This week is promising to be an absolutely raunchy week for us here at IO. Tak will be posting all of the Hospital Mixes over the week and will be giving his review on the latest from Ego Theives Dubfluential series. I will be bringing the newest from Dub & Run, Cotti, 501, and any other beautiful tracks that fall into my lap.

Tonight, I’m bringing the latest in the mysterious Dub & Run series. It’s a collaboration of unofficial tracks from the dubstep world’s biggest producers such as 16 Bit, Marchemllow and DJ Madd. I’m not too sure who did these two but they are absolute killers. The first track features a remix of Tomcraft’s track Loneliness. The drop is pure audio bliss. Cumsies everywhere. Track two, called Milk is a lighter track which some may call true Dubstep. Whatever it is, it’s a beautifully melodic track with some light Jah lyrics.

Artist: Dub & Run
Release: Loneliness / Milk [DAR011]

Chronicles of Oklahome

Location of the county seat of Jonesboro was accomplished by a board of commissions after Shawneetown had to be abandoned because it had became Indian Terretory Oct. 22, 1832. Thomas P. Esdridge, a Judge had before him Wm. Collier, Chs. Burkham, Travis Wright and Samuel Worthington, commissioners appointed by the Act of the legislature of Arkansas to locate the seat of government of justice in the county of Miller Co. Arkansas and more distinctly to define the county borderline

In the past 4 years, I’ve undergone more change than almost any other time in my life.  We are entering a new season in our the life of the Pioneer Engage church plant, as well as a new season at my work and in my family.  A new season means change.  The ancient manuscript of Ecclesiastes talks about change and a time and season for everything under the sun.

There is something to be said for stability.  You know what to expect day in and day out.  Change throws you into the unknown.  Change tests your faith.  Change challenges what you’ve done before.  Change makes you grow.

Rudyard Kipling in his poem, If…, writes:

“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!”

When I read this poem, I imagine a world in constant change, when ordinary men and women are called to do extraordinary things.  Everything comes against them and only their trust in the One who set them on this path can see them through.

We have two new families in the church this week.  These first time parents are beginning a remarkable journey.  I remember where our children were newborns, and you can almost see them changing before your eyes.   Now, 3 of our 4 are teenagers, and the change continues as I watch them go from children to adults.  The journey is new for both of us.  Though we were once teenagers, we were never parents of teenagers before, and their world is different than ours.

At Pioneer Engage Church, we are about to enter another new season.   We’ve outgrown our current home, and found a bigger one, but not a permanent one yet.  With it will come change.  How willing are we to follow what God has called us to?  How willing are we to continue the journey, and like Abraham, wandering through the land living in a tent (temporary housing) without a final destination in sight?  Will some choose not to follow?

The shepherd’s heart is to lose none of the flock.  He knows the new pasture is better than the old, but the sheep only see what is.  Some will trust the shepherd to take them to a better place, while others will stubbornly want to hold on where they are.  The shepherd knows they cannot remain where they are, so he does his best to move them on, torn between the desire to get them to the better place and the compassion not to lose a single one.

Life never stays still.  It may seem too for a little while, but isn’t in reality.  We can choose to embrace the unknown and face the change or cling to the known, the familiar, the past, and fade away into it.

Will you keep your head when all around you are losing theirs?  Can you trust yourself and your God when all men doubt you?  Will you risk it and choose to grow into the man or woman you are meant to be?  An ordinary person living an extraordinary life!

We were in the kitchen at a friend’s birthday party. He was cute. I was doing dishes. The conversation flows. And ends…. Well, Almost ends. Should’ve ended.

He politely says “It was so nice to meet you, What’s your name again?”

I should’ve just said “Julie” but I didn’t.

I actually listed the five previous occasions that he had “met me”.

Listed them.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

I’m sure I wasn’t as rude as I remember it.  But I felt terrible.

I was on a mission to find him on any social networking site and he was nowhere to be found.

I had to ask forgiveness.

Danne said drop it. I couldn’t.

Months went by and Danne meets someone “who would be great” for me. She used two sentences to describe him. And I knew it was him.

I had to ask for forgiveness.

Danne said drop it. I didn’t.

Every time I saw him over the next few weeks, it was overkill.

