Discipline

I have to get better discipline about blogging. I get kinda caught up in studying and reading I get a little behind.

A few things of note this week – I saw an ad for the John Adams mini-series on HBO this spring. Mom and Dad aren’t big fans of HBO (and how can I really complain about that) but I’m hoping I can talk them into finding somebody to tape it or maybe getting it for a month so I can see it. I’m a history freak and the movie is based on the book so I really want to see it. I have two months to work on Mom and Dad, I’ll have to be extra good. It’s 100 below zero outside so I can’t get into too much trouble.

All the frenzy about the Super Bowl makes me glad I’m not a football fan. At least, not enough of a fan to dissect every single angle for two weeks before the game. To me, football season is over. People make the Super Bowl out to be almost a holiday which I don’t like – it makes holidays less special if you have them all the time. And honestly, if I was a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving I would be offended to be lumped in with crappy pseudo-holiday like the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is just an excuse for people to argue, drink too much and eat Little Smokies in BBQ sauce. Now, I like Little Smokies but not so much that I want to deal with the other two. I know lots of churches and youth groups organize Super Bowl parties but I don’t know if they do that around here.

Speaking of…we’re still searching for a church. Mom and Dad think it’s really important to have one with a good youth group and the rest of us agree with that. So we continue to look.
