My Top Five Sports Movies:

5. Field of Dreams. A great movie that is really about fathers and sons. This was a close one between this movie and THE SANDLOT, but Field of Dreams won out for one important reason: James Earl Jones. His “people will come” speech still gives me goose bumps.

4. Rudy. Just a great feel good movie about an underachiever who did something special.

3. Caddyshack. The best golf movie ever…and possibly one of the most often quoted sports movies of all time. A hilarious cast and terrific script.

2. Cinderella Man. Amazing cast, incredibly shot, and a truly heart warming story that is based upon the true story of James J. Braddock. In my mind we could do a top five of Russell Crow movies alone. The guy is that amazing.

1. Hoosiers. I’m an Indiana boy and so for me this was an obvious choice. The best basketball movie ever and coincidentally based upon the championship game between the tiny Milan High School vs. my high school alma mater, Muncie Central.

"Quotation"

Just a question, but is it ever really appropriate to use quotation marks for the word quotation? There’s just something unnatural about it…and give me the creeps. I don’t know about you…but it’s just something I was thinking about.

A Tatttoo for Joe Farmer

I was reading through the blogosphere and read a post by Joe Farmer. Joe is contemplating getting a tattoo (see above examples)…well; I thought I might take this opportunity to share my two cents as to what kind of tattoo would be best for my fellow blogger.

Joe,

The two ideas you have shared are…well…they’re ok…if you want to be average and mediocre. But in all fairness, the whole tattoos with religious meaning...blah blah blah...has been done. If you want to go with something really cool...I'd suggest the following 3 choices:
3. Barbwire...yep…it looks cool and would be kind of original.
2. A tattoo on your arm that said: “Tattoo”...subtle, I know...but effective and consistent.
1. A tattoo on your arm that is the exact color of your skin. Sure most people won't see it, but you will have gone through excruciating pain to get it and will know its there. Then you can look at other people who have so vainly put select tattoos in various other colors and designs so that other people can see them...show boats and glory boys ...you'll know that they’re just a bunch of sellouts. In the end, the only time people might see your tattoo is if you get a dark tan or a really bad sunburn. But the rest of the time, only you and the Holy Spirit will know its there…and isn’t that the point anyway?

Hope this helps.

Unanimous

Some folks say that the Nazarene Church isn’t speaking to young people anymore. The increasing growth of “non-denominational” churches and the emerging church movement have cause some to question whether the Nazarene denomination is relevant and engaging those individuals below the age of fifty. Well, I think the following link will put those crazy notions to rest…

The new face of Nazarene Higher Education

I was crying when I watched this...

I also showed it to Ryan and he laughed so hard that coffee went up his nose. It was funny...but kind of gross. Enjoy!

Foiled again...

Well, I guess this was the first time I’ve been “foiled”, but just thought this was funny and wanted to share the love. I will post the top 5 things I liked about this prank:

Things I liked about this prank:

5: Each individual pen and pencil on my desk was individually wrapped.

4: The 50 gold fish that are now swimming in tiny water glasses in my office are starting to feel like family.

3: I’ve been able to chat with every person that has walked into our office today, because they have all been drawn to the futuristic glow of my office.

2: The Indian statue in my office looks like a big chocolate piece of candy.

1: An art professor brought his class to the office and spent a few minutes observing and discussed what it meant to each student, and then debated whether or not it was art.

Ah….good times.

I'm knocking on Death's door. Today is my birthday and I've officially kissed my twenties goodbye. You may now refer to me as the "Walking Fossil".
