I recently re-watched the 1974 film Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks. Oh the laughing! I had forgotten how funny this classic is. If you have never seen it, then it is a must. The casting included greats like: Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Teri Gar, and a younger Gene Hackman. If I were to try and write about the scenes of the film that were comical I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. Maybe this would have been a better audio blog posting.
What a day. I’m sitting in my car waiting to take a shower at the Popes, and tomorrow I’m off to Atlanta. Yes, to live. My days in Houston as a Worship leader and Youth Pastor are over for now, and I’m really going to miss it. Continue reading ‘Wow, What Am I Doing?’
It’s been a couple months since this happened and I debated on whether I should post it because there would be those who would distrust the validity of my story. Not because of who’s telling the story but because of whom the story’s about. Continue reading ‘The Dawg’
My brother-in-law Jonathan posted a comment earlier this week, and it got me thinking about Jack Black movies. Movie: Nacho Libre. Scene: Nacho (Jack Black) is singing a song he wrote for his secret love Encarnacion, and sings it for his wrestling partner Esqueleto. This is one of the scenes from the movie that I almost wet my pants. Hope you enjoy!
If you were wondering what should be the next book to grace your eyes, then I would strongly urge you to read, “Till We Have Faces.” “But don’t take my word for it.” Sorry, I just had to reference LeVar Burton. In no way am I associating him with Lewis, but hopefully you get the point. Continue reading ‘Ouch, My Face!!’
I was out recently with some friends in the Woodlands, Barnes & Noble looking over books I wanted, commenting on books that I had read, and having an enjoyable evening.
For those that haven’t been in the part of Texas known as the Woodlands, it’s an experience. It’s a very affluent area, and the people have an air about them that reeks of a grandiose pompousness. One whiff of you and they can tell if you are of there social class or not. Whoever said that there’s no caste system in America is full of it. You’ll see scenes ranging from a group of women walking together looking like they just got off the set of Sex in the City, to teenagers rolling up in there BMW’s, Prada flip flops, in all there chotchiness. Now that you have an idea of where I was, let me continue with the bookstore affair. Continue reading ‘The Woodlands Aristocrats Are Sporting New Kicks’
Yes our children are all special in there own ways, but looking at my child as objectively as possible I just don’t think that the average three year old says the things that mine has been saying. Several months ago Aidan and I were eating dinner and he wanted to watch Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Continue reading ‘My Child, the Genius Film Critic’
Why? I must hear it 50 times a day from my son. “Daddy why does the moon shine?” “Because” is my answer for many of his questions. I could tell him that the moon is not really shining at all, and that it’s really a reflection of light from the sun. But he would ask me the same question the very next night. Continue reading ‘The Whys and Wherefores’
Finally! The day is here and tonight we get to be Lost once again. Some of you will know what I’m talking about. If you don’t, I’m not speaking of anything spiritual. However, I hope to be born anew in the writers genius, and I’m sure I will.
