The Royce Files

Segue and I made our way to the 11 o'clock meeting at Woodland Hills Church after an extraordinary night in the club part of Minneapolis. Woodland Hills is one of those massive community reach churches. It's big. It's modern. It's multi-cultural. It's slick. It works hand in hand with other expressions of the body of Christ. It mixes suburban tastes with urban values. This morning we were treated to some R&B gospel flavored music to worship God. The place was jumping. We even saw one of the wedding party from the previous day. Reminded me a bit like the Cincy Vineyard . Preaching duties fall to Greg Boyd. He finished a series on parenting that morn. Mr. Boyd is an incredible speaker. He even show us a picture of himself when he had an afro back in the Sixties. Here's three points that I found important: The wouded wound others That which you despise clings to you Let children inherit your faith To clarify the 3rd point- he meant that our faith should not ...

Found a decent website that has a bit of a nationalistic slant that contains Irish Gaelic lessons, Irish news, and some history. My two bits on the North- The British appear to have built this political state as a pawn between them and the Republic (Eire) Peace will come through forgiveness and not continued anger manifesting.

So if Rick Rickert was behind me and he refused to play miniature golf should I have gave him a round house like K.G? An intriguing story concerning this unheard of event of 2004 featuring K.G. and Rickert.

Hit the Twin Towns this weekend with Mark a.ka. Segue. First we did a gig but once it got done we hit to the streets. It was an ideal night to be out on the streets in Minneapolis. With the Target Center hovering over us we hit Club Three Degrees . Although there were huge crowds at the other clubs in the area, such as The Quest, 3 degrees was very empty. On Main was DJ Smoove spinning some hip-hop. Downstairs Mark and I met DJ Free-T and had a long chat. Later I got to shake DJ Smoove's hand. He was a happening kind of guy- cheery and encouraging. After we cleared out of the 3 degrees we walked around. We noticed an outdoor party at some place that started with Bella. Nearly everyone one there (all behind a fence of course) was wearing white. And we saw Sam Cassell of the Timberwolves. In fact we were roughly 5 feet from him while he was talking to some woman on the other side of the fence. Also at the part was Quincy Lewis, formerly of Gopher's basketball fame. His hair was h...

DJ Wazitz Naim in action in the Saintly City. Could it be heaven? 

It sort of frustrates me why celebrities break it off. Why? Because I am a fiercely loyal guy. (I am also picky I guess because I am not hitched yet.) So when Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise go find new flames it it upsets me. How can they be successful actors when relationships are not successful with the ones to whom they were supposed to be faithful. Maybe what gets my goat is this Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise thing. Perhaps it is my subconscious desire for Katie Holmes. For one I did not want her to get hooked into whatever that system of thought Cruise adheres. She's too sweet to go down that path. Or maybe she just appears too sweet. Don't eat the camel, Katie!

A Pontiac from 1951 appears mysteriously. I drive it to the Boondocks with my friend Mark. It is classy.
