Doin' It

So, a few weeks ago I said I had announcement coming.  

I have five, some less important, but still noteworthy.

5. I have developed an addiction to red cream soda

4. I like everything Jeremy Riddle sings,  

he's such a good guy too.

3. I'm totally doing Fires Creek Rim Trail at the end 

of the summer. This has been a thorn in my side for 

about 3 years, ever since we tried to do the 5-day 

hike in one weekend and (FAILED).

2. My family is moving this week to the new house. 

After 4 months of renovating, we're moving, but we

are not done, sigh.

1. I'm taking the job as the BCM intern at Mercer 

Univ. in Macon. This was not exactly planned, 

but God has His ways and His plan. I'll be there 

for the next school year. It's what you call ironic, 

because I have been known to give less than 

glowing reviews of Macon in the past and I'll 

leave it at that. I am excited, its a great 

opportunity.

Forget the caption, this baby is hilarious

Biz-to-the-y

I haven't blogged in awhile, because I have been more than a little preoccupied.  We are still trying to get our house done.  Its getting towards the end, so that's good, it's going to be a really good day when we get moved in.  

I really like "Sweetly Broken" by Jeremy Riddle right now

May 5th is shaping up to be a killer day, Mat Kearney and Future of Forestry (free song) are coming out with new cds.  It seems like I have been waiting 2 years for both of these bands to make some more great tunes.

Don't be that guy films is back at it and this is there new video

Parental lock is genius

I know this is last week's news, but Miss California should be Miss 

USA, she was definitely prettier and has morals (something I 

always wondered about with beauty queens).  I don't like being 

mean to people, but from what I know about this Perez hilton 

character, I think I have seen him somewhere before.

God is reminding me that trials are to remind me where my strength lies, and it's not in this tired body.

Well, keep on trucking reader's anonymous, I'm going to sleep in 4, 3, 2, and . . . .

Across the Pond

I saw this today.  And it reminded me of two of my favorite videos from Britain's got talent(which I am pretty sure is infinitely better than our version stateside).

I like to watch these every once in awhile, they're like those inspirational posters people have in their office.

and this one

Awesome?

I like to watch people who think they are awesome.  It's like watching a train with no brakes heading for a brick wall.  

March to Madness

There is only one time a year when you can do this and get away with it:

Its that time of year when people all over the country take part in something they know almost nothing about and cheer for teams they don't even know the location of.  I am one of those people who gladly pretends I  know something about basketball and fills out a bracket, hoping that I get some right and look like a genius, and win a pool and get some money.  My bracket is usually a schedule of the teams I want Florida to face on their way to the eventual national championship.  This worked once and it was great, I felt smart and that I knew basketball.

This year Florida has one college player, and some high school fill-ins, leaving me in a jam.  So I filled out my bracket high seeds and prophetic cinderellas (alas, the golden slipper did not fit this year).  I usually fill out a couple of brackets on different sites to maximize my winnings.  But this year I made all my brackets different, to maximize my chance of being right.  Now I have a problem, I feel like a cheater.  One of my brackets has the final four right and is in the top 99%, but it is hollow, because the rest aren't nearly that close.  So I really can't brag about being right, because I was also wrong.  

Oh the Madness

The Promise

One of the best speeches ever, and proof that short and sweet work.

Are You a Fan of Delicious Flavor?

Let me just say that I haven't posted in awhile because I have extremely busy and tired, between my job and renovating the new house, it makes for some really long weeks.  At the same time, I have a strange urge to ramble about something, I just don't know what, maybe another day.   

This is my favorite poem (I think I am feeling random, not a rambler)

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old,
This knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow,
Fell as he found,
No spot of ground,
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength,
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow;
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be,
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the mountains
Of the moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied,
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

I like it cuz it's in one of my favorite movies El Dorado (John Wayne) and its by E. A. Poe and its fun to recite.

I apologize for the lameness of this post, but in other more exciting news,  I might have a reasonably large announcement to make in a week or two (Hint: It's not a baby or anything like that).
