Buttcrack Clocks

Final Score:

Georgia Tech 30    Miami 23

Oh yes, the Yellow Jackets have taken back their rightful position as #1 in the ACC Coastal Division, and hopefully as one of the top 20 teams in the nation.  Tashard Choice gave another stellar performance fo the homecoming crowd at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, as he rushed for over 100 yards with 2 TD’s, a first for a rusher against the UM defense. The Tech D-Line played another fantastic game as well, sacking UM quarterback Kyle Wright 6 times. 

So sweet…

So after I watch the game last night (I had to tape it, because I was playing golf with my Uncle), I decided to hit the sack early. As I was going to sleep, I noticed my fan wasn’t on. Being the lazy teenage guy that I am, I asked my mom, as she was walking by my room, to turn it on…

Me: Hey mom, can you turn my fan on?

Mom: Yeah, but you shouldn’t sleep with your fan on-especially when It has so much dust all over it

Me: Well last time I checked, it’s not exactly my responisibility to keep my fan dust-free

Mom: Well, actually it is

Me: What?!

Mom: Look buddy, we don’t have a full time maid around here, and I’m certainly not it

Me: Yes you are…you know why women don’t need watches, right?

Mom: No…why?

Me: Because there is a clock in the Kitchen! *laughing histerically*

Mom: There’s a clock on your buttcrack…

 

Wow, my mom is cool

Sunny With A High of 75

I looked at the weather forecast for today, and that’s exactly what it said.

I was excited.

So after our traditional trip to Starbucks, Chris and I listened to that song all the way to school…

It was cool…

Haha, it rhymed…

Obsession…

So I guess you could say I’m obsessed with Showbread. But I was looking for cool videos on YouTube today, and I saw this Showbread interview. It’s really funny. And you should all watch it. And by watch it I mean all of it. Please, please, please don’t watch the first 4 minutes and be like, “This is stupid, gahh.” Because it will anger me. Its only 9 minutes long, just watch it…

A Bad Dance + 133 Minute Church Service=Bad Weekend

So Geneva had its first dance last night. It was a “decade dance” (whatever that means). And everyone was supposed to pick a “decade” and dress the part. I did the whole 70’s thing, you know: corduroy vest, coat, plaid shirt, glasses, etc. I should have known that it would have been loserish when I got there and saw the 4 foot 5 dance instructor trying to teach people the Charleston, but me, thinking I can make anything fun, decided to hold out hope for a decent dance. Let’s just say that it didn’t happen. The DJ was just as loserish as the music he was playing. And I almost stepped on the dance instructor’s head (okay, so maybe not). But the point being, it was a horrible dance, and I hated it.

Then I woke up today and went to church with the family. Today was the “Pledge Sunday” for our building campaign, so I knew it would be a big deal. They had numerous people come up and give testimonials about everything that God has done through UPC in their’s, and other people’s, lives. It was all fine and dandy, until about the 27th person told us about how someone from UPC had done something to help somebody sometime. Uggh. So at this point I’m looking at my cell phone and its been and hour and a half since they started the service, and I’m like “Well, at least its about over…”

Little did I know that the service would proceed for 43 more minutes. When they got up to sing the last song my dad goes “Oh Lord, they are not going to sing another song.” But they did. And as the pastor finished the benediction, my cell phone clock hit 12:13, making it a 2 hour and 13 minute church service.

Quite possibly the longest in history…

The Greatest Song Ever (Okay, so maybe not)

So I have always been a semi-fan of the band Showbread. I mean, I’ve always known they were good, and their Mouth is Like a Magazine music video is amazing (maybe a future post?!?). But it was today that I downloaded their song Oh! Emetophobia! After the first time I played it, I couldn’t get enough of it. I also quickly realized that I have no idea what Emetophobia is. Well thanks to trusty Wikipedia, here’s the definition:

Emetophobia is an excessive or irrational fear of vomiting or of being around others who are vomiting. It is one of the most common specific phobias. In survey research, six percent of the U.S. population claims to fear being sick, although a much smaller number suffer from actual emetophobia, which manifests itself through a variety of phobic behavior.

