Nice
Be afraid GDIT, be very afraid.......

A new year means i can now make resolutions that no one will remember by the end of this upcoming year...
Although by putting my resolution on here... you can't really forget ....
Anyways..
My goal by the end of this year is to successfully say that this year was better than last year...
If I succeed then.. woo hoo... if not.. at least last year was awesome!

To look back at last year.. it was actually pretty eventful, not sure how i'm gonna top last year...
I got a job, went to cali basically for free, and went to Thailand...
Thank you LORD for 2011!
He has been so faithful, how can i not live a life of worship?

I recently started having back spasms.. when i tell you it is quite possibly the worst feeling in the world... i am not exaggerating... and this is coming from someone who has watched 3 entire episodes of Jersey Shore in one sitting....
Nothing makes you feel older than having a back injury...
Along with knee injuries... and you just lose all motivation to do anything... which is exactly what i did for 2 weeks...
Went to a youth retreat during this time looking to relax and worship
Worship was possible... relaxing was not
Whether it was making sure my kids were up and about, or making sure our skit wasn't embarrassing (failed attempt)... i wasn't able to get any kind of rest...
But at the same time, it was all so familiar.. it felt... right...
Can't explain it
God is good...

I recently started watching Studio 6o on the Sunset Strip
Pretty good show.. only lasted one season.. but still, pretty good
I love watching a show within a show... an inception of sorts in a TV kind of way
It's about what goes on "behind the scenes" of a show very similar to Saturday Night Live
It tries to make you think that this show is "real" and "raw"
It doesn't for me, but what i really enjoy about this show is the dialogue and chemistry these people seem to have
For me, the story can be stupid but if it has dialogue that's either insightful or comedic.. sign me up...
That's why I love Gladiator... more than the action... when Russell Crowe busts out in the:
I AM MAXIMUS MERIDAS, GENERAL OF THE
FELIX REGIMENT OF THE ROMAN ARMY AND
SERVANT TO THE EMPEROR MARCUS
AURELIUS!
I AM FATHER TO A MURDERED SON AND
HUSBAND TO A MURDERED WIFE AND
LANDLORD TO A MURDERED WORLD -- AND
I WILL HAVE VENGEANCE IN THIS LIFETIME OR THE NEXT!
after Commodus asks who he is ....I cry
(sorry about the caps lock, i like the dramatics of this quote)
And yes.. i realize this may be more of a "monologue" but Commodus does ask maximus who he is.. to be fair...

or anytime anyone speaks in Pulp Fiction
or when Neo meets Morpheus for the first time
and that's what Ellen Page is so endearing in Juno

Anyways... yea.. this is the year of watching great TV

I don't think that's where i was heading with this.....

I was also watching Parks and Recreation and realized that Andy Dwyer would probably be one of the most amazing people to be friends with
I think of Chris Cooley when I watch Andy Dwyer on P&R

Something i've realized while watching all this TV is that I watch way too much tv....
Shocker, yes
But not for the reason that you think
I love that TV melts my brain cells and will eventually be the reason I'm 300 pounds and alone for the rest of my life
It's the fact that TV gives me unrealistic expectations of life....
Because of TV i'm lead to believe that in a club, i am expected to know all the moves to a choreographed dance in order to fit in with the hippest crew..
yes.. i said hippest...
or that by simply being a sub-par actor who gets maybe 2 jobs a year can afford a nice apartment in the middle of New York
Or that i could get away with being a serial killer, if i'm serially killing serial killers..
Nice life

Don't get faked out ladies and gentleman
Live life according to a different standard
Insert religious quotes... here

Orange Soda is a gift from God

Sports will eventually be my downfall
I already have a jersey curse.. i'm afraid of what's next
My body has been worn down
99% of the teams i cheer for fail
God is telling me something....
Something about.. worshiping idols i think....
Naw... that can't be it... can it...?

I'll think of something better for next time....
Until then.. think of good topics for me...
