I'm Back

On a limited basis....I'm back to blogging. I think I was trying to hard in the past and pulled a brain muscle (and I have none to spare).

RIP Blogging

Blogging is dumb. May it rest in peace.

iTunes Anonymous

Admitting it is the first step

Ok, here I go, Clearing my throat, "hemmm, Hello, my name is Jonathan."

Picture about 15 non-descript people drinking coffee out of Styrofoam cups eating stale donuts, and sitting on folding chairs replying "Hi Jonathan"

As embarrassing as it is I continue on "I'm an iTunes-a-holic".

Anyway, I can't help it....I like music, I like being able to download it at the touch of a button, and I like playing the music whether it be on my iPod, my computer, in my car, or on my stereo. I'm hooked and I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to climb back up on the wagon. I need this 12 step program. I need a support group. I need to download another song!!!! Oops, just fell off the wagon again.

Sunday Morning Values, Saturday Morning Fun

VeggieTales is the most recognized kids faith and values-based property in the U.S, I recently found out. They've sold 52 Million videos since 1993. We own about 15 of them and I buy them everytime I see a new one. All of them have a lesson from the Bible, they are funny, and educational. I think I like them as much as my son.

A company with integrity is hard to find. Big Idea, the creator of VeggieTales, is a company with it's priorities in order. Check out their mission statement

If you are unfamiliar with VeggieTales, you won't be for long....they are coming to NBC. Get involved.

Hate Crime

I am not sure why Christians don't view this symbol as a "Hate Crime". Could you imagine any other religion remaining silent about the desecration of one of their religious symbols.

Cannonball!!!

Well, she said she would do it, and she did. A co-worker warned that at the project BBQ, she was going to sport a bathing suit and do a cannonball into the pool. Sure enough, about halfway through the BBQ, she took off her shorts and tank top, down to her tankini, and walked right over to the diving board and did a perfect cannonball into the Program Manager's pool. She then swam to the edge, got out, and put her clothes back on.

I will not be able to look at her the same way again. Tomorrow is going to be very awkward. I don't think that co-workers need to get that comfort level where bathing suits are involved. Now, I know that co-workers often become friends and hang out together. That happens all the time. But it's another thing to be at a "bathing suit" stage of friendly with co-workers, against their wilingness. I mean, you only work with them because you have to.

Abandon Ship?

I don't know yet...but this is how I feel.
