- Casting Crowns - October 17th
As you know, we are going to see Casting Crowns in Tallahassee on Friday, October 17th. Mark Hall, the lead singer of Casting Crowns, graduated from The Baptist College of Florida, the same little college in north Florida that Teresa and I graduated from. So I feel like I have a connection to Mark Hall. [...]

- Settling In
Well, we’re mostly unpacked (I still have to find a place for all my books), and the kids are meeting all sorts of friends in the neighborhood. I go tomorrow for a tour of UPS and to have my fingerprints taken so they can find out if I’m really a terrorist or a Columbian drug [...]

- James Brown and Gerald Ford
What do the recent deaths of the “Godfather of Soul” and America’s 38th president have in common?
Brown died at a relatively young age of 73, while Ford was the ripe old age of 93 when he passed. Brown was a trendsetter, Ford was following in the wake of Nixon. Brown was “the hardest working [...]
- Chart Toppers: Hinder vs. Disturbed
In this edition of Chart Toppers I want to take a look Pop vs. Rock.
The distinctions between these two genres has always been interesting to me. While Pop can be any genre, it seems to me to have a common theme: Sex and relationships. I guess what they say in advertising is true, sex sells. [...]

I’d like for this to become a monthly column on this site. I’m going to take a look at some of the most popular songs on the airwaves today. I will be honest and say that I can’t give opinions on the musical quality of these songs because I’ve never heard them. I just went [...]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segal was funny, I could have lived my life without seeing his junk though. Russell Brand took the show though, he was hilarious, great timing. But overall the movie was a disappointment. I'd been expecting Knocked Up 2 but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the Bond movies. I like the Sean Connery era, But Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were too clean cut and high brow for me. Daniel Craig plays a more sadistic and heartless Bond. And the Poker game is fantastic, riveting.

McClane is back! I liked Justin Long as the sidekick. Not the best of the series, but at least it's better than #2.

I love Iron Man. It's intelligent, exciting, and funny. Plus fanboys (like me) love it for all the Marvel world references.