^{This has absolutely nothing to do with the song, I guess they just thought it was a cool word and went with it…}

Nature Was Calling…

So I got off the stage tonight after leading worship at Youth Group, and let’s just say, nature was ‘a callin’…

So I quickly got up to take care of business, and I was just sitting there when this little black boy comes in and pees in the urinal two stalls away from the one I was in. He finished relieving himself ( I presume that’s what he was doing) and bends down near the sink (about 15 feet away from my stall) and this is what ensued:

Little Black Boy: Who are you?

Me: Ryan

LBB: Who?

Me: Ryan Delk, I’m a Youth Group leader

LBB: Ohhhh…

*LBB now walks into the stall next to me and climbs on the toilet and looks over the wall*

LBB: Oh! (in that little kid voice), I’m sorry

Me: *Laughing*

LBB: I’m sorry Ryan, I thought you were standing up!

Too Funny…

Thank the LORD for fall break…(and I most definately mean that literally)

So pretty much I woke up at 9:30 this morning, and it was amazing. I haven’t slept that late in a long, long time.

They I played basketball, did some work, more basketball, guitar, worked out, more basketball, and now I’m watching The Man From Snowy River with the family…

I’m really looking forward to this break. Tomarow and Saturday I’m going to catch up on some yards with the Fronz, then Sunday is a big day for the Youth Group band, and Monday its off to BUSCH GARDENS…Wooh Hooh!! Man I love that place…

So yeah, that’s about it…

…Just remember, Daises are Bowling Balls Best Friends…

Crazy Videos

This is quite possibly the funniest video I have ever seen…

And this is just insane…

(BTW: He’s on a motorcycle, and he pops a wheelie at 50 mph and then accelerates to 140 while on one wheel)

I hope you enjoy those as much as I did…

Me and the Queen

Today in Sunday School we talked about Snow White. I, (Like you, I presume) thought it was juvenile at furst, but it actually turned out to be a really good lesson. One of the really cool things that I took away from the lesson was when the Queen asked:

Miror mirror on the wall

who is the fairest of them all?

The mirror told the Queen that she wasn’t the fairest of them all, and that the only woman fairer than herself was Snow White. The Queen was not satisfied at all with being the “second fairest.”

I quickly identified with the Queen.

In so many areas of my life, I  find my value from being, or trying to be, the best at something. If I meet a better guitarist, or a better juggler, or a better student, or anyone who is better than me at something, I immediately feel like I am inferior to that person. And, in response, I try even harder to be a better, say, guitarist.

It is extremely hard for me to not be envious of someone else’s talent. I immediately want to prove that I am better than they are, rather than accepting, and being excited about their gifts. But in reality, my value and worth as a person has no relation at all to how good of guitarist (or anything else) I am. I am valuable because I am created in Christ’s image, not because I can play some stupid piece of wood with metal strings on it, or throw dumb balls into the air and catch them. I feel like I have gotten alot better at this lately. Mostly because I have met some people who can really kick my butt at alot of things. But when I finally learn to completely accept that I can find my value in Christ and only Christ, I think that my life will be a whole lot more enjoyable.

I think I’ll work on that…

This is the Clincher…

Well not really, but you should check out Chevelle’s album “This kind of thinking (could do us in).” Its really amazing. Especially their song The Clincher. They are kind of like Tool, with a little edgier feel. Anyhow, they rock…and you should all go buy their album.

Anyway,  This week has been pretty great. Golf is over, praise the Lord. So I have alot more free time on my hands. I’m looking forward to doing stuff like playing guitar and basketball, which I haven’t done in forever.  But any way, maybe I’ll get around to posting some interesting stuff this weekend…I’ve been wanting to for a while…

Stay in school, kiddos
