Harlow and Magician

On the Odyssey Way, Original Joe posted a pic of Harlow Doyle P.I., the first done by Gary Locke. It first appeared in Clubhouse magazine. To see the picture, you can visit Odyssey Way. While I'm talking about it. On Odyssey Way, not only can you find Odyssey news, but there are also interestingly creative pictures there as well. Like Brock the CIA agent and...well you'll see what I'm talking about when you go there.

Odyssey Connection: On Thursdays, I help at a thing called Kids Club. Basically it's a thing for kids where they learn things about the bible. Kinda like VBS (vacation bible school), but only once a week and during the school year. Today was the last session Until May, so we had a special guest, a magician. It was pretty interesting. When I first heard that there was a magician coming I almost automatically thought of  Solly Mendelson and Irving Greenfarb.They were great magicians. This guy was pretty good too. Part of the fun (when you're not a kid) is trying to figure out how it was done. Also related to this topic, I received an amazing clip through an email of a magic performance that was done on America's got talent . It is really amazing. You can watch it on youtube here. Be warned. It is weird, odd, cool, awesome, maybe not for the weak hearted, and maybe a little disturbing....but in an awesomely cool way, if that makes sense..(It will make more sense if you watch)This really puzzles me...but I guess that's the purpose of illusions.

I suppose that's all for now. This is Freddy Jay saying, "I just can't get over how that was done....."

2 Days

Only two more days till the first part of the Inspiration Station airs. I know I've mentioned this blog before, but I think I forgot to mention an awesome page that it has. He has a page that has 24 (at the moment) facts about the new album. He's been adding a new fact each day. You can check it out by clicking here.
Unfortunately I won't be here this weekend, so I  won't be able to hear it till Sunday...Which means I will be the last one to hear it, and I won't be able to post my thoughts on it until then.

Tomorrow is when they will finally reveal who won the scoop contest, and we'll be able to see everyone's entries. My entry is viewable on my "about me" page.

Odyssey connection: We watched this clip a while back in Sociology.






This clip is really powerful. It really shows how much kids see, and how they are somewhat likely to copy what they see. This made me think of how true this is. "In It Started With A Rabbit's Foot", Connie learns a similar lesson. Whit tells Lucy about  the story behind the Bible Room. Part of the story includes Connie reading horoscopes to some of the kids. (This is before Connie is a christian.) Whit explains that what we do, and say effects others more than we may realize..This connection is similar with a previous post. But I liked this clip so much that I had to share it.

That's all for now, this is Freddy Jay saying "Maybe I'll find some way to listen to The Inspiration Station before I get back....hmmm."
