Blatant Promotion

OK I feel better now. I just wrapped-up the majority of my packing for my upcoming vacation. It’s either in my suitcase or in my carry-on bag. If it’s not in either of those two then I’m either not bringing it or I still need to use it between now and Saturday morning. Some people do all of their packing an hour or two before they leave – or the night before. I do most of my packing at least 36 to 48 hours in advance, and then I use that time in-between to ensure that I didn’t forget anything. I’m organized like that.

So anyway tomorrow is a special day here on the big blog. It’s ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ time. It’s where I give back to some of my favourite bloggers in the blogosphere. Check out some of my favourite blog entries of this past week. You won’t regret it pal.

Then on Saturday be sure to check out my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ which will probably be all about my crazy adventures from Homestead to MIA to DFW to Allen Texas on Saturday morning. Look for it on here on Saturday night.

On Sunday I present to you a very special off-season edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ LIVE from the River Walk en San Antonio.

It’s all comin’ up this weekend – right here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’.

Have a cool and relaxing Thursday night everyone, and until we hang out again on here remember this:

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

HOW TO COOK A RAW EGG WITH TWO CELL PHONES:

An Egg Between Two Cell Phones

A Soft-Boiled Egg

Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates.

The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the (first) picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to the phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.

After 15 minutes the egg became slightly warm. After 25 minutes it became very warm. After 40 minutes it became very hot. After 65 minutes it was cooked !

IMAGINE THE DAMAGE YOU’RE DOING TO YOURSELF EVERY TIME YOU USE A CELL PHONE !

IMAGINE THIS BEING … AN INTERNET HOAX !

Bedtime Stories

What a crazy day it was today. During a 15½-hour time-span away from home from 5:50 AM to 9:20 PM here’s what I did (in a nutshell):

1.  I went to work.

2.  I attended a nice retirement luncheon at work (picnic-style outside) for a lady / colleague who has worked at the base since the mid-1970s. The base is losing a financial wizard as she walks off into the sunset.

3.  I drove straight from work over to the Life Pointe Church offices in old historic uptown Homestead. Venus and I will be starring in this Sunday’s promotional video for the continuing ‘Got Funk ?’ message series. I won’t be there to see it world premiere on the big screen this Sunday morning (showtimes at approximately 9:25 and 10:55), but I’m pretty sure that you crazy cats will tell me all about it here on my blog on Sunday afternoon. I must warn you though that this latest creation from Fuser Films Of Homestead (Jesse S.) is somewhat scandalous and downright shocking. You’re not gonna believe what comes out of my mouth in the acting role of a lifetime. This is what all of Life Pointe Church is going to be talking about out in the main lobby after both services !  You’re not gonna wanna miss it pal.

4.  From the LPC offices I drove straight over to Anne J.’s and J.T.’s house for Life Group. Tonight was ‘Fellowship Night’, so we enjoyed lots of food and fun and games. We played Outburst. My team (which included Venus, Nicole, Willie, and J.T. lost 62-60). It was a lot of fun though, and that’s what really matters.

5.  I got home late tonight, and I realized that I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday afternoon after I get home from work in preparation for my upcoming vacation – such as doing laundry and packing. I shall GIT-R-DONE !

But right now all I’m thinking about is getting some rest, so I’ll be shutting everything down and doing just that over the next 45 minutes or so. Have a wonderful Wednesday evening everyone, and be sure to catch me again on here tomorrow night for your ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. It’s the one that’s gonna make you tremble in fear – or not !

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Anne J. !

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

DOUBLE FEATURE !

  • ‘Look forward to great fortune and a new lease on life.’
  • ‘You have an ambitious nature and may make a name for yourself.’

BOTH of these fortune cookie messages totally apply to me. As far as the great fortune and the new lease on Life is concerned – YES – I can truthfully sit here tonight and emphatically state that I have been enjoying God’s plentiful fruits of great fortune ever since my previous life died. All bad things must come to an end, and so it did. He saved me, and I was reborn again to begin a brand new Life on His fantastic journey. I think that the second fortune cookie message is the result of this vibrant new Life. For the past 22 months I have finally had real purpose in my Life. I am Fully Alive. I have finally made a positive name for myself after being a lifeless mannequin for the first 39 years on God’s Great Earth.

This is one of my favourite verses in the Good News:
1 Peter 1:23 (NLT) – For you have been born again. Your new Life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new Life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
