SWAG (6/7/12) – Shannon writes and performs a song about his own personal style (and perhaps a tribute to his favorite musical artist?)
I believe the word you're searching for is "oxymoron."
And we promise, a video is coming soon, in true Oddwalk styl- er, swag, I guess…
Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for me to select my top Oddblog posts for each month of 2010. In a few of the months, it was difficult to pick just one, so I didn’t. Feel free to praise me, disagree, or offer your own list. Happy reading!!
JANUARY
While we didn’t blog much in January, this post about how my wife was vowing to update the “Cerneka Family Adventures” blog on more of a regular basis DID produce a funny picture of two of our kids, Madeleine and Noah.

FEBRUARY
Summoning a bit of inexplicable post-Olympic Canadian pride, this post finds us offering our rendition of “Oh, Canada!”, the national anthem for our friends to the north

MARCH
During the 2009 National Catholic Youth Conference, which had taken place four months before, Oddwalk had a number of cool liturgical and performance opportunities. The following posts are from two of those moments. “These Are the Chords…” is from when we played a warm-up concert for a Concurrent Session which featured Fr. Tony Ricard. “Bless the Lord, My Soul” is from one of the two daily Masses we played for.

APRIL
So…there was only one post in April. Sadly, it was a post about how we hadn’t posted in a while. Enjoy!!

MAY
During this month, the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows (where Orin works) sponsored a retreat led by well-known speaker and author, Joyce Rupp. The following video was shown during that retreat.

JUNE
In June, the Cernekas headed to the Smokey Mountains for a family vacation. We’re not sure what prompted Noah in this moment. Was it the Holy Spirit? Boredom? Cabin (literally) fever? You decide!

JULY
Each year, during the last week of June, The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows sponsors a Christian music/theater camp called Youth Sing Praise. While I have helped with it in the past, Orin and his wife Erin get to help ever year. Here is a song from last year’s production of “Moses”.

AUGUST
Picking this month’s post was kind of difficult. On one hand, if I’m thinking with the Oddwalk part of my brain, I would have to choose the release of “Failure”, our collection of NCYC theme song entries which were not selected. If I’m thinking with the personal side of my brain, I would no doubt choose the post about Madeleine’s first day of Kindergarten. I decided to include both posts here. I’m sure I will get in trouble for this.

SEPTEMBER
Chris Weber is an Iowa-based friend of Oddwalk and recent winner of a bet with Shannon concerning the outcome of the Insight Bowl. (Shannon and his Mizzou tigers lost). Chris alerted his twitter followers to this pic, suggesting that it demanded a caption contest. We decided to oblige him.

OCTOBER
This month gave us a great example of what love and sacrifice are all about. The man featured in this story is a former neighbor of Orin and Erin.

NOVEMBER
Two of Oddwalk’s performances in November were featured in news articles. The first comes from our appearance at the Junior High Youth Rally for the Charleston Diocese in South Carolina. The second comes from a concert we did at Holy Childhood Catholic Church in Mascoutah, IL.

DECEMBER
This month found us in New Orleans, LA for the National Conference on Catholic Youth Ministry. While there was some amount of work involved, this was mostly a chance to catch up with friends and take advantage of some cool performance opportunities. The following posts feature Orin and I (and my family in one video) dancing, being hams, and playing music.

Jammin’ Redux (8/18/10) – “Jammin’ With Jesus” as you’ve never heard it before!
To whomever sent the note (without return contact info) that one song on the new pOddcast page wasn’t playing, we’ve fixed the simple typo–thanks for the heads up!
What an outstanding hockey match this afternoon, and an outstanding win by Canada. Great team, great gold medal count, and a great Olympic games.
Having at last lost a wager with Clay Imoo that wasn’t ultimately negated, we follow through with our end of the deal. Here’s part one, a serious rendition of Canada’s national anthem – they do, after all, deserve it!
Oh Canada (2/28/10) – In Honor of Clay, Canada, and our losing Olympic hockey wagers…
Stay tuned, for as soon as we can, we’ll post a video of us at an event, ending every non-stage-time sentence with “eh?”
Well, since the closing up shop over at gcast, it’s been an annoying couple days – BUT! The new pOddcast (2.0) is up and running, and you can find it in at least three ways:
1) Our new pOddcast page here at the main site: http://oddwalkministries.com/oddblog/?page_id=5332
2) At iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=355739050
3) In any RSS reader: http://oddwalkministries.com/oddblog/?feed=pc2
All the old stuff from the first pOddcast has been transferred over, so you can subscribe to the new one, and unsubscribe the old. Enjoy!
Fill Us, O God (2/10/10) – A new Lenten song from Orin and Shannon
These posts and the ones like it sprinkled about the Oddblog are due to moving the pOddcast to a local feed.
Well, shame on gcast – they’ve shut down the uploading of new audio, and hence our pOddcast, at least in that iteration. Bah.
But – we’ve already got a new pOddcast set up, right here through WordPress! We’ve posted the player to the bottom of this post too (probably won’t show up when this gets ported over to facebook and such though).
Here’s the direct link to the new pOddcast page on the main site.
Your iTunes subscription, if you had one, is now dead, but we should get a new one sometime soon, we’ll update you all when that happens, hopefully.
For now, here’s that player we promised, and a pretty rough version of our new Lenten song, “Fill Us, O God” – enjoy!
Fill Us, O God (2/10/10) – A new Lenten song from Shannon and Orin
Is there one certain song at Christmastime, that if you never heard it again it would be too soon? Well for us and some of our friends and acquaintances, it’s a song about a young boy trying to buy his dying mom some shoes on Christmas Eve. You know the one.
Well, our gift to you this holiday season is a skewering of that song, Oddwalk style. Not only that, but you can get the mp3 and the iPod/iPhone video free below! Or, just enjoy it on YouTube (below) or on our pOddcast, your call.
Hope you enjoy, and remember it’s all in (mostly) good fun! As our friend Donna mentioned, it really gets at the true meaning of the season: manipulation. Merry Christmas, everyone!
