The Ides of March

I'd love to be a radio host. I just heard from Jeff Fuller that he gets to participate in a late night sports radio program. I almost crapped with envy. I've always been, for better or worse, a commentator. My opinion comes out on way too many things. And that forum seems to be one of the only left where you get to be free with what you say. In fact most of the guys who do it are kind of jerks.(Think: Colin Cowherd, Rush Limbaugh)
I'm flipping between the college basketball sweet sixteen and my Columbus Blue Jackets throttling the Calgary Flames.(5-0 and counting)
I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and it's got to stop. Laurie and I started an eating plan and I've actually gained weight! But you know what, I'm actually happy with myself. Sure I'd love to shrink the old belly and eliminate the jiggle but if it happens agonizingly slowly I can live with that.
I've got a new job being the runner for a used car dealership. It's fun. Driving like a hundred miles a day. Learning all about Columbus. Plus it may help us land a new car at a discounted price.
Its that time of year again. When I get turned down for jobs all across the denomination for lack of experience. Well, that and my lack of preferred area of service. I just really don't know what I want to do, because I haven't done anything.
I love getting together with friends. I'm a board game junkie and I really never get to do it that much. This Saturday we're going to have pizza and then a cake party. I'm going to make Morgan Macpherson's Skor Cake. Mmmmmm.
I'm growing my hair back out. Maybe not shoulder-length, but I've determined that I enjoy my look with a shaggy do. It suits who I am inside.
I just learned from my Mom that my adopted name was Nicholas Lee Fredericksen. I like Jon better.
Positives: Emma picking out my shirts, beef tenderloin, date with the wife.
Negatives: Man boobs, shoulder pain, missing ball hockey.

Raindrops on roses....

In the spirit of Jon Stephens who does not read this blog,
These are a few of my favorite things.
"Jesus Freak" by DC talk. One of the few albums that I can say impacted me. I was just entering college and these formerly dance/hip-hop artists, who I did not like, blew Christian music up.
"The Naked Gun". Still one of the funniest movies, start to finish.
The "Bruno and Boots" books by Gordon Korman.
Hot showers on cold days.
Jeans that have been worn 5 days in a row.
The book of Romans. So many questions and conundrums.
Lots of scoring in sports.
Black and white photos.
Cadbury milk chocolate.
Making mix cds.
New Flavors from Ben and Jerry's
Listening to my daughter talk
Quilts
Rubbing the dogs heads on my lap after they've had their showers
Watching hockey games live.
Sub weeks. For the uninformed, that's when I eat tuna subs three meals a day for a week.
Fantasy football. I also hate it depending on the week.
The X-Men movies. Almost perfect.
Planning vacations.
Taking vacations.
Chicken tenders from Roosters.
My ball glove.
"Scrubs"
Catching the entire season of Lost with no repeats.
