Fun with Film

When I watch a movie for the first time, I like to pay attention. I like to take in the images on the screen. I like to let my brain go to town analyzing the characters and the plot and the dialogue. It's not as if I pull every film I see apart and attempt … Continue reading Fun with Film

The Explanation of Blog Posts

It's possible you've noticed that I've made it a habit of posting to this blog two or three times per day I need you to know that I'm not really creative enough to come up with that many blog posts on a consistent basis.

The Single Guy vs. the Compliments

I'm not good at compliments. I'm not good at receiving them. I'm not good at giving them. It's just not an activity that I excel in. But, really, if it doesn't involve sarcasm or singing like an angel, it's probably not something I excel in. Let's start with receiving compliments. I guess that's not something … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the Compliments

Oracle

I feel the need to give some very careful instructions regarding a classic fortune-telling device known as the Magic 8-Ball.

Interview

Not too long ago, I posted here that I would like to run for president, now that I'm legally old enough to do so. What will make me stand out in the crowd of, literally, dozens of potential candidates? All of my speeches will incorporate lines from the great movie presidents throughout the history of … Continue reading Interview

The Single Guy vs. the Pedicure

Back in July, the kids' ministry department of my church was extremely busy. Because July was when, for the first time, we put on a week long kids' day camp. The event was what most people think of when they think of Vacation Bible School. But it wasn't Vacation Bible School. It was MOVE Summer … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the Pedicure
