A Rebuttal (of sorts)

Well, apparently my review of Talladega Nights caused a bit of controversy, not becasue they disagreed with my opinion of that movie, but because I mentioned the movie Ishtar in a less than elevated manner. I guess this guy (see comment on previous post) has set up some kind of sniffer to find when people mention this movie that he feels is so great. How many people out there are talking about Ishtar? That has gotta result in like 1 hit a month on a good month!

Anyway, he pretty much said that I am not a very bright person for putting down his flick. I guess I have to to take a cue from a friend of mine (props to you , Ric). If you do not like what I have written on my blog that is fine and dandy. You have the right to your opinion. I just ask you to remember that you are not held hostage here, nor is this blog being sent out in virus form. There are a lot of other things to look at, and some of them may agree with you!

For all three of my regular readers (fiber is good), please disregard the followng paragraph as I am trying to see if that yo-yo is going to comment again: Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar Ishtar. I think that is enough.

Big snow storm coming in the next couple of days. It sounds like the magic oven is going to be sliding sideways down the highway. Should be interesting. well, I am going to sign off now. I wonder if my friend will write back. I felt hurt at first and then went and looked at some of the stuff on his blog. I feel much better now.

I bid you adieu!

Home - Playing Hookey

Well, today I am not going to work! Jessica woke us up at about 4:00am by worshipping at the porcelain altar. Tammi was scheduled to work today, and she was going to be running the clinic by herself, so Dad stays home! I like having the day off, but tomorrow is going to be a rough day now. Oh, well, what am I supposed to do? I know Tammi would rather be home, so we will just soldier on and everything will work out in the end.

I will take a moment to give a movie review here. Make no mistake, I love NASCAR. I would even go so far as to say that up until this morning there was nothing NASCAR that I did not like (with the exception of NBC's NASCAR coverage). This morning I finally had the misopportunity to watch Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This movie made Ishtar look like an Academy award winner. It was painfully bad. I had been told that you would either love it or hate it, b ut this flick took crap to a whole new low. There, my soul has been cleansed.

Well, old Blaze needs a gas tank repair. She has been hemmorhaging something fierce, and besides the fact that it is not very safe to have a leaking gas tank, it is getting pretty expensive. She can drain a 1/4 tank overnight. So, she sits for now until I can have a little warmer weather to remove and repair the offending tank. Keep her and my wallet in your prayers!

Other than that, the only major thing going on in my life is church. As always there are ups & downs there. We are nearing the end of our study in James in our Sunday School class, and it has been very good - for me at least. Sometime I am not sure if anyone else gets anything out of it. We are going to do a study on Nehemiah next. I have been listening to a sermon series onthe book, and it has really challenged me in a lot of ways to be a better husband, parent, person, teacher, friend, & a whole lot more. I highly recommend it!

Well, take care of yourselves - the three of you that have replied! I hope your day goes well, and until I blog again - adieu.

Still here

Just want to take a second to see if anyone is looking. Life is very hectic, but we are still here. I guess I would like to know if anybody is reading this or even checking it anymore. Please let me know by leaving a comment. I guess that will help me decide if I am going to try to make this a priority again. It is not that I don't want to write, but if I am simply writing for my own amusement then I have other things that I can devote the energy to. IF there are a few people that truly do want that little peek into what goes on at Hyde Manor then I am willing to continue. Let me know!
