Call me crazy but...

does anyone else see a strange resemblance between Cindy Lou Who (from: How The Grinch Stole Christmas) and Spencer Pratt?

A prayer I hope to start each day with:

Each morning that greets me is full of hope
Not because I am successful at what I am doing,
Or because the people near me appreciate me,
Or because circumstances are easy,
But because God is, and he is my Father.
To look at the morning any other way
Is to believe a lie.
To live in hope is to live in truth;
To live in truth is to bring him glory;
To bring God glory in my daily living
Is the highest form of worship.

MTV, you are not my friend, except when The Hills is on.

I am a product of the MTV generation. Even though it no longer plays music, except during the previews of another show, it is still called MTV. That point aside, I can tell I am getting older because I now see why MTV is not popular with the older folk. I stopped watching MTV religiously about a couple years ago, I am no longer interested in the types of shows they play, except for The Hills, but we won't go there. I think the shows are tasteless and very non-interesting. Let me give you a scenario:

I share an apartment with my sister, and when we aren't talking to each other or the dogs we leave the Living Room TV on just so there is some sort of noise in the apartment. (We are not a fan of silence.) Anyway, as I was making lunch in our kitchen today I turned on the TV, which just so happened to be left on MTV from last nights "The Hills", and a show called Exiled was on. Let me give you a summary of the show if you have not heard of it. They take kids who are a product of famous rich parents and send them to 3rd world countries as a form of punishment for their selfishness. Anyone else see something wrong with that? MTV is making a show out of punishing a bratty kid by surrounding them with people who are less fortunate than they are. I am all for going to other countries and spending time with them to help and get to know the people but why should it be viewed as a form of punishment. I wish I could go to another country and help serve others and these ungrateful children get to go and we get to watch them complain. Ridiculous. They wouldn't be bratty in the first place if you didn't give them everything they wanted!

I am not sure if you agree with me or not, but you should just because I took the time to type this out. No, but in all seriousness does anyone else find this stupid. MTV needs to come up with better shows, and I am not talking about another season of Paris Hilton's My BFF.

Case Closed.

Keeping Austin Weird.

This weekend I went down to the Pecan Street Festival with John and Jessica. The festival is held on 6th street and pretty much brings out all the weirdos in Austin, I love it.

We started off parking in a garage that spelled like one giant toilet, but it was only $5 so thats okay. Later when we were leaving I had to get John to reverse my car out of my spot in fear of hitting a BMW that parked too close to me...Thanks Beemer.

Here are some pictures from the fesitval. I should have taken pictures of all the nasty food we allowed ourselves to eat while spending 3 hours down there. Cheesecake on a stick, Roasted Corn, Sushi, Funnel Cake and Bratwurst. Beer was consumed by John and Jess and I drank waaaay too much water. Blah.





This is a picture of a couple playing the Saxophone in front of the Driskill Hotel.



Jessica was brave, I stood on the other side of the street but only got close to take this picture. In my mind I saw the snake leaping off the guys neck and latching on to my face, very unlikely but whatever.



This guy was giving out Free Hugs, I don't know about you but I only like to hug people that I can see their faces. He could be on the FBI's most wanted website and you would never know.



Even though I have been boycotting Porta-Potties since 1984 I am in love with these things. I didn't get any closer to them than what you can see from this picture but if I did have to use an outdoor facility this would be my first choice. They are so cute, I just don't picture what goes on behind their closed doors.



The NBA Playoffs on a big screen in the middle of downtown...only in Austin.



If I rode bikes I would want one of these. However, I would be afraid that if I fell off of it I would land on someone's head. That could be awkward...or deadly.



Me, John and Jessica by the end of the evening.



Goodnight Austin.
