I’ve owned my iPhone for a few months now, and I absolutely love it.  While the camera isn’t quite up to par with my high (read: picky, anal, etc.) standards, I love having it with me in a pinch to get photos.  Here are my favorite photos from 2009:

Kige Ramsey shows how (not) to shoot a free throw.  I truly love this guy’s videos.  Keep ‘em comin’ Kige!

I thought this was funny.

I’m still excited about the snow. A lot of people around here don’t like snow or cold, but I do. Actually, I don’t like cold without snow. But, cold with snow I’ll take. Anyhow, here’s some random blogging:

• I’m going to see Christian comedian Tim Hawkins tonight with a group from The Point. It should be fun, and I’m looking forward to it.
• I don’t think my PCG is meeting this week, due to Valentine’s Day. As much as I’ll try to get them to postpone their celebrations until Friday, I think I’ll be out-voted. Regardless, I’ll still be posting PCG notes for this week’s text on Thursday.
• The Josh Martin Band settles back into gigging with a performance this Friday. It’s a small gig for a church Valentine’s Day dinner, but a gig nonetheless. We’ve been working on a few new songs as of late, but I’m not sure we’ll play any of them just yet.
• I writing this post using ecto – a desktop blogging software. I’ve tried desktop blogging before, but ultimately went back to using Wordpress directly via the web, or ScribeFire (a Firefox plugin). It seems software like ecto has become more powerful since I last tried it (probably back in 2006 sometime). With the rising popularity of blogs, it seems desktop software has grown in features. We’ll try it for a few days to see if I like it. I’ve also tried MarsEdit, but ecto has more features that suit my tastes.
• Don’t miss the Extreme Makeover Home Edition this Sunday! It is a two-hour special, and it is the Louisville episode. If you remember, CLS was a part of this construction, as we assisted with some printed curtains and pillow cases.
• I can’t believe my parents are registered Democrats. Poor folks will have to choose between Hilary or Obama if they vote in the Primary. I would vote don’t vote in that case. Or, vote for the most beatable of the two, hope that one wins the Primary and then gets beat in November. I think they’re switching parties before the Election, finally.
• I haven’t publicly (on this blog) endorsed a candidate, yet. Maybe in the next week or so, I’ll post my choice and why I support that candidate. Not that it matters to you much – you can make up your own mind. But, it might drum up some support for my choice, or cause you to consider them for your vote.
• Thanks to everyone who, through the blog, Facebook, MySpace, phone calls, text messages and emails, wished me a happy birthday. I really appreciate it!

I thought this was pretty clever…. if you’ve got five minutes to spare, give it a look.

So… I’ve thought about blogging about pet peeves in the past and had decided against it.  However, in lieu of nothing more exciting to blog about, here goes…

Here’s the scenario:  I call someone and they don’t answer.  So, I leave a message on their voice mail.  Two seconds later, they call me back.  This is annoying on two levels.  Not only did they not answer their phone two minutes earlier when I originally called.  In addition, they didn’t check their voice mail before calling back.  Come on, people!  Either answer your phone, or wait to see if the person leaves a message.  It’s really annoying when they call you back while you’re leaving the message. 

Anybody with me on this?

Seems that Josh Martin has tagged me, so I’ve gotta come up with six weird things about me.  I’ve done this once already.  It will be difficult to come up with six more weird things about me (maybe…).  Here goes:

1.  This may be more of a pet peeve – I get a little angry when people place large orders in a drive thru.  I mean, the purpose of a drive thru is to get your food quickly and move on.  If you’re ordering for sixteen people, go inside!

2.  I’m not sure I could go to bed before 11 p.m. if my life depended on it (typing this at 11:49 p.m.).

3.  For some reason, I think corn tastes better on the cob.

4.  I’m picky about undershirts in two ways:  a.) I always wear one – I can’t just wear one layer, unless I’m working out, and b.) they have to be snug around my neck.  Anything just short of choking me is okay in my book.

5.  As of this entry, there are 12,501 items in my iTunes.  That’s enough to listen to for 45 days and it takes up 70GB on a dedicated MP3 external hard drive.

6.  I cut my own hair.

Sadly, I’m not going to tag anyone else right now.  Chances are, I’ve already tagged you, or you’ve been tagged by someone else.
