a couple weeks ago, at church, a missionary from SIU came and spoke to us… he played this video… and it’s one of the most amazing videos i’ve seen in a while…

today was the visitation and funeral of the husband of a co-worker. she and i have worked on a rather large project at work (and are still working on it)… her husband died of a heart attack suddenly while hunting last weekend. i never really got to meet the guy, and after the ceremony - i’m very disappointed that i didn’t. i did a lot of thinking… this video popped into my head at some point throughout the rest of the day. (i didn’t even remember where i saw it first, but my lovely wife came to the rescue (yet again) after i’d found it on the interweb). i’ve seen a couple other versions of this same concept, but i’m a sucker for the ‘original’ (or at least the original to me). this video got to me when i first watched it, and it still gets to me and really makes me think about what i’m doing in this life… i’m very grateful for what God’s given me and sometimes i need to express my gratefulness more. like now, when said lovely wife is waiting for me to get to bed, so without further ado… this very most excellent, Everything by Lifehouse video/skit…



awesome is not a strong enough word

learning

October 2nd, 2007

so i just am learning now that what i did to get this site created and the methods i used are completely screwed up and ultimately bass-ackwards… i think in the future times, i’m going to have to redo my website, but not give it the cosmetic change (maybe i’ll clean a couple things up) - but definitely clean up how i designed the page. what this means to my reader is, i’m an idiot.

plus, i haven’t written anything for quite some time and that’s a shame, to the tens of people that read this, i’m in the mindset that i actually will make this website somewhat useful and give it some content (and maybe even fix the broken pieces). the problem is, i’m in the middle of two website development processes that might actually do something, whereas this is merely me, being a moron. so needless to say, this site probably won’t get too much attention, if need be, complain. i’ll understand, but won’t care.

here’s the wonderful logo for the fitness center, as i’m pretty sure you’ve not seen it:

embedding a youtube video, issues

August 14th, 2007

here’s yet another attempt to embed a youtube video…

when entering the following in the ‘code’ mode of posts:



the following would appear after the save:

however, this was before the upgrade - i recently upgraded wordpress and now i think it’ll actually work!!! (fingers crossed)

and apparently the <code> stuff doesn’t work too well, cuz the code stuff i did put in, is not showing up as ‘code’… oh well. i’m now able to display youtube videos… you should all be 1) happy or 2) scared or 3) both.

regardless, the KITH skit above is a personal favorite of mine and i’m so glad i was able to find it… ahhh jacque and francqui, iz good to see you old friends.

wtf??

a taste of london

August 3rd, 2007

so a couple days ago a bridge in Minneapolis collapsed. it was all over the news, you might’ve heard about it - so far 5 have died and some 90+ were hurt (a couple still in the hospital). i wasn’t anywhere close to the bridge and luckily, nobody i know (at least i’m not sure of anyone) was on the bridge when it collapsed. My boss here at work went over the bridge about 20 minutes before the thing fell.

i didn’t even hear about it until katie told me to turn on the TV at home… i was doing some fantasy football podcasting on the way home from work - i watched it in amazement for a while, but then the media kept dramatizing it and that irked me. katie, however, watched it until Top Chef came on (our program of choice - and mine since the new season of The Office hasn’t started).

i got a bunch of phone calls - people asking if i drove over the bridge,  some relatively frantic calls even. nope - don’t even get close. i’m otay and so is all the peeps i know.

things like this will make you stop and think.
