State of the 'Daily Update' Address

So the official Presidential State of the Union Address last night. I only saw bits and pieces of it, but it only made sense to me as I was watching it with Mike late at night, loaded full of sugar. We of course add our own little commentary as it went on and on and on, and during all the clapping we would unravel the true meanings of each political sentence spoken. It was sad to reach every true meaning because they were diluted with double meanings and lies. My favorite part of the speech was when George W was walking out of the big Senate room, and every republican was rushing up to him and having him sign their Programs, or copies of the speech, or whatever it was. Just like kids in a candy store, or roadies at a rock concert... (or like Emily and John Mayor perhaps.) My second most favorite thing about State of the Union addresses is how after every sentence either Republicans or everybody will start clapping or stand up and start clapping. You could take a 20 minute speech and make a 90 minute Address out of it with all that clapping! Imagine how that would work in Church. Besides making it political, it would make people pay attention.

So The 'State of the Union' address made me think, "Wow, its been about a year since most of my Daily Update friends have been getting emails. How fun, (or maybe how questionably annoying)" I don't even remember exactly how it all got started. Well, OK, I kind of remember (It all started with me being super bored at work, and sending Trisha funny emails.) But my-oh-my how the daily emails/(blog) has changed. Now I don't even know who reads it anymore. And every time someone would tell me that they are a subscriber (read it), I would get self-conscious about what I write and then edit down the 'content'. The last time, and maybe most notable editing job, was when realized that my Parents started asking me questions about it. I wonder who told them about it, JOE?! I guess it was just one of your ways to tell mom how to read my mind. Oh well I guess. So I have a few fun ideas that I plan to re-use in the next little bit with the Daily Update, and also I'm going to actually follow through with posting pictures more. I take a lot of them after all. It will hopefully add that little bit of Pizazz that will keep people hooked.

Also last night, a few of us planned an alternate FHE activity last night. We went to BJ's to eat BBQ Chicken Pizza and Pazookies! Ohhh, it was so good. We discussed many important topics. Jeff was there so there was a good amount of gossip that was either discussed or clarified. Cheryl was there so there was a few good discussions about TV and the writers strike. and Chris and I were there, so we started discussing the details of the Super Bowl party thats taking place this Sunday right after church over at Greenfield. (you all are invited by the way. Just bring something to eat with.) Oh the pizza there is so good! Its the beautiful child of a birthday cake, and a Blue Ribbon winning Chicago style Pizza. No incubator needed here, they used a BBQ grille to raise their kid. Then an oven, Now my stomach. I hope they keep making more kids, cause I plan to keep going back!

I'm listening to the last little bit of Jesus the Christ right now on audio book. Its taking forever, and getting kind of boring.

Lunch was sponsored by In N Out today.
