Ok, so I watched the AMA’s alone at night the other night on my DVR and since I was alone I thought I’d share my opinions. I was lonely that night I guess! 
- Jimmy Kimmel is funnier than I thought *updated after whole show* ok, maybe not so much!
- Is Jamie Foxx really that arrogant and cocky?
- NKOTB - ok, confession time. My first concert ever was NKOTB in fourth grade! … Seriously… ok… stop… stop laughng!
- NKOTB - there’s something creepy about 30 yr old guys on stage singing like teenage eunuchs.
- Paris and T Pain - wow both of them are cocky - which is shinier? Paris’ dress or T’s Grillz?
- Awkward intro for Scott Weiland - “Dominant Rock Force in Rock n Roll” thought that was funny since he’s not with velvet revolver anymore or STP
- Pink. Is. AWESOME!
- I like Kanye’s speech
- Billy Ray Cyrus’ head bobbin was killin me
- Miley Cyrus - you know… I’ll admit it. I like some of the songs I’ve heard from her. Haven’t heard too much though
- Coldplay - wonder if Chris had one of those transmitters where the light follows him around because the spot was coming from above and when he laid down (fell?) in the confetti the light stopped following him and I noticed 2 or 3 stage hands running over to where he was. Possibly to find the transmitter? Nope - watched it again, I was wrong. Lighting guy just messed up
- In case your following along you may notice I’m skipping country music, there’s a reason for that. I agree with Tony!
- Didn’t know Mariah had broken so many records. She looks akward/scared on stage. Is the fan getting on her nerves?
- Mia got excited about the Jonas Brothers
- Wow Jonas Brothers won something that involved fans texting… imagine that.
- Beyonce’s performance - agree with JaySizzle! Also thought it was better with JT and Andy from SNL. (can’t find clip)
- Pussycat Dolls - is that one chick the only one that can sing?
- Had no idea Annie Lennox was so active in helping people. I like that JT pointed out it was done silently and most don’t know about it - she’s hopefully doing it for the right reasons
- Sarah McLachlan and Pink was awesome. Pretty cool for Pink to get to sing with her and show how awesome her voice is and not just some punk rock talentless chick.
- Is Chris Brown trying to bring back members only jackets? I hope not.
- WHOAA big fail on Queen Latifah’s microphone being off
Thanks for watching the AMA’s with me and keeping me company!
My friend justin sent me some pics of the snow they had in Virginia so I thought I would post them on here. Also this is my first post from my iPhone, I received the pics on my phone from email so I thought I would try this.
I’m not sure my fragile blogger ego can handle knowing all the people that quit me on twitter. Isn’t ingnorance bliss? My own best man in my wedding stopped following me.
So Josh, what’s up man? you can talk about your kids and when they have soccer games but I can’t post a pic of my daughter for my family who lives 1,000 miles away? Or maybe it’s because I don’t refer to my kids as numbers?
Actually since you can’t hear my sarcastic voice - I’m joking around. Josh I like the idea of numbers for kids - works great for twitter especially if you have as many kids as you do. :) Maybe you’ll follow me again one day Josh and Greg. Until then, I’m still gonna archive my life for myself if for no one else.
Don’t ya just hate it when you make stupid mistakes. I tried to put Matt Cassel in because he had a higher estimated points than Trent Edwards but I forgot he was playing on Thursday night and didn’t try to get him in the game until it had already started. Oh well! Notice my bench has more points than my active players. FAIL
At the end of Craig’s Message he read this prayer and it was awesome! This is only part of it, I found it here.
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
Watching internet campus as I type this! Just some thoughts, observations.
- Welcome video from Internet Campus Pastor - said time to take offering and a paypal link popped up on the right.
- At the movies is series
- Awesome scenes for Craig - switching in and out of movie and sermon.
- Scripture background is something from scene Craig is in! Awesome
- Foley while Craig is talking, cars, buses, streets. same as movie
- Touching message, touching movie
- Interactivity - raise hand if your hurting click button that says raise your hand
- Raise hand for accepting Christ - would like to raise my hand to see about follow up, but did not
- oh, I get it anyways, they told me right after the prayer what to do! NICE!
