Near& Dear

Well friends, it's time to post again. The last few posts have been random ramblings ruv rye rind. Whoops. Alliteration is always a plus. Anyway, I thought I'd talk this morning about a subject, as the title suggests, near & dear to my heart. What is it? God? No, I could write for eons and still not have said all there is about The Man. So is it about TFK? Probably not. I think Rustprooof wants to go see my band. I mean my favorite band. So, what is it then? Well it's deodorant. Why do they call it deodorant? I personally have never seen the Odorant. It's kind of strange like that. And a few other things. Why do we put it under our armpits? Aren't the arms closed most of the day and under shirts? I guess it's a mystery for the ages. Why does men's deodorant get the "gay" names? "Glacial Falls" "Aqua Reef" "Mountain Rush". I want to see names like "Bloody Killing Field" and "Freshly Gutted Deer". And finally, why aren't cologne or perfume called deodorant? They are what makes us smell good, aren't they? Well kiddies and adults, it's time to fly. Peace Y'all! Dis boy is gone.

The joys

Well loyal reader, I thought I'd throw you all a bone or something like that. I have been rather busy this week. I worked Tuesday through Friday and did like a 1000 things Saturday (notice 1000 things is actually closer to 10). Anyway, I thought I'd share a few things on my mind. . . ready?

Here we go.

Not a whole lot there. Continuing on . . . A few dear friends came home to visit us. It was delightful to see them. I don't get out of Hibbing much but I should try eh? So, the basement of the CoffeeHouse is painted now too. It looks decent. I can't really describe the color as more than the word "Cappacino" or perhaps the word "Mocha" is a better word. We also did the highway clean-up. It was fun. It kind of made me miss the old Rustproof probably because I thought of all the people we had out there last time. And yesterday, we only had 4 other than myself. It was still good. Well I think that's it.

Let me add one thing. I am going to ask that my reader(s) do me a favor over the following days/weeks/months. I come from a different time in Rustproof. The transition of not having lots of people for activities kind of gets to me 1/2 the time. So could we pray for a change in that whether it be me or if more people start coming to Rustproof. And I suppose a greater involvement in the College activities. Well now I's is out. I mean I'm out.

This is a short post. Enough said.

Well greetings readers. I am coming to you from a time you may have never seen before (parents excluded- you've seen times earlier than this when your kids were but wee ones). Well I thought I'd inform you all that I've decided to stick the work-thing through for 1 month and re-assess the situation then. Hopefully, it will all be good.

So other than that, I haven't really been too busy with things. I do have homework I need to do. . . . Writing a reaction paper to a video showing the differences between Men & Women. I didn't want to show the teacher up being I know the difference between the two. . . (If you don't know, ask your mom). And besides, isn't college about learning more than what you already know? I know many people believe that college is for exploring who you are . . . .Not me. I know who I am in Christ. 'Nuf said.

I can add one thing onto the end of this that will put joy in Rob's heart. I found another born & raised Republican here living on "The Range". She's in my 2 day classes ( both day courses). We discuss the things we Repub's belive in. . . It's great having someone who shares your political beliefs to chat with in such a liberal age.

Well I suppose I can leave a question for the 4-6 readers to comment on so what to ask??? I could ask your favorite college. . . . but I know the answer to all that will be the college deemed "Da U". Oh I have a grand idea. What is your favorite thing kind of pizza toppings. . . . allow Mr. Dan to go first. . . . Pepperoni and Pineapple with extra-sauce. It sounds weird, but I assure you it's quite delicious.

HELP!!!

Hey readers, how are things on your end of the block? They go well here. I do need some help in an area. I can't divulge too much about the situation, but I'm unsure of things at work. I like the job. I like hanging with the kid and all. The only thing that makes me unsure is that I think he's looking for a father-igure. I'm only 22. I don't have any young kids to hang around to gain experience from. I'm left feeling very ummm . . . . odd. He's a good kid and all. I just don't know if I'm ready for that kind of role in life yet. I'm rather happy I don't have kids at this age. He doesn't like sports or anything. I don't know what to do at all. Any help??

