No Diet Coke?
Jan 6
So I was out for lunch yesterday and asked for a Diet Coke. The waitress had no clue what I meant. I assumed it was a lanugage barrier thing…so I (like an idiot) phonetically pronounced…slowly…DIIIIEETTT COKKKEEE.
Still nothing.
Then one of the guys I’m travelling with says…”Oh, he means Coke light.”
3 minutes later…Coke Lite appeared.
Same great taste…Same zero calories…Different name.
I like it.

I’m Tired!
Dec 14
Seriously! Between the days getting killer short and the craziness of December…my body is sending my smoke signals and I keep writing it IOU’s for when I can get some more sleep.
I always bug Hailey for wanting to go to bed @ 9pm. It feels weird. It feels like we’re old people. Plus, when I look on my twitter when I get up in the morning, I see all these people tweeting until like 2am. I was 5 hours into my sleep by then. Worst part…they were up @ 6:30 before me too. How can people live on that amount of sleep? I’m a 7-8 hour minimum guy. And even than…10 is my hot zone.
I might get a tanning bed so I can sleep and get sunlight all at the same time. Would definitely either be brilliant or ridiculously stupid. Then again, I may end up looking like this ====>>
Maybe I’ll pass on the fake ‘n bake for now….

A few people tweet’d about this yesterday, but instead of letting it go, I had to post about it.
Under the guise of being “inclusive” or “anti-religious” a group of individuals (namely this guy) have decided to join in with Muslims during their Ramadan fast. You can read the full article HERE. All that I can say is that this pushes “far” WAY to far!
Am I wrong? Discuss.

That's "Epic"
Aug 23
No…it’s really not. I tweeted earlier today about the over use of the word “EPIC” and received a mixture of responses. Some (like from THIS GUY) we’re poking fun at me…no surprise…but others claimed to enjoy the using the word. All in all, calling my friends’ band “Epic” or saying that party I just patron’d was “Epic is simply not the case…unless your friend is Bono or Paul McCartney and party you attended was held @ Madison Square Gardens and it was hosted by Michael Jordan.
Here’s my criteria for the correct use of the word Epic…
1) Is the event/source embraced and esteemed by others to the same degree?
2) Is the event/source timeless and relevant in its greatness?
3) How does the event/source compare to other comparable event sources?
Here are 3 examples that I used:
1) Becoming a Father
2) Star Wars “Empire Strikes Back”
3) The Mona Lisa
What 3 could you come up with? Do You Agree/Disagree?

I Got Robbed
Aug 19
For those of that follow me on twitter, you read about how my car was broken into yesterday…not a good day.
I really struggled with the whole thing. There’s something about getting in your car after someone else has just rummaged through it that makes you feel…uncomfortable. My golf clubs were the only thing taken (which we’re not cheap to replace!), but I found myself really clinging to James 1 in thanking God through this trial and praising Him for His faithfulness (no one was hurt, no damage to the car, etc.)
As I looked back on the whole incident, I was struck with a parallel in my own relationship with God.
God calls us to live blamelessly before Him, pursuing holiness. As I drove in my car, I couldn’t help but feel like I was riding in a ’sin-bin.’ There were a few minutes during the night before, where thieves had been where I was now sitting with the sole purpose of stealing from me.
Sort of reminds me of my sin. Everything I have and am is because God has ordained it and allowed it. My health and possessions are His alone. So I guess when I don’t take care of my body, or blow money on foolish things…or worse…take pride in something that isn’t mine to begin with…I look pretty silly.
It would be like the guy that stole my golf clubs…would he feel a greater sense of accomplishment having worked and saved to buy them (like me) or from just stealing them…?
I know the example isn’t perfect, but it does put things in perspective. I feel ripped off because someone stole my golf clubs. How much more is God ripped off when we misuse the life that we have in Him.
Just some food for thought.

It Happened One Night…
Aug 5
So here’s the thing.
Babies are great…specifically mine…BUT you know what isn’t great…crying babies…specifically mine.
Last night, Stella (or as I refer to her “the diva”) went to bed @ 9:30pm…pretty good eh! Hailey and I watched some T.V, talked about the next few weeks, etc. At approx midnight, “the diva” decided that it was not sleep time…but scream time. She proceeded to cry off and on until 5am.
I say this…to say this…
1) My wife is AH-MA-ZING. Without a word of complaint, she tended to “the diva” and told me to go back to bed as I had to work the next day.
2) I am a suck. I am SO tired and basically running on 2 large coffee’s and 4 hours of sleep right now…she’s at home taking cat-naps whenever she can…I’m a suck…she’s a hero.
3) We need to consider moving to Australia. Our night is there day…Stella would love it!
4) I love my little girl. Even though she kept us up all night (I did sit her down in the morning and give her a talking to about her behavior), I could not help but play with her and hold her in the morning…DANG Diva Powers…!

||| NOTE: Outlandish Sarcasm ahead…proceed with caution |||
I saw this on a friends facebook. I guess he found it in a bookstore or something. Makes you wonder…is it really that easy to get something published? I’m contemplating ripping some bark off a tree in my backyard and seeing if someone will publish it for me…I’ll write my name on it and maybe “God wants us all to be like tree bark.” Think of the potential!

Farewell Michael Jackson
Jun 26
“Where were you when you heard the news..?”
A question I’ve heard over the years to describe “important” events in history. 9/11, JFK Shooting, the most recent Tsunami and now…the death of Michael Jackson. For me, not quite as big as big a deal a catastrophe like those other events, but still…the dude was a legend.
I was golfing yesterday afternoon, and within minutes of the story breaking, the Cart-Girl told us that he had died…
As I thought about it (and all the worship of a man that was about to ensue) I thought about how crazy it was that the “King of Pop” was now about to meet the “King of Glory.” Even as I write this blog, with the T.V on in the background, I hear a old woman crying about how she is heartbroken and doesn’t “know how she can move on…” as Michael was “everything to her…”
How Sad.
We so quickly exalt these sinful men and women to iconic levels. My dad and I were talking yesterday and he said something that really made me think. As we discussed the TRAIN-WRECK that is Michael Jackson (“Wacko Jacko“), my dad said that MJ was really the perfect picture of the TOTAL “depravity of man. From icon to nut-job, the guy was worshiped in spite of his sin and was held in a place that is reserved for the God of the Universe ALONE.
So where does that leave us? Well, I am left saddened that this pop-legend has now MET the living God and SEEN how his life was such a waste!
