2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 03,June,2004 | So hello again...seems like it has been forever. Here it is - late Thursday night...well late for me, normally I am sound asleep by now heavy with the Zzzz's...but alex had a baseball game tonight and I had to give both of the brats - I mean little darlings - baths when I got home....soo, Lauren is tucked away now and I am waiting on Alex to get out. Steve had a softball game so he is still out there playing...this is a good thing, it means that they won their first game at 7:00 and they played again at 9:00 - so we shall see. Anyway - that's my night...I've been surfing around a bit on the web, checking out some blogs and catching up on what all of you have been up to. There sure are some interesting blogs out there - and it's funny on just how different we all are...everyone has such a different perspective on things. Oh well - that's what makes the world go round, right? right! Hope y'all are having a great night, just wanted to say a quick hello. I'll write more later...see if I can find any interesting sites to link to. Bye! |

2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 28,July,2004 | We are leaving tomorrow to go camping and I'm not ready at all! I've got to go grocery shopping today, wash some clothes for us, and just get everything organized and together. Lots to do tonight - not enough time. Shouldn't be too bad - I mean afterall - we are only going for like 2 days...won't need much. As long as we have plenty of food and beer - all will be well! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 28,July,2004 | Thanks to urlLink Murphy ...I mean really guys...don't be shy.... urlLink just ask for directions ! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 28,July,2004 | Hello all! How are you today? Good here...just busy as a little bee this morning...and you know how busy those bees get? Shwew! So...I was online this morning looking for another SNL skit. My brother Kev had requested the Will Ferrell - Neil Diamond skit and I can't find it anywhere! DAMN. I found the transcript urlLink here... but no luck on actually finding the video of it. If anyone knows, PLEASE shoot me a link - pretty please, with sugar and a cherry on top? It looks hilarious. I don't think that I have seen that one...Funny stuff! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 27,July,2004 | We had so much fun this weekend and I just haven't had a moment to post about it! So...finally....ok, well start in the beginning I suppose... So Friday night we went to some friends house - up on Green Mountain. They are actually friends of my mother-in-law's, she went to high school with them, but we have met them several times and have hit it off, so we decided to get together. They are really fun people and have an awesome house. The kids had fun too, it was a nice night. Saturday, we just stayed around the house for a bit then went shopping. Steve bought himself a new urlLink little toy . He's so fascinated with this...can't stop playing with it! We also bought more 'stuff' for camping too. Sunday we went up to urlLink Madison County Nature Trail on Green Mountain, that was so much fun! We've lived here for 8 years and never even knew it was up there! Anyway, we went urlLink Letterboxing , that was fun! The kids loved it, it was like finding a buried treasure. And now that we have the GPS device too, we are going to start urlLink geocaching . This will be a great family thing for us to do on the weekends. Aren't we cool? I know.... Anyway, we did have fun...can't wait to go camping this weekend now. Really looking forward to it. OK, all...have a great evening! Talk to you later. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 23,July,2004 | urlLink How I feel today.... urlLink |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 23,July,2004 | Yeah - Kasi just had her baby! A beautiful baby girl - Aislyn is her name, 7.9 lbs! I can't wait to go see her! I'm heading out in just a few to see her! Congratulations Kasi! You'll love being a mommy! And I know you will make a wonderful mommy too! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 23,July,2004 | Woo Hoo! It's friday and I am doing the TGIF naked feather dance here in my office to celebrate! It's a bit tricky, and the feathers really tickle - but it is called for! I am so looking forward to this weekend. Why, you ask? Well - just because I do not have to work for 2 WHOLE days! Now, I like my job and all - but I LOVE the weekends! Saturday morning is so awesome. I love sleeping in and then getting up and sipping on some coffee while watching HGTV. What a great way to start they day...so much that I want to do this weekend...both work around the house and playing with the kids, but not sure yet what we will do. We will just kick back and play it by ear I guess. Hope everyone else is having a great morning so far - Come on everyone - The Naked Feather dance must go on! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 22,July,2004 | Boy, urlLink Trish was just absolutely full of questions - it's a wonder she makes it through the day. She asked urlLink yet another question , that I so thoughtfully provided the answer for... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | urlLink Little Lauren and Little Alex....aren't my kids the cutest? urlLink |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | I don't know how many of you will get this...but I just start laughing to myself everytime I think of this one! Guess what? I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell! OK - for those of you 'out of the know' urlLink here you go ! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | I've added a link on the sidebar there where you can click on and see what I'm up to. Please let me know any important events with you and I will add them on to my calendar! |

