Guilty as charged

I have not been blogging much lately. I know that I told a lot of you that I would do more, but I clearly haven't, so sorry about that.

Starting with the new year we have had a run of what most would call bad luck, I call it unfortunate unlikely intertwining of less than desirable circumstances.

Ok I call it Bad luck, so sue me.

Katie Recently had an emergency root canal, and today is gonna get that tooth filled. We boys are gonna stay home and wish we had our bathroom back.
What happened to our bathroom? it's gone. The Land lord came in and tore it out trying to find a really bad leak and by really bad leak, I mean it was flooding the entire house. Fun all around. The water damage is extensive, but we found it, and we can begin clean up. Just as soon as they get the sink and wall back in place, oh and the shower wall.

Fun.....

on a totally unrelated note. I got to talk to Kindy last night. I love it when she calls. We talked for a couple of hours, but it did get a bit late.

Now on an even more unrelated note, I have arbitrarily decided this is the best villain theme song ever. Not many villains get them, but this one is the best I've heard. If you want to know my reasoning, I could come up with a leangthy explanation, but it would boil down to: "Because I like it."

CHristmas eve

Tonight we go watching the lights, and do our thinking. today we break into the sweets, and eat pie. today play games, and have fun.

In many ways I enjoy this day more than Christmas, because with Christmas there is a little bit of it all being over. This day we spend time together, and have fun. Tomorrow we break into the presents, and try and figure out WHAT some of each other's gifts are. Both are fun, both are exciting in their own way.

So here are some tunes.

Narnia

Well today is the day we go to go see the movie (unless I am sick again, this post is scheduled, i will post a message if we can't make it.) So I figured I will play some Narnia tunes today.

Gearing up

It's getting closer and closer to December 25th, and as that happens everyone starts listening to more christmas music, watching christmas movies,a nd generally having a good time. Today we will be making lots of sweets, and eating the ones we have made. yum yum!

well here's a song.

more a praise than a thought

I would like to take a moment to thank our God for sending his one and only son to save a totally corrupt earth, that not only hated Him, but twisted his own words against Him. To take this world in hand and try to pull it out of the pit it dug, in stead of burying us to end this hate once and for all.

He gave up everything for only a little, He knew He would never regain the love He showed us, that not even if every heart turn back to Him could it equate to what He did. That He to every sin no matter how small, laws He wrote that we broke, and exempted us. He was the wronged, He was the victim of our fall, and yet He still shrugged it off, and saved us from our own folly.

for those still thinking

For a moment, while we are here, all is quiet. while this moment lasts, we are restful, and in this moment, we find a bit of peace. then that moment slips, gone forever, and forgotten till we long for it again. The chaos sets in, and we stress till our worlds fall apart.

We often complain these moments do not present themselves, but in all reality, it's often up to us to make them happen, and I find especially during the holiday season, people forget to make room for a peaceful moment with God. To separate themselves, and have a time away from their man-made chaos. They let their lives fall and plummet into turmoil until these peaceful moments feel like writhing struggles,that we are gasping for air so hard that we don't enjoy what little we get.

SO to those still thinking, to those who not consumed by chaos, is it not sickly ironic, that a holiday to worship our Saviour, would separate so many spiritually?

just a thought

In a moment, and in a year, we are useless. Every motion we make at first seems insignificant. But one small act can spur a larger one. as one could fight with one person, this could lead to a chain of anger until someone physically gets hurt.

But also, someone who merely raises their family right, and teaches them in a Godly manner, they could raise a great leader, a tool for God, or maybe their grandchild could be the influence to someone truly meant for greatness. Even if it is far down the line, it could make a huge change.

And there is a point to this, God calls us to give our entire lives over. To totally and completely worship and follow him. To obey him, and to do all for him. To do this, even if we ourselves do not make a change in this world, could one day have a dramatic effect on many lives in the future.

it's just a thought.

How thoughtless

well it's today, and with every new today comes with a new thought!......

I don't have any.

...

This could be bad. 

 um

help anyone?

Ok Kevin here filling in for the thoughtless Adam. And I'm gonna show you all a great Christmas tune.

Um Kevin, we need a thought, today's Christmas tune is little Drummer boy.

Right, ok, well I have a suggestion. Don't shop for Christmas presents on Christmas day. Last year I tried that with disastrous results. All of my family members got pocket lint last year. 

back you you Adam

Thank you Kevin for that..... lovely insight. You can be rest assured that most people will heed your warnings.

Ok people, now for your songs. Last year I covered The Little Drummer boy renditions by Jars of Clay, and White Heart. this year I have a new one, and one I personally hate to share with you.

First the new one

Now vote for your favorite!

