Not Sure What To Do, I Do Know What To Splu

2007-04-14T08:17:00.000-04:00

Recently, the desire to check in with the past has stirred up the purchasing of a video series that few dare to tread. It is a set of films that only the keen mind can enjoy. An old co-worker from the KFC era has recently found popularity on YouTube with a comedic creation called CHAD VADER. Since then, a recent buddy of mine decided to take a look at an earlier comedic creation from the same past co-worker. It's a show called Splu Urtaf. Yes, you guessed it...a short email later, I now own the whole old Splu set (episodes 1-25). Can't wait to watch it all. Until then....here's another fun creation by the same BlameSociety Productions.

Playing with dolls rises to a whole new level

2007-04-08T18:35:00.000-04:00

I found this vid on U-Toob yesterday and thought it was quite groovy. This is what happens when you let boys play with dolls. Just to let you know, there was a Cosby show short in this slot on my blog for a day or so until I discovered the "F"-bomb in the middle of it. If you can stomach that word, I will show you the video privately. Instead, enjoy this little video as a warning: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BOYS PLAY WITH DOLLS (and for some reason, this seems like something I used to do with my sister's Barbie) Watch-

Well kids, once again it is time to update you on things relevant to our lives. Mud season is drawing to a close for us at the EHLTB house. Wet still but not a muck-run to the road anymore. As Easter comes out to play in the next few days, we ponder. What do colored eggs and bunnies and chickies have to do with the Resurrection of Christ? This is a great question to ponder. To answer that question with the same relevance that those items have with the Resurrection, please watch the following film:

Smoke Banshee

2007-03-22T13:38:00.000-04:00

Good day to yous everyone in the B-logging world. There is a skip in my step. There is a toaster in the oven. There is a song in my cheek. Why?

We have gone from the cold to the transitional. At my house March Mud Season has begun. It is a joyous bog track to get to the house from the road thanks to the slowly shrinking frost line in the ground. Don't misunderstand me. Mud Season only brings good things. I step outside and, besides the fragrant sewer pipe, I can smell it...worms, pine, leaves, dirt...IT'S SPRING! Generally known as a season-lover in my past, I have radically changes my view. Winter is not much more than a period of waiting. Give me lightening and thunder! Give me shorts and t-shirts accompanied by my Birkies. Camping....

Anywhat, I thought you all should know where I stand. Any questions?

2007-02-26T15:22:00.000-05:00

Winter hath blown her frozen fury again.

Making man hibernate deep in his den.

And in this season of frost and freezy beard...

there is a rumble of war and smoke to be heard.

Icy wind and snow and flake

making the homeland look like a frosted a cake.

A galloning of gas and a choking of engine

must needs be performed before war can begin (-gin?)

Put on gloves, hats and just the right gear

the wind blows a bit harder as if to scream in fear

A yank on the rope and again then she fires

pull down the lever, here comes THE DESTROYER!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Here's a nice shot of the homestead:

The Late Show with Craig Ferguson does it again!

2007-01-25T10:17:00.000-05:00

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson featured the new up-and-coming Atlanta Christian rock group called Family Force 5 on his show recently. By the looks of it, they really tore it up...no....really...THEY TORE IT UP! Watch the video all the way through. I am looking forward to seeing these guys play at Cornerstone this year (if I get to see them). They are not your typical southern rock sound, in fact they stand in the face of it with their new album entitled "Business up front...Party in the back" (you all know what they're talking about, right). I suggest you go to their MySpace site and check out the music video for Kountry Gentleman (also featured on Jesus Rock 101.7fm). The video calls out to all those Dukes Of Hazzard fans. If you listen closely, you can hear a verse about collard greens as well. Anyway, hope you all enjoy them as much as I did.

Stay tuned for a post about new developments in my yard.

Well it's not what it used to be...

