Looks like an interesting site.

Taylor Hicks in Ten Years

Tom Toner has stealthily booked two shows in Vegas.

Movies I want to See

It seems like there are a bunch of movies I want to see. I thought I would make a list for myself. They are in no particular order.

Crash, Cinderella Man, Walk the Line, Ray, King Kong, Syriana, Good Luck and Good Night, The Aviator, The 40 Year Old Virgin, A History of Violence, ...

Well that's a start. If I had to pick one, I think I'd pick Walk the Line.

King of the Hill

Jaw Droppin

My friend John Culbertson sent me this link. It is the Christian remake of Baby Got Back called Baby Got Book. At the point the girls say, "Me so Holy"... I couldn't decide whether to laugh, cry, or be offended. I'm still not sure. But it is probably worth a look.

Some Camera Phone Posts

When I got my camera phone (and the second one after I lost the first one), I thought this would be a cool way to share some life.

This is my friend Nathaniel West, sporting his sharp Crossover T-shirt, walking to the ring to fight his first Mui-Tai martial arts contest. He lost but I thought he did very well.


This is Nathaniel's wife Lisa and my wife Danelle salivating at the hope of seeing blood at the Mui-Tai ring.


This is probably from 1985 or so. Me and Tom Toner. I love it.


This is my good friend (and "daughter") Nikki Greer waiting to buy her first nice car. I'm so proud of her!

20 Big Lies in the DaVinci Code

Here is an excellent breakdown of 20 major historical inaccuracies (my preferred title wouldn't have "big lies" in it).

Backgrounds for Worship

Resonate "members" are sharing their worship background slides. These would be good for us to use.

I'm Free!!

My TV shows are over for the season. Here is my list of season finales in order of satisfaction. I might add, before you say it, that it is sad to me that I was wrapped up in four shows.

24 finale was very satisfying. Two or three times they surprised me and Danelle both. And already, I'm ready for another season. Can't wait. This is the clear winner of finales.

American Idol surprised us with the crowning of our favorite, though not who we expected to win, Taylor Hicks. I honestly thought the finale show was incredible. I will probably watch it again before I delete it off Tivo.

West Wing finale was ok, but not terribly satisfying. It helped me to accept that it will no longer be continuing. The best part was just the showing of what happens while the new President is being inaugerated. The past President's stuff is moved out of the residence and the oval office and the new President's stuff is moved in. I think the creators meant to tie up some lose ends, but the unexpected death of John Spencer messed up where they thought they were going. And the cancellation of a planned retrospective, due to money issues, was REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

And finally Lost, which the finale told us a ton, but upon reflection, we of course, really don't know anything. Mostly I found it annoying. I really don't like to spend much time on puzzles and this is a puzzle of grand scale. I should probably not watch it next season, then buy or rent the season on DVD. I did say to my wife earlier today, "What bothers me more... that most of the statue is missing or that the foot only has four toes?" She asked me if Henry, who is always barefoot, had four toes. We may have to go back and look. But then again, I hate puzzles and I doubt there are any answers, though they want you to believe there are.

Pocket Sized Films

Films for the working man. I don't know what this is, but it looks interesting, but I don't want to look at it right now.
