Update: The girl at church. Her name is Karen Nelson. We went to church on Christmas Eve and we sat near the front. They had a strings section for the evening - she plays the violin - and they were dressed semi-formally. She sure looked divine. Anyways, today in the newspaper, there was a "Student Profile" on her!! I learned many things from this. She is interested in music, just like myself. History is her favorite subject, just like myself. She wants to go into a career that involves music and traveling, just like myself. Coincidence? Hmm..I think I need to introduce myself to her. We shall see.

We all know who Bono and the Edge are, but who are those other two fellas in U2? Obviously Bono and the Edge planned on them being the only ones in the spotlight, or they would have named the band U4....

The Mystery of Britney's Breasts.

A few years ago I attempted to visit every website on the Internet. I forgot where I left off.

Ahh, Christmas is coming to a close. I don't feel as depressed now as I did this time last year. Maybe it will set in post-New Years. We shall see. Oh yeah, the girl in church, Karen. My cousin pointed out to me that she strikingly resembles Mandy Moore, thus the attraction. I concur.

For the holiday season, the gracious lords at my place of employment are not requiring us to wear our uniforms. Because of this, some of my fellow co-workers had this hair-brained idea to have a retro day at work. Well, tomorrow is the day. I spent $10 at Savers, and my outfit is complete. I can't wait for the sneers and jeers.

So there is this really beautiful gal at church who plays piano every Sunday during the service. Our eyes have met a few times, and I am thinking she might be into me. Anyways, after the service, my Grandpa goes up to her and starts telling her how much he enjoyed her piano playing today and stuff. I am like, dude, why can't I do that? Getting tips from my Grandpa, how nice is that. Okay, so one of these Sundays, I am going to go up to this gal, and talk to her. Maybe ask her out or something. The question is: Does Brent have enough balls to go up to a girl he doesn't know and ask her out? Well, if Grandpa can do it (although he didn't ask her out, sicko) and if friend Andy can do it (he asked out some random chick in our Geo 111 class), then Brent can do it! Okay, easier said than done. I will keep you posted. Oh yeah, her name is Karen.

Happy Hanukwanzmas!

Last night I had my first bad dream in years. Boxelder bugs. Hundreds of them everywhere. That wasn't the scary part though. I got out a kleenex and squeezed a bunch at a time, like ten. Then, BEEP BEEP BEEP, my alarm woke me up just as they were scrunching. Whew.

I was watching TV tonight, and a commercial came on. "You have big plans this weekend. Unfortunately, so does your period." I'm offended.

I exposed my dad to the greatness of TV Land. I think its his new favorite channel.

I am gonna try and start calling my superiors and various others "sir" and "ma'am." Bringing it back to the old school. See what happens.

As I walked into the break room I noticed a half eaten King Size Kit-Kat sitting on the counter. "That's been sitting there since my last break at 2:00," one lady offered. "Well, what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger," I replied. Wow, that was a good candy bar.

Last week I woke up one morning, well, actually, I woke up all of the mornings. Anyways, one of the morning, when I awoke, my uvula was sitting on my tongue. I didn't know thats what it was at first, so I kinda just sat there, rather scared. Like every other time I am nervous, I went to sit on the can. As I was sitting there, moving my head side to side, I felt the thing moving around. Then i reached back and tried to grab it and see if thats what it was. Sure enough. My uvula (hangy-ball thing in the back of the throat) was inflamed. I guess I was allergic to something that was around me. Oh well, hasn't happened since. Oh this crazy life.

Sometimes I wonder if eating the chili is really worth it.

Thirteen of my co-workers were laid off on Monday. That was my first day back to work since Thanksgiving vacation. I brought a gift for my boss from ESPNZone in Atlanta. You see, after that gift, he couldn't fire me. That would be unkosher. Funny how things work out. I'm safe once again....for now.

Coming from 65 degree weather in Atlanta, to 25 degrees and a foot of snow is soooooo not funny. I am so glad this is my last winter here. Hmm...first, I could barely get my car out of the drifted over parking lot at work. Next, there is over 18" drifts in the driveway which I tried to blow out. I only got halfway done. Then, the furnace went out. So I had to call the grumpy repairman who was here from 12:15-12:45am....and he didn't even take off his boots. At least I am warm now.

I have been up since yesterday morning at 8:30. I was in the car from 5pm yesterday until 4pm today. I am tired. Time for bed. Hmm..Did I mention that I was wearing a t-shirt yesterday, and today I am wearing my winter jacket? Bah! Minnesota!

I had four original Krispy Kreme's from the original Atlanta location this morning. Hot. Fresh off the conveyor. Eat your heart out Patrick.

We made it safely. I got to drive from 5am to 8am. Yuck. Yesterday we went to some big Chrismas tree lighting in downtown Atlanta. Edwin McCain and John Berry showed up and played for free!! That was cool. Oh yeah, the leg-kickin' Radio City Rockette's were there too. Cool. Plus, they broadcast the whole thing live on TV...wooo!! Ok, but I wasn't on TV, so who cares.

I leave for Atlanta tomorrow at noon. We are driving. Talk to you later.

It was funny. My friend Andy and I were eating lunch in Atwood today, and some girl stuck her lasagna in the microwave by us. The thing is, it was in a tin tray. Fire!! She quickly opened the door, pulled it out, the napkin the had covering it fell on her shoe, and she couldn't get it out. Finally, Andy helped her stomp it out. But man, how dumb is this girl! The number one rule of microwave ovens: No metal objects!!!!

May the LORD be with you Larry Norman.

And what's with this spam I get in my email box which says that when I unsubscribe it will take 3-5 business days to process. It's the Internet. Get an auto-reply-unsubscribe-me-from-the-list-bot.

So me and a friend were out driving tonight, and I thought it was funny that the Post Office sign was broken. It read "Un Post Office." I thought it was hilarious. Patrick didn't laugh.

This is the best Mandy Moore picture yet!! I know, you think it can't get any better, but just look!!!

With the help of a Internet friend, I have learned that indeed Saint Cloud, MN is the hotbed of the U.S.A. We have four record high's of 98 degrees or greater, Miami, FL only has two. Also, St. Cloud's record high's are higher than Miami's. Life has just handed me lemons. Do I make lemonade? No, but I do reconsider retiring in Florida.

I was watching Dismissed on MTV tonight. It was a Caucasian male and an African-American male duking it out over a Caucasian female. Do I have to tell you who won? Apparently the Affirmative Action laws don't apply to reality tv. Not that I care.

Yesterday was my neice's baptism. I ate a TON. I was full. I kept on eating. I ate some more. I drank some Cola (4x). I was merry. Tomorrow when I go to work I weigh in. I will post the results momentarily.

I finally got a shout-out on someone else's blog!! Surreal I tell you. It's funny cause this fella works at the same place as me, but I have never met him and I don't think I have ever seen him. Although a couple times I thought I did, but who knows. There's this guy who comes into the break room to buy a Mountain Dew in the late afternoon every so often, and I sometimes think it is him, but I have no clue. haha. Just for the record, his website is much nicer than mine and more professional looking. I should have someone design something nice for me.

Sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing between reality and big fat hoaxes? Is this for real?

I have two rants. First of all, my thumb is ow aching ow right ow where I ow press down on the OW spacebar. Secondly, I find it ironic how I have floss stuck in between my teeth. Hmmm....

I was gonna post something but I forgot what it was. Stop back in a day or two.

Even though I wanted the Yanks to win, I gotta tip my hat top the Diamondbacks. What a great World Series. I will always remember it. If you missed the series, shame on you. You will have to borrow this from me sometime.

This is the most insane World Series I have ever witnessed in my life. No, no. Let's make that the most insane championship series in ALL OF SPORTS that I have ever witnessed in my life. Bring on Game Seven!!!!

I am pretty sure I don't want to go through the hassel of re-formatting all of my archives to my new template. I guess you will have to deal with it. In time there will be plenty more pearls of wisdom for you to draw upon.

My favorite pastime is........tracking my FedEx packages. I ordered a VCD from Maylasia. It shipped Wednesday, arrived in Anchorage, Alaska last night, and was on my doorstep when I got home from class at 11am. Wow. The world really is on time.

I'm not sure how to get those March posts to go away down there. Oh well...Also, I have found all my old archives, so I will post those in the coming days. Hopefully things will run smoothly while I am doing all of this :)

Okay I am trying to revert back to Blogger to update my webpage here. Hopefully it will lead to more posting because of ease of use. I am gonna be testing it this weekend and stuff. Please be patient.

How humiliating it must be to have to call your friend from make-out point to come help you get your car un-stuck from a snowbank. It's okay Andy.

I scanned the pictures from the LaRue show...they are gooooood. Go here. I e-mailed LaRue too, hopefully one or both of them will stop by and sign my Guestbook, that would be fun :)

Tomorrow we are heading back to Minnesota baby. Not without stopping here though.

"Looks like a bunch of dongs." She says.

You think one knackwurst will make your stomach churn, try two of 'em. Holy crap.

I was at the University of Georgia today in Athens. Dang. They know how to grow 'em here in the South. It was a good day. Plus I rode in a fully restored 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. I love America.

I just came in from outside. I was outside for two hours. I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt. You are not.

I am leaving for Atlanta tomorrow for a week so I won't be around my friends. That is, unless my uncle has internet access, which I am not sure of. If he does, I shall post. Post, I shall.

I just got home from the long long trip to Waterloo, Iowa. Wow. The show was definately worth it. I will post the pictures from it in a couple of weeks...I think I have outdone myself. Seriously. Anyways, I was talking with the LaRue kiddies and they thought it was awesome how we drove so far to be there and junk...Actually, when the emcee started the festivities he was like "...we actually have people he from as far as SAINT CLOUD, MINNESOTA..." and I stood up and was like "Yeah baby!!" and he's like "I guess they made it!" So that was cool, and we were in the front row too. Okay so anyways. I have decided pretty for sure that I am going to go to Belmont University. It was confirmed again tonight. And I am gonna visit the school next Friday hopefully, so that will either put the nail in the coffin or burn the biscuits...we'll see. I am going to bed...look at what time I posted this at, people.

WHOA! CCM Magazine has rated Larry Norman's "Only Visiting This Planet" as the #2 Christian album of all time!!! Rock on! I would like to give a shout out to Larry. Way to go!

Flirt to convert.

Hey peeps. I have been really busy this week. No time to update things. I am going to see LaRue again tomorrow in Waterloo, Iowa! Yay me!

Okay this is the format I originally wanted. Test. I repeat. Test. Thanks blogger.com!