2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | Hope that I could shed a bit of light for you Trish...here you go. urlLink Trish writes: Really? Good! I really need the answers to the following: - Do the actors on Unsolved Mysteries ever get arrested because they look just like the criminal they are playing? Yeah - well, not really - in fact quite often the actors have absolutely no resemblance at all to the real criminal, most likely this is to keep this from happening in the first place. - What if you were to ask a genie to grant you more than three wishes for one of you wishes? That calls for immediate disqualification and the genie will then revoke all wishes. This is a good, but hard way to learn not to be greedy. - Why is it that when adults have multiple personalities it's schizophrenia, but when a child has imaginary friends it's cute? Well - in my opinion, it's just a bit freaky no matter what age you are. I mean really a kid talking to an invisible friend is NOT right, that is just plain weird...the stuff that horror movies are made from! An adult talking to an invisible friend well - just stay away from them. Not to be confused with an adult talking to themselves however - that's fine. - When people say, 'I’m so tired it's not even funny' or 'my head hurts so much it's not even funny', why would it even be funny in the first place? You have no sense of humor...I mean really, think about it - just a slight headache - Freaking hilarious! God, makes me chuckle now just thinking about it...hehehe...and the tired part! WOW - now that is humor! But as in all things, there is a fine line...when you get too much of a good thing, well you know - that will generally spoil it. Then it is just not funny anymore. - Are children who act in rated 'R' movies allowed to see them? Absolutely not, this little law is strictly adhered to. They are allowed to see their own shots - but not in order, so they don't even know what the movie is about sometimes. Now, however, if it is an R movie they will be allowed to come see it as long as they are accompanied by a parent or an adult guardian - if it is an NC-17 movie - no way jose! - When French people swear do they say pardon my English? Some English-speakers stereotype the French as permissive about anything risqué. This was particularly true a hundred years ago when the phrase took off as an 'apology' for swearing. 'Excuse my French' or 'Pardon my French' isn't just play-acting that you're speaking a foreign language. It's also a bit like saying, 'I know those words are naughty - but maybe I could get away with behaving like that in France, where people are more tolerant of obscenity.' So, NO, the french do not say that. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | OK - so I've got really nothing interesting at all to say...so, I'm stealing a page from urlLink Murphy ... Question and Answer time...Ask me anything - anything at all and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities! OK - Fire away! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | Not sure if I could still do urlLink this in my old age, but I sure would be willing to give it a try! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 21,July,2004 | Yes - remember the urlLink Helicopter game ...? I never got past 684 on this - my brother ended up with a score of 2584 - who can beat that? Let me know! |

2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 19,July,2004 | Do I really need to say anymore...check urlLink this out... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 19,July,2004 | Yeah! It was so exciting to see them come through the security gates at the airport last night. As soon as they saw us, they came running. What a wonderful feeling - they both looked so different! They must have grown a foot this past 2 weeks! Well, ok maybe not a foot, they only had the 2 they left with. But they have grown some! Anyway, I let them sleep in this morning and then hung out with them a bit this morning before coming into work. Lauren screamed like a freaking banchee then when I took her into daycare...always fun. She just didn't want to leave her mommy. I can't blame her. Anyway, thrilled to have my nerds back home! YEAH! Of course, that does stop the crazy wild sex from hubby and I in the living room...well...we'll just put a movie in for the kids... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 19,July,2004 | Shwew...I'm worn out! Really! So...Friday night the adventure began, we left work and went on the Gallery Tour, we only hit 2 galleries, but they were both very nice, and interesting. Then we decided we were hungry...so we went to my favorite restaurant..mmmmm.... urlLink 801 Franklin So good! We just ended up hanging out there at the bar all night then and didn't leave until we were ready to go home. It's just always so nice there, great atmosphere, wonderful food and terriffic wine. Saturday we woke up early and the power was out. So, since we couldn't make coffee - we went out for breakfast at Victoria's - killer breakfast there. Boy, can they make an omelot! We went back home to start cleaning the house, but the power was still out - and you really can't clean the house with no power, you know? So- we decided to go shopping for tents. We need to buy one, because we are going camping in 2 weeks. So we went running around looking, well we did find one we liked... urlLink this one . We didn't buy it yet though...on Friday. We just ran around all day on Sat. going from one store to the next, buying odds and ends...things we needed around the house and