Rock Operas based on video games are awesome. If I had any musical talent whatsoever I would also write them. The end.

I have a doggy. This is what she looks like:

This is the doggy I'm sitting this week:

My doggy, Suzi, does not like the puppy Ginger (which is my sister's boyfriend's). This will be a fun week!

Here is a pic of the world's cutest nephew (Brian Matthew Hall Jr. aka JB aka Jub Jub) and me. You may notice that he likes my shirt; I plan on raising him well. And that's his Momma in the background.

Did anyone else watch the superbowl halftime show and get to experience Bruce Springsteen's crotch flying into their living room?

My choice.
For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

-I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
-What I create will be just for you.
-It'll be done this year. No guarantees when; it will be a total surprise!
-You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something. Who knows?
-I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
-When you comment, please include your favorite color. I may use this information, or maybe not. Depends on my mood. ;)

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to repost this, and repost right away.

February 13th, 2006 on my old FadedFailure blog:

"Today I passes 5,000 songs on my iTunes. I feel pleased and dorkish at the same time."

I now have 10,630 songs on my compy. That's almost 50 GBs of music. I feel pleased, dorkish, and a smidge illegal now ;)

my last week

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 04:27:27 GMT

Last Sunday was the windstorm from hell. I went into work at 1 with the weather being muggy and stale outside. 4 hours later I emerge from the mall to hurricane winds in Ohio. I drive home looking at all the tree limbs and run-away trash cans. I go to church for choir practice. While singing I peer out the windows every time the wind bursts. After choir practice I run the sound for the lil' kids choir. Power goes out before I get to run a single song, so I stay in the sanctuary and watch the tree line between the church and our house (the parsonage) sway violently too and fro. While I'm watching the Sunday evening prayer service starts in the sunlit foyer of the church; I watch two trees fall across my driveway while in silent prayer. After the short service, I brave the elements to get to my car and luckily I can drive around the downed trees to make it to the safety of my garage. I notice a metal plate in my yard along with vinyl siding. I search my house for their origins: the metal plate came from the top of one of my chimneys and the siding is from one of the corners of the house. I put the wreckage in my garage and go scope out the fallen trees. I know they are too big to move by myself but I try to drag one anyway. I'm getting pelted by pine cones with every rush of the wind. I go inside the sunlit house to wait out the wind and hope that the power would soon return. I stay away from the windows, fearful that the next burst of wind will surely send shrapnel flying. It gets dark and I drag out the candles. I try to read but I'm much more fascinated with the sound of the rushing wind. I get in touch with my wife; thank God the cell phones still work. She comes home before midnight and we go to bed, windows open, sounds of cars and secadas. Thankfully my parents have power and running water, so we spend the next few days there until our power is restored on Thursday.

Morons. Not because they're faking religion (fake religion is America's national religion) but because they're not letting their children get vaccinated. The morons' reasons for not letting their children be vaccinated? "It could overwhelm their bodies" and "I felt that the risk of the vaccine was worse than the risk of the actual disease." Seriously. And is it right for states to make law that children must get vaccinated before entering preschool? Heck yes. Vaccinations not only protect the vaccinated but the ones the vaccinated come in contact with. This disturbs me greatly and that's probably due to the fact that I'll hopefully be getting children in the next decade. "Fortunately" for Ohioans, parents can opt their children out of vaccinations not only for religious reasons, but for the more "educated" personal or philosophical reasons. Some aruge that humanity is growing smarter every generation...the rest shake their heads.

Huh, four months have passed since my last post in the long-lost livejournal. Marriage was 2 months away then and now I've been married for 2 months. So, what do I say now? I say that you, whoever you are, find the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with; you're going to be waking up with that person for the rest of your life; you're going to have to put that person's needs above some of your wants; you're going to show your worst side to them and they'll show you theirs. Marriage is a work in progress, but it is a beautiful work.

Marriage. One of the many things that I wasn't sure I would do in my lifetime, and now my wedding is two months away. Am I supposed to be wondering if this is the right thing I should be doing? Mel is the girl for me, and I know that, but marriage is big. This will be the biggest thing I've done in my life and the biggest thing I'll do for a while....wow