“Hi Matt!”  ”How are you doing,Matt!” “Hey, Matt!” and he looked like a deer in headlights.

Then I felt bad for doing that.

One day I mustered up the guts to ask forgiveness, like any good christian girl should do.

“Hey, Matt…. I really need to ask for your forgiveness”

“Oh. Really? What?”
“Yeah, this one time I saw you I was really ungracious”

“Oh. Really?”

“Yeah I felt really bad”

“What happened? I am a really easy-going guy, I don’t even remember.”

“Ohhh I don’t really want to bring it back up. I just wanted to ask forgiveness”

“Don’t worry about it……..  What’s your name again?”

” (nervous irate pride killing giggle) Julie, my name is Julie”

Plot: Five men wake up in a locked-down warehouse with no memory of who they are. They are forced to figure out who is good and who is bad to stay alive.

Flipping circles and mumbled voices
Overarching the sky line and the distant horizon
I am going to run until the horizon is part of me
I am going to cry until the rivers flow back toward me
Flipping squares and a cacophony of signs
Breaking the delicate contrast of green and blue
I was going to come and see you but I don’t know the way
I was going to hold you but I don’t know what to say
Flipping triangles and dominant shapes
Fragmenting the faith held in my hands
I stand
I stand
Just a fragile grip
I weep
I weep
Just a quick sip
Flipping circles and mumbled voices
Overarching the sky line and the distant horizon.

English Title: The Complete Fairy Tales (LT)
Original Title: Contes des fées
Author: Charles Perrault
Series?: Nope.
Basic Reason for Beginning: Fairytales! Actually, for all I like fairytales, I’ve never come across Perrault’s originals, only the Grimm and Andersen and folktale-style anonymous ones.
Basic Reason for Finishing: Fairytales! Also, with fairytales being an interest of mine, I have to have some idea of what Perrault’s fairytales say, right? With him such a prominent figure and all…
Blurb: Wherein we find a translation of the fairytales Perrault wrote/adapted that we now all know and love.
Book Rereadability: For research/comparison purposes, sure. But he’s a little too strong/obvious with the morals for me. (And, of course, some of them I plain disagree with. Hi, Bluebeard moral!)
Author Rereadability: *points up*
Recommendation: Okay, if you have an interest in fairytales and the development thereof, you probably cannot pass Perrault by. Either in the original French or this translation. If you’re not particularly interested in fairytales, though, skip it. And, I can scarce believe I’m saying this, don’t use this edition for bedtime stories. It’s a scholarly edition with scholarly notes and introductions, and I’m fairly certain you want to stick to the adaptations that leave out the heavy (out-dated) moralizing.

Pages: 256
ISBN: 9780199236831
Challenges: None.

Thoughts, Burbles, Etc

I just… don’t quite know what to say. In some ways there is nothing to say. We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty, or Little Red Riding-hood, or Cinderella. They’re fairytales, simply that. There are, however, also a few less well-known fairytales and some which, one might argue, aren’t fairytales at all, just moralizing, didactic stories.

Fairytales are a field that is still relatively open in scholarly pursuits. At least compared to some others. In that light, it’s interesting that a topic that can produce book upon book has as few notations and side-information that this book has.

Or perhaps it’s not so surprising after all and the surprising fact lies merely in the knowledge that, in most of the ‘university use books’ I’ve read over the past few years (by which I mean books like Arden Shakespeare and Oxford University Press and all) most of those books have at least as many pages with framework information – intro, notes, appendixes, etc – as they have story. Not so with this book. In fact, I thought the appendixes and notes were downright meager and disappointing. Having bought the book partially for that reason, it’s easy to dismiss the book as a ‘failure’ in terms of the goals I bought it for.

That would, however, be untruth. All the information surrounding the book was just bonus material. You have to remember, I bought this to acquaint myself with the fairytales as Perrault tells them. That it does. I just wish everything around the fairytales had more meat to it. It’s a quick read, but only the stories truly satisfy and that, chiefly, because the moral makes you think. Not necessarily on what one was supposed to think, I’m sure.

