2 New Albums to Pick Up

Here's a couple new albums I've picked up over the last few weeks that you might enjoy. They're both an easy listen; pop-rock, great recordings, great melodies, you'll enjoy. Both albums are in the same genre..to me, that genre is Coldplay-LITE. Coldplay-LITE, because Coldplay is U2-LITE. You see how this goes???

Anyway, check em' out and tell me what you think...

THE FRAY

The Sajak

I don't know why, but I found myself watching an entire episode of Wheel of Fortune tonight in-between dinner and rehearsal. I believe it was because "the Sajak" beckoned me with his siren-like voice and ageless grin and candor.

Seriously, does this guy age?

Here he is (with Vana) in an early season.
Now, here he is in 2009.
This guy has got it figured out my friends! Just look at him. Ageless, charming, dapper as all get out, and you know he makes a pretty penny. Combine all of the with a name like Pat Sajak and its a perfect storm.

A student of his ways,
Ross

Last Night's Address

Hopefully you caught the congressional address last night by President Obama. It was great! Very clear, articulate, and progressive. It was nice to NOT see a ton of Bush bashing and blaming, and for the most part, bi-partisanship seemed relatively healthy.

Top notch speech.

He did an excellent job focusing his plans and the years to come. Many presidents in the past unload their LONG laundry lists; many of which they know will never see the light of day. And last night, President Obama did not do that.

Two big thumbs up from me anyway!!

So, lets talk about the REAL elephant in the room...

What was up with the republican response, done by Bobby Jindal? Jindal is a 37 year old republican governor from Louisiana who is positioning himself for election in 2012. It was like a junior high spoof of some horrible, folksy Mayberry skit.

Good luck dude.

Survey says XXX.

I think you'll lose man.

You might consider saving your money and time.

Seriously, Ron Paul could have done better.

Sharing a Moment

Can I just be real, and vulnerable, and exposed with you all for a minute?

Kate and I moved from Kansas City to St. Louis a little over a year ago, and to be honest, a lot of things have been great. But one thing was really missing…

You see, in Kansas City I had fallen in love with a special place called Genghis Kahn. It’s a succulent Mongolian BBQ place in midtown near KU Med. Center. Wow, words cannot describe what one goes through when at “the GK.” Let’s just say, on a good day, you’ll leave with a massive meat headache. Don’t ask. But it’s the sign that you did something right – very right.

Well, ever since we’ve been in St. Louis, there hasn’t been a single Mongolian BBQ place to emerge its beautiful face. Not a single glimmer of hope. And trust me, I’ve looked.

That was until this past week!
Genghis Grill opened no more than 5 minutes from my church!!! It was delicious and brought tears to my eyes. And yes, the meat headache emerged. Thank you mucho!

In honor and respect of “the GK,” it’s no GK. But it is a true effort at mastering “the GK” delicacy. It’s a respectable pupil of the Mongolian way. And alas, I am well pleased.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

Wax Museum

First of all, wax museums are weird! Whoever thought they were a good idea is nuts. But nonetheless, I saw one on the road the other day and the idea of it grabbed my attention and made me think. And because I regularly jump from tangent to tangent, it made me consider how so much of the time we wear masks to hide our fears, our passions, our truths. And what ends up happening is people having pseudo-relationships, knowing 1/2 truths and lies that they think are complete truths. Its a dark commentary...but it's a commentary.

So that's the back story.

Wax Museum
(c) 2009 Ross Christopher

Verse 1
What if I told you
That she was all a lie
That he was just a creation
Of the mind

Verse 2
What if you saw her
Move just a little
And he moved
Toward her in response

Chorus
Like a wax museum
He lets you see him
But nothing's real
Nothing's real

Verse 3
What would you say
To preserve the lie
To preserve
To never die

Chorus 2
Like a wax museum
She lets you see her
But nothing's real
Nothing's real
