Monday Babble

1. Ladies and Gentleman... please meet my daughters' new role model!!!!!

SPRIGHTLY Isa Blyth will celebrate turning 106 today - and puts her amazing age down to being a VIRGIN.

Isa has never even been KISSED and thinks staying single has made her stay strong.

2. I'm always struggling with faith. I'm constantly on the lookout for something that will solidify my faith for me, but my scientific mind is constantly working against me. The other day, Stephen Hawking made this statement.

Known principles of physics can fully explain the evolution of the universe and our place in it, and these principles do not exist as the result of divine design.

I don't know why, but it always bums me out when someone of such intelligence says something like this. On a local radio show, they were discussing this topic. A caller said something I hadn't thought about before.

The human mind can't fathom God, we lack the intelligence. The same as an earthworm can't fathom the space station, the space station's there... but the earthworm could never comprehend it. Intelligence, no matter what form, has its limits.

3. I read a new picture book to my six year old daughter last night. When I finished she said, "That book was lame, daddy." Hm. Guess I need to move to chapter books.

4. I'm going to watch that new show called THE EVENT, I just hope it doesn't let me down like FLASH FORWARD.

5. My wife, myself, my 13 year old and 6 year old went to see SHREK FOREVER AFTER on Saturday Night. I'd read a lot of bad reviews for the movie, but we LOVED it. When a critic watches a movie like this, they should sit next to a group of young kids... just hearing them laugh and laugh and laugh really makes the movie work.

Favorite line - This is from Donkey talking to a Witch:

"You know what would improve morale around here... Flip-Flop Fridays."

6. I don't mean to sound like my parents, but the music my daughters listen to makes me sick!!! Don't believe me. Look at the lyrics from one of their current favorite songs called YOUR LOVE by Nicki Minaj

Shawty Imma only tell you this once, you the illest (dat for dat dat dude)
And for your lovin' Imma Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something all the girls want
You're like a candy store
And I'm a toddlor.
You got me wantin' more and ma ma more of

My favorite lyric from the song (and my Facebook Status today) is...

When I was a Geisha he was a Samari
Somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai

I laughed my ass off this morning when I heard that line. The worst part about this song is the use of the original song by Annie Lennox called NO MORE I LOVE YOUS which I love. So when I hear the beinning of this song, I get excited thinking it's the Lennox version. Then my heart sinks.

7. I've already started my Christmas list... these babies are on the top!!
