But first……
I know this is not the new of news, but I don’t think I ever pointed it out and wow this just amazes me.
It is said that the new Extended Edition DVD of he Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King (LOR:ROTK) is 50 minutes longer than the original film (which was 3 something hours long to start with) and added something like over 3000 more effects shots to the movie. That is amazing, and now if you want to have a DVD marathon (which I would love to do) it looks like I could have everyone over to eat breakfast @ 8:00 am and then what the first one(Fellowship of the Ring (little more than 3 1/2 hrs.), then have lunch, watch the second one (The Two Towers almost 4 hrs.), and then eat dinner and watch the third one (Return of the King over 4 hrs.) and I think everyone could be home around 11:00 pm. How is that for a movie marathon?!!!! Start it @ 8:00 am and end it around 11:00 pm. Oh yeah, that will rock, but I better make sure to tell everyone to bring over pillows, heh. I might need to put some chairs on my kitchen table for room, heh. Oh and this will have to be for there most dedicated of Tolkien fans….(in other words….no talking Tiffany!!!…even if it is questions) heh heh.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Also you have all got to see what I saw today while eating lunch @ The Bobcat Bite here in Santa Fe……
That is a 1928 Jag!!!! I should have taken a better shot of the front emblem, but I did not want to be rude. When the guy came out of his truck, I told him that everyone sure was in awe of his car. His response? “So am I.” ha ha ha ha. That is just amazing! Apparently after talking to one of the ladies @ the Bite she told me he used to own a shoe store in Santa Fe and eats there 2 times a week, and kept telling her that he would bring his car by to show her, and today he finally did. heh. Wow that is just cool…and I am not into cars.
Also, I have to say the best Green Chili Cheese Burger in the world is @ the Bobcat bite. They cut their own meat for the steaks and what is left over becomes the hamburger meat. Oh and they cook it perfectly, and use Hatch Green Chili. The only Chili to use. Oh and you must remember if your ever in New Mexico and ask for Chili then you will be asked green or red, because there is no meat and sauce with this, because they are talking about chili peppers not the meal. But oh man I have been taken over and am now addicted to the stuff, and it will be very hard for me to not have it. (I wonder if there is an influx of cocaine to Hatch, New Mexico and they just put it in the fertilizer when growing the chilis, because I just have to have my fix every now and then. Hoooo Doggie! (heh, love making up words)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Jay Update: same, waiting on Friday to go get the next Chemo treatment. KUTP!
Well, Tiffany and I decided that we need to have a date night tonight, so dang it we are going to go have one. Between her schedule and mine we have not even had time to sit down and enjoy each other, so tonight we decided that we would make the time for each other. man, this whole both being Pastors in different churches can really kill you. We are still learning how to juggle ministry and marriage, but don’t worry, we still love each other more than we ever have!!!!! Man, she is such a hottie!! Woo hoo! I say all this to say:
If you have a wife/husband or girl/boy friend, or family member that you have not spent enough time with then dang it you set a date night them right now (call them on the cell phone, what ever it takes, and you set up a date night that requires showers and nice clothes, and just love the other person!
Jay Update:
just talked to Jay about 6 mins. ago and he was very tired. This is really taking a toll on him now being the second time all of this happening and so I just ask (as always) KUTP! His Spirits are fine as always, but I just know it has to be hard the second time around and knowing there is another one just around the corner and then a Stem Cell Transplant after that it just sucks right now…but he, I , and the rest of you know (if you don’t please email me) that He is in VERY good hands with God. Thank you for your prayers and love, and keep them coming! Thanks again!
Oh and the Easter Egg is for all those Halo2 Fans out there! And believe me you will want to find this egg!!!!
Man, have we been blessed with this rain!!! woohoo this rain is wonderful and not they are saying that it will be leaving us for about a week, but man for how dry Santa Fe has been the past few years it is nice to see the moisture!!! Thank you God.
(Did anyone ever tell you that the reason it was raining was because you did something to hurt God’s feelings and you made him cry? Oh man, that is cruel, heh. Glad no one ever told me that one, heh heh (sorry God)
Well, I was on TheDigitalBits.com (like I am everyday reading the latest DVD news, and I thought I would show you the only thing I have ever won. If you go to this page (scroll down to “November ‘99 - Weekly Contests”) on TheDigitalBits.com that shows all of their winners then you will see my name and the city I lived in (it was Wilmore, KY back then). Yep I will go down in the history records and my name is in bright lights….well…..how about gold……Ok it is yellow, but at least it sticks out more with the black background.
Also, I was going to share with everyone that I had a wonder event take place today!!!!!! Someone actually heard my sermon and talked to me about a problem they noticed about me when I am in front of the church!!! Yes (I know), some would see this as bad, but this means that they heard/listened to the sermon enough to actually follow Jesus’ words and came to see me individually, and in love!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!! Man, it was a good talk, and I still have some learning on how to talk when I get passionate about something (I come across as being bad, when in reality I am just excited) and of course it is hard when your not used to people telling you something bad about yourself (your natural defenses pop up and you have to pray and put yourself in check), but wooo dang that was so awesome!!!
As a Preacher you spend your entire life hoping that your sermon does not fall on deaf ears, and you hope that people not only hear it, but put it into action and I am a witness of that very thing, and it was awesome (and totally a God thing).
So, thank you to the couple who came to me…(if you ever read this) and please know you will always be remembered for your honestly, and intregrity of living out your faith in the way that Christ desires for us to live (not just speak)!!! Thank you for being the 95%, and making me a better pastor/preacher!
The topic we talked about was a good one to discuss and if any of you would like you can share your thought/s on the matter in the comments (below this post) or on theblessing.org Forum. (it is under general Biblical questions) But the topic is this:
Does the dress of the pastor or anyone in worship matter when worshiping. For example, should a preacher wear a tie and suit every Sunday? What does this have to do with worship? What does the Bible say about this, and what context is it shared in? Where is tradition and where is scripture in this debate? Ok, now go have some fun in the comments or @ the blessing Forum dress topic.
The only other thing I wanted to share with yall is a few pictures of the kinds of hummingbirds I have seen drinking from our humming bird feeders!!! I have never taken any photos of them myself, but man they are so cool. By far the coolest bird in the air (to me). And before the birds, here is a cheesy joke:
Why do humming birds hum? Because they don’t know the words to the song. Ha Ha Ha.
Now I am not an expert, so I am guessing on these, but you can click the pictures to learn more about them.
This is a female (apropriatly named for my back yard) Lucifer Humming bird (ha ha)
This is a Female (I think) Rufous. And these love to have their feeder as their feeder and anyone else who comes near will be dive bombed, or fought off. Really cool to know that a humming bird your mixture so much they fight for it, but you tend to not see many other kinds because they are “shoowed” away very quickly, heh. The mean biker humming birds.
I saw one White Eared Humming bird just a week ago.
And I think I have seen two or three of these Broad-tailed humming birds.
Well, there you go just a few of the ones that I have seen so far, and man I love them. I have even gone so far as to make sure I plant Hummingbird mint in my front and back yards to attack them to the feeders. I have seen some of them skip the feeder and go for the natural flowers too. Man, I love them. I think I got hook on them back when we would go camping in our motorhome in NM and CO and I would stick my finger out the window next to the feeder and they would land on my finger to feed. Man, feeling those little feet wrap around your finger is something you will never forget!
Someday if it is God’s desire maybe I will feel little hands wrapping around my finger again, but these will be from my baby, heh. I’ll keep working on that one….(I really like “working” on having a baby, ha ha ha)
Jay Update:
Well Jay is home now and is tired from his second round of the super 5 day intensive chemo. He still gets to go back every other day for the Rituxan (I think) Chemo, so please keep him in your prayers! I know that he is really worried about the cancer sores again, because they hurt so bad and are just all around frustrating. I know I had only one (sympathy pain for my brother) and it made me sooo mad!! But I just prayed for Jay ever time it hurt and it worked out to be a good thing. That might be why it stayed around for so long, heh. KUTP!
