whoa

I just saw that i have put nothing recently so i am sure no one reads this. how pathetic. truth is, i have been spending lots of time on facebook and the amped blog and i just figured out twitter. follow me

how now brown cow?

I have no idea what that title means, just thought I'd put something different.

Check out this site, I got a chuckle out of it. I know a few Jr High students that need some of its knowledge.

southern chicken

So, I wanted to blog about how bad the McDonald's so called Southern Style Chicken sandwich is. I mean come on, this is only their way of trying to duplicate the success of Chick-Fil-A's chicken sandwich. Anyway, I bought one recently, only to be disappointed. I thought there might be something to it after Kam told me that they are really good. I shoulda known. They are not.

So I was gonna find McDonald's site on the sandwich that is the attempt at over throwing Chick-fil-a, and found that McDonald's has a site called www.i-am-asian.com. How weird. Look at this.

I love this

this is my new fav commercial. The guy in the blue plaid shirt on the end cracks me up when he goes, "awesome new phoooooooone!"

up to date

I don't feel like my life is up to date lately. I feel like I am always a little behind; even when I'm planning. I mean, it's not like I have a lot of time on my hands. I got all kinds of envelopes on my desk at home, I need to cut the grass, I always need to study for the next series, it all never ends. But then again, it really never does, does it? Thank goodness. We never really want it to end. Think about it. How boring would it be if it did end? Everything just stopped? No new movies or TV shows, nothing to do at work, just the same thing everyday. Nothing new to eat, just the same routine all the time. No new friends. Kinda reminds me of the movie Legacy.

So, my birthday is coming up this Friday and I am taking the day off. I'm also taking Sunday off, which means I have a four day weekend. Yay for me! Maybe I'll get something done. Maybe not...

chat

How long has it been since you had a chat with God? I mean a real conversation? Maybe it was this morning for you. I'm finding that getting distracted is easier than ever.

Let me show you something I thought of recently, not because I see or think that other people around me are getting it wrong, but because it was a challenge issued to be by the Father.

I don't get too busy that I forget to do my job. Know why? Because people are counting on me to be there, and they are counting on me to get things done. Hundreds of people need me to go to work. I even go because I get rewarded to do it every 1st and 15th of the month. I also get rewarded by the satisfaction it gives me when I see people affected for the better because of the work I do.

Am I ringing your doorbell yet?

Help me not neglect my time with the Father. Next time you see me, ask me if I've prayed for you recently.

Music Industry

I recently read an article that said the music industry was in trouble. What?! Oh no! You mean they won't all make tons and tons of money now?! I'm sorry (not really), but when you see how extravagant the people in the industry live and all the trouble they get into, they hardly seem like they are in any kind of financial trouble. Am I alone in this thinking? Let's put an end to the nonsense. I mean, they don't even have to have talent to make gobs of money. Just look at Britney Spears. No talent what so ever except that someone showed her how to shake her rear end and now all the idiot guys go crazy for her. Wait, maybe I should have said she went crazy. They's all crazy!

Anyhoo, I hardly beleive they are in trouble. My thoughts: If you get to do what you love and are passionate about for your job, and get paid a decent wage, you don't have to work another day in your life.

Radar

I can't justify buying a radar detector. But why would i need one? To help in getting away with what I shouldn't be doing anyway?

A few months ago, I got a speeding ticket. I was on my way home from AMPED and I was speeding. I wasn't in a hurry and I wasn't consciously trying to go fast; I just was not paying attention. And that's what I told the Police Officer. Since it was late, there was no traffic and the road was six lanes wide. Nevertheless, it was against the law, so I got a ticket.

I chose the probationary thing where I can't get another ticket in the next 90 days. You'd better believe I am watching my speed these days.

Sometimes I think we want a radar detector in life. We want to skate by, doing whatever we want. But we want to also know when God (or another christian) is watching so we can do the right thing. Many times we think no one is watching and so we can get by with breaking the rules. Silly us.

Or do you ever do this when driving; go about 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit, because surely they won't give you a ticket for 5 over, but you are still technically getting away with speeding. How many times do we push the limit because its not really that bad. It's okay, I'm not legalistic so that does not apply to me. Being a christian is all about freedom, right?

I'm not trying to make you feel bad about your driving, after all, I'm the one with the ticket! But what I am attempting is to get you to pay attention to how you live, no matter how good or bad. Make sure in all things you are doing the right thing.

shout out

I just wanna thank Chris and Terri for coming out this last weekend. God always amazes me with great people. We had a great weekend in AMPED and Chris did a great job speaking. He is one of those friends that hasn't changed a bit and is very easy to reconnect with. I hope they will be lifelong friends. Amazing that we still see eye to eye on most things, even though it has been nearly 12 years since we have seen each other. Holy cow I'm old, and showing it!

But this weekend has been a great reminder that I absolutely love what I do and the only time I consider it "work", is when I am away from my girls for very long. The busy-ness and little stressful parts are really nothing and is all worth it when I see the results of the whole family result.
