When I was doing 100 pushups a day I was doing 25, then waiting an hour doing another 25 and so one. I got to where I could do 30 no problem. Someone who is a bit of a fitness buff and hangs out at Deebe's said that was not doing anything past getting me to wear I could do 25 pushups at once. She suggested doing 30 pushup, 30 sit-ups, 30 pushup, 30 sit-ups, 30 pushup, 30 sit-ups, without stopping. She told me this like two months ago, and I have not really worked out in that time. Last week I did here plan but sets of 10 instead of 30. Today I did sets of 20. I reached complete muscle failure a couple of times. It sucked.

One of the Pastors at my Church told me I needed to get a soft air bb gun as there is a small group of people at church who have gotten into shooting each other with them. I got a Smith & Wesson 1911. It is a 45 claiber. I don't know what that means. I went to my friend James house this weekend and showed it to him. While he was looking at it I bent down to pick something up of the floor and he says he shot me in the chest. Eaither he did not cock the gun correctly or the aim was bad and the bb glanced of my t shirt becuse I did not feel it. So, noticeing I did not feel it he shot me in the forehead from t feet away. I felt that. It made my eye water. I have a scar that looks like a devil horn poping up from my head.

Tommarrow I have a interview with the the teacher of the Chaplincy class. He is also the Pastor that said I had to get a bb gun. This is the last step of the process.

Die Bug Die

I saw the movie Starship Troopers. I really did not like it. I don't like war movies to begin with. I like insects and the humans are killing them in this movie, so that is bad too. Really, the characters were uninteresting and you really did not care what happened to them. I did like the old style propaganda film short about the war that they had. But that's about it. 2 Fingers.

Summer Slam

My little cousins slept over on Sat. My cousin Katie found my wallet. It was in my car on the floor of the passenger front side. Not under the seat. I checked my car turoughly. I don't know how I get by.

Every mouth WWE has a PPV. I have a list of people that send me their picks for the matches on the card. I then add the parentages for the correct picks on the current PPV, correct picks in the past year, and correct picks for all time. This time around, for the first time since I start taking picks and keeping track three years ago, someone got the picks 100% correct.

And, that person was me.

It's like Christmas, but you get to blow stuff up!

I woke up today at 3:15 P.M.

I cut the grass. Then I picked up my friend James. I did not have Chaplaincy tonight.

We went to the dollar store. I love that place. I don't know why I EVER shop anywhere else. I got two great big containers of Hawaiian Punch for a dollar each. Not a dollar fifty nine like most dollar stores. Then we went to Comix Corner where I picked up my funny books, and the then we ate at Mongolian Buffet. I love that place. All you can eat for one low price. We then went back to his house and threw some trash on the dash.

If anyone knows where my wallet is, please tell me.

The power of stink

So I get home from work Friday, do my push ups, take off my shirt to change and notice that I stink! Turns out that my deodorant is the same color and the plastic underneath the stick of actual deodorant. So I was out but did not know it. Who crappy idea was it to color the plastic that way?

As I have said on here before I love to cook. But I got this real crappy set of measuring spoons/cups. There is like only seven in the whole set, so I have to scoop stuff twice or try to eyeball half of a scoop sometime. I have not had the money to get a real good set, money is tight. But the other day I found a great set of measuring spoons I forgot I had. There were RIGHT NEXT to the set I use all the time. This is like MOUNTHS I have been waiting a new set. I completely forgot I had this set. I clearly cannot be held accountable for any of my actions.

The power in my neighborhood got knocked out last night so I did not wake up in time for church this morning.

The Punisher

So Monday I took my mom out for lunch for her birthday. We were talking, and I recalled a story. When I was about 3 or 4, my family were with my uncle Fred on his house boat. He really is not my uncle, it is just what we called him when we were little. So we were somewhere and Fred's son Dennis, my sister, and myself are playing in the water. In that playing I almost drowned. And I remember having a mental picture of the water running over my head. Then my Dad jumped in the water and saved me. That is how i remember it. But my Mom says this is what really happened. The water got deep fast. And I just walked out without stopping till the water was over my head. Then I stopped because i really could not walk anymore. My Aunt Karen, (again not my real Aunt but Fred's wife) just reached in and pulled me out. My Mom was freaking out because I had almost died from phnouma when i was six months old so she was a little over protective of me. Karen told her that it was ok, and she was over reacting as they were right there and i was under for like 5 seconds or less. So I go back and beeline right to where the water is over my head again. Why, because i am a idiot. So Karen has to reach in and save me from my own stupidity again. I remember being under for like, awhile, but i wasn't. And also my Dad did not save me like i remember. Its funny how memories change with time.