Well kiddies (that includes you over the age of 30), I thought I needed a new post . . . why? I don't really know why that is. I suppose it could be a result of not really having someone to speak with this morning that is not of the dog-variety. I started work last night. It was rather fun. I worked at Winston Courts (where I'm trained to work but not on everything). They called me yesterday afternoon to ask me if I can fill in. So I agreed barring they show me what to do. So I worked yesterday from 2-4 and from 5-8. It was fun. So now today I start my normal job. I guess I know the mom from like 10 years ago when I lived in Chisholm . . . She said she knows me anyway. I wonder if she'll be hurt I don't know her. Meh, I think I'm going now . . .

I tried a color fade thing, did it turn out?

homework

I got homework. . . . I don't want to do it. I'll give someone a bright shiny nickel to do it for me. I probably shouldn't pawn it off on you my readers. This is a good week. I got a job, I found a green pen. And I got to see the lil' nephew. I think I'm his favorite uncle. He has 3 but I'm his favorite. I let him watch Sportscenter. I like Sportscenter. Well just so you all know, I am employed with Extended Family Home Care. I'm a licensed PCA ( I think it stands for Pretty Cool Aaron but that's wrong). But I dunno I'm just rambling now . . . yep . . . rambling. I think I need to get a haircut and dye my hair. Any suggestions in color?

Well my faithful readers more exciting news is happening in the life of R. Milhouse Nixon. I did see the little nephew last night. He seems to actually like me . . . the first baby ever. Last night he came over for a bit. He just sat contently in my arms and watched the 5PM edition of SportsCenter.

I recently was awarded the opportunity to get one of those job things. I took the offer. So what does that mean? Well, if you can't figure it out when it's that easy I suppose I will just state it this way: "Hey Knuckle-head, I got a job." Good enough? Great. So what does this mean in terms of my maturity level? Will I become one of those grown-ups? I already have been for 4 years now. I was just missing the employment part of it. Does it mean I will act more responsibly? To be honest, I've thought I've been a rather responsible person the last few years. Does it mean anything in terms of growing up?? The fact that I can finally say, "I want to buy my own Golden Grahams (Or Fruity Pebbles & Cocoa Pebbles as the case may be) ."

So what is the best cereal?

Well, with the occasional upset "tummy" I am completely over my flu. Dehydration couldn't keep me down. I'm good to go. Or as my little "square sponge" friend says, "ffffffffffffffffffffffffff-drip-drip-drop."

Today

Well let me begin by saying I am feeling better today. Yesterday I was suddenly stricken with the flu. Thankfully, I am over the puking part of it. I am bothered by it a little bit.

But onto other more positive news. I am now Uncle Kranny for real. My step-brother and his girl-friend had their child on Saturday. His name is Aiden James or something like that. I am a bit disappointed to say he's a carrot-top (that's what his dad calls him). I suppose that's it for news in my life. Not too much going on when you're sick.

But to give this post meaning I thought I'd state that nothing annoys me more than bands taking a classically great album and then in turn make it more crappy by removing the elements that made it great. TFK- Set it Off (original) was a great CD. Then they decided to re-make the whole CD and added a few tracks that well . . . stink. I love the band and stuff I just don't like it( the CD or the concept). It kind of reminds me of someone else's acts . . . Well I think I need to go drink some ambrosia . . . . .sweet ambrosia.

Top 5

I think I need to create a new list of things . . . . but what? Top 5 list of things to eat with Sardines? No, too bland. Top 5 list of great songs? Too much conflict. What about top 5 list of good bands? Not enough. It'd be 1 great band with 4 posers. I think I got it. Be prepared for the Top 5 list of events to drink Coke at.

5. A Vikings game
4. A Miami Hurricanes football game
3. Church Services
2. A Coke Drinking contest (if they exist otherwise I will have to create one.)
And the number 1 event to drink Coke at. . . . any special event (e.g. wedding, funeral, baby dedication).

I think I should say a few words here.

To drink coke is so much more than drinking a caffienated
beverage. It's even more than drinking a carbonated beverage. It is an
honor. I think that if Jesus were here in
human form today he himself would drink Coke. He'd drink water every-so-often
but as opposed to wine he'd be turning water into Coke. There is just so much to
say about Coke. I would like to thank Dr. Pemberton for
creating this wonderful drink. I will conclude this by simply saying, "Party on, Rein-man."
Next time you're in town; we should grab some Coke and live it up. If
anyone ever wants to do Coke shots give Big D
(That's me) a call.

I think we all need to party with this guy here. I'm out!
