• the furniture move was yesterday after church...moved some patio furniture with my parents
• pennies in a lake was with the big boy JCO at the lake where the furniture went

north vs. south and other

most everyone here in the states knows about the old civil war and northern states versus southern states....and most of us southerners know about the typical thoughts that northerners are rude and generally abrasive.....well we all know that there are always exceptions to the rules but the bottom line is i had to call new york university this morning seeking a couple of course descriptions over the phone and to say that the lady i was speaking with was rude and abrasive would be putting it mildly....i should have asked to speak to her supervisor to lodge a complaint against here.....instead i sent an email message to them about the total lack of customer service.....i sorta got a kick outta the whole thing though....go figure....the other is a much more local thing where we live but our church starts this sunday as one church two locations....we are starting services at another location and will have video services essentially....well i am told that another local church on their sign says just that "one church...one location" - i think we might have a little brawl brewing up....should be fun

things dont stay the same

• if youve got enough years on you in life i think you would have to agree with that statement
• and i think its all around us in our life but with me it just hits me from time to time with certain situations
• well when i was still a youngster (5-10 years) is when the transformers first came out. Those are some of the first items i actually saved my money to buy at the store and i played with them a whole lot growing up and somehow kept them in decent shape and kept them over the years.
• well our son is all into typical 5 year old stuff that includes of course the transformers, it seems "they" are tyring to bring the transformers back into production again and attempting to rev it up again with them
• so his birthday has just happened and he got a transformers dvd from someone and i was watching it with him the other nite and i realized this is nothing like what the transformers were like when i was his age.
• the main good guy now has this large ax that he uses as his main weapon and it has all sorts of powers to it - in my day (now that really makes me old saying that doesnt it???) he could just shoot a laser beam or something and punch and kick and throw things - of course he always won and still does - but whats up with the mega ax???
• just a few thoughts right there....i think most of you would agree with me

early tuesday at work

• just a quick post here......i carry a little pocket knife with me - its a lockblade that holds a single razor blade in it - i use everyday for something - it is very handy to have.....well one of my coworkers came in my office this morning and wanted to borrow it for a few minutes to do something in their office.....i dont have a problem with that at all
• i was ready to let her borrow it and i said "and what is the magic word?" and she starts into this elaborate "if it is okay may i borrow your pocket knife for blah blah blah...." again i said "and what is the magic word?" at that point she just said "forget about it" and stormed out of my office.....
• in detailing this in my mind i asked myself "would i expect myself to say 'please'" the answer is of course i would - "would i expect virtually anybody else* to say 'please'" the answer is of course i would - "should i spend another moment trying to figure her out?" the answer is of course i should not....*"virtually anybody else" if the current governor of our state or the current president of our nation wanted to borrow it or have i wouldnt "expect" them to say "please" but they are of such a high caliber that i am certain they would say "please" anyway....part of their normal behavior.....apparently not part of this persons normal behavior.....
• the book is closed on this one

labor day weekend and such

• first off i cant remember the last time i blogged.....it has kinda built up in me and i feel like i might explode if i dont blog soon....i mean i have so many readers out there i know they are missing out on this stuff....
• well i havent blogged b/c ive been so freaking busy it seems....work has me slammed again with work like there is not tomorrow and stuff around the house here has been crazy b/c we have been getting ready for the BIG PIRATE birthday party which i will get to shortly
• this past friday i got off at noon which was nice - no dice on that this week though....b/c first off it is a holiday week which means 8x5 and i also have this friday off to play mr. mom
• well yesterday was sunday and we all went to church as normal which closed out the alive series which was based on if you only had 30 days left to live what would you change and what would your life be like....i had no idea at all but there are several people in our church that have life threatening stuff going on in their lives right now...WOW
• one of points that he attempted to make sunday morning was the fact about how awesome heaven is going to be when we get there...that he was in their backyard recently playing pitch with their kiddos and everyone was happy and getting along...and it worked into hotdogs that they all ate and his whole family had an awesome day with it all and he was talking about that as good as all of that was that heaven is going to be even better when we get there....
• and i suppose that must have struck a chord in me or something because after church all of us and a few friends went to stone mountain for a few concerts and stayed for the laser show after the concerts and whatnot....
• by the way the old laser show seems to be a little better than the one they have right now
• but i was there sitting in my chair with a soft drink in hand just totally chilling out watching the kiddos play around and screaming and goofing off and having a really really good time with it all - awesome stuff indeed
• well the pirate party was everything it was supposed to be today we must have had at least 20 kiddos here and food and presents....and water balloons....which i got them all with a sprinkler from the deck....hahahahaha....that was fun but they all enjoyed it too
• well i need to run again b/c i need to move the sprinkler in the back yard....and whatever
• oh....JCO seems to be into transformers right now....they are trying to bring them back it seems to cartoons and all of that stuff...well when i was his age i saved up my dollars and bought several of them....i gave them all to him earlier today and was pumped about it....he has ran upstairs about 20 times saying that he is setting them up as models in his room....
