Bob's Confessions #4

I haven't done one of these in awhile so I thought I would. I was going through all of the dumb things I've said and done over the course of the last 28+ years to come up with a confession...

What I found is that spilling your guts on a blog sucks. Anyhow, here's something for you:

I bawled my eyes out watching The Notebook.

That is the single greatest love story movie of all time. It was some amazing writing and acting... and I will never watch it again.

I have no problem admitting that I cry from time to time. Mostly over very sad things. That movie... had some seriously sad parts.

I sobbed over "It Won't Be Like This For Long" by Darius Rucker (formerly of Hootie & the Blowfish). If you haven't heard this song and you have a child.. don't listen to it.

Why did I cry over the movie? Because it was about loving someone so much that you'd give everything just for a few seconds with them.

Why did I cry over the song? Because it was about your little girl growing up and not being little anymore.

I love Miranda and Maleah with all of my heart... That's why I cried.

Bob's Confession # 3

Ok, so I thought I would write a quick confession on here. This is pretty embarrasing.

I ran a stop sign one time. Maybe you've done that too. I wasn't paying enough attention. What distracted me?

I was too busy rapping to some CD I had in and completely missed that I needed to stop. I flew through that intersection and luckily didn't hurt anyone - including myself.

This further proves that me and rap music are like oil and water...

Bob's Confessions #2

I get angry over dumb stuff.

You could take that two ways. Either I get annoyed over things that are, in fact, stupid things... Or, it is stupid that I let my self get angry over small things. Both are accurate in my case.

Things that are dumb annoy me. Stupid commercials annoy me. Idiotic emails annoy me. I read a fax - not even meant for me - that annoyed me.

Ok, so the fax had a newspaper story about Cancun being the #1 vacation spot and the last line is "We can't be partial as a newspaper, but there is one company online who offers round trip to Cancun for $300". That part is circled and they write, "That's us. Give us a call at...". I go look online at the paper's website. That story does not exist! Ugh! Why does that make me mad?

Probably because I hate deception and any form of it. Lying, trickery, or tom foolery of any kind is intolerable to me.

I digress. In any case it is dumb that I let dumb stuff get to me... How's that for irony?

Bob's Confessions #1

Miranda asked me to start doing my own "confession" posts on Fridays. She, in turn, will be doing the 3BT (Three Beautiful Things) on my blog. So here goes nothing...

My first confession is probably one of my most embarrassing. It is all about music.

First of all, I used to love rap music. Not just any rap music, but particularly "East Coast" rap. I loved Puff Daddy (aka P. Diddy, aka Diddy, aka Puff Diddy-do-it, etc.), Ma$e, Notorious B.I.G., and an occasional Jay Z "joint"... Sorry. Anyhow... that was my music. I stopped when 1) I realized that I'm a Christian that shouldn't be listening to it and 2) I looked in the mirror.

Secondly, and most embarrassing... boy bands. nSYNC and 98 Degrees were my favorites. I actually purchased an nSYNC cd (the one with Bye, Bye, Bye) and told the clerk "my girlfriend is making me buy it". I am ashamed. I still do this day believe that vocally that was a great cd and had some really catchy tunes. Either way, I no longer own it. 98 Degrees was at least somewhat respectable because they were men. If this provides any redemption I never liked the Backstreet Boys! They were just goofy.

Miranda still claims that the worse one of all that I liked was a group called Plus One. I thought I could listen to them because they were a Christian group. They also were on the Disney channel music videos. They also really don't sing too many "Christian" songs.

That's it. Mock accordingly...