I saw the punisher tonight. Very good movie. Four fingers. I like the end, he gets revenge and kills the people who killed his family, and feels no satisfaction from it. He is still empty and hurting. It was a hollow victory. I like that it showed revenge does not salve anything.

Killer Queen

When I was leaving my house on Friday I saw what I belive to be a Queen Ant. Now, the reason this is important is because it is illegal to sell and to ship queens in the U.S. and A. Therefore, if you want to have a ant colony, you have to find your own queen. I belive I have done this. I put her in a cup with cardboard on top and went to work. when I got home she was gone. But I found her. The next morning I went out and got bought some dirt. I heated it in the oven to get rid of mold and parasites, and well, long story short (too late) the queen is not safely in her ant farm.

Jew are you?

I went to the Italian Festival yesterday with people from Deebe's. I have a really good time. I have spaghetti with pocanni or something sauce, some kind of rice with cheese deep fried thing, a real fruit smoothie/slush that was great, the best taramisu I ever had, espresso that was NOT better that Deebe's, and strawberry galatto that was fantastic. I saw so many people I know from Deebe's there.

After the festival we all went to a bar whose name escapes me now. Ryan is leaving for Chicago next week so he invited a bunch of friends to meet us up there. And of course one got too drunk and made a butt of himself. He said the to be a Jew and believe in God was an oxymoron. I do not know where to begin on telling how flawed this statement is. Of course there with us was a person of Jewish descent who is now a believer in Jesus. He did not say anything though, and was really cool about the whole thing. Then the drunk jerk made the most passionate argument about how no one should support/cheer on/rout for a college team unless they went to that college. He was so passionate about this stupid position it was really quite funny.

I collect money. Old money. I have:

1957 One dollar bill
1963 One dollar bill
1988 One dollar bill
1976 Two dollar bill
1995 Two dollar bill
2003 Two dollar bill
1950 Five dollar bill
1995 Five dollar bill
1950 Ten dollar bill
1969 Ten dollar bill
1990 Ten dollar bill
1985 Twenty dollar bill

This is in addition to the room with the pile of my money I have at my bank.

So tonight at Deebe's a girl almost paid for her stuff with TWO 1935 DOLLAR BILLS!! But she noticed them and kept them. I could not persuade her to part with them. If I see them in circulation again I will be angry.

Sue who?

I leave for camp on the 4th. I can not wait.

I had sushi yesterday. $20 is too much for sushi. I wish it was less expensive here. In Hawaii it is really inexpensive.

There really is not much to say.

Pot........., holders........, made of hemp.

98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy and paste this into your journal.

I am 31, so maybe I am to old for that cut and paste, but still.

I was reading www.1wrestling.com yesterday and I came across this. A reader sent in this question. I will bold that interesting part.

In your opinion, which will happen first:
A) Cincinnati Bengals make the playoffs
B) Chris Benoit becomes singles World Champion
C) HHH & Stephanie divorce in real life
D) Vince Russo gets hired as lead writer

Wow, that is a really hard question. All of those things have minimal chances of happening. Benoit has almost no shot. HHH will never leave Steph, and Vince won't let Steph leave HHH. Russo? No way. So I will say that Marvin Lewis will take the Bengals to the playoffs first.

I met Mody when there was a short-media LAN party at Deebe's a couple of mounths ago. He is back in town and I saw him again today. He is one of the most genunlly cool people I have ever met.

I woke up today at 4:59 P.M. My alarm was set to go off at 5:00.

Star wipe, and we're out.

I got up today at 5:00 P.M.

I changed my wiper blades. Boy, my old ones were barely on. All the rubber was hanging off. They were worthless.

I went to my cousins softball game today. I say a gal there who used to go to my church.

Then we all went out and ate at Coney Island, the one on Gratiot and 94.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of NWA:TNA. Jeff Hardy was there. Wow.

Who in the DEVIL are you?

So, about a year and a half ago a guy named Mark worked with me at Deebe's. He had a friend named Scott. Mark went into the military and is in Iraq right now. He left Deebe's in DEC. 2002. I have seen Scott a couple of times since then.

Last week there were a group of really cool people hanging out at Deebe's. When I had closed up, three of them were playing hacky-sack out side. They asked if I wanted to play, and I played with them for about a half hour. When they left I shook their hands and told them how cool they were.

Tonight, Scott came into Deebe's. He is a Christian now. So I was talking with him for about 10 minutes and at the end of the conversation he asked (jokingly) if I wanted to go outside and play hacky-sack, and I kind of chuckled. But then I got to thinking. So I went to his table and asked if I was playing hacky-sack with him last week, AND I WAS!!!!!!! I did not even recognize him then, but I did today. And like he was IN Deebe's last week and it is lit outside. I have no idea how I did not recognize him. I am loosing my mind.

