Bought Half Life 2: Silver last night. So I guess that means CS: Source is being played by Harry right now. Yeah, I know. A game works on my computer, I'm just as amazed as you are. Looks fun, maybe I'll go play too. I hope that will be enough to bring certain folks home next weekend.
Sometimes I feel like writing about things in a non-musical fashion. This is where those things end up.

Act your age.
Better yet, dress your age. Working at the mall (way too much, I might add), I see all kinds of middle-aged women shopping in Vanity and dressing like their daughters. I mean seriously, who thinks that's a good idea? I could go my whole life without ever seeing a middle-aged women in a belly shirt, and be fine. But no, apparently they think I would like to see that. Just c'mon, you don't see old guys wearing baggy pants and crooked hats, yet you see the middle-aged ladies wearing fake thrift store shirts, and short pleated skirts. Why do they feel the need to keep up with the latest fashions in Seventeen? Last I checked it's called Seventeen because that's the age demographic they're shooting for. It's not called Fourty-Something. Stop the madness! Suffice it to say, my goat has been got.

Made me think.
I just read this, Ronnie Martin wrote it.
Tradition is what gives us a model for how the Christian church should function as a body, which is why we look to the New Testament and that early church model that's been given to us. Non-denominational churches over the last 30 years have had a bent towards being "contemporary", "culturally relevant" with "eyes firmly fixed on the future". Tradtions offer a depth and richness, as well as give us a firm grasp on the essentials; which also don't change with the trends of the times. Of course, people can place too much value on the external aspect of traditions just like they can on being non-traditional. The odd thing is that most of us place a great amount of importance on tradition, so why wouldn't we do the same within our church? The importance of traditions in families and relationships are literally the glue that holds together and preserves them. There's a reverance and respect that comes with holding to traditions, so if I'm that intent on preserving them within my family, why should I do any less within a church family?
Interesting...

You can run...
Lookie what I found! After much wild speculation and worry (on my part at least), Fine China is still alive! Can I get a booyah?

Update.
Yup. Leg's bleeding alright. Not as bad as some people, whom I brutally maimed. Sorry Corey.

Cheers to your mustaches!
I just got to get a Gmail account. I guess it's an email account that has a gig of storage. Neato! Last I heard only certain people got invites for 'em too. I feel special. The trick is I actually have to use the thing...
I enabled comments on here... I didn't even know you could do that. Must be new. What does that mean for you, the consumer? It means this will be less like me standing on my soapbox shouting from the rooftops (the rooftops!), and more like a town hall meeting where even creepy Bob gets a say in where the new grain elevator goes! Oh yeah, that and you won't have to talk to me through your blog either...

What could be greater?
Hey whoever reads this,
Rock 30 Games (my place of employment) is having a FREE (!) BBQ this Saturday from 11 am - 2 pm. It's at 115 S. Bell St. which is off of Memorial Highway. If you're heading toward the bridge from Washington, it'll be at the bottom of the hill there on Bell. There's really no reason to pass up free food and some video game playing time too, so I hope you all come.
*Begin unrelated rant*
Why is it that when something bad happens that no one can do anything about, they always say stuff like "I guess all we can do now is pray...", like it's some sort of crappy last resort? I mean, it's not always meant that way, but it seems like a lot of the time it is. Praying isn't some last resort to fall back on when your human answers fail, it should be the basis of everything you do! Prayer should be the first resort, not the last. Praying isn't the least you can do, it's the most you can do!
*End unrelated rant*
Come to the BBQ!

Adam Risch is a nice guy.
Wow. This is a good example of some of the great things blogs can be used for. You never know when someting you say is exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Adam Risch is a big jerk.
Ok, now I might be setting my self up here (when I say that, I of course mean I'm completely setting myself up) but I think I know what the enemies in Resident Evil 4 are going to be. They're not any kind of zombies, we know this much for sure, but I have a pretty good guess as to what they are. People with Mad Cow disease. No kidding. I'm completely serious here. Wait and see, I'll be right, so back up off me, fool.
