Only ice cream, never sundaes


February is one of those crazy months for those of us who are crazy hopeless romantics. In the past I would probably rush something. Take someone out just so I would not have to think about being single. This time around I actually did not even want tickets to the show.
I hear people all the time talking about the Carbon footprints that we leave behind for the environment. Lately I have been thinking about the Love footprints that I will leave behind.
I do not have a love interest that I am really interested in. I do have an amazing group of friends though that God has blessed me with. I know that God has put me in a place to encourage both my sister and my boss. They are both single mothers and both of them are very lonely. I know that if I had a love interest I would not be sensitive to hear them out.
Those of you that know me well know my mission. So with my mission being slightly delayed for the moment I know that God will have me to be a good friend and a good brother and a good worker. I pray that God would use me to make a difference in men’s lives and to love the unlovely. To do good things when no one is watching.
I love that even in the Bible in the Love passage that you hear in every wedding you hear it said that Love is patient and Love is kind. A more accurate translation of the word patient is longsuffering. This kind of makes me laugh because even God knew that men and women are going to have issues. You know out of all the weddings I have been to I have never heard them use the phrase longsuffering. Ha ha.... I wish to all of you longsuffering in your love life.

19 and OHHHHH!


Well I must say I was a bit disappointed at the outcome of the Super Bowl. One of the greatest teams to ever play went down to a team with Peyton Manning's little brother at the helm. I sat there in my parent’s living room with 32 of my closest friends in disbelief as the mighty Patriots went down. Not only that but Tom Brady did not come through when they needed him. Where was Brady to Moss? Brady is the only Sports hero I have in this great world and I feel like the kid who asks Shoeless Joe Jackson if he cheated in the World Series or not. "Say it ain't so Tom" The greatest team of all time ended the season at 18-1... Oh how it stung! Que Sera Sera.

My update on the training is that I finished Jan out at 50 miles. This far exceeded my 25-mile goal. I will most definitely pat myself on the back for that one. But we are in a new month with a new goal. 60-miles in a short month. 55-to go at this point.

I went to vote tonight and told them I was a Republican and the man said he would not hold it against me. Then he said no comment... You can't say no comment after you comment. I am sure that it is highly illegal to say anything like this if you are a voter representative at the polls. Such is Santa Cruz. Besides I don't even know whom I will vote for yet in November. I do know that I will make an informed decision and I will vote for the best person for the job. Whoever that may be. I will say that right now I am looking into voting for Obama or Mccain. I saw an amazing video a few days ago put out by Will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas using parts of an Obama speech that he gave in New Hampshire.