Thinking that I'm not thinking

Today I am gonna discuss Christmas rap. when most people think of christmas, they don't think rap.

That would be because there arn't a whole lot of rap renditions of christmas tunes.

oh that and for some reason most Christmas tunes don't sound good as rap. don't ask me why, it just seems to be a quirk. So today we are gonna listen to some by TobyMac and DC Talk. Some great, and some really really bad.

The Bad


Yo ho ho.
This song is plain annoying, the consolation prize is the song that comes after it. Reason for the Season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOvGy1TDlA&feature=related





Next on our bad list will make your ears bleed. It is single handedly the WORST rap rendition ever.
O come all ye faithful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTc1dKNdgo

The Toss Up


Most people love love this tune, and while I admit it's decent, I hate it for throwing in and butchering a Christmas tune I love. Joy to the world

The song is This Christmas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX876kp0jBQ





The Good


Finally the obscure DC talk song. We three kings.

So, now we know why Rap Christmas is not a growing trend. and probably never will be. still, for those who enjoy their Rap, I have pasted these songs for you to enjoy.

Something like a thought, and probably is a thought, and I shall be stubborn and call it a thought

You might have noticed I generally like harder remakes of classic Christmas songs, well this is one exception. I consider this to be one of the most beautiful renditions of any Christmas song ever done.

Today I do not have much to say, but tomorrow I shall work on talking about one of our traditions.

but I shall leave you with this tidbit of wisdom

Toddlers are impatient, this is something we learned about 5 years ago when our brother Hulk unwrapped HALF the presents and strew them out everywhere, ironically he did NOT open any of his own.
Now days we put most stuff in bags, wrapping paper is only used when it's really needed.

Tell me what you're thinking

You people are so demanding this time of year. So now I pose the question on you, what is your thought of the day? What are you thinking about this Christmas, be it silly, boring, or important, please do tell.




Bonus: What is that on his ballcap?

Adam's thought of the day

I hope you all enjoyed Kindy's stuff, but now I'm back, so let's see.....

"DO not soak your weasel is tomato paste" That to me would be a good bit of wisdom. I mean who wants to risk getting bitten by a weasel anyway? And tomato paste will just make them look red and weird. and eventually they will begin to rot, and who likes the smell of rotten tomatoes?

No no, Don't soak your weasels in tomato paste.

Ok, I have been informed I need to give something related to the holiday season.

Hmmmmmmm

I KNOW! "Momma thinks that Santa's elves are enslaved by Santa to do whatever he wants, and are cheap labor." I'm inclined to agree, so here's a question, why aren't we starting wars on the north pole to free the elves? I blame greedy consumerism. People will take anything if they think it will come to them free of charge.

I say we free the elves!

A stand in

Occasionally when you love someone, you have to do some work for them, and that's what I'm doing here today.

This is Kindy's Song of the day, and I have to come up with the thought of the day.

Ok how about this, plan out everything ahead of time. Don't just fly by the seat of your pants, and hope that everything goes smoothly; I promise you it won't.

Here's Kindy's song pick for the day: How Many Kings




on a side note, I'm disappointed in you my blog readers, I want to see more comments.

Patridges and pears... ^_^

O.o I do wonder myself....why would someone give their true love a Partridge in a Pear tree??? I better not ever get a pear tree...I hate pears :P

You know what I also wonder? I also wonder, why someone would need golden rings? and why would someone need 9 lords leaping??? What, is this person royalty or something??? This whole song reminds me of girfts a prince would give to a princess who was going to be his future bride, which, an all reality, I find ludicrous. I'll take a hug over all of it, a simple, hug. That's not too much to ask for is it????

I've aslo, always found this song to be...well, really silly. Nonetheless, I always find myself singing it or humming it, or singing along with it when it plays on the radio. I do know something else! I like Relient K's version of it the best! so..here it tis!.

Christmas is soon! check out the countdown on our sidebar ;) see ya'll later! Merry christmas!!!! (early that is) *grins*

Angel out!

Katie's Birthday

So far, I have never found a good pickled candy bar. Not that I've found any Pickled candy bars, but hey, who knows?

Actually I'm gonna say that today's Katie Birthday, so Happy birthday sis! may you not be too annoyed by your overly enthusiastic friends!

The Christmas Event

It's the Christmas season! And this is my big Christmas event! So wonderful out, and the lights are beginning to go up everywhere. *Sighs Happily* This is my first Christmas with my girlfriend Kinderline, so this is going to be interesting.

She and I are both gonna bring you our Christmas memories, favorite Christmas songs, Thoughts for the day, and pictures of our holiday fun. To say this won't be fun would be an outright lie.

So, to kick it off right, David Meece in Almost Christmastime.
