My Barbarian

When I was in Jordan, I had a really horrible day where I dragged myself through the morning and slept the afternoon and and evening away. When I woke up at eleven, I went to Poppies Chiken down the street for some traditional American Food. But once that was over with, I found myself in front of the TV watching the BBC. But much to my suprise, there was a fantastic documentary about Contemporary Art. They Featured Four artists in the Los Angeles area, but they counted one of the "artists" as a perfoming art/pop band called "My Barbarian"

Pretty much what happened was that these three really creative people got together and decided to mix Pagen rituals, mythology, and New Wave music into a cocktail of Conceptual porportions. Their performances are incredibly unorthodox as they perform Pagan rituals on stage and wear masks and hold up snaks and stuff, all while playing 80's pop music.

I love it!

Here is by far their best video which seems to have been filmed with a camcorder, but edited very well. Make sure you watch the entire video as the best part in my oppinion is the last minute of the video when the three "Barbarians" brake into a Richard Simons style workout.

College

So it's finaly happened, I am now a college student! This still seems quite strange to me because I should be a seinor in High School but what ever the devil! I'm finding that College is more stressful, but it's not. I know that dosen't make any sense, but it does to me. Teachers can say do what ever they want, and you can pretty much do what you yourself want.

I've been back from Jordan for almost two weeks, but it's seems like less because I spent a mounth in the middle of no-where Colorado with my family which was nice. The thing that really got me though was that even though we were kind of in the middle of no where (Silverton, Colorado), there were a lot of tourists who would take an old fashioned steam locomotaive train ride to this town and walk around with their big cameras, large waists, and their tourist looking clothes. I hate tourists I decided because they ruin everything about travel.

Everything from my trip to Jordan has kind of made me see the world in a new way. For example I was at Borders yesterday and saw a book about Iran's Nuclear capability. I picked it up and started reading it, and when I came to the part where they started bashing Muslims saying, "even though they say they worship the God of Abraham, they worship some pagan moon God, and this is why they don't belive in our Lord savior Jesus Christ which means they don't have God at all!". I was really pissed off and looked at the back of the book and see as I had expected that the book was the makings of some evengelical minister.

I invite who ever you are that's reading this blog to read the conculsion to my 'Bruce in Jordan' blog at bruce-in-jordan.blogspot.com.