- Liked the podcast - esq video about Will Smith - curious if that was for internet campus only because of the “internet savvy” audience
- One suggestion - provide a place to meet people who want to meet people. I could invite friends from email, but no way to see who was there and connect with those people.
- ok, now that service is over I went to lobby and saw the chatroom. Just saw you could add friends. curious if you could whisper thoughts to friends during sermon like you can in a “brick and mortar” church.
Pretty Awesome! I will do my best to start watching on a weekly basis. Great place for me to get fed as a minister who is always “busy” during church services! Thank you LifeChurch and the digerati crew!
p.s.
Love that you use facebook - very powerful tool! Also terry storch, keep sending out twitters as reminders about internet campus so I won’t forget Or does the internet campus have a twitter account?
Ok. I always watch MTV Movie and Music Awards. It’s a great place to see awesome technology and to stay up to date with what is going on in culture that I may have missed. I just forced myself to finish the last half of 2008 Movie Awards and I wish I could have that time back. Seriously. I want it back.
Basically all they did was take anyone who is coming out with a movie soon and pair them together to present awards. Boring. Mike Meyers opening video was right. It was all about shameless plugs. No awesome videos, no awesome live skits. Even the bands sucked, except for Coldplay doing Viva La Vida.
Curious as to everyone else’s thoughts. Any other die hard MTV Movie and Music Award fans out there bored with this years program?
So I was letting the kids play the other day @ the Truth Building and all of a sudden Tyra starts screaming and comes running towards me. I lift her up and hold her to tight to my chest and she immediately stops crying.
I just thought it’s funny how that happens. Whether small or large “boo-boo’s” the pain lessens when my kids are in my arms.
Just reminded me of how our Father is with us. When we hurt he wants to hold us and let us know He is there and that he cares and hurts with us.
When’s the last time you let your Heavenly Father hold you?
Can you name this song that he is singing backwards?
Yesterday’s Staff meeting made me think about something.
What do I take for granted. I realized in staff that I sometimes take prayer for granted. I ask things and forget to think about them and sometimes I ask with doubt that it will happen without believing God will do it. So I started thinking about what else I take for granted.
- Prayer - I pray a lot, but need to change my focus more often
- Holy Spirit - If I was aware of him every second of my life, what more could I accomplish?
- Wife (who is amazing)
- Kids (I know everyone says this, but I really do have the coolest kids in the world)
- Mom and Grandparents - they have always been there for me and my family
- My job - I have the greatest job in the world
- Wealth - this one’s kind of funny, because we are no where near rich according to most standards. But I don’t know many people my age with a house and all our stuff. Plus not to mention wealth of the other type (family, love, grace, etc)
Read this great blog just now and this line really stuck out to me.
…the thing that bothers me is that when people think they are deep because they know a lot of information and they are able to confuse others about Christ rather than lead them to Him.
Man I got a ton of that @ school. All the stupid arrogant people that think they know it all, and all they do is push people further away from understanding Christ.
Give me Jesus Christ, crucified, risen and who will one day return…not another Bible study on the weight of the Ark of the Covenant.
Just read that line and had to add it in!
I am on vacation this week. It started Thursday evening and I’ll go back to work on Sunday the 28th. There is lots to do around the house. Alisha has a long list of stuff for me to do including, but not limited to: paint the shutters, clean out vehicles, help clean/organize the kids playroom, super clean the house, etc.
I have some goals of my own. Mine are way better though!
- Learn CSSedit
- Finish youth website (technically that’s work, but I enjoy it and it kind of goes along with learning CSSedit)
- Create space on my Macbook Pro (down to 1 GB)
- Clean Home Office
- Finish the Fight on Legendary and achieve rank of 20 (hopefully 30)
- See a movie w/ the kids (not sure what’s out)
- Create something cool in After Effects (it’s been too long)
- Play some Madden 08 and finish a superstar season
- Have a play day with my Uncle. 2-3 times a year we get together and just hang out and play whatever console we happen to have at the time. We will probably play madden 08 and I would like to rent a wrestling game for the 360.