None Like it Hot

I had to cut the grass today. It was way to hot out there. And it is way to hot down here. I live in a freakin' basement and its 75 degrees. I don't think my Grandparents have the central air on.

Monotony Report

My Grandma got me up at 2:00 P.M. today to help in the yard. It was hot. I hate heat. It was sunny. I hate sunlight.

Then I went to my Chaplaincy class and turned in my book report.

I then came home and watched "Signs" with my Grandma and Grandpa (he is actually my step Grandpa, I call him Bert.)

Here now, is my book report:

A Exercise in Monotony

A book report by Noel Reichel



"God @ Work" is a book by Rich Marshall. Rich feels that everyone is called to the ministry, no matter what his or her occupation is, and he feels it very strongly. That is the main point of the book. The author tells us the main point over, and over, and over again.
Rich Marshall uses the first eighteen pages of the book to establish that he will use the term "priest" to mean one anointed for the ministry proper, and the term "king" to mean one anointed for business of some sort outside of the church. He uses the first eighteen pages to tell us this and of course, tell us the main point of the book a couple of times as well.
The rest of the book is a collection of testimonies, stories, and Bible stories to back up his point. There is also the great advice he gives, "We must guard ourselves in the area of moral purity, and from seeking power and position". I have never heard anything remotely close to this, so I cracked my Bible, and lo and behold it is in there. In chapter eight he has this to say, "What I am recommending is that it is wise to obey the Lord in all things he asks of you". I wish he would not be so deep. Here again is ground breaking wisdom. I cannot tell you how many nights I would smoke a joint and read a Hustler and wonder why I was making no spiritual headway in my life, but thanks to this book I realize it is because I did not obey the Lord.
I did enjoy chapter eleven. Chapter eleven is the testimony of Dennis and Megan Doyle, and Megan Doyle wrote it. In it she talks about how her and her husband have used their business as a ministry, and the fruit it has yielded. There was nothing in really mind blowing in this chapter, but it was not written to be included in a book either. I got the feeling it was a letter written to the author and the other included it in his book. The parts about the threefold purpose of their business were probably the most useful and practical parts of the book.
The author certainly did achieve his purpose of declaring that everyone is called to the ministry, and he does it with all the subtlety and finesse of a manic welding a chain saw. He beats you over the head with this bit of information the same way your girlfriend's husband would beat you over the head with a two by four.
I did not find anything really outstanding in his writing style, but really there does not need to be anything outstanding for the concepts he is trying to convey. And maybe it is better this way. Perhaps being less simplistic would hurt the overall intent of the book. So I do believe that the writhing style was effective for the message he was trying to send.
"God @ Work" is the biggest exercise in monotony I have seen since I counted the individual furs on my cat to make sure she was not over shedding. It is not that what the author has to say is not good, it is very good. He just does not need 136 pages to do it in. About 10% of the book is new idea, and the other ninety is just recycling the 10% in new ways.
Although what he has to say is good, it really is not new. I can't imagine anyone who has been a Christian for over a year not to have heard or figured out that they were called to minister to the lost yet. It goes without saying that this would include using their jobs as a ministry place where possible. I may be different because I feel God has lead me to my current place of employment, but this was not revelation to me when it happened.
"God @ Work" is a fantastic book for a new Christian who is wondering how he or she can minister effectively, or may be wondering what they are called to. For any other Christians, they should read chapter eleven and be finished with it, as the rest will probably be redundant and a waste or their time. I give this book two fingers out of five.

The man of steel

Well, I joined livejournal, the poor mans deadjournal. So you can read my entries eather at http://www.livejournal.com/users/livingdeadchild/ or http://www.deadjournal.com/users/livingdeadchild/.

I have a terrible time coming up with a password. I could not us my normal one because it is a dictionary word. So then I tried the using "dibble" and it said "Bad password: it is based on a dictionary word" So I tried a couple more then tried "emetib". It said "Bad password: it is based on a (reversed) dictionary word". I wish could tell you what is did accept.

I also uploaded my picture from when I held the NWA Intercontinental Championship Belt. It looks all blocky though. Some of the picture I see look great. I have to work on this.

I am doing 50 push ups a day. I am so freakin strong!

I woke up today at 5 P.M. vacuumed and mopped my grandparents house. My Grandma bought me a frozen cappuccino from Tim Hortons. It was good, but it was no Deebes drink. I went to get my medication from my druggist, but I forgot my cheque book at home. I am glad I realized this before I got there. I worked at Deebes from 9 to midnight.

