There’s this crazy little game called Smash Brothers.  It’s absolutely amazing, hilarious, and fun to play.  Brawl (the newest version) is coming out next week.  So gearing up for it, here is a commercial for the original Smash Bros. game.

Enjoy!

Just a quick snippet.  I’ll be heading down to Florida on March 17, and I will be there for about two months.

Also, in regards to the neck and back pain, it appears that my right shoulder blade is out of place and causing all sorts of mayhem.  We’re working on getting that fixed.  Keep praying though, we’re making (what appears to be) good progress!

Some of you are aware that I’ve been considering getting a different job.  Some of you are aware that I’ve done some interviewing and all that fun stuff.  And some of you are aware that there’s this little company in Florida that has been trying to hire me for a while.  Well, they sweetened the deal, letting me work remotely from Indy.  So I’ve accepted a position with the company.  I will be in Florida by March 17, and will be there for a month or two for training.  Then I’ll be back in Indy to work remotely with another guy, and we’ll be working out of a small office.

Sometimes it’s amazing where God will take you in life, isn’t it?  It’s pretty crazy, but I’m excited!

Before I left my parent’s house this weekend, Dad showed me his newest toy: a four-wheeler.  It is pretty sweet.  He let me drive it around.  So I took off, tearing around the fields.  Then I headed for the woods north of us.  I drove around in them for a little while before coming back down.  Then I headed to the woods south of us and cruised around in those woods, stopping by the pond for a little while.

It was very strange zipping around the places that I had spent so much time as a child.  Nostalgia swept over me as I drove in the woods, remembering how Grandma used to walk with us back there and watch us play.  The different times I had gone in those woods came over me, and it was sad to know that those times had passed.  But it was also good to remember those times, and be refreshed by the joy of those memories.

Life changes so quickly.  Sometimes it seems like things are dragging on, but when you sit down and look at it, life passes much faster than we realize.  So my takeaway is this: don’t be discouraged when things seem to be taking too long.  It will change sooner than you can imagine.  And the flip side is don’t take things for granted, they’ll pass sooner than you know.

Ah life, how weird you are…

So I am sitting at my parent’s computer back in B-Town (read: Bremen).  I got in late last night after spending some time celebrating a good friend’s birthday *cough* Marcus *cough*.  Then I drove through some terrible weather, had a nice phone chat on the way with a new friend, met my good friend Zac in Warsaw with another friend Matt, and Zac’s new girlfriend (who, by the by, is super cool).

Today Kenan, Zac and I had breakfast at the Pancake House in Bremen.  Then we went and got fitted for tuxes to wear to Kenan’s wedding.  Then Zac and I went back to his house where John (Knez) met up with us.  We watched the movie The Invasion which was similar to a modern rendition of The Body Snatchers.  It was an entertaining movie, and I would recommend it to most people.  Not exactly stellar, but it was fun.  Then I hung out with a friend from high school and met up with Zac and his girlfriend for a bit.  Now I’m back at my parent’s house with the cats running around demanding my attention while I ignore them and add my blog entry.

Here’s some Calvin and Hobbes humor.  I think it fits me perfectly:
