Friday Night Blogroll Review

It’s time for the 24TH edition of the weekly celebration of blogs that is the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. It’s my way of giving back to my favourite bloggers and my favourite blogs of this past week. THANKS for entertaining me !

Travis states that communities of and relationships with Christ-loving friends are almost always the front door to the drawing and convicting power of the Holy Spirit. It’s one of the vehicles that can get you to God real easily.

Phil’s version of my original ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ is done every Thursday, and it has a different clever name to it every week. This week it was the ‘Thoughts Benedict’, and it was P.J.’s way of alerting the entire world that he was indeed sick and tired this past week. Once he got that off his chest the depression continued with his take on a couple of natural disasters over in Asia. Maybe we’ll get some happier thoughts next Thursday.

Check out this Pastor – this revolutionary – this world-changer – this passionate follower of Jesus.

I love to pose for pictures and then ultimately hit the big-time – the cover of Kelly’s blog !

Luciana enjoyed a beautiful Mother’s Day !

Nathan wraps-up ‘The Moment Of Truth’ message series this Sunday morning at 10:29 AM at InDependence Church in Weston Florida with an actual working polygraph machine in the house of God. No lie !  I’ve got to check this out !

Harmony totally burst out into uncontrollable laughter right in the middle of the produce section of her favourite grocery store. This was the direct result of seeing something so bizarre that it could only happen in Weston Florida. Check out what could be the funniest blog entry of the season !

Blatant Promotion

Last week on the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ we exposed a developing hoax in which an E-Mail states that a list of businesses have filed for bankruptcy, so you best run don’t walk to those places ASAP to use your gift cards for them before they become worthless. The list (naturally) includes stores that have not filed for bankruptcy, and future variations of the E-Mail are expected to include even more stores that have not filed for bankruptcy.

An Internet hoax is like gossip. It evolves as it expands.

This week on the ‘Hall-Of-Shame’ it’s all about an E-Mail that’s currently circulating all over the world accusing gas stations of intentionally cheating at their gas pumps by showing more gallons of gas being pumped than what is actually being received by the vehicle (thus inflating the overall cost of the fill-up).

You’re not gonna believe what your local gas station may (or may not) be doing to you right before your very eyes. Grab your crew and be sure to catch this EXPLOSIVE edition of the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. It goes LIVE here on the blog shortly after 5 PM EDT here on the U.S. East Coast. You’re not gonna wanna miss it !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

You’ve been waiting about 168 hours for this to come around again, and so here it is. LIVE IT UP !

1.  We were treated with a rare mid-May cold front here in South Florida late last night. After sizzing hot temperatures approaching the mid-90s over the past several days we plummeted down to the refreshing low-60s (!) this morning, and this afternoon we’re struggling to reach the mid-80s !  I dig that !

2.  Call me crazy, but “Cotton Eye Joe” by Rednex may just be the greatest hillbilly techno smash ever made. You can watch the original 1994 music video of it via my ‘Bedtime Stories’ from last night.

3.  Last week’s ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ became our most-read blog entry ever within about 48 hours of its posting. Many of the top search engine terms that have brought all of this big-city rush hour traffic over to my blog include the stores Bed Bath & Beyond and Circuit City – and the words ‘bankruptcy’ and ‘hoax’. Thank You fans of both of those stores for discovering my blog and realizing that it is indeed an Internet hoax. Your stores are open for business. We’re actually getting a brand new Circuit City right here in Homestead !

4.  I ate more popcorn in one sitting at Travis and Kelly‘s house this past Sunday night during the “Survivor Micronesia” finale than in any other previous sitting in quite possibly my entire life and Life. I actually don’t like to eat popcorn, but once I get started with it I become addicted to it. 250 kernels of popcorn later …

5.  The grass is always greener where the sprinklers are – and where the dogs go to play.

6.  I gave blood this morning at a local medical facility in Downtown Homestead. The lady that drew the blood knew what she was doing. She had that needle in and out of my arm cleanly in no time flat. She got what she needed, and I was on my way with no pain or jaundice this time around.

7.  I wasn’t at work from 6 to 10 AM this morning, and during that time I was a wanted man. It seems that everyone needed me and nothing was working right during my absence. Lines began to form around me upon my arrival at work. I nearly had to issue out numbers on little paper tabs.

8.  I enjoyed Breakfast with my blogging brothers Travis and Phil this morning at the Cracker Barrel in Florida City (where all the food is). We mainly discussed blogging and bloggers. Travis and I agreed that LL Phil J’s blog is being subsidized by both of our blogs. It’s all good.

9.  Incidentally I totally adore eating MASSIVE meals with buddies who also adore eating MASSIVE meals. If you’re gonna sit at my table at the restuarant then you best be eatin’ good in the neighbourhood. That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout !

10.  I’m grabbing at straws for this week’s 10TH ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thought’, and that begs me to wonder why would you grab a bunch of straws in the first place ?  If you’re indecisive and don’t know what to do or where to go next then just do something. Put the straws down, and seize that moment. It could be the moment that defines your future and determines how everything else will evolve from that moment forward. Know what I mean, Gene ?

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends !  We’ve made it – to the 44TH edition of the continuing late-night saga that is the ‘Bedtime Stories’ here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’. Incidentally when I revitalized this blog and gave it a new look a couple of weeks ago the subtitle of this blog mysteriously dropped off. You may recall that it read ‘The Life & Times Of Major Hitwaves (AKA Chris M. Day)’. I didn’t remove that subtitle. This new blog design theme simply doesn’t display it. So now you know what happened there – for the few of you that actually noticed it missing.

I get to stay up late tonight (sort of). There will be no 5:15 AM wake-up call for me tomorrow morning. I’m gonna be a daredevil on-the-edge and set my alarm clock for a mad crazy 6:00 AM !  I don’t have to be at work at 6 AM, but I do have to be at a local medical facility later on in the morning to give blood as part of ‘Operation Reduce Bad Cholesterol By 40% In 2008’. This will be the first blood work that will be done since I’ve been on the Lipitor, so we’ll see how that goes. Right after I dump the blood I’m speeding over to the Cracker Barrel to eat my MASSIVE meal of the day (Breakfast in lieu of Lunch). There’s a tall stack of French Toast that’s waiting for me over there with my name on it written in pure butter !

Be sure to hang out with me on the blog tomorrow afternoon for your weekly ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. You just never know what could be on my mind on a Tuesday night. It’s the most spontaneous blog entry of the week. It should go LIVE shortly after 5 PM EDT.

Until we meet again have yourself a safe, peaceful, and blessed Monday night with your loved ones, and – oh yeah – remember this:
