I broke my nose in a dunk tank

Seriously last Wednesday I broke my nose in a dunk tank. I am feeling to lazy to write the whole story right now. But just know that as of Wednesday my nose resembles that of a kleon from the hit show star trek…what is my deal?

I almost killed Bruce Bowen


I will make this short. This last Sunday, Student Ministries was having its annual golf benefit. I was in charge of doing most anything that involved moving stuff and setting things up. Anyhoo, in between the second and third service I was carrying this huge metal sign holder down to my truck from the office. To get to my truck I had to walk down a flight of stairs. I picked a really bad time to be transporting this thing because the time inbetween these two services has more people using the stairs than ever. There is a sharp turn in the stiars and I guess I took the turn a bit quickly because as I made the turn I almost stab a man in the face with the end of the sign holder. I felt like a tool and yelled out, "Oup, My Bad!" And then as I passed this individual I realized that the man I had almost stabbed was none other than Bruce Bowen. I then got real choked up and just stared at him and thought about peeing my pants. Then he walked out of my life forever, with out knowing how close I came killing him.

But seriously what if I had killed him? I would have been the most hated man in San Antonio. Anyway I tried to find a picture of Bruces expression that he made after I almost hit him...this is the closest I could find.

Its my mom's birthday

It has been a while. Today is my mom’s birthday so that is why I have decided to blog today.
My old roommate Slubbs once said, "I have decided that your first couple of years out of college are more awkward than Junior High." I have been hanging out with Junior High people all year, so I felt like I would be a good gauge of whether or not this is true.

Junior High is awkward because:
1) You have just learned how to dress yourself, and sometimes it weird.
2) Your body starts to change (pimples, new hair growth, new body growth, and voice cracking
3) You are trying to figure out how to talk to girls with out hitting them or sweating profusely.
4) You are always stinky, always.

Your first couple of years out of college are awkward because:
1) You have to relearn how to dress yourself (from your pj's to pleated pants and starched shirts)
2) Your body starts to change (Balding becomes a harsh reality, while your body hair seems to multiply daily (unless you are Native American, but even I have started to sprout a couple chest hairs)
3) Where the freak do you find a wholesome woman except the singles class at church, and the very idea of singles class is awkward. And you still sweat profusely.
4) And your workout goal is no longer to get ripped, it is just to not get fat. And most people are failing at this.

Conclusion: Your right Slubbs, both are pretty awkward times.

So I went to the Siggie Formal this past weekend with Hannah Williams…I like her. She is the new Siggie president, which makes me the new first man of Sigma Theta Chi. Wow, I’m also an old man. However, I was thankful to see that Tardy made an appearance and took away my fear of being the oldest person at the formal…thanks man.

I would like to apologies to oak hills and Jesus for wasting the last 45 minutes of the workday writing this blog that really says nothing.

Here is a picture of me and Hannah from formal, enjoy.

Kensay

Average day at the office:

I act out in a very creative and unique way like: playing guitar, or making a video, of even making an extremely funny comment on something in the office. And then the Lindsay/Kenli combo (I like to call them Kensay) stifles my uniqueness. It would be like if some one made fun of Mozart for panting the Sistine Chapel, or something jacked up like that.

I'm just saying that I'm pretty special and the Kensay just refuses to accept that.

Seriously what would Jesus do?

I went and got a passport today and my calve hurts...

Dang, I really blow at blogging. I just want to say that I love Blake "Slubbs" Pugh. Can you believe that people in Huston call him Blake! I can even fathom it. Ya know, just in the last couple of weeks/months I have started to see the importance of encouraging people. It is crazy, it takes like 30 seconds out of your day and the people you are encouraging will remember it for a long time. So that is what I plan to do with this blog.

Encouragements from Austin, 642 addition.
Andy Zimmerman is one of the most sincere Christians I have ever been in contact with. And on top of that he is one of the greatest people I have seen with high school kids, and he's funny balls
Slubbs is one of the most loyal people I could ever be around, and if you ever want to feel loved by someone just spend like 5 minutes with slubbs. And he is funny, extremely good looking, and will always be Mr. ACU in my mind.
Purser is the most consistent person I know. And totally like the easiest person to talk to and be around, he is like a people magnet. We used to fight early on in 642 but it is just because I am a total looser. He can also be credited for my recent love for county music.
Chad "Kuchow" Huston is the most loyal person I have ever been in the presence of. And more than any body I know is so real with his life, and like slubbs, is just amazing at loving people. And he's funny balls.

The Austin Lawrence word for the week is "GUSTO"

In a sentence, "Andy peed in the furnace with GUSTO."

Sorry if you were looking for something funnier, this is how I've chosen to roll today.

Rudolf the red nosed raccoon

We made a video this week called "Will it Bounce Christmas Edition". I find that it is really hard to try to keep toping yourself week after week. The concept of will it bounce is that we throw things off this balcony at the church to see if it bounces. So for Christmas we threw some egg nog and a fruit cake, and I thought it would be funny to find a dead deer and paint its nose red (rudolf the red nosed rain deer) and see if it bounced, but I drove all over Santonyo and could not find any deers (this is supprising). But on my way to work the next day I found this raccoon in the middle of the road. I figured it was better than nothing. I thought the Santa hat helped tie the theme in a little bit.




For the record dead raccoons with Santa hats don't bounce. Happy Christmas.

More Pictures


Corporate Christmas 2005


D Rob knows me!


Ok, so I blow at keeping up with my blog. There have been many things happen in my life this last month. But ever since I got my picture with David Robinson aka: D Rob, five 0, the admiral, the biggest black dude I have ever hugged, I cant really remember anything else. So the story goes, I was at the Lucado Christmas party, Five 0 was there, I got really scared and started sweating, so my Mexican friend Toni asked D Rob if I could have my picture with him. I'm such a wiener, but now I a wiener with a sweet picture. Even though I look stoned, or thirsty or something. Look how big his shirt is, I mean, wow!
