aliens among us

I’ve definitely gotten over the “daily” blogging routine. There just isn’t enough time in the day now. I guess that means I’ll never get rich from blogging. Is it too late to patent my GodPal button idea? You know, push it, pay me like PayPal and Be God’s Pal all at the same time? Oh well. I’m skipping days now. That’s on Scott Williams’ The Don’ts list of blogging. Scott implies it’s all about consistency. I’m too old for that, pun intended. If you don’t get that one, be glad. Be very glad. So jimmy, why are you bothering these nice people? Secret hidden clue #1. I’m just kidding. There is no secret hidden clue number one. If there was, it’d be in the first sentence. Still clueless? psst…come closer and listen carefully…it’s hidden! Look closer. After the break of course. (grin)

If that little speech didn’t scare you off, you are an incorrigible reader of Aliens Among Us. You probably need your meds. Finds. I like em. Don’t know what to do with em. Here they are:

1. Ooh! I’m gonna do a Blog Comment Quote Of The Week! It’s from 5and2fish.com. Normally I’d say you can’t get enough of Ryan’s blog. He may have proved me wrong this time (grin). Without further ado, The Blog Comment Quote Of The Week: “as for me I am going to get a drink from some fresh elephant dung.” Ryan, I’m in awe. (grin)

2. Speaking of Scott Williams, he must think I’m rich or something. I can’t think of any other reason he’s buttering me up like this. Yo Scotty, not rich. You still like me tho, right? right? (grin) Scott is a nice guy, but a little clueless when it comes to God. He keeps carrying on about how God is “doing some amazing things at our campus”. Scott; God & doing amazing things…buy a vowel, get a clue. That’ll teach him to put me and “somewhat” controversial in the same sentence. All that work and all I get is a “somewhat”… For the completely clueless of you out there, I really like Scott a lot. If I didn’t, he wouldn’t get this kind of abuse from me. Isn’t he lucky? Scott, you listed both my blogs. You do know what that means, don’t you? (grin)

3. “OK, the title might be a little misleading. I do not make tents. ” I can’t quite get a handle on this guy, which is weird considering he’s got enough hardware in his elbow to build several. And thus we come to one of the two reasons Kyle P’s A Tentmaker’s Journey made the list this week. Check out the grimace on his face in photo #3. Anybody that is willing to cause himself physical pain for a blog post, well, bravo dude! Just freaking bravissimo! Even the labels for this post are spot on: BLOOD, BROKEN ARM, PAIN, SCREWS, STAPLES…I’m getting just a little jealous, in a Stewie from Family Guy kind of way…Reason number 2? Look through some of his previous blog titles. He is definitely on my list as competition for “somewhat controversial” (yeah Scott, not letting go of that one anytime soon, grin) post title creator. “Heaven must be full of Lortab! ” is a prime example. Pain and Drugs. This is my kind of alien! (grin)

4. “to find beauty in every comment, moment, picture, thought, conversation, interaction in life.” This one was almost too easy to be included this week. I mean, I like Aaron’s blog. Which is why he made it in after all. Try to follow me here. Aaron is doing a great series right now on “christianese phrases” (christian cliches). In the featured post, Aaron wants to know “Can we as Christians set up a Starbucks meeting with God”? Newsflash Aaron, and I mean that literally. Y’all all need to get over your fascination with Starbucks now. They are so last week. (grin) Having dropped that other shoe, let me be serious for just a “mo“. This is a great series by Aaron. Aaron is a unique blogger. To semi-quote the Flowerduster, he’s “man crush” worthy. Hey, I didn’t go there, Anne did! Check it out during your “quiet time” today. What? A mo is very short! (grin)

5. I try to not repeat on these lists, but Embracing The Friction is making it really difficult this week. Cmon! You know you all want to see pictures of Brandon in a dress! Uhm, or is that just me? OK, so chant with me now: LOSE BRANDON LOSE! LOSE BRANDON LOSE! What? It’s over already? So Brandon, inquiring minds want to know…(grin)

6. Is Rick Warren a Doofus If you start a post with this title, and include a link to Colbert Report… via Comedy Central, well, you have to be the Floating Axehead. Not only do I owe these guys an apology for calling them arrogant, but I have to find a better word to describe their blog. It just freaking rocks. Hate it or love it, doing without your Floating Axehead for the day is like well, getting hit in the head by an axe! Scott, Michael? Am I forgiven? Seriously, I can grovel much better than this! Just say the word. (grin)

7. Terry Storch is a dork. So I had to include TerryStorch.com / beta in this list. I thought I was a geek until I started reading Terry’s blog. OK, I get it. Yer all about the tech stuff. I’m just yanking Terry’s chain. He can’t help it. You don’t get to be the consiglieri of the LC digerati without being seriously dorky. Or as the video on the featured post says “great, there goes half your life”. I try to comment on his blog once in awhile but my humor just gets lost in my own cluelessness. Speaking of which, remember, when I make this much fun of someone, it’s because I secretly have a man crush on him. What? Anne said it first! (grin)

Second hidden Clue #2. Boy, if you are reading this, you really aren’t catching on yet. Oh well, the secret is; I made over 1000 hits on my bloggy woggy in under 30 days! I didn’t make em all in the same month like I wanted to. I fell 2 short. Shame on you all! (grin) Oh and secret hidden clue number two is that secret hidden clue number one has absolutely nothing to do with the first sentence of the blog. Shoo! Go to church or something…
