Pure Pleasure
I am not a dessert guy. I don’t really like crazy desserts with all kinds of ingredients. I am just plain and simple. I like plain ice cream with one topping. I don’t go for the “Cram-It-All-In” stuff. I just like simple.
KitKat Bars
I know they are basic, they aren’t new, and there is not much to them. But that is really why I like them. They melt in your mouth and yet have just enough texture to make it feel like a cookie and not a chocolate bar.
Pointless
There really isn’t a point to all this except to let the world know that I love KitKat Bars. Well now that the world knows, I can continue with my day.

I am tired of my big phone
I have a Sprint PPC6700 Smart Phone. When I first got it, I loved it. I can sync my calendar, contacts, music and more. But now only 7 months later. I have realized that this large, “Zack Morris” style phone is a bit much for me. I don’t sync my calendar anymore, I don’t use my computer to add contacts. I have an Ipod for music, and all I really need in a phone is… a phone.
Following Suit
I am not the only one ditching the PDA these days. I have found a number of other people searching for cheap phones that just simply make phone calls. I think my best bet is to find a cheap phone on ebay, order it and make the change. I can’t stand my phone anymore. Mind you I haven’t made the switch yet. But after I found out that the PDA guru, Ted Stackpole, had made the switch I couldn’t help but want to do the same.
Coming Soon
Lookout cheap phones. You will be purchased shortly. Look out Sprint PPC6700. You will be dumped soon. Some unsuspecting eBay buyer will purchase you with great hopes of being a walking calendar with thousands of contacts and instant email/internet. As for me, I just want to make a phone call.
Changes, big changes
I am never really comfortable with changes, especially big ones. I don’t think anyone is really okay with change because we never know what to expect. We don’t know what is around the corner. We are unsure of ourselves, others, our reaction, their reaction. We don’t know if we will mess up or if things will crumble around us. We don’t know if things will be better than we expected. We don’t know.
So we change
Things never remain the same. Things have to change. We long and desire for the things we understand to stay. We hope that the memories we made will be lived over and over, but that cannot be. Things change, we change.
Memories
Memories are ambigious. They are not reality. They highlight the good, overstate the bad and leave us in great awe or great shame. Memories can captivate us or control us. I failed, I messed up, I succeeded, I won, it was fun, I hated it, we laughed, we cried, she said, he said. It is all goodbye and gone. What really matters is not what was or what is, but what is becoming.
We are today what we thought and we will be what we are thinking.
So we change
Don’t be afraid, and don’t fight it, there are no escapes. We must change. We must move forward. We change.
I am at Nikki and Denny’s Wedding
They asked me to video tape the big day so I am here a bit early setting everything up. Everyone is running around and getting things together. The photographer is lining everyone up taking family photos. The moms are straightening bow ties and fixing hair. It all seems so exciting and fresh.
I thought
It never really occurred to me until after my own wedding, that I really assumed my wedding was “THE” wedding of the century. I couldn’t help but think that so many were amazed, because I found the perfect one. I still believe that.
It never fails to amaze me
I realize that God brought my wife to me. I know other men say that and I believe them too. But for me, I know how I feel. I know how she treats me, I know how she holds me at night, and I feel like God gave us something special when he put us together.
So Nikki and Denny
bI am really happy for you two today in fact I love to see what God has brought together. I know you feel so incredible and I know that you feel as though the whole world should stop to see you get married. I love that feeling. I am so happy for you. But in the end I still feel as though I am the luckiest man alive. Thank you God for bringing me my wife.
Our Song
I wrote a song to Tara that I sang to her on our honeymoon. This is how the chorus goes;
Cus I prayed for you
And the Lord came through
Every dream and desire I’ve found in you
No longer do I question
Whether my God cares for me
Cus everything I prayed for
Is staring back at me!

I’m not good at golf
Some people say that but they really don’t mean it. Any relatively good golfer will always say they are bad. it actually drives me crazy. I can’t stand to hear someone who can drive a ball a half mile say they are bad.
I am bad!
I don’t really know what I am doing. Most people tell me to aim at where I want the ball to go. The problem is no matter where I aim, it goes somewhere else every time. So when someone says they are bad, I want to take them out to the golf course and prove to them that they are in fact a good golfer.
But here is the mystery
I am terrible at golf, but I love it. Some how some way every time I play, I will have one good shot. I don’t know what I did, how I stood, or which direction I was aiming. I don’t know how it happens but every game, I have one good shot.
And it is that one shot
That one shot keeps me coming back. It keeps me wanting to play more. Reality is that I will continue to lose balls in the woods, turn my shoulders the wrong way, and pretty much stink it up. But I always have that one shot that keeps things alive.
The Mystery of Golf
The mystery is that I love it and yet I stink at it. Call me crazy but I have the time of my life running around that golf course chasing bad shots. For some reason I absolutely love it. Call me crazy I guess.
It is true but not official
We have played three official games and one scrimmage.
1. We won the first one because the team forfeited.
2. We lost the second one 15-0, ouch.
Oh and these first two games don’t count for the real season.
3. We won the third one, but we only played three innings.
4. We won the fourth one, because the same team forfeited again.
So I guess that means
We have started our season with a winning streak. The streak is only one, but at least we haven’t lost yet. I am keeping my head up in hopes that our next game won’t be a landslide loss.

I can’t believe it has been this long
Blogging seems to be a passing addiction. I seem to love it for a while and then abandon it completely. I have been abandoning it lately. But here we go back in the saddle again.
The Rock Softball
Tonight we play our first official game. We don’t have uniforms yet but we do have a team. I can’t tell you how excited I am to play. It seems as though I have been waiting for something like this for years. I played baseball as a kid but I was terrible. I was afraid of my own shadow, let alone catch a baseball. This is perfect for me now. They throw the ball under hand and everyone is out to have fun, what could be better 
I am such a dork.
Nothing to do
So if you have nothing to do and want to come out and see us play we usually do on Mondays and Wednesdays. I think we have a decent team and after all it is Just For Fun.