what-not. Very nice afternoon...even stopped off at an Adult store...but I'll leave that story between steve and I! LOL! Then Sat. night we rented some movies and just sat back and watched them...Along came Polly, and The Bourne Identity. Well, we watched the Bourne identity - haven't seen polly yet. Sunday we woke up early and got ready for another outing...headed up to a friends house and met a bunch of people we work with to go canoeing. Well, we were just going to go for 3-4 hours, but when we finished that...it was so much fun, we just kept on going down the river. So the driver just arranged to come pick us up at the end, at 8:00 pm - long day...but a fun day, really fun day. I drank so much on the first half, that I was already getting a hangover on the second half...ugh...nothing worse than getting a hangover on the same day! At the end, we just went home and crashed! So - what a weekend...it was a busy one, and a good one. The last one without the kids...hmmm...so we drive up to Nashville tonight to get the brats. They are coming in with my father-in-law at 10:00 pm. Late night. But that's OK, can't wait to see them. I'm getting real excited now, to get them back. Can't wait. OK all - hope you have a great day and i'll chat to you more later.... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 16,July,2004 | Last weekend before the kids come home so hubby and I are very busy! Lots to do, not much time...we are getting ready to go out to a Gallery Tour tonight, have a party tomorrow night and canoeing on Sunday...So if you don't hear from me all weekend...you know why! Hope everyone has a great one..we will! Bye! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 14,July,2004 | These are all important, but not necessarily in this order.... 1. My favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's, with Audrey Hepburn. 2. The feature I most like about myself is my smile. 3. The first thing that I look for in a friend/companion is a great sense of humor. 4. I absolutely, positively HATE onions. 5. My nails are done with a French Manicure. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 14,July,2004 | New Tools on Blogger...how cool...love playing with this stuff....let's see...what can I do? Hmmm.... I can change the font...Verdana, Georgia, Lucida Grande, Trebuchet, and of course plain old Arial... I can change the font size... huge, large, normal, small, tiny.... I can change the font color... red... blue... orange... green... yellow... lilac... ok...what else? numbered lists.. can go here... it's easy... Interesting...there are numbers here - but when I publish this, it turns to bullets...hmmm... Then I can do... bulleted lists here... and here and here... I can put things that are really important into blockQuotes... OK...let's see how all of that looks...Thank you for bearing with me...while I play! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 14,July,2004 | She has both of my kids this week and they are going nuts! Lauren is crying all of the time, being a brat and picking on her big brother. Alex is hitting her back, and just not listening! They are a lot to handle and my poor mother is not used to this...I feel so bad for her. I know that her and dad are certainly enjoying this time with the kids, but I also know how difficult it is for them. I mean - all I want is for my kids to behave with others, it should be simple. I believe that we are teaching and showing them proper manners, but then....I just never see it. Anyway...so my kids are brats and they are being terrible to my mom... I'm sorry mom, you always told me that you hoped I would get kids just like me...guess not though, these ones are bad...I know that I wasn't. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 12,July,2004 | I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 09,July,2004 | Lots going on....Kids are still gone...(so sad - NOT!) No really, I do miss them a bit, but I am having such a blast without them too. This has been really great, and well needed for Steve and I. We have had a terrific time so far, a week still to go. Kids are having a great time up in Ohio...I think wearing my mom and dad out though! They will be glad to see them go this time! ha-ha! So what else...well....working on our kitchen finally...trying to tear all of the wallpaper off...having a #^$^%$&@ of a time doing it. Oh well, when we get that done we are just plastering and painting the walls. Should look good. We'll see. Sunday, Steve and I went out boating with some friends. WOW, that was fun. I hadn't been out in awhile, well deserved break. We were out there all day, water skiing, tubing, swimming, eating and drinking. Just wiped me out...and I got burnt too. I need ALOE...ooohhhhh. I kept trying to put lotion on, obviously didn't do it enough though...Oh well. It's not all that bad. I will Survive. (OH - awesome disco song...i will survive...I'm going to be singing that the rest of the day now...) Anyway...tonight we are grocery shopping and doing laundry. We need to work on the kitchen some more as well, but we are both too tired and sore for that. We'll get to it later...yeah - right! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 09,July,2004 | Be alert to this one.... I hate people that forward those phony hoax warnings as much as anyone, but this one is important! Send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list! If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off, do not do it. IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked. I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap now. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 08,July,2004 | OK...so no kids around the house, Steve and I are sitting on the couch in the living room and we start 'fooling around' a bit...lol! Then all of a sudden there is a knock at the front door, startled both of us good! He jumps up to see who is there, it's our neighbor - just coming back from Egypt and he brought me a necklace that I had asked for - when Steve opens the door, our neighbor just leans in, gives Steve a big hug and pat on the back and says 'I love you man'. We were just dying! So funny! Obviously saw us fooling around and was congratulating Steve! DAMN...hilarious...we moved to the bedroom then... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 07,July,2004 | Check this out...Keep the urlLink Drunk Guy walking straight, by balancing him out with your mouse! I've gotten to 35 meters. |

