Lazy Tuesday

Today's Life Lesson: Avoid the mall at all possibe.

Exceptions duly noted are as follows: Chic-fil-a, Sbarro, Panda Express (or any chinese chain)

My exception was the chinese chain. What a glorious meal it was...once I left the mall.

Friday one of my best buds is getting married and I can't wait! Once Thursday is here the festivities will start and it will be a blast! Then heading to Chicago w/ the other roomies for the weekend. Rockin'!

Here is a lovely picture of the family from a few weeks ago. Supurb.

Summer's almost over

There is now a piano here. A keyboard of sorts. And I will try my lack of skills with it and see if I can't make some decent sound come from it.

Let's talk food. Tipping, for example.

I strongly encourage at LEAST 15% when you tip. Common courtesy is actually now 18%. There is nothing quite as devastating to the soul then a flat 10% tip when there was absolutely nothing wrong with your dining experience.

If anything, be sure to be as kind to your server as they are (or may not be) to you. You may have their tip, but they have your food. :) Not that I would ever do anything. I just hear about these things... haha.

After this Battlestar Galactica time I think I will try for an evening run. They've proven beneficial for me in more ways than one.

Libraries. They are beyond interesting. Don't you love working at a job where the people coming up to ask you a question know just about as much as you do on the subject? That's the best part about new jobs. People are trusting and position is everything. As long as I don't let on - we're all golden.

One last tangent. Transformers 2.

I saw it at midnight Saturday night. Golden. I loved it. Go see it. You may not love it. That's okay. It is truly epic in so many ways. Fantastic story development and new exciting characters. NOT TO MENTION the fighting scenes are off the chain.

Love it. Embrace it. Pass it on.

Next in the running... one of my best friends, Lee, is getting marred on Friday and I can't wait! After that - Chicago for the weekend. Still don't even have a place to stay or plans for what on earth we'll be doing there. Then West Virginia w/ the youth group for a rafting trip!

Time is going too fast...if you're reading this, go spend some quality time doing something. Read, run, talk...then get some sleep. If tomorrow comes, it will come quickly so be ready.

Bye for now.

Back to California!

We're almost there already! Katie and I are road tripping home to California. She'll be there for at least the summer and I'll be flying back to Louisville next week.

We made it from Louisville to Kansas City on Monday night. KC to Albuquerque yesterday, and today the home stretch! See ya in L.A.!

Red River Gorge!

Earlier this week I got to take a few days off and head east to Red River Gorge with my roomie Tony and good friend Jason. We spend two days hiking and one night camping there. We had an awesome time! Thankfully no one died, though we did have some sweet climbs at different points.

Enjoy some of the shots!

Summer Sessions

Despite jobs and responsibilities...one of my goals for the summer is...music!

The first step of music for my summer took place this past Monday night. The evening was spent w/ my friends Kristen and Byron. Kristen plays keyboard and plays a major vocal role in Aletheia and has become a good friend of mine because of it.

We have tons of ideas... we did our first cover of a Yellowcard song and produced a fine recording! Hopefully I'll be getting pictures and sound clips up over time.

You can hear our first track here ----> http://virb.com/danwebb

Stay tuned!!! :D

Now we need a band name... thoughts?

The Zombie Apocalypse

I have some terms that need defining. Recently (and by recently I mean over the past few months...) those I live with and myself have established common themes to our lives. Some have considered this strange, and others, pure genius.

Here are the two terms.

1. The Shire
(pronounced shy-er)
Definition: The dwelling place of the hobbits.

The hobbits are as follows:
Pippin (Antonio Loseto)
Merry (Matthew Riddle)
Samwise (Christopher Garner)
Frodo (Daniel Webb)

Many a great memory has come from The Shire. From zombie movies (see below), to one of our 7 video game systems, to dumping snow on Frodo while he is in the shower, there is never a dull moment here where sleep is scarce and salmon are always on the grill (thanks to Pippin).

2. Zombie Apocalypse
(pronounced Zaum-bee Ah-pock-ah-lips)
Definition: The day the world ends and zombies freely frolic in the open fields.

One tradition of the shire is to watch zombie movies. We have watched our fair share (though there are still more yet to be seen!) and are fully prepared for any potential attack. The Shire is equipped with cricket bats, drum sticks, scary masks, golf clubs, and other blunt objects one can use in self-defense against the potential zombies.

Moving on to the real world... finals have come and gone. This blog will now be filled with pictures, thoughts, and happenings of the summer of 2009. Enjoy. :)

Yours truly,
Frodo

Whoops, has it been a while?

Discipline...

I have realized lately that everyone has busy schedules. We all have the next thing to do. We all are waiting for specific things to come along to fill our time slots throughout the week. We have different hobbies and interests to put whatever extra time we might have in.

I have realized that discipline doesn't just mean turning down the extra things in life you seriously just do not have time for. You could have the lightest schedule in the world and still be undisciplined. Its all about what you do with whatever time you have. Are things in their proper order, etc. Especially in light of the cross.

I have had at least one test/paper due each week for the last 3 weeks. And next week is the same story. What is going on!?!?!

Oh well, this is where I am so this is where I am. God grant me discipline because I lack so much.
