the Unexpressed Advantage

Don't ask about the test posts. Turns out that Word 2007 has figured out how to let me post and also upload images magically just using cut/paste. Any image. I'm pretty sure that's impossible to beat, so I suggest if you have blogger, wordpress, or livejournal that you head out and get a copy of word 2007 now, cause it's buttery cool for blogging.

More updates around the corner.

I've noticed recently that, as every good Christian boy should, I have a lot of swear word substitutions that I use; meaning that when I would normally swear I use some other combination of words in the place of an actual swear word.

I don't really have a problem with people who swear – I mean people who swear often and inappropriately are a bit rediculous – but in general swearing doesn't really bother me that much. If you want to drop an occasional F-Bomb to be funny or when you're really mad that's fine.

The other day I sauntered upstairs and found myself plopped down on a couch watching the movie "Hope Floats" with Beth.

Eventually everyone else did the same thing. There we were, once again (see also, Dirty Dancing, and Steel Magnolias) watching a chick flick as a house. I've always wanted to see "Hope Floats". And by "always wanted to see" I mean, "passed it for the last 10 years at the video store and never rented it."

But there it was, And so I watched. This is what I learned:

Today I was riding on a bus, and in the middle of the bus (sorry this is taking so long to write, my fingers are frozen), there's this accordion section that bends and spins around when the bus is turning or when it goes over bumps. It's like an island in the middle of the bus that's kind of floating there.¹Needless to say, when I can, I like to ride in the accordian-y part of the bus. In the accordion circle, there are two benches, with two seats each. They are facing each other.
