The Sterling Silver Plated Compass

After much deliberation I have decided that I am going to see the Golden Compass over the break with some familia. I plan on watching the Passion of Christ before my viewing of the Golden Compass and then I plan on reading the entire New Testament directly afterwards in a locked closet that will protect from any sinful transgressions that may be pursuing me. Pressing upward and onward...

I was challenged a couple of weeks ago to analyze where I am at in life and to really think about what has happened to others in the same spot that I am at. I guess you could look at it this way... If you are in a classroom at some prestigious academic institution like Abilene Christian University rewind the clock about 50 years and think about how different the class would have been. It is the same classroom, same building, same grounds but almost an entire different world. Imagine analyzing racial and social issues in the 50s or 60s in that very classroom in the administration building. I bet that racial tolerance and understanding was not something that was widely appreciated in little old Abilene, TX.

Think about how different you would be if you grew up in a different era. We take so much pride in who we think we are and what we stand for but what does that say about us if it was all stripped from us by growing up in another age. Would one alliganace to something like a sports team or a game transfer to something like woodwork or ironwork if you grew up in the 1600s instead. Gobble Gobble Gobble who knows.

So my boy st. nick is rolling through and we already have the Santa Tracker 5000 up and operational as he does his final boarding and loading on the newly sponsored Boeing Santa Sleigh that will dashing through the clouds before we know it. Pay the man some respect and toss someone a Merry Christmas and not a happy holidays. Celebrate baby Jesus and St. Nick keeping the Christmas cheer alive.

Kobe's 2 handed Dunk off Lebron Sick Pass 8/22

Well its the first last day of school for me and it feels like I never got off the bike. I already feel like I have been peddling half way through another semester but the gloss is still shining on the new textbooks. School is good... It is horrible when you know you have it good because the next hump probably wont be friendly. Upwards and onwards i presume...

So i consider it all of our civil duties to at least attempt to stay current on the news, business, and of course sports but today i read something that just makes me hurl massively. http://www.flexpetz.com/how.html is a site that takes pride in exposing dogs as if they are a hot new release on netflix and that is just so cold blooded. Ok I am not one of those angry cosmonauts that is lining up to burn my #7 Falcons jersey like the rest of the country but i mean come on its a freggin dog you can just rent them out like a shopvac. Owners and dogs become connected (well at least thats what i have always experienced) innevitably and to mess with the natural gel on that relationship is just raw. Congress, Humane socieities, or avid animal idiots please shut this dump down.

Just a quick plug for Team USA... were backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk......
I love that the fiba basketball tourney has been televised on espn classic this year because the 65 point blowouts on the U.S. Virgin Islands, Venezula, and Brazil have been instant slammers for the ages.

Peep the presence of the boys in blue...

Got that swag draggin...

Ay Bay bay... Dude the hustle to the end of the summer is here. Thank you baby Jesus... The daily crush @ Little Panda is cramming me harder every day and I am just praying for daylight. As mainstream as it sounds when it rains it pours. Coming back from San Antone the arctic fox (01 rodeo slab) decided to go gooftroop on me and it has been sitting at the dealership for the last week. Then the rain starting pounding harder when the ole celly screen went out leaving me with no car and no digital roaming telephone service. The only comfort i can find is the chipolte bbq grilled snackwrap from mcdonalds. Thanks Ronald you can take me off of life support soon enough. I am really looking forward to Brandon's bachelor party next weekend because i will get to rub elbows with all of my fellas that i haven't seen in a while. People grow up and they move... Its is too bad that i am a self proclaimed peter pan and i couldn't age if i wanted to. So memories will be made and i am sure you can peep the highlights on youtube.
I have been getting serious plump about the new English Premier League that started today. I am ready to hop the pond and hit the pitch asap. Hopefully ebay.uk can toss me a bone... I am hitting a fantasy league for the EPL this year so it makes everything juiced even more. My boys Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard are stone cold killas. I would flow with Liverpool but Jscott has already knocked his plot on them so i gotta find my own diggs. I might hop on that Newcastle ship for the year and see how i roll... I mean you gotta fluff the underdogs... Get that New York Yankee (Man U and Chelsea) bologna outta my grill. Needless to say you can catch me in South Africa in 2010 to watch the gringos wreck shop and at least make it out of their first pool in the world cup.
Have you ever thought about your own potential? I mean you hear it in sports all the time like "this kid from the east coast has so much promise and potential"... gab gab gab. I think it is important to squat down and gander about our own potential in a humble fashion every once and a while. Respect where we are at (educationally, physically, spiritually, i mean pick your poison) and then think about how you could swull up in any of those aspects. Consider how much of a positive impact you could me if you showcase the determination to fulfill your potential. I mean respect this hustle right?

Hit me with some feedback i need a new book to screw the head on towards a new aspect about God. I want to take a look at the big man in a new light... flash me

Caffeine Rebound

Well folks the last time I entered the virtual garden oasis of the Blogosphere I had only completed half of a lap of the summer 2007 wedding tour. Now that I can be considered a certified wedding consultant I have several job opportunities an on air role on either the Oxygen and HGTV television syndicates. You know sometimes life just drops opportunities into your lap…and I digress. So I pulled the travel action for a few weeks down to Honduras for a few weeks to get my body rocking self edumacated and we even threw some sledge hammers around in the name of the Lord. The peeps down south were true and it was a mighty wicked endeavor. The intercultural and multinational communication classes were potent to say the least and I feel like the content really got the wheels turning upstairs. Victory! Thanks Johnny Drama. As shallow as it sounds I feel like I need to be grooving with something week in or week or I am just wasting away in my 20’s. I mean your 20’s are supposed to be when the cup never runs dry. I need that idea to evaporate pronto because we all know that God is all about building the stepping stones in life so that Heaven is just over the hillside. Enjoy and embrace every facet of life of where you’re at and where you will be and I think we will all be swimming in the love. This summer is not over by any means but I feel like my mind decided that it was over after Honduras. It is too bad that we got back in the second week of July. Hang on and feel the noise…. That’s what I just have to keep telling myself.

So the student financial aide is coming in soon which means that the unseen mountain of debt will creep but a few feet higher. I am just getting excited about finding out that my next loan will blot out the sun (yes it’s a callout to 300) and I will be forced to live in the dark shadows of the Fraggle Cave. At least Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, Doozer, and Gorgs will keep my company down there. More importantly the new financial aide check means I might have a little money over the top that will help pay for this bad boy… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=472997&in_page_id=1811

and who knows... if a spare grand wont get me airborne maybe i will just settle for something else.... A true test of prayer... (ok i don't really mean that last statement)

So needless to say i am living the dream until school starts. Churning and burning down to Cowboys camp this weekend and ole boy Wade better be throwing down the gauntlet this year on the boys. A quick plug for FC DALLAS MLS soccer....they are sick motha pluckas. Hit a game and tell my Colombian hombre Juan Toja that i said whatado?

Momento Mori my friends,

5th down and Goal

Yowsers.... Howdy folks and welcome to blastoff theatre. Hmm a simple ode to the NASA space center in Houston. Anyways speaking of NASA and ingenuity I found my next birthday present yesterday and I have been whipping around like a 8 month old yorkie pup. Ladies and gentlebots i would like to introduce you to your future.... http://www.fishnflush.com/index.html... This will most definitely change the way the Earth spins on its axis. Fish one up now while they are cheap because by the time they make it to home depot those builder's square home wreckers while nickle and dime the dump truck out of us for every penny.

Call out to Jig and Ruke Leeves for the destruction of Abilene a few nights ago. Cheers mates. Who knew the Rodeo was actually a disguised Land Rover... cheers again...

Austin bound...

Austin Lightning tonight at 730 see all of you there dressed in assorted battle garb.

Bomb North Korea,

By the way Robots the movie will warp your reality. Great flick. Thank you HBO.

