CHEESE!!!

I've always had a profound respect for cheese....it is used in so many idioms of the english language! Not to mention it tastes sooooo good!! G.K. Chesterton seemed to think the same. You can read here, his complaint about the lack of cheese in poetry. Also there is a poem there dedicated to cheese!

Three cheers for CHEESE!!

Happy?

Good ol' NBC news is once again informing us of such desirous information. However, this time they decide to take a more abstract concept and make it as materialistic as possible....it gave me a good laugh.

Perhaps I will join the laughing class!!

Johnny Cash

Here's an intense music video, and I believe the last, by Johnny Cash I just recently happend upon. Let me know what you all think.

And BTW, I apologize for such a lack of blogging lately....I seem to go in phases. One week I am blogger savvy, and the next, contract some sort of illness that hinders all my blogging capabilities. Currently I am looking for a cure...if anyone so happens to have one, please let me know!!

Life Lesson

As of the past couple of months, we have had the ping pong table up in our garage. During these intense finger nail biting, keeps you on the edge of your seat, matches, I have learned some life lessons!

Lesson 1: Always expect the unexpected.
Ping pong application: Beware of your hand eye coordination becoming temporarily impaired. Some of the best excuses that can be used are: "there is an odd glare on the table," "the lighting is to dim," "my eyes are fuzzy." (etc.)

Lesson 2: Always be relaxed. Tensing up or becoming frustrated only makes situations worse.
Ping pong application: While playing war pong don't tense up. Tensing up makes the pain of the ball striking your stomach slightly more intense. If you remain relaxed, the strike is able to distribute more evenly throughout the gut area thus relieving the sharp stinging sensation.

Lesson 3: Better to be safe than sorry!
Ping pong application: Always place the paddle over your face when playing war pong. Even if your opponent is striking your back. When playing in an enclosed area, with walls a maximum of 9 feet away, chances are the ball will ricochet off the wall and hit you in the face with the same amount of velocity!

Lesson 4: Always better to have the best gear.
Ping pong application: One's paddle is the key to his/her game. Often times having a better paddle can make or break your performance.

A new discovery!!

This may seem like old news to most of you....but I have just recently discovered that you can buy books on tape from itunes!! And not just by modern authors but also books by C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, T.S. Eliot, Christopher Paolini (I know he is a modern author but still....)and so many more!! The reason for my ecstacy is this: at work I am able to listen to music through my ipod the whole time I am there. Recently I have been listening to the Narnia series and have begun to feel very sad now that I am on the last book. However, my mourning was turned into dancing when I discovered itunes audiobooks!! Work now seems more inviting when I can take fairy land along with me as well as systematic theology! :~)
