My brain is constipated with random thoughts. It’s time to free up some space with another Mind Dump…
- Our church staff recently fasted for Jesus. It’s Biblical. I hate it, but it’s Biblical. Now listen, just because the Bible tells us to do something doesn’t mean that we have to love it. In fact I kind of think that is the point of fasting. When we go without food we are not supposed to love it. We are supposed to depend on God and not having food in your stomach will do just that.
- I’m not sure why they call it fasting. It should be called slowing. Time stops when you don’t eat. Minutes feel like weekends. And when I don’t eat I don’t get faster. I get slower. I get sleepy. I barely can function. What happens to me doesn’t fit the name. Just sayin’.
- I know that this might be cheesy but I’m starting to cheer for the Denver Broncos because I really like Tim Tebow. I like that he’s a Christian and he works his tail off to be the best that he can be.
- I ran for the first time in 3 months due to an Achilles injury. The good news is that it didn’t hurt at all. The bad news is that I no longer have an excuse to not jog.
- So did anyone watch the World Series?
- Ben & Jerry’s Late Night Snack ice cream is slap your mamma good. It’s vanilla ice cream with a salty caramel swirl, and fudge covered potato chip clusters. Amazing.
- One of the most deflating things in the world is to fold a giant heap of clothes only to have a new heap dumped by you right when you finish.
- Twins produce a lot of laundry. So much so that I’m convinced that people who live in nudist colonies are parents of multiples. This amount of laundry is enough to make anyone swear off wearing clothes.
- I was really excited to be included in Tyler Stanton’s 30 Bloggers for 3o Days campaign to raise money for Charity: Water last year. There is a great chance that you missed it or just ignored it when it went down. I’m not hating but I think only 2.5 people participated from robshep.com. Okay, maybe it’s not you…it’s me. I suck as a blogging motivator. Anyway Charity:Water put out a video to thank all of the bloggers that participated and it includes my little blog. Check it out…
- I recently heard a person say “I think about him every second.” I started laughing when they said it. I hear people say this type of thing often and I laughed because it’s impossible. A lot of times when people talk they just say things, but to think about someone for every second is crazy. Hey Joe what are you doing? “Thinking about dad.” Oh cool. Now what are you doing? “Thinking about dad. Hey Joe were you thinking about dad when you were playing hours of video games? Hey Joe were you thinking about dad when you were taking a dump? Where you thinking about dad when you were making out with that girl? Cause that’s just gross.
- This website is great!
- Teenage Mutant ninja Noses! That’s brilliant. Okay, maybe not brilliant, but I love Ninja Turtles.
- Two and 1/2 Men is the number 1 rated comedy on TV. I don’t get it. I also don’t know anyone that watches that show. It could just be that I don’t know that many people. Do you watch that show?
- My wife’s best friend from high school works with Ewan McGregor. In her own words she knows that I’m “geektastic.” Well, she sent us the best gift ever!
- The poster is signed, “Reese, Hayden, Monica, and Rob. All my love, Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan. LOVE IT!
- I think my sixth month old son might be a zombie. Hear me on this. He tries to eat everyone. The other day he put my whole hand into his mouth. Lucky for me he only has two little teeth, so it didn’t hurt. He also doesn’t talk. He mumbles and makes noises. He also spews gross things out of his body. I watch the Walking Dead, so I know what zombies do and zombies try to eat everybody they see, they mumble and make noises instead of talking, and they spew gross stuff from their bodies. Nuff said. Want proof?…

Whew…I feel better now.
Ice cream sounds good. All it needs is chocolate dumped on it. 🙂 As for 2 1/2: never have watched and never plan on it. Even w/ Ashton replacing what’s-his-name I have no desire to watch it. And yes, I watched parts of the World Series. Other than cycling that is the only sport I watch (although I would like Tebow to excel and shut up his critics). Read an article yesterday that the coach sabotaged him Sunday in order for him to fail. Interesting thought. Later Chipotle Man. Next Monday for me. 🙂
Bill, it is! The ice cream that is.
Rob, what kind of laxative creates this mind dump?
