  • Roxanne
    by Sting & the Police

    Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
    Those days are over
    You don't have to sell your body to the night
    Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
    Walk the streets for money
    You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

    Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
    Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
    Put on the red light, put on the red light
    Put on the red light, put on the red light
    Put on the red light, oh

    I loved you since I knew ya
    I wouldn't talk down to ya
    I have to tell you just how I feel
    I won't share you with another boy
    I know my mind is made up
    So put away your make up
    Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

    Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
    Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
    You don't have to put on the red light
    Put on the red light, put on the red light



    This song is Amazing!  Crunch regga style guitar, creative/difficult percussion, extremely high harmonies, and sweet lyrics.  It reminds me of redemption.

  • SUPERMAN: Returns, Carpet and Family

    I know, I haven't been keeping up with my blog to well.  It's due to my wedding which is 6 weeks and 1 day away!  AWESOME!  Also work is killing me.  I've been putting 11hrs a day in at Jones, so I can pay for our honeymoon.  Which I'm still working on.  I am currently looking at going to Chicago.  We like to check out cities and their culture.  If you know of a nice (yet inexpensive) hotel or some kind of lodging in Chicago please tell me.  Also if you can think of any cool spots that we "have to visit" why we are their would be greatly appreciated.

    Now for an update.  Andrea and Cody flew in on the 4th.  Dad cooked and bought a bunch of firecrackers.  During our time together we also celebrated my Grandpa's Bday and also sealed our wedding invitations using wax and a stamper.

    On the 5th my whole family went carpet shopping with Sondra and I.  I've never felt so reassured when shopping in my life.  We had 12 ears and 6 mouths asking questions.  The Lowes and  Home Depot salesmen didn't have a chance.  I came out feeling like a carpet expert.  As you know if I don't have carpet in my bedroom, I'll have an upset bride and that is NO GOOD!  Not to mention, I'm tired of sleeping in the living room.

    Yesterday we went and saw Superman: Returns.  My opinion, was, it's average.  Nothing special, but you definitely could feel that they were paying ohmage to Christopher Reeves.  Spiderman is still by far the best comic character putting out movies right now.  I'm pumped to see 3 with Venom and Sandman.  Also one of the moves that I got for $4 was Spiderman 2.  So good!

  • Saved
    I bought four movies today.  All for less then 4 bucks a piece.  Oh ya!  Among those I bought saved because my good friend, who I won't name at this time, said he loved it because it does a good job of depicting the contradictions and quirks of modern/contemporary /evangelistic church or in this case school.  As I watched it was quite accurate how messed up a lot of the churches theology (thoughts on G-d), orthodoxy (right teaching) and praxis (active practice/living of ones faith) is.   But by the end of the movie it's a big dull thud.  The only thing they drive home (or at least try to) is that we need each other and even when we disagree we should still befriend them.  I also agree.  But it just didn't do anything for me.  I think I'm going to watch it with my friend.  Talk about it and then give it to him.  By the way, this friend is a devoted Christ Follower.  I know some people thought this was an outsider making fun of the church and I just wanted to clear that up.

  • OLD BUT NEW....


    My father was hard at work again, making my old house look like new.*  My master bedroom is nearly complete. Sondra picked out the color, red red wine.  IMG_0564
