Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

5 Comments on Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Let’s do this thing:

1. Homestead‘s LongHorn Steakhouse is now open for business, and I’ll start with the Crispy Chicken Trio. After that I’ll have the 9-ounce Flo’s Filet (medium well) with sweet potato with cinnamon and butter. For dessert I’ll partake in the Golden Nugget Fried Cheesecake. Who’s feelin’ what I’m feelin’ ?

2. The 18TH season finale of “Survivor: Tocantins” this past Sunday night was one of the best in the entire history of the series. I was so rooting for J.T. to win it all – and he did. When Jeff Probst revealed that 4TH vote declaring him the winner I totally jumped for joy right there in my living room. The best man won, and looking back in hindsight he was by far the best player during the course of the game.

3. I keep hearing me on the radio – morning, afternoon, evening, and late night. To be completely honest with everyone I am NOT tired of hearing myself talk on The CALL. I will never get tired of hearing me tell my testimonial to the world on how God rescued and saved me from the evil and darkness of my previous life. God saved me, and I am now reborn to Him. He can save you too – if you would just let Him. If you appreciate the life-changing work that The CALL is doing for God then THANK them by supporting them financially.

4. Last week I boldly forecasted 4 to 8 inches of rain this week. This just in. We’re almost there – at least most of us are. Over the past 3 days the immediate Homestead area has actually received the least amount of rain up and down the east coast of Florida, but we’re certainly catching up this afternoon. Let it rain !

5. This blog’s origins actually go back 16 years ago this week to May 21ST 1993. That’s when I created ‘MANx CAT BBS’ – a classic computer bulletin board system. It was during a wild pre-web era in which such relics of MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1 ruled the telephone lines and the 14.4 and the 28.8 modems of yesteryear. ‘MANx CAT BBS’ spun-off ‘MANx On The Net’ which evolved into the popular hit music web site that was ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM‘ which spun-off this blog (first on MySpace and then here on WordPress).

Those are my thoughts on this Tuesday night. I thank you for reading them.

Bedtime Stories

OK I’m doing a ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight because Ela wants me to, and that’s good enough reason to do so. (Sorry it took so long Ela.)

So this is where I simply ramble on in short paragraph form about whatever floats into my mind and then travels through my cells and nerves down to my fingers that are doing the talking via the keyboard.

I’ve got my first bold weather forecast of the new rainy season (that incidentally started this past Monday). I’m forecasting perhaps 4 to as much as 8 inches of rain (for Homestead) over the next 7 to 10 days. Let’s see how this plays out. We do need a soaker around these parts !

TODAY I picked-up Lunch at Checkers for the 2ND time in as many months – and pretty much the 2ND time in a real long time. This time I avoided their pitiful wings. I went with their meaty double champ burger with cheese, tasty seasoned fries (the best in the fast food business), and outrageously scrumptious cinnamon apple pies (2 for $1). I think this is my new once-a-month Lunch tradition.

I’m thinking about eating Breakfast at Denny’s tomorrow (Saturday) morning. I’m also dreaming of Mamma Mia on Sunday after Life Pointe Church.

This weekend I just want to eat, blog, watch TV, and relax. Is that so wrong ?

TONIGHT I spent another hour or so looking all throughout my ‘This Is Your Life’ photo album that my brother and his wife made for me for my birthday. I’m identifying classic pictures of me that could possibly get published on this blog for the entire world to see. I may feature a couple tomorrow night as I take the ‘Saturday Night Retro’ back 25 years ago to 1984.

Well that’s what’s happenin’ with me on this Friday night. Thank You everyone for taking the time to access and read this blog. This is my Life today, and I love to share it with you as we walk together on this fantastic journey. Take good care of yourselves, love one another, and be sure to check me out again sometime real soon. May God Bless you forever and ever.

– As I begin typing this blog entry it’s 10:12 PM CDT in North Texas.
– That makes it 11:12 PM EDT back home in America’s Riviera.
– I got in to DFW just before 5:30 PM CDT.
– The airport has more germs per square foot than any other place in the world.
– It doesn’t really matter what airport I’m talking about.
– I take that back because airplanes are even more germ-infested.
– Cough. Sneeze. Cough. Sneeze. Cough. Sneeze. It’s the soundtrack of my flight.
– Backpacks and suitcases of all shapes and sizes should be banned as carry-on.
– Those should be mandatory check-in items.
– I listened to my hits on my iPod Shuffle while inflight 7 miles above the ground.
– I even took a short cat nap.
– My brother and his wife picked me up, and we went directly to Fuddruckers.
– I haven’t eaten there since – the last time that I was here in the Dallas area.
– I had a half-pound bacon swiss cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles.
– That’s shredded lettuce, two tomato slices, and a mound of pickles.
– I don’t add any ketchup or mustard to Fuddruckers burgers.
– Tomorrow morning me and my brother are headed to the Dallas Zoo.
– Both of us plan to take a lot of pictures of us with the animals.
– I plan to pull a Kelly J. by posting an all-picture blog entry to mark the event.
– Tomorrow night is ‘Blogroll Review’ night.
– You’ve gotta be in it to win it.
– Make sure that you get your blogs updated between now and then.
– One of you reading this will win this week’s covetted ‘Major Bloggie Award’.
– Will it be you ?
– Well I’ve had a real long day today.
– I woke up shortly after 5 AM EDT this morning.
– That was nearly 19 hours ago.
– I’m ready to call it a day.
– Until we blog again peace be with you.
– And also with you.