2007-01-10T23:59:00.000-05:00

.... Click map to see the unbridled truth. If you must know, this week is supposed to be, on the average, the coldest week of the winter. This does not mean cold weather is over. Just understand, the weather is just not the way it was back in the olden days. The warm weather is not a problem in my opinion but it is very strange to say the least. I almost feel like I could sneak out to camp. Put up a nice wind block, build a nice fire, run a little heat in the camper.

.... I must say, this January 19th shindig we have planned for a game night is just exciting to see it come together. We....well I am at the edge of the seat looking forward to it. CSI-Menomonie...

.... Momentary interruption...I just saw Office Depots response commercial to Staples' "easy button". It is centered around a small cardboard box with a fake hand that pops out. The slogan says something like, "When you need a helping hand". Very, very sad. Almost a bit morbid.

New bands to check out:

.... Here are a few bands I have discovered recently for the radio.

AGENTS OF FUTURE - a group consisting of about 15 people who vary in age from 20 to 50. intriguing sound!

FAMILY FORCE 5 - a hillbilly rap rock party. Look them up on MySpace and watch video of "Kountry Gentleman"

SEVENTH SEAL - a tight, chunky metal band with a cool sound.

AEROFLOP - "pot smoking" music for Christians

.... More to come, but that's all for today. Each band has a MySpace. Check them out!

Behave.....wait...
...Bee Hive!

This photo is the inside of a 1955 Chevrolet that has been renovated by an impending militia of Yellow Jackets.

Becky and I (at about 11:00pm) while on our way to vacation in Bayfield last summer were listening to Public Radio and getting totally freaked out (end is near...) due to a story they were doing on the recent Yellow Jacket population surge. Normal nest sizes are roughly the size of a basketball or smaller. Apparently this evil is happening all over the south because of warmer winter temperatures. No freezy...no wasp killy. This picture is the main story they were covering. The second one was about a queen-sized mattress that had a 3-4 inch hole in it from mice, they assume. The entire inside was a Yellow Jacket nest. In both of these stories, residents claimed being able to hear the buzzing sound several yards away from the nest. With the Chevy, they heard the sound before realizing where it was coming from.

When you see crap like this, you can easily picture how pestilence outbreaks can occur as depicted in the Bible. A couple of warm winters and all of a sudden Yellow Jackets are kicking your butt. As a side note, I find it interesting that the Yellow Jackets haven't moved to warmer climates. Why live in a region that restricts your nest sizes to a basketball or smaller when you have thousands of El Caminos to fill where it's a whole lot warmer? Isn't that anti-evolutionary?

I'm Back in the blogging circles with new found yippies!

2006-12-30T17:22:00.000-05:00

Well kids, I have to say that it has been some time since I've been here. I didn't grow stale with it but too busy to do it. I have some plans blog-wise that I think some will enjoy but we'll see if it manifests in the coming days. For now, hello and good day.

What's new? Well, Becky and I are home for an entire day which is rare. Usually if we have a whole day off, we will drive and be "out" for a chunk of the day. No, not today. This time we stayed in, I am currently wearing the sweatpants that I put on when I rolled out of bed (no alarm)....sweet! I watched "Big Trouble In Little China" this morning (which I had never seen before). Hummmm.... well, funny....some good spots, mostly bad acting. Kurt Russel's accent as a trucker was awful. There was a ton of awesome karate and a cool demi-god who beamed light from his eyes and mouth. After that, I took the belt sander to the pots and pans and dishes. I know...."How domestic of you, pastor"...

We have just made the decision to stay home the rest of the day. I am down with that, holms. As I type, I am listening to the CD the music team made who traveled to the Philippines the last time we did a music trip. The CD includes Tim, Sharon, Becky, me, Steve, Faye, Laura Dyer, Jeremiah Newton. It's too strange to think that this was recorded so long ago. Ya ever feel like you are getting freakin' old? Yesterday I just finished the newsletter with a 12 page photo journal of the many years of Jesus Fellowship/Calvary Chapel. You know what? A lot of farggin' years have passed bye, dude. The crazy thing is there were 6+ years BEFORE I started coming to this church that I know nothing (really) about. I have been in this church for heading into 12 years. That's equal to all of the pre-college schooling I went through. DEWD!!!! Lots of crap has happened, man.

