Defining dissapointment and catching up...

The following takes place between 11:00pm and 12:00am. Tonight has brought a new defintion of disapointment in my life. Though very childish and quite whinny, it is all the same newly defined disapointment. Went to dothan this afternoon looking for a dart board, go figure its hard to find a dart board in dothan: but that's not the problem. While on this semi-quest for a dart board at Sam's Club I do indeed find a dart board, but, sadly i'd have to buy the pool table that comes with it: don't think so. So no dart board, oh well, no big deal. But what else did I happen to find, none other than "24" season four at quite a reasonble Sam's Club price! You see during this past summer, some how I managed (in the month of July, maybe first couple days of August) to watch "24" seaons one, two, and three. Watched seasons two and three with my Mom in Iowa; now she's hooked on Jack Bauer. So season four at last; it seems a reasonable buy, I mean about the same price as a month of cable and hey I'll ebay it when i'm done. No down side to this venture so I bought it. Then a few hours of intermission during which Danny nearly burned his house to the ground and some flag football. So I get home and finally set up the surround sound in the apartment; "24" demands surround sound. Finally, the time has come. I go retrieve the unopened box containing the chronicles of Jack Bauer's fourth day and with the percision of a druken surgeon dismember the warper from the, pull out the sleve holding the treasured DVDS, open each of the panels to get to Disc 1, and then............silence and utter disapointment; where disc 1 was to be nestled snugly with the little plastic middle holder thingy there is...nothing. Frantically, I thought out loud, "maybe it fell out, disc 2 did happen to fall as I open it." So I searched and search and out to my car to get my trusty mag light and searched some more. But it was all to no avail. Jack Bauer's "24" season four, disc 1, was MIA: missing in action... Of course it had to be the first disc to be missing because if disc five were gone, I'd be watching Jack torture some chinesse guy to find out information pertienent to saving the United States from utter chaos and mass causilties. What are the odds of buying a DVD set and it's missing the DVD... Aparently, I'm driving to dothan tommorow, but sleeping tonight. Anyways, somehow it has become the middle of September. My life has been rather stagnant, despite drowning in blessings; I am in need of revival. I spent the last part of my summer in Houston, Texas at my cousin's catholic wedding. I've come away with two major observations from that. First, Catholisim in general is no less than a cult on the level of mormons and jehova witnesses (The no lie prayed to a statue of mary.) Second, my summer reading project was Dan Brown's Davinci Code, really not that great of a peice of literature with the foucs being mainly on feminism and sex, but if from a catholic perspective only I can not fault Dan Brown with his thoughts on the "church" and "Catholic Christ." The wedding was intresting though, I was really tempted to tell the priest that he had a lovely statue of Jesus' wife... and then I went to Iowa, not to be mistaken with heaven. Spent time with my mom mainly watching "24" which was cool, but spent alot of time at the hosptial because my step dads mom was seeminly near death; she has gotten a bit better. But God let me minister to my Mom when she was in great need of me being there. Then back to Georgia to play electrician for a day, then 2 day vaction with dad, stepmom and lil sis kelsy in sky valley, Gerogia, then taking a nice drive over to northern south carolina (Green Sea) to visit old youth pastor for a few days with friends, and finally, capping the summer off with a pit stop in atlanta to catch a braves game (caught bp hr, got on big screen, and was on the espn,tbs highlight reels.) 1 summer, 3 continents, 11 states... bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep (24 ticking clock)......
