Church Celebrity Sighting

I had my first real celebrity sighting since I moved to Atlanta...and it happend at church of all places. I was standing in the back of the church waiting for Regina to come back from picking Nick up from Sunday School and who should walk by but none other than the king of Blue Collar Comedy himself...Jeff Foxworthy. My brother thinks that everyone in Atlanta looks like Jeff Foxworthy but I did a little research today and it turns out that Mr. Foxworthy is actually a member of North Point Community church and a good friend and frequent Bible study partner of Pastor Andy Stanley. Go figure...

This is a story that I really identified with...I love the Peanuts Christmas and it really does kind of make me mad that kids today don't like it like I did when I was that age. Same goes for the Rankin-Bass "Rudolph", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the cartoon not the Jim Carrey movie), etc.

Fwd: Goodbye Old Friend

Sad news today...Peter Boyle has passed away today at the age of 71. If you're not familiar with his work, he is responsbile for one of my favorite TV characters of all time, the cranky/lovable Frank Barone on "Everybody Loves Raymond". He will be missed

Another Christmas Fave

Here is a link to another video that I really like. This has been one of my faves for a while. Robert Smigel (of SNL and Conan O'Brien) has typically taken a very cynical view of Christianity and isn't usually shy about letting that show through in his work. At any rate, this is a piece that I actually found to be very poignant. Watch it all the way through before you make up your mind.

How I Met Jean-ValJean

This is a clip I ran across on "TheTube"...that's what I'm lobbying for all the cool people to start calling YouTube. Anyway, it's a clip featuring the folks from one of the shows that I think is very funny right now called "How I Met Your Mother".

Good Afternoon Mr. Kubrik

Please accept this as my gift to you. 4 minutes with perhaps the finest actor of this or any other generation. I give you Mr. Brian Atene.

minor changes

I decided I would make some changes to my blog. I like to do that every now and then just to say I've done something. I decided to change the font from Arial to Georgia. Because I live in Georgia. If there's a better way of choosing the appropriate font I certainly can't think of it.
