Toy Story 3 Trailer

I'm pumped!

Titletown 2009??

So the Steelers (of course) won the Superbowl this year, and the Penguins just won the Stanley Cup. That means the pressure is on for the Pirates! Most people think I'm crazy for even thinking that the Pirates have a shot of winning it all this year...and maybe I am...but I'm not counting them out yet. Right now, their record is 30-33, but they are only 4 games back in the NL Central. And the team is actually looking really good right now...the starting pitching and offense is finally good and able to contend.

Maybe I'm an idiot saying the Pirates can win the world series this year since they haven't even had a winning record since 1992, but crazier things have happened. Pittsburgh sports teams are just that good. Deal with it!

New Laptop

If you've read my blog before, you'll know that my laptop broke. Well, I finally ordered a new one. I debated for awhile between a Mac or a Dell and had pretty much decided on a Mac. But I ended up buying a Dell Studio 17inch ...on woot.com (thanks Jim). They had a sweet deal on a Dell laptop on there that I couldn't pass up. It's a beast of a laptop and was only 500 bucks! It's not exactly what I wanted, and is kinda huge, but it'll get the job done...and it was about $1500-2000 less than I was planning on spending...awesomeness

Jars live on Air1

This is a Jars of Clay video from when they performed live on Air1. I think it's pretty sweet. It made me think that Jars should release some kind of acoustic/b-side cd...cause that would be awesome! Check it out...

My laptop broke

My laptop broke. The screen basically fell off because the left hinge broke, which caused the metal frame that the hinge was screwed into to snap off...then that caused the right hinge to snap off of the metal frame as well. Right now, a couple small wires are the only thing holding my screen in place. It's kinda a bummer.

I'm afraid to ask, but I'm gonna anyhow...I can't decide between a PC and a Mac for my replacement. I've always been a PC guy, but everyone tells me I should get a Mac...I'm not sold yet though. I can get a much more powerful PC for less money than a Mac...

So why should I get a Mac??

Internship

I've had an internship at Fox Valley Christian Church in Batavia, IL over the past school year. I work with the student ministry, mainly in charge of leading worship. Yesterday was my last Sunday working there for the year, and as much as I'm looking forward to summer and getting home, I'm gonna miss working out there. I gotta thank Jim (the student minister - you can check out his blog) for letting me work with him and crash at his place on Sundays...he's really taught me a lot and I've had a good time working with him.

I didn't know what to expect at the beginning of the year when I started the internship. I felt like I was in the right place with everything working out with Trinity Christian College and then the internship, but I was kinda nervous because I had never really led worship by myself before. I've played in worship bands for awhile, but never by myself...especially singing. There were some ups and downs, but I think overall things went really well for my first year. I've still got a lot of stuff to learn, but I really looking forward to getting back at it in the fall. Can't wait to see what God's got in store for next year...

BMW Billboard

I saw this on fail blog...

I found it quite amusing...if you can't read it, the small billboard is for Audi...it says "Your move, BMW"

I love BMW...
