All the other colors are green with envy

In honor of spring, I thought I'd freshen up the 'ole blog. I'm really glad to bring you my blog in green...it happens to be my favorite color. Here are some reasons why: cold streams of slippery green rocks, facial masks, the emerald city, picnics on grassy hillsides, Gator football, cool cucumbers and crispy salad and crunchy greens beans and buttery alvacado, go not stop, cool not hot, sooth not stir, growth and birth and GREEN means LIFE. What's your favorite color and why??

Now that's Handey

If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

The Last Mimsey...I hope

Wow...I feel like I always like to start off my blogs with the word wow, and, no, I don't know why. I also don't know why I felt compelled to go see "The Last Mimsey" tonight, which was the strangest, most random movie I've ever seen besides...nope, we have a winner. Craziness. Sheer oddity...really. Zack and I always leave the theater after a movie, critiquing what we didn't like or what we thought could have been better. After this movie finished, we both just looked at each other and cracked up laughing. I tend to like quirky movies, but this movie may have been too weird for even me. It's funny because we knew absolutely nothing about the movie when we went to see it except that we saw that Dwight was in it...and that was good enough for us. Who's Dwight, you ask? Two words: The Office. We're pretty much obsessed with it, and we aren't ashamed to say that we loved it before it got so popular. And Dwight is hands down the best part of it. Too bad he couldn't redeem Mimsey.

I'm a lizard sunbathing in your radiance...

The title of this blog is a lyric from a really cool song by Brett Denen called Desert Sunrise. Brett has quickly become one of my new favorite artists, with his song "Blessed" being one of my special favs. Check out his myspace. You won't be sorry you did. And, no, I am in no way related to or paid by him or his affiliates.

Dream for an Insomniac

It's 2:51 am, and I can't sleep...

I went Christmas shopping today. It was pretty gruesome. Christmas shopping is not fun unless: a) You have a lot of money, b) You find really great deals, c) You have some idea what to buy people and where to get it. Unfortunately, none of these factors were working in my favor. I have this disorder in which I randomly buy things and later have no idea who I should give them to. Only 5 days left until Christmas, and only 2 before I leave to go out of town for it.

Well, I did it...I graduated from college! (Applause) Thank you. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm not glad about all the student loans I now have to pay back, but whatever. We had a graduation celebration at my parents' house Monday night, so that was fun. Zack is even more excited about my graduating than I am, I think (maybe b/c when I'm stressed out, I take it out on him...then again, maybe it's b/c now I can work full-time and make some $$$!) I checked my grades for this semester a few minutes ago. I got one A and two A+. Ya, I'm pretty smart=D. I'm so glad not to be worrying about projects and finals and driving an hour and a half to and from school anymore!! Woohoo!!

I'm going to Colorado in a couple of weeks, so I'm excited about that. I have some pretty fun and big plans for the upcoming year. It's going to be the best one ever...because I'm going to make it that way! The last few have been pretty rough for Zack and I, but I think good things are in store for us! Well, I guess that's enough ranting. My ibupropen has kicked in and my head's stopped hurting, so I'm going to go try to lay on it some more. It's officially 3:10 a.m., so I guess I should. Ta-ta for now.

Christmas Memories

Well, since I've been getting absolutely NO lOVE on my blog, I thought I'd do a more interactive post this time.

One of my favorite Christmas memories is driving to Palatka to see our family when I was little, and being so cold in the car on the way up because our heater didn't work in the car, and snuggling under this old blanket my dad got in Mexico in the backseat with my two sisters Meghan and Rachel, and singing Christmas carols on the way.

Please comment me with one of your favorite Christmas memories!! I'd love to hear them!!

What Should You Study?

Fight for your right to be thankful!

If you're like me, you love Thanksgiving...the food, the family, the thankfulness, the food. However, I am shocked and appalled at the lack of recognition it receives in this country. Am I alone in this? Stores go nutso over Halloween, of which I'm no fan, but whatever. Then, from November 1, a month which should be set aside for turkeys and scarecrows and horns of plenty, before your very pumpkin pie-loving little eyes, they're stocking Christmas trees and boxes of candy canes and pre-lit reindeer for your front lawn! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas just as much as the next guy, but it's so commercialized now that it's disgusting. A holiday that is supposed to be about Jesus' birth has been turned into another greedy excuse to exploit. And a holiday about being thankful for what you have instead of worrying about what you want or what you have to give, fades in the background.

A couple of weeks ago, I went out shopping for a Thanksgiving wreath to hang on my door. I found nothing. Absolutely no Thanksgiving merchandise for sale...I looked everywhere. Sure, I found some paper plates with pumpkins and some dish towels in fall colors, but mostly I found things like fat little singing santas, fake Christmas trees and stockings hangers-- in mid-November!! Am I alone in my sadness over the loss of the celebration of Thanksgiving? (Wow, talk about a lot of prepositional phrases!) Maybe I'm so vehement because I live in Spring Hill, the land of gaudy Christmas decorations and home to people who leave their Christmas lights up YEAR ROUND (no, I'm not kidding, and yes, I said PEOPLE). Christmas decorations are just not appropriate until the day after Thanksgiving, people, don't you know this??!!

I just love Thanksgiving, a time when the pilgrims and the Indians sat down together and gave thanks for what they had. Sure, the Indians didn't know that the white men were about to bring years of oppression to their race, but they ate Turkey and green bean casserole together just the same.

I guess the reason Thanksgiving is looked upon with such indifference, even disdain by so many today is that more and more people reject the fact that there's Anyone to be thankful to. If they are thankful, then they have to admit that there's Someone to thank. I pray that God has mercy on such a selfish, greedy, thankless nation. And I for one am going to fight for Thanksgiving, and do my best to be thankful every day for the blessings God has giving me, because I don't deserve a one.

Handey Thoughts--part 1

All right, all right, I've gotten a little out of control lately. I found a bunch of Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, and have been cracking myself up with them and annoying the heck out of everyone else! So, as an outlet for my love o Handey, I am going to start posting one Handey thought a week. These are hilariously funny, and are right up my alley, so if you don't like them, you probably wouldn't like me, so get outta here! =D Here's the first:

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
