13 again...

What a weekend! I don't remember actually getting out of the house much, but it sure was enjoyable.

Yesterday night I had youth group again and I experienced something I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing since I was in Middle School. Now, since I'm 26 and when you're in Middle School you're usually what, 12 - 13? So...a little math in the head...

Got it! Until yesterday, it was 13 years ago since I last played "Four Square"! Wow!

So here's how it went down, last night was Youth Group and it was a fun night and as I walked into the gym I noticed a group of kids playing "Four Square" and I immediately jumped in.

There I was waiting in line, just knowing that the wealth of skill I once had 13 years ago would come flooding back...but alas, in my old age my spryness has faded. Although I had a good time, I was not the killer "Four Square" player I once was. Oh well.

So...if there's anyone else out there looking to relive those Middle School days, here's Wikipedia's explanation of "Four Square"!

See you on the court!

What is going on here...

Okay...I am only 26 years old. That's it! (and yes, I drew that)

Now...I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, but why on Earth did I find 2 gray hairs on my head this week!?

Maybe there is something to the myth...you know, the one that says for every gray hair you pluck out, 2 more grow in it's place.

Well about a month or so ago I plucked one out, and then this week...2! I'm not old, am I?

Not sure if this has happened to you or not, but it's not a great feeling. I was fine with my bad knees, sore shoulder, the other body aches, and being tired all the time, but this is really...kind of...a step too far, and too quick!

Anyway...that's my experience this week. Could it be stress? If so...man I need to relax!

Oh well...I guess that's that...I'm old...it's all downhill from here, unless...WAIT! I've got it! I'll start tracking down a hairstyle that looks good gray! Now...which celebrity should I model myself after? Hmmm.

I'm back! Time for School!

Well, I'm back...actually, I put in a day's worth of work on Friday. Got to tell you that it's not a bad idea to come back from vacation at the end of a week, because then you get the weekend, and you don't have to come back for a full weeks worth of work!

Anyway...back to the 'ol grindstone. It's going to be interesting...not only am I back to work today...but I start my class. It's an intro to computing class and is required in order for me to attend all those Web Design classes.

It's an online class...never taken one of these before, could be the best thing ever...but it could be the opposite. I'll let you know. All I can say is that, it's kind of exciting and in a way I'm proud to be going back for furthering education.

If you've never done it, or you've considered it...I highly recommend it. I'm very proud of those that are taking the class with me...some of them are single parents attending college for the first time! I can't imagine! Good luck to us all!

I'll try and bring you more posts in the near future...some about school...others about whatever. In the mean time, enjoy the 50+ degree weather we've got today and tomorrow.

Holy Post Batman!

Yes...I know it's been WAY too long since I last posted. I've been extremely busy like the rest of the world. I've been covering for many different people here at the station.

But...I'm BACK! Just in time to leave! HA!

My wife Annie and I are taking that "Christmas Vacation" we've always wanted...you know the one to some really warm place. That place that makes you never want to return to work. Yeah...we're going there. I'll be back after the New Year.

I just thought that since I'll be gone for a while I would post something...a Christmas Greeting! Here you go!



I'll try and bring some sunshine back with me...if I could only figure out how to get it. Hmm.

Merry Christmas!!

New favorite Christmas Song...

Alright...so it looks like I'm not persistent enough to keep up with the Music Video Monday...plus, I think that you all like regular posts if anything.

However...today's a special day. I found a new Favorite Christmas Song. Jars of Clay: Love Came Down at Christmas. Great song, with great lyrics, beats, and all that.

Well...I found the music video. It's really cool! Kind of like if a group of kids drew out the Christmas Story, seeing that I'm not sure that Mary and Joseph traveled by a "Pink Polka-Doted Unicorned Giraffe".

Anyway...watch the video...it's really cool and so is the song. Thanks!

Back 2 School

That's me...well...not really...but it's what I think I might look like if I were young and going back to school. Wait...

You don't have to be young to go back to school. See...that's what I'm doing today. Later on this afternoon, I'm signing up for classes. This makes absolutely no sense. While I was in school, I couldn't wait to get out...now I'm going back...and even excited about going back? Huh...okay.

Well...class starts in January...keep checking back where I'll keep you up-to-date on my adventures of going "Back 2 School".

Owen & Sheldon

So...my last post was about the friendship between my wife's cat and my turtle. Well...upon much thought, I wonder what it is they do while we're at work. You know the saying, "When the cats away, the mice will play."

What I'm going to try and do is come up with an amature comic strip about the two of them and their antics while we're not around. So...here you go, the first "Owen & Sheldon".

Sorry if it's terrible...I'm only a funny guy...sometimes.



Thanks!

Caught!...or...Best Friends? You decide.

So my wife and I have two pets...there's: Owen...The Cat, and Sheldon...The Turtle.

Every morning before I leave for work, it's my job to stick Sheldon in the bathtub for his morning bath. Well this morning, I come around the corner through the doorway and low and behold...Owen is perched on the ledge watching his aquatic roommate.

I just can't tell if they're buddy's or if Owen was getting ready to pounce on poor, slow, Sheldon.

If it were my guess...I'd say they're friends. Thought this was a cool picture to post, so there you go...smile at the fact that Owen and Sheldon are Best Friends Forever.

I've been avoiding this...but...

Alright...so as much as I didn't really ever want to talk about it, I guess I just can't help it any more.

What am I referring to? The writers strike in Hollywood. Here's the deal, I don't watch a whole lot of television, I have it on a lot, but I'm usually doing something else and I have a few shows that I really like to watch and don't want to miss.

2 of those shows would be "The Office" and "Lost". Now...right now "The Office" is well into it's newest season and it's pretty good so far. However, I ran across an article yesterday that delivered some bad news...until the strike is over, the episode of "The Office" that will air this Thursday, tomorrow...is the last one they have done. Great! Now I can get outside and do all those fun yard work things I've been putting off! Wait...that's not cool.

Then...in February...the new season of "Lost" starts up...well, they don't have all of the episode written...but they have 7 or 8 of them. Now here's how their going to handle it..."Lost" will air what they have done and apparently the last of the finished episodes will end on a cliffhanger. This will seem all to familiar, as it's what we experienced last season when they took a 2/3 month break over December/January/February time frame. The whole idea for starting it in February was to have a non-stop season...we'll see if that happens.

So anyway...there's my rant. Maybe we'll see a new era of television...7-8 episodes every couple of months, that way all year long we'll get new and fresh episodes! Well, I guess it's time to spend time with the family, pick up a new hobby, and get outside until this is all over...wait...maybe this strike will be the healthiest thing to ever hit the nation. Hmmm.