Let's hope you all can have a 12 year stint in the church (and, of course, way more after that). I say that with tongue in cheek because so many people I have known over the years have fallen off the boat. That really bites to sit and remember their faces and the things we did together. Where are they now? God only knows. It's an inspiration to pray for them.
As the new year comes, I am blessed with all the people I know today and I only hope and pray we can all lock arms and be together until the end. Not likely, but I would love to see it happen. My church today is top notch. The people are "my family". It's an awesome thing. Wish the fallen ones were here to see it happen too.

Well, I'm gonna sign off but I hope to see you all at church for the last day of 2006 and hope to see you and help me "usher in tha now yarr" (from trading places). 5...4...3...2...1..."Should old acquaintances be forgot and never brought to blahhh....."

On a more realistic note...

2006-10-19T17:59:00.000-04:00

In college, this was one of the coolest music videos I ever saw. It still stands today. It was my favorite band in the early 1990's. Though still impressed with their talent, their image and lyrical content leaves little to be desired. This video, however, is well done. It's full of nice camera angles and arid scenery. So, I salute 1993 with this piece of quintessential American heritage....

It is at this time that I would like to let you all know. I am sorry that my posting has gone mostly video these days. It seems that life is currently too busy for a beefy blog. I hope to remedy this soon. Until then, you should practice your hip-hop beats with Biz and then be ready to share them. Leper is coming to The Munchies this friday and maybe I will get some video of that show up here. I assure you, my blog will return to it's regularly scheduled program soon. Thanks, friends....EHLTB

Not sodamn fast here! Jusht a darrn shecond here... Exxon....Exxon....why do you Valdes me so? Drippity drip drip on the lawn. Leaky leaky Exxon Valdes...the gas continues to flow. Maybe tonight....maybe tonight by the car no aroma in sight. Yes. I think tonight thanks to my good man Steve. (He works quick by the way). Things have been qwayzee around here. Now that Shoopoo is done, we press on toward winter. All the while we look for those last moments to stand outside in a t-shirt yet in comfort. Will if fall tonight, I ought not speak so. Oh, brown penny, brown penny....-=EHLTB

Back In The Saddle Again...

2006-08-25T01:44:00.000-04:00

Trucko no leako anymore. Thanks to the hardy work of Mr. Steve B. That is correct. My mini-monster truck is not leaking gas anymore. My front yard no longer smells of Exxon and let me tell you, it is nice.

Well, last night B and I were going to go directly to the campground but were inhibited because of severe weather. I love nasty weather. The wind...the lightning...sirens...creepy digital voices explaining that we should "stay inside". But I like these things on my terms. I guess, God had other plans. So, we enjoyed a non-outside movie watching. It was worth it because packing is gonna take some time for the camping trip this weekend.

That's all for now....see you at the campout...

HIT THE DECK!!!!!!

2006-08-21T11:03:00.000-04:00

Well, here's the first picture of the deck. All I need to add to this structure are steps and some trim boards. Next spring we'll put plants and shrubs around the sucka. It's large enough to sit six people with a table and a grill. It's about 11 feet by 12 feet. I finished it yesterday and then B and I sat out there until almost dark. It was really a nice cool shady sit. We'd like to maybe put up a canvas canopy up in the future - one of those you would see set up in the center area at Fleet Farm with the wrought-iron-like work. Dunham Sports had a 10 x 10 on sale for $79 a few weeks ago. If you look closely in the background you can see the Exxon Valdes. What you need to do to propperly view this picture is to soak a rag in gas...sniff it for about 20 seconds...then open your eyes to look at this picture. If the wind floats gently from the southwest, this is what you will experience.

Let the Exxon Fun Continue...

