a new lifestyle – recalibrating

There have been a lot of changes going on the past few weeks. Some good, some bad, some unpredictable, some long hoped for. And yet, still more changes to come.

My last post I talked about a garden hose in a spiritual context, and how the water that flows from it is God’s blessings and my worrying is the equivalent to squeezing that very hose, hence stopping the flow. It’s only natural for us to worry about things whether they are in our control or not. Ultimately, it’s easier said than done not to worry. Real life problems and situations like to make themselves known in big bold colors and noises and (speaking for myself) God’s gentle voice gets lost in the excitement. Read more ›

the garden hose

Over the past month or so, and especially the past two weeks or so, I’ve been on an intense path of getting myself aligned with God. I don’t talk about my spirituality too much on my blog, but just so you know, it’s paramount to me and I feel as though I should explain why I do some of the things I do and it’s influence on my social networking life.

My sister gave me Destined to Reign: Devotional by Joseph Prince. For those that don’t know, a devotional is a daily reading of the Bible but with some commentary on a verse or verses, with a thought for the day. Some have themes like living healthy or being successful or prayer, or are geared towards men or women. Typically, you’d start the day with it, maybe before or after a morning prayer or worship, whatever your personal routine may be if you have one. I usually keep it next to my bed so as soon as I wake up, it’s one of the top 5 things I look at before officially declaring myself to be awake and/or up and at ’em. On occasion, I’ll bring the book with me wherever I’m going if I forget to read it or don’t have time. (Click the picture for a link to the book or click this link to see today’s reading.)

a new lifestyle – an end is nigh

I’ve been vigorously praying, hoping and working these past few days towards a serious change. I haven’t made a “new lifestyle” post in quite sometime, mostly because a few detours and events had taken place that weren’t exactly worth writing about… or I whenever I thought about blogging, somehow out of nowhere food would appear. I’m apologizing in advance if I get a little ambiguous at times… there are certain things you need to know to understand, but even a detail oriented person such as myself knows that you don’t necessarily need to know everything to understand the story. Also, beware of my love of analogies and imagery. Read more ›

parental cycle of wisdom

Here’s a salute to the parents out there that have always taught their children the ways of life and have done the best they can, and still do, to steer them in the right direction. These are the parents whom have lived life and have already been through certain hardships that they don’t want us to follow, and advise us time and time again not to follow, yet we find ourselves as the great Dr. Cosby has described as “brain damaged.” Read more ›

indoob! presents: jobs [video]

This is for all those people who ask me what I do/what I’ve been up to. However, I feel I still haven’t fully answered this question.

a dark night when life imitates art

Last night I had planned to record a video review for The Dark Knight Rises after attending a midnight premiere. I was too tired to do so, and I figured I could do it some time the next day. I wasn’t expecting to wake up to news of a mass shooting in a Colorado theater.

Besides the act itself, what terrifies me is reading that supposedly the shooter wanted to be addressed as the Joker… or whatever.

There is still a lot of information we don’t know. There is still a lot to process. There is still a lot I’m trying to wrap my head around, so I apologize in advance for any incomplete thoughts. However, saying “my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to those families” is a massive understatement. Read more ›

a new lifestyle – well balanced meat

It’s been a while since I’ve done a “lifestyle” post and I almost didn’t write the one you’re reading now. Everything I wrote sounded dismal and depressing to me, going against my philosophy for what “indoob” represents which is being positive. Except when it comes to a bad movie, all bets are off.

But in short, I’ve added to my career plate. More meat rather than veggies. If it’s one thing this foodie can tell you, it’s that too much meat with put you in a food coma faster than the itis (see picture above, food prepared by my sister). To me, they aren’t the same, but very similar. I once had a prime rib that was 3 inches thick and I could wear it as a mask if I wanted to disrespect glorious food like that, but do you think I could have finished it in one sitting? Read more ›

the spider-men comparison: sequel vs reboot

To make my life easier as a lazy writer, the 2002 Spider-Man (and it’s sequels) will just be OSM and 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man will be TASM. Got it? Good.

Now it’s come to my attention that there are folks out there that are confused as to why Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst from OSM are no-shows in this new version known as TASM. I will admit, I may have been a bit lazy in my recent review in detailing what the difference is between this reboot and the original franchise. But I think the best way to explain it is chronologically. Read more ›

“the amazing spider-man” film review

While I did record a video review mere moments after I left the theater, I don’t feel it’s up to par for sharing just yet. In the background there were too many explosions, swashbucklings, and there was a dragon that almost ate my car… (all captured on my camera of course) but the audio was bad. I may change my mind and end up uploading it to YouTube and adding it to this post. With that said, let’s continue as if no one will ever witness that incredible video.

The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise started a decade ago. Wow, I’m getting old. Andrew Garfield picks up the mask this time around to retell the origin of the famous web slinger. Read more ›
