I ought to be flippin' RICH

Today alone, I have received notification that I have won over 10 million pounds sterling in at least 4 different random e-mail drawings as of 1pm. Not to mention that 5 different people would like me to share in the estate of a recently deceased loved one, only because I am a God-fearing man. And that is beside the several barely legal offers to 'transfer' funds from 'idle' accounts in off shore banks, which would net me a very modest handling fee in the 7 figure area...

I should be absolutely filthy stinkin' RICH...

Fortunately, I'm not stupid...

I HATE SPAM.

I don't have Xbox 360...
I will likely never have Xbox 360...

and so my 5 year love affair with HALO comes to an abrupt end.
(not that I've played at all since seminary ended, and especially since I got rid of my Xbox earlier this year and got a PS2 so I could play "God of War"...)

But I have so many fond memories of playing Halo and Halo 2 with my friends at WTS. In fact, our house was a living pavlov's dog experiment... On any given night, one of the four of us would turn on the Xbox and load in HALO and simply turn up the television... once the game loaded and the familiar gregorian monk singing began, it was only a matter of seconds before each of us was firmly planted in front of the television with a controller between our already perspirating palms and fingers... ahh, good times... good times.

Strange how I feel so nostalgic about those hours, and yet they often brought out the worst in all of us... nary a few minutes would pass in the middle of a two on two frag fest where one of us would not break out in a string of curses and violent beatings of our opposition (that was mostly Luke... j/k [not really...]) hehe :-)

But I suppose we've all grown up and are now all about our families and God's kingdom...

Labor Day at the Central Park Zoo

We went out and met Mama T and Uncle Davy and went out to the Central park Zoo. It was a long day in the city, but a lot of fun.




This tree looks wild - it's gaping maw wants to eat me...





I don't even know what prompted this huge smile... but if I had to guess it was someone's dog in the park...




She wanted very badly to jump in the fountain.. I wouldn't let her.






The jungle rising out of the jungle.


There's people in them there woods...
