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

• We had a good staycation last week. Similar to when I’m on vacation I didn’t take out the trash for trash day. I forgot what day it was because we weren’t on a schedule. I can’t even begin to describe how bad it smells in my trash can. I wish that smell-o-net (Internet where you could smell things) was around so you could experience it.
• I’m no longer enjoying going out to get the mail. For me it used to be an adventure. I used to even tell my wife that I was going on an adventure.  I had to walk outside, go to the mailbox, unlock it, and then I always got a surprise. The mail now is filled with nothing but junk. I get a lot of mail but it’s all a bunch of poo.
• Last Sunday at Waters Edge was very powerful. If you missed it or don’t attend you should watch the service here. It was on getting over your past, past mistakes and or past hurts from others.
• The service included, what one person called, one of the funniest videos we’ve ever shown. Hopefully modern day genius, singing ninja, and all around great guy, Phil Poteat will send me the code for the video so I can post it. I hope to post the video this week on the blog for all to see.
• I went to see the movie The Switch over the weekend. I left the theater and totally forgot to take a picture for the review. I hope to get back to the theater to take the picture so I can post it later this week.
• I got asked by one of my favorite bloggers, Tyler Stanton, to do something BIG in September with 30 other bloggers. It will involve your help, and I can’t wait to share with you. I think it’s a great idea and I’m honored that he asked me.
• This Wednesday is N.O.G. = Night of Games.  It’s a fun game night for the Waters Edge Students. This event gets rained out every year. I am hoping that it doesn’t rain this Wednesday in the 757.
• I’m still beaming over the fact that my wife is pregnant. The first miracle is that she got pregnant. The second miracle will be to sustain the pregnancy.  We appreciate the prayers!
• People keep telling us that we are going to have twins. My 4 year old nephew thinks we are going to have one boy and one girl.  He suggested we name them Fifi and Crash Symbols.
• I know you probably don’t think about super heroes much, but I do. For example I was watching a super hero movie and I thought that if they were real they’d sweat a lot. Have you ever worn a mask? Have you ever worn tights? I’ve worn both…at separate times…and they are HOT. I can’t imagine how hot they’d be together. Not to mention how hot they’d be with all the fighting and running around.
• I got an iPod touch for my birthday last week. It was a joint gift between 5 people and I’m loving it. 
• My wife just turned to the Miss Universe Pageant.  Is it wrong that I want someone to tackle one of the Miss Universe contestants? No one in particular, but I’d take a good tackle to any of them. I feel mean typing that, but it’d make me laugh.
• Whew…she just turned the channel to Back to the Future. I love that movie!
• Back to the iPod touch if you have any apps that you recommend I’d love to try them out. Right now I’m loving Words with Friends, Frogger, and Traffic Rush.
• I have three zits on my face. I kind of thought that by the time I turned 32 I’d stop getting zits. I guess it’s a myth that it’s a teenage thing. I wonder what age a person does stop getting zits?
• I’m going to see my favorite band, NeedtoBreathe in concert tonight. They are opening for Train. This was another birthday gift. If this is your first time reading my blog then you need to know that I love birthdays!
• A former student of mine is now on the soap, All My Children. Monica and I watched his premier. Soaps are awful, but he was good in it. His name is Trent Garrett. You can read the Daily Press article here.
• We are got rid of our cable. It ends next month. I’m not sure what we are going to do starting in September. We are making as many cuts as we can to pay off our loan for IVF. Dave Ramsey says, “If you’ll live like no one else, than you can live like no one else.” I’d say that if you haven’t read his book “Total Money Makeover” then you should buy it today. It’s great financial advice!
• Speaking of paying off IVF, do you think I could win if I sued companies that make “smart phones?” I was happy with my phone until they started calling theirs smart. Now I feel like I’m stuck with a dumb phone. Just because my phone can’t get on the internet that’s no reason to call it dumb. I’m joking about suing, but I did have that thought when thinking about ways to pay off IVF. It made me chuckle to myself.

Whew…I feel better now.
