The Price is Right is a pretty amazing show. This video is a little long - but worth it. As immature as it may seem… the first 5 seconds of the video cracks me up beyond belief. This guy has to be either the biggest moron on the planet or he has never watched the show. Enjoy.
I am so excited about March 10, 2008. Besides the fact that it is Chuck Norris’ birthday - March 10 has been deemed ‘The International Day of Awesomeness.’
Get excited because I plan on celebrating with some feats of awesomeness.
I wanted to have something a little different for lunch today. So I stopped by the grocery store (yes - the grocery store) and picked up some sushi. First off - let me give a big shout out to Bloom. Bloom is by far the best grocery store… period. Secondly - the sushi was good. For five bucks - it was a really good lunch. So if you ever get sick of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, and (heaven forbid) Chick-fil-a, head on over to the grocery store and pick up some sushi. You won’t regret it.
A couple of weeks ago - I talked about the fruit of the Spirit on a Wednesday night. One of the things that has stuck with me since that message was something that I learned about self-control. Through researching and reading what people smarter than me said about self-control - this is the definition I gave:
Self-control is more than stopping yourself from doing the wrong things. It is also starting yourself in doing the right things.
As I have thought about this over a couple of weeks - I have come to realize how little self-control is seen in my life. My prayer is the God will cause self-control to grow in my life. Think about how huge it would be to have that one down.
This week - I had my first crack at video editing. I used Windows Movie Maker to edit a clip down to exactly what I wanted. The point that I was trying to get across was - don’t be unequally yoked. It is a lot easier for someone to bring you down than it is for you to bring someone up. Let me know what you think.
This will be a list of artist and bands that have shown up in my iPod a few times in the last week or two. In the past - I have tried to give big explanations… no more. Today you get a list.
That is just what I have been listening to lately. Check out those bands - I hate that I am so pigeon holed. Hillsong and Hanson don’t fit. Other than that - all of the other music is a lot of the same. Oh well - I guess I just know what I like.
I am going to be as honest as possible right now. I love reading blogs. I really love reading blogs. In fact - one of my goals in life is to be a good blogger. I want people too want to read my blog. I want to be that guy who is on everyone’s blogroll. I want to be the guy who people say - “Yo, he has a good blog. Have you read that thing?” And the person they are talking to responds with - “Of course! I have been reading his blog for years!”
OK. I realized today - that I am not there. Of course not. I realized today that I don’t think that in this point of my life I could be there. I read people’s blogs like Perry Noble, Steven Furtick, Craig Groeschel, Jason Salamun, Boyd Bettis, Gary Lamb, Brad Ruggles or Jay Hardwick. I am not as smart as these people. Everyday they have something amazing to say. Everyday they bring something to the table that makes me say… “wow.” I can’t do that.
I want to be a blogger that people want to read. I want people to read my blog and say… “You know what - I can apply this to my life.”
But at this point in my life - I think that I am too much of a kid. I know all these guys would say “Oh… I am a kid, too.” But honestly - these guys are years ahead of me (not just in age (and some of them not even that) - but wisdom). I just used parenthesis inside of parenthesis (is that the correct plural spelling?).
Why have I taken the time to type all of this out? Because this is me telling myself that I am through taking myself so seriously. I made this blog for fun. I have anxieties about what to write about. That isn’t fun. So - if you are looking for the deep and spiritual… you might find it here. But read those other guys - they are good. I am going to embrace the fact that I am not so wise.
“Ghost ridin’ the whip” has always been something that I would love to do. Don’t know what “ghost ridin’” is? Watch and learn - let grandma and grandpa show you how it happens.
In other video news - Brad Cooper posted a sweet video last week. I would steal it - but it is too good. Enjoy.
If you are new to my blog or if you are seasoned veteran - I have only done a “My List” once. The title is cheesy - so if you can come up with something better… enlighten me. Last time - I made of a list of fictional characters that I would like to meet. Today - I am going to list the top five things I am excited about at this very moment.
God is good. What can I say? That is what I am pumped about - what about you? What are you excited about?