Love you all, oh and for your computer geeks….Microsoft is in development of it’s new operating system code named Longhorn. And MS has said that LongHorn will come in different ways, but that one of the ways it will be coming is via HD-DVD (one of the competing High Definition DVD options from Toshiba and others…Competing with Blue-Ray from Sony and others) Very big play for the HD-DVD group if you ask me, but MS did not deny that the new OS could be coming out on Blue-Ray as well. You can find the story here and here. (and the digitalbits commented on it here).
God bless you all and good night….pictures of the hairless bald pastor back to hairy pastor are coming soon, be ready for a fun ride. (HEH the last one sounds bad, I wonder if hair Pastard is a bad word, heh heh) (and I digress…time for bed. love yall!)
Well, Namiqa our Sr. Pastor is out of the office on a much needed break for refueling so the Sermon preparation was a little new and took up a bunch of my time, because it was an important sermon to get out there, and I knew that it had to be surrounded in prayer, so I took the time to do that and to write it. I will be getting it up and online for anyone who desires to read the stinking long thing. The Sermon is titled, “Conflicted Minds, Holy hearts” and is all about how to deal with conflict as a Christian, and is based on Matthew 18:15-20.
The link to my sermon is here: Conflicted Minds, Holy Hearts I thought it would be fun and make the Word file an Adobe File so if you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader yet, then you need to go here: 
to Download it (FREE) to view the sermon. This is a great program that almost all of you should have on your computer anyway, so just download it (if you do not have it already). Lots of company’s use this program to create forms and other things that they do not want you to mess with in a format you can see, but not change. I really hope that this sermon (even though it is long) can be a blessing to all of you!
Also the website JustPeaceumc.org has a great brochure talking about how to deal with conflict as a Christian. I had copies of their brochure in the Narthex for people to pick up just in case they ever get into conflict and need some help. BTW: the brochure is in a Adobe Reader format too (.pdf file extension) so for you to read that one then you need Adobe reader…see told you that it is a program you should just have on your computer!
Also, I thought a few of you might like to know that they finally named the next StarWars film:
A fitting title if you ask me, since at the end of this one all hope is lost until a little man by the name of Luke Skywalker shows up on the scene. Oh man I can not wait for this movie!
Oh yeah, and if none of you have ever done one of these it can really suck you into them, but a new thing going around now days is internet enigmas. At least that is what I call them…other people call them Alternate Reality Gaming. It is basically a form of a game that involves really had clues and text hidden in the html of web pages, and even hidden text inside photos and jpegs. So it is a real computer nerds example of fun, but they can started one for the soon to be released Halo2 game for the Xbox. And if any of you want to be sucked into ARG, then be my guest this one is not too hard, but man it blows me away to see the ways that people hide things in the riddles and clues. It all started with the Halo2 movie trailer showing in theaters across the country in Lowes movie theaters. At the end of the movie trailer is has a website titled ilovebees.com. This website will send you to a web site that looks like it has been hacked, but the messages are found all over the place, and then you can go to a blog titled ilovebees, and then to other blogs. These games are always meant to be played as a ground of people so you can go to places like this website to read about the history of the ARG and help with deciphering the clues and such. Just a really cool way of getting you to spend a little more time waiting for the game to come out and then the ARG will tie into the actually game so it really is lots of fun. A warning to any of you who want to play…..these things pride themselves into blurring the lines between reality and fiction, so if you call the phone number listed on a website then you get a message that you would expect to hear. Some of these games have gone so far as to call you and leave messages to make the game more immersive. Yeah, it is cool…if you like that sort of thing and you never know what is part of the game and what is not and someone just playing around with the gamers.
Well, seen some other cool stuff that I will save for later. God bless you all! oh yeah…
Jay Update:
Well, he is doing fine in his second round of intensive chemo, and they have now knocked off his last (one of two…can’t remember) rounds of chemo and will be doing a Stem Cell Transplant after they do one more intensive round of chemo, so please KUTP!!!! Jay loves and thanks each of you for all the prayers and support! I even feel it and it is wonderful! Thanks again!

Jay Update from Sheila that I got today (7/22/04):
Jay is back in West Penn Hospital for the 3rd Chemo cycle of the CALGB 10002 protocol he started this month.
The good news is that he may only need one more cycle after this one but they will then most likely do a stem cell transplant. The should help ward off reoccurrence.
