Blog : Brett Fish

Saturday Round Up: The week that was: Episode 9: Feet street painting, Kevin bacon bacon, uncontexted tweets and egg bum chicken.

from this last week on The Daily Mash [and Peace!] blog i'd have to say Thursday's John Piper tweet piece would be one to look at - Friday's 'Get your fax straight' i published on this blog as well under a different title, and if you haven't watched Wednesday's Improv TED talk then that is very much worth it, as was Tuesday's piece about the inspirational feet-paint-tree-creation-on-road-in-Hong-Kong bit... so i'd start with those and catch [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (in the background)

Another photo challenge and this idea i really like - the thing that is not the thing - or the question of focus - is the thing in the foreground of the picture 'the thing' or are we meant to be keeping an eye on what is in the background? is it "both...and?" So many options and so i had to use three different pics which i feel increase in terms of degree or extent [...]

psalmthing to chew on: psalm 56

what an incredible psalm. we know it was 'To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks” which makes me wonder what type of genre song that was? is this David at his hip hop best? the title does have more of a country feel to it, or maybe a rock ballad? who knows, but it makes for interesting speculation. we also know this psalm is from 'when the Philistines seized him in Gath' so [...]

A tornado, a free computer and a whole host of dead celebrities…

Earlier this week a tornado swept through Oklahama, killing a number of people and leaving a mass of devastation in its wake. Within a couple of hours of the disaster, well-known speaker and author John Piper tweeted this verse: “Your sons and daughters were eating and a great wind struck the house, and it fell upon them, and they are dead.” Job 1:19 There was a huge uproar about it. How could this public figure [...]

Parking, and Re-creation.

his name is Mark. youngish guy, i'd say mid twenties and kinda looked a little bit like Mark Brendanawicz. but i don't think it was him. [i mean it could have been him cos Mark has been out of the show for a season or two although i don't think his name is actually 'Mark' in real life so he might have used that name. it's not, Uncle Google says it's 'Paul Schneider'] but he [...]

where my trust is without borders

tbV and i have not really been in regular consistent church services for the last two years now and so it's been really refreshing to find one called Re:Generation that we both enjoy and love going to. in particular being a part of corporate worship has been so refreshing and since we haven't been around for a little while there are a bunch of new songs to discover which is great. one song in paricular [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (escape)

another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]

how to be a man by Rudyard Kipling

well, actually, this pome is titled 'If' but po-tay-to, po-tah-to... my wife linked to this the other day and i remembered what a powerful read it was... hope you enjoy [especially if this is your first time... and it works for women too by the way!] 'If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But [...]
