I'm so cold

Warning - This is basically 2 posts...
I'm so cold.
It's getting warmer
But I'm still cold
I don't think that I was made for this type of weather. I mean come on, I'm a tropical people
The weather report for earlier this week said that it was 15 Degrees, but the wind chill made it feel like it was 5!!! Unfortunately, there has been no rain, sleet or snow, so unlike all of you in Dallas, I've had the priviledge of coming to work everyday this week. I miss snow days! If you want to read about the best snow day that I ever had then go to Matt's Blog and and read about what we did at the Melting Pot.
I just don't like pointless cold weather. You have to get so bundled up like my friend here going camping. I Even bought a stinkin' scarf this week! At least it could snow or something so that I got something out of it, but no, its just butt cold(yeah I said it!) The worst part is that I look outside my window and it looks sunny! I guess this is better than an 80 Degree Christmas...

In light of the cold weather, I have decided to lighten things up a bit (because my blog is always very serious anyway) and talk about the most embarrassing moments for me in the last couple of weeks. Just consider this therapy for me.

Song Leading at Austin Area Wide Event
I was asked to lead singing at a Youth rally a few weeks ago in Austin. So its hard to get kids to sing when they are not really in the mood too, especially if there are hundreds of them together. In hindsight, I think that if I would have tried to do the "Steven Moore Mega Mix (Highways & Biways, This little light of mine...) then they may have been more into it. I royally messed this opportunity up in a couple different ways:

1.) I tried to teach a new song that I didn't know as well as I thought
-> Picture me standing up there trying to think up the girl's part as I teach
it to them - not a good idea
2.) After I got flustered with #1, I led "We Shall Assemble" at a pitch that even
hurt dogs ears - I had to stop everyone at the chorus, apologize and take a
mulligan.
3.) When I tried to introduce the song "Worthy is the Lamb" I couldn't remember the
word Lamb so I continued to call Jesus "the farm animal that we
praise."
4.) Accidentally mistyped the words to a well-known song on the powerpoint behind
me and confused everyone in the auditorium.
5.) My friend Kayci informed me that this is forever recorded online"> - immortailized at the Church's website where they have the entire thing
Oh well...

Weightlifting in Powell
Ever since I got back from Thailand, I have tried to get into working out more. This probably had more to do with Elliott looking like the Incredible Hulk and me looking like his Lanky Sidekick Gumby than anything. Amanda likes to go and run on the eliptical too, so we try to take a lot of dates to Powell Fitness Center here on campus (I know how to treat a lady!) Amanda always comments on how so many guys in there never really work out very much. Instead they do a set of curls or something and then go flex in the mirror for 20 minutes, put a towel over their shoulder and then leave. Well last saturday I was on the bench press, trying to lift as much weight as I possibly could. Usually, one of my friends are around to spot me, but not this day. Being the Muscle Head wanna be that I am, I figured, I'll know when to stop myself...
I was half way through my last set when tragedy struck.
All of the sudden I feel my muscles give way and BAM! My arms buckled and close to 200 lbs slammed onto my chest and I couldn't raise it at all. We're talking every single slapstick comedy moment that you have ever seen. My head is turning red because of strain and then blue because of lack of oxygen and no one was paying attention.
I tried to wiggle out from under the bar, but to no avail. Just when I thought that I was going to pass out a strong arm lifted the bar off of my chest and told me to be careful.
Who was it? Was it the gigantic Football Player from the other side of the room? Maybe the Lord sent a mighty angel down to save me...

Nope.
It was AMANDA. My little GIRLfriend, Amanda. When I saw that I thought that she should have just left it there on my chest, at least then it would my sternum instead of my ego that would have been crushed.
Afterwards, I told her that I was just trying out a new excerise technique and that she ruined it!
Sure you were David, sure you were...
Pretty AND strong - who knew?

Thats enough for this one - Maybe more another time
