No Witty Title

I had planned on visiting my peeps down in the SPR today (that is, my friends in Springfield, MO). It was college days and my old youth Pastor, Doug Reed, the man who helped form the man I am today, is the speaker. Unfortunately, I had coffee with dinner last night (a late dinner) and couldn't go to sleep until after midnight. 3 30 AM (the time that I was to leave in order to have as much SPR time as possible) came very quickly and I knew that even with a ridiculous amount of coffee in my belly (coffee- this is all your fault) I wasn't up to the six hour drive. Plus it was still storming outside and that was a double whammy, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. I now wish that I would have sucked it up and gone anyway, but deep down I feel a bit relieved because I had so much that I was going to try to cram in two days as possible: hearing Doug Reed speak at the college days events, spending quality time with one of my best friends (since one is in China, this is a very small category), getting my yearbook from last year (some people aren't into those, but I can't help myself. . . it's a glimpse into a year of my life . . . even though I'm never in it), shopping for records (I'm a record guy now. . . did I tell you that?), having coffee two different times with two different people (girls) who may not want to have coffee with me in the first place, buying my hair product (Murray's pomade. . . they don't have it at my Walmart here because they don't have an African-American hair care products section . . . racists.), eat at my two favorite restaurants (Thai House, Adobe bar and grill), pick up my deposit money from my old roommate's parents, give my mailbox key back, meet with my mentor (the director of Student ministries @ CBC), maybe flirt with some of the CBC girls (who am I kidding, I didn't do it the three years I was there, I wouldn't do it now), and find the time to play some Guitar Hero 2.

Yeah, I'm okay with sitting here in my jammies watching Scrubs on the internet.

EDIT: Also, I have found candy corn to be quite tasty (and for dinner).

  1. One time, in grade school we made halloween "hands" by filling plastic "lunch lady" gloves with popcorn and candy corn as the fingernails...ever since then, i can't eat candy corn.