Dee Plane

I put a tempory tattoo on my arm. I got it from a pack of Airheads candy. It is a picture of barn yard animals from the movie "Home on the Range". I went around last week telling people that I got a tattoo and showing them it like it was real. A good time was had by all.

A woman came into Deebe's last week, one of these very sociably attractive women, so hot and she knows it, with a salad. So I told he politely that we did not allow any outside food of beverage. Without saying anything she got huffy, then asked for a plastic fork, which I gave her. She went out and came back about 20 minutes later. She sat down with her friend, and did not order anything. So after about 10 minutes I went over to her and said, softly and politely "We have a one drink minimum per person, so I am going to have to ask you to come up to the bar and get something to drink." She looks at me and in a snotty voice says "Pardon me?" So I said the same thing to her again as if she actually did not hear me, although I know she did. Then she said "I just had a salad, I am not going to get something to drink now." So I very politely said "If you are not going to get something to drink, I am going to have to ask you to leave." And she said she would leave then. Today she called my boss to complain about me. WHAT THE DILLY OHHH.

It looks like I am going to have to get a livejournal in addition to this one, as all my journal friends or on there. Apparently they are not cool enough for deadjournal.

Doorways to Salvation

I got a full body massage on Sat. I was wonderful. I won it at a Halloween party and never used it till now. They give you a bottle of water when it is over and it is amazing how thirsty the massage makes you.

We got new doors at Deebe's.

Yesterday in chaplaincy class the teacher told this story: The year was like 1976 and he was volunteering with the Boys Club. They had all gone to see a baseball game and it was delayed because of rain. They were on there way home, it was a long drive, and it was after midnight. So everyone in the car was asleep except for a fifteen your old boy and my teacher who was driving. The boy was just starting out the side window for a long time, and then finally said"Mr. Johnson, do you belive in God?" My teacher replied "Yes, I do." and the boy went back to staring out the window. After about ten minutes the boy asked "Do you belive the things about Jesus are true?", my teacher replied "Yes, why, whats up?". A girl had told the boy that if he did not belive in Jesus he would go to hell, and the boy was confused. So they had a great long conversation about it. All the time it was raining buckets. So at the end of the conversation, my teacher says "We better pray the rain stops so these kinds can get in without getting wet." He said it as on off hand remark, and not in any seriousness, but about 10 sec. after he said it they drove out of the rain and it was like a wall of rain, it did not gradually peter off, it was heavy and then a foot father nothing. The boy said "If it starts to rain again after we drop them off, I am going to be freaked out". Anyway, he led the boy to the Lord that night. It was raining again but the time my teacher got home at least.

I once heard someone say "I cannot always tell the difference between coincidence by the hand of God and coincidence that in naturally occurring. But since I have been saved I have noticed much more coincidence in my life".

I have to do a book report on the book GOD AT WORK for my chaplaincy class. I do not really want to do it.

I am going to my parents house to fix their computer tomorrow. They have a virus.

See Dee's Compact Discs

I went to sleep at like 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning, and woke up at 11:00 a.m. I could not sleep anymore. So I got up and played some video games, and went gorgery shopping. Boy milk is getting expensive! Meijers had pot-pies on sale, 10 for $4:00. I bought ten. And then forgot to put them in the freezer.

I got my hair cut at 4:30 p.m. I want to grow my hair long again, so she just cut the back so it would not look like a mullet. My hair sucks at this length. It is in at the length where there is not really a good look for it, but you have to go through it to get to the long hair. I am not one to really care about stuff like this, but it looks bad. I think I am just going to slick it back until it is longer.

Then I want to my friend James house. He gave me a "Onion Gourmet: Onion Blossom Maker". It will help me make Awesome Blossoms with my deep fryer. He was getting rid of some CDs and gave me my pick of them before he put them on E-bay. Here is what I got:

The Best of B.B.King Vol. One.
The king rules!
Chiller
Chiller is a collection of horror type themes, and has three selections for the movie "Psycho". I love the theme from Psycho, but could not find a decent recording of it. Alas, I am not sure this is one either. It seems to be a little slow. But maybe it is just me, I have only listened to it on this disc once.
Little Shop of Horrors: Original Cast Album
Little Shop of Horrors: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
I love Little Shop of Horrors. Suddenly, Seymour is one of the most underrated songs from Musicals.
and
The Return of the Living Dead Original Soundtrack.
On old old friend of mine had the record and the tape, and taped it for me. This was like in 1990. Then a friend of mine bought me the CD. The CD eventfully was left in a computer by one of my co-worker when I was a computer tech, and so a customer got a special bonus. That was like three years ago. I am overjoyed to have it again. It has good, old fashioned, American punk rock. It rules.

