I got a bit teary eyed watching the Phillies win the World Series on Wednesday night. I had been a life long Philly hater until moving near there last year. I thought of all my friends who had waited all their lives for this moment and got emotional. Got some txt messages today from people attending the parade. It must’ve been crazy. If the Eagles ever win the Super Bowl, the city will be wiped off the map by the party.
1. Wasn’t it great to have a World Series game end before midnight? How do sports expect to attract kids when they’re on waaaaay past bedtime?
2. Halloween is more fun as a parent because you have to limit the candy intake of your children. The best way to do this is to eat the candy yourself…in one sitting. Jerry Seinfeld’s take on Halloween will always be one of the best. “What do I have to do to get all this free candy? I can wear that.”
3. Having a situation where I want to close my eyes and hope God works things out for the best. That’s not really the responsible thing to do, but it is the lazy thing to do. So, guess I will get on that.
4. Denton does a thing called Street Treat on Halloween like a lot of small towns. The town businesses open up for the kids and hand out candy. We will be hosting a shin dig at the CHAMP Center down town. The CHAMP Center is our two days a week after school program. We are trying to reach kids at a young age and mentor them. It’s our Community Health and Mentoring Project.
5. Completed my first project on Ivideo-a church promo video for tonight’s event. There were a few frustrating moments where what I clicked on wasn’t what appeared on the screen, but I was pleased with the end result.
6. Sunday night we are having a chili cook off at the church. I am debating about entering my soon to be famous recipe. Why is there celery in front of my computer? DRAKE!
7. I am still debating on my Halloween costume. Trying not to punk out by not dressing up. I do have a football game to go to so I don’t want to get too crazy in my get up.
8. After staying up until 2:20 am Wednesday night, I have decided to never drink sugar free AMP again.
9. I think that they should save all the political ads this year and just reuse them in the future. Just change the names cause they all say the same thing anyway. What would happen if we spent all that money on providing clean water to places in the world that don’t have it? Politics now needs a spending cap on campaigns.
10. It’s supper time and trick or treat time so have a great weekend everyone!
So true about Philly. The city was so amazing yesterday. I got a little misty because I could share it with Tricia and when Charlie Manuel came by us. I don’t think I have ever been in a place where it was so electrifying and the crowd in such a frenzy and yet everyone was polite and helpful. We were one big ecstatic family. I wish you had been with us. When the Eagles win you have to come help us wipe Philly off the map!
