Numa Numa in Chinese

Well not exactly.
If you have no clue what I’m referring to, Numa Numa or “Dragostea din tei” by O-Zone was a major hit a few years ago abroad. It really came to fame here in the US through a viral video showing what a teenager with time, imagination, a smash hit and a webcam can do. And so we have the Numa Numa Dance.
You’ll know it when you hear it.

But anyways a smart animated video on Tudou has tranliterated the Romanian words into Chinese.
Now do the Numa Numa dance. You know you want to.

It’s Monday. Do it.

New Look

Why Not?
New Year. New Header. New Focus.

What do ya think? Well it’s not much different from the previous header but the graffiti in the back makes it a little more urban. A little more me.

I’ve also added my Technorati Profile

random. threadless in chi-town.

a random update hailing the cool in chi-town.
one of my favorite tshirt companies is threadless. it’s a competition, it’s about design, it’s about the people, it’s about t-shirts, it’s a website, it’s now a real store in chicago opening today. since 2000 threadless has taken scores of t-shirt design submissions and have chosen 4-6 winners every week to be printed and sold online. the threadless online community gets to choose what design they like and even submit their own photos of the shirts they’ve purchased modeled in various imaginative settings for our bemusement.

Redo.able

Time for a new look. WordPress released this theme just in time and just for me.
Well, at least I’d like to think so. It’s called redoable lite…how appropriate.

Like the new presentation? Now, if I can get the rest of this blog organized.

we’ve moved ! ! !

you might have heard rumors.
you might have wondered if we’ve dropped off the face of the earth. afterall, i haven’t posted for months! or talked to anyone for that matter. i admit, i’ve been a hermit.

well…here’s the facts ::
1. we’ve moved. we are no longer in the state of new jersey.
we are officially residents in philadelphia, pa.
(insert background music here…)
motown philly back again..doin a little eastcoast swang…
it’s been almost a month since we’ve moved into our new home here.
2. yes…we’ve also purchased a home. pictures to arrive soon. see the pre-move pictures here
3. yes…i’m part of the pastoral staff at the chinese christian church and center, my new church home and fam.

pastoral ministry is not for the faint of heart. it’s big. soooo big.
PRAY FOR ME!
there’ll be a dedication/installation service for me on Nov 5. So if you’re around…

i’ll share more later in another post about why cccnc and why philly. that deserves a separate posting of its own. i look forward to posting more about our journey here as it unfolds.

so yeah, it’s an exciting time. several months more or less in the making. we kinda just packed up and went. discover this new chapter in our lives with us. God only knows what will happen next. it’s time to dream the impossible, think of what has not been thought about. and MOVE!
stay tuned.

things that don’t change – postings of jayden. you’ll always have that.
i entered this picture of jayden in the babyGap casting call of the next gap baby model.

making noises

eating toes

my heart must go on. . .

season finales. 24…ugh. greys anatomy…argh!!! izzie…wut da? o meredith why? ok that was all too much for one single night of television…and nonetheless delayed by the presidential address.
the drama that is my life. dismal unpredictable weather. jayden growing up before thine eyes. and yes, the apple blues. how much can my heart take?

apple has shocked and awed. my technolust rages on. the new macbooks are the real thing. sleek and sexy. i really have to write more about my experiences of the gospel of apple one of these days.

i’m really ultra sad that i can’t make the grand event for the opening of our fifth avenue store in nyc. someone pick up a shirt for me….pleeeeeeeeze? sigh. if you’re in the city. hit it up. it’s going to be…so. clutch.

if you’re looking for a retreat/conference to attend this summer, let me suggest a couple that i will be at. not that my being there should incite you to go…uh you should go for you. for God. for something else but if you must, sure, for me…

1) new york summer conference. i’ll be giving a workshop on pop culture. hit it up. check out my updated bio. i’m such a dork.

2) i’ll be speaking for the chinese bible church of maryland next week. so i look forward to hanging with some of you guys there.

3) also in august i’ll be speaking at the familykeepers conference at messiah college

so yeah, lots definitely going on and keeping me busy. i most covet your prayers faithful friends.

some of you have want to know what’s been going on in my life. so here’s a brief sketch of what it is that i’ve been up to. the past year has been a real defining time for me filled with lots of firsts and neverfailing to be one heck of a roller coaster ride. but all in all – soul searching. i’ve been seaching for my soul. searching for my humanity. searching for some simple goodness that i can do for many many years. some of you know, i’ve been searching for a new home – a new church home. it’s been a year since i’ve graduated seminary. so what do i do with a mdiv? i don’t know still but yet God is still incredibly faithful and truly sovereign. he has perfect timing. more recently i’ve been looking at different churches and looking for God to grow my heart. some opportunities have opened and some have closed. i guess i’ll be “candidating” or “courting” some churches this season. it’s almost like speed dating but not. this has been a very grueling process already. my palms are sweaty and my knees rattle. i’m short of breath. today i scheduled a full marathon interview weekend with a church. a full three days of getting to know yous, theological grillings and so forth. i know some of you may attend this particular church. i will withhold names of churches for now. but dear friends, pray for me. bless your heart.

btw. new jayden video is up on youtube. i want to see my videos get viral!

hell froze over

oh $#@p!

OMG! hell has officially frozen over. . .
i come in to work this morning to witness a bunch of jaws dropped low and gathered around a 20″iMac in the back of house. the news is out.
macs do windows now. introducing the apple boot camp beta
what does that mean? what does it all mean? is this a sign? babies are crying all around. mothers are puzzled.
at least in my house.
watch out dell. rev up your engines. IT’s ON!!!
i heart my apple stock (AAPL: 64.57 : 10:13AM +4.4 since i came in and heard the news)
it’s also going to mean a lot more work for me…sigh.

btw. if anyone wants to buy my macbook pro. . . holla. yeah i’m serious.
here’s the specs :: macbook pro 2.0ghz intel core duo/2gb/256vram/100gb/applecare

little moments . . .
this has been circulating and i thought it be great to share with all of you. i think sometimes we need to really experience joy in the little things. when was the last time you celebrated something so miniscule but yet so unique and special? i know it also takes some time for people to get this. that’s ok, take your time. then smile and enjoy this little moment.

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00am & 1:00pm, the time and date will be: 01:02:03 04/05/06

You may now return to your normal stuff.
