My brain feels constipated with thoughts. The following is a massive mind dump of all the random things going on in my head…

• Yesterday was Father’s Day. God truly blessed my life with my dad. He does an amazing job of being interested in his kids.  He’s also arguably the nicest guy ever created. When I asked where he wanted to go to lunch for Father’s Day…he asked me where I wanted to go. I love my dad!
• I’ve also been blessed with a great father in-law. Not only does he rock an awesome beard, he also loves his kids with all his heart. I’m truly jealous of the beard.
• It’s also my brothers first fathers day. His son is only 3 months old, but I can tell already that Jon’s a great dad.
• I’m still excited about the Lakers winning their 16th NBA Championship. They need one more to tie the Boston Celtics. I may or may not have watched SportsCenter for hours on my day off. Yes it’s the same show each hour, but I couldn’t stop watching the highlights of the game.
• Lakers forward Ron Artest is crazy.  You may not remember, but years ago he’s the guy who ran into the stands and attacked a fan after the fan threw a beer at him. After winning the title on Thursday, he thanked his mom, his hood, and then his psychiatrist. His rant ended by him talking about a song he recorded last June called Champions. You can watch it here. He’s crazy, but I’m glad he’s a Laker! 
• Multiple people have said to me that they think the NBA Finals are rigged.  I’ll say two words that disprove that theory…Lebron James. Every NBA fan wants to see Lebron vs. Kobe in the Finals. The last few years Lebron has got monkey stomped in the playoffs. If it was rigged they would have found a way to get Lebron to the Finals.
• My wife finished the school year on Friday. It’s was a sad day for her. She’s moving to Kindergarten next year.  I think she’s going to be the best Kindergarten teacher ever! 
• Speaking of my wife…she got the best massage of her life.  That says a lot because she’s had a lot over the years. She is now a huge fan of Lorraine’s SpaSalon in Newport News.  A fellow Waters Edge member gave the massage. Thanks Heather!
• Thumb wrestling…good. Toe wrestling…gross. Alan “Nasty” Nash won the coveted Toe Wrestling Championship last week. The final match was a real nail bitter.  I couldn’t resist.
• This past weekend was the weekend for graduation parties. I normally get invited to graduations from Waters Edge Students.  I also normally go to one grad party, but Saturday was ridiculous. Monica and I got invited to 7 grad parties. 7 grad parties = 7 grad cakes. Yum. That’s a lot of  grad cake.
• My favorite number is 4. I’m not sure why. I’m also not sure why you need a favorite number. I’ve been asked multiple times and I always reply with the number 4. Do you have a favorite number?
• Next week Monica and I go to the Jones Institute to talk about in vitro fertilization.  It was their only opening till August.  We don’t really know if this is what we are supposed to do. We are praying for wisdom. We’d appreciate the prayer support.
• I’m really excited to listen to The Honeymoon Thrillers new CD. They are a new band formed by Nathan and Cary Barlowe from Luna Halo.  You might be familiar with Cary’s music and not know it. He’s written songs for TobyMac and Lady Antebellum.  I love Luna Halo’s last disc. I can’t wait to hear this band.
• First there was “Twilight.” Then there was “True Porn Blood.” Closely after that was “Vampire Diaries.” Eventually the romantic vampire craze is going to get overexposed.  “The Gates” might be the start of the downfall. There can only be so many vampire stories right?
• Speaking of being overexposed…what’s up with 3-D movies? I mean, do we really need Step Up 3D? Seriously?????
• We have a clogged shower. As I was standing in ankle high water I felt really gross. Then I thought to myself, “it’s really not that different than a bath?” That thought helped me get through. Time to buy some Drano.

Whew…I feel better now.
