I thought this was a funny paradox.

I beat the peg game @ Cracker Barrel...first time ever!

This morning, I officially joined the Cult of Mac. I was the winning bidder of an eBay auction of an Apple iBook G4. It has Mac OS 10.4 Tiger, 14" screen, 40GB hard drive, 256 MB RAM (I am already planning to upgrade to at least 512 MB), and DVD/CD-RW.

I have wanted an Apple for a long time, so I am mega-hyped. I cannot wait until it arrives. Whooo-hoooo!!!! There is an Apple retail store in Germantown, and I think it is my new favorite hangout. LOL. Michelle and I stopped in on our way home from church Sunday, and it was really cool.

The only bad thing about being a Mac owner is that I will lose my younger brother's free tech support. Oh wait...maybe since my iBook does not run windows, I WON'T NEED TECH SUPPORT!! Just maybe, anyway. LOL.

I am also expecting a package of cds and other stuff today, so I waiting impatiently for the UPS driver to show up. That will be cool.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Peace...

I just set up my blog where I can send cam-phone pics to it. This is way cool. For the first picture, I decided to send an old friend from Clarksville.

Peace...

Our favorite friend @ dunbar cave

I found a piece of video, showing Eric Clapton and John Mayer performing together on Larry King. They performed Clapton's song "Broken Hearted", which he wrote while grieving the loss of his son. He wrote "Tears in Heaven" and "Father's Eyes" at the same time. Here are the lyrics if you would like to follow along.

I hope everyone is doing great. Peace...

OK, we got our wedding pictures, so I thought I would share a few of them. Michelle also posted some on her blog.

Classes are going great, with the exception of me having some trouble in Spanish. I think the trouble is that I have not been working hard enough, so I will pick it up a notch or two. My philosophy classes are great, one of which is quickly getting intense. My Jewish Thought class is also really intense; it is my most difficult class. I need to be coming up with a paper topic soon for that class.

My football season has been great so far. I had a JV game last week, and two supervisors were there. My whole crew got a real good evaluation, so that bodes well for all of us. I basically work with the same crew all the time, and I really like the guys. So, that is a plus.

I have games this Saturday morning, then Michelle and I are going to meet her parents somewhere so they can give us a couch. I am not sure where we are going to meet, but I know I won't feel like driving too far. Hopefully, we can meet half-way somewhere.

I am going to BBQ some ribs this afternoon. I am excited. I have really fallen in love with BBQ-ing and grilling. Mmm-good.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Peace.

In one of my philosophy classes today, we talked about Pythagoras, who as you might know, brought us the Pythagorean theorem. What interested me is that he states that 10 is the very nature of number. I remember when I was about 9 or so, I realized that adding 1+2+3+4=10, and I thought that must mean something. Of course, I never went anywhere with the idea, but it intrigued me. Hmm.

While I was writing that paragraph, we realized our fish had died. *tears* There is much sadness in the house now. Boo-hoo. Luca now sleeps with the fishes permanently.

I have a meeting for work (job #3) in a few minutes, so I must go. I quit job #2 earlier today. Tomorrow is my last day there.

Peace...

Howdy!!

I have been meaning to post for a while now, but things have been insanely busy, so...

The wedding was indescribable. About the only thing I remember was when I was up front, and after the attendants had gotten into their positions, I saw Michelle and her dad come around the corner. They stood there for a few seconds, waiting for the wedding march to start before coming up front. It was the most surreal moment of my life.

We enjoyed the honeymoon a great deal. We mainly just relaxed, reading and doing some light sight-seeing.

When we got back from the honeymoon, we began the move to Memphis. We loaded up the truck, and headed down the road. We have been in our new place for several weeks now, and we really like it.

We quickly found employment, so we were glad of that. Michelle got a nanny job about 10 minutes from home, and she really likes the family. I am actually working 3 jobs!! I got a job at the campus recreation center, working in the weight room. It is incredibly boring, because I don't really do anything. I just do the best I can do at trying to find things to do, to stave off the boredom. My other campus job starts this Tuesday. I will be working in the Annual Giving campaign, which consists of call alumni and asking them to make donations. This job pays a little better than the rec center job, so I am liking that.

I am also refereeing football, of course. Since I am new in the association here, I was not expecting to get many games. However, I have got a really good schedule this year, so that is really nice. I had a game last night, and I also have a game tonight. Many schools here do not have their own fields, so they use city municipal fields. So, we have high school football on Saturdays.

We have not found a church home here; we are still looking around. We are visiting a church tomorrow that we heard about from one of Michelle's classmates.

My class schedule is not too bad this semester; it could certainly be harder. Things are still going to be tough, because I am working too much. So, I am just going to do the best I can. I have 2 philosophy classes, 1 class in the Judaic Studies program, and Spanish. The Judaic Studies program is sponsoring a trip to Israel over spring break, and Michelle and I are both signed up. We are really looking forward to it. I am sure it will be something that we will always remember.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will post again soon. Peace...