They’re clever, interesting little pieces, though. For all I wish there’d been more background information, I’m glad I bought and read it. It’s one more interesting puzzle piece in the area that interests me (most) in my reading, and it’s one that has been a long time in filling in. We don’t remember, for the most part, that some of these fairytales survive today because Perrault wrote them down. It seems that, whether oral or written retellings, fairytales must be transmuted, reinvented, recreated… They must be in order to survive. Nowadays, not many people know the story of Cinderella as the Grimm’s tell it, nor even how Perrault tells it. They know Disney, though. Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is likewise.

Such lesser-known stories like Bluebeard or Diamonds and Toads and their variants… They too must be transmuted into something new, something of the next times, to survive in the public sphere of human, Western society. (Even then there is a question of whether they’ll ever be as well-known.)

It’s an interesting thought, is it not?

Other Reviews

I haven’t found any yet. Please don’t hesitate to drop a note if you’ve written one!

Have you ever thought about how easy it is to unknown?

And how difficult it on the other hand is to be known?
I am not talking about “known” as in famous, just how much easier it is to say things – do things and so on, if you dont show who you are.
How many times a year, or maybe a month – do YOU think: ” no, I cant do that or say that, what would everybody think!!!” Everybody being, your colleages, friends, family and so on.

Or what about being SEMI´ unknown?

I think Semi unknown, thinking about when you are telling somebody that you love them OR hate them in an SMS, e-mail og though chat.
That is also much easier, but you cant really say what you have on your mind.

Some do say exactly what they have on their mind, but always with risk!

I will use this blog to get everything I have on my mind out in the open, of course with a little camuflage, as I really dont want to lose my girlfriend – although she is difficult sometimes! (see, that felt good allready!)

Its a pretty sight in the darkness,
its a face dat is staring at me in the unknown..

in the beauty of this night,
its just the heartbeats that feel pretty..

its the darkness wen it meets the destiny..
its sunshine when it is about a face..

the dew drops… or the blood drops…
they feel the same in the beauty of the darkness..

The sunshine reveals more then what you need..
its never enough though to feel what u want..

the darkness is pretty cos it is the reality
there is a curtain but its not the mask of cruelty..

its a pretty sight in the darkness,
its a face that is staring at me in the unknown..

In August I wrote a post about resilience.  Since then, I have worked with a few clients on how to actually become resilient.   The main question was whether resilience is a trait that some people are born with and some aren’t and whether it can be cultivated.

What emerged from the work was that while some people are resilient naturally, that is, they strive and thrive in the face of difficulty, the rest of us can cultivate resilience.

We become resilient when we fail.  There is something tricky to work out here.  Often, if we believe that our capabilities are fixed, for whatever reason, so we would only seek interactions and activities that would prove us right, that is, we will only engage with tasks in which we cannot fail.  This behaviour represents our limitations and also our sense of capability.

People who have conflicting feelings in certain situations, can understand this.  By conflicting feelings I mean wanting something to happen so we feel valued and at the same not wanting it so we can confirm our negative beliefs about ourselves.  Think about love, relationships, promotions and blind dates as examples.

But, failure is also where we meet our potential to learn and to me learning is growth.  When we learn, we enter a state of mind in which failing or succeeding become less relevant, what is relevant is the information we absorb and that we feel smart by just learning.

So what’s the trick? Adding activities into our lives in which we have a 50/50 or larger chance to fail, regardless of what the activity is as long as it has a sense of risk taking and as small as it may seem.  And fail and fail and fail. The more we fail, the more resilient we become and if we maintain the element of learning in the process we can see ourselves as being successful.

Staring down
A whole new path
Where it twists and turns
Keeping me back

Leaving me
In the dust
Watching my chains
Turn to rust

They bind me here
To this small town place
Where everythings cluttered
And I have no space

To think
To breathe
Every moment
I wish I could leave

The people who hate me
So I can be alone
Where I can go where Iwant
In this world unknown

Vill veta vart man kan hitta sidan 6… någon?

I can honestly say that I know much less now than I did ten years ago when I began teaching. Each day that passes now is a deeper step into the unknown, a place far beyond where thought has ever touched. A place where there are no ideas, ideals, or new theories—but instead a living and dynamic whole which alone can be called sacred, everlasting, and right before our very eyes.
