Apple - iPod Photo

ok, this is really cool. expensive, but cool. i would love to carry around my library of pictures wherever i go. phil, i know that you would love this. it's got a color screen. so much fun!

still another joke....

it's only a week away. get ready for controversy either way. hopefully in the next 4 years God will raise someone up to be a great leader for our country.

John Kerry, taking a stroll with a senior member of Congress meets a
little girl carrying a small basket with a blanket over it.

Curious, he says to the girl, "What's in the basket?"

She replies, "New baby kittens" and opens the basket to show him.

"How nice," said Kerry. "What kind are they?"

The little girl says, "Democrats."

Kerry smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on.

Three weeks later again taking a stroll, he sees the little girl again
with the same basket.

Kerry says, "Watch this, it's very cute."

They approach the little girl.

Kerry asks how the kittens are and she says fine.

He then says, "What kind of kittens are they?"

and she replies, "Republicans."

Somewhat abashed, Kerry says, "Three weeks ago you said they were
"Democrats!"

"I know," she says." But now their eyes are open."

more political humor....

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude >and spotted a man in a boat below. He shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet her an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man in the boat consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 Degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

He rolled his eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man in the boat, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

so, what's new?

i am waiting to hear about the Apple store job. it should be the end of this week, but you never know. i'm looking forward to that job, it should be fun.

i saw my agent at the gym this morning and we talked for a while. he's just as frusterated as i am with this whole situation. but that's how it goes sometimes. he and i are both confident that i will sign with someone for next season. we both are hoping that it will be because i sign with someone this season. the saga continues....

i'm still waiting to be certified through 24 hour fitness to train people. everything is a waiting game right now. i'm getting good at it.

funny little story...

from an anonymous e.mail...

"WORKING PEOPLE FREQUENTLY ASK RETIRED PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO TO MAKE THEIR DAYS INTERESTING.

I WENT TO THE STORE THE OTHER DAY. I WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR ABOUT 5-MINUTES.
WHEN I CAME OUT THERE WAS A COP WRITING OUT A PARKING TICKET.
I WENT UP TO HIM AND SAID, "COME ON BUDDY, DON'T BE A JERK. HOW ABOUT GIVING A SENIOR A BREAK?"

HE IGNORED ME AND CONTINUED WRITING THE TICKET.

I CALLED HIM A BAD NAME. HE GLARED AT ME AND STARTED WRITING ANOTHER TICKET FOR HAVING WORN TIRES.

SO I CALLED HIM A WAY WORSE NAME. HE FINISHED THE SECOND TICKET AND PUT IT ON THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE FIRST.

THEN HE STARTED WRITING A THIRD TICKET.

THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE MORE I ABUSED HIM THE MORE TICKETS HE WROTE.


I DIDN'T CARE. MY CAR WAS PARKED AROUND THE CORNER AND THIS ONE HAD AN "ELECT JOHN KERRY" BUMPER STICKER ON IT!

I TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN EACH DAY NOW THAT I'M RETIRED."

what it is....

so, i'm going to try and get a job at the Apple store. it's part-time and pays pretty well. it also has good discounts, that i will not be using.... :(

any way. while you're thinking about that...
go watch this -> tunak tunak tan!

so, this is what's going on....

God is good. He is providing the things we need while i don't have a job.

yes, i am not with a team still, as of today. we'll see how the rest of today goes, and tomorrow. something could happen.

i'm doing a couple things in between. i am starting at 24 hour fitness this week as a personal trainer. i won't be training right away, but will be learning. it's not a great pay job until i start training, but that doesn't happen until november.
i'm talking with a Northwest Mutual group about selling financial solutions. i have another meeting this friday.
i'm also talking with a couple guys about computer jobs. some sales positions and other things, i have a meeting about that tomorrow.

in the free time i have between all of that, i'm teaching myself PHP. it is going well. i forgot how much i liked programming. it's coming back pretty easily.

kristie is due in a few weeks. we are going over labor exercises and relaxation for the delivery. it could be any time now. we are meeting our pediatrician today, and we have another doctors appt next week. it's getting so close! we are really excited!

public acclamation...

sometimes it's not enough to just give God a word of praise in your prayers. sometimes you just have to shout about it and tell everyone about how incredible He is.

God is just plain awesome! we have been blessed in this place. this church family is so loving and giving. we have friends from the team that are true friends and God is using all of them to bless us.

so this is just a shout out to God for the blessings that He is giving. He has already heard all of this, but i'm sure He won't get a big head if i'm saying it again.
