Strengthen the Air

*Edit: HOLY COW, HOW COULD I FORGET? HAPPY CANADA DAY, EVERYONE!*

I hope this blog finds everyone doing well. I had a severe lack of comments on my last blog (and it was Jenkins of all people, I guess that's what I get when I call him out)... maybe we can change that this time around? It's cool to know who's reading and everything and I hope you're being entertained as you do. This is something that definitely helps that urge to write I always have. Tiffany mentioned to me after she read one of my recent blogs that I don't have to wait to go back to school to start writing. I realize this, but I just feel like going to school for writing would provide me with more ideas and better avenues to go down regarding that. By the way, I'm trying to convince Tiffany to start a blog (a Myspace is a whole different story), so what you guys should do (And this is so definitely not a ploy to get you to comment...) is comment this post and say that you would read Tiffany's blog and be her Myspace friend, if you would. I know Jenkins will definitely be all over that. I think he has an unhealthy fondness of my wife...

Anywho, work was awful today. After the training I went through the past month, it is literally back-to-back calls all day long. Before there would at least be a little bit in between calls every now and then, but now there is literally no time at all. It's very taxing. Somehow, through all of that, I'm still able to read a decent amount while at work via Biblegateway.com. It also helps that my car is still not working so Tiffany is taking me to work almost an hour early and picking me up a half-hour after my shift too. But today, I read through Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and am currently reading 1 Thessalonians (I think, maybe 2 Thessalonians). I'm really enjoying what I'm reading and I don't want to stop. So, typically, I don't. I'm excited to go to church tomorrow and see what Pastor Marty has in store for the youth. By the way, I'm looking forward to July 14th. J.R.'s Bar-B-Q opens in Moore that day, which means from then on, I'm going to have a new first-place-to-suggest to eat Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. Word!

So, though I know that most of you don't care, the wrestling show last night was really entertaining. Half of that was because it was just a really good, really unpredictable show. The other half of that has to do with Josh and Sheila, who were sitting right on the hard camera side and were on TV all night. The first fifteen minutes or so were filled with watching out for the "HI RYAN" and "HI TIFFANY" signs, the rest was watching them as they read my text messages. It was funny. But I'm glad they had a good time, because as I mentioned in a previous blog, they were really upset about all the changes that were made.

There's not a whole lot going on right now, I guess. July 4th is in a couple days. At this point I don't really have any plans. It's my mother-in-law's birthday, so we're waiting to see if she is going to be in town so we can take her out to dinner or something, but it looks as though she might be going out of town. Who knows? If she does, we might end up going to Choctaw to Courtney and Cody's house (Tiff's cousins, Nathan's sister and her boyfriend) and have a cookout, swim, and blow stuff up. Blowing stuff up is always good in my book. I also have next Monday off, and if we have enough money we will probably go to White Water Bay. I'm not a terribly huge fan of White Water, but Tiffany definitely is. I like being in the water and stuff, but I don't like the fact that I feel like I have to wear a t-shirt because I'm fat and too self-conscious. I know there are people there that look worse than me, but whatev. It's also expensive, but that's just something I need to get over. Tiff and I are about to spend about as much money to see a movie in a couple weeks (The Dark Knight) at Warren Theatres in Moore. That should be cool. HD Batman... only one word that can describe that: Word. (I should probably just change the title of this post to "Word." But that would involve pressing Shift+Tab, deleting the current title, and then retyping "Word." again.)

I feel like I'm babbling an awful lot, so I'll stop now. Again I hope you all enjoyed the blog. Comment! And especially comment and mention that you'd read Tiffany's blog and be her Myspace friend if she had either or both.

    I'd read it also, just like I read yours all of the time.

    first of all, my unhealthy obsession with your wife is not unhealthy at all. i'm seeing her more and more as a good step-sister type being. i know you're just playin' (i think) but i just thought i'd clear it up once and for all...sexy step-sister...or maybe a sexy second cousin. :-) but yeah, we'd all definitely read it, because if we read your stuff, why wouldn't we read hers? she's intellectual. she's funny. she's just...not you. i still love you pal, i really do. i think it's super-neato how much you're changing into the man that God's wanted you to be for a while. anyway, can't wait to see you again (i know, that sounds wicked gay, but i don't care.) i miss hanging out...it's been a while.

    in the meantime, colorado springs is particularly beautiful today; it's quite unfortunate i'll be flying back tomorrow, but the fourth will be awesome. i too will be attempting to blow some crap up. do they still have that fireworks stand setup on macarthur and memorial-ish area? like, right over the county line? i'm gonna need some. this is the longest comment ever...a new challenge.
