Huntley Brown: Why I Will NOT Vote for Barack Obama

Hey peeps - a good friend of mine forwarded an email to me yesterday that featured a link to a letter written by a musician I had never heard of before: Huntley Brown. I normally do not open those emails, especially if I've seen that it's been forwarded to several hundred people I don't know. I'm glad that I opened this one! Thanks Anthony.

To play it safe, I will not reproduce the entire article here on [ k-Blog ], but I will provide the link from its origin on snopes.com. If you're going to open this link, take the time to read the WHOLE thing and really think about what Huntley is saying. I like his perspective and his demeanor. Pass this along to anyone you might know who needs to read it, or if it affected you in any way. It affected me so it now appears on [ k-Blog ].

Since we're talking politics here, check out the video I did for Jay Speight's parody "Sarah Freakin Palin." I think you'll like it. Well, half of you might. Right?!

Extremely weird weird

Wow - it has been TOO long since I've logged into [ k-Blog ]. I'm definitely overdue to add an entry. Strangely enough, this is my second post coming to you from Panera of Cool Springs. Monday's are my day "off" and find it hard to get other stuff done at home for some reason. (Maybe it's just a lame excuse to get Panera food?!)

Speaking of strange... As I'm settling into my seat w/ a latte and going through email - I turn on my iTunes and play it on "shuffle." After a few songs "Break It Down Again" by Tears For Fears starts playing. I almost skipped it. (For those of you born after 1980, you may not even know the song of which I speak!) However, at 4:10 into the song there is a sound effect of a jet flying by - which I had no ida was even in there! At precisely that same time, I sent an email. For you Mac Mail users, you know when an email is sent the same kind of sound effect is made. WEIRD!

I thought I was hearing things but referenced back to the song and there it was...at 4:10...the sound of a jet whizzing by in the back ground! It would have been even more strange if it actually happened at 4:10 pm - but alas, it did not. It happened at 2:00 pm. However...if you were to subtract 2:00 from 4:10 it's about a TWO hours difference...and this is [ k-Blog ] post number TWO coming to you from Panera. WEIIRRRDDD! :-)  

Not really. Although, as I look out the window I do see a jet airliner flying by in the distance...

[ k-Blog ] just keeps on spreading, ya'll

And once again another mention! Thanks for the shout out TC! It's a privilege to be able to train with you guys - and I'm actually learning a lot of stuff and feeling GREAT!

Check out the latest blog post on the Compete Life blog. Post a comment and subscribe to their blog, would ya now?! 

Not a bad day overall: early morning swim, great meeting at work this morning with Jordan and Anthony, and got to reminisce on my Belmont days by playing for new friend Amanda Mackintosh for Commercial Showcase auditions. I think Melinda Doolittle was there. Ya'll check out Amanda's MySpace page! Also ran into one of my former professors Keith Mason - definitely the coolest cat on the BU staff for sure! It was great to see him...and actually wanted to tell him that I felt bad for the Miami Hurricanes last week on a TERRIBLE reversed call that turned the tide against UF. Hang in there...the 'Canes look much better this year (and I'm picking them to beat FSU...again).

To all the complainers...

I'm sick of people twitting and writing about how much they "hate the new facebook..." Get over it! Just deal with it. I guarantee you after 10 minutes of acclimating yourself to the new version, you won't even remember how the old version was... But even more than that - it's freaking facebook. If you get your panties in a wad about something as insignificant as facebook then you should seriously reconsider your priorities. Speaking of...I can't believe I've been on facebook long enough to write this note. I'm out.

Phenomenon finds kSparq appearing on National Blog site!

Yours truly is now famous! Nope, the seven or eight of you who enthusiastically follow [ k-Blog ] have not launched me to web stardom (I would need at least...like...10 more subscribers for that to happen!). I have now appeared on The Gospel Soundcheck, a blog by one of the coolest people ever - Joanne Brokaw. 

In the age of YouTube I believe a funny new phenomenon has started in finding obscure and old live Christian music footage from the glory years of the '70's and '80's. I think I'm now hooked because it really does bring back some memories of Youth Choir from my good 'ol Southern Baptist years. I knew we had some doozies and I hope no one ever posts any video of it! (Because I think I would probably watch them every day!) I seem to find myself in a trance when I watch these videos because they are just so...so...bad! 

Joanne wrote a great blog about this phenomenon and I want ALL of you to go read it! (Yes, that means all seven of you!) I would especially follow the link to The Way Int'l videos and watch "He's Our Promised Seed." I thought I was stiff and white!! And when you read Joanne's blog, please make a comment! Go HERE.

 

A quick sports note

Lots going on in sports right now. First, despite crazy weather delays Florida State put together a nice game against WCU to the tune of 69-0. Yes, I was surprised (even though it's a 1-AA school) that the defense pitched a shutout. And yes, I was surprised that the offense scored that many points (my prediction earlier was 41-19 FSU). It made me nervous that WCU kept it 7-0 midway through the 2nd quarter, but I would think it's hard to keep your head in the game when they keep delaying the game due to lightning. Speaking of Lightning, does anyone know that Barry Melrose is now the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning?!

Second, the Rays have now squandered their 4.5 game lead for the pennant in the AL East to 1.5 games after being swept in Toronto over the weekend. To make things worse, they will be in Boston starting tomorrow night for a three-game set that could very well determine the pennant and the post-season. Frankly, I'm scared. You know that Boston smells blood and that Fenway will be ROCKING the next few nights! Oh well, it's been such a great season to this point, we'll see what happens!

Lastly, the Bucs lost to open their season at 0-1. On the bright side, they started 0-1 with a loss to New Orleans the year they won the Super Bowl, so maybe this is a good thing?! 

Tidbits: Vanderbilt beat Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks last Thursday night - yay! The Cubs have a series with the St. Louis Cardinals this week. And FSU will host the Choo-Choo's of UT Chattanooga this Saturday!
