Blatant Reality

Well I have returned from my Missouri Float Trip vacation and it was a blast. Weather was wonderful and the streams were up which are the only two things I need to have a great time (some people require a third item, a certain beverage, but not me).

While I was gone, it seems that I had a few comments on two of my posts (here and here) that had to deal with ethanol and why I despise corn ethanol in particular. Since these commenter have chosen to champion the use of corn ethanol (and ethanol in general) I figured I will need to write another post reiterating why I am not a big fan of crop based-ethanol and give some alternative solutions.

This should be coming within the next week so stay tuned.

I’m going on my annual float trip with some friends so I will be out of town until Wednesday. I wll try to post something daily but that depends on whether or not AT&T has signal at the campsite. Hope everyone has a good week and I might post something while we are on our way there.

Well I just got this fancy new Samsung Blackjack and I decided its going to be fun trying to blog from these tiny keys. Because of certain limitations, here are some things to keep in mind :

-I can’t hyperlink but I will include the link so you can copy/paste the URL.
-I can only link to one thing per post.
-I don’t have spell check
-And finally it takes really long to post so be appreciative of every post you see categorized as ‘Blackjack Blogs’. Every single post is a labor of love.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy these post. No idea how frequent or relavent they will be but I love new experiments.

Well, last night we had some pretty severe storms in and around the St. Louis area. Along with the sky seemingly being constantly alight with lightening, we got some pretty good sized hail. To prove how much I care about my readers, I braved this weather just to get you some pictures of the hail that probably dented a few cars around the neighborhood.

It also looks like we aren’t done with the crazy weather yet either so maybe you will get some more pictures later on.

I am finally back home which means that summer has officially started. Looks like this is going to be a great one. Since I have been in a car for roughly 12 hours today, I am going to bed. Have a great night and happy summer.

Sorry for the past couple of weeks of fairly sporadic and below average posts. Its been finals week and and things are always a bit hectic. Anyways, I will be home tomorrow so everything should return to normal.

Hope you all have a great rest of your Sunday.

I have been told that today Rush Limbaugh mentioned one of my videos I had on YouTube.com. It’s the video concerning Michelle Obama’s “That’s America” comment that I seemed to have overlooked when I had originally taken the video. Anyways, I didn’t get to hear when Rush exactly said but if anyone has a link to the audio that I could put up, that would be awesome.

Here is a list of some of the sites that have linked to my video:

BreitBart TV

NewsMax

PoliGazette

The Jawa Report

Patt Dollard

I really should start embedding my videos directly into my blog so that I can actually take credit for my work.

Hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter.

Remember, He has risen.

Well, Chicago was a blast. My friends and I had a great time and the people we were able to serve a lot of people in the city. So to remember everything that we did in Chi-town, here is a picture of a metal moose.

Don’t know why, just thought that picture would be a good way to close this adventure.

If you haven’t noticed a trend by now, I’m mainly posting about my nights here in Chicago. The reason for this is during the days we are busing helping out our respective churches serve the homeless and needy of the city. The nights are the only time I have free time. Anyways, here are two pictures I took last night. One is the Macbook Air we saw at the Mac Store on Michigan Ave and the other is the Chicago sky line from the Hancock building. You can see the Sears Tower off in the distance in that pictures.
