I've been on a blogging frenzy lately, probably because I feel like I've
had a lot to say and want to get a lot out. I hope you enjoy my crazy,
wacky, and sometimes inspirational thoughts because I have more for you
right abooooouuuuuttttt....NOW!!!
- I hope you like my new
profile pic. I've been looking to get one with me dressed up a bit and
I'm happy with this one....now to lose that gut of mine (wishful
thinking for now). Thank you Cara for taking the pic for me...I really
appreciate it.
- I celebrate the 5-year anniversary last
Saturday at the OC with several people from my crew. I was hoping for a
bigger turnout, but I think I got the event invites out a bit late for
people to actually plan on coming. I would have gotten them out earlier
if I had actually remembered the anniversary of that trip earlier.
Still, the crew and I had a great time overall. Me, Dave, Griff, Jay,
Cara, and many others kicked it and got down with our bad selves. I
dressed up a bit so I could get pics for the profile. I "pimped" it up
for a bit, according to those at the club, and for some odd reason I
didn't mind. Anyway, I didn't have any pics that had me dressed up and
now I do, so I thank my "cuz" Cara for those pics.
- Trivia
question: when was the last time the phrase "get down with your bad
self" actually relevant? Seriously, I don't know...
- It's
been about a year since I dated a woman (geez, time goes by quick).
Pray for me for good things on this front because, quite frankly, I need
some prayer and the last girl I dated....well, things didn't work out,
so I want something and someone better this time. Maybe when I get some
things settled such as my job situation and potential volunteer stuff,
I'll get back to this. Until then, pray for me.
- Speaking of
my job situation, aside from my temp stuff I'm gonna be taking several
civil service exams this month. I'm hoping that one of those prospects
pans out for me. Good jobs are scarce at this time, so I'm crossing my
fingers and knocking on wood here.
- My church has changed the
online service we use to broadcast online. We are now on Mogulus at
"www.mogulus.com". If interested in watching recorded services or live
ones (Sunday evenings @ approximately 7:30), just got to the Crossroads
website "http://www.crossroadswcc.org/"
and click the Live Broadcast link in the menu. We have a few of the
past month's services online and we finally fixed the audio problems, so
it's good to go. Better yet, just go to services...it's more fun and
inspirational in person.
- IF YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN
OHIO: early voting starts tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 30). You can go to
your county's designated voting place and vote early. You can still
register to vote until the 6th of October, so don't forget to register
if you haven't done so. In Franklin County (Columbus and surrounding
cities), the early voting place is at Vet's Memorial on Broad Street.
If anybody needs more info about voting or stuff, let me know and I'll
try to help.
- I'm glad I'm getting out of the political stuff
for now. I'm not sure that I can be effective in that arena at this
time and I'm not feeling too terribly fulfilled by it, though the Obama
rally was great. I'm not saying I'm closing it off entirely for this
election cycle, but right now I'm just not feeling it. Heck, I didn't
even get into the last big election cycle (2006, the gubernatorial one)
until about two weeks before that election, so who knows. At this point
though, it's a no go for me.
- Thank God the Browns won yesterday. It would have been embarassing to lose to a down and out team like the Bengals.
- The Buckeyes didn't look too shabby on Saturday. Unless there's a
big dropoff of teams like last year, I don't think the Bucks are going
to back into the national championship game this year. If they win
outright and earn it, cool...otherwise, it might be nice to see them in
the Rose Bowl this year.
Okay, that's all I got percolating in my
head for now. I may start doing some creative type blogs as well as my
random thought ones. Until next time, America (Oh God....I just used a
Maury Povich line...just shoot me now!). Take care and God Bless.
