Think About This

"I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."

On that note let me now offer you some very deep thoughts from Danny aka Dan Quayle.

"If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime."
- Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President

"It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago"
- Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice-President

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system!"
- Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President on the concept of a manned mission to Mars

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."
- Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President

So now you ask me...
Why would you post something like this? Go ahead ask. I'll wait...

1 Year After Katrina

Today is the 1 year mark for hurricane Katrina. Just to make a note there are still many many place all along the coast that if you dropped into the today you would not be able to tell that it has been a whole year for the disaster is still a disaster. Please remember these people if only for today.

A Post About...nothing

So I was going to make a new post today because I realized I had not posted in a while. But what was I to write? I did not know. So I looked to other blogs for my inspiration, however to my surprise as I went through my 7 blogs that I check regularly on 5 of them were not updated in anyway. What's happening to us? Do we no longer care about the blog and the world around it? It's truly a sad thing to watch for a friends new blog and have it NEVER come (ahem...monty). So I apparently have no creativity today and could not come up with any of my own thoughts let me just plug one of the few updated blogs...
Check out my friend Jo's blog. She got married! On top of a mountain! And if you believe me, then come back here and let me make you an offer on some ocean front property in Ohio. Nice.

Saved by the Bell

First off someone has WAY TOO much free time on their hands. Who had all these clips? Where'd they find them? They had to have watch every season over and over to get this much stuff. With that said let me also say that this still remains today to be one of my all time favorite shows. And please Rachel and Ross had nothing on these two. They were on an off again over and over. But don't worry in the end. (and I'm talking the way end...like through saved by the bell: the college years) They do end up together. Actually they go to Vegas to get married and of course are chase by the mofia and insanity happens. They even bring back Lisa for the episode as the maid of honor. Jessie however is not in the episode at all until the last minute. They don't say this in saved by the bell but Jessie was actually not around cause she was out flimming Strip Tease with Demi Moore. But can I just say that it doesn't matter to me how close we were, if you don't RSVP and you're not there at all but suddenly you surprisingly show up in the middle of the wedding and run down the aisle interupting everything and then expect to be a bridesmaid you have another thing coming. I mean seriously, how important do you think you are. Anyway, I digress. Now watch the love that was Zach and Kelly. One last side note: What's funny to me is there are two shots where Zach looks all sad and you assume it's because he misses Kelly by the way this video is editted but those scenes are actually from a summer season where he dated Stacy Carossie and that's why he's sad. Like I said I love this show. Enjoy:

6. Gone up stairs
7. Yawned
8. Taken a shower
9. Talked
10.Cleared my throat

Remember I haven't just done these once most of them I do all the time. Some of them I even do multiple times a day. Huh...these are not nearly as fun as the unusual things. Sorry.

10 Unusual Things I've Done More Than Once

1. Stayed up 24 hours
2. Snuck into a building in the middle of the night and figued out how to get up on the roof
3. Laid down to roll under a gate that lifted up less than a foot high in order to get into Tiger Stadium in the middle of the night
4. Gone through a store line holding a magazine. Paid for other things holding the magazine. Talked to the cashier holding the magazine. Walked out to my car holding the magazine. Gotten in the car and realized I was still holding the magazine which I then had to go return.
5. Sneezed and hit my head on something
6. Fallen over just standing in one spot
7. Been in a car accident that has totalled my car but wasn't my fault

10.Fallen down a flight of stairs and taken at least one other person with me

Let me just point out that not only have I done all these things but I've done each one at least twice most of them 3, 4, or 5 tiimes. I'm special. Let me know how special you are. Thanks for the idea Courtney.

I can't sleep. I really want to but can't. This is so annoying because it is like the third or fourth night in a row. Stinkin sleeping. You'd think that something so basic would be easy. But I guess it can't always be that way. Amd now a song...
SLEEP
SLEEP
SLEEP
I WISH THAT I COULD SLEEP
ONCE I KNEW BOO BEEP
I BET THAT SHE COULD SLEEP
SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP

Procras...

So I was going to write a blog post all about procrastination and what it can do to you and how it can really screw you up in work and life. I had a lot of thoughts on it but I think I'll do it later. Oh and I wanted to tell you guys something else but I'll just tell you later...

My point is this: Procrastination is

A thought I can't shake

I don't want to be too deep. At least not over the internet. But this is a thought that has been going through my brain for some time. So, here it is...
Do you ever wonder what's going through peoples' minds. I mean what is the thought process that goes through peoples minds that causes them to do somethings. I honestly think that there are billions of people in this world that never pre-think a plan of action or a word coming out of his or her mouth or a decision made.
Now I'm not the innocent of innocents and none of us are but there some things done this world that even if I had a millions years and hundreds of resources I could never come to the same conclusion that people in this world came to, will come to, are coming to. And truly it ranges from every level from the silly and minor (I think I'll drink this milk even though it looks chunky and smells bad) to the serious and major (9-11).
What's interesting to me is that there are lots and lots and even more answers out there. And lots of people are giving answers to big quanders. We're offering answers as to why we're at war, why rachel and ross took so long to get back together, why the ozone is disappearing around us, why I'm too big to play in the balls at McDonalds, etc. But I think a major problem with this is even after we give an answer there are still so many more questions that we as humans choose to typical ignore or we look past them or we put them on a back burner or we get so self focused that we actually never even know they are there such as did we ever really know the question...where did the answer really come from...who's right...who's wrong...how many possible answers are there...who does this hurt...where does this lead us...how will we get there...how long will it take.
Do I have a solution to my questions or this thought process? No...because then everyone and their mom would be calling my house looking for answers. But I still wonder how we got to where we are...in some places...why we stay there...will it ever change?

Do YOU know how to ice skate?

Too bad Lassie didn't know how to ice skate, because then if she was in Holland on vacation in winter and someone said "Lassie, go skate for help," she could do it.

Gas Prices

People have been complaining about the rising price of gasoline recently, but I have always thought that gas was a good value! Obviously others need a little convincing. So the article in this week's "Auto week" magazine brought it all to light. What if you were to buy a gallon of . . .


- Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
- Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon
- Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon
- Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon
- Quart of Milk for $1.59 = $6.32 per gallon
- Evian (water) 9 oz for $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon
- STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon
- Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon
- Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon
- Whiteout 7 oz for $1.39 = $254.17 per gallon
- Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99 = $84.84 per gallon
So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on Nyquil or Scope or Whiteout!

a missions trip

so i have now been back from my missions trip to louisiana (mostly New Orleans) for almost two days. and i have been trying to figure out a blog post to make about my experience but i honestly don't know what to say or how to say it. so let me try by saying this. i have been on a number of missions trips in my life. once when i was in highschool i went on a week long out reach in new orleans. when i was in college i went on a couple of trips here and there including mexico, arkansas, and guatemala. the point is this...I have never been on a missions trip that was this hard, this exhasting, this draining, this life changing, view changing. so here's the shortest description of my trip possible. 5 of us went to new orleans for 6 days. 2 days we gutted a house that had 9 feet of standing water in it for more than a week. for 1 day we did out reach in downtown baton rouge with the church we working with. for 1 day we visited fema parks and handed out food to those in need. and for the last full day we were there we cut grass in the new orleans ninth ward so that these people would not be charged by the city for not keeping up their yards. it all sounds basic but it was hard. it was physical and emotional and spiritually exhausting. there is still a huge need in this city. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. If you want to check out more in detail what we did feel free to hit my friend Tim's blog.
