Blogworthy

The "Thinking Man" is pondering the ultimate life question... What makes a subject blogworthy? We all have our opinions, we all have our ideas on why we blog what we blog. So what the "Thinking Man" wants to know is... what characteristics make something blogworthy?

The Best Holiday

As Thanksgiving approaches I feel excited, but a little disappointed in myself. I will address the disappointment later, first I will tell you why Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday. Thanksgiving is a great holiday because you can gather with friends and family without any expectations of buying or receiving gifts. In fact, if you did give someone a gift you would probably be looked at strangely. This is one of the reasons I like Thanksgiving. Another reason I enjoy Thanksgiving is the fellowship and warmth in the gathering of friends and family. It doesn't matter to me that it is an annual appointment per se to me, in our busy worlds if that is what is needed, so be it. Turkey, dressing, and sweet potatoes. Football. The classic ingridients to a perfect Thanksgiving.
Now, the true reason it is the best holiday, and the reason I am disappointed in myself. This is the only holiday in which other people are thought of first. In high school I remember participating in activities in which the poor were going to be helped because of the celebration of Thanksgiving. I did some things at Murray State. But this year, I have been so busy with schoolwork I have not found an opportunity to serve. Shame on me for not participating in the part of the holiday I find to be most appealing. I will make time next year, I hope.

-Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends at the Grad school. Espically to ones who aren't able to visit family.

The Farting Preacher

This is one of the funniest videos I have watched in a really long time. Everyone needs to experience the
Farting Preacher. Enjoy.

I Like Bow Ties

I wear bow ties. I get varied reactions from those who encounter me as I sport the unique accessory. Some critize the bow tie (haters). Some applaud the bow tie (congratulators). Some give credit for having the fortitude to wear the bow tie. My question is this: Why aren't bow ties worn more often? Why can't I find them on the sale rack at T.J. Max?
It is obvious, most people do not know the perks of wearing bow ties. The number 1 reason I wear a bow tie is that I look really good in them. At least that is what my wife says.
Ever been to some formal event where there is food and your tie keeps getting in the way? With the bow tie you fulfill your duty to wear a tie without the annoyance of the tie getting in your food.
Crave attention? A bow tie is a good way to draw attention to yourself.
Another great thing about bow ties is the preconceived notion that smart people wear bow ties. This blog has effectively blown that theory though.
Anyways, I encourage all to get a bow tie and join the trend that I am offically calling into existence.
