Trinity’s World

If I can just take a second to be completely self-indulgent and say I’M GOING TO BE ON TV THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

For those of you who have Dish Network (Like my parents) here are the times that you can catch Split Ends on the Style network. The same episode will be re-aired a few times if you can’t catch any then you must not have cable (like me).

June 23: 3:00AM, 3:00PM

June 24: 11:00AM, 7:00PM, 10:00PM

Come see me play guitar, and my wife sing, with the Belles of Bedlam. The girl we met was Heather Mills, and she was really cool. She worked at a place called Curl Up and Die, a salon in Las Vegas that mainly has a biker chick clientele. She swapped places with a stylist from Beverly Hills. Reality TV at it’s finest.

OK, dust the cob webs out all you closet theologins. Here is a quiz to see who you are most like in your theological ways. Here is what I scored:

You scored as Anselm, Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man’s primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due. You should read ‘Cur Deus Homo?’ Anselm 80% John Calvin 73% Friedrich Schleiermacher 53% Jürgen Moltmann 53% Martin Luther 47% Paul Tillich 47% Karl Barth 40% Jonathan Edwards 40% Augustine 33% Charles Finney 33% Which theologian are you? created with QuizFarm.com

And, I must give credit where it is due. I found this on dsimple’s blog. Click here to view her original post.

So I found a new Theme for my website. I know, for some people this is an everyday occurrence. Some people change their theme every time their mood changes in a day. I am not one of these people. I really like my old theme, but I wanted something different. I saw this on has two sidebars to keep my widgets in, so I went with it to see if it functioned a little more friendly than my last theme. And, true to form, while it does not look as cool it does seem to easier to interface with.

There are some new things happening, aside from the theme change. In another theme change of sorts my wife and I are looking at having a Kid. Well, that not a change, we’ve been “talking” about it for a while. But now we are actually taking steps forward in that endeavor. And before your dirty minds start to get ahead of me, I’m talking about getting into a semi-responsible place in our lives before we bring a child into this world. I’m now in a place at my job where we are not going to have to not pay bills in order to pay other bills, rotating them out each month. We will actually be able to make rent, and bill, and still be able to get luxurious items such as food for us to eat, and gas to make the car go to work, without having to skip any of these important items. Now that I’m past my probation at work, I get health care that I don’t have to pay for out of my paycheck.

So are plan thus far looks like this. My wife has been struggling to find a job for over a year and a half now. Now she does not HAVE to get a job for us to survive. But if she gets a job we can afford to do things like pay off credit card debt, put money in saving, and treat ourselves every now and again to special things like gifts for Birthdays (also a new thing to us) and dinner at a nice restaurant every so often. And, we have learned how to live on less than our budget requirements, so we can do all of these things at once and not go any further into debt. So if my wife can find a job, our goal will be to get our debt paid off, get her health insurance, and get her pregnant. We hope this can happen in the next year. So, yeah for us!

Another change is that I’m taking a fresh look at my fantasy story I’ve been writing, and trying to rewrite it from a different perspective. This is different than the other times I’ve started over, because the story plot line is still intact but will be told form a different point of view. I just kept finding a whole bunch of characters that I really loved were stealing the spot light from the main character. I’m going to focus it a little bit, write the story arch about her first, and then add more about the other characters latter IF AND ONLY IF it furthers the story.

So lots of change is happening. Well, for me it’s a lot of change. After all I like to keep things predictable, and anytime things start to move quickly I get a little uncomfortable. But right now the pace is fairly steady, but no so fast I can’t see what is ahead of me. I like that.

OK, so those of you who know me know that I can have my moments of extreme dedication and fanaticism (I’m a reactionary by nature, what can I say). I have listened to a pod cast on iTunes for a while that one of them members of my favorite Ren Faire Group does. It’s call “The Angry Folk Music and Infantile Humor Show,” and it’s a lot of fun.

Why do I bother bringing it up? Because I came home the other day from work and found my wife listening to the latest pod cast that had downloaded to my iTunes (God bless automation, I’d have to work otherwise). She looked up at me and said, “This is funny, you have to hear this.” I looked at my wife in shock. I obliged her, of course, and sat down and listened to episode 7 of the show. Latter she made a statement that she liked it and thought it was really funny. That is when I said, “But when I played the first episode for you, you told me you did not like it.” Her response was classic. “Once I got past the intro for the first show, I was good.

The show opens up with the same theme song, like most shows, but has a different tune that the worlds are sung to for each episode. The first one was sung to a series of fart and belch sounds that were all musical in nature. Once my wife got past that, she was good.

So, if you are not easily offended, and you have a sense of humor, or you are a fan of the “World Famous, Poxy Boggards,” or the “Globally Renowned Merry Wives of Windsor,” give this pod cast a listen. And give the a 5 star review while your at it :). This addvertisment has been in no way authorized by Trim, Pecker, and Balls Shipping and Holding (mostly holding). Thank you.
