now playing: all the reasons why / downhere with not martel singing lead. cause when martel sings lead, i get annoyed. don't know why.
So, here's an update for bloggerdom. I'm currently in belleville for a job interview tomorrow morning with a custom publishing / media firm. I wouldn't have thought that I'd be here even up to 4 days ago, but here I am. This could mean some huge changes - from place of residence, to job description, to school plans in the short term (the long term would remain pretty well the same). But, I'm really pretty content with the idea. As much as I'd miss the ptbros, the opportunity would be simply phenomenal. We're talking a career move. Anyway, are appreciated. Not that I would rock the house, or get what I want, but That's all I need. Mack out.
Lord help me be the one You're making me.

now playing: Portrait of an Apology / jars
a post from cook
Now, don't get me wrong. I love cookster. But I have to disagree with him on this one. Certainly our favorites may shift slightly based on mood, but there are certain things that one can always return to. For example, my favorite movie will almost always return to braveheart or that thing you do. My favorite song: as long as I'm not married, it'll probably be Table for Two by Caedmon's Call, cause it describes my life. My favorite food: Lasagna, no matter how many days I eat it in a row. Even the cheap no name stuff. I know... sick, but true. Anyway, it is possible to have favorites. Now, if you catch me at the right time, I might say something else based on mood. I.E. movie / romantic mood / sabrina (harrison and julia). Song / Angry / Crazy Times. But, those variances don't disprove the rule. Anyway, always up for disagreeing with Cook. He's my favorite! ;-)
Alright... work is early tomorrow. I'll catch you guys later!
does this kid ever have anything to say?

opportunity knocks
now playing: world's apart / joc live
You know how sometimes you crack a joke about something that would be a dream... absolutely impossible. And then a week later, the very opportunity you cracked a joke about falls into your lap? Yeah. wild. Crazy when that happens. How to respond? Lord, let me in on this!

race cars
now playing: something on the belleville Christian station
So, I'm in Belleville. For probably another 2 and a half hours, then it's back to peterborough. I have a test assignment for the same publishing company my mom works for, so hopefully that'll go well. It's been a productive 2 days mentally and physically, and has given me time for spiritual contemplation.
So, as I raced up the 401, I was thinking about the (I think most guys have a thing for car analogies...) On the road of life, there are those who -- much like a long haul trucker -- go strong and steady. On the other hand, there are those who -- much like a drag racer -- fly along the road for 5.6 seconds, and then fizzle out thanks to the parachute they're dragging. Sadly, I think most of us are characterized by the latter How awesome would it be if we could all be consistent and sincere? That's my hope and prayer for our generation. Keep it real guys.

where ya been so long
now playing: corrina, corrina - bob dylan (YEAH!)
It's hard to go wrong, when one is listening to Bob Dylan sing classics. And contemplating God's goodness. I've decided that it's a good thing that God's character is universal constant. I think i've spent a while trying to figure things out that might be constant. In fact, it's possible that many - nay most - futile pursuits can be boiled down to the pursuit of consistency. We'd all like to be able to depend on things, people, relationships, whatever. God's character doesn't change. You can bank on it. It's a sure bet.
also, bob dylan really does rock my face off.
he made it, why can't we?

now playing: closure / believing didymus
don't go looking for it, cause there's only like 30 odd copies of "puddlejumping" out there... it'll be gold if the guys from BD ever make it big. ;-) Here's one of my favorites though, for your contemplative enjoyment
sometimes a song transcends a situation, and becomes an encouragement, no matter what's going on. That's what "closure" has become. Ironically, the theme from deliverance does just about the same thing. ;-) Alright guys, rock and roll, I hope this moment from the past was as encouraging for you as it was for me!
andymack, signin' out.
andymack and the mack is back no slack

RC Sproul
now playing: God is great / sonic flood. still my theme song
Okay, so I'm pretty sure that R.C. is a net junkie or something. Here's why. When he was talking about philosophy, he was like: these philosophy teachers will pretty well do or say whatever they want, and as long as they do it in a hushed tone, everyone's like: wow, that's profound! So, that came to mind today as I did some reading amongst writers of my generation. Sure, we may not lower our voices (mostly because we're too lazy to figure out how to program that in HTML, or in PHPBBCode, or whatever), but often times we seem to have a desire to come across as being profound. So, we find big ways to say nothing at all. I'm definitely pointing the finger at myself, because the more I contemplate it, the more I see it. So, my challenge to myself is to learn to shut up except for when I can actually say something that matters. Anyway, for now, I'm gonna go watch a movie and do a development plan for work. Not that it'll matter, cause I'll probably be leaving there shortly anyway, but it's all good. Peace Out...side
wahoo... job change!

planning big
now playing: zach's song // school of rock (AWW YEAH!)
Hey kids, mack here. I just wanted to say, real quick: don't be afraid to think big, and plan big. We're such an apathetic lazy generation. Make loving God your number one priority, then... plan big, be bold, and obey Him.
mack out.
I'm gonna bust a guitar solo right there, if it's cool with you.

God is Great
now playing: God is great. hillsong version. love the song, hate the production.
God's goodness is a mighty powerful thing. Sometimes I'm so dumb as to forget it. and it's when things snap back into place at the end of a phase like that where i realize that I'm really just that dumb. Oh well, it's all good - a good lesson learned every little while is well worth a couple o' smacks upside the head with -- it's big
Word. So, in other news... not much else going on actually. Work and sleep and sleep and work. And the occasional exercise. And ice cream outings today. Anyway, God is good. That's the one thing I know. And it's the only thing worth depending on. lucy: is he a safe lion? mrs. beaver (i think): oh no dear, he's not safe... didn't you hear what i said? he's a lion. but he's good!
lion of judah!

the blog about nothing
now playing: nobody loves me / dwebb | not a sympathy song, a song about speaking the truth, no matter what
Okay, so here's the question... how did those sienfeld punks pull off "the sitcom about nothing"? Cause honestly... when I don't have a topic, I'm just absolutely ridiculous when trying to write. How do you write anything without a topic? It's not even possible. Perhaps they were just random. Like duck burgers. Or flying washing machines. or something. Mmm duck burgers. So I guess I should be kinda depressed, since I haven't had any deep thoughts on my mind of late. pathetic, I know, but such is life. Keep it real folks, and I'll try to do the same.
before the shoe was, andymack is.
