Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

You waited 168 hours for this ?  Let’s see if it was all worth it.

1.  Last week was the biggest week in history for this blog. Nowadays we are averaging more than double the amount of unique hits to this blog in a typical Monday to Sunday week than we were less than 3 months ago. Today (Tuesday) became the biggest Tuesday ever in the history of this blog before I even turned on my computer this afternoon !  THANK YOU FRIENDS !

2.  Speaking of friends Pastor Travis called me ‘clueless’ in his blog today, and it’s the nicest complement I’ve received all day. I’ll accept the complement because I did a much better job late last night before I went to sleep talking all about Trav to God. Trav is one of the most sensible persons that I have ever met in my entire life / Life.

3.  Paul – There’s no need to be jealous. The person that was going to take me out to Lunch for my birthday today fell ill and had to postpone it, so I ended up eating ‘grocery store grub’ from Publix. Actually it was rather decent tasty – chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, and juicy corn. YUM !

4.  Yesterday (Monday) I went to Panda Express (spur-of-the-moment decision) for Lunch and I received poor service. As usual they had little to no selection of foods available to choose from for the various entrees. I completed and submitted a survey online stating my dissatisfaction with their Lunch service and product. We’ll see if it gets any better in future visits. If the customer service and the food selection doesn’t improve then I’ll just stop going there.

5.  Speaking of the Atlanta Bread Company in Homestead I have received no follow-up communication from Corporate Headquarters in Smyrna Georgia as of yet – more than 80 hours after the fact. Apparently they have no Assimilation / Follow-Up Director.

6.  I was extremely shy as a kid. I didn’t talk a lot. The reason why is because when I did talk nobody was listening and nobody cared to listen. I pretty much lived through a sad and miserable childhood. My little brother was one of the first persons in my entire life that actually listened to what I had to say and was genuinely interested. If it weren’t for my little brother then I may not be here today.

7.  One of the highlights of my day is looking out my personal hurricane-proof window at work that faces due east and watching the sun rise above the horizon. I adore the daylight. I adore chasing it. It’s morning again !

8.  I spent close to 45 minutes at Office Max yesterday and I only spent $8.75 (including tax). The fact of the matter is that I could have spent 3 hours browsing around in that store and $500 or more on quality office merchandise. But I showed real restraint in there. I’m a member of the Christian Conservative Coalition. Yeah – I’m one of those wackos – and PROUD of it !

9.  When Staples opens its doors for business later this year over at the MASSIVE new Homestead Pavilion shopping, dining, and entertainment complex I may hang out there like I own the place !  I’m crazy about office supplies like that.

10.  Exactly 5 months ago this morning – on January 03RD 2008 – Homestead was shivering just a few degrees above the freezing mark. It was in the 30s outside for 8 hours, and in the 40s for an additional 8 hours. It was our coldest morning in nearly 12 years !  I just wanted to remind you of that now that we’re clearly in the bug-infested hot and humid summertime rainy season.

TOMORROW on the big blog I’ll have your ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. It’s the most spontaneous blog entry of the entire week. I have absolutely no clue what I plan to blog about – until I actually sit down here at my ancient laptop and let my fingers do the talking. It could be lame, obvious, sensible, surprising, controversial, shocking, or horrifying !  Be sure to grab your crew and send them on over to this blog tomorrow afternoon at around 4 PM for this weekly escapade through my brain.

I’m being taken out to Lunch for my birthday tomorrow at the White Lion Cafe. It’s Homestead’s finest restaurant, and perhaps the only joint in town that can qualify as ‘fine dining’. I’ll probably definitely have a few words to say about my culinary experience on tomorrow’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’, so consider yourself warned. Don’t miss it. You won’t regret it pal. Keep it real.

Bedtime Stories

Greetings my friends. It’s the Friday night edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ – right here – right now.

I’m currently watching the 81ST Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee LIVE from Washington D.C. on ABC-TV. I totally dig this event. Most people I know use a spell-checker. I am a spell-checker !  Yeah I said it. 

I’ll probably go to sleep tonight at around 11 PM. Friday nights are generally the only night of the week where I feel comfortable enough to stay up just a little bit later than the other 6 nights of the week. It’s because I can pretty much wake up whenever I feel like it on Saturday mornings. I can’t do that on any other morning during a typical week.

I may be taking my ‘Great American Saturday Morning MASSIVE Breakfast Tour’ to The Atlanta Bread Company for the first time ever tomorrow morning. 7 weeks ago I tried this, and I failed miserably because I got there at 7:30 AM. I thought I got there a full hour after they opened for business. As it turns out I actually got there 30 minutes before they opened at 8 AM. I may give them another shot of my business tomorrow morning. I want a Ham & Swiss Omelette !  😛

Be sure to catch the ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ tomorrow morning as I blog all about my MASSIVE breakfast. The unimpressive story on why I stopped making coffee in 1989 will not be blogged about tomorrow morning. It is so unremarkable that it may simply be a mere statement on a future edition of the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’.

Have a safe, peaceful, and relaxing evening with your loved ones everyone, and until I catch you on the flip side remember this:

Friday Night Blogroll Review

EVERY Friday is Thanksgiving here on the blog, as I give thanks to these wonderful bloggers and their respective blogs:

Pastor Travis describes the vast diversity that is South Florida, Miami-Dade County, Homestead / Florida City, and Life Pointe Church. Take a look around. This is what heaven looks like.

LL Phil J presented his ‘Basketful Of Thoughts’ on a Thursday. In his spare time P.J. watches the NBA, plays the Wii, and tweets about the weather.

Kid Alex lost his mad grillz.

Diego is rockin’ a fresh new haircut !  His dad Jesse is kickin’ it old school like it’s 1988 !

Luci writes about ‘Our Father God (who) Is Awesome’.

Pastor Nathan gives us an update as to the goings-on of InDependence Church in Weston Florida. In July they begin a fresh new message series entitled ‘I Became A Christian And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt’.

If you’re in to the MMA then you’ve just gotta dig my little brother’s detailed review of it all.

THANK YOU BLOGGERS !