I confess! I have watched episodes or 2 and a 1/2 Men, but I am not a regular viewer.
I did not watch the World Series.
Larry, I think it’s Mtn Dew. I drink one a day to keep my mind regular.
I think about you every second Rob, especially when I’m taking a dump and watching my favorite show (Two and a Half Men) .
Ryan, funny. Please stop though. That’s gross.
O.K., the poster is just a little bit cool. Love the list today and I am glad that you got all of this out.
Thanks Daniel! Me too.
Great Dump! LoL…
2 and a whatever men, has not gotten 2 seconds of my time…and will never get anytime! lol…
don’t know why anyone would watch that show…
feel the same way about modern family…
Arny, it’s crazy to me that it’s number 1. Who is watching it?
I watched every game of the World Series. It’s usually the only baseball I get to watch.
I’m eating my heart out in jealousy over the Obi-Wan poster, by the way.
Ricky, I’m glad that someone else appreciates it. I geeked out over that poster.
Totally with you on 2 and a Half Men. Don’t know anyone that watches and will not watch it myself.
Also with you on Late Night Snack. Those fudge covered chips are quite delish in there. Did not see that coming.
Joe, Late Night Snack totally caught me off guard. My wife got it and I didn’t even want to try it at first. I was trying to be good and resist eating ice cream. I thought it would be easy to resist but she told me how good it was. I took one bite and I was hooked.
Same here, I wasn’t excited about it at all, but wanted to try it to support James Fallon as he has been bringing the funny on Late Night. Late Night Snack brought the yummy.
Yes it did!
As always, love the mind dumps. I group Two and a Half men up there with other waste of time shows. It is number 1 on that list if that matters. I mean really Ashton K., Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse than Charlie Sheen being on TV.
I haven’t found a way to prepare Ice Cream that I have not liked. Maybe a Mountain Dew float would be awesome! I must have blanked on the Charity & Water post, I do not recall it. Lastly, I am a Star Wars fan, awesome poster. I just think the series was put together very well. When it comes to movies, casting, plot, are huge to me. I liked the flow, and the casting was spot on, in all the movies. That’s pretty important when it comes to series. It is entertainment tragedy when blockbusters cast poorly.
Lastly, running is from the DEEEEVVVIIILLLL!!! Some times I think God should have made use with Draw Strings.
Joe, I don’t think you were reading the blog when the Charity Water post hit. It’s all good though. I’m glad you are around now.
That poster is SWEET!!!
Don’t watch 2 1/2 Men, but I haven’t watched a sitcom since Scrubs went off the air.
I ended an argument with my wife once by telling her I go to the bathroom thinking about her because I give a crap!
Randal, how did she take that?
She laughed really hard. For years we could remember that joke but not what we were arguing about.
Two things:
1)As a Lions fan, I was very firmly rooting against every last Bronco on the field on Sunday. That game was FUN. If you disagree, let me remind you: these are the Lions we’re talking about. They haven’t won anything meaningful in the past 60 years. They went 0-16. They had the NFL’s longest-ever road losing streak. THEY HAD MATT MILLEN IN CHARGE. Do not begrudge us Lions fans our fun.
2)I like Tim Tebow because he seems like he’s not faking his faith or playing it up for the attention. I also feel bad for him because no matter what he does, it gets attention and turns into a big deal when it’s really not.
Hey Burrill. I am a die hard Saints fan, but I have to hand it to the Lions. I am very excited to see them doing so well, and I hope they make the playoffs. The deserve it. I have honestly wondered how in the world they could have such bad seasons for some many seaons. I am behind them 100%. Best better get better, he is costing me some serious Fantasy Points.
Tebow is a good guy, just needs a little more experience. But I agree he could throw for a 1,000 yards and someone would say something bad about the guy. Price you pay to be in the spotlight and a professing Christian sadly.
We Lions fans appreciate the support. This is the first year in…uh…forever that we fans actually believe the franchise has a chance at sustained success (sustained=longer than a few games). There have been years past where they won some games and people got temporarily happy, but it never felt like it might last long enough to matter. But this team is actually good — not just smoke-and-mirrors good — and the front office is making intelligent decisions. It’s kind of foreign to me as a Lions fan, but I like it.
