From the Mind of MandoRon

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a Share-it Saturday.  I thought it might be time to do it again.

So, here’s a few fun things for you:

• Kung Fu Cow, Watch Out for the Milk courtesy of the fine people over at the Deadly Viper blog.  Yes, it’s really a video of a kung-fu fight between man and cow.
• Tyler Braun has interesting vision of the church in 20 years.  Check out his Church Manifesto.
• What do you get when you cross Hillsong with Ozzy Osbourne? Well according to Russ Hutto, you get this.
• Loswhit blogged about The Great Hot Office Assistant Debate this week.  Interesting discussion in the comments, but I’ll warn you that I ended up in a fight with my wife when I brought the subject up.
• Download Ignorance byParamore for free.

That’s probably enough for now.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

• Forgive me, it’s been nearly six months since my last Share-it Saturday.  But I’ve come across several cool and interesting things lately, and I figure it’s time to dust the format off.

So here goes!

• My good friend Buck thinks I look like this professional bowler…  This guy has an uncanny resemblance to Mike Snow.
• Thousand Foot Krutch is offering a free download of their new song “Bring Me to Life”. It’s one of the hardest songs they’ve done in a while. You can get it at WelcometotheMasquerade.com or FeedtheBeat.com. (Thanks to Matt at TheFreeChristianMusicBlog.com for pointing this out.)
• MercyMe covers “Dead or Alive” in the Cover Tune Grab Bag.  There’s a lot of guitars, and I really like John Reuben’s little TobyMac interlude.
• Very cool stop-motion video called The Wolf and the Pig.  I came across this over at Collide Magazine.
• MuteMath released the video for “Spotlight”.  It’s well worth watching.
• Incredible group of kids rocking a little Journey.

I think that will do for now.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Other than having to go in to work at 5:00 a.m., it’s been a pretty good day.  I got off work early and got to see Jada play soccer.  Then I got to watch the Cowboys demolish Iowa State.  I almost felt sorry for them…

As you may have noticed, there haven’t been many posts lately, save for some friends who provided some great guest content.  I’ve really been struggling, not just to come up with good content, but to be interested.  I’ve also got 500+ unread posts in my Bloglines reader.

There was a season when I needed to blog.  It appears that season may be over…

So, I’ve decided to take a two week sabbatical from blogging.  We’ll see what happens.  Either I’ll be back, or The Mind of MandoRon will have to wait for the next season…

This Share-it Saturday post has the fewest links ever.  Only one.  But it’s pretty cool.  If you like it, check out some of his other youtube videos.

Hasta La Vista!

Today’s Link Love…

• What do you get when you combine a flute, beatboxing, and an old cartoon?  Well, this.  Beatboxing, flute player performing a remix of the Inspector Gadget theme song, with a little Axel F thrown in for fun.

It’s halftime of the OSU - Texas game, so I thought it would be a good time to post today’s Share-it Saturday links.

• Rock Band 2 to add Kutless and Underoath songs.
• Take the 2008 Reader’s Choice survey from Christian Music Today.
• Great post on Perfection vs. Excellence in the church.
• Halloween treats that kids won’t eat.  I can’t say that I agreed with the list…
• Free download of Feel Good Drag by Anberlin.  Awesome song!

Tune in tomorrow for the last in the series of guest posts.

This week’s list of links is short, but sweet.

• Banjo used in brain surgery.
• What if music videos had literal lyrics…  Funny stuff.
• The video for I’m Good, I’m Gone by Lykke Li is a free download on itunes through Monday, or you can watch it on youtube.  Cool video, decent song.
• Let there be Drums… a plea from a local music store employee for parents to let their kids learn to play drums.  I agree with Joe that there is a shortage of drummers.
