I'm still testing out this theme.

When my daughter was little..er she walked in one day, did a little dance and sang the Britney Spears lyrics “I’m not…that….innocent”. This should be a horrifying incident for any father, and I immediately canceled our appointment with that talent scout. Then I strongly admonished her for dancing. We’re Baptist, after all. I had no [...]
Alright…Clown ministries are great. A friend of mine’s mom is heavily involved, and it seems like it has a great response. Further, I am strongly in favor of any activity that encourages and/or helps the elderly. However, go to 0:30 on this video. In the not-so-distant future, when my then-elderly wife is peacefully, and apparently [...]
First, this haunting video of the destruction of those chocolatey, pagan delights…. Then…the bad news. The baby boomer lifestyle and value system isn’t working out so well for some. (No offense to decent baby boomers…I wish a Harley and hang-gliding retirement to you all.) Some people are trashing foreclosed houses before they leave. Equity loans [...]
In early 8th grade, I was in dedicated comic collecting mode. And every boy who collects comics will try to draw comics sooner or later. My first real attempt was called “The Adventures of Stickman”. Drawn on a single page of loose leaf, these little things eventually had quite an audience. 10 or so people [...]
OK so it has nothing to do with NASCAR, but…. Yesterday was our 13th wedding anniversary. That’s about 145th in Hollywood years. We celebrated by going out to lunch and laughing about our senior year World History class, where our teacher separated us so we wouldn’t talk. Then told me I couldn’t look at her [...]
Picture this: “Our love started as a 500 mile drafting chess match. Then my heart hit the wall at 200 mph. I gotta say the Pennzoil emerald cut was sparklin’ pretty good today. We came away with a good engagement and we’re lookin’ forward to June.” HT: clanmcgraw
So now you can get all the episodes of South Park for free. Online. Downloadable. And unlike the cable versions, un-censored. All the offensive, profanity filled stuff you can handle….for free. But if you want to watch a Bible study video…have your Amex handy. Because “it’s a business” to talk about Jesus. And it’s “stealing” [...]
Remember that guy who strapped a camera to his cat’s collar? Well, these folks did the same thing with an elephant.
The thing is, as odd as it is…this is more music than alot of the stuff out there now. If I could start all over musically, I would be these people.
For some reason I’ve heard the word Revival come up in several contexts lately. As a Baptist, revival has alot of images. In particular, I see a large tent with a guest speaker, microphone with feedback, and the phrases “get right” and maybe “gonna burn” said. And lots of quartet music. But even minus the [...]
This is a humbling video. Two things: a) I can’t comment on this girls vocal performance. Not after I ‘sang’ that insanely high song 4 times yesterday. I hope there’s a supercomputer somewhere that can pitch correct those tracks! b) I probably sing the Italian lyrics in “The Prayer” with about the same accuracy as [...]
Here’s a weblog entry (that’s becoming increasingly famous) about church pre-schooler curiculums removing the crucifixion because it may be too traumatizing. My wife used Good Friday to show some pictures to our kids of what happened on that day (from “The Passion” companion book). My daughter was amazed to see the corresponding pictures with the [...]
To me, one of the most powerful passages in the Bible is Genesis 1:26,27 Genesis 1:26. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all [...]
My daughter has decided she likes a couple of the stuffed animals in Pokemon. Particularly the penguin: Since Pokemon has been around for awhile, her aunt had a small box of pokemon items in her closet. My daughter was pretty pumped and got to keep them. She particularly liked the wristwatch. So she proudly wears [...]
Before you make your dog into a coat, you want to make sure the little feller is in good shape. You don’t want a saggy jacket do ya? But dogs can be so demanding. Thus, before it terminates us all Skynet has provided this. The question is, do you buy this cool contraption because you [...]
After years of loyalty, what better way to honor your furry friend than by wearing her? I wonder…what is the human dose of Frontline?
My wife and I had our geekiest date ever by going to Omegacon this weekend. I’ve been to many similar scenes for computer security, but this is my first sci-fi/fantasy con to attend. And my lovely wife was there with me. The funnier parts of this scenario can be summed up in one question: “Mike, [...]
We had a Corgi. It was named Odie. He knew 15 or so tricks, and was almost killed by yellowjackets once. For the rest of his life he attacked flying insects with a vengence. They are cool dogs.
2 years ago: 13 big dogs get over $20 million each in bonuses. 2 months ago: “hmmm….maybe we don’t deserve bonuses this year. Or maybe we’re gonna take a big hit soon and don’t want to look like an evil corporate goon.” 2 days ago: Don’t worry folks…nothing wrong here….please move along. Today: Um….can we [...]
