laugh, love, and eat an onigiri everyday.
Check out the new Jameson Whiskey commercial. My cousin Kevin is the Art director for the ad. He's obviously really talented. Coolest commercial ever! Apparently, the Hawk of Achill is a real ancient Irish legend/poem about a man conversing with a hawk on the island of Achill at the edge of the known world. Crazy, …
WHOA. Last night was crazy. The winds in the SGV were unreal. I drove out to the westside for dinner in my Element... NOT the best car to drive in a windstorm with. Since it's shaped like a box, you could really feel the wind against the car. I might as well have had a …
The Church needs art. I was sitting in our staff meeting the other week and we began to talk about yet another organization that wanted Evergreen's support for their upcoming praise night. In my time on staff at this church I have received many letters, emails, and phone calls asking for our church's support of …
I got it. Gold status for Starbucks! If I wasn't a pastor, I probably wouldn't have this. Sermon prep forces me to get out of the house and go to a public place to work (I get cabin fever at home). Starbucks, although by far not the best coffee, does offer many convenient locations. Now …
Tonight I enter enemy territory. I speak at USC's Asian American Christian Fellowship tonight. Haha. I am a Bruin and I definitely bleed blue and gold (those have been my school colors for elementary/jr high, high school, college, and even Fuller's hood colors were blue and gold)... however, I have to admit I really like …
Last night I attended a reception at Azusa Pacific University for Makoto Fujimura, a phenomenal artist who studied the ancient art of Nihonga painting. He created a series of pieces to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. His pieces were amazing! He uses all natural pigments, gold and silver leaf, on either …
This weekend, Ayako-san is visiting LA! Ayako Kaino was our CRASH base leader when our Japan team stayed in Tono this past August. She helped host and manage all the different volunteer teams that came to the CRASH Tono base while she was there. Ayako is an amazing young woman who has a huge heart …
Check out the new Boy Scouts of America ads... they're so weird!! haha. They're a little disturbing, but in a weird way, I also like them. They're 50% creepy, 50% genius. I really like these ads from the Boy Scouts in Canada... I recently learned of two guys in our church that were Eagle Scouts. …
Show #2 of 2. I put on our church's 2nd art showcase the week after the Vine. We exhibited commissioned work from modern artist Jenny Goto. Jenny used to go to Evergreen years ago... she was our artist-in-residence at one time and came up with many beautiful pieces for our church. She has been working …

I saw an ass in Alta Dena. The other day, I was driving Fara back to her house and we saw the craziest thing... a small Mexican cowboy-looking man riding a donkey (or some sort of dwarf horse) to the Ace hardware store across the street! HAHA. No joke. He rode down the street on …