2006-08-12T20:18:00.000-04:00

Life's a gas! Literally! As the Toyota continues to pour liquid gold into the driveway I ponder greater things. One thing for sure is an 85% complete deck. The cool part is that I was just assuming that I had enough decking. As the project went along I was setting up the floor joists when, lat minute measurements I opted to cut off 10 inches of the joists for fear of being too close to the house with the deck. So, I whacked off the joists. The last thing I did tonight before sitting my rear down to rest was B and I laid out all the remaining deck pieces across the joists. Lo and behold, just enough decking material! Had I left the 10 inches of joist in place, I would have come up two rows short in the decking material. Thanks to the Master Carpenter the job is gonna work out just perfect. Thanks Easter Bunny! (Bok Bok).

The Exxon leak may continue but it will sure look cool from my groovy deck, aymeah?

The Blog Wave Begins to Fizzle Like Shizzle, My Drizzle!

2006-08-11T10:58:00.000-04:00

WILL LOLO OR TRAVIS EVER POST ON THEIR BLOGS AGAIN?

Shall we begin a digital wager? I believe Lolo may but Travis won't. See, blogging for me was a big decision. Do I or Do not I? That was the question. If I am in, I am in all the way. If not then I might as well drop the matter.

I am totally jazzed for the Church campout this year. It is another weekend of wicked volleyball and hanging out with my friends. Every year it is a blast.

On that note, I believe I have fixed the gas line leak under my Toyota. My yard basically smelled of "Exxon Valdes" for over two weeks. Conclusion to my assessment: Rubber lines-cheap, easy to replace but sharp metal objects on the highway chop into them and entropy along with the aging process breaks them down. All I can say is that I'm glad that I don't have a "flailing-burning-matches" addiction or my house in the pine trees mixed with "gasy-leaky Toyota" could have equaled black smoky stinky heap.

Digital wager....
Lolo - yes but aftera couple of months
Travis - no

Whuz Goin Down?

2006-08-07T15:52:00.000-04:00

Well kids... It's time to close the book on Cornerstone 2006. I tried to bask in it as much as possible but now it's time to move on.

What the "H"-"E"-double-hockey-sticks is happening these days? Well, B and I have begun construction on a new deck for the love-shack. It will be a long process, I predict, because it is my first "dew-it-yer-selfer" home project. It (with all hopes) will be roughly 12 feet by 12 feet. It will have a rifle turret for deer hunting and will become home to (underneath anyway) hundreds of furry woodland rodents. We plan on moving the gas grill to said location for fall cook-outs (2006). Thanks to my dad, this project has become reality. He donated 98% of the building supplies. It's super cool!

B and I went on a camping trip a couple of weeks ago to the Bayfield area. We stayed two nights in Memorial Park located along the shore of Superior in Washburn. Daisy took her first ever swim in Lake Superior. Guess what? She can dog paddle. Ahhhh the wonders of evolution, huh? Yeah, whatever. She was created to do that! She also enjoyed chasing the white-caps that were rolling in. The chasing included mean growling and dashing back and fourth. Those white-caps leaned a good lesson that day, I tell you! B and I also spent 3 hours out in a sail boat charting the mighty waves. Interesting! I just realized that we went on a literal "3-hour tour". Weird. We had a great time. Thanks to T and G for the boat time.

Stay tuned.... YESHUAPOLOOZA Jesus Rock Festival is just around the corner. Details are HERE

Oh yeah..... Who's that in the background behind the crowd? The Blind Munchies! I believe the band is Underoath. We'll see you there next year at Cornerstone. To see other images go to Cornerstone Festival on the web. We had a total blast. It was hard work and fast paced. We stayed up late and got up early. The whole trip was good discipleship training for our group. Lord knows we were met with highs and lows. After having a wheel bearing go on the equipment trailer, no running water, no electricity, near 100 degree temps with high humidity, and no good tasting water for coffee and espresso, we finally got up and running. what a neat opportunity for us. We raised money for India and had good ministry training. All while serving a good hot cup of coffee. Badda boom badda stink!
