It’s been a challenging week for me from a creative standpoint.

I’ve got a deadline for a magazine piece due today that I’ve been trying to work on, but I came down with a nasty cold on Tuesday that I’m only now starting to shake. Plus I’ve been trying to keep up with the blog and keep things moving with the Fresh Squeezed Podcast. Not complaining, just…um…venting. Yeah, venting.

Anyway, I need to finish up this magazine piece (I’ll tell you about it once it’s officially accepted), so here’s some quick headlines for your Friday reading pleasure.

The Sports/Faith PhotoChops

Prayers for Blowouts was a blog focusing on the frequent collisions of sports and faith that I created and wrote for during much of 2007 and 2008.

I started that blog to support the book I was writing by the same name, but I’ve since dropped both endeavors to focus more on writing humor pieces here at my personal blog, because it’s what I love to do the mostest.

I had to laugh this morning when I came across a few pictures I had doctored for PFB a few years ago. They were for a feature I ran called “PhotoChop” where I combined the pictures of a famous sports person with a famous Christian person.

The result was some FRIGHTENING looking people.

Before you check the comments for the answers, see if you can guess which two people make up each of these Photochops.

Can’t believe I let 2 months tick off the calendar before sharing my pictures from Intercourse Heritage Days.

If you’re new to these parts, I live in Intercourse, PA and every June there’s a huge celebration at the park near our house filled with lots of food and lots of Amish folk. It’s called Intercourse Heritage Days, and it’s a hoot.

Here’s some visuals from this year’s event.

Mad Mondays: The Speed Up

10 Comments Posted on Mon, Aug 23rd, 2010 - 07:35 am by Bryan Allain

Sometimes on Mondays I peel back my gelled hair and give you a peek into the insanity that is my brain.

We call these Mad Mondays because I might be crazy and yesterday was Sunday.

The Speed-Up

Sometimes at work if there’s someone about 10-20 feet behind me in the hallway, I will turn a corner and speed up very fast for about 8 seconds while i am out of that person’s view.
