Who will YOU vote for?

Election day is right around the corner, so the question is, "Who will you vote for?" Obama and McCain both have strong and passionate ideas of what they want to do with the country. As you can see above, they also seem to have very similar fashion sense.

Fun with iChat

I know what you're thinking...TWO blog posts in TWO days!!! What has the world come to??? Well, this is a short one just to extol just one of the many virtues of being a Mac owner: iChat. Rebecca and I had a blast using this Mac program to have a video chat with our friends Justin and Holly who live in Boston. Just in case you're wondering...that's not how Justin really looks.

Freedom of Religion on the Cereal Aisle

You know those moments in life when you think, "Man, I wish I had my camera!" Well, thanks to the magic of cell phone cameras, many of those moments no longer escape us. Case in point: Rebecca and I noticed the scene above several months ago at our neighborhood Lowes Foods. Both of us had that "Man, I wish I had my camera" moment, but sadly our outdated cell phones had crappy cameras that didn't encourage such paparazzi tendencies. Several weeks later, armed with an updated camera phone, I was able to capture this image of humor.

On the left you have cereal "as described in the Holy Scriptures." I wonder if eating this cereal takes the place of your morning devotional?

On the right you have cereal that promises "inner harmony." I'm glad to see that zen monks are now in the cereal business!

You gotta love our great nation where freedom of religion is evident everywhere...even on the cereal aisle at the grocery store!

So You Think You Can...Ummm...Dance?

Wow, it's been 4 months and change since our last blog post. I only have one word for a plausible excuse: Facebook. That website will suck you in worse than heroin. For those of you still checking in on Coop du Jour (all three of you), we promise we will get better at posting more frequently from here onward.

So I think Rebecca and I would agree that we probably watch too much TV. Well, I think we would both agree that I (Brad) watch too much TV. Bec doesn't really have any shows that she watches religiously...with one exception: So You Think You Can Dance. I don't really see the appeal myself, but I have noticed that every other female member of her family is just as serious about it, so maybe the Y chromosome makes me immune or something.

As I observe the intensity of her viewing each episode, I wonder...is this how I look when I watch Lost? Yeah, I have to admit, it probably is. I should criticize, though..she definitely puts up with me watching my fair share of shows she doesn't care for (i.e. seven seasons of Smallville, anyone?)

That's all for now...we'll try to get some real pictures up in the next post. Until then, farewell...

Google Yourself

We've all either done it or wanted to do it at least once. I myself have done it a few times, but I never really paid attention to the results...until now. I'm up way past my bedtime and really should be getting some sleep, but times like these are perfect for a stream-of-consciousness blog entry. Alas, I digress...

The latest time when I googled myself, I found out that I have apparently done some very interesting things, for instance:

1. I'm a famous Hollywood actor who starred in Wedding Crashers and Alias.

2. I own a contemporary art gallery.

3. I'm a reknowned motivational speaker.

4. Did I mention that I'm an accomplished web designer?

5. I'm a published author.

6. I'm a student pastor who apparently owns a piece of the Internet.

7. I won a gold medal for swimming freestyle in the Olympics.

8. Oh yeah...almost forgot, I sing tenor!

If you haven't ever done it...try it sometime. You may be surprised at what you find!
