Tonight, I want to drink beer, tighten my...
When I first wrote that a minute ago, I figured the tightening of the sphincter was metaphorical, since I’ll be nervous, but then I liked the double-meaning of staving off elimination in both Game 7 and in my bowels, so, take it as you will.

I wish you could distinguish 'heart' from 'heart'
You know, the same way you can distinguish mind from brain.
The Return.
ttothentothec:
A house centipede crawled out of the bathroom vent just as I was about to get in the shower a few minutes ago… so of course I did what any sensible, manly, man would do in that situation: I jumped up onto the toilet and covered it up with a plunger. Note to anyone who might our bathroom- there’s an enormous alien creature under the plunger.
One…more…week…
Grossery.
Man, can we just get that farmers’ market open or what?

Choose carefully.
I have a strange feeling the world is ending up a lot like LOST.
Google is to Jacob as Facebook is to the man in black as Apple is to Widmore.
A war is coming to the island.
What I think about at 5am
numbersnmumbles:
Sometimes I think that watching a romantic comedy is what going to see a motivational speaker must feel like.
I was stalking your blog and I think this applies to the best love songs in the world, too.
Dear God,
Can I go back and live in the 1960s?

This is how it works: You’re young until you’re not You love until you don’t You try until you can’t You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath No, this is how it works: You peer inside yourself You take the things you like And try to love the things you took And then you take that love you made And stick...
Peace
Paul describes God’s peace as, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)
Transcends all understanding. Try to think about peace. Any peace you’ve known or can imagine. Total world peace. No war, no conflict, no nothing.
Think you can understand that, at least in theory?
Well,...

Birthday Thoughts.
I realized today that I don’t have hair on the very tops of my kneecaps.
If you’re going to sneeze, you might as well sneeze loudly.
Actions > Words.
Music helps remind me that I indeed exist.
Hockey deserves much better treatment by sports media, especially playoff hockey.
How can life seem so short and so long at the same time?
LeBron James is really good at basketball.

May sings me to sleep.
How can I make it right, Be like the sun - born to shine, In a world full of sorrow and pain, How can I renew again? And I tell ya about the damage done, Nobody thought to think before the axe was swung, And I know I’ve done my share Of taking for granted something that was there.

Stream of consciousness about the way we were.
There’s something beautiful about the way we used to live. Not you and I, but the way people used to live.
Sunrise meant there was work to be done. Sundown meant there was rest to be had. Burning the midnight oil was for reading your Bible, a good book, or writing a letter. Music was not meant to be recorded, but to be played with friends and family and danced to. Generations held up in one...
Every introvert needs his extrovert.
I think I'd like to write fables.

Love can change the world.
There’s a fine balance between feeling too much and feeling too little. I think I’ve experienced both and am still trying to figure out how to be a healthy, fulfilled human being.
There’s also a fine balance between feeling too much in your head and too much in your heart. I think maybe I’ve never felt too little, but I’ve felt in the wrong way. My head works far too...
Dad.
Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. Hopefully he’ll be spending it at home.
The day after Easter, he went to the doctor because he was having trouble breathing. The docs diagnosed him with pleurisy and sent him home with some antibiotics. Tuesday, his stomach started getting bloated and painful and by Thursday, my mom took him to the emergency room. There, he was diagnosed with pneumonia...
Movie.
The word movie is stupid. You can replace it with film if something is shot and captured onto film, or video if something is shot and captured most other ways (digital or analog).
Movie is one of those annoying words that was developed because people were too lazy to say an entire word or phrase, moving (or motion) picture.
So the next time you get annoyed when someone says,...
I think I've got a new lease on life.
Lust isn’t just a sexual thing. Lust is a way of viewing the world - a way of viewing relationships, interactions, and creation.
For the past few years, I have been one of the most lustful people I know. That said, lust isn’t exactly something one talks about openly, but what is a blog other than to talk about yourself right?
Lust most often permeates itself in sexual thoughts and...

And then I will shut up about this.
Here’s a reason why I think a high school senior could make an NFL roster right out of high school:
As a freshman at Oklahoma, Adrian Peterson rushed for 1925 yards and 15 touchdowns while playing in the Big 12. He was the first freshman finalist for the Heisman trophy ever, finishing second to Matt Leinart.
In 2007, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Kolby...

A trip down Photo Booth memory lane.
For only having 156 photos saved on mine, I sure have a lot of memories. Thirteen good ones, to be exact. As I gear up to move out of Watson and into another chapter of my life, the MacBook chapter, for the next week I’ll post a picture or two a day, reliving the life of my iMac.
Whatever happened, happened.

Some Scatterbrained Thoughts.
Why can’t I recognize Jesus in mainstream Christianity? Is it because Jesus was so radical in his life and teachings that any group of people that attempt to fit Him into mainstream culture have obviously missed the point?
Jesus was neither conservative nor liberal. He was apolitical. He challenged the political and religious authorities until they decided they had to kill him to shut him...
In the wee small hours of the morning, While the whole wide world is fast asleep, You lie awake and think about the girl, And never ever think of counting sheep. When your lonely heart has learned its lesson, You’d be hers if only she would call. In the wee small hours of the morning, That’s the time you miss her most of all.
First, the Yankees...
…now Duke? God must be trying to teach me something.
