I was actually hoping there was more…do they have a CD out? It was sort of Robin Gibb meets the Delfonics. I hate to admit it, but that song reminded me of me during my DOOM-playing days.
Freaky. Totally freaky. It’s like these three dudes snuck into my house and wrote this song about Sara and I. Sandwiching the relationship with my girlfriend between “Gears of War” and “Project Gotham Racing” on my Xbox360, can be quite difficult sometimes. Although, on Superbowl Sunday, Sara said to me, “I’m 100 times happier that you like video games rather than football.”
Agreed.
Now move away from the television, I have to rip this dude in half with my chainsaw before the game starts.
Speaking of the good ole days when hours upon hours were heaped upon the fire of time playing video games, I’d like to hear Zack tell the famous Stolen Van story again.
I’m not looking to start telling too many old stories, as I have an immaculate reputation to uphold and all… it just got me thinking that it would be amusing.
Zack told us a story the first night we (matty and I) met him that had us wetting our pants. I wonder if it still would, now that we’re not… you know… 16.
I often feel close to - yet stuck in between - two generations of women at our church. I even tried to bridge the gap once, which I learned (even though I think I’m pretty powerful) only the Holy Spirit can do. But that’s a story for another post.
How it pertains to “Sweet Sweet Love” is that I had a hilarious and yet very real conversation with some 40 friends who are Christian women. They were absolutely bewildered that while my friends and I would go out for a girls’ night, the guys would stay at home and have an “X-Box Tournament”. This involves someone bringing over an extra TV, so the TVs can face opposite directions, so you can’t see what your opponent is doing, or so I am told. (I mean, otherwise, what’s the point?) It also involves using a portable screen on which my husband’s great-grandfather used to show family slides. A projector is somehow hooked up to the X-Box so that the game can be larger-than-life. (I’m sure Great Grandpa would be proud.) When we come home, every light in the house is off, and none of my furniture is where I left it.
Although the “older” women wouldn’t say so, I think they think this is adolescent behavior, and it scares them. “These are the elders and pastors of tomorrow?!” Apparently X-Box playing and God-seeking don’t fit well into the same guy. (?)
It makes me wonder what will bewilder my generation in another 15 years.
I am an over 40 pastor who bought an x-box for the office and I make my younger staff play as we project it on the wall. Can’t claim to be all that holy but I do get the crap kicked out of my by my youth pastor every time we play halo.

Ok, so…it’s not me. I honestly haven’t owned a new gaming system in about 10 years–and most certainly not one worth postponing sex for…
What is this–how do you say?–X-box??

“Laser Vasectomy” is officially the new name for my mid-30’s-only boy band.
About the song…I didn’t really see the problem with what the guys were saying, but Rona kept nodding her head and rolling her eyes…

Chad, I am still willing to take your money and your ego in some Gran Turismo - anytime you want, fella.
As for the van story…is this the right venue for such a tale?

Oh yes. I think it deserves it’s own series, entitled. “Things we did when we should have known better but apparently didn’t.”