Super Noel Tennis Elbow

I have Tennis Elbow. I have not kick boxed in three months because of my Chaplaincy class and work schedule, and NOW I get tennis elbow. I have no idea what I did to get it.

I am getting a full body massage tomorrow. I won it at a Halloween party for the best male costume. But it is at 2:30 P.M., that is early for me. I am afraid I will fall asleep and wont enjoy it. The parlor called me today and said I might want to come in early to fill out paperwork, I said I would not fill out any paperwork. What the heck. It is a free massage I won, what info do they want. If I did not know the masseuse they would know me only as Rusty Shackleford.

My friend James sent me an e-mail with a link to a page saying that the directors Cut of Donnie Darko is going to get first run theatrical realse this summer. I can't wait. here is the link: http://www.chud.com/news/april04/apr21dark.php3. You should all go see it.

Open All Night

I went to prayer meeting at 4:30 A.M. last night. Woke up today at 4:50 P.M. Worked. Then I went to two gals house that needed computer help. They had a virus and some spyware. We are hosting a LAN party in Deebes basement this weekend. So I will be working from 6:00 P.M. Friday night to 8:00 A.M. Saturday Morning, 12:00 A.M. Sunday Morning to 8:00 A.M. Sunday morning, than my normal 6:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. on Sunday evening. And Deebes will stay open the entire time.

What doesn't kill you.....

I compleated the game ZUMA last night without cheating. I rule.

I got such a freakin head ache last night. I hardly ever get a head ache but I got one last night. The pain went from my head to the back of my neck.

Then I could not fall asleep. I was tired when I got home, but when I tried to sleep I could not. So at 7:30 A.M. I am laying in bed and I remember how I have to help my grand father set up his space for an art show. So I don't know when he is going to be waking me up. And I don't know I my head ache will be gone by that time eather.

Well, I did not have to help him set up, just put stuff in the van. So I did not have to get up real early.

It was really hectic at Deebes tonight. Last night was slow, but I made better tips. Its crazy!

Some like it Hot

I am tired. I woke up at 3:00 P.M. today, and that is early.

This is from http://www.pwinsider.com/:
There are plans to bring up Tough Enough 3 winner Matt Cappotelli to the Smackdown roster as a Cruiserweight challenger for Chavo Guerrero, but they have been delayed due to a concussion Cappotelli suffered while working against Bob Holly on a house show in Tulsa, Oklahoma that has been giving him some lingering problems. There's some irony about that injury as the beating Holly gave Cappotelli was one of the most noteworthy things to come out of the third season of Tough Enough.

That is the second time Holly has busted this guy up ligit. I hope WWE books so Matt gets to beat the crap out of Holly and defecate on him.

Today was the first day I used air conditioning in my car this year.

I got up today, cut the grass, used the weed whacker on the sides (that freakin sucked, it is electric and the cord kept falling out). Picked up my medication and my comic books, worked, and now I am here. WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Interview with the Chaplain

A friend showed me today where in Romania, the belief in vampires is still strong. A family got arrested for digging up the corpse of a family member and taking out his heart, burning it, mixing the ashes with water and drinking it. Apparently, this is the only way to be safe from a vampire, as REAL vampires only prey on their family. A arrested family member said something to the effect of "If he wasn't a vampire no harm was done, and if he was we saved our whole family." If I ever get to go back their I am going to do some asking around about vampires. I need info if I am going to be a successful slayer.

The had the chaplaincy class in the back pert of Deebe's again tonight. I don't think this helps business, as now with the teacher using a mic, it is a bit over powering. I was not in the class, I was working. I take the class on Mondays, and it is in the basement of Deebes.

I have started to write thing in my Palm Pilot thought the day to put into this journal, so when I get to the keyboard I do not draw a total blank.

April Foole's Day

It is April Fool's day again, and again, I had nothing planned. I think of things to do though out the year, but then on April 1st, I think to my-self, "Whoa, its, April 1st, how did it get here so quick"

I woke up an worked today, nothing special. It was slow at work.

I almost hit a rabbit on the way home. Someone should teach the animals to stay out of the streets.

Version 2.0

The book Angela's Ashes is a wonderful book. It is the type of book that once you start you will make time to read because it is so good. It is written by Frank McCourt, and he wrote a sequel title Tis'. I have never bought the sequel, but have always wanted to read it. So today at Deebe's someone left 4 books there with cards that they were wondering books, and you soul take them and read them, and them leave them somewhere for someone else to read. One of them was Tis', in hardcover. I love hardcover books. So I took it.
