GesuCristo//Haiti 2010

I Hate Church says “thank you” to the people (see end of post) who make this Haiti campaign move. Your support of GesuCristo and our tshirt initiative puts life in a new light, with a whole new cast and crew. It is much more exciting – like drinking Coca Cola for the first time – finding those fizzy bubbles somehow go through your nose and into your brain.  One time in a dark galaxy far, far away, someone approached me and asked me the all encompassing “life” question. He said, “if you could do anything in the world and not be paid, what would it be?” Read the rest of this entry »

I think a great question – posed to me the other day – was when someone asked me “what is grassroots?” They were referring to our GesuCristo T-shirt push, concerning my friends orphanage in St. Marc, Haiti. I paused for a second trying to sort out the best way to answer the question when I finally said, “it’s a small group of people moving toward a goal.”  Our goal is $6,000 USD, we are currently at $1,200.

Many of us including myself always find myself confused when trying to support disaster relief. Unicef, Red Cross, United Nations fund etc and what exactly are they doing. We all see them on the news but somehow there is a disconnect between dollar and worker. How do I know which one to support? If you prefer a more grassroots approach then please carry on reading.

[This is a continuation of my previous post concerning the documentary produced by Levi's titled "Go Forth"]

Inasmuch as we strive to do something special with each breathe we take, this desire seemingly vaporizes before we know what happened.  The desires buried in our cold, confused hearts sneak up periodically, in an attempt to taste this enigma called, reality.  As it crawls out of its hole inch by inch, it is again mercilessly bashed by this world it craves.  The life and oxygen it must have is –  ironically – beating the living (expletive) out of it.  Your life sucks or is not what it’s cracked up to be… now what?  Read the rest of this entry »

I HATE Church reviews.  Levi’s recently filmed an incredible documentary titled, “Go Forth.”  Many of us may have seen snippets in recent commercials, depicting young hippie-esque trailblazers roaming America.  This campaign by Levi’s is the most progressive I have seen to date.  They have completely changed their focus from selling jeans to empowering young people to go and do something.  I watched this piece at least 7 times so far, and each time I rewind my own life and think, what the &*&* am I doing?