2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 06,July,2004 | Freedom! So, last night, I went to Steve's softball game, then we went out and had some beer and wings! We used to do that all of the time BK (Before Kids) and just haven't in ages...It was SO much fun! We went to 3rd Base grill, it was really nice hanging out and talking to hubby - I love to spend time with him, he's my best friend! Then we went home and...well - it was just a really nice evening *wink* *wink*. haha! I'm hoping last night was setting the pace for the rest of our time without kids! We'll see. Anyway, just wanted to keep you all updated. Talk to you later! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 06,July,2004 | Check out her new website... urlLink Liberal Mommy ! Love it, she has deinitely got an opinion, she's just a bit shy about sharing it! Haha! Anyway - make sure to check this one out. It's a goody! Had a great night out with you this past weekend too, trish! Thanks! It was a blast - so good to see you again too. Wish that I could have stayed out later with you and Kerry - sounds like fun! But, I'm a wimp...so sad...I'm all rested up again now though... |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 02,July,2004 | Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, favourite beverage in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO - what a ride! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 02,July,2004 | No - not about July 4th! I have no kids for 2 WHOLE WEEKS ! Wow. yes, we left both of our darling little angels up in Ohio yesterday and we returned to Sweet Home Alabama! What will we ever do without them? Gee....anyway....I think we will survive. Too many things that I want to do...OVERLOAD! haha! If anyone has any suggestions, leave me a comment...and yes, I've already thought about having sex in the kitchen...got that one scheduled! lol! Anyway...must run! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 02,July,2004 | that's when I am heading out of here...so excited! A weekend up in Ohio...get to see my good friend Trish! Can't wait to see you hon! Then back home to Bama with no kids! Woo Hoo! So...I am trying to get all my work stuff done...day is going good! But - I will be gone from my blog for the next several days...Hope you have a great fourth of July everyone! catch up with you on Tuesday! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 01,July,2004 | I've got a Gmail and 6 invites to pass out! Hmmm....apparently this is some hot property! There is a urlLink swap list of people trying to get a gmail account. Is there anyone out there that is looking for this and doesn't have it yet? Let me know and I can send you an invite! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 01,July,2004 | A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their maker, and because of the grief they have experienced; he decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise. They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. 'I want to be gorgeous,' and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says, 'I want to be gorgeous too.' Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off. Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and says: 'Make 'em all ugly again'. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I need some interaction here....is anyone out there? Talk to me! |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 04,August,2004 | So, I've finally done it. I've signed up for an oil painting class at the Art Museum. It starts this Saturday morning. I can't wait to get into it again. It's been years, well since I've graduated college, since I've painted. Can I still do it? Will I remember all that I have learned? Well...it really doesn't matter, I'm just so psyched about getting back into it. REALLY. Ah, the masterpieces that I will be churning out...don't worry - I will share them with all of you, my faithful disciples. |
2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 04,August,2004 | Yes, there is always something going on in this family...So...Alex developed a bladder infection like a week ago or so, he's over it now and all fine. He was never actually bad - it just bothered him a little bit. Anyway...so now we need to look into it, because apparently it is not common for children to get bladder infections, and even less common for young boys to get bladder infections....of course. So we went to the Urologist yesterday, he ran a few tests - did an ultrasound. He said everything looks pretty normal - it could be nothing, but it looks like there is a cyst on his kidney. Hmmm...OK - a cyst, not so bad...lots of people have cysts right? No biggie...well, it's a cyst on the kidney of MY BABY though! If the Dr. had told me I had a cyst, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all...but for my boy to have one...now I'm just freaking out! Yeah - I guess that's what mom's do. So anyway, we go in again today to have another ultrasound done at another place and check it out a bit further. So we shall see how that turns out and I will indeed keep you updated... I told him after the ultrasound today we will go do his school shopping. We have to get all of his school supplies and some new clothes for school as well, he is growing like a WEED! LOL! |

2,073,622 | female | 35 | indUnk | Aries | 02,August,2004 | Boy did we have a blast up there! We camped out all weekend in Cave City, KY - Mammoth Caves. It was real fun. We got bad thunderstorms Friday night, but it was beautiful the rest of the weekend. Kids had a blast, and the adults did too! I was worn out, really just beat after it was all said and done, but it was a good tired! We went through the caverns on Sunday morning and that was really interesting. It was a 2 hour hike through the caves - about 2 miles and it was cold in there! We were prepared for it, thank goodness, so we stayed fairly warm. Then we got back outside where it was just roasting hot and very humid. Headed back home Sunday night after stopping for dinner and ice cream. We ate SO much this weekend...food, food, food - my kind of camping trip! All of the great camping food, cooked out over an open fire - YUM! So, now I need to watch what I eat again and work this off! Oh well, it was worth it. Anyway, we are definitely planning on doing this again, it was just So much fun! It was a good place too, almost exactly halfway in between us and my brother's in Cinci. - worked out well. There was lots to do around there and we didn't do much of it....so next time we'll do more! This trip comes highly recommended! |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 29,June,2004 | I don't really have an idea for a good post today so I thought I'd post some quick thoughts on random subjects. 1. My daughter, Isabella, is growing up way too fast. That being said, I love this age (15 months) that she is right now. She's saying a few words now 'dite (light),' 'uh-oh,' 'hey' or 'hi' and the occasional da-da (which is always music to my ears). She started walking kind of late (in my view at least) but now she's really getting around and getting really brave. She has three more teeth coming in, all on the top (two of which are the front two). Raising her is, in a word, awesome. It's also a daunting task for my wife Shannon being the stay-at-home mom. I really appreciate that role a lot more than I used to and I think it's one of the most important things parents can do if they are able. I love my two ladies very much. 2. Iraq is now a sovereign nation now. A note passed to Bush had the words 'Let Freedom Reign' scribbled on it. I don't know who wrote that but what a historic day for Iraq and what a perfect sentiment. I'm still nervous about this whole thing and I don't know that things are going to get better overnight. I think, in the long run, this is a crossroads for the Middle East. They have two choices: freedom or terror. I pray they choose the former. 3. On another political note, 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is coming to our local theater (we have one 8-screen theater in a town of about 13,000) this weekend. I actually thought about seeing it but I really have no use for propaganda films. Michael Moore says the film is an op-ed piece. That's his opinion and he's free to express it. More power to him I say. He will not, however, be getting one red cent of my money via a trip to the theater or on DVD. That's my protest. I always thought that people who protested 'The Passion of the Christ' should've just shut up about it and not payed to see it. That probably would've stopped many others from seeing it because once it became a hit, everybody wanted to see it. 4. I watched 'School of Rock' (on loan from Mike Weisensteiner-thanks Mike) this past Saturday. Hilarious movie. Jack Black is a little over the top but in a good way. It made me want to pick up my electric guitar after it was over and rock out a bit. That's the sign of a good music movie to me. 5. We also rented 'Welcome To Mooseport,' 'The Blue Collar Comedy Tour' and Disc 2 of Season 3 of 'The Sopranos' this past weekend. 'WTM' gets 2 1/2 stars out of four. Funny but not hilarious. 'BCCT' gets the same. Maybe I was just too tired but Larry the Cable Guy is funny for about 2 seconds before I lose patience. Jeff Foxworthy is always funny to me. The other two guys, ... eh, whatever. Episodes 5-7 of Season 3 of 'The Sopranos' were excellent. (I don't get HBO so I'm renting the seasons on DVD a bit at a time). However, one episode that prominently featured the Bada Bing club and its goings-on disturbed me a bit. Shannon doesn't like the fact that I like this show or mob movies in general. After seeing that episode, I can see why. Still, the writers never glamorize the lives of these people. They show them as they are, warts and all. I still think Tony will die in the last season. You reap what you sow. 6. I got a big picture of Christopher Walken to put in my basement. Shannon thinks it's creepy, I think it's awesome. ;-) It's a lovely day in southern Indiana and I hope it is wherever you are. |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 24,June,2004 | urlLink Are you ready to rock? ;-) On my walks to and from work today, I heard many songs on the old iPod. However, one in particular made me start thinking. Don't laugh, but it was Steelheart's 'I'll Never Let You Go.' How many of you even remember that song? It's the one hit from those guys. The singer belts out those super high notes in various points throughout the song. 