Crashing Waves

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Without ceasing the waves come crashing in, threatening to take the life out of the beach.

It’s been two years since I moved to New York. Two amazing years. I know, I don’t believe it either – it’s also hard to believe what’s happened.

Yet, somehow – someway the beach is renewed and continues to thrive.

It’s been a fun ride – I can’t wait to see what the next two years bring…

Though the shape of the beach consistently changes, the beach maintains its beauty and fullness; continually adapting to the changing current of the world.

Somebody’s trying to tell me something…

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I’ve always believed that God has a very funny sense of humor.

if you use Gmail (best online email app by the way) you know that they ‘sometimes’ place contextualized ads or blog feeds in and around your email.

Anyway, I was reading some email from a friend tonight and all of a sudden I see an ad from the Discovery Channel that says: “More Negativity Found In Space”.

Let’s just say that the past few weeks have been less than pleasant and seeing this when I saw it, it struck my funny bone, as well as my heart. It reminded me of a saying that I heard at a small group leaders meeting a few months back:

Negativity is not a spiritual gift.

I wonder if someone was trying to tell me something?

What is your moon?

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Why you should be on Facebook rather than MySpace.

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Almost a year ago I, Tim Bogus, entered the foray of social networking called MySpace. It was great for awhile, but eventually it became monotonous with the dozens of daily bulletins, the ugly layout, and the multiple erotic friend requests each week.

Recently, I joined FaceBook and I can’t believe what a strong contrast there is between the two services. Where MySpace mainly caters to the 1st generation of social networking and ‘immature design ca. early 2000), FaceBook provides a hip, modern way to connect with friends, colleagues, and those people who you didn’t remember you knew.

With a modular interface allowing you to change the look and feel of your profile and the extensibility of their ‘applications’, FaceBook provides the necessary tools for you to create the look you desire while still connecting with different level of friends.

FaceBook allows you to view, in a stream-lined interface, the goings on of your friends, etc while still keeping your profile just the way you want it.

But, you say, FaceBook is just for college students – that is no longer true. FaceBook allows you to choose a ‘network’ based on college, region, or job.

So, if you’re looking for a fresh alternative to MySpace, check out FaceBook. FaceBook is what MySpace is for today’s era of professional and personal social networking.

P.S. look me up, once you’re on FaceBook using my email: tim.bogus[at]gmail.com (replace with ‘at’ symbol.

______ is as diverse as it’s people

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

New York City. ~ 300 sq miles of cityscape and urbanism. 8 million+ people.

This can make for some unique personalities. Brittany (a good friend from Indiana) and I ran into one of these unique personalities yesterday in Central Park.

His name was Darrell and as Brittany and I were sitting he asked me if he could read us some of his poems. After a few poems and a couple of funny moments we parted ways, but this got me thinking:

How many unique and interesting people are there around us that we just totally ignore because we’re caught up in our own ‘bubbles’?

Probably a lot – actually I can think of several people I now know very well and remember and I remember that they were just ‘a face in the crowd’.

I was glad I spent yesterday just ‘free-living’ instead of trying to plan every minute detail of the day and being focused on getting onto the next task/activity. Though, I am a ‘Work in Progress’.

Temporary Look and Feel

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

Hey y’all. just so you know this is not the new look and expanded content that we’ve been promising the past couple of months.

The recent server crash has forced us to the default WordPress template – I hope to start implementing some new changes to Bogopolis.com soon.

Stay tuned.
