“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”
Sydnie and I like to watch television on Saturday mornings. It is a way for us relax together. One of our favorite shows is Flip This House, soon to become The Real Deal with Richard Davis. Richard and his crew are funny to watch and really provide great insights into how a team can work together, especially under pressure. There is so much friction within the team sometimes, but they use that fraction as traction to get the job done. I really enjoy their candid personalities.
At the end of this morning’s show Richard talked about how the friendship between his team is more important than they money that they would make. On the show they were about to start making a $10,000 a month payment on a beach house that they were hoping to break even on. You can tell that these guys know how to work hard, but more importantly they know how to play hard.
Have you ever put other things before your relationships with your friends? Do you have relationships in your live that can withstand a little heat and friction? What do you do to play hard with your friends?
The Samsung has been working overtime today. I have watched The Invasion, The Brave One, Eastern Promises, and Lost today. Sayid was on killing spree this week. We know that he has gotten off of the island, but what is he doing?
The Invasion was interesting. A zombie film without zombies. Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets War of the Worlds with a Shaun of the Dead ending.
The Brave One was a good film and it had Naveen Andrews from Lost in it. Jodie Foster has definitely developed a pattern for taking roles of a strong female with no romantic interest in the film. She gets close in this one, but Andrews character dies so early in the film. I thought the best thing about the film was Terrence Howard’s character. Howard is a detective investigating the murders perpetrated by Foster’s character. Howard is a great actor with an amazing range.
I just popped Blade Runner into the DVD player. I hope to get it in before Sydnie gets home. She doesn’t really like this genre.
So what did you guys think about this week’s episode of Lost? Did you pick up any new clues? Have any good theories?
Four hours of Lost in one week. Yeah baby. I found out tonight that Dan Hobbs and Rich Johnson are both huge Lost fans. Sounds like we need to get a watch party together friends. Anybody else out there watch the show? What are you doing on Thursday nights?
I am totally excited. I got home tonight and Sydnie told me that there were two new episodes of Chuck on TV tonight. Yeah boy. The fireplace is roaring, the Salted/Cracked Pepper popcorn is popping, and the TV is glowing.
I started watching Rob and Big a while back. Their friendship is so incredible. Two guys who seem so different and yet have such a great time together. They are really doing life together and loving ever minute of it.
It is making me think about the significant friendships that I have in my life right now. I have distanced myself from the friends that I had in Edmond. My friend Craig and I meet on a mission trip to Mexico and became quick friends. He had a son that was about 6 six years younger than me, but our interests were the same and our outlook in ministry was the same. We started a men’s Bible study together in a car shop and saw some men grow in our group. He loved to laugh and liked to rock. I really miss Craig. Because Craig’s wife wouldn’t let him move to Tulsa, I am now taking applications for a new best friend. If your interested please submit your application to me via email.
Seriously though, tell me about the significant friendships you have in your life right now and how these relationships are making you a better person and/or helping you develop in your relationship with God.
