More about Joe Alexander (I’m often learning new things as a result of March Madness). The West Virginia SF/PF with nasty game and an unusual, globe-hopping background. Let’s see.
Tall, wiry-strong frame, and sick game with a solid midrange jumper (check the release point!), and jump-out-of-the-gym [...]

It’s kinda funny how, after becoming a Global Studies student, I’ve started to notice globalization as a phenomenon a lot more. It’s like I suddenly developed a Globalization-o-meter which notices and documents when people refer to globalization or when I notice random elements of cultural mixing or that sort of thing.
Among other things, I really [...]

It’s Easter =). Jesus is risen! Though we were still sinners, He died for us. And He loves us all with the most powerful, undeserved, life-giving love we will ever know.

Ugh. Come on China. I’m more measured/lenient when I read China news than most, but this is all bad. Kick out all the foreign reporters. Feed Han Chinese propaganda which stirs up ethnic tensions against Tibetans. Blame the Dalai Lama for violence and trying to undermine the Olympics… I’m so saddened by what’s going on [...]

How breathtaking, watching these young men
Playing for their colors and their blood
What bedlam – brackets formed
No sooner set than cruelly broken
Behemoths roar and beat their chests
While underdogs circle, sniffing for weakness
Here, much glory will be claimed and won
Legends written in leather and twine
But how fleeting a glory that can be
Glass hearts quickly shattered by capricious [...]

How many more times must we see the sun rise
The moon set, its liquid kiss melt into the horizon
To realize that this one life is all we have
Each beat of our heart is one we cannot ask back
Truly, time waits for few, and the sand
In the hourglass rarely flows upwards.
And if I regret those things [...]

So recently my classes have really been challenging the way I think about things. Perhaps I’ve even developed a shade of Marxist criticalism in my academic analysis.
One of the things I’ve been thinking about a lot is the way that wealth is distributed and the economy is organized within our era of transnational capital. It [...]

Portfolio Addendum (Continued) – Final.
Once in awhile I’ll see a small stream. Or perhaps a medium-sized planter. A small fence between where I am and where I’m going. And a voice in the back of my head will say ‘jump that!’ And how I do love to jump. I love that feeling of leaving my [...]

Portfolio Addendum: (Continued)
“I did not make it; no, it is making me.” -Rich Mullins, Creed.
There is something about me. Something inherent in the nature of existence, something which, while always true while we walk upon this earth, feels especially important now. I am being made. I am a different person today than I was yesterday, [...]

Note: this is part of my portfolio addendum. I still stand by my belief that my portfolio stands alone. It exists as a completed product, and while it is by no means perfect, I don’t feel that I should go back and rework it. It encapsulates feelings and ideas from a point in time, perhaps [...]
