Random Rantings Friday
Ladies, and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, Welcome back to another wonderful day of randomness. Brought to you by the numbers 2 and 7 and the letter R. Yes that’s right folks it’s Random Rantings Friday… Lets party!
I love black licorice. I realize the majority of planet earth loathes this tasty treat, I however absolutely love it. If anyone ever wants to get me a gift, a bag of black licorice Red Vines, or a bag of Black Jelly beans will always put a smile on my face… hint hint
My Dad is in town this weekend! I love it when Pops comes to town. I’ve said it before, he’s a really good man.
Ahmadinejad is continuing his Islamic conservatism by requiring law officers to enforce the traditional Islamic dress code for women.
Humans are eternal beings, really! Meaning that whether in the eternal city or the lake of fire, Human beings live forever. I guess that T-shirt I used to sport in Junior High was spot on: “Life is Short, Eternity is Long… Hope you know Jesus.”
The Virginia Tech professor, Liviu Librescu, who died saving his students lives, was 76 years old, and a Jewish holocaust survivor. He was buried today. I pray that before he was put to sleep that he knew Jesus.
Little Stephen Hawking is completely geeked out that he’s going get to experience Zero G’s.
I’m a musician, but I don’t feel like one. I’m a drummer at IHOP, I’m also approved to play the guitar. I studied music theory in High School for 2 years, and 2 outside of High School, yet I’ve really never felt like a musician. I walked into the Drum store to buy drum sticks this week, and I felt like I had crossed the tracks into another gangs territory… I’ve never quite understood why.
Unemployed and need a job? I got an Idea you should set fire to the only unemployment office in your city! Well at least that’s what this guy did… (story)
An update on the girl I like. Thanks to Sliker her identity isn’t much of a secret anymore, however I choose ambiguity. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite people, so many reasons why. She is the perfect blend of so many things I like, and she’s so pulchritudinous that it’s almost painful. I’m really enjoying the journey of becoming her friend.
I won a free 3 day 2 night all expenses paid trip to Orlando Florida last month. I’m taking J, we’re going max and relax with lemon aid and good times. I can’t wait.
Here are some random tid bits about my favorite things:
Jupiter is my favorite planet, Purple is my favorite color, Violets are my favorite flower, I love Mexican food, driving with the windows down, and exploring places I’ve never been. I live for Today, trust the Lord for tomorrow, eat the word, pray for revival, and drink coffee during every event. I love Burger King Whoppers, National Public radio and This American Life. I read the New York Times, study theology, and frequent TED conference recordings. I enjoy working out, listening to Elvis Costello, and being on time. I think Warren Harding was a bad President, and Woodrow Wilson was a good one, my favorite President was John Adams. I’m conservative on domestic issues, liberal on world issues, John McCain is my favorite Politician. My favorite Book of the Bible is Ecclesiastes, my least favorite book is Catcher in the Rye (well written, but more negative than the bottom side of a battery.) I LOVE reading, and I love Books, I hate TV, but enjoy a good documentary, or Family film. I hope to one day vacation in Bora Bora, own a bookstore/coffee shop, and change a generation. Ranting is my favorite, blogging is another favorite, yet randomness takes the cake!
What are some of your favorite things?
Oh and I’m finnaly getting my gutters fixed professionally so they’ll last! (random ain’t it great)
I’m out like a Bush appointed attorney…
Oh how I miss those silly t-shirts we all use to wear in Junior High.
I really thought I was changing the world wearing those things.
Congrats on your secret being revealed without losing your friendship! That’s a very good sign…
I used to have a sweet t-shirt that on the front it said “no Jesus no peace” and then on the back it said “Know Jesus know peace”. I use to wear that shirt all the time.
I like Dave Sliker. He is here at ZHOP doing a conference this weekend and well, he’s pretty amazing. I also like the color green, random things and cool details.
Hey, purple is my favorite color, too!
And when I was in Jr. High, I had a shirt that said, “Watching the sky, ready to fly…” …Oops.
Free trip to a coast? Very cool. How’d you pull that one off?
I love the start-up sound of the old dial up internet connection (unsure of the technical term).
I love Pop-Up-Video on VH1.
I love strawbery Pop tarts without the frosting. I love it when the EGS services are short.
Hm… well I like you. That’s about all I can come up with right now.
Z–
I understand the drum-store comment. If you’re not in the “scene” you get a lot of cold looks. I recommend Guitar Center over Explorers, by the way. I’ve found that chains are easier to break through that than local stores.
It reminds me of Jack Black’s character in a movie I saw once. He played this classic rock snob who worked in a record store and was completely unhelpful to customers. He used his expertise as license to condescend rather than an opportunity to serve.
There’s probably a lesson in that.
Whos is this mystery girl?
I love the color purple. I love dancing in the rain mid summer. I love the sound of a marching band warming up. I love being awake when the rest of the world is asleep. I love phone calls from friends who just call to say hey. I love sitting alone and journaling for hours at a time. I love dried flowers and rock music. I love listening to musicians talk music theory. I love real Korean food and Goldilock’s polvoron from the Philipines.
@ Hailsky only the most amazing girl on the planet!
@ Bret That is my favorite movie, that now more redeemed I’ll never see again. but that was the greatest movie ever, It’s called High Fidelity. I feel John Cusak and I have something in common in the way we think…
@ Jen, J and I are thinking about taking a trip out there this summer…
@ Gregg C I totally miss that start up sound when you dial up! I also miss the AOL “good-bye” it was so quant.
@ amanda “wating the sky ready to fly” you used to be pre trib!! I love it!
Which is fine cause I used to be no trib.
Zack, it would probably be more accurate to say that I was pan-mil, really hoping that pre-trib was right.
I thought there was no way to know for sure, but I really wanted to be off the planet before the ugly stuff hit. So I was pre-trib.
Very theological of me, I know.
Dude, you guys totally should!! That would be awesome… maybe you two can incorporate the splits video into one of our sets somehow…?
(Yea, I know the video is old, but it’s still funny to me…) When were y’all thinkin about coming?
I like a good cup of coffee, the sound of a sleeping baby, rainy days, and being a mom.
I love hearing my husband play guitar in the PR and watching him BE who he was meant to be.
I love hearing my boys in the basement making music together.
I love hearing my daughter sing spontaneouly in her bedroom, when she thinks no one is listening!
