Update Season VII: "The OK Corral"

[Bacon King]

Good Saturday Morning!  Potentially big severe weather day ahead.  Must get sleep.  Over and out.

I slept well, now I'm about to begin the day.  My ankle is sore, so it will be a challenge walking this morning.  We have some big storms that are supposed to move through the next three days.  I'll be glued to the weather all afternoon and evening.  I love these events!  This is what I live for as a wannabe meteorologist.

Go outside and give us field report. Get out of the house and do something.

Sitting around eating cheetos and watching the weather channel will not get you to Kenya.

Weather.com gives OKC a 10% chance of rain today. Also, watching weather coverage on tv doesn't make one a meteorologist anymore than watching ESPN makes one an athlete.

Weather.com gives OKC a 10% chance of rain today. Also, watching weather coverage on tv doesn't make one a meteorologist anymore than watching ESPN makes one an athlete.

I had dreams of being a meteorologist as a child, but those are dreams that are not reachable at this point.

I track severe weather all across Oklahoma, not just Oklahoma City.  I even have a blog on my facebook that I update my followers on severe weather conditions across the state, since I have friends everywhere in Oklahoma.  I even cover the panhandle as I have friends who live in Harper County which is just outside the panhandle.

Anyway, I did walk today despite a sore ankle.  My ankle limited me to 0.80 mile in 18:15.  I wanted to go at least another half mile, but my ankle was really hurting and I was starting to limp back to the car.  I then had Subway for lunch before coming home.  It wasn't as far as I wanted to walk, but it was better than sitting on my bottom all day.  I may allow my ankle to rest tomorrow as I'll be super busy most of the day with very little time to walk.  I've got to lead the music tomorrow morning at church, then I'll have a little time in the afternoon, but I'll be tracking severe weather again, then I have the Packing Party from 16:00-17:30, I'm preaching tomorrow night from 18:00-19:15, and then I am helping my cousin get the kids to bed from 19:30-21:30.  Her husband (my Pastor) is now in Haiti on a mission trip for the next week, so I have offered to help put the kids to bed each evening while he's gone.  Putting 6 kids to bed by yourself, I'm sure is not easy.

Try just eating one sandwich, like a normal person.

If we're talking about the typical weak, thin, homemade sandwich - two slices of white bread, a couple of thin slices of ham and maybe one thin slice of Swiss cheese, with a little mustard and mayo, I'd probably eat two of those as well.  One is nothing.

Did he copy and paste the weather report?

His parents might find out he's friends with an atheist. Then, he'd be homeless.

Copied and pasted between the blog and my main wall.

I typed it all my own.

I just approved Walter as a friend.

My parents could care less who I'm friends with, and I could care less if they cared more.

Looks like he's made one good decision over the past few years. Unless he has a desire to hear about how awesome Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed are or has a fondness for sandwich wraps.

Yeah, but they're both weather nazis so that will work.

May I ask the forum a question?  Anybody who wants to respond feel free?

Why am I not encouraged to follow my dreams?  Am I somehow not allowed to follow my dreams?  Every time I mention something I hear people constantly saying "it's impossible", "don't try it", "you're wasting your time", "it's a pipe dream", etc.

I have made many mistakes, but it doesn't mean I have no right to pursue my dreams.

Because it's is actually important I'll break my vow of update silence and explain this one for you. (And yeah all these gifs has a specific message I'm trying to make, although admittedly some are so abstract I'm not really expecting anyone get them).

The net symbolizes your goals.

The jumping man is you.

His rolls of fat are your rolls of fat and also symbolizes your numerous habits that are unhealthy for you mentally and physically.

The mat