beautiful and powerful - a video of/by my church family

you guys.

i have to appreciate how forthright he is.

troubled hubble is one of those bands that will be forever linked to my college years. they were a constant at our university and most outdoor shows in the midwest. so sad they aren't together anymore.

hilarious!

not the style i practice, but i love it anyway:

this is so beautiful

my inspiration for the day:

my friend stephanie is a talented musician with an incredible gift for writing worship songs. you can go "like" her on facebook at stephanie pilypaitis.
she and christy are both inspiring, fun, and lovely women. here ya go:

Traffick 911 PSA 10 from Nate Bernard on Vimeo.

also, i really like taekwondo.

rosie thomas is my favorite female vocalist. hands down. she originally recorded this song with sufjan stevens, which, as you can imagine, was incredible. this is a pretty decent live recording. don't worry, it's ok. you can love her too.

this is my friend nate, who dan and i stayed with for part of our trip to australia. he auditioned for the Australian version of Big Brother. Yes, he made it! No, he didn't win, because the guy actually has morals. =) but i thought you'd all enjoy his audition tape.

oh my.

because we have to laugh too.