Eat your heart out Hitchcock

Stardate 1 after the most successful weekend in a long time. The overriding feeling for last weekend collectively can only be classified as good vibrations. The satisfaction of seeing good friends that you haven't seen in a while is a beautiful thing. Sharing in good memories that plow the road ahead for many more to come is an empowering experience. Knowing and seeing the true essence of love in life around you is something that is hard to capture. When i was at the wedding it did not necessarily make me think about the possibility of my own wedding one day down the road but instead it just helped focus me on the intangible element of love that God so freely gives us. What is more pure than being able to feel God's love splashing down all around you. Its a pretty rowdy event.

It is difficult for a lot of people to let go of themselves and just live in the moment. To just purely live on the energy of the second. I strongly recommend that people take a step outside of themselves and when an opportunity presents itself that people pursue it. Sharing the company of good people in a good time in our lives is what it is all about.

By the way NASA owns you. NASA will never be the same after the Smegma Colony (coleman, luke, gay juice, and of course myself) turned that place upside down. Boundaries were crossed, violations was noted, and more importantly the disposable cameras were buy one get one free. Clear Lake, Tx actually had a little character unlike the gooch of the south....Houston.

Call out to angelic parents of Brittney Nicole Lubojasky. Massive blessings, honors, and relics are due to this family. They put us up for a while this last weekend and they were undoubtedly off the proverbial meat rack. These were some of the most hospitable people that i have meet in a while and it is refreshing to see a shining example of freely giving. It must be liberating to be able to good for others. An inspiration... bottom line. nasa.... nasa....

Fairy tales were written for a reason,

I am sure this picture is a repeat from other blogs... buh humbug im throwing it up again. Epic.

Candy Apple Aspirations

Well thanks to positive peer pressure, little panda burnt egg rolls, and the false truth of evolution i have decided to pledge my allegiance to the almighty blogger.com. I figure i have some fake money invested in Google on investopedia so i might as well help the cause by swashbuckling my computer with some more useless google applications and integrating my poorly outdated blogspot with the new and improved google blogger. I can see the stock ticker blinking now... cherish every percentage point. (if only that was real money...one day cramer)





Now to things that dont suck to read...





My humility astonishes me at times. So i have been delivering for Little Panda here in Abilene for a while which means i get a lot of quality time with the good ole automobile. Fortunately last Christmas my pops didn't have enough patience to take 5 minutes and put his new xm radio in his truck...so i was defaulted to yours truly. Satellite radio has turned my deliveries into a flight of fantasy because i have able to listen to the democratic and republican preliminary debates on the P.O.T.U.S. 2008 channel. Sweet Georgia peaches you have got to call this election premature for sure. Folks... its the first week of June 2007. By the time the new president gets elected i am sure HE will have a cushy number and most of the problems will be solved by then. Ok thats not true at all... if anything all our global dealings will be complicated 7 fold and will legalize illegal immigration (if that's possible) by the end of 2008.

• I have been fascinated by eloquence that Mitt Romney exudes each time he speaks. I dont feel like its a show or game but very genuine... Who am i kidding of course its a show but i have been impressed with the way that he has handled some difficult questions how he balances or integrates his faith (Mormon) and policies.


• Now ole boy Rudy Giuliani is an interesting candidate because hes all about security (well thats what it seems like). Locking up the border, doing some internal house cleaning, and really giving illegals a gut check. Sounds good to me. Look illegal immigrants also take jobs that some regular Americans dont want to mess with but overall its just not safe not to have any idea who the dump these peeps are...

Ok enough with political hoopla... on to something important like Baggo. Thats right the mind boggling game of baggo. What is baggo you say? By the words of the virtuouso himself, jacob "silver foot" wardell, figure it out! But seriously be prepared for the baggo epidemic to see an Abilene takeover in the near future. Lives will impacted, names will be made, and baggo grand master girod will be exalted in the 325. Believe.

If you dont have one of these yet... call me i am selling them for $75 a pop. Cheap considering he will be making lebron look like a washed up child actor after he clowns him next season.

See yall at the agan wedding...

Im a silver dolla... holla
