Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

1.  I’m starting this week’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ at 6:21 PM. That’s the latest that I think I’ve ever started it. I just got home from a long 12-hour day of work here and here.

2.  Jesse says that there’s one Mexican restaurant in particular that serves their food above all of the rest, and that’s really saying something for a place like Homestead where there’s a Mexican restaurant on practically every other block. Maybe one day Jesse will take his closest friends (including me) over to this place to experience the real deal.

3.  Jesse also says that Hooters makes some of the best wings in the free nation. Since I don’t go to Hooters I encouraged Jesse to go out and get us a whole bunch of those amazing wings and then bring them back home to Homestead to share with his closest friends (including me).

4.  Google may be the runaway # 1 smash Internet search engine in the universe, but I hardly ever use it. I prefer Yahoo. I’ve always been a fan of Yahoo – even before it became a household name.

5.  Lysol disinfectant kills viruses, bacteria, mold, and mildew. It kills 99.9% of germs in 30 seconds. I know a whole bunch of public places in and around Homestead that could use a good soaking of Lysol daily !  I wonder what’s the deal with the remaining 0.1% of germs. Does Lysol kill them as well, but it just takes longer than 30 seconds ?

6.  A lot of great pop music came out during the Summer of 1998. I just took a look at my # 1 hits from my once successful music web site during June, July, August, and September of exactly a decade ago, and it brought back a lot of good times and memories from that era. I think I hung out with my little brother a lot during that fun Summer.

7.  I’ll be hanging out with my little brother in just about a month at the River Walk en San Antonio. I’m looking forward to it. It’ll never be as good as ‘the good old days’, but it’ll still be good enough. Any time with my little brother is precious time.

8.  I hope that John McCain selects Mike Huckabee as his running mate, but the fact of the matter is that I will vote for John McCain no matter who he selects as his Vice Presidential running mate.

9.  I prefer paper clips over staples. That reminds me. I need to get on over to Office Depot to buy some more paper clips of assorted shapes and sizes.

10.  I’m ending this week’s ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ at 7:12 PM. It took me less than an hour to come up with everything that you just read within this blog entry. That’s how spontaneous this is. I had nothing before I started, and now I have this creation. I created this masterpiece, and I used the skills that were provided to be by my Creator – the Creator of all things that exist – God. He’s good like that. He’s amazing like that. There is no one and no thing that is greater than Him !

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Sunny & Clear
Temperature: 78°F
Relative Humidity: 67%
Winds: E 9 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 29.97 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  NO – Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is really an edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’. I just had to take advantage of this extremely unusual cool and dry air over Homestead this late in the winter season (which incidentally I forecasted with precision accuracy nearly a week ago). When dewpoints reach the lower-60s in late-May in Homestead you just know that you are living through a strange weather phenomenon. Of course if you have no clue what a dewpoint is then you probably just think that it’s really sunny outside !  8)

2.  Before I even ventured on this ‘Walk-A-Thon’ I went over to Florida City (where all of the food is), and I ate the mother of all MASSIVE breakfasts to end all MASSIVE breakfasts big and small – at Denny’s !  I walked in, I was treated with love, care, and respect, and I ate one of the biggest meals that I can remember in recent short-term memory. Everything was just oh-so-perfect with this breakfast experience – including the environment, the surrounding clientele, and the rockin’ music that was playing in the background. I think I found my new favourite breakfast hang-out joint on future Saturday (or holiday) mornings.

3.  I ate so much food that I just had to walk it all off, and so I did via a basic ‘old-school’ standard-issue 1.3-mile walk around the circumference of my beautiful neighbourhood. I did the walk in a little more than 23½-minutes, and I walked to the fantastic beat of my glorious Christian rock, pop, and hip hop music on my green 2GB iPod Shuffle. Editorial Comment Alert – If I were the Music Director of the main lobby of Life Pointe Church on Sunday mornings then I would play my iPod Shuffle in lieu of the current music selection on the iPod that has been played endlessly for about a year now. But that’s just me.

4.  One side of Lakeshore’s dumpsters were clean and empty. The other side were dirty, full, and overflowing onto the ground. Gee I wonder which side the City Of Homestead hasn’t gotten to yet ? !  The north side is anxiously awaiting with baited breath the emptying of our dumpsters.

5.  I guarantee at least one more edition of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ this Summer – on location from the River Walk in San Antonio Texas. Look for it during the week of the 4TH Of July.

Friday Night Blogroll Review

The reviews are in, and the consensus states that you absolutely adore the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. All of my blogging friends from Homestead to Weston are waiting with baited breath to see which one of their blog entries from this past week are being elevated to ‘elite’ status. Check it out:

Travis wrote a thought-provoking article on ‘Control Vs. Growth’. It’s all about organization and being in control. It made me feel self-conscious. I’m a self-admitted perfectionist – occasionally to the point of being anal-retentive about it. This personality defect of mine (that’s what it is) has been my downfall in life, but fortunately it is slowly fading away as I continue my venture on God’s fantastic journey for me. If you knew me 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 years ago and you compared me then with who I am today then you would totally concur with me. God is now in control of a whole bunch of stuff that I used to have a firm grip on.

In his ‘Hard Boiled Thoughts’ P.J. is complaining about the heat again. How long has he lived aqui en el Sur de Florida ?

Jesse finally got his Florida driver’s license. Welcome to the club !

Kourtney, McKenna, and Blake welcome you to Kelly’s family blog.

Luci states that ‘God Is All We Need’. Father – God bless all of my friends and loved ones in whatever it is that You know they may be needing on this day. May their life be full of your peace, prosperity, and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. I pray for this in the loving and caring name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pastor Nathan is preparing for his next manly message series at InDependence Church by watching the MMA late at night. All of the InDependence dudes better be ready at 10:29 AM on Sunday morning !

Take a lovely pictorial tour of Owen’s school at home.

Bedtime Stories

It’s 8:44 PM on a Wednesday night as I begin tonight’s edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’, and I’m gearing up for a MASSIVE day at work – a MASSIVE day of meetings !  I’m actually looking forward to it, as my career renaissance continues. The past 10 months has been the best 10 months (by far) of my entire 23-year Air Force / Department Of Defense career. It goes hand-in-hand with the best 21 months of my entire Life. I look back at August 2006 as the official month of my ‘Awakening’. It’s been ready-set-GO ! ever since being reborn on God’s fantastic journey for me.

Friday kicks-off the long Memorial Day holiday weekend, and I’m not going anywhere special. I’ll be right here blogging up a storm, so hang out with me if you have no special plans that will whisk you away to some exotic land far far away with no Internet access.

Tomorrow on the blog it’s our top-rated weekly feature – the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. Tomorrow I promise you no long horrific chain letter E-Mail that most of us already know is bogus. Instead I bring you a picture – a picture of an adorable cat – an adorable cat that measures 5 feet 9 inches in length and weighs in at 87 pounds !  Is it for real ?  Gather up your crew and surf on over to the blog tomorrow afternoon to see for yourself !

Don’t forget about the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ where I go public with my favourite blog entries of the week from my favourite bloggers that are near and dear to me. I’m pretty sure that this dude and this dude and this dude will be on there, and I’ve also reserved a spot for this girl and this girl.

So that’s what’s comin’ up over the next 48 hours here on the blog. Have a wonderful Wednesday night everyone, and until we blog again remember this:
