This evening, Dana reminded me that she didn't like it when I drank out of a mug, rather than the plethora of glasses we have. After nearly four years of marriage, she still did not know I prefer my milk in a mug - something about the handle and the thick porcelain make milk even more delicious. (Real milk - not nasty soy milk. blech) Here are some other things I'm not sure Dana (or anyone else knows) about me.
- I have only purchased one hat in my life. A navy blue Gonzaga hat that was a dual homage to John Stockton and this guy.
- Over the course of my life, I have wanted to earn my living being a veterinarian, a fighter pilot, and a high school English teacher. I kind of wanted to be in the NBA, but knew early on that wasn't going to happen.
- I think black licorice is the devil. There is nothing nastier.
- When I eat Starburst, possibly my favorite candy, I suck on it and let it get soft before chewing it up. My favorite type of candy is gummi though - gummi bears, worms, pterodactyls - whatever.
- I own more Stephen King books than any other author. Not sure I wanted to admit that - but horror aside, he really is a tremendous story teller.
- I am terrified of spiders.
- When I was younger, I was scared a burglar would break into my home through my window - so I made my brother sleep closer to the window so said burglar would kill him. In the process of killing him, I was sure I would wake up, and be able to run.
- I have never owned a pair of Air Jordans. I did rock the Reebok Pumps though. (The best part was letting the air OUT - pssssssssssss)
- I made up a dance called "the flea". And have performed it on several occasions - only for Dana though!
- I think people falling down is, for some reason, ridiculously hilarious. (I really honestly try not to laugh...but I am laughing right now typing this.)
- I am a cover guy when I am sleeping. Even when it is super hot, I need some covers.
- I would rather smell poop than the spray air freshener people use to cover it up.
- I was on the quick recall team in elementary and middle school. I started my forth and fifth grade year. (Bzzzz - Aburndale, Brown.)

Ruh - Ruh - Random; I'm just blogging about the things that come to my head 4:19 PM
I am so super stoked about an upcoming program in the youth ministry that I can hardly contain myself. "i heART Jesus" is an organic conversation between scriptures and the arts. It will allow artistically inclined students to explore their giftedness through painting, music, drama, and writing. Students will be connected to adults who will guide them through the artistic process. The program will be capped off with a show at the beginning of November where students can display their work. You should pray about this.
I started school this past Tuesday. I have been blessed to have a class with some of my most spectacular friends in all the land. For the first time of my schoolin' career, I felt totally uneasy and not excited at all. As soon as West-Texas-bred Steve Martyn said "I jus' want to blesssss youu" in his down-home Texas drawl, the excitement juice started pumping again. It peaked when, during convocation (opening chapel) Bill Goold, (whose voice is what I always pretended God's sounded like) busted out the two Asbury fight songs (not really fight songs as much as trademark hymns) and ol' Ellsworth gave a halftime-worthy message.
Why does the NFL have Kelly Clarkson and Faith Hill kicking off the season? Are they trying to appeal to the middle-aged women demographic? I understand I am on my way out of the cool 18-25 male demographic, but Faith Hill especially looked out of place. "This Kiss" indeed.
I like Whoopi Goldberg alot. I hope she doesn't pull a "Rosie" on The View.
On Facebook, there are several "One Million Strong Against Hillary" and "I will leave the country if Hillary is elected" groups. Why such vitriol? Because she didn't divorce Bill? Because she actually attempted to be a first lady that did more than host tea-parties and easter egg hunts? I'm not necessarily a huge Hillary guy, I'm just wondering why everyone hates her so much.
My little boy is getting big inside of my wife's belly. Every time the little man kicks her belly, he moves my heart.
(ok, that was a little Hallmark-card-sappy)
(but I don't take it back)
