The following was not my reaction when receiving these gems. [Phone buzzes] What time is it and why is someone calling? [Opening phone] Holy crap! Peacock's having a party? What am I going to wear!? I only have a week to decide! "Honey, get up! We have to go shopping! Peacock's graduating, and he's celebrating it!" Has anyone else received one of these urgent messages in the middle of the night? If you would like to stop this madness, please be sure to text Mr. Peacock if you have his number and be sure to send me a comment regarding your message to him. (Remember, be sure to do it between 01:00 and 06:00.

I was also a little dissappointed, but after thinking about it, and
looking at it through my worldview, there was a reason for it. There is
a reason God did not allow me to get this job. Why, I don't
have a clue. Perhaps God wants me to stay at the banking center for a
while longer. Maybe He doesn't want me to move on until I can do my
current job with a cheerful heart and to the best of my ability.
Perhaps my time is coming close to an end at the bank. God might have
something new for me. I don't know what that is. I don't know if God is
putting things in front of my face. Yesterday, not even mentioning my
search for a new job, one of my customers asked if I would like a job.
She said that their "support guy" had recently quit, and they needed
someone to deal with their shipping and technical support. I'm not sure
exactly what this entails, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. I'm
definitely going to inquire, because there has to be a reason for this to happen out of the blue. I don't know what to do, but I know I will pray about it and do my best at the bank right now. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- April 18, 2007 - Death and Taxes

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- April 4, 2007 - American Idull History
For all I know, people who hate the show keep voting for him. Perhaps if someone this terrible wins the competition, FOX will refuse to continue the show. If Sanjaya, by some catastrophe, wins the competition, it will make American Idol history. I'm pretty confident that if Sanjaya wins, the recording studio that is required to sign a record deal with the winner will just say, "Nope. We said we would sign a deal with a singer." I could predict that the consequences for having a CD with Sanjaya's name, face and voice on it could be devastating. If you were to play one of these said CDs, your audio equipment would actually assault you. It would physically attack you, and then jump out the window. Needless to say, your CD player would be very upset and disappointed with you. [Comment by: Jessica] [Comment: "Great blog. I couldn't have said it better. I'm glad you found the thing from The Soup. It's my favorite!"] [Comment by: Margaret] [Comment: "I heard that that is actually Sanjaya's biggest support base- people who don't like American Idol and want to show that it's all a popularity contest. (Although I heard it in the mainstream media, so who knows if it's actually true?) :-)"] [Comment: Steven] [Comment: "The last four sentences of your latest post truly enriched my life. Thank you. That's all for now."] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- April 3, 2007 - Take Two I don't know if anyone looked on the site already today, but there were a few problems with some of the links. Firefox seemed fine opening the links, but other browsers somehow didn't prefer them. They should be fixed. Oh yes, I have a new song. What should the name be? I'm probably going to add an Almost Music section with the MP3s I've been composing. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-April 3, 2007 - I Saw the Signs
The second billboard caught my eye for a few reasons. It's not necessarily funny, and it's not stupid. It has a picture of Jesus and it says, "Jesus is watching you." I don't see signs like this very often. It would make sense that it sits right next to an adult bookstore. Bravo for the owner of the sign. I would like to know how much that has cut down on sales for the establishment, but I don't think I really want to speak to the -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | > 2007 April |
