VHF - I do this all the time

Thought I would give you an idea of what I do in my free time.  Happey Friday.

Great Expectations

There seems to be so many people yet so few minutes.  Too many cups of coffee, too many missed lunches and never enough glasses of water.  Too many books launched but never landed.  Too much people pleasing so little understanding.  It seems the longer the meeting the shorter the results.  So many ideas so many obstacles.  So much ambition so little resolve.  So much joy, yet so much fear.  Too much work too little reward.  So many requests so little chance. 

Heaven waits
Twilight has a Saga
and Dancing needs stars
Twittered and faced
Skyped and spaced
Eagle shirts
Boxer Shorts
Jugo Juiced

Too busy or too lazy.  Time management or more time?   

Space
Whispers
Open hands
Quiet heart
Hearing
Straining
Humble

Hope.

New mercies, new day.

Great expectations.

Little Known Facts

Since 1939, when the NHL moved to a Best of 7 format for the Stanley Cup Finals, the team that has won Game 1, went on to win the title 54 times.

The Top 5 Banks in Canada collectively made over $5 billion in profits in the 2nd quarter.  This fell short of forecasts apparently.

Rafael Nadal was given a watch to wear at the French Open.  It was crafted by the watchmaker Richard Mille.  It's price tag?  $500,000

So... What can $500,00 buy you?  Well, this or this or this or try to live here or 30ish of these or this

The 2010 World Cup (Soccer) is taking place this month in South Africa.  This event takes place every 4 years.  In 2006 games were televised in over 214 countries.  Total viewing audience was 26 billion+ people over the course of the tournament.  With an estimated 607.9 million people watching the final match between Italy and France.  And I thought they had a marketing problem calling it "soccer" and "football."  Check out the facts here.

The latest Barna Group stats on charitable giving. 

Number of times this past weekend I was asked if I was a cyclist because of the lack of hair on the bottom of my legs - 2.

Swagger Wagon "Meet The Parents"

Okay, so had my brother-in-law and sister-in-law here this past week.  Whoops, supposed to give a shout out to Shauna, because apparently, I have failed to mention since the inception of this blog, that she is my favorite sister-in-law.  Maybe a little pushy, but I digress (and now, because of that last comment, just completely lost the coolest brother-in-law title).  Being a reader of the blog (one of 6), Shauna loved the Swagger Wagon vid from awhile ago, and while visiting us this past weekend, loaded up a new clip from the same series that is pretty sweet.
I am gonna link it, instead of embedding this puppy so you can watch the whole array of ad's if you want to be cool and be the best parents cause you feed your kids.  We do by the way which makes us awesome.

Out of the mouth of babes

We have Carla's sister (Shauna) and fam here for a visit.  They wanted to see the new digs.  While I was driving Megan and her cousin Taryn home from being out, Megan suddenly proclaimed, "Dad, dad, look back here.  We can both lick our armpits!"

There literally is nothing to say.

VHF - OK GO

OK GO is the band who sky rocketed to the youtube stratosphere with their now infamous treadmill video.  They have released a new vid, and they do not disappoint in the ability to "wow" you with their capacity be creative and have fun.  Happy Friday.

6 Things in my brain today

1.  Because I think this kind of stuff is interesting.  Like way more interesting than any season ever of the Bachelor.

2.  Whatever your opinion, whatever your understanding, whatever your personal life holds, you can't miss this event.

3.  Most likely all of us have done this at some point with no success.... until now.  Success lies at the edge of your lips.  Shout it out people.

4.  Read this article first so that you will undertand why I like this article second. 

5.  This is almost too difficult to post it is so lame.
