Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burnin', burnin', burnin'

FOXNews.com - Foxlife - SpongeBob Accused of Promoting Homosexuality

Okay. Now look. Everyone needs to settle down. Spongebob is a CARTOON. Gimme a break.

Y'know, it's people like this that make people like me look bad. Please please please don't lump me in with these folks. Please.

I thought he was saying good luck...

yes, okay, so i misspoke.

In my last post, I said, "24 is the best show on TV, ever."

I was drunk on the season 3 finale adrenaline rush. yes, I love 24 more than any show that's currently on.

But what I truly meant to say, yea and verily, was, "24 is the best show on TV after the X-files."

Because nothing will ever replace the X-Files for me ever. ever.

There. I said it.

It's 1:30 and I'm fighting sleep. I'm trying to work on hammering out a new press kit for tomorrow... sounds like we're going to have some pretty big industry heavyweights at the show tomorrow. So i want to be prepared. Problem is, every time I *have* to get something done for an important event, my computer decides not to cooperate with me, and a task that should take 1 hour ends up taking all day. Ugh.

Hopefully that won't happen, because i'm on my mac. Hopefully my mac feels my warm and fuzzy vibes towards it, and it's going to love me back. We shall see.

My PC is shot. I'm at the point right now where I can't do anything at ALL with it. It won't go to secure websites. It won't open any of my word documents. It won't autorun when I want to install a CD. It won't do windows update because I'm mysteriously missing .dll files. I have always wondered how .dll files suddenly decide to go AWOL? And where do they go? Are they with my missing socks that disappear in the dryer? Is it dryer or drier? Dryer looks right.

Golly ned, I need to go to sleep.

Good night, fair chickens.

I am loopy.

We just got home from Fredericksburg, where we did an interview at KFAN to promote this weekend's show in Fredericksburg (more on that in a second). While we were there, we reminisced with Jay Fritz, the owner, about playing for KFAN for the first time on their "Bandera Music Hour" show 4 years ago. We played at this dive of a place in Bandera (well, that narrows it down, doesn't it?) on a Saturday afternoon to 4 people. And yet, that was how KFAN first picked us up, started playing our songs, and thus got much of our following. Who knew that Bandera would be the jumping-off place for so many of our dreams? I was driving around the other day, listening to the radio, and I was reminded (and humbled at the same time) again what an absolute honor it is to be able to be played for the world, sandwiched in between musical legends, masters of the craft, people who have inspired me. What a gift. I never dreamed that, as a college student, struggling to learn chords on my guitar, devouring every Shawn Colvin record and longing to *be* what she represented to me, I'd have the privilege of being heard alongside her and her peers.

I read a quote today that hit home: "The chief cause of unhappiness is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment." How many times do we set our dreams aside for something that, while it may be good, may not be God's *best* for us? How many times do we let fear keep us from accomplishing what we really have always wanted to do? My favorite saying of all time is, "Jump, and the net will appear." David and I are living proof of that truth. It really is possible to do what you know you were really, truly created to do. Don't let fear hold you back. I was so very "Much-Afraid" when we first started this whole venture, but it has been so cool to watch the whole thing unfold. Be encouraged. Your heart's desire is your heart's desire for a reason.

So we just finished up with 24 Season 3. Omigosh. That show is like heroin. Freaking heroin. We have the first 4 hours of the new season Tivo'd and I can't wait. Jack Bauer is hardcore. I love him. 24 is the best show on TV, ever.

Well, I'm off to bed.

Word up....
