Big Day out Melbourne 2008 Pt 2

Ok, here’s the main event. I’m sitting at the airport refusing to pay for net, so this will go up in a few days. I just had to get it out while it is still fresh in my mind.

Big Day out Melbourne 2008 Pt 1

“I’m too old for this”. Was one of my thoughts. Covered in my and other peoples sweat, choking on the dust kicked up by 40,000 people and legs that don’t mosh like they used too.
I loved every second of it.
Arrival was early, that was good, it was still cool. My mate Andrew and me [...]

Less than a week

Till I head back towards Vancouver, via a few days in Seattle. I’m getting to catch up with some friends in Seattle which will be nice, then ‘if’ snow hasn’t closed the tracks I’m going to try and get the train back to Vancouver. I hear it’s really nice and heaps better than the buss. [...]

Musings

In my business (A full time urban missionary), I talk to people allot, about a lot of things. This makes me think. and sometimes I like to think out loud. Occasionally I’ll post something here to help us all think.
Why do people get hurt by the ‘church’? The [...]

Photography

this is another one of my geek things. I’ve been semi interested in photography ever since taking 2 years of photography under Mr Short in High school. Back in those days, it was all B&W with a Nikon F50 and doing our own darkroom developments. Great fun and I learnt a heap.
The problem with photography [...]

Goodbyes

I think after a few months, and packing up some more at my parents house, I’m starting to mourn leaving Australia all over again… It felt a bit strange leaving my parents house this morning. (as a side note, I took a 2.5 hour train ride, so this trip is now officially trains, planes and [...]
