Daily Good Stuff 7

Hey it’s a new day! I know most of us dread the Mondays but that’s why we’re here. Let’s start the workweek right with some cool stuff. First, we’ll poke about a joke:

This guy suspects his wife is cheating on him. He comes home early and she meets him at the door in a bathrobe, her hair a mess. “Where is he?” he shouts. “Where’s the guy who’s been sleeping with you?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about” she says so he tears the house apart looking for this guy. Finally he’s on the second floor, in the kitchen, he looks out the window and sees some guy sitting in a Volkswagen. “Aha!” he thinks, “That’s the guy who’s been sleeping with my wife.” He’s so furious he picks up the refrigerator, throws it out the window at the guy, has a heart attack and dies.

So St. Peter meets him at the gates of Heaven and asks “What are you doing here?” The guy says “Well, I knew my wife was cheating on me so I came home early from work, saw him sitting in his Volkswagen out on the street, threw the refrigerator at him, I had a heart attack and died.” St. Peter says “You don’t belong here; go to Hell.” He pulls a big lever, a trap door opens up and the guy disappears.

A few minutes later another guy comes up to St. Peter at the gates of Heaven. St. Peter asks “What are you doing here?” The guy says “I don’t know! I was just sitting in my Volkswagen, minding my own business, when suddenly somebody throws a refrigerator at me.” St. Peter wags his finger and says “I heard about you… you go to Hell too.” He pulls the lever and the guy disappears.

A few minutes later another guy comes up to St. Peter at the gates of Heaven. St. Peter asks “What are you doing here?” The guy says “I don’t know! I was just sitting in a refrigerator, minding my own business…”

Wow. The story is a stretch but hey it’s funny. Yesterday, I tried and failed with the video. Today, it’s working so let’s get to it. We have a bunch of folks who didn’t do so well in Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. Let’s watch:

Daily Good Stuff 6

Letting you know, WordPress is giving me problems with videos so nothing today. We still got the other usual stuff though so let’s get things off with a joke. And, as a church goer, you can expect some “church” themed stuff.

A visiting minister waxed eloquent during the offertory prayer. He began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face,”Without you we are but dust… ” He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter(who was listening!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, “Mom, what is butt dust?”

Well ain’t that something. I wonder about stuff I read in the Bible myself.

In this episode of misleading church signs…

Daily Good Stuff 5

Alright it’s Saturday. Enjoy your weekend everybody. Try to relax. And of course, make sure you share this post with your stressed out friends.

On Friday, I failed to put up a video, even though I led you to believe that there was something there. So, I’ll make up for that with two videos. How’s that sound? You still love me, right? RIGHT?

And here’s video number two:

My Posting Schedule

So, I have many blogs and Facebook pages to run. And lately I haven’t been very consistent in each area. This is about to change. I present to you, my posting schedule! In total, I have 4 blogs and 6 Facebook pages to look after. Some pages look after themselves and one blog is kinda every once in a while anyway. So let’s narrow it down to 3 blogs and 2 Facebook pages. It’s not going to be easy but I think it can be done.

Good Friday: Good News Around the Web 1

It’s the inaugural post of Good Friday. I just share a few stories each week that make the world seem not as bad.

Our first one is about sisters who reunited with each other through Facebook. These types of stories prove that Facebook isn’t the bad thing; it’s how you use it that counts.

Link

In the story, we see that the sisters were 130 miles apart. They had lost each other during WWII and were separated for 72 years. Now, the sisters are 88 and 82 and are looking for a brother who apparently could be in the U.S. (the sisters are in Bosnia). I hope they do find their brother, but considering their ages…ah never mind.

My Goals for 2013

Ah we made it. Well, not quite but it’s only a couple of days away. We all make those stupid new years resolutions that rarely make it past January. But hey, I have some goals for this next year.

Of course I’ll share them with you because…well…I don’t really know why. Crap.

Webshow

I talked to you recently about how I and my sisters are working on a web show. It won’t be like iCarly because our show will actually be funny. I’m writing out some scripts and I’m on the hunt for some decent video editing software. It’s really happening. I hope to get it up and running by March. I need a name for it…

DALANEL exclusive: A New Home

The only people that know about this are you, my lovely readers. I am in the process of creating a great play, called A New Home, that will be an unpublished book. Part of it is already written out in an unpublished book called One Play per Nipple which is actually a book that contains as many plays in it as I have nipples. I have 3 nipples so…yeah. I’m also aiming for a March release.

Restore The Sixer Sense

Over the past two months, my site The Sixer Sense, has been performing poorly for my standards. I already have a plan in place for that to improve the situation. Right now, it’s a mess. Also, I am still looking for my replacement as editor of the site. The reason why I want to leave the site ties into my next goal.

Facebook

Recently, I posted how much I didn’t care for Facebook. Welp, I want to leave Facebook in 2013. As I mentioned above, being part of The Sixer Sense means I have to manage the Facebook page for the site. I actually put in to be a social media manager for the FanSided NBA division. If I get that role, I’ll most likely start posting on a regular basis on my hit page Nothing But Jokes. If I don’t get the position, I’ll find my editor replacement and keep it moving. I try to share and link this blog to Facebook but stats show I don’t get anything from there anyway.

Put more focus on school

In all of these other goals, I also would like to step up my academic game as well. It wasn’t a good past semester for me. I’m not very proud of my grades. I have said that I hate school. But, one thing I hate more than school is not performing well enough. To be honest, I’ve come to accept that I don’t like the subject that I’m currently majoring in. I never really enjoyed accounting. I’m looking at finance but seems closely related to accounting anyway. I would like to do something with numbers though. Maybe statistics would be a better fit. Such a lazy nerd if that exists.

Lead someone to Christ

I’ve always wanted to do this. One on one, I want to lead someone to accept Jesus as their personal Savior  Granted, my books that I have published actually aim to do that. But, I would love to personally do it myself. And considering what is going on in my church soon, I may get my chance. I’m excited!

Break out of my comfort zone

I want to do something that I’ve never done. I want to do something that I’ve held myself back from for fear of rejection. I don’t know what that thing is though. Ask that cute girl out? Take that roller coaster by storm? Learn how to freakin swim!? I gotta do something this year that flat out scares me. Be a man. You’re 21 years old darn-it! Grow some balls and make something happen.

Get people buzzing about DALANEL

Numbers don’t lie. Not many folks read this blog. BUT, I’ve been posting consistently. My biggest problem is sharing the work. Don’t get me wrong, links go out Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even Google+. But, it’s only one link. The more I share my stuff, the larger the audience and chances someone will read it. I already have a #DALANEL on Twitter. One day it will trend and it won’t be just by me.

So that’s what I want to do in 2013. It’s a tall order and I may not get everything done. But, out of the 8 things on this here list, if I can get through 6 of them, I’ll call it a win.

Baby steps. Happy New Year and all that crap.
