Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Jordan's $1.5 billion Star Trek theme park set to go boldly ahead
I guess I’ll be going to Jordan in two years…
Possible ride names:
- “First Contact, the Petting Zoo”
- Miniature ponies, baby goats and the occasional baby borg.
- “Q’s Philosophical Quiz Bowl for Kids (and Parents)”
- Hands down the most confusing/difficult theme park feature. There will be crying and a general questioning of one’s existence.
- “Hall of Former Captains of the USS Enterprise”
- Animatronics technology recreate Tiberius, Kirk, Picard and (technically) Riker, as each revels us with stories, show quotes and robot dance moves.
- “Khan’s Mountain”
- At some point on this ride, everyone gets to scream, “KhAAAAAAAAAn!”
- “The Holodeck Refreshment Center”
- All orders will simply be spoken into a microwave looking device, where employees will make things “materialize” with a lazy susan and a sliding panel. And everything’s on the house. They don’t use money in the future.
- … and, of course, a Kobayashi Maru Simulator… just so everyone can leave the park knowing they are in no way near half the man of James Tiberius Kirk.
It’s on like donkey kong

But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

I Resolve to Work, Read, Write, Make and Stop.
I’ve never made a list of resolutions for the New Year before, but something inspired me a couple of weeks ago. My friend Herbie told me about his commitment to start writing more music and something inside of me just clicked. So here we go.
Here’s my list of resolutions for 2012. Each complete with personal pep talk:
-
1. Work Out More
(Pep: “Jon, you’ve gained ten pounds and gotten way weaker since college. You can change that by running at least 5 miles a week and balling at least once a week. Trim off those ‘fatherly’ pounds.”)
-
2. Read the Entire Bible
(Pep: “You’re about 45 days into a 90-day reading plan. Even if you just read 1 chapter a day for the next year, you’ll finish. So finish it already. Commit and follow through.”)
-
3. Write More Music
(Pep: The last song you wrote was over a year ago. And it wasn’t even that good. The only way you’ll get better at writing music is by writing more music. Simple as that. Write one song a week. And post each new song to your bandcamp site for accountability. Don’t be afraid. Just be consistent.”)
-
4. Make Our Home a House of Prayer
(Pep: “You and Joan have been saying this for the past two years. This is your year to finally launch this idea. Host two prayer meetings in your home each week. One for just your family, and one for anybody who loves Jesus. Even if nobody else comes to the second one, you’re still doing it. Before ASU, Phoenix and Arizona… make YOUR home a house of prayer.”)
-
5. Stop Wasting Time
(Pep: “The only way you’re going to accomplish these things is by making time to follow through. So turn off the TV, silence your phone, close the computer and pull out the pen and paper. And get to work. Commit. Focus. Follow through. I know you can do it.”

This post is mainly for me. But I’m still interested in what my readers are thinking. Do you have any new year resolutions? If so, what are they? If you’ve made resolutions in the past, what were your biggest road blocks to success?
