Letters From Home Vol. I: Daybreak Will Arise
Below is a letter written to Tanner Smith during his service to our country in the blazing hot, inhospitable, godforsaken wasteland known as Kandahar, Afghanistan.
"I've got another confession to make...
That song is horrible. for real.
The confession though is that Zach, Matt, Audrey and I made this care package a super long time ago and I've been procrastinating on sending it for like 2 months now.
Now I'm writing this on Tuesday, October 13th determined to get this onitsuka tiger shoebox safely to your living quarters in Afghanistan relatively soon. Or at least before you leave to come back to my loving embrace. How softly will we embrace on that fateful day. I count the ways it will be so soft. I can not reach an end to the counting.
Let us retire, you and I, and waste the days with amorous whisperings in our love bed. Hahaha.. You always were so silly.
Daybreak will arise in the sea the waves in the aerth, corresponding crest by crest with the pangs of my desire for your steely action chest.
We will watch the Gilmore Girls episodes we always loved and think about that one time... (who knew it could happen with pants on? hahahahaha!!! I totally knew.)
Only when you get old and your face totally starts to look like a giant ballsack - you know, not like a normal white dude's balls but like... Michael Clark Duncan balls - Will I look back and question, "Was it worth it?", and also, "Why does your face look like a black dude's balls?" Normal people's faces don't look like balls Tanner.

A review of the film: Ninja Assassin
When reviewing an adrenaline fueled, high-octane flick such as ninja assassin, it is often times difficult to find a place to start. Through very little reasoning, because that is what I assume the movie would want me to do, I have decided to present a summary of the film to kick things off.
As you may see, Ninja Assassin is not your typical popcorn fare. It is chock-full of many believable emotions such as crying and doing laundry. This is why I give it a rating of:
(Three Dismembered Ninja Heads)

Original
Psalm 1
Hebrew
א אַשְׁרֵי הָאִישׁ-- אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ, בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים;
וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים, לֹא עָמָד, וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים, לֹא יָשָׁב.
English Translations:
Psalm 1
King James
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Psalm 1
NIV
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
Psalm 1
English Standard Version
1Blessed is the mana]">[a]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
Psalm 1
The Message
1How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road,
you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
What the KJV, NIV, and the ESV all missed, was the obvious reference by the writer of Psalm 1 to Sin's Saloon.
Now There is scholarly debate regarding the phrase "עצה של רשעים ". Abisha Elazar Kosherini would say it is "Sin's saloon". While the late Sakeri Akub Molatozzlefozzle would say the Hebrew is better translated "Sin City Saloon".
Either way The message translation was the only one to get somewhat close to the original Hebrew.
Thank you Eugene H. Peterson.