'Angel Eyes, you have angel eyes/Such a smile that lights up my life ... I'll never let you go/You're always on my mind/You're the only one for me/You're all I see/And I'll never, never let you go.' Anyhow, I got to thinking that of all those 80s hair metal bands, they all had their one power ballad it seemed. It was a guaranteed hit because the public ate them up. I goof around on my guitar and have shown some folks my 80s power ballad medley. Every Rose/Heaven/Don't Know what You Got/I Remember You, etc., etc. They all sounded the same but they were all monster hits back in the day. Now, I know you're thinking that the power ballad died when 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' hit the airwaves with a vengeance in 1991. You would be oh so wrong my friend. The power ballad only went into hiding for a brief few years. Check out some of the songs I've noticed that were hits in the last few years. These are all power ballads. Maybe they don't have the glass-breaking notes of the 80s songs, but they all fit the standard format: begin soft-big chorus-soft again-big chorus again-possible inclusion of a guitar solo and/or string section-big chorus. 'Here Without You' - 3 Doors Down 'The Reason' - Hoobastank 'Like A Stone' - Audioslave 'I Am The Highway' - Audioslave 'Hero' - Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott (Spiderman soundtrack) Creed had a whole mess of them ('With Arms Wide Open,' 'My Sacrifice,' 'My Own Prison,' 'One Last Breath') Evanescence - 'My Immortal' (at least the radio version was) Fuel - 'Hemorrhage (In My Hands),' 'Innocent' Lenny Kravitz - 'Again' Switchfoot - 'Dare You to Move' Seether Featuring Amy Lee - 'Broken' These are just some examples. All of the above were hits in the very recent past or are hits now. In fact, many of today's praise & worship songs for churches are nothing more than power ballads with 'Christian' lyrics. I guess the more things change, the more they stay them same. Just a piece of advice to all the bands out there; if you need a hit, you can't go wrong with a good, solid power ballad. :-) |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 22,June,2004 | urlLink Satchmo This is the first post in a (hopefully) regular series of posts on a musical moment I noticed during the day. Today, after lunch at home, I walked out the door for my walk back to work. As always when I walk, my iPod was right there with me. I stepped out the door and 'What A Wonderful World' just happened to start right at that moment. 'I see trees of green/Red roses too/I watch them bloom/For me and you/And I think to myself/What a wonderful world.' At that moment the sky was a radiant blue and to my right, roses were indeed in full bloom in a neighbor's front yard. Sappy, sure but the mood was right and the world was right as Louis Armstrong sang one of my 'funeral songs' (a song I want played at my funeral) in that gravelly voice that fits the song so well. Absolutely classic. |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 21,June,2004 | Here are some things I'm thankful for today. (In no particular order) 1.) God's grace and faithfulness to me even though I'm not always faithful to Him. 2.) A sunny day in the mid-70s. Another great day to walk to work. Not too hot, not too cold. 3.) Music. My iPod has over 4500 songs on it and I'm in the midst of a 700 song playlist (I'm in the mid-500s) for my walks to work. 'Last Goodbye' by Jeff Buckley has been the musical highlight of the day so far. 4.) My family. I got to see my mom, dad, sister and her future husband yesterday. It was a grueling day (5 hours total for a 2-hour mealtime together) but it was worth it. Also, my daughter and my wife are two of the most beautiful creatures God ever made (others may disagree with this but this is my blog isn't it?). ;-) 5.) My job. I may complain about the pay quite a bit but I really couldn't ask for a better job. I kind of fell into designing but I can see how I've been heading toward it for a big portion of my life. I may not get rich, OK, I won't get rich doing this, but the hours are great and I get to be creative every day and hold a product in my hand daily where i can say, 'this is what I did today.' What are a few things that you thankful for right now. |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 16,June,2004 | urlLink I've currently got the above book checked out from the library. I've heard David Sedaris on NPR's 'This American Life' before. I can't say that I agree with his lifestyle choice (he's gay, just for the record) but his musings on life growing up in North Carolina is a riot. The funniest chapter so far is about his brother. In the midst of a family of refined former New Yorkers stuck in (what they think is) Hick-ville, North Carolina, Sedaris' brother is woefully out of place. He is born and raised in Carolina and is Southern to the bone. He calls himself 'The Rooster.' It's definitely not a book for the faint of heart (again, the lifestyle choice and language are the main pitfalls) but I think it's pretty funny and it makes want to read more by Sedaris. I believe he has three or four more books of essays out there. So, what book(s) are you reading these days? |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 14,June,2004 | Our church, the urlLink Christian Church of Jasper, is in the full Vacation Bible School mode this week. This is only my second year of being involved here after many years of attending as a kid myself at Fairview Baptist Church in Paris, TN. A few things are different but mostly, VBS is a pretty constant thing at most churches. This year, I am leading the music (just me and my guitar) with all the kids at the beginning and ending of each night of VBS. Here are a few things I have learned in my stay: — It's much more nerve-racking getting in front of kids to play than adults. The kids don't get my lame, subtle jokes (because, well, they are lame I guess). Lesson learned. Try to think like a kid, not an adult. — Kids love the action songs. 