a voice in the dark videos

"The most confronting part, is now that you've heard, now that you know... You've got some kind of responsibility... TO DO something." - Words from Mike Murray to provoke action after you've heard about the injustices that are going on today... In the craze of everything, i finally uploaded these videos that stephen, nick and myself worked on the end of last year... it was a project we fully embraced because it was no question, our hearts, to use media & music to be a voice in the dark...

meet Cyrus Jamal

After four years with my canon rebel 300D ... it was time to say farewell. i've acknowledged how good & faithful its been to me over the years here. But really... it was due time. Good things come to those who wait... and with that said, let me introduce you to something good.... and that is my new Canon 50D... also known as Cyrus. (like that? though some friends insist to call it Cyrus Jamal). There are too many features on Cyrus to wrap my mind around as of right now, but as i go, i'll learn. This is by no means to gloat about material things in my possession, but to see this as more of a testimony of God's faithfulness when it comes to... yes... even these material things that can be used as tools to serve Him... I must acknowledge my most amazing generous parents and a few supporters that really helped me out and I really... I am so so very grateful.... so with all that said... you stay tuned for photos brought to you by Cyrus...

its a time warp

yes, for awhile it was all about 'manga faces' but we've moved on in our lives and begun 'yearbooking yourself.' this brilliant website... which falls highly under the office distraction category... takes a picture of you that you upload and you can see what you would look like from the 1950's all the way to the 2000's... so heres jaso and aidan and myself through a time warp. its hillarious.... now go... yearbook yourself... www.yearbookyourself.com

its not just birthday cake

im not really sad here. i just thought that it would be funny cause everyone has smiley photos of them and their birthday cake so i thought i'd do just the opposite and pout. im 26 now. i could do anything... okay maybe not anything still- its a pretty legit age. *phew* im at the brink of my mid-20's.' entering a new year of my life, like i've always found, surprises me everytime. i know this shouldn't be the case, but since i've been in ywam, my birthdays always seem to fall on the oddest days of a transition and so "this day" hits me like a brick of emotions & insecurities and all these other funny thoughts. but then something embraces me that i can't really explain and everything ALWAYS turns out, and i sit back, look around and observe the people who i share my birthday cake with.... it not just a birthday cake. its the ones surrounding me that makes bringing in the new year so special. (but of course if i had my way, i would have my family and friends from home here). but during this week long celebration of hiking up and spending a day by the waterfall, spending an evening under the stars at a bonfire, more dinner parties, more cake, and having a 'beverages around the world' combined pub birthday party with 2 good friends of mine... i'll say that this one is pretty high up there... and it gives me no reason to pout...
