Yeah yeah yeah … the blog has been a little slow for the past week or so. I am fully aware of this inconvenient fact. My valid reasons for not blogging mostly have to do with the fact that I am working like a slave on my house, in order to move in. It’s taking a little more time than I would like but I can assure you, things will get a little more lively around here soon.
In the meantime, DEAL WITH IT. I hear that playing in traffic is a fun way to kill some time.

Once again our incumbent shows us that he is not a one or two-trick pony. He’s not in it for the fame or the fortune, he’s just here to give us funny blog posts … and he does it well. Congrats to DT for a job well done.
You may have noticed that we skipped a “Sunday Sleeper of the Week” for last week since I was on vacation, but fear not … someone supposedly got a spy shot of a new contender who happened upon a bout of sleepiness during last week’s service. I’m just waiting for that person to send me the pic and I’ll post it. Check back soon for the results…

Imagine being on top of a ten story building and looking out over a hill that’s longer than three football fields. Now imagine going downhill on a tube at speeds reaching 30 mph. That’s The Plunge! Thrills and chills without the spills. The Plunge! is Virginia’s largest tubing park. Not only do you get to have the extreme joy of going down hill… but you can rest and chat with your friends on a conveyor lift that will bring you and your tube comfortably and quickly back up the hill so you can do it again and again. Some of us call it the “scream machine” and we think you’ll agree! It’s just plain tubular fun!!
When: February, 8th @ 6:30pm (at church), return at 1:00am
Cost: $20 per person (includes tubing, small meal and transportation)
Wear: Warm Clothes (gloves, hat, etc.)

So … while I’m on my awesome vacation in a little place called Hawaii (maybe you’ve heard of it), my brother-in-law and myself stop by Subway on the way home one day. While we’re there, we are helped by this adorable little asian lady (she actually was quite funny) who happened to have a rather unusual and unfortunate name. The name tag speaks for itself. Well … either that’s her name or she’s giving everyone waaaaaay too much information.

What weird names have you guys encountered?

Coming Friday, Jan. 25…. ATTACK OF THE GAMES!
Prepare your brain for extreme fun! Don’t be a nerd and stay home… Get yourself off the couch and to “Attack of the Games”.
So what if the name is stupid. We like it.
After you have stuffed your face with delicious pizza, you’ll be split up in to different teams and begin touring muiltiple game stations. Yes there is the possibility that your head will explode due to TOO MUCH FUN! “Is that a little over the top”, you ask? Maybe. So what. Come anyways.

I just thought that I’d take a moment to remind you all that around tomorrow at this time, I (and not any of you) will be on my way to the beautiful Oahu island in Hawaii.
Yeah, I’m gonna be relaxing on a warm beach for a week, drinking directly out of coconuts while all you losers are stuck here in cold, rainy/snowy Richmond.
I probably won’t be thinking of anything back home (let alone, any of you pathetic people) but since nobody has been commenting on the blog I thought I’d offer to bring back anything you might want (within reason … so no tropical tree frogs or anything) *. I’ll probably be doing some live blogging from over there via the cell phone, so I’ll be checking for comments. I’m serious … you want one of those flower necklaces? Let me know.
Speaking of live blogging, I’m embedding a live video alert button below that will be active whenever I decide to shoot some video. It’s pretty simple, when the button says “I’m live”, click on it to see whatever I’m filming. You can also click it when I’m not live in order to see what I’ve already filmed. So be sure to check back here often … ya know, if you have no life of your own. In the words of Kip … “Peace out”.

Ladies and gents, it’s time for a new and exciting game. We’re going to call this game “Sunday Sleeper of the Week”.
Now, what we’re going to do is this: WHENever, WHEREever we see someone sleeping in church each week, we’re going to take a quick spy shot of them in the act and they get the wonderful prize of being posted on our website.
Keep in mind, you are never safe. You could be falling asleep in the middle of Bro. Jason’s message on Sunday morning and guess what? I’m going to take my camera over to where you are and get you. Oh, Bro. Jason won’t mind … trust me. Or you could be taking a quick nap in your seat before service starts and guess what … I’ll get you.
So, our grand prize winner this week is (drum roll please) DT. Look at him there … so adorable.
Actually, I had the idea for this game last week when I took my first sleeping picture. Guess who won last week? That’s right, DT again.
C’mon guys, that’s 2 in a row for him. Don’t let him take all the glory.

So … I stopped by Lowe’s before church on Wednesday night because I needed to make a copy of my mailbox key. All it is, is a little 1 inch key (well, 1.5 inches) that cost me a grand total of $1.47.
After I swiped my debit card to pay for it, a little piece of receipt started to make its way out of its plastic machine prison … then it kept going and going and going. When it was over, I walked away with a receipt that measured just over 2 feet long. Does anyone else find that a little excessive?

Ugh … It was bound to happen. Every friend I have who has owned a 360 for longer than a month has been through this before. EVERY single friend. I knew it even when I was handing over my hard-earned cash to the lady at Circuit City, but I thought to myself “It only happens to everybody else. It won’t happen to me”. WRONG!
Well, It took about a year and a half but it finally happened. My precious 360 crapped out on me with the “ring of death”. What’s even worse is the fact that, even though Halo 3 has been out since September, I had just decided to finish the game on Legendary.
I guess it was the non-stop hours of gameplay that caused the 360 to overheat (or Microsoft just had no idea how to properly build a gaming console). But here’s the thing: it died on me as I started the next-to-last level of Halo 3! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!! How does that happen?!?!?! Do I even need to say how angry I am?
Now … while my Halo teammates like Jason and Poncho are ranking up and collecting all kinds of achievements, I’ll be stuck at home … waiting by the door, like a dog, for the mailman with a fresh new (or repaired) Xbox which could take up to 6 FREAKIN WEEKS!!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!
So, how are you going to make it up to me, Microsoft? Huh? Oh … by “fixing” the problem for free while I do without gaming for a month or so? Wow, that makes perfect sense. How does repairing something for free (that shouldnt have needed to be repaired in the first place) going to make up for the probably thousands of times that I closed my eyes, held my breath, and pressed the power button on my 360 … just hoping that this time wasn’t the time that it died?
So, now I wait. I wait for the cardboard coffin of a box to arrive at my place. Stick my 360 in and say “have a nice trip” and hope that I get it back soon. Sure there are other, more productive things I could do since I can’t play Xbox, but that still doesn’t take away the bitterness.
All I know is that there are 2 more levels of evil aliens to rid the world of … and I cannot rest until that happens. Besides … that’s probably what Jesus would do.

Does it bother anyone else to see Christmas lights up AFTER new years day? Now of course the light problem gets on my nerves, but how bout the peeps that leave those goofy blow-up Christmas decorations in their yard? Ahh! Nobody wants to see a half inflated stupid Santa in the middle of February. Am I right? Please say I’m right… I need this.
*Public Message to The City of Richmond and Surrounding Counties*
You have until January 15th to remove all blow-up jolly Christmas junk from your front lawn… Or, I’m breaking out the Daisy Air-pump 312 BB rifle!! (See how easily these examples of holiday horror inflate after they are filled with 10 beautifully placed BB holes) 
I love Christmas, I really do, but lets not go overboard. Can I get an amen?