'Father Abraham' is probably the best song ever written in their opinion. For this week, it's my favorite too. If it gets them moving, I'm all for it. It's kind of hard to do arm motions and whatnot while playing the guitar but that perfectly alright with me because I could never do motions without feeling self-conscious. That's why it's best for me just to play 'Lord, I Lift Your Name On High' and not do the arm motions. — Kids have great 'fake' detectors. they can sense pretty quick when you are really interested in them and when someone is just putting on a show for them. So, after much apprehension, this week has begun well. I'll be pretty tired by Thursday night but, in the long run, it'll be worth it. |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 08,June,2004 | Recently, our church, urlLink the Christian Church of Jasper, wrapped up its urlLink 40 Days of Purpose. I'm not big on trends within modern-day Christianity and I initially brushed off Rick Warren's 'The Purpose-Driven Life' as just another fad like Jabez or the prosperity gospel folks. However, when we started talking about doing the 40 Days campaign, I decided to give it a fair shot. I had checked out 'The Purpose-Driven Life' from my local library and skimmed through a few chapters and realized that maybe there was a bit more to this than just the latest trend we Christians get so often caught up in. Here are some things I learned through each one of the purposes. Not all of the things I learned were new, in fact, I have heard all of it before. However, this hit home with me at this stage in my life. 1. Worship: Planned For God's Pleasure - Worship isn't just a service on Sunday morning, it is our whole lives. Me sitting here typing this out should be pleasing to God. This is a difficult thing for many to understand, I believe, because Americans tend to segregate their lives into segments (i.e. this is my work life, I'll go home to my home life, Sunday will be my spiritual life, etc.). Am I making God smile with my actions? Can others see Him in my life? 2. Fellowship: Part Of God's Family - Our spiritual family is to be as close, if not closer, than blood family. I was always a little uneasy with this idea because it smelled of cult-ism to me. I have found the opposite to be true since we moved to Jasper almost 4 years ago. If it had not been for our church family, there's no way we'd be here now and that would've been a shame because God has really blessed us here. 3. Discipleship: To Be Like Christ - Work like you're working for Jesus, count it joy when your face trials ('hello friend' - a few of you will get that one), seek to be like Christ in your everyday walk. Not much new here but a very solid reenforcement for me. The chapter on defeating temptation blew my mind. I had always though that to overcome temptation, you had to supress the thoughts which led to the tempting. Warren says to defeat temptation, you simply 'change the channel in your mind.' 'Supressing it will cause you to dwell on it more which makes it twice as hard to defeat it.' I had never honestly thought about it that way before. 4. Ministry: Being A Worker For God - God has called us to be more than pew-sitters. He gave us abilities and gifts to use for His sake (insert dc talk's 'Time Is' song here: 'and just as He's given, He can surely take.') :-) 5. Mission: Evangelism - This one convicted me. I often shrink from conversations about God at work. In the weeks we focused on evangelism, I became very aware of how God was bringing people to me and that I should be talking about things that were of Him instead of avoiding the topic. How many people will go into eternity without Christ because I didn't want them to think I was 'weird?' All in all, I think the 40 Days of Purpose was well worth everything we put into it as a church. I know Warren has his critics and I won't attempt to answer all criticism here (I have some of my own - nothing major though). It helped solidify in me that I am here for a reason and that reason is not to have the life I want, but to do what HE wants me to do with what He has given me. |

You can cheat if you want by looking it up. :-) 'The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.' |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 08,June,2004 | OK, I tracked down a way to leave comments without having to register with blogspot. I tinkered with the html so much my head hurts. Of course that may be the paint fumes here at the office where they are remodeling. ;-) I guess this is what happens when a html-moron like me starts messing with code. It was kind of fun though and, hopefully, I can keep working on the site to make it more user-friendly and well-designed. |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 07,June,2004 | Over at urlLink this post and urlLink my 'Welcome' post , I offered bonus points for the correct ID of songs. I thought, 'hey, what a cheap trick to get people to return to your blog everyday.' I even made a little 'Bonus Points Leader Board' on the sidebar. Hopefully, I'll keep up this contest of useless pop culture knowledge and hopefull, you all will play. Hey, who knows, you may get a prize someday (but don't hold your breath). :-) Bonus Points for 06-08-04: ID who said it and from what it came from (i.e. what movie, TV show, song, etc.) 'Just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it.' Thanks for playing. |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 07,June,2004 | urlLink What I'm currently listening to: 1. My iPod mix. A bit of everything and everything in between. 