Oh The Cheese!

So when I was a young lad I, like many others, was a GI Joe fan. I watched the cartoon and the feature length animated films religiously. So naturally I was really excited to hear that there was going to be a live action film being make about the "Joes". I was excited until I saw the trailer. Seriously? It looked more corny than squirrel terds. The review confirmed my fears. Both new comers and old school fans agreed that this film was covered in cheese. To be honest, I forgot about the movie until I started looking for titles that I've missed in the theater and haven't bother to pick up. So my netflix que finally got around to G.I. Joe. I was actually excited to see it. I had forgotten what crap I was convinced it was. Well the film was a great reminder. Super-suits? Pulse Cannons? Nanobots? Its like they took every lame gimmick from Jackie Chan movie's and combined them into this one. I know I'm being harsh and there are some really neat parts. Snake eyes was probably the best part of the entire movie and he didn't have any lines... I am glad that they got "knowing is half the battle" in there. Oh the good 'ol days.

Oh well,

Cobra!

Wii!

So I wife got me a Wii for my birthday. Its actually Sunday, but she let me have the Wii early. I'm pretty excited. I'm not much of a gamer. I prefer things that have real physical outcomes to ones that just serve to taunt you when you fail. So why would I get a gaming system. All they actually serve to do is an exercise in the futile. But the Wii can be used for thing such as real physical exercise. So can weights and dumbbells but the Wii also has fun games. I like Mario Cart, so sue me. You can also browse the internet on a Wii... Thats cool. Oh, and you can watch movies from netflix on the Wii. I've been meaning to hook that up with our laptop computer. The one that I'm actually on right now, but then we'd have to be plugging and unplugging it all the time.
Moving on. We are coming ever so closer to the launch of the Davis Blog. I probably won't link it to here just because I don't want something I say to this audience to spread to another audience. Work has been such a chore lately. I used to enjoy much of my job, but now it just seems like a drag. I go through phases like this from time to time. Every job has it's ups and down and you have to get through the bad to get to the good and all that. I think a lot of the unrest comes in the not-knowing of my Air Force details. I still don't know basic dates and I should be getting my ID soon. Hopefully that means I can start Tri-care.

I sometime feel like I start a day planning on doing something, but often that thing is the very thing I neglect to do. Like today, I planned to get fitted for my friend wedding. I have to wear a tux and there is a certain day that I have to be fitted by. I don't know that day. It may have already passed, but I know that I still need to be fitted. I planned to do that today, but when I got home that is where I stayed. I've also lost a ID card for the bank I use. I'm sure it probably go lost in the laundry or something, it's just a piece of paper with some numbers on it, but those are important numbers. I think the last two weeks I"ve told myself that I'd get a replacement, but I've yet to go down to the bank. Oh, and the workouts, they've almost all stopped. Today was going to be that day that I stated back running, but I didn't take it off so I didn't go. I need to snap out of this lull... Sorry guys, that was kinda heavy. Maybe I'm tripping out about being 24. It's not old, but it is older.

Oh well, Heres a picture.

I'm Gonna Party Like It's My Birthday...

...because it is my birthday. Actually it's my birthday in a week, but I still plan to party.


So anyways, Earlier today I asked my beautiful wife what she was going to get me for my birthday. She gave a quick thought and then she told me that she knew, but she wasn't going to tell me. I begged for a hint. So she started telling me things like it was something that was available for more than just a particular store. My first thoughts are to musical things because most of the time my thoughts go to musical things by default. I ask her questions about what she has in mind. Her answer blow my mind. I can't think of anything that fits the description that she is giving me. I am racking my brain what could this thing be. Long story short, I'm pretty stoked about what she intends to get me.

What is it? I don't know... Maybe this will help

Coffee Night...

So the group of guys I play music with got together the other night and discussed playing a set at a coffee night here is town. I actually got excited about playing out of our regular Saturday venue (our church). So tonight I got my things together and headed to the local BCM. I should have expected the scene. Young, college kids filled the building. This was somewhat of an "open mic" type event so there were a few sets before us. When my wife and I arrived, there was a couple of guy rapping to a track. I was completely surprised to see a friend of mine up on stage. We used to work together at the Lifeway store in town. I knew he did Hip Hop, but I had no idea he'd be there. I have an album of his, It the single greatest Hip Hop CD I own. (that not really saying a whole lot, but it really is a great CD) But after him (and Mr. A-1 Bold) This was a Hardcore hopeful guitarist. The kid had guts getting up there just rocking out, but he need to work on his fundamentals. There was a singer-songwriter type with long hair. He was solid but nothing amazing. A girl played the guitar and sang, she had potential. Then there was Luke, who played electronica originals. Lastly it was our turn. All in all it was fun. It was the closest thing to a gig that i've played in years. Fighting a sound system brought but some "fun" memories. Me and the misses got back close the 11pm. I can't remember the last time we stayed out that late. Oh well, Tomorrow is another day... of work.

Till Then.

Off To Work...

So I just jumped on here to check some things before I head to work. This whole Google Analytics can really suck your life in. I've check my hits about a half dozen time yesterday only to realize that it updates once a day. But now I'm using even more Google tools because when I checking my stuff on analytics I saw Webmaster tools and now I've started that. Partly because it may help out at work, but most because I was kinda board.

Off to work for me, Later friends!

Mmm Lutherans...,

Happy Tuesday everyone! Tuesday are great days because they are my off days. I know that most of the free world gets Saturday and Sunday for their weekends, but I work in retail. I am fortunate enough to work in a store that is closed on Sunday, but we are open every Saturday and that means I work, for the most part, every Saturday.

If you were thinking to yourself as you read this blog, "I wish I could know more about His morning routine.", then today you are in luck. This morning was like many other mornings. Jennifer woke up about 6 this morning. I laid in bed motionless. About a quarter till 7 Jen comes in the room telling me to wake up. I told her that I had no intention of getting up. Although I didn't say so eloquently as that. It probably sounded more like a long grunt. She persisted that I get out of bed. I told her that there was no reason to since I was off. She then proceed to whine and moan for a minute. (she doesn't enjoy the fact that I get a day off while she has to go to work. She gets off at 1:15 by the way, just saying...) So after this I explain that its the same difference when I go to work on Saturday. She didn't seem to think so. She leave the room and I continue laying in bed. She's back a minute later asking me about her outfit which was cute and I told her so. She then climbs into bed to pest me some more when I notice she's crunching something. I ask her, "what are you eating" and She replies, "oh some Lutherans." (first of all, let me just say, poor lutherans, I mean... what group of Christians are more looked over in America then the Lutherans. It took me 13 years to actually see a lutheran church.) So I give Jen a hard time about saying that she is eating people when she is actually eating a Ludden's cough drop.

I'm Having A Baby!

... ok, let me back and say that my Wife is having a baby.

We had our first ultrasound two days ago. I have to say that it was a major relief to hear that baby Harris is doing well. I've actually never seen the baby in a ultrasound picture before. I always just got lost in the black and white, but I was able to spot my baby right away. He already looks so much like me (just kidding). By the way. I like the rule in English grammar that if the gender is unknown then "he" can be used as a pronoun besides it. I can't stand referring to my baby as "it". Having a little person forming is extremely personal and human. I'm still blown away by mere fact there is a tiny person inside my wife, and in six and a half (give or take) month we get to meet this little  person.

Hoping for a boy (typical) but so it Jen, so we are for sure having a girl.

Boy name: Jonah Brice
Girl name: Caroline Brice

Either way, I can't wait to meet baby Brice.
