Riddle

In the Three Stooges short Some More Of Samoa, there is a line where Curly says: "Beat me, Daddy, down to the floor."

Word.

Something I didn't blog about.

A few months ago the IRC channel I would frequent broke up.
With tempers and egos flaring, it all changed forever. All due to a prank/attack on a channel operator's website.
I took this as my cue to leave. I figured I would never go back.
I haven't.

Now this may sound like nothing special, but these are people I have been talking to, usually on a daily basis; on and off for the last 6 years or so.

It was a very hard thing to leave. But I have. And I haven't gone back.
And I'm still decided that I won't.
I never posted a blog about it. I only did now because I was reminded about how bored I am when I'm up, and online, and there's nobody to talk to.

Dog

It's been rainy for two days, and Ralph has been wet and smelly.
I refused to let him in my bedroom to sleep last night. Same thing tonight.
I feel bad for him, but he's way too smelly to handle.
This has got to be a record. Poor dog probably thinks he's not loved anymore.
OH WELL!

Posture Update

I'm still correcting my posture.

Minor event

I met with some friends of mine at the bar and one of them starts having a burning sensation in her throat during a dart game. She's sitting down drinking water, I come over to ask her what's wrong. I offer to pray and she says, "Yeah, that'll help."
Can't say I blame her. I said something like, "yeah, well, you never know."
I'd really like if God would answer my prayers for healing with an immediate "Yes" more.
I should probably read another Bill Johnson book.

Nothing important

I'm making a conscious effort to correct my posture.

Og Mandino

I just read The Greatest Salesman In The World.
I watched a Matthew McConaughey interview by Barbara Walters tonight and he said that book changed his life. They even held up a copy on camera.
And more importantly, Greg, a previous pastor of mine mailed me a half dozen books by Og Mandino, and recommended that I read them.

I started on one, but never finished..
But this was the celebrity endorsement that tipped the scales.
I went to the bookstore at 10:30pm and read this book in one sitting.
It's good stuff. I'll be reading it over the next few months so I can remember it.

Perhaps this will help me to break out of my pattern of.... underachievment and defeat
