Then/Than and Other Helpful Tips.

Hey friends,

I just needed to get this out... Hopefully you'll read this, and hopefully it will help you be a better writer of the language you use every day.

Then/Than
Then refers to a point in time.
"Michael will bring his camping gear. Then we will leave for the woods."

Than is used in a comparison.
"I would rather Jake be hit in the head than me."


They're/Their/There
They're is a contraction of "they are."
"They're going to see Mark and Lorna tonight at the Red Fox Lounge."

There refers to places.
"Casey, go cut the head off that dead cow over there."

Their refers to a group of people.
"Their trips to Old Germany are now over."


More updates to come as necessary.

Communal and Sustainable Living - Orlando

Hey friends,

For the past few months, I've been thinking a lot about Urban Gardening. It's an amazing picture of resurrection, sustainability and interdependence and has huge community and social implications. Out of this new found passion have come lots of other thoughts about some things that are as ancient as humanity. We've moved away from lots of those things, but I'm starting to feel that there are deep roots in our being that are calling us back to that way of living. I have created a forum for conversation on facebook. Even if words like Communal living, Sustainability, Voluntary Redistribution and Inter-dependence are new to your vocabulary, come and discuss.



Come and commune.

in the past 7 days

3 people came out of nowhere and spent hours making estimations on my worth. They placed a really high value on me.
1 guy emailed me to tell me that I wouldn't realize my full potential until I moved somewhere other than where I am now.
5 people came down from Atlanta.
1 person came down from Nashville.
300 people sent emails.
23 people came to a fake 21st birthday party.
2 people got in a cold pool.
4 people stood in the rain.
2 people talked on the phone for 1 hour and 47 minutes.
2 people carried a couch, a bed and a bunch of gear.
160 people sang along.
9 people had a meeting.

chances are that some people were counted twice, but still, that's a lot of people with a lot to say.
