masterlife retreat weekend
overheard at work
“Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
ideas can change a world. ideas take time to think. time to think requires solitude. solitude requires a retreat. hence retreat weekend.

10th annual CEC Harvest Festival
10 years seems like a long time.
In 2003 the first annual CEC harvest festival was born out of a desire to reach and serve the Linda Vista community. 10 years later we are making headway. We’ve come a long ways from just commuting in on Fridays/Sundays and leaving afterwards.
But we can be more.
Who will lead us?
Freddy vs Myers vs Leatherface: Aftermath
pretty sweet to make it on somebody’s phone background =P
Freddy vs Myers vs Leatherface
**DO NOT VIEW IF YOU ARE FAINT OF HEART**
I am not a horror movie fan…at all. Scares the life out of me. The last horror movie I watched was only because I thought “the ring” was a romantic comedy. Coincidentally that was the last time I ever watched a movie without watching the trailer or imdb-ing the premise. Yeah…”the ring” is no romantic comedy….
Tay and I go back to college days and ever since I’ve known him, October is his month of the year and Halloween is his holiday. He really likes his haunted houses and spookfests, if I didn’t know him better I would seriously be wierded out.
When he told me a month ago he had a few costumes he wanted to get some pictures of I thought he was talking about costumes you find at those shops that pop up every season. I had no idea what I was in for. Each costume except for the masks were weathered, singed, and blood stained by hand. The movie quality prop blood was especially freaky.
The shoot ended up being a crash course in horror lore and when it comes to stories like leatherface, it’s just best not to know. So here I am editing these pics late at night and I’m just hoping/praying that Freddy doesn’t visit me in my nightmares.

Alpha Warrior – Ninja Warrior meets main stream fitness
Syl from Active.com posted a link to my wall on my birthday about this event and I got so excited! (thanks again Syl!) Partly because I stubbornly believe I’m heading into the prime years of my life and because ever since I saw Fon’s brother’s american ninja warrior video (here) I’ve wondered what it would be like to do something like it.
Well here we got to demo the course for free today! Before the Alpha Warrior franchise comes back on tour in March they decided to give some people a run and get some feedback about the course. A chance to fail spectacularly and not have to pay? I’m so in!
They said they brought out only 1/3 of their stations with each station providing pretty unique challenges. Alcatraz was by far their behemoth. A 3 tiered structure consisting of mesh tunnel crawls, monkey bars, station jumps, and uneven bars. When I got to the top teir 30+ feet off the ground, the heights and the ever so slight sway got to me. Station jumping was physically easy but mentally taxing. I knew the net meant only a 5-8 foot drop but staring down you could see the entire drop to the floor, the uneven bars weren’t any easier as displayed below.
Could not complete all the obstacles due to a horribly weak wrist and unfortunately had an incident with a sprained shoulder with one of our guys, but all in all…super fun! Back muscles tingling. It was probably a little too easy for some but when they bring out the other 2/3 of the course in March it’ll be a sight to see.
They had a really good camera crew there. Check out the promo for video footage of the actual course (action starts halfway in).
