Live your theology.

While I was in Portland I went out to dinner at a place called Jake’s Famous Crawfish.

This was a nice place with good (sea)food. The menu had a ton of different types of fish, etc. but was a bit on the pricy side (for me anyhow). I’d compare it to The Lobster Shop on Ruston Way, but about $5 per item more expensive.

I’ve never ordered lobster at a restaurant before. They had some lobster flown in from Main & some flow in from Australia for about $30. Most of the menu items were around $20 so it wasn’t that far off price wise – but since the meal was on the company, I didn’t want to be the guy who ordered lobster on someone else’s dime. I ordered the etouffe. The food came served in a mini cauldron – which was kind of weird but made me seem important, so that’s nice. It tasted great.Big prawns, chicken, & crawfish. Not as good as the etouffe at From the Bayou but pretty darn good.

So someone broke into my car last night by shattering the front driver side window. Aside from the $100 it will cost to fix the window they left with…

Peter’s Band of Brother’s DVD (I’ll get you a new one)

My baseball bag (a gift from Mark) containing:

2 wooden baseball bats
1 aluminum softball bat
13 softballs
5 baseballs
2 pairs of batting gloves
1 pair of wrist sweat bands
1 roll of batting tape
1 stick of pine tar
1 bat weight
1 Mizuno Outfielder’s glove
1 Rawling Bruce Sutter glove (my first glove given to me by Unlce Mike!)

I feel bad about the gloves & what not because they have some sentimental value to them. I feel worse the person(s) who stole it. That list looks quasi-impressive, but nothing on it is even remotely worth an eternity facing the wrath of God…

1st Corinthians 6:9-10
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

This article features one of the greatest quotes of all time:

“Yes, I am qualified to beat people up.”

Superb. I want to find out how I can become qualified to beat people up. Wearing copious amounts of gold isn’t enough. I’m thinking there’s a test. You’d have to be able to take on at least three stock bad guys (not ninjas) at once. During the course of the fight you’d receive bonus points for smashing two people’s heads together. If you prove able to lift an attacker over your head and hurl them into some sort of breakable object (like say a wetbar or a table) then you pass instantly.

Is there anyway you would omit that you reached “beat people up” qualification from your resume? At that point they’d be too scared *not* to hire you.