2. Third Day: 'Wire' The band is getting back to their more rocking sound on this album. It's not my favorite 3D album but it's still pretty good and worth the $10 I spent on it. 3. Jars of Clay: 'Who We Are Instead' If you had asked me 7 years ago if I would be listening to Jars of Clay today, I might have spit on you. However, I am older now and the lyrical content of this album is pretty awesome. Musically, I like it. It's dark and kind of mellow and haunting. Cool stuff. 4. Hanson: 'Underneath' I hear you laughing out there. These guys never got a fair shake. If you like solid pop/rock songs, you'll like this. 'Penny & Me' should be a smash radio single if anything by matchbox twenty is a hit. It won't be though and that's really too bad. What are you listening to these days? Bonus points to anyone who guesses the name of the song the post's title comes from. (Song and artist). You Thinklings can't play on this one. It's far too easy for you all. |

3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 06,June,2004 | Since I am new to having my own blog, here are some notes for anyone who visits Alien Soil. 1. Sorry about having to register to leave coments with your name attached. As far as I know, blogspot (who hosts this site) wants this to be done. You can always post as 'Anonymous' and leave your name at the end of your comment. Please don't avoid the site because of this. That would make me very sad :-( 2. Hopefully, soon, I can make a little sidebar with some of my favorite links. For now, here are some of my favorite sites: urlLink Christian Church of Jasper This is the church where I am a member and part of the worship team. urlLink The Thinklings Weblog This is where I got my blogging start. They are great guys so please check that site out. urlLink Mysterium Tremendum This is Thinkling Jared's solo blog. Jared is the only Thinkling I have ever met personally. He and I had several religion classes together at Middle Tennessee State University. Jared is a great guy so check his site out too. urlLink Thunderstruck 'A Truckstop for the soul.' This is a site that collects articles from across the Web that (sometimes) relate to Christians making an impact in the culture. Thanks again for visiting. |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 06,June,2004 | Today didn't start out so good for me. Isabella woke up about an hour and a half earlier than usual so that meant Shannon couldn't get everything done as fast as she usually can because she needed to tend to Isabella. I wrote my tithe check out this morning and got depressed looking at what was left (not a good attitude, I know). I went out to the car to get to band practice before church this morning and the battery was dead. Great. Just great. I thought about ripping up that tithe check so that we would have the cash to buy a new battery. Then I said to God, 'I will be faithful and give this money back to you even though I (humanly) can't see how we're gonna do this.' So, we gave our tithe and offering check. After church, a very dear friend of ours gave Shannon some folded up money. Shannon tried to refuse but our friend was hearing none of it. The new battery cost us almost exactly what she had given us. Some may scoff, but I say God works through faithful people to aid people like us. He humbled me. For that, the provision and our friend, I am so very thankful. |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 05,June,2004 | Ronald Reagan died today. He was the first president I remember. In fact, I had a Reagan/Bush bumper sticker on my BMX in the '84 campaign. I'm guessing my dad gave it to me. Reagan, I believe, had a sense of what was right and what was wrong and he stuck to it. Much like W. Bush today, he took a lot of flak for his black & white view of things. For that, I respect him. RIP Mr. Reagan. God Bless you Nancy for your dedication to him through a very slow and painful goodbye. |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 04,June,2004 | My church, the urlLink Christian Church of Jasper in Jasper, IN is about to wrap up our 40 Days of Purpose campaign. I found this on urlLink Christianity Today's Web site a few weeks back and thought it was pretty funny. Top 10 Signs 40 Days of Purpose is almost over 10. You can't wait for the sequel, 40 Days of Vacation. 9. You've heard Song of Solomon is being re-released as The Purpose-Driven Sex Life. 8. Your congregation talks about 'Pastor Rick' as if he were on staff. 7. You're convinced you'll find your S.H.A.P.E. at the gym. 6. You were planned for God's pleasure. Your spouse was planned for God's pleasure. You just wonder when your pleasure gets addressed. 5. You've bought seven Bible translations quoted in the book and you're looking for more. 4. You're still on Day 11. 3. You've begun writing the next mega-hit, The Purpose Driven Vente No Whip Caramel Machiatto. 2. Your ushers are wearing flowered shirts. 1. You'll be glad you can get back to having no idea what your purpose is—and just watch TV. -Submitted by John Talbert, San Jose, California |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 04,June,2004 | A bit about me & my blog: I might be inconsistent about blogging. I may not ever take this very far. The name Alien Soil is my take on my time on planet earth. I am married with one child. I am a Christian. I am an IMPERFECT person. I am a page designer at a small newspaper. I love my job. Jesus and mama always loved me. :-) (Anyone know the song reference there? - Bonus points if you get it right.) Stay tuned... |
3,544,122 | male | 27 | Communications-Media | Aries | 30,July,2004 | I've been in a funk nearly all week for various reasons. Nothing major, just a low kind of feeling. I'm curious, what do you all do when you're in this state? |
