Rain Drops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens

My little sister Johanna started a blog recently and reminded me that I have not blogged here in quite some time. So in order to catch people up on what I've been up to I thought I'd post a list of some of my current favorite things.


1- Bowling. I had forgotten how much I love bowling until I recently began going again with my friend Jason. I'm not the greatest bowler, but I'm not too bad either. I feel like it's an actual sport that I can relate to and actually excel in if I wanted to. It's awesome. We go to Fat Cats when they have Thunder Alley since you can pay ten bucks for a whole hour of bowling. With just two of us we usually can get in about 4 to 5 games in that hour. It's awesome.




2- This song and music video. I know Katy Perry can get overplayed but I love it and listen to it like crazy.





3- Kurt Vonnegut. I've now read 3 of his novels: Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and The Sirens of Titan. Well, I'm half way through the third and loving it. He's a science fiction writer of a sort with his own fascinating and strange way of telling the story. It takes some adjusting to understand the humor and style of his story telling. He's one of the best examples of satire that I've read and really easy to read.



4- 21 Jumpstreet. My friend Ben introduced me to this horribly amazing show from the late 80's and early 90's a while ago. Then I found season 1 for like five bucks at Walmart and just had to buy it. It is so fun to watch. The clothes remind you of how strange fashion was back then with denim everything, mullets on guys, and bangs up the wazzoo on girls. What were people thinking.  There is also a strong propaganda overtone for teenagers, sometimes to the point of bluntness. The acting is not good, even with Johnny Depp, but you know their trying and you cannot help but laugh. It's one of those shows you watch to make fun of. It's so bad that its good to watch.




5- And I know it's cliche and cheesy, but lastly is my amazing friends and family. You all make my life better and I love all of you. I would go crazy without all of you. I'm such a social person. I hope you all know and feel how much I appreciate everything you do.


Well, that's what I'm loving right now. Enjoy.

Love you Charles. Great post. I want to go bowling with you sometime! Fat Cats here I come. Do you bowl "glow in the dark" style?

21 Jumpstreet. Now there's a blast from the past. They should redo that show or make it into a movie. It was great to see you at Thanksgiving. Glad things are going well for you. Here is a tip: wear blended wool socks under your Chucks. That way you continue to look awesome and your feet are cozy toasty.

Hey Charles, I loved your blog post. I need to watch Jumpstreet. It sounds interesting. I love and appreciate you, son. Get your car licensed and registered and make an appointment with the dentist right away. Your mama say.
