The return of Friday Photo!

Welcome to Friday Photo, a feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

This shot fascinated me, if just for the way that bird’s legs are bent…

Merry Christmas!

Now it’s time for me to tell my own Santa story.

When I was in high school, every year at church we took a Saturday and watched everybody’s kids so their parents could go out and shop that day. One of the highlights was that Santa would come and we’d take pictures of all the kids with him for their parents.

Well, the last Santa visit of the day one year, I got drafted to play the big guy. I got the suit on and went in to greet the kids, sat down, and did the pictures. As I was leaving, some of the bigger kids realized it was me and tackled me and started to take the suit off of me.

I think they knew because my “Santa voice” sucked.

So, I’ve been Santa. And I was assaulted by 4th graders. Now you know.

Video of the day: Hear me sing!

Well, me and about 30 other folks…

This is from last week’s service, and it’s a unique arrangement of Away in a Manger by David Ashley White

Back computing

After replacing the motherboard and processor, my computer’s back up and running again. Which, of course, means I’ll be back to blogging soon.

So no more oi this light blogging crap!

I’ll get a Friday Photo up sometime this weekend and get normal blogging back rolling.

Y’all miss me?

A statement from Justin regarding TigerGate

I would just like to state, for the record, that I have never had an affair with Tiger Woods. I realize that I'm in the minority on this, but it is the truth. I have no "transgressions" of that kind to confess publicly, nor do I ever plan on having them.

Still having computer problems

There won't be a Friday Photo this week because my computer died when I got back from Fort Worth. I'll make up for it when I get it fixed, I promise. It's just not terribly high on the priority list right now.

In other news, IT SNOWED TODAY!!!

How about that global warming, huh?

Well, it is a zebra!

No word, though, if he was as blind as the ones on the football field usually are.

Update on the computer problems

I took the computer apart and debugged, thinking I found why it wouldn’t start and dreading what it would cost for me to fix it.

And then last night I hit the power button just for the hell of it and it started up just fine and has been working perfectly since.

What the fuck, man? Really?

I’m hoping that it was just some weird glitch, but who knows. I won’t be breathing easy for a while…

Blogging will be light...

Blogging will be light because my computer has decided to put my troubleshooting skills to the test and I haven't passed it yet. I've got it narrowed down to two or three things, I just have to do some testing on it to rule things out.

Regular blogging will likely not resume until after Thanksgiving since I'll be out of town anyway. Not that I've been blogging regularly anyway, but still...

Sit your ass down

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

The question had a bunch of chair pictures. It asked which you’d sit in.

You Are Energetic and Innovative

You're the type of person who can sit all day planning a new idea or a project. You like to discover and create. You are likely to have a challenging career and challenging interests outside of work. You give a first impression of being a bit obsessive. And while this is true, you never let your obsessions take over you. You are an armchair scientist. You like to experiment and tinker with things to learn about them.

More ducks

Uh… no.

I have to stop taking quizzes meant for women.

You Should Have Super Long Hair

You are free spirited and carefree. You are a total wild child, and no one is going to tame you! Your hair tells people that you're an individual who doesn't care what other people think. You and your hair break all the rules. You are a mysterious type who has many secrets. You prefer to keep to yourself. There's a lot hiding behind that hair. Very few people truly understand what you are all about.

Say hello to the ducky!

I’ve got tons of duck pictures. I probably shot 100 around the duck pond. It was awesome.

Videos of the day: Nubs

Nubs was on Conan the other night and it’s a great story so I decided to share it with y’all!

I just clicked on that one because it looked like it was chocolate!

Basically you got nine wedding cake pictures and were told to pick one.

You Are a Big, Bold Wedding

Love makes you feel spoiled and decadent. When you're loved, it brings out the bolder, brighter side of you. To be unloved would make you feel invisible. You count on love to give you the validation that all humans crave. For you, romantic love is rich, deep, and meaningful. You don't fall in love lightly. When you love someone, you really put your heart in it. You don't go halfway, and you don't hold back.

Another pic from the zoo

I remember, when I was looking at this fella, there were a couple of ladies just amazed by him. I handed them my camera and told them “Take a closer look.”

I’m just awesome like that.

Dear anonymous chickenshit,

Do you have nothing better to do than go around on some random guy’s blog and calling me a “FREEK?”

You hide behind the shroud of being “Anonymous,” as if I’ll never know who you are.

I don’t have a high tolerance for bullshit so, below the jump, is some information that makes you a bit less anonymous:

What I expected to hear

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

You Are the Suburbs

You've got a bad rap, but you think people are just jealous of how good you've got it. You prefer to live somewhere that's clean, safe, and cheap. What could be wrong with that? You're not going to apologize for liking chain restaurant and good schools. While you may not be as sophisticated as the city, you're content with your life. Plus, there's more to do in the suburbs than people think. Besides, you can visit the city anytime you'd like. And when you're fun in town is done, you have a comfy suburban house to come home to.

Are You the Suburbs or the City?
