Music Of Interest

I've found this great band via the One Dark Summer free cd sampler that you can get at purevolume.com, they are called August Burns Red. Hard hitting, face smacking, Hardcore/Metal that either sends you: running with your fingers in your ears, or fists a pumping and your head a banging! Oh yeah, Cheese Supreme! Anyways these guys are good, and if your somewhat interested in "good" music you should check them out.

On the lighter side of things, I found another band on this great sampler(One Dark Summer), they call themselves Run Kid Run. Their song "We've Only Just Begun" is what really got me into them, and if you listen to the lyrics you'll notice that they're extremely positive. When I'm not in my happy place, just playing "We've Only Just Begun" will get me feeling better....again Cheese Supreme, but it at least it tastes good.

Samplers are great things, they can reveal all these hidden gems which you may never come across anywhere else. So to all that read this, if you've found bands you'd like to give some mad props, then comment it up!

Just so it's clear these are not my favorite bands, just some gooders that I've stumbled upon recently.

Here's the music video for "We've Only Just Begun"

Boy's Club Canceled?!

Today, I was ready to header back to Boy's Club(BC), I co-teach gym and because of the BC schedule, I've been off since before Christmas. This afternoon I got a phone call from a BC leader, asking if I would be willing to sub for his class tonight, I told him about my gym commitment, but we worked that out; for the first part of the night I would attend to his class, and when gym started I would depart his group for the gym. While we were talking this leader brings up an interesting tidbit, he's not the only leader in need of a sub infact a whole bunch needed subs, to the point of canceling BC! It wasn't for sure but the leader, on the phone, told me he'd get a hold of me if things went sour, and Club was canceled. Alright fine, well I get home from work, and guess what? BC is canceled! What?! This really hit me in a soft spot, and it's been on mind for most of the evening; how can it be canceled? The only time I can remember BC being canceled, was cause of weather, and that was usually a winter storm of epic proportions. Boy's/Girl's Clubs, I think are vital in the development of kids/young people in the community, and has impacts on many peoples lives; personally, Club is where I made my choice to follow Jesus.

This is by no means a slam on the Boy's Club leadership, or those leaders who could not make it to BC tonight, I'm just confounded by this turn of events. One thing that bothers me is when events/programs have to be canceled because of a lack of volunteers, I think this is one of the reasons I'm a "yes" man...I have a very hard time saying no when asked to help. Anyways this "yes" man "no" man topic is for another time, and this is getting a little drawn out...

Superman

I did this Superhero test and came up with Superman buy a clear margin, so I guess there is no questioning it, I'm Superman! If you'd ask me personally Superman would not be my first choice, but the test does not lie, I did it twice and both times came up with Superman....It is my destiny.
