Northwest Foursquare Church

Hey all, I've made some updates to the Northwest Foursquare Church website. Check it out... Basically, I reduced the height of the banner up top and added the church name (Northwest Foursquare Church). I also added the Bible verse of the day to the right pane and increased the font size throughout the site (and messed around with the stylesheet), let me know what you think.

Northwest Foursquare Church is a foursquare church in St. Ann, Missouri (basically north St. Louis County).

If anyone is interested in helping with the Northwest Foursquare Church website let me know... I could use some help.

(By the way, I'm not being redudantly redudant on this post, I'm trying to drive spider traffic to the site to increase visits and search results.)

New Blog Update

Ok... so I have the new blog domain name purchased, got the hosting temporarily figured out (thanks chris) and got the skin about done... I still need to figure out what I can / can't do with CS. BTW, I thought I had the skin finished and went to post with it and it looked horrible :<

I need to re-slice the images in fireworks and try again, but I think it may come down to me hand-coding the html for this since fireworks didn't do the slices very well...

Bourne Supremacy = Good Flick

Bourne Supremacy is a good flick. I watched it with the family on Christmas at my Dad's and tonight I did the ole Pay Per View to TiVo thing. I really liked the first one and I hate to say this about a sequel, but I may like part deux better. I'll have to watch it a few more times to know for sure... considering I've seen Bourne Identity probably 100+ times.

Sour Grapes?

On GOPUSA (via Talon News) there is an article highlighting comments from John Kerry at an MLK rally yesterday. Apparently, Kerry is blaming "suppressed voters" for his loss in November.

But, Kerry commented that "thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote" in the 2004 presidential election.

"Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways," Kerry maintained. "In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, eleven hours to vote, while Republicans [went] through in 10 minutes -- same voting machines, same process, our America."

I only have one question... Aren't election commisions bi-partisan? If so, how could his claims be true? Horace Cooper points out in a commentary at GOPUSA the tale of two cities when it comes to "election fraud".

In my humble opinion, based on what has happened during the last two presidential elections, the democrats think it is okay to bribe people to vote w/ cigarettes (st. louis), try to vote with dead registered voters and dogs (city of st. louis, yet again), try to determine the intent of voters who couldn't fill out a valid ballot (florida) and try to not send out the military absentee ballots in time unless threatened by the U.S. Department of Justice. These things are all ok with the democrats but in elections watched by both parties (Ohio) they are blaming "voter suppression". Who suppressed the voters? Oh yeah, the election commissions... Sure they did.

Congrats to Mike and Laura Masters

The Masters' wedding was a great time! The wedding was at the Jewel Box (Forest Park) and the reception was at Bevo Mills. Laura looked great and Trin looked great dressed like Dirk Diggler (inside joke, you had to be there). It was a wonderful event and Pastor Larry did a amazing job with the message. I felt honored to be a part of it as an usher and by giving the scripture reading.

Haze did a great job with the best man toast and it was a lot of fun for everyone. The band (Encore) was amazing! During the reception Bahnak and I were talking and he mentioned how truly lucky we are to have such wonderful friends who we've known for such a long time. I couldn't agree more, it's very rare to still be best friends with so many people you know from high school.

Unfortunately, since I'm the only loser in the world without a digital camera, I don't have any pictures to post of the wedding. Hopefully Haze will come through with some pics, I looked at his batch and they looked great. Congrats again to Mike and Laura!

Truly Prophetic

This is the headline from SportsPickle.com last week:
"Manning Discouraged to Find His Horoscope Reads: “Choke Versus Patriots Again”"

I feel bad for the Colts who can never get past the Pats.

As for the Rams, I don't feel bad at all for them. The only good news is that because I was at MC Trin's (Mike Masters) wedding (which went off perfectly and was a great time for all), I didn't get to watch much of the horrible blowout. More about Master's wedding later.

Been breaking from Blogging...

I haven't been blogging too much lately, due to the holidays and not much going on that has been blog-worthy to me. Here's an update on what's going on in my world:

MC Trin's wedding is this weekend so this should be a good weekend of seeing some old friends and watching our buddy get married.

Haze's blog hosting company went out of business, so he's moved his url to www.rantinghaze.com. I feel for him... After working in technology for a while (almost 6 years now) it would suck to lose a whole website and not be able to recover it. As soon as I post the new look to this blog I'll update the link to his site.

My buddy Matt is giving me his pool and foosball tables for the house tonight so I'm looking forward to having some people over soon and playing some games. (If my house wasn't a bachelor pad before, now the whole house might as well be a clubhouse).

Deloney (Mr. Meaner) just turned 29 so he's officially an old man!!

That's about it for me, I'll be posting again soon.

My Favorite Sports Site

I love sport's pickle. Here is a one of their articles from this week (prior to the Ram's Game):

Mike Martz set to coach season finale with a tinfoil hat.

St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz continued his erratic behavior today, vowing he will wear a tinfoil hat during this Sunday’s game versus the Jets.
“I think the Jets will have a spy plane fly high over the stadium and read my thoughts with invisible laser beams,” said Martz. “But my tinfoil hat will deflect the beams and allow my cranial database to remain uncompromised.”
Martz said he created the hat out of a roll of tinfoil that was manufactured before the Cold War began. “All tinfoil and aluminum foil made after then has little microchips implanted in it to allow the communists to read your thoughts,” said Martz. “But I only use pre-Cold War tinfoil in my hats.”
“I think Mike has pretty much lost his mind,” said running back Marshall Faulk. “I honestly hope we miss the playoffs so he can go get some psychiatric help.”
“They’re all out to get me – the media, Chris Mortensen, Kyle Turley. They want to shut me up before I tell the world what I know,” said Martz. “But I won’t let them. I will be victorious””
