TINSTAAFL

There is no such thing as a free lunch, according to Mr. Powell in seventh grade econ. But at least you can get somebody else to pay for it..and the hotel room. Yet another trip to the beloved mid-west mistress OH on the company dime. I'm tonight in Findley after 8.5 hrs. in the car and am devoting the evening to catching up on this stuff. So alot has been going on. I'm in my new house with Eli. I freakin love it. There is a definite correlation to distance from town/distance from social happenings. We have people over 4 out of seven nights and I'm having to adjust, its been a long time since I've kept the college hours. At the cabin Jared and I would have to put an ad in the paper to get visitors. Isolation no more, whether I like it or not. Thank you Jesus for supplying my every need in the transition.
Brad McClendon, the pastor at Morningstar here has started a leadership training group. I've been invited and am really looking forward to being challenged, getting really close to the guys involved and making a difference in my hometown. It seems to immediately have come under attack from different angles, some I didn't expect, but I know that the Lord wants me involved so I'm making it a priority. Of course the work schedule can inhibit(I'm here in OH 12-15 days a month) but I'm working on that. I love my job, even if I feel inadequate sometimes. For those of you who might not be acquainted, I'm a quality control supervisor for WordCo Inc. We build Wal-Marts like crazy. So what if I don't have any background whatsoever in masonry and studied advertising? Check out www.thewordco.com for more.
Have you ever wondered what its like to be a genius? I have that thought sometimes. I feel really inhibited by my intellectual capabilities sometimes. When I read of guys like Danny Hillis, a guy who has just invented an analog "digital" clock that is supposed to tell exact time for 10,000 years, I get really excited to hear that work like this is being done. However, I can't imagine what it must be like to be able to think like that. They say that people with a 30 point difference in IQ level can't fully communicate with each other (If you can understand the words that be comin' out my mouth then we alright). Would I be able to even understand him if we were able to have a conversation with each other? It makes me curious, if I can't even fully comprehend a 10,000 year clock or String Theory, what makes me think I'd be able to adequately explain the mysteries of Jesus? So much of our time is spent trying to categorize and explain what happened on earth as He lived and died, but what of it? I mean we have enough trouble with the simple stuff. All we've got to explain the beginning of the universe is a "bang". How on earth can we understand the implanting of God onto earth? In no way am I denigrating science and its pursuit of the truth, I just want you to realize that despite how arcane and complex the ideas of science may be, no matter how dumb I may feel when I pull out a physics book, the ideas of Jesus are infinitely more complex. That creates an awe in me like nothing else. To know that even the smartest of the smart still don't have a clue about the breadth, width and height of His love. Its calming to me to think that my imagination can't fully conceive it.
If Jesus is who he proclaimed to be (I've decided to believe Him), then we have to deeply ponder the fact that we can't understand it. The good news is that despite all of His complexity, we don't have to. The gospel is available to EVERYONE...love unfathomable is available to everyone, even me. Simple and complex, now thats genius.

Quite the 'suiter'....

Waitress: "Who had the sweet teas?"

Chris: "I did, and the other one is for the gentleman in the jumpsuit."

Its a beautiful town

Oh Columbia you sweet mistress. may the banks of the Congaree overflow and provide rich nourishment to your trees and flora forever! You almost made me forget the sweatback/crack of your treachorous summers! It was good to see all my bruddas and sista together again. The worship service at Morningstar on Friday was ultra refreshing too. I needed it. Its Tuesday and the work week is well underway and I find myself looking forward to "hump day". Once again I'm not able to actually participate...
Jordan, your girlf is small as expected but eager to make a good impression...that adds 3" to her heart stature. Keep getting free stuff. To Jess, you puppies are actually poopies. I'd like to punt 'em. Nah, I'm just kidding...but I'm serious. Keep the hot friends coming. Thanks for letting us stay with you. To Chris, thanks for immortalizing me as the "gentleman in the jumpsuit".
In other news I'm immortalized in poetry form right here

SITE PICTURES

Since I posted this I can use this site to host the pic that will go on our title bar.. or anywhere else.. so if you want me to use a pic on the site... post it here... or anywhere.

