Today's Chuck Norris Fact:
Chuck Norris uses 8'x10' sheets of plywood as toilet paper.
So...is everyone else already as sick of the iPhone as I am? I don't even care that it's only offered on my carrier, Cingular. I don't care that it's a pretty cool phone. It already has a strike against it: Apple makes it. When Apple makes something, they don't make a product, they make a lifestyle; I already have a lifestyle, and it's not compatible with Apple's lifestyle.
But the worst part is the hype. You'd think the iPhone was the second coming of Jesus. I've already had so many people mention the stupid thing to me, I don't ever want to hear about it again. I just want someone else to come out with something that can equal or better it. That's all I ask.
So what's up at Taco Bell? They give you 300 sauce packets, and 1 napkin. "Sorry, sir...there's a worldwide napkin shortage."
I've come to a very important decision. I must have "Boomer Sooner" played at my funeral. That's all there is to it.
Did any of you see the previews for that movie, "Black Christmas"? I guess some folks can take anything, even Christmas, and make it evil and horrific.
It's too bad that football season is over. (I know, I know, the NFL playoffs are still going on, but that means what to me? The NFL is a big gimmick. It's only popular because people like playing fantasy football.) The good part, though, is that now I can focus all my attention on hockey and lacrosse. If you've never had an opportunity to watch an indoor lacrosse game, I highly recommend it. Hockey is great, fast and very physical. Lacrosse is just as fast, just as physical, and has more scoring! It's WIN-WIN!!!
Now, all we have to do is get rid of basketball, and life will be perfect.
Can we PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE not have any more cold and snow? Those of you who've been reading my blog for a while know how much I love cold weather and especially snow. (I wish there were a font I could use that could properly convey the correct amount of sarcasm in that last sentence.) I'll just be glad when we get back to decent temperatures again. With three months left in Denver's snow season, we're already only a few inches short of the average snowfall total for the ENTIRE SEASON. I can't stand shoveling the stuff, I can't stand driving in the stuff, and I can't stand walking in the stuff. I'll just be glad when it's May again.
I'm not a huge anti-abortion person, but I heard an interesting statement by Bill Maher. He said this as a joke, of course: "Kids are hard, but there has to be some penalty for sex." To me, that statement represents the perfect liberal view of what sex/children/abortion is really all about. Maher's callous statement, even in jest, merely underscores that what he and others of his ilk really want is a lack of consequences for their actions. I do not support abortion except in cases of rape, incest, where the health of the mother is at extreme risk, or if the child would be terribly deformed or face extreme physical challenges if taken to term. I will not actively fight for abortion to be made illegal, but I will urge people to be smart. Abortion merely gives stupid people the right to be irresponsible. If it's that much of a problem, let's take a more proactive approach and sterilize those people, at least temporarily.
Perhaps the real problem is that we as a society don't take sex seriously enough. Obviously, Bill Maher doesn't.
So far 2007 has been a good year. I made some resolutions, like I do every year. I tried to make them more attainable by making them more specific and more concrete. Here they are:
1. Practice mandolin at least 3 times a week
2. Pray and make time for God every day
3. Exercise at least 4 times a week
4. Reset my focus on my work
Notice there's no "Stop _______" resolution. I've tried that in the past, but I thought this year I would make my resolutions more positive. I hope you all are having as good a year as I am so far. I hope mine, and yours, is wonderful and stays that way.
Thanks for reading along.
