I'm an Old Man

Well this weekend was a good weekend. On Friday I went to the Doc's and got the results of the biopsy back- it was negative except for a little inflammation in my esophagus. Basically my lack of diet and exercise is the main reason why I have had those problems. I have been feeling soo much better since I started dieting and exercising. I also saw my general doc while I was there and had him look at a huge cyst on my back that has become infected. He gave me powerful antibiotics and today I get to go and have it popped or something. Eww. Don't you just love reading about my health problems? It's like I'm 60 years old. Anyway, the show on Friday was one of Corporate Red's best shows. It was at an all ages club and we had about 100 teenagers rocking out to our songs. They definitely have more energy. They were crowd surfing and mosh dancing. On Saturday I went to my step brothers house and hung out with their family. We ended up at another parents party. I brought out my acoustic and Grant and I played guitar for them. They enjoyed it. Grant always introduces me as his brother cause we are close and people say,"Funny you don't look alike" or "Ah, you look alike." I went to Grant's church on Easter morning. It had a small town church kinda feel. The pastor gave a good message. Then I had to head an hour away to downtown Dallas to lead the feed the homeless ministry at the local mission. Most people in the class were gone that day so it ended up being 6 of us. I guess the homeless were shuttled over to the mission because we ended up feeding over 300 people. I was completely exhausted when I got home. Today I have to go to the docs, take guitar lessons, get my car back from the shop and work as well. How was your weekend?

Thought of the Day
"You know what I've never understood? Why did they change the siren noise? When I was a kid, it was always 'WAAAAAH WAAAAAH' and now it's 'WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO'. Why'd they do that? I mean, did they do some research? Did they find out that WOO-WOO was a more effective siren than WAAAH?"
"Hey, and what about those English sirens? 'EEE YAAAH, EEE YAAAH, EEE YAAAH, EEE YAAAH'..."
- George and Jerry, in "The Trip"

Don't worry, we're all getting older. You just take more medication than any 29 year old I know. Our weekend was pretty good. We went to WF on Friday afternoon. There were several of our relatives down that I hadn't seen in years. We visited with them and mom made a big BBQ dinner.
After dinner, most people went to (fight the indians) or go to the local casino, if you prefer. Jess and I decided to see a movie. Before we left, Beau and Ethan came over. Ethan is very cute and very good natured. Beau looks good, too. He had lasik (spelling) eye surgury, so no more glasses. After they left, we went to the movies and saw "Hitch." It was ok, but I wouldn't waste your time. It's too much love story and not enough comedy. Saturday, we didn't do much during the day. It was pretty rainy, so we stayed in and left the folks enjoy having grandkids around. Saturday night, we ate leftovers, and then Jess and I went out. We went over to Josh and Jenny's new house. It is very nice. His kids are very cute. His son (Cole) was dressed in a Spider-Man suit and his daughter (Abby) was in a Snow White dress. We visted for around 2 hours and watched the kids get the Easter Bunny a snack ready. They were putting little veggy snacks out. Josh commented to them that the Easter Bunny likes ranch dip with his veggies....and a beer. After that, Jess and I went to Old Town Saloon. It was pretty busy. I saw one of our old high school classmates, John Armstrong. Back in school, he thought he was hot stuff. He looked about 50 pounds heavier, a lot less hair on top, and was dressed like Mr. Furley. He didn't recognize me. I just listened to his conversation with the people at the next booth. He still talks the same. I was gonna go speak to him, but the opportunity never came up...no big loss. Sunday, we had a nice Easter lunch and then packed up to come home. One thing I noticed was that every time I go home to WF, I'm so full all the time. No wonder I was so heavy in college. Mom cooks all the time. Every three hours, they eat a big meal. I'm sure it's not that way all the time, but it's like that when we go back. I would weigh 400 pounds if I lived there. Last night, Jess watched The Incredibles, and I fought the VC on Battlefield Vietnam.....I got my butt kicked by Charlie. That's about it for us. I'm kinda costing through this Monday..hope it ends soon.
