Ok, so i was just informed that i am now blogging with my wife here @ blogspot (sounds funny when ya write it out), which i am ok with. All of these internet communities are so freaking confusing, i feel like i've left dirty socks in everyroom of my house. Anyways- in the real world. Like Audri said we find out what type of kid we are having on Monday, which is great because then i can order the pink or blue yankee hat for the silly little baby. I have been reading a lot lately, too much because i can't sleep at night- my last three reads and my opinions on them.
1. Myth Of A Christian Nation- Dr. Greg Boyd. While the book has stirred a lot of controversy about Boyd's political beliefs, the thrust of the book is about Christians and how we are called to live in the Kingdom of God. I absolutely loved this book, it reminded me that while the world around us is confusing and often frustrating the Kingdom of God is beautiful. The main question Boyd ask is " what are you willing to bleed for?". It really caused me to think a lot, and I so happy about life (minus the internet community hopping) and all that Audri and I have going on.
2. Survior- Chuck Palahunik. A very odd and cynical take on American culture, it was a great read and i was completly enthralled by the absurdity, which rings true today. Palahunik is the guy who wrote Fight Club- i've never seen it, and wouldn't be opposed to it, just don't spend a lot of time watching movies. This book would be rated R, so if is something your opposed to, then ignore my review.
3. The Road- Cormac McCarthy. First of all how cool is the name Cormac McCarthy- exactly. i've wanted to read this one for awhile and finished it in about 4 hours. it is about a man and his son in a post-apocolyptic era as the make they way down a road. McCarthy's vocabulary is tremendous and it helps turn a horrifying plot into a beautiful story of love between a father and son who find hope in their love for one another. i really enjoyed everything about this book.
Today i picked up Pontoon by Garrison Keillor, and that'll be a good read, and i'm almost done with Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller, so i'll let ya know how it goes for you's that haven't read it yet.
In sports- Bill Bellicheat- i hope the NFL makes the patriots forfeit the game against the Jets. Then maybe ESPN or as i call it Crap TV will have Tom Brady on to discuss the ethics of fathering child out of wedloc.... I mean stealing signs from the opposing team.
Rick Ankiel- Yes he was perscribed HGH by his doctor and so get off his back.
The Yankees- 4 game lead in the wildcard- and this weekend reaks of comeback against the choweda eating sox. At least i hope.
that is all for now, until we start blogging on thoughts.com.
goodnight
Corey

Let me know how that donald miller book turns out, i have had it for a year and still havent read it yet...
by the way the baby diesel shoes and the baby yankee (color is pending)hat are on my list of gifts for "silly baby," since your the baby's daddy you can give it his/her name, but the hat and shoes are off limits!! (maybe we can work something out, like ill buy it, but you can present it to the baby)
See yall in two weeks!!!
I feel very informed!
I don't understand blogging;it takes too much thinking( like for punctuation and stuff like that) I mean,should I put parenthasis around that statement and did I spell parenthasie(?) right? I'm sure that I can only blogg or respond to bloggs if i have someone standing over my shoulder telling me that I'm doing it right! PS(can you even use that in blogging world?) who knows?
Anyway I just wanted to say that I think my name should be La La.
