Connect 2010 Conference hosted by Robb Thompson

I picked up my first conference workshop and had to do some sort of promo for it. I obviously cannot tolerate the standard, “Hey, my name is NO ONE CARES. My course will be talking about STUFF YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT and I will teach you CRAP YOU ALREADY KNOW. So be sure to come AT THIS TIME FOR YOUR FREE LAME GIFT.”

So, needless to say, my conference session video is nothing like you have ever seen. We included sub titles to ensure our English speaking audience will be able to understand. This is for ninja, wizard idiots like me who are over watching crap intro videos. Read the rest of this entry »

I slept on this

Road trips are all about conquering. We blasted through 5 states (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania) and finally arrived in Washington, Pennsylvania. This piece of information means absolutely nothing to you but to 3 guys with bloodshot eyes from too many road construction signs, it is a landing on the moon for us. Take a look at this little video about what – the – heck just happened.

I need to also mention, only a few hours later I slept on a park bench similar to this with 2 pillows and a blanket because there was no room for me in the Escalade. I now understand how Jesus may have felt in Bethlehem … I also fond out the sun and birds wake up way – too – early. The Brightness!!!

Ezra Hamilton Wedding Roadtrip

I am in the final stages of prepping my life for 16 hours of driving over a 30 hour period of time. One of my best friends is taking the plunge (Whoot Whoot Zeee, Get Soooooome!!) and getting married in a place called Wheeling, West Virginia. I, just so happen to live in Chicago’s Southland which gives me this amazing opportunity (uhhhummm, clear throat) to discuss with you 3 must have items for the perfect American roadtrip.

The time is somewhere around 3am and I think I am in between the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean enroute to Japan. I finally had enough airplane food, plastic cups filled with water and  not being able to feel my semi asleep ###. It is time to embark on a walk to the on board lavatory.

We would never classify church as a cult right? That sort of stuff only applies to David Koresh (Branch Davidians), Marshall Applewhite (Heaven’s Gate) a few recent wackos on CNN or most recently, disciples of a cult leader in Jerusalem abusing little boys.

I can hear your little cortex brains spinning and yelling, Yah! cult people are crazy and they are absolutely insane. Can’t believe they do stuff like that to people. How could they get those stupid people to believe in every word they say till the point of death? THEY – ARE – NUTS!! Read the rest of this entry »

This is a humorous story which most of us have had at one time or another. Tools have been my latest venture. The next few posts will be idiotic things I have done recently. Maybe it helps you to remember something dumb you did too.

While I gather some more hilarious stories involving human beings just like you, I recently stumbled upon “the worst church prank ever”. I have been in church for 35 years and am only 29 years old and have NEVER seen THIS done. What is even crazier is this image came from my very own iPhone and is located only 300 meters from my home.

I was in my car driving to the post office when I saw it. My eyes triple blinked and I was so stunned I didn’t know what to do. I had just witnessed the WORST CHURCH PRANK at an Anglican church. Do I laugh? Do I call the church? Do I turn around to take a picture and tweet/facebook it … You better believe I am tweeting this bad boy. This goes in the record books. Hey Jay Leno, get a sniff of this one!

Here is a lovely title before the end of 2009. Sitting by the fire, reading your new favorite Twilight book, smoking a pipe, watching Cops on TV, trying to think of quirky comments to add to Facebook/Twitter profile, texting back a friend… when all of a sudden it hits you. That son of a (expletive) is a real (expletive, expletive, expletive). What is it about church people, are they born on Mars?
