A friend of the family had the good sense to go around the house and take some pictures of the house the way mom had it before anything was changed. These are my dad’s favorites. They are simple pictures but my mom put a lot into making this house look just right. Some of the things in the house they have had since I was little. Oddly, the pictures of the things, being the way they were, might mean more to me than the actual things themselves.
My good friend Draper was united in the Holy Ma-wedge with his good friend and now life long roommate with benefits (among other joys). It was a great time. And while I am here to talk about the wedding, I might as well show a few pics and tell a few stories. And not just the wedding. There was a bachelor party and a rehearsal dinner. All kinds of fun was had.

Champions of Hope took Steven, Edgar and I to see a Rangers game. Unfortunately the Twins won, but it was a lot of fun. It was a really hot day. I was told later it got up to 106 but I think that might be an exaggeration. I think there were about two dozen of us. The final score of the game was 4 – 2. Thanks to the Rangers for the tickets!
Beware. Rant to follow. Here is why I am cancelling Amazon Prime. Last year I got Amazon Prime. There were two reasons. Let me clue you in, Amazon. The shipping alone isn’t enough. You would have to buy a ton for that to make sense. But you throw in a Netflix like service. Well. Now you’re talking. Today I was checking my bank account and I got hit with $85.52. Would have been nice to get a warning email. But of course if they had done that, I might have cancelled. If I order something I get three emails. But Amazon Prime renews and nothing. Fuckers. Here’s the thing. I can now watch HBO, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu (not that I subscribe, but it is available if I wanted to), MLB (don’t subscribe to that either), and now as of this week Vevo. Why not Amazon? I freaking pay for it! I should get it everywhere I want. I shouldn’t have to watch it on my freaking laptop. That’s stupid. I tried mirroring from my iPad to my TV and it said my device isn’t supported. But who wants to do that anyway? So why the Apple hate, Amazon? Are you saying I have to buy some other device to watch Amazon Prime on my TV, because I’m not doing that. And if I can’t watch Amazon Prime, it’s as good as not having it. So you just lost a customer. I don’t buy enough to warrant the free shipping and truly it is barely worth it considering how few titles you have. Anyway, that’s why I’m cancelling Amazon Prime. Let me know if things change.
I don't go to a prosperity gospel church. My pastor and most pastors speak out, like this writer, against prosperity gospel preachers. I don't think anyone really takes them seriously. It's like Westboro Baptist Church. Freaks. No one is really like that. It's like the lottery. It's such an idiotic proposition you wonder what idiot is actually out there playing it then you find out its your mom or friend who says, "well someone has to win." Jesus isn't going to make you rich. The lotto isn't going to make you rich. And neither is God. Just saying.
