– My extended 87-hour 42ND birthday celebration weekend has commenced.
– This is Hour # 2.
– I have a date with Glenn Beck tonight.
– I have a feeling that I will agree with most of what he has to say.
– He reminds me of a young Rush Limbaugh.
– Rush Rules !
– Tomorrow morning I continue a birthday week tradition.
– That’s right kids – I’m getting my annual eye exam done.
– That means that I’ll be blind for HOURS tomorrow.
– My pupils will be dillated no doubt.
– I’ll look like a stoner.
– Guess I’ll just have to hang out at T-G-I-Fridays while that’s goin’ on.
– My eye doctor is at The Falls.
– I thought that I needed to clarify that.
– I wish that we had a T-G-I-Fridays aqui en Homestead.
– The joint would be jumpin’.
– You should have seen the line in front of the new Olive Garden yesterday.
– It extended out from the front door and wrapped around the parking lot.
– There were HUNDREDS in line looking for a job.
– A little over a hundred will be hired.
– I can’t wait for Olive Garden to open up.
– That way I can finally eat at the LongHorn SteakHouse !
– It’s really cool to see places here in Homestead totally PACKED !
– The sudden death of Homestead was greatly exaggerated.
– Don’t mess with my hometown.
– I’ll defend it.
– I have nearly 22 out of my 42 years invested in this place.
– That’s a half a lifetime !
– Well that’s about all for now.
– Those are my Mini Thoughts for this Thursday night.
– I sincerely thank you for spending a few minutes with me reading these.
– Go forth and live your Life to its fullest.
– You won’t regret it pal.
Month: June 2009
Virtually all of the music that I listen to today on the radio is from artists that I had never heard of prior to the start of this 1,000+ day journey during the Summer of 2006. In fact they are all from a music genre that I didn’t really know existed until my Rebirthing. It’s the Christian Rock genre, and it’s hit music produced, written, and performed by followers of Jesus Christ. Their music can be louder, harder, and rougher than that of their secular counterparts, but this is music with a positive message – a Godly message. Even in music – it is all about Him.
Here’s one such hard rocker. It’s one of my all-time favourite songs of my fantastic journey thus far. It’s “Fading Away” from Demon Hunter, and it’s in the lyrics:
If a Tuesday night ever goes by without me posting my ‘Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ with no advance explanation whatsoever then please call the cops because something bad must have happened to me !
1. For the first time since the mid-1980s I am NOT watching “The Tonight Show” on NBC-TV. Johnny Carson was the King of Late Night, and Jay Leno followed-up admirably for 17 years. I rarely missed a show (on tape). I am NOT a fan of Conan O’Brien. Nothing personal. I just don’t like his unique style of comedy. I’ll be awaiting “The Jay Leno Show” weeknights this Fall at 10 PM.
2. “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here !“, and I’m so addicted – all over again ! I was actually one of the few fans of the original 2003 ABC-TV incarnation of the show, and here we go again in 2009 with more D-List celebrities out in the jungle again. I reserve the right to remain silent regarding my opinions on apparent Christians Heidi and Spencer.
3. Dude the “Ice Road Truckers” are back in action on History, and my Sunday nights this Summer are now so totally complete. It’s the most riveting one-hour of television for me every single week. It’s my adrenaline rush on a Sunday night, and it’s probably the last thing I need right before I go to sleep prior to the start of another new work week.
4. Homestead Air Reserve Base received 13.01 inches of rain during the second-half of May. That’s more rain than the base received combined during the 7½ months prior to that going back to the start of last October. As it turns out it was one of the wettest Mays in modern recorded history. What a wild way to end one of the dryest of dry seasons in modern recorded history.
5. My extended 87-hour 42ND birthday celebration weekend commences in less than 48 hours this Thursday afternoon at 1530 local. That’s 3:30 PM to those of you non-military types (2:30 PM Central / 1:30 PM Mountain / 12:30 PM Pacific). I’ve got what is expected to be a totally crammed weekend of events that are now piled up high just as soon as the long weekend begins for me. But even that is no excuse to abandon my blogging ministry, so be sure to stick around and watch what happens ! You won’t regret it pal.