You might not want to count on Best, though. He’s good, but when a guy starts getting concussions, it often just goes downhill from there.
I have a question for you as a fan of a formerly downtrodden franchise (seriously, you Saints fans know how we Lions fans have felt). Is it okay for me to enjoy the Colts many losses this year? Every once in a while I feel a tiny bit bad for laughing when I see Colts scores, but then I remind myself that the Colts have enjoyed a (Peyton Manning-driven) stretch of success the Lions haven’t enjoyed since before the vast majority of Lions fans were born, and I come to the conclusion that Colts fans need to remember how the rest of us have lived. And I start laughing again, and I start rooting for the Colts to match the Lions’ 0-16 record from 2008. Is that okay, or does that make me a bad person?
As for Tebow: what really perplexes me is the obsession sports media has with him. Everything he does gets attention because the sports media seems to want to shine the spotlight on him no matter what. And it’s not a bad LET’S WATCH HIM SCREW UP HA HA spotlight; it seems to be a spotlight based on a real fascination with — or maybe even admiration of — Tebow. They really seem to want people to know this guy is a cool guy and everybody should like him. This was true through college (though it was increased because he kept winning games), and it’s continued into the NFL. The reason I feel bad for Tebow is that this fascination has resulted in people disliking Tebow not for anything he has or hasn’t done, but for the perpetual spotlight he never asked for.
I am almost afraid to respond, because my wife is a daily visiter on Robshep. She is a huge Peyton Manning fan. Should you find humor in it, of course. I have found it hard to believe even with Peyton gone they have not one a single game. They still have talented wide recievers, and their running game isn’t horrible. I do not believe they will go 0-16 however. The will figure out a win, I predict a 2-14 season for the Colts. I am going to give Best this week, then I am going to have to put him back on the waiver wire, which I hate to do. That guy is a beast when he gets to rushing. I am suprised he hasn’t had more coverage over the years. But then again, who would have though Sproles would blow up with the saint.
Burrill, by fan what I mean is that I want him to personally do good. I honestly could care less if they win. I just want his stats to be good.
Oh and my friend is a Lions fan. You guys have had it rough. Lions are to football as the Cubs are to baseball. Loveable losers. Hopefully things turn around.
Yeah, I’d like to see him succeed. He seems like a good guy.
It’s been funny to see the reaction to the Lions’ success this year. The Lions have long been the lovable losers, where a win over a good opponent was met with a national pat on the head and a “look at the adorable little Lions winning a game!”. With the Lions looking like a real football team this year, people seem to be kind of confused. They don’t know how to react to a good Lions team.
I am usually watching Dancing With The Stars with my family instead if this. I have seen the show, but cannot comprehend anyone watching on a regular basis. It’s just bawdy humor…which may explain why many watch it.
Larry, my wife watches dancing with the stars. I’m not a huge fan of that show either. My parents love it as well.
I have been raving over Late Night Snack for the last two weeks! I love it. And I love Jimmy Fallon. They should be paying me for the amount of endorsements I’ve given it.
Or, at the very least, he should write you a Thank-You Note for all the endorsements.
TMNT Noses = awesomeness! I loved them as a kid, in fact I probably thought about them at least every second, at that time there were not a lot of female interactions to worry about.
Sirvhim, funny. I loved them too. I have watched that first movie at least 100 times. If not way more. I wish I would have counted. I’ve seen that movie a lot.
TMNT noses = near perfection. Awesome!
seekingpastor, we need to find a way to make you into one. Your profile pic would be perfect.
Love the cartoon of your Brain Dump!
Thanks TJ. It was created by Wes of wesdraws.com. He’s a great guy.
I think about a lot of things while I’m dumping…like measurements. I think about measurements a lot these days as a matter of fact…..
Ed, why measurements?
Awesome poster, and agree about 2.5 Men. I don’t get it. At all. Would rather watch 23 minutes of people unloading things at the thrift store across the street.
TMZ, I’m glad that I’m not the only one that feels this way. It’s a mystery to me why it’s number 1.
