OK honorary club members – Here’s this week’s message straight from my fortune cookie to my blog:
‘You are known for being quick in action and decisions.’
YES – That’s me. It seems that the longer I go in trying to make a decision the less desirable the outcome is. It’s the quicker decisions and the actions that go along with them that generally seem to work out the best.
I know what you want. Here it is:
1. Tuesday nights have become ‘me’ nights at home. On Mondays I’m typically away from home for 13+ hours with work and the weekly staff meeting at Life Pointe Church. On Wednesdays I only have about 3 hours at home after work and before Life Group. But Tuesdays when I get home I stay home and catch up with stuff. It’s my ‘fun’ day – my ‘I don’t have to run’ day !
2. TODAY I extended my ‘fun’ day by 4 hours and worked just a half a day. I went to Target for the first time since perhaps last December, and I went on a 90-minute shopping spree. Actually for the amount of time that I was scouring that store I didn’t really buy too many items (17). I could have really gone wild and bought 35 items !
3. Standing right behind me at the same checkout counter at Target ? – This fellow LPC Blogger Extraordinare.
4. If we had a Target that was closer to home then I’d probably shop there at least once every couple of weeks or so instead of once or twice a year.
5. Jesse wants to see “Step Brothers” with me.
6. I’m having a lot of fun and learning a lot too with my fresh new Panasonic DVD Recorder / VCR Combo. I bought it online at circuitcity.com a couple of Saturday nights ago, and FedEx delivered it to me (free of charge) less than two business days later ! I couldn’t believe my four eyes when it arrived that fast ! 😯
7. Since my new DVD recorder has a digital tuner I’m exploring and enjoying crystal clear digital television for the first time ever. I have 90 new digital channels (expanded basic) that I always had but couldn’t access until now. That includes 50 music channels. I dig that !
8. Last night and this morning I recorded four hours of digital television programming on DVD-RW for the first time ever. I’ve got some tweaks to make to this process. I recorded it all in EP mode (which allows for 8 hours of programming onto a single 4.7 GB DVD). The picture quality suffered a bit. I’ll have to bring it down a notch for my next recordings. I’m learning.
9. I’ve pushed back the purchase of my fresh new HP Pavilion laptop indefinitely – but not for too long. Once the initial enjoyment value for my DVD Recorder / digital television revolution begins to wind down a bit then it will be time for me to buy my next new toy – the laptop. It should happen sometime in August.
10. Bright and early this morning I was once again reminded why I rarely go through the drive-thru at the McDonald’s at the Oasis Plaza en el este de Homestead. It’s because the service is subpar. They get confused handling more than one order at a time ! 😕
It’s time to count ’em down again. This week I’m counting down my TOP 5 favourite movies that I actually went to a movie theatre to see over the past 13 months. Check it out:
5. The Happening
I saw this one at the AMC Theatres at the Rivercenter Mall on the River Walk en San Antonio three weeks ago. After I saw it I was extremely conscious (and cautious) while walking back from the movie theatre to my hotel room.
4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I saw this one for free with (are you ready for this ?) Anne J., Venus D., and Alex S. in Orlando. Venus refuses to admit how much she laughed hard all throughout it.
3. What Happens In Vegas
I saw this one on the way home from a Sunday morning service at Pastor Nathan‘s InDependence Church up in Western Broward County.
2. Evan Almighty
It was better than the original as far as I’m concerned, but most critics will disagree with me. It was set in my former hometown region of Northern Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.).
1. License To Wed
It’s religious hijinks at the box office with Robin Williams in the role of a lifetime – as a crazy Lead Reverend of a modern church. This is probably my all-time favourite Robin Williams film.
OK friends we’ve got a busy week ahead of us here on the big blog. You crazy cats made this past (Monday to Sunday) week the busiest week in the entire history of this blog’s young life.

Let’s keep on doin’ our thing !
TOMORROW on the big blog I’ve got your ‘Monday Night Countdown’ (a fresh new regular weekly feature on here that was inspired by this cool dude). This week’s countdown features the TOP 5 movies that I’ve seen over the past 13 months. You’re not gonna wanna miss that my friends !
Then be sure to round-up your crazy crew and hang out with the hipsters for the legendary ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. It’s the most spontaneous blog entry of the week. I totally plan it that way !
That’s what’s happenin’ on here over the next 48 hours, so be sure to keep it locked in to the big blog. You won’t regret it pal.