He is doing well, with the exception of extreme fatigue. His neurological symptoms continue to improve. He is in room 720 and the phone number is 412-578-1156. He will hopefully be release on Tuesday.
I am writing the sermon for Sunday right now, so this will be a short blog post and Friday you will probably not see one because Tiffany and I will be in Taos visiting her parents who are there for a meeting. So have a wonderful weekend, and God bless you all! KUTP!
I know that most of you probably could care less, but I read this article and it appears that Dolby Labs has decided to name a Dolby Digital Trailer after me. And to top it off it is a DD 5.1 Trailer for video games named “Argon” (After the kind of gas used in a laser beam I am sure, but I like to think that is is after me, heh). You can’t get better than that, heh.
translation for those of you who don’t know what I just said:
Dolby Labs: This is a company who came up with the idea to have surround sound in movies. They have just created a new Dolby Digital sound track for video games.
Dolby Digital: The way to reproducing sound for movies (and now video games) that is is surround sound. the sound comes out of 5 speakers and one subwoofer (thus you see the term 5.1 surround sound on DVDs that yo buy and such) The speakers are a center speaker, a right front speaker, a back right speaker, a back left speaker, a front left speaker, and a dedicated (.1) subwoofer for all the lower sounds in movies.
Trailer: A Trailer is the term for all the movie previews before movies and I am sure most of you have seen THX or DTS trailers before a movie, and that is what the article above is talking about…..except this time it is a Dolby Digital trailer for video games.
Now another thing you have to know is Argon (yes, the noble gas) is the name I had for my D&D character while growing up, so if you ever go to a place on the internet or what ever that has nick names it is probably me if the person has the name Argon.
(Yes, i played D&D while growing up and no I was and am not a Devil worshiper, or anything like it, heh…to me it is a game, and nothing more! It was clean fun with my brother and lots of friends. (and yes, I am a pastor, heh) (If you want to know more about D&D then just email me)
Also I thought this thing was cool so you can check that out too.
OH, man yall got to see this!!! It is square watermelons, and even a pyramid shaped watermelon!!! That is just amazing! I wonder how they do that?
Jay Update:
No update…see previous post, heh. Sorry, but Jay still has not heard anything back from the blood test so I think they are still planning to go to the hospital Thursday and see if they can get checked in and start the chemo treatment again.
——————
Well, Tiffany’s parents are still here, but leaving tomorrow 
But, the WRUMC youth are gone and now maybe we can have a little more peace around here, heh (love you guys!)
Oh I must tell you all a story about what happened yesterday….
I called Tiffany yesterday, and she was home with all the youth and her parents. Well, she told me that the bottom bathroom toilet was clogged and literally poop floating all over the place in it (I could hear the plunger swooshing in the back ground) She told me that one of the youth did it (but no one was owning up to it, heh) We were talking about some other subject, and it was just cracking me up and here is the copy of the conversation:
Me: Hi Girl
Tiffany: Hi Boy
(swoosh, swoosh)
Me: What are you doing?
Tiffany: One of the
(swoosh swoosh)
Tiffany: guys probably use a little too much toilet paper and
(swoosh swoosh)
Tiffany: clogged up the bathroom toilet
(swoosh swoosh)
the youth in the background: Dang Tiffany that is gross!! Yuck!!! oh Man, Why did you do that?
(swoosh swoosh)
Me: I am sorry girl, is the plunger working?
Tiffany: Well, it sure is breaking up the poop, but the water is going no where
(swoosh swoosh)
Tiffany: I think I will try to flush it again
(swoosh swoosh)
Me: NOOOOO Tiffany don’t do…
(cla-plush)
Tiffany: Well, it looks like it might be….
Tiffany: AAAAGGGGG Guys come here, come here, help me AAAGGGGG It is going all over the place
Me: Tiffany? Tiffany?
Tiffany: Oh Man, there is poop all over the floor, and poop water everywhere……
Me: Tiffany? Tiffany? Hey!
(ooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn) <--Dead phone line Ha Ha Ha Ha. Well, I immediatly called Kokopelli Properties who we are renting from and they had a plumer over to the house in less than 5 mins!!! That is good service. He fixed and and said when he walked into the bathroom, Oh Sh@&, litterally Sh@$ Ha Ha. And this is a guy who does this for a living, so needless to say it must have been horrible. Well, I got home and the major pieces of poop where off the floor and out of the toilet and the plummer had fixed it and left, but Tiffany was wearing latix gloves as high as they would go, and disinfecting every part of the bathroom, including the ceiling (well, maybe not that bad, but close). I found out later that she even had to disinfect the bottom of her shoes, ha ha ha….oh man that craks me up, so times Tiffany is so silly! (but the greatest woman in the world for me, heh.)
Well, I will leave you all with a picture of me and MY Nanaw when I was very young. And yes, I am darn cute, so be prepared to be wowed, heh. j/k.
As I sit here in front of my compute tonight. Tiffany’s youth group is watching !Three Amigos!. This is one of the classics if you ask me, and man I love this movie. If you need a good clean funny stupid movie, then this will fit the bill, to a “T”! If you have not seen this movie then do yourself a favor and go rent it or better yet buy it. It is an old movie and I am sure you can find it cheap somewhere. And for those of you who are not inclined to watch stupid funny movies, then you just need to watch it around 2:00 am and then it will be funny for you!! ha ha ha.!
Jay Update:
Well, I did not get to talk to Jay today (but my parents did)…I must have called while he was taking a nap (I am very glad he did not wake up do to my phone call) Well, we were wanting to get the results of the blood test to find out if he gets to start his Chemo (coarse III) again on Thursday or Friday, and they did not have any results yet. This is very frustrating for Jay (and everybody else too) because it seems like the medical industry in PA is on Santa Fe time (i.e. I will do it….just when I get around to doing it, heh) Dang they are slow!!!! Oh well, I will let you all know as soon as I can about the results.
On a second note of prayer needs, please pray for my cousin Bobby who had heart surgery today (I think that is right) and is healing now. Bobby is a truck driver in his line of work, and now he is worried that he will not be able to continue in driving. Please pray for his heart, and job when he heals up, and his spirits to make it through all of this.
KUTP!!!!!
Oh, I found a little fun site for the “hidden”(I hope it works) Easter Egg today, so I hope you have some cheesy fun there, heh.
I am scarred about Tiffany having a child. (nothing is wrong so don’t worry about it, but here is why:) <-- ha ha that looks like a smile face, and I was just doing what I thought would go there, heh-- Just to gross some of you out here you go: 
Well, I know that Jay is having tons of canker sores in his mouth, tongue, etc…and I think I am having sympathy pains, heh. I have a canker sore right on the back right side of my tongue! It is at the perfect place that every time I talk or eat the sore rubs against my teeth, and man o man does it hurt. Eating a meal is frustrating and painful, and I can not even imagine how bad it is for Jay!! Well, I decided that it was just God wanting me to pray for Jay everytime it hurt, so it has made me pray for Jay even more, but here is the deal…..If I am having sympathy pains for my brother, then I will be bed ridden when Tiffay is pregnant, ha ha ha. Oh well, it will be worth it! I just hope that I am not sick so much that I can not help Tiffany around the house, ha ha ha j/k (j/k=just kidding). Hey that is something you all can pray for us about too. We hope to try artificial insemination again next month, but this time we will try it with low dose fertility drugs (twins, aaaarrrrgggggg, ha ha (no offense Pepper, heh)) If that does not work then we will check for Endometriosis. So you can keep praying for us too. (I love “trying” for the baby, ha ha ha) (Man, I am glad God created sex, wooo hoooo!!! heh (only in a marital relationship, of course))
Well, it is getting to be bed time for me…well really for the youth, and since the computer is downstairs, I have to stop, heh) So God bless every single one of you, and please take care!
Dios te vendiga!
Soon I will put up pictures of myself during the “watch my hair grow back on my head phases” and then you all can leave comments of the best look, and I will tally up the votes and possibly keep the look you all choose, heh. Be on the look out for it. Good night all!
Well, as most of you know, I caint speel, and my grammmmmer is not the best of all )in the world(. So, I just thought I would wright one blog posting that I dant speel ckec and danit care about me grammmmer?! @
Seriously, most of my “misstakes” is cause I am typing so fast, and I never re-read these things before I publish them. I was talking to Deb yesterday about this and she said that my blog drove her crazy when it came to my spelling and grammar. I laughed, and nodded my head in agreement. For as long as I could remember I have never been good about my spelling or grammar. I only received one perfect grade on a paper in any English class Jr. High, High School and College. And that paper was typed using a manual typewriter and I checked every single word in a dictionary (before the internet) for it’s spelling and correct usage. I was only allowed three write-out mistakes on each page and the paper was 7-10 pages long. Everything had to be perfect, and apparently it was. This was in 7th grade and the teacher ran down to my mother’s class room (yep I had my mother for 7th grade life science) after school and wanted to congratulate me in person! Well, for me that really was an honor, and I don’t think she or I knew how much of an accomplishment that really was for me (not just for my 13th year of age, but for my entire life) Ha Ha Ha!
Well, getting back to my spelling and grammar, I must say that I think that God has given me a unique gift with several bonuses. The first one is friends that can see past the spelling and grammar to the heart of the author. The second is the gift to help others to know that the world does not fall apart with a word is misspelled or the grammar of the English language is brutally beat to a pulp. And the Third is, teaching others how to forgive.
So for all of you people who read this post day after day, screeching in horror of my spelling and grammar, I hope that you are able to grow towards maturity in Christ through the gifts that God has given me, and help you to become more forgiving and able to see past the outside and look into heart of writer instead of the ink.
I am very thankful that I preach audibly, and not in writing. Yes, I write a newsletter article here and there, but by the time you read it a wonderful person by the name of Juaniece has made all the corrections and protected me from the flames of perfectionistic, legal-minded, English rule abiders. And I thank God every day for my wife who helped me actually get through Seminary. I remember one Salesmanship class in undergraduate school that made us take our test in blue books (the very thought of them makes me cringe, aaaaaahhhhhhhhh). I answered every question on the test perfectly, but I made a 70 on the test. And the 70 was taken off due to ONLY misspellings. The dean of the business school even came into the class and threatened to our class that he might start making all students take a spelling test to graduate from the school. (terror again filled my mind, even though I knew he was just joking) It turns out he was the father of a very good friend of mine in school, and one of my best friends in High School and College married that friend (you need to remind your dad of this Kristi, heh)
Well, I can tell several other stories, like Seminary professors giving me personal notes on my papers with the words of encouragement, “Did you even proofread this?”, or “I think you could write this paper better in Hebrew than using the English language”. Yep, there were some cool, seminary professors, and a few that were…uh….Desiring excellence out of me. heh heh.
Well enough of me let get to the……(drum roll please…….)
Jay Update:
I talked to Jay yesterday and he said that he has a blood work result tomorrow (Tuesday) and if the blood work is good, then they will start the section III chemo on Thursday or Friday. If the test is not good, then they will postpone the chemo until his body is back up enough to receive the chemo. Jay wants his body to be good, because he doe snot want any delays in the chemo schedule and just get this thing over and done with. So thank you and know your prayers are effective, and working! He and we appreciate them all and love every single one of you! KUTP!
Oh yeah, I saw i, ROBOT Saturday, and it was VERY good. It was the typical, “Man, makes robot, man makes robot too good, robot starts to think for its self, robot rebels against man, man kills central brain of all robots”. This time at least the robots do what they do, because “man can not be allowed to take care of themselves, because they war and kill themselves. The first time I saw this kind of theme was in The Fifth Element. It is true, that mankind is not a good steward of his fellow man, or the world we live in, but I believe this is the result of choosing not to be in right relationship with God. So…all the more reason to share your relationship with God with others so they too may know and experience “too blave, true love, true love he said…you can not ask for a better reason than that” (go watch The Princes Bride for that loose quote) But, if you like Sci-Fi flicks with lots of action and a splattering of humor from Will Smith then you will love this movie. Oh Happy Days….oh happy days, Oh Happy Days… oh happy days. heh.
God bless yall, and take care! Good night!
For those of you who even know me slightly (and have not figured it out yet by the strange title of my blog) I am just a little different. heh.
When I was in High School people would ask me who my heroes were and my response was (and still is, but I have added a few)
Jesus Christ
Weird Al Yankovic
Albert Einstein
and now I have added:
All of my family (especially Tiffany)
Alton Brown
A few Pastors I have had along the way
So it should not be too much of a suprise that HomestarRunner.com is right up my alley way. Their humor is very….uh…different, but clean! It is similar to The Far Side (oh look they have videos now!), it is very weird, but very funny if you actually know what they are talking about. Kind of like a lot of jokes on the products (like their tee-shirts) sold @ thinkgeek.com.
Well, go to Homestarrunner.com and you can see Decemberween. It is a lot of shorts that they have created that are very funny. There is also a great HomeStarRunner/The Might Be Giants video on right now too. But hurry because right now you can access these from
the home page (look at the changing ellipse in the top right corner)……and they update it every Monday so it (the stuff of the changing ellispse) might change Sunday night or Monday. It will still be there after Monday, but you might have to go searching for it on the site.
Oh BTW, I was looking around foodtv.com and a great Southern Cook named Paula Deen loves to cook good old fatten’n southern-fried, sugar-filled, comfort food. Well, I was looking at her
product area on FoodTV.com and you should read some of the tee-shirts and aprons they are selling there. You can see them here. My favorite one is, “elbow lickin’ good!” Ha Ha Ha! Now you know that is good food then, heh. a few others are: “worth the weight”, and “Put some south in your mouth”. Oh man those are funny!
OK, I am making myself very hungry! I think I will go try the only BBQ place in Santa Fe today (Cow Girl Hall Of Fame), I hope it just tries to come close to anything in TX. Man, I miss those places that you can just walk up to the pit, point out the brisket, chicken, sausage, etc… that you want then walk inside for them to throw on the tater salad, coleslaw, a few raw onion rings, cherry peppers, and then give you a glass of sweet tea that is really a jelly jar with a glass handle that is the size of a pitcher in most restaurants. Then you take two trips to your table.
One to carry your food and then another one to carry your drink. Once you sit down you see that there is a roll of paper towels for your napkin, and an entire loaf of bread that has been opened by someone just cutting the plastic on the top from end to end…………then…………….you eat!
OK, I am starving now, so I will leave you all knowing that I love ya, and have spent my entire morning this morning praying for you (all those who read this blog). How many blogs out there can tell you that?! Oh yeah, your blessed, ha ha. bye bye.
(No Jay Update….yet, because I have not called him, so just KUTP! Thanks!
I will leave you all with a few closings that you can use when saying good bye to people when you are chatting online:
->bye
->buh bye
->lata
->lata playa
->gtg (got to go)
->brb (be right back)
->peace
->one love, one God, one way (quote of a Christian rap artist)
->fkjsakdfjaISJFDAKSJF (my personal favorite, heh)
->(enter your name) out! (for example, “D.G. Out!”)
->10-4
->Ok Im back (heh this one always gets them)
->Or my favorite one of late told to me from my good friend soon to be Dr. John Choi who said this to me as the last thing before he quite the convo, “D.G. Harums will you marry me?”. I bet I talked to him for about 7 or 8 more lines of how it just would not work out, and he never IMed me back….that’s mean just mean!!!*
*this last good bye message is true, but John and I joke around all the time, so please understand it is all a joke. Thanks for understanding. heh.
Oh and lastly, blogger.com has changed the way I input my posts here on the blog and for some reason the spell check is not working properly and it locks up on me when I try to post. The post gets up for everyone, but I never know that unless I check the main blog site, so if the spelling is way off, it is because…yep I am that bad of a speller and I need help…from programs, heh. Sorry, and I hope they get it fixed soon. (It might be FireFox too, but I will look into that)
MY WIFE IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!
(and since she is home….that means no long blog post today! love yall have a wonderful night and God bless you!
Jay Update:
When I called tonight he was vomiting, and then I just decided to just
pray for him and not call him back if he was that sick. So please keep
KUTP!
(love you Jay…and Sheila, heh)
God bless you all, and know God loves ya! (and don’t you forget it!)
(p.s. The Easter Egg is not to be offensive, but funny. Thanks!)