ATARI , XBOX 360 might have a little competition

I just wanted to make a quick post to show you what has consumed me for the past weekend... and the REAL reason i didn't come home (jk) the Atari ... I previously held the high score in breakout but Hal had to go beat it... it WAS 378, but last night he scored a 404.. WHICH if you've been reading your Strong's concordance of Browser Errors, is an "HTTP:FIle Not Found Error".. this is obviously a sign from above that HIS file will be no where in sight after I smash his score with a perfect game..


Having said that, I also showed my newfound fanatacism for the Atari by carving a pump-a-kin junk-o-lantern in to an ATARI logo.... Last night a Japanese person told me my jack-o-lantern was too "brilliant" and "competition smashing." To that I replied:(Japanese Accent) "Atari, I really am! I didn't mean to make my punkin so brilliant that you have to squint to see it" to which he replied: "HTTP 123 ERROR:Insult Not Funny" and then screamed like a modem and ran away!















Also I made this cool night rider ringtone with fruity loops... if you want it i can email it to ya'll... it's sweet! byebye

Sunday

Jared reminded me this morning that we'd committed to going to John and Jill Burtons for dinner that evening. I'm glad we went though, the drive up was beautiful and the food was good. We decided Johns house reminded us of a midieval apothecaries house. After dinner of animal ribs(with raspberry compote) and cowboy coffee and freakin' awesome upside down cake we discussed John's views on russian/chinese world domination, avian flu, and the apocalypse. John's an eccentric genius. We definitely have interesting friends. Looking out at the brightest moon and discussing his sniper background he breaks into a poem from Patton. What the heck...Patton wrote poetry? He also informed us of practical ways to prepare for the collapse of the economy...the most interesting being a detailed instruction on how to make our own diesel fuel. He could sound a little off his rocker at first glance but he made some good points...made us think. Thats why I've decided to father as many illegitimate children as possible, thereby increasing the likelihood of my continuing my legacy when it all goes down....psyche. This is me ruminating after a glass of wine in a hotel room....

Oop.... My Blogg G...

Dearest Brother(s),
My(your) recent joining(merging) into the blogger community has been a complete(more than partial) success(I WIN!!).

so basically since you've seen me last I have documented my life via my shweet 3+ MegaTickle cell phone.

Here are my life in all her's glory!!

I was in a Japanese Newspaper for a rampage I went on but it was totally Hurricane Katrinas fault...



Then I felt bad and I was pressured by the Japanese Government to Give some blood to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort. And I got this free Tee-Shirt..

Katrina thought I was under-cutting her authority... She would...




After that I robbed the rug store I work at with a cardboard bazooka.... I was this close to blastin' the employees too, until I realized I was working that day and my cardboard bazooka was jammed because it was rained on the night before...


which brings me to my next point of analysis..... SHEMALES

I have known Kristin for a while... she lived above me last year..
we've been hangin out.. she is super cool, and she is sweet, and is in love with another man...
This Man Called Jesus.



so that is cool.. here are de pics.. here we are at the fair... on the "Fair-Is-Wheel"







And here she is looking through your computer screen over your right shoulder..... right now.

As you may have guessed, she is 5'1".

I have improved upon you 7 cubic bints of knowledge..
I love cardblorg.well so much im gonna live here and import bints upon bints of knowledge units into our mainface... to bulk up our mainframe.. sorry it's so random.. I'm fresh out of sequencial 8^/ and couldn't find any orderly....

PS :I made the column on the right smaller and the part where you see the posts (this column) bigger.. i thought it looked better... i figured out how to change little things... like how our title now has a gray background instead of a black one.. let me know what ya'll think 8^D

small house, big tv

Here's to living in a trailer and driving a corvette...to wearing a gucci suit with tube socks...to putting spinna's on your 1989 civic hatchback. The smaller the house the bigger the flat-screen TV looks...ohhh the ironing is delicious! Happiness is made of plasma.

Moving Out

Well,I had a meeting with Eli I told him I'd be his roomate. I'm happy, we get along well. We get all new furniture and a kick bottom TV. 40" Plasman with surround sound. It oughta be nice...even if it is a little small(house that is). Probably move in this weekend.
