Where are you in the movie?

If we started a movie on the day you were born, and stretched it over your lifespan, this is where you’d be in that movie. So if you’re a teenager, you might see Luke arguing with Uncle Owen, or Cameron making a phony phone call to Ed Rooney. If you’re a retiree, you might see the Marshmallow Man, or Toto pulling away the curtain. And if you’re in your mid-thirties, you might be relieved to know that Ferris is still eating lunch, and the Millenium Falcon hasn’t left Tatooine.

Bag of Randomness

  • SisterGeeding (above in a Cinco de Mayo event in elementary school) once asked WifeGeeding, “When is Cinco de Mayo?”
  • A Geeding first . . . stitches.  I got a bothersome mole removed yesterday.
  • Silly me, I forgot to take pictures.
  • After leaving the doctor’s office, I had to navigate through a shopping center and came to a three-way stop, where my view wasn’t very clear.  Admittedly, I jump the gun a little too soon and almost got in a small fender-bender (well, we were still about eight feet apart) with a Suburban-driving-soccer-mom coming out of the local Christian bookstore parking lot.  I don’t know if she was a customer of the store or not, but I knew I was in the wrong and did my best to motion with my mouth and hands that it was my fault and apologize.  She reacted by yelling and pointing fervently to the stop sign.
  • I do it myself, but it is interesting how we as a society will automatically berate someone for making a mistake, when we ourselves have goofed up many a time as well.
  • Since the doctor’s office was near WifeGeeding’s school, I decided to drop in with some flowers.
  • As of now, her district is still swine-flu free.
  • Ticketmaster continues to be evil.  Link
  • When the pastor and leadership team of GracePoint United Methodist Church in Wichita, Kan., left the denomination on March 1, it raised the concerns over what can happen when a successful church plant decides to withdraw from the denomination. Link
  • The ranking of presidents on How I Met Your Mother had my very immature self cracking up.
  • One of my long-time and most faithful readers sent me this job posting about blogging and I decided to apply.
