I was "snookered" into renewing Sirius Satellite radio....I got a good deal.
I listen to all sorts of music. I was listening to "Sirius 66" The worship channel.
I heard this group Tenth Avenue North. The song was Hold My Heart. Great song.
I liked it so I downloaded the album on my Rhapsody and finally got a chance to listen to the whole record. Great!
There is a song on the record called By Your Side. It BLEW me away.
check it out.....and check out the lyrics.
Lyrics to By Your Side :
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life I want to give you life(Chorus 2x)
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you I'll never let you go

John Hughes
"Bueller....Ferris Bueller...." Ben Stein said it best...
John Hughes - one of my favorite directors died today in my favorite city.
He passed away of a heart attack.
He was an awesome director. His movies speak for themselves so I won't try to write about how great they were.
Even though many of the most popular movies he directed were in the 80's, I can still watch most today and be transformed to when I first saw them.

The Many Faces of BRONCKHORST
The Many Faces of BRONCKHORST
I was driving on the I-310 in Luling (Louisiana) and saw a Boars Head Provisions Truck. I didn’t think much of it but as I was exiting off of the interstate, I happen to look at the side of the truck. The word BRONCKHORST jumped out at me like Jaws in Jaws 3-D. I couldn’t read the rest of the writing because I was exiting and the truck wasn’t.
That word stuck in my mind.
I figured it was something to do with meat because I thought that Boars Head was a meat company of some sort.
The more I thought about the word, it drove me crazy. So I had to do a Google search on it.
This is what I found:
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is a soccer player....he has his own web site: http://www.giovanbronckhorst.com/
Bronckhorst is also a municipality in Gelderlan, the Netherlands : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronckhorst
and it is on a web site that I can't read : http://www.bronckhorst.nl/
There is an Indonesia Entrepreneur named Anantya Van Bronckhorst : http://www.linkedin.com/pub/anantya-van-bronckhorst/3/737/738
Rudyard Kipling (he wrote The Jungle Book and Captains Courages) wrote The Bronckhorst Divorce-case: http://www.readprint.com/work-4291/The-Bronckhorst-Divorce-Case-Rudyard-Kipling
I could not find anything about Meat or food having to do with Bronckhorst so I went to the Boars Head Provision web site.
Which is also a part of the FRANK BRUNCKHORST CO LLC.
SO THE WORD ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS NOT BRONCHORST, IT WAS BRUNCKHORST.
OH WELL, I LEARNED A FEW THINGS ABOUT BRONCKHORST.

No is the Universal Language
Today, I ate Chinese food with my buddy Lariesha. I cracked open the fortune cookie at the end - hoping for that next "great piece of advice" and wham! NOTHING...No cheap - two bit fortune on that little strip of paper.
I actually made a loud noise when nothing appeared. If more people would have been in the dining hall, I may have had some on lookers.
Anyway, after asking the "can hardly speak English (WHICH I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH AT ALL...I AM ACTUALLY AMAZED AT HOW PEOPLE MAKE IT IN OUR COUNTRY WHILE NOT SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE - I AM IMPRESSED!) waitress for a go box (I had to bring my one shrimp and 2 onion slices back to the office for an afternoon snack) I asked her if it meant something special since I didn't get a fortune in my cookie.
She said with a smile...."NO"

Fortune Cookie Logic
These are some of the recent "fortunes" we took from the Chinese Fortune Cookie.
"Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak."
AND
"Don't stop dreaming, otherwise sleep will get awfully boring."
Have you ever thought about the fortune cookie?
I really have not.
I don't really eat them, however the ones we had at Bamboo Garden in Boutte (LA) last Friday night were actually good.
Anyway, I did a little reading...(no wonder it takes me forever to read a book - i read too much other stuff).
Here are some links:
