Blogging is hard work...

Do you think the government will give me money to blog? I am pretty sure our leaders in our government are coming up with ideas on the same level...perhaps money would stimulate my blogging life.

Quick life update for the 3 people that follow this blog...I am just kidding I know there are 12 of you...

#1    Working on refinancing the house...interest rates are looking good.
#2    Preaching through 1st Corinthians at The Well...holy cow...this is going to take awhile...and Paul doesn't get less pissed at them as the letter unfolds...got to figure out how to smile on stage while telling people that are infants in Christ and wearing adult diapers. (Ch. 3 Verse 1)
#3    Not playing very much basketball...and the YMCA has been awful recently...and Gonzales has been actually trying when we play at Simpson...so I can't win a game against him, especially when Lepinski can't hit either
#4    Still waking up in a little kid's bed...and getting less than 6 hours of sleep a night
#5    10 years of marriage coming up in May...
#6    Kole is growing up fast...he told me he doesn't want to wear little kid clothes anymore...he wants to be cool...I am mildly worried as a father, so we have had some heart to heart's on what matters in life.
#7    Close to hiring a Jr. High Youth Pastor...then my life will be complete
#8    The Civic is closing in on 170,000 miles...the duct tape is still holding the glove compartment shut.
#9    Had over $1000 dollars of unfortunate, out of the blue expenses this month...but God provides...I will have to wait on buying my 3rd guitar or another flat panel TV (kidding about the crappy material stuff that breaks and brings no sense of worth or value)
#10    Micah is going to walk before he crawls...and then life is going to be fun

Bonus point...I am super tired and should already be in bed, but I am hoping Obama will give me money for being a good blogger...

Top 10 Signs I am a dad in my 30s

#10    I wake up in a bed I didn't start in...with a Lightening McQueen blanket that's not mine...

#9    I have begun convincing my friends to buy Honda Odyssey Mini Vans...you should buy one too...

#8    I am super stoked with 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep...spoiled really

#7    My blockbuster queue is filled with Disney movies...and Romantic Comedies

#6    I am overweight...nuff said...  

#5    I have clothes in my closet that I wore 5 years ago...that's depressing

#4    My big vacation has me sleeping in a bunk bed at my nephew's house in Missouri...

#3    Date nights consist of shopping at Walmart...

#2    I answer no less than 250 questions a day...poorly most of the time...the questions range from do Birds have ears?... to how do you build a race car?...and my favorite...how many more bites do I have to eat?

#1    And the #1 sign I am a dad in my 30s...I consistently and ignorantly utter..."I don't know, go ask your mother."

Nice...let the good times roll

My brother-in-law the infamous Jeff Humbert posted his first blog recently...some of us have been considering financially backing a book deal for Jeff to write his memoirs. You see Jeff has a gift, an innate ability to sabotage himself at the worst possible moment.

Take for example the girl he thought was Mexican, at just the right moment he was able to tell her how attracted he was to Hispanic women...unfortunately she wasn't even close to being Hispanic as she quickly informed him of that small detail...I'll let him blog the whole story for all of you at a later date. Or the time he naively decided to blow a hole in his roommates wall with a shotgun...or the time he tried to hammer a bullet in order to make it fire...all these stories have fantastic, tragic, laugh your face off endings and so many more just like them...

Just check out his 1st post, you won't be disappointed with his honest sarcastic tragically funny way of writing about his life.

Now I'm embarrassed for us...

I know hate is a strong word...but I hate the show the Bachelor. I saw 15 minutes of the show last night...that is... the after the rose thing-of-ma-bob...what a worthless show...it points out how lame our culture really is.

The main reason I hate it is that it is just so frick'n embarrassing...Could there be a show that more Americans watch with such mussy star-crossed pointless hopefulness? But Todd...Maybe this time...a guy who is dating/sleeping with multiple women will make at least one woman the luckiest woman alive. I mean, all of America is hoping that Jason will make Melissa or Molly (Holly) that lucky gal...one of them will get their prince charming.

All of America, half of which are divorced or will be in the near to distant future...know for a fact that real grown world doesn't work like this...but lets just embarrass ourselves...let's let a few young people find true love and happiness and have all their hopes and dreams realized in a few short weeks...because I know Melissa or Molly/Holly will take care of Jason for the rest of his life...

Perhaps someone is exploiting our naive fall in love quick notion so they can make money...nah...

It's just embarrassing...I am embarrassed...no wonder relationships in America suck...we still think Jason and Molly/Holly have a chance...and we lie to ourselves...

What an amazing country we live in and so many people are lonely and unhappy...thanks for making the bachelor and reminding us how lame relationships are in America...thanks ABC, can't wait until next season when we see true love blossom again...I'll plan on TiVo-ing it so my kids can take notes on how to have a real relationship like Jason.
