Christmas reflections and other random stuff

Well I had a great Christmas season. I usually hate this time of the year. The over commercialization of Christmas, Santa Clause all the fighting about “Happy Holidays” and “Merry Christmas.”

Anyway for me the season was great. Usually my Novembers are really crappy, but this one was great. God was totally protecting me and watching over me. Anyway early on in December I was struck with the awesomeness of the incarnation and overwhelmed with the joy of the season. This is a new experience for me maybe this happens for everyone else, I don’t know. So anyway I was really excited about Christmas this year. One thing that I do like about Christmas is singing the old Christmas Carols every year at church. I know the songs are old and routine and a lot of churches feel the need to jazz them up. As you can probably guess I’m not a huge fan of that.

One song that stuck out to me this year was Joy to the World. Simple song right nothing big. Anyway the song ends with Wonders of his Love. I spent a little time thinking about this. It is amazing. The wonders of his love, when we really think about the whole situation, His love is overwhelming. The Creator of the universe born in not just a dirty smelly barn, but also a dirty breaking down body. I don’t know I was just overwhelmed by His love for the glory of God, and for the redemption of man. Anyway I had an amazing Christmas it was great.

Movie Reviews:
Movies I’ve seen and I’m reviewing so suck it up and read…
Fun with Dick and Jane: Funny really funny. I liked it a ton. It makes fun of mainstream America and big companies. It wasn’t like the most amazing thing I had ever seen but it was worth seeing. Yes it is a remake but at least it is a new take on it. And it is a ton funnier then the original. If you like Jim Carry you will like this and Téa Leoni has great comedic timing she is really funny.
Grizzly Man: Ah pretty good nothing special. It was all right. I had heard that ended differently so I was kind of expecting more. It was interesting though. What I found really funny was the idea that this guy really thought he was doing something and I guess I don’t think he was doing anything. In the end I just think the guy was crazy. Not inspiring at all. O.K. I’m done making fun of the guy who got eaten by the bears.
Shawshank Redemption: You have all seen it a hundred times, it rules.

Random thoughts on girls, dating girls is tough man my brain hurts. I mean I am not even dating anyone or know if there is any future for any relationships but man you ladies confuse the heck out of me. Marzipan why don’t you love me? It is so confusing, I am now accepting applications and advice on how to use my brain, Ha Ha I’m funny… (In case anyone is wondering I am kind of joking around)

Random Recommendations:
I have added a link on my blog. It is a blog called Google Video of the Day. Most of the stuff is pretty appropriate you can use your judgment. Some of the stuff is a riot; check out the Wallace and Gromit. Really funny, anyway I that is some of my ramblings I feel like my brain isn’t really working to well so if this is hard to understand sorry…

Hope you hate my ideas.
