Random Rantings Monday
Here we go again random rantings on another random day…
I haven’t been blogging all that regularly lately, mostly because I’ve been busy like a bee, and sick like a Dog.
Scientists have found that flies are dying 15% faster than normal because of their sense of smell… apartenly they are smelling their way to an early grave…
I love and grew up on rap and hip hop music, but in an effort to put no unclean thing before my senses that nixes most of the good stuff… except I’ve found a new love for the group Cross Movements, their like the Wu Tang of christian rap…
Update on the girl I like… it’s at the same place… but we’ve been getting to talk a lot more lately… she is incredible… smart, God fearing, fun to chat with… but yet beginning to wonder if she’ll just end up being a really good friend… which isn’t so bad, just means I might have to put the periscope back up…or not… honestly I have no clue, but she is vast in pulchritude…
My intern makeover was a success… He feels great about himself and no longer looks like a hobo… He’s been smiling a lot lately which in turn has made me smile much more as well…
My house makeover is coming along nicely, the beautiful wood flooring has transformed my living room… My dinning room is next and it’s coming along nicely…
My life is not my own, the more I lead young adults, the more i realize that my holiness effects their holiness…
Obama is on the rise… he’s 2 points behind Hilary and making a push to pass… although it’s way to early in the game to make any definitive statements… I predict an Obama/Clinton ticket in November ‘08… Oh God have mercy…
I’ve always liked the word Bronchitis… it just rolls off the tounge in such a pleasant way… it’s a shame it’s meaning is so wretched…
I’m taking a 2 day retreat this weekend at a retreat center just outside of K.C.. I hope to come back rested and having had written a whole lot…
I have the greatest life of anyone I know… I have the best friends, the best family, the best parents, the best sister, I have all I could ever ask for and have made many mistakes that though were hard I’m greatful for the experiances… I look forward to enduring this life with the people God has placed around me… I am truly blessed…
random end
Whoa. You think “bronchitis” is a fun word? IMHO, it sounds about as unpleasant as the disease it describes…
I remember hearing once that someone got a group of people together who didn’t speak English, in order to conduct a study where of how pleasing certain English words sounded. Since the people in the group didn’t speak the language, they were able to answer objectively on how it sounded and not what it meant.
One of the words considered to be most pretty was “diarrhea.”
Wish I could remember where I heard that…
Whew. That second paragraph was almost coherent… I don’t think I’ll even attempt to save it. It’s been a long day.
diarrhea does have a nice ring to it… but(no pun intended) rings to much on the side of experiance… diarrhea is gross…
Wow… saying bronchitis rolls off the tongue in a pleasant way is akin to calling German an attractive, romantic language.
It would be interesting to find out more about the study mentioned in Amanda’s “almost coherent” paragraph. Is there anyone out there (clearly not me) who is willing to put forth the effort to find it?
Obama/Clinton? No way, bro. She’s already rode into the white house on one man’s coattails. She’ll never do it again. There are no yard signs big enough for those two egos.
i know someone has probably asked this question before but does the girl you like ever read your blog!
Oh man i am so jealous that you get to go on a retreat! they are always awesome for the soul… enjoy!
no I’m like almost positive that she doesn’t and if she did… oh well it’s I’m not revealing anything she doesn’t really know…
@ Randy I think She’ll fold and do it once she looses to him in the primaries… First women Vice president, running with the first black president thats a historic president that I can’t see her passing up
I am officially stealing that plurchitude word..it means beauty…you know this but I don’t and now I do and for this I am thanking you.
woohoo! i am well-pleased, mr. hensley. : )
yay random rantings!
I do have to say pulchritude has been one of my favorite words for years. However we would convert it to an adjective. For example, “My, you are looking very pulchritudinous today!” I doubt it is a real word, but it is just more fun to say.
Charity, I think that isn’t really a word, but hey if it isn’t, it should be.
For all those out there who like etymology (the study of where words came from) here’s a tidbit.
Pulchritude comes from the Latin 1st/2nd declension adjective pulcher, pulhra, pulchrum ; which means pretty, handsome, etc.
oops, i misspelled pulchra
I used to cry to some of CrossMovement’s songs. Those guys love Jesus.
