I’m watching the Rock N’ Jock Super Bowl…and thinking of the good ole days. When I was younger…and they had a Rock N’ Jock Basketball game and Rock N’ Jock Baseball game EVERY year…ahhhh those were the days.
But seriously folks…MTV is now…USELESS when it comes to music.
I mean useless.
I still prefer VH1

When I was younger, I used to hope for the day when I could take a shower. You see, for the first few years of my life, I had to take baths. My older brother and sister got to take showers, and mom and dad got to take showers…so I wondered why couldn’t I? Anyway, now that I CAN take showers I find myself frequently wanting to take baths more and more. That’s right. I, a 17-year-old man…take baths. I’ve found that the time I can spend in the bathtub, alone with a dripping faucet, a ticking clock, and my Bible, or a Brennan Manning book, or (dare I say it?) the latest John Grisham novel, is a time better than most for contemplation and introspection. I get more thinking done in half an hour in the tub than I do an entire week at school sometimes.
Today, I was taking a bath and thinking. I was listening to the dripping faucet and the ticking clock, and I noticed that the two were beating perfectly off of each other, forming a “drip tick drip tick” sound. The sound reminded me of a drum beat. I got to thinking about how a master musician dissects a piece of music, how he/she breaks it down into 4th notes and 8th notes and 16th notes, making into a perfectly timed masterpiece. The best musicians are often known more for their virtuoso skills than for timing, but is the impeccable timing that separates great music from great noise. I began to realize that, much as a master musician forms notes into music, using the perfect timing, or as a master mason forms bricks into the perfect formation, making the perfect wall, God forms us together, and everything happens in the perfect timing. What an epiphany! It was God who set that dripping faucet and that ticking clock apart from each other, a perfect “drip tick drip tick” beat, and it was God who planned my entire life out, causing everything to happen at a SPECIFIC time for a SPECIFIC reason.
God truly IS awesome.

As you can see from the second image in the last post, I’m thinking of using “Unfinished Sketches” as a name for my blog. I still want some feedback on this…I’m looking for the best name…so, let me know, y’all.

I have to write an essay on corruption on Hamlet. Oh joy. Oh rapture.
To write or not to write. That is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous boredom…

Okay, so I watched this movie last night, and I was very impressed. A great new western…with some old school feelings to it.
I was really impressed with Kevin Costner’s direction…given his history (Waterworld…the Postman).
It’s great stuff.
Go rent it…and then buy it.
The extra DVD features are nice as well.

Ben and Jen are no longer Hollywood’s hottest couple. Let’s observe a moment of silence on behalf of this former power couple…ok, that’s enough.
Ben…get back to the single life you know you love…go to a strip club or something.
Jen…give me a call…we’ll do lunch.
Ladies and gentleman…Bennifer has left the building. And I’m joining the bandwagon of people that’s going to talk about this for like…all week. Why? Because the world has gone insane. Insane, I tell you!
