in 52 Workout Songs To Help You Get Bigger, Stronger, and Faster on Art of Manliness
while many of these would not have ended up on my list, i must say i'm impressed with the variety. only one made me let out an audible groan for its mistakenly ending up on this list... "islands in the sun" by weezer... really? of all the weezer songs to be on this list, i would not have chosen this one. even "hash pipe" off of the same album would have been better. "buddy holly", "my name is jonas", and even "say it ain't so" would have been much better choices.

fun list. should be fun to see the rest of the feedback.

in The Case for Communal Living on the Jesus Manifesto
so let's say a person was considering finding a place and turning that into a community house... do you have any recommended readings for that person and those that would move into that house? any pieces of advice for those moving in? what are some resources for people that are considering taking this lifestyle on?

hi, i'm "tom" from the story. allow me to clarify a couple of points that i think may help...
1. "liz" and i have already had dedication ceremonies in our own home churches.
2. "liz" feels it is still necessary to have the baptism in order to reduce/avoid friction with her family. this is complicated by her financial situation which may cause her to rely heavily on her family for help (i am helping out as much as i can).

if i were to clarify what kind of advice i am looking for it would be of the following nature(s)...
1. to what extent do i involve myself in the matter? i have made it clear to "liz" that i am not in favor, do i take it further?
2. to waht extent do i involve myself in the ceremony itself? do i attend? do i attend without participation? do i participate fully?

i am struggling with this. i do not know at what point i put my own convictions aside. i'm not as much concerned that baptism will taint "lucy's" life. i am more concerned about making vows or declarations before God that i do not intend to uphold. any thoughts are helpful...

"or i can get invited to baby showers.".... and then quickly decline any such invitations.... haha.

i agree with you, as a typically pro-myspace guy, i am steadily shifting my loyalty towards facebook as it seems to be more functional and less meat market. myspace is kinda whorish now and have been going back and forth on getting rid of it for sometime.

have you checked out shoutlife.com at all? it's the "christian" community website. just curious as to what your thoughts on it are.
