I love stories like this.
Video: My Hope is in you, Aaron Shust
One of my readers asked me what the difference is between a Hope and a Dream. I think this explains it best, at least for me. Enjoy.
Video: Arise My Love by Newsong
Friendship, Hope, Music and Talent. Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli WOW
Move over Pavarotti and Susan Boyle — what an amazing story of friendship, self-esteem, and hope. Watch this to the end. This young duo brought the Britain’s Got Talent audience to their feet and it moved me to tears.
Friday Funny: A Cyclist Says What?
DISCLAIMER: Loyal readers, you KNOW I like to poke fun of just about everything. I mean I once wrote a humorist rant about sedation gynecology (still think it’s a good idea if for no other reason it keeps me from saying something stupid to my doctor like “Oh that’s so gonna cost you a roofie.”) so you KNOW nothing is off-limits for my warped mind. I love my new bike, I love the adventure. And like everything else I love, I love to poke fun.Most of my cycling rants are very much tongue in cheek – if by some small chance a REAL cyclist reads my blog – cut me some slack kay? TY
A local cycling enthusiast posted this on Twitter today for levity sake I’m sure. The first time I watched it, my brain started to freeze up. That’s a lot of new words. The second time I watched it, I laughed. Dear Readers: Please promise that if I become like the guys in this video you will slap me, kay?
I’ve learned four words in the last two months. I know Carbon, Kit, Toe Clips, and trainer (Which isn’t a bra by the way). Those are the only cycling related words I know right now. I’m happy with those words. Carbon means a really light frame, a kit is what I need if I get a flat (unlike my car, my bike doesn’t come with AAA), Toe Clips are the sadomasochistic buggers attached to the pedals that tried to kill me, and the trainer is a metal contraption used to lock your bike in place while riding indoors – kind of like Madonna’s bras back in the 80’s?
A lot of cyclers do speak about “Spin Classes” and somehow I don’t think it has anything to do with yarn. One guy twittered about doing 20 miles in an hour at a spin class with his wife. I’m an ADD redhead, I have been spinning at 90 to nothing my whole life. 20 miles does not sound impressive. I’m kidding. Okay so I understand FIVE words. Yeah me!
I have only two a few questions:
- Is fartlicking anything like what the boys learned how to do that one late night while at church camp?
- Does it involve bic lighters and a dark room?
- Is “peaking too early” really a phrase guys want to be using in public?
- What is”Bonking?” It sounds like one of those words you don’t want your mother to know, you know?
If you don’t ride or do triathlons you won’t understand these words either, but enjoy the video anyway kay? Have a great weekend y’all!
Hallelujah Chorus – Quinhagak, Alaska
I’ve seen the flash mobs, the bottle players, and the monks, but I’ve never seen this one before. A friend sent me this video from the small Yupiq Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska. It was a school computer project intended for the other Yupiq villages in the area. It’s already received almost a million hits. I think it’s cute. Hope you like it.
I have a Speech Impediment: Totally Like Whatever, you know?
Speak with conviction…. it’s not enough to question authority, we need to speak with it. – Taylor Mali
I’m taking a writing course right now on finding my writers voice and I love it. What I find interesting is that while people will tell me to write like I speak, I’d rather not. I shared with the group that I speak with a lilt a lot of the time. Meaning when I’m feeling insecure in my surroundings, which is more often than not, I use more of an interrogative tone than an authoritative one. I also abuse commas and semicolons.
This particular speech impediment is not caused by growing up in the 80’s. Nor is it from some physical attribute such as a cleft palate. No. My speech impediment comes from fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of disagreement. Fear of being thought too forceful, too opinionated, too much, or perhaps too little. I am over coming that one truth at a time.
I discovered Taylor Mali this summer and have fallen head over heals in love with this man’s writing and his delivery. His use of humor and poetry to run home strong truths is like you know, awesome?
Enjoy.
