No Shave November

No Shave November
According to Urbandictionary.com No Shave November you don’t shave any hair of your body but instead you grow more bestial, brutish, and manly. NSV is finally here. It’s a month long celebration in which men who participate forgo shaving or triming their facial hair. They grow the manliest beard that they can in a month. Men everywhere get to enjoy NSV while their girlfriends are forced to endure NSV. Any women even try to pressure their significant other into shaving. I want to encourage every man out there who chooses to participate to not give in to the temptation to shave or trim. Man up and let that hair grow. For added fun chronicle your growth with time lapse photgraphy. Take a picture a day then at the end of the month combine them into a video and be amazed at how fast your hair grows. This is a call to men everywhere to join me on NSV 2009. You can posts comments of your journey here on this blog or just leave your comments on how you feel about NSV. As for me, I am going to post periodic blogs on my journey. Also I will post before and after pics on this blog of my prep for NSV as I shave the facial hair I have now. Then at the end of the month I will post my time lapse video of my hair growth!

Gazing into History

History is probably one of my favorite subjects.  I watch the History Channel as much as I can, yes I know that is strange.  I just love learning about the past, but one of my favorite past times has to be star-gazing.  I love to lay out under the stars and just lose myself in thought.  I love star-gazing because you are literally gazing into the past.  A star could have exploded 200,000 years ago and we could just now be seeing the results of that explosion.  I think that is just amazing!  A news article was recently released that said that we have seen the gamma ray burst from a star that exploded 13 billion years ago.  Wow, that is a long time and we are just now seeing it.  I think that is why i love to star gaze.  I enjoy staring into the past, looking at stars who in realty are not even there any more.  Maybe that makes me a dork but I don’t care.  It is these nights spent star-gazing that have probably been the most memorable for me.  I can lose myself in deep conversation with friends or have a romantic evening with my girlfriend.  History is truly under appreciated.  How many nights have you layed out and gazed into history?  Have you ever had a romantic night of star-gazing?  Maybe a first kiss moment, said “I love you” for the first time, marriage proposal, anniversary date!  How is it that history has inadvertently helped so many people?  Did the brialliant minds of the world ever sit gazing at history only to have a epiphany or break through.  Next time you put down someone who loves history remember just how much you love to star-gaze.

GRB 090423 is the small, very red source in the centre of this image. The red colour is indicative of its great distance – about 13.1 billion light years – since all the optical light has been absorbed by intergalactic hydrogen gas, leaving only infrared light. All the other galaxies and stars in the image are much closer to us and just happen lie in the same part of the sky.

Battery, Accident, Battery, Brakes…Dang you Karma!!!

So this past week I have had horrible luck with automobiles. On wednesday my battery in my car died and I had to jump it off to get back to hope. Last night Cheldon Gray backed into my car and it’s not driveable. They let me borrow their other truck and today it’s battery dies on me because I left the lights on. On top of all of this my youth group was planning on going to Hell House in Tyler Texas. The brakes on our bus locked up so no we are headed home. Automobiles just haven’t liked me this week. It would seem they conspired against me for whatever reason. Life goes on tho and none of these things could be controles but it’s just funny to me how this all happens at the same time. Could karma not spread these events out over like a couple of montths. Did I just have so much luck that karma tried to balance things out all at once? Who knows the answer to that. All I know is on Monday morning I am getting a rental from enterprise for all of my troubles well at least until my car is fixed or declared totaled. Maybe in my next cars life karma will be much kinder to me or maybe my poor car will just get an operation and be as good as it was before. Which for the record isn’t much.

11:50 with Cheldon

Ok so I have this friend, some of you may know her, Cheldon Gray. She had a minor accident on October 23, 2009 at approximitly 11:50 she was driving a friend home. She was backing out of her drive way and *BAM* *SMASH* she backs into the passenger side of my 01 Malibu. Now many of you would probably be upset if this were to happen to you, well not me. I’m kinda happy about it to tell you the truth. I have been wanting to get a new car and here this oppurtnity presents itself and I am 100% all for it! I just pray they total it and give me enough money to get a new, well used, car. Now I could have been mean and made her feel about as big as a Jelly Belly jelly bean. But I took the high road and didn’t but in reality I am ok with it. It was an accident and I understand that. Anyway I’ll update you soon with the details I get from the insurance company and promise to upload pics of the damage then.

44 degrees and Flip Flops

So I went to the Spring Hill football game tonight…it’s 44 degrees and I look down and I have flip flops on. Now I normally don’t get cold and I really am not that cold. However it’s 45 what idiot wears flip flops? I guess this one does but. I always do so oh well…it’s just so much fun everyone just flips out when they see my feet I think it’s hilarious tho…oh well I’m inside now nice and toasty! Flip flops for me are an all season shoe…if you think it’s strange you can think Blake Mhoon for me…he did it in high school and got me to do it and it’s been the same ever since…

Behind the Keyhole

I am sorta new to the whole blog thing…and yes I do know that my header image is blurry just forgive me.  I haven’t had time to find a better picture as of yet.  I hope this blog can shed light into my thoughts.  Behind the Keyhole implies that you only get a glimpse of what truly goes on but I hope that it is well worth it.

That Girl

Mallory and I have been dating for over 5 months now and that’s a long time for all of those people out there that know me. Things between us are great at the moment(she hasn’t got sick of me yet guys). How did we meet? Well I knew her but she never noticed me so long story short we played a softball game, a series of honesty box messages(term dig was used…yeah old school), afternoon at the center, a month of getting to know each other, and the rest is history. What is she like? Uh AMAZING! (standard boyfriend answer **yet so true Mallory**) Yep that’s about it for now. (gtg ttyl it’s 1 am bed time)
