August 08, 2007 - CD Review - Fuel's "Angels and Demons" |

In the post-grunge rock fallout of the late 90's and early 00's, Fuel became a mainstay for rock fans, fusing the emotive spirit of Nirvana's musical revolution with a progressive and compelling sound that made alternative rock a viable option in the face of the rise of rap and hip-hop.... [more] |

September 13, 2007 - CD Review - Sarah Blasko's "What The Sea Wants The Sea Will Have" |
|
The perrenial liability of pop music is the tendancy of over-produced, singles'-charts-minded arrangements to betray lyrical meaning, as the value of words is sacrificed on the alter of commercial viability. Such a depraved environment craves seriousness, originality and a disavowal of th... [more] |

January 01, 2010 - Favorite Albums of 2009 |
|
2009 was a bit of a disappointment for me musically. It's not that there wasn't a ton of great music released...it's more that I allowed myself to get far to busy to truly enjoy a reasonable amount of it. This travesty is something I intend to resolve over the next year. |
In my last post , I described in a fair amount of detail what I call the "Truth about Easter." more]
So if you didn't realize it, Easter is only a few short days away. And yes, we are in the midst of Holy Week, even though it seems far too early in the year (the tournament isn't even over yet, fo... [more]

Welcome to my blog. I am often asked what "Exist/Dissolve" means. Well, that is certainly a good question, and I am currently in the process of discovering the answer myself. Prima facie, it strikes me as encapsulating the existensial crisis that is our lives as finite, contingent beings. For a brief moment, we exist, and the next we dissolve into the nothingness of non-existence. From a theological perspective, it is, for me, a sort of ad hoc apologetic for resurrection - i.e., if to exist/dissolve is the human dilemma, there is nothing inherent to the person that guarantees existence, either now or "after" death. Therefore, resurrection is at the same time both the height of absurdity (for it is a notion entirely alien to the paradigm of existence to which we are naturally enculturated) and the only hope for the human to persevere beyond the pale of death.
