Upcoming Posts
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve had a lot of topics come up that I want to write about. In order to keep myself on task about cleaning those ideas up, I’m giving this little preview of upcoming topics.
All of these topics will be relating to the general theme of ‘what’s next?’, reflecting the general trends I see in culture and the arts.
The Themes (da-da-da-dum…)
Politics: One of the Big Three taboo subjects that are always talked about, I want to take a look at what we’re learning from the incredibly extended presidential race and some recent state elections as well. This post will end with a segment that ties very closely to my next topic…
Religion: Number two in the taboo category. In a similar vein to politics, I’m going to take a look at some of the general movements that are happening among my peers and in Christian leadership. There are some not-so-surprising-but-still-surprising ideas that are cropping up more and more. Specifically, I want to examine some of the things that relate Christianity to the changing of generations and cultural backlash.
Art: Skipping to something a little less taboo, but no less awkward than the traditional third topic. There are couple things I want to relate that I’ve been learning/identifying for the past few months. Particularly in regard to how the transition from student to professional is taking place. Also, I want to mention a few points of a growing movement that is simmering behind the tatters of postmodernism.
Bringing it all together: This is actually what is prompting the whole themed posting idea. I’ve been seeing some unifying themes between these various subjects lately. There is a lot that I want start to identify where these three things intersect and how they are reflecting a general change in culture and social interactions.
Whew. I think I just jumped in way over my head, but I’m determined to go out kicking.
One final note. None of the ideas I will be expressing are gospel truth to me (well, aside from THE Gospel). I not only welcome comments on all of the above topics, but I want to go ahead and ask for them. You’ll see why in my bit on politics.
Well, here’s hoping I finish these sometime before the Second Coming.

Hey, Low, what’s up? Good seeing you the other night. Yeah, I think those are probably the three most taboo subjects, and if you choose one of them, you’re going to lead an interesting life. Two of them, you’re not right in the head. All three, then God help you.

…choose on of them as a living…I meant to say.

Hey man, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from you here. I’m quite interested to read what you have to write on the above topics.
Heck, there’s no need to wax philosophic, it’d even be nice to read an update on life in NY. Seen any cold weather yet? ;)
