Friday April 3, is a year of marriage.

A lot of things have happened this last year. April 5, 2008, Hopeless Academy rescinds the working agreement that we had. Ashley and I looked into moving to Naples. We ended up only moving southwest by 6 miles. I went back to school.

I have tried many locations to restart the local music scene. I have found some success. I really liked working last Friday. I think that has a lot of potential. After a great weekend on the West Coast, it is very apparent that this is where we are headed.

The game plan is that we are headed over at the beginning of July. I may be over there a lot sooner than that. There is a very prospective appointment on Friday.

Vote out Michelle Spence-Jones

Michelle Spence-Jones states “I will not vote for the stadium, unless the $500 million is allocated for revitalizing Overtown”. What the HECK is wrong with this lady! Is she THAT ignorant? We wanted $350 million to build a long standing, income generating business to our community. This money for the new baseball stadium would come from tourism tax. I would LOVE to know where the half-billion dollars are coming from to do who knows what with in Overtown! I just hope her kid does not come out as stupid as she is. This is why it is important that everyone goes out and uses their freedom to vote, so that we do not end up with idiots like this in government. Next, we should spend a half-billion dollars and improve the malls…She was probably the same lady that pushed to have the crosswalks beep really loudly so that blind people could figure out where they were walking. I sure am glad about this; I have been quit worried about all of the blind people that walk out in front of me in the last 27 years.

Some great people in the Keys

I don’t mind kicking in doors, I always know how that is going to go. It is always nice when God sets stuff up and it just goes together. It makes me sweat like crazy though, because it always surpasses my expectations.

I wanted to hang posters where the kids hang out at. Not really knowing where that is, I asked. I went over to Tavernier Towne Cinemas, and Amen, the manager says, “Whatever benefits the community, I am always here to support it.” Then I went over to Blockbuster, and Carl told me that he was happy to put them up for me. I really appreciate nice folks in the Keys!

Sunday Wrap-up for 2-22-09

I really can summarize today by saying that you should persevere by going the distance (look up Cake’s song under the Fashion Nugget play list). Remember if God presents  the opportunity, throw me in the fire, and I’ll walk right through (look up D-I-E-4-Y-O-U, under the Dance or Die play list). Gold, oil, and lots of other great products are refined to be great, as are we.

Why certain old people aren’t missed

My mom is a teacher. I will always be very greatful for this. Even though she chose to come down to this county and teach private school. Florida in general has a very poor academic record. She has taught me in pre-school, 1st grade, and all of middle school. My parents also homeschooled me, while my mom taught school and my dad worked for the railroad.

There are a lot of schools that face economic struggles as all of us are. A school in Broward county decided to sell its OWN fence space. One old, crazy, retired teacher by the name of Susan Fried, called and complained to code compliance. This measure was passed by the school board. There is ad space at the bus stop across the street as well as directly in front of the school.

Broward county commision needs to wake up and realize that there are always “laws” that need to be revised, as well as old people that need to be forgotten. If you live in Susan Fried’s neighborhood, feel free to t.p. it. Perhaps spork her yard, and vaseline the windows and handles on her car, then saranwrap it. Give that “sweet” old lady something productive to spend her time on.

Relish the old people that you love, and the

What are locals entitled to?

I am fed up with this attitude that I get from the locals in Islamorada. They are upset when they do not get a locals discount. Should you not be greatful that there are visitors in “your” establishments paying “your” bills? I am ticked off when I walk into a joint and the management has decided that since my license doesn’t have an Islamorada address, that I should pay more for their services rendered. In this case I am thrilled to come all the way back to Homestead, to spend my hard earned dollars.

Let’s start in Homestead and travel throughout the year the year. Beginning in January, I am delighted when sweaty cowboy and cowgirls are spending their very hard earned dollars in my neighborhood. Then, in November; How rediculous would it be to get a “locals” discount to the most important Nascar weekend? Our city has done us a favor by controlling traffic and giving all of these visitors a place to park. I have met several drivers, teams, and owners, in this towns establishments. Noone has EVER acted like we owed them anything, so why should we act like we deserve more than them?

Skip Bayless is Worthless

My wife Ashley knows more than Skip does. Skip needs to trade in his “sports” coat for those goofy white shorts he likes to wear while playing tennis at his favorite JCC.

Football follies this weekend

So we start with a 5 point spread of USC over Ohio State. I really wish that we could have to losers of a game in football! I really think this game will end up at 45-28 USC. I know that USC is not that good, but I also know that Ohio State can really play that badly. I want there to be the biggest upset since 1974. I have all the faith in the world after that point for Ohio State to comfortably give their title hopes away this year at many points. My hatred for the Pac-10 comes from their inability to produce anything except an overblown New York style USC team every year. My hatred for the Big 10 comes from the fact that I cannot stand how much power their commissioner has, in such a poorly drawn up conference. I will address all of my ACC friends in 2-4 years when you have something to play with…

Another hall of famer qb may never be the same after Brady took that gentle rock to the knee. We have seen lots of greats go directly downhill in their career from these injuries. I do feel happy for the Jets though ( Take a picture, probably the only time you will ever see me say this). I am just a HUGE Farve fan, and even though he wears evil laundry, I feel as though I should be supportive of his decisions…I realize that probably reads a little creepy. Have fun watching this game, and I expect some kind of spectacle, and even debauchery as those mean NY natives go at each others throats for a win this weekend.  I hope they set up security check points for hammers on the subway…They always tell you not to look at people in the eye, when you ride, but you should always wear a helmet! Sure people might look at you and think you missed your trip on the short bus, but the bright side is when you get to your stop, and the conductor says, “please remove ALL personal items before leaving the train”. You will be able to oblige everyone and take you brain along with you.

Will work for venue

In the event that I am unable to resolve the issue with our use of the old Life Pointe building; I am in desperate need of a building. These shows have been an amazing opportunity to develop the community, and present Christ to people in a “real” way. I am asking for specific blog help from Travis Johnson, Chris Day, Dan Bard, and Jeff Reed. Anyone else, who could possibly point me in the direction of a venue, we would all greatly appreciate it. This venue is not a cash cow, nor is it an implement of destruction. This walled structure is a performance arena of amazing talents that God has blessed a lot of young people. It is also a safe harbor, and an incredible podium to deliver the message of Christ’s love for us. We do not bring in anyone who is out for ill will, and not all bands that preform are “Christian”. I am not looking to shut out the sick and dying, but I promise you that we take care of everyone involved, and safety is a great responsibility. This is my passion in life! I do not know many people in the world with, that have young people come up and tell them that they would like to be part of something. We have had people come to Christ through this, and just as many people become involved in our ministry at church. This has reached some amazing people, and I intend on continuing to have an open stage of discussion with my lost friends in Miami. “Whatever it takes!”. I fully trust God to work things out in His design. At a point, you have to take actions to finish out what He has sent you to do. Please respond to this post at rpmconcerts@gmail.com.

Love,
