Big Changes

I'm planning on rolling out a brand new blog sometime this coming week. It will be a new domain, new look, new host...the list goes on. So you can be looking forward to that.

A Seminary Diet

Most of you know that I am in seminary all day on Friday. 8am-5pm. It is a long day...2, four-hour long classes. Here is my day:

I have a bowl of cereal and make some coffee after the early morning shower. I still say man wasn't designed to get up before it is light but the traffic I run into in the dark at 7:10am says no one else agrees.
I have about a 40 minute drive to campus. I drink the coffee, listen to Colin Cowherd on the radio and then listen to music.
During my first class, I eat a banana, drink a 20 oz bottle of Pepsi, and eat a pack of Necco candy wafers.
For lunch, I eat a sandwich my wife puts together because her's are 10x anything I can make. I drink another can of Pepsi, have some apples, and eat some crackers.
For the afternoon class I usually have a granola bar and have either Starburst or Skittles.

I really don't know how much caffiene and sugar that is but I know it probably equals my intake from the other 6 days of the week combined. Maybe I just don't want to know. But, even with that I struggle to stay awake in the warm classrooms.

Good thing I have a hollow leg.

Snip Snip: the Damage

Well as most of you read last night about my plans, I got my hair cut this morning. It was a sad goodbye to my long hair but it was time for it to go.That was a picture of the mullet that I had during the haircut process. Here are some before/after pics.














Pretty different eh?

Snip Snip

I last cut my hair towards the end of April. Back then I was a suit wearing businessman.
So its been about 6 months. I know some of you are amazed but I did go 9 months without a cut between my freshman and sophomore years of college. So this isn't all that bad. There is no big reason for this change other than I'm sick of getting my hair out of my eyes. I'll give you an "after" picture tomorrow after the hacking is done. The wonderful locks of gold will go to the ground around 9:30am tomorrow.



So how short should I go?

What Can Braun Do For You?

I've noticed lately that my rare last name is becoming pretty popular. I was washing a window (surprise surprise....) and it was a window made by a company named "Braun". Pretty cool.

Of course there is the electric shaver company Braun and they always have a lot of commercials around the holidays.





But the tip of the iceberg is the Rookie of the Year in the National League of baseball this year. Ryan Braun. He is legit and to all those who wanted Troy to win it...Ryan deserved it. He played a month and a half less than Troy and still had better numbers.

So even though I pronounce my German last name brown and everyone pronounces it like brawn, I'm proud that my last name is becoming well known.

Multnomah Falls

On Sunday, Rose and I are heading to Multnomah Falls. Neither of us have been before. I've lived here for 13 years and I've never been. Kind of sad. We got engaged at Silver Creek Falls, so we figured we should visit the other falls in Oregon. Obviously its a beautiful place. Any advice on what there is to do?
