Welcome party people at the place to be, I'm Strong-Zack! Please leave all your moneys and gold nuggets at the door. This the randomness of Friday's pa-tuclarly called random rantings fridays. If you know what character I was imitating you win ...

Mahmoud got shafted at Columbia, and the U.N. this week.  So he went straight to his buddy Hugo for a little TLC. They formed an anti-American alliance, or as they put it, anti "imperialism". I find it funny that they think they are so powerful together when Chavez couldn't even rally the countries people, and leaders behind him just a few months ago. Look out for the Iran-Venezuela pact they might just take your lunch money.

Has anyone else noticed that lately my "Random Rantings" posts have been much more random then ranting.

My legs are sore, and by sore I mean I can't walk normal. I feel good though, but this new workout is killing me. Although I feel the inner jock that has hidden away my whole life is beginning to awaken. I'm thinking of trying out for Left Tackle for the Chiefs next year... ha!

No but seriously, The Kansas City Chiefs O-Line has looked so bad that I think just about anybody could do about the same job.

While I'm on the subject of sports does anybody remember the Larry Johnson "Grandmama" commercials for Converse? I loved them because they often co-stared Kevin Johnson, may all time favorite basketball player.

In London you can go to PRISON FOR UP TO 2 YEARS for texting while driving! I thought the whole point of prison was to put people who are a real threat to society behind bars. No matter how you feel about texting, those who text are not a menace to society... I'm sorry London, I'm glad we emancipated ourselves from your country!

Carrie and I went on a double date with Jessie and Char Wells Saturday night. It was a great time. Char and Jessie are delightful people...even if Char did threaten to knee cap me. I had a really good time.

I think I solved my house's drainage problem... the need for latex caulking.  After buying a ladder and doing a little investigation I'm going to have those gutters sealed like a scroll. Which should keep the basement from leaking.

The news hasn't been very interesting to me lately. Which being a news junky I realize that's weird. I just can't take anymore regurgitated arguments over the Iraq debacle.

I want Jesus. That's the cry of my soul. maybe that's why news, entertainment, everything thing seems second hand. I want to find my delight in his heart. I love pleasure, I want to know the God of pleasure, for real

So I'll cease the randomness because all I really want to do is pray...
