There is no way I will miss this one. I love her voice.

I tried to post just the movie but I am no good when it comes to HTML code. So you are stuck with the link.

Please be a courteous bowler

Nothing is more distracting while you are trying to bowl then someone bowling next to you just runs up and bowls a ball while you are trying to. General bowling manners says that you do not enter the lane while the other person is bowling. You can grab your ball out of the ball return and get ready but do not step up onto the platform. Its not like there are alot of things you have to remember to do while bowling. That's really the only one I can think of. No, also don't talk to someone about how well they are doing if they are bowling a perfect game.

The only time these rules to not apply is if you have kids with you, and they are too young to understand. Still though you should try to keep your kids in the same lane that they are bowling in. Also they do not really apply to night bowling which I loath. That's where they turn all the lights off and turn the black lights on. No one bowls well except the guy who is loaded on lane 5 and I cant even keep by ball on the lane because every time I go up to bowl the strobe light shines my way and blinds me!

My Weekend

This weekend kind of flew by. I guess that's what happens when you work both days. Friday night I went and saw Starter for 10 with Jules and B but first we went to a new Chinese place that I had driven past a few times. The Happy Dragon, the price was pretty reasonable and the food was excellent. I had the Chefs special beef, Jules had the Sesame chicken and B had Shrimp with Veggies.

Starter for 10 was a good movie. Its British and I just enjoy listening to people speak with a British accent so that's a plus. There are no plot twists or anything really exiting. Its just about a kid, who knows alot of random information, going off to college where he joins the question team. I don't remember the name of the team but it pretty much reminded me of the Saved By the Bell episode where they go against the other school in a jeopardy type question answer game. The bad guy in the film looked like a grown up dracus malfoy. The movie was mainly situational humor. The kid gets himself bad situations and does stupid things. It was good, go see it.

I worked sat and then went bowling, I am getting better my average is up from a 155 to 175. 20 pins in 3 weeks isn't bad. I just need to keep it up. I went to bed early on Saturday so I could make it to church.

Sunday I woke up late. Well, I didn't wake up late. I woke up on time, hit my snooze button and got an extra 2 hours of sleep. I woke up just in time to freak out, throw on some clothes and make it to service on time. I will make it to Sunday school one of these days. William, my nephew, was being dedicated so I had to make it. For those of you who don't know what being dedicated is, its the baptist way of publicly saying you are going to raise this child in a Christian home. Other denominations Baptism but it all means the same thing. William was great. He just looked around and smiled with his 5 teeth, it was very cute.

The rest of Sunday was a blur. I went to work and then picked up John from the airport and then went to bed early so I could take John back to the airport at 4 in the morning because his earlier flight was cancelled. This morning didn't suck as much as I would have thought considering I missed 2 hours of sleep. I woke up and went into work early feeling full of energy.

Jeers: To finding out this morning that I have a show and will be in Fort Worth from Thursday to Saturday. Next week I am going to be very backed up.

Breaking free of my comfort zone

I have been praying the last week that God would show me what I should be doing and where He wants me. Last night I felt that I needed to go and pick up a new book. I had finished everything that I had bought and am currently working my way through a comentary of Philipians and Corinthians. After I had finished a chapter and all of my chai I got up to look for something new.

I wasnt sure what I was looking for. I kind of wanted something fun and light but I also wanted to look at differnt comentaries because I am almost through with the one I have. As I was looking for the comentaries I ran across a familure but that I love to read every now and then, Blue Like Jazz. Donald Miller is an amazing writer, he is so honest and open. I saw that he had written a few others so I picked up Through Painted Deserts.

I got 6 paragraphs into the authors notes and felt a strong conviction to get up and uninstall WoW. So, I got up...10 mins later, no more WoW. Deleting it isnt that big of a deal. Ask me 3 months from now and see if I am playing again. I gave away my last computer so I could quit but 4 months later I bought a new computer so I could play again. Its was a big problem. I have spent over 100 days worth of time playing. Thats over 2,400 hours in the last two years....Stop for a sec and let that sink in. Its huge. Its stupid and addicting and I loved every minute of it.

I asked God what I should be doing. I want to do His will and not mine. Over the last two weeks I have been listening to sermons while I play, thinking that maybe if I am not just wasting my time it would be ok, but I was wrong. 6 paragraphs in I knew exactly what I needed to do. Once it was done I didnt feel sad like I did the last time I quit. Not like last time where it felt I was saying goodbye to an old friend.
This time I was pretty pumped and exited.

I hear Austin is a cool place. I wouldnt know. I really have no clue where all the cool coffee shops are. I know most of the mom and pop restaurants in Round Rock but none in Austin. I think its time I found a few.

What is it that you spend most of your time thinking about during work? What do you do when you get home? Does it glorify God? If it doesnt get rid of it.

Sad Day

There will be no more gelato till may. Cafe Gelato is officially closed. Me and my dad went over there last night and he hooked us up with a huge HUGE sampler. It was probably about 2 pints of 4 different flavors. That was pretty exiting. I will be enjoying that for a good week. The new place opens in May and will also feature the best chocolates in the world. The owner is going to do a little tour of Europe and find the best chocolates to order for his new store. Its going to primarily be a chocolate boutique but will also have gelato. So even though its sad that he is closing his first shop its more exiting because of what is in store. Chocolate and Gelato.

I think i have nintendo arm

Back in the day when console games were played without waving your arms around I developed what doctors call nintendo thumb. Thats the scientific term. Its when you develope a huge callus under or on the joint of your thumb. It obviously comes from playing too much mario(you can never play to much mario). Last thursday B bought a Wii. This weekend after work I went and bowled 4 games and then played tennis all night on the Wii. I woke up sunday morning and my arm was hurting. It remined me of my thumb back when I was a weee lad. If I play every day I will look like the guy from lady in the water because you never use your left arm!

LOST

I recently caught up on my lost, with the help of netflix, Julie, and Itunes. It took me awhile to get interested in the show. I didnt get hooked after the first episode and if we didnt have the DvDs i would never have gotten addicted. I think they did are really good job in the first two seasons of making me curious. I really wasnt drawn to many of the characters. The two main guys are so stubborn I could care less if they kill them off in the next episode. Alot of bad stuff happened in there past and most of it was there own fault. Now they all carry around there guilt or sorrow like 4 year old carries around his favorite blanket. It almost makes it to uncomfortable for me to watch at some points.

Now, I feel like I am 400 pages into a bad book. I have invested alot of time and I would like to see how it turns out but I really dont care if they die. I just want closure.

Mr. Consistency

Thats what they call me. Last night I bowled...are you ready! Its it s big number. I bowled a 246 and to follow it up a 124. The last game I bowled a 201. I was all over the place.

My average is 151 so the first game was not normal bowling for me. Hopefully I can keep up the good bowling.
