I HATE spam.

I know you do to. Here's a recent facebook note I wrote.

----------------------

I am also beginning to hate facebook spam. This note is about spam in general.

I hate it.
I do.
I'm sorry.
I know some of you love it.
Not me, I hate it.

"What's your definition of spam?" You might ask.

Thanks for asking.

Spam = anything that is used in anyway to advertise/promote anything (including it's self) = this can include, but is not limited to, patriotism, faith, feel-good moosh, hair growth products, or chain letters.
or on facebook, anything that could be described as "nick-knacky stuff" (ie: stickers, flair, hugs, kisses, crap like that, iq tests, relative requests)

I would say anything that is sent in bulk, however there are rare occasions when bulk is better. Not to go off on a tangent or anything, but here are my 2 rules for sending any digital message in bulk.
1. It has to be ABOUT you or someone you know personally.
2. It has to be for me. It can also be for others, but it CANNOT be for everyone you have an address for.

Back to the subject at hand: Spam.
I will not read it. I will not accept it. I will not pass it on.

Now you might be thinking, "Wait, all that nick-knacky stuff is what facebook is all about."

Not for me. I'm in it to keep in touch with my friends and family. See their pictures and videos, and show them mine. Not that other crap. I tried a few of them right at first, but they we're a big waste of my time.

Sorry.
Taylor

PS. Now, pass this note on to 20 of your friends or the devil will git ya.

Can I get a witness?

Like everyone else in the world, I've been busy.

Like you care, or even read this blog...

None the less, I'm back, and what better subject to get back into "it" with than Tiffany?

Tiffany has gotten in to this thing called the Grocery Game. I don' t know much about it, cause I'm trying to stay far, far away. I do know however, it's some kind of subscription to online coupons and advice for buying groceries. Lots of people here in Bham do it. Some "expert" lady somewhere has developed the greatest money saving formula and schedule....blah, blah, blah. We'll just say, you subscribe to the services of this website, and the said website helps you save tons on groceries.

Now, if you know my wife, you know this kind of thing isn't really "her bag baby." Well you would have thought that before, and if you would have thought that (as I did) you would have been wrong. Super wrong. Since starting this thing she's saved more money than she's spent. I think. Last week she spent $12 and saved $36. That's $48 worth of groceries for $12. And as you can see from the following picture, today she spent $35 and saved $43. My mother will be so jealous.

Congratulations to my wife, who is smarter than I am.

What are your's?

Good Friday

We're doing some creative brainstorming for next years camp theme. One idea I keep trying to shove down everyone else's throat it, "GOOD." So this morning I read MK's blarg. On Fridays he does this one question thing. He asks a question and want's people to answer the question in their comments. Michael's smart, he gets it. I suggest you RSS his blarg.

ANYWAYS, today's question was "What makes today 'Good Friday' for you?"

This got me thinking again about the word Good again, and since this is my blarg, I thought I'd copy/paste my answer here:

The word good gets a bum wrap.

It's like people think it means "better than ok" or "above average." But when God looked at his creation his comment was, "It is good."

It's like a cool, calm way to say really incredible.

I love that we call it Good Friday, instead of Amazing Friday or Incredible Friday. What happened was amazing and incredible but those words are just a little silly to use when describing it.

It's almost like the word good is used when what's being described is expected to be awesome. And we use those dramatic words like amazing when we're surprised about something's greatness.

Genesis just wouldn't read the same if when God looked at His creation he had said, "It is incredible." No kidding it's incredible, it's creation. So since he wasn't surprised at how awesome His creation was he was just stating the facts, "It's good."

Good Friday is just that. It's good. It's real good.
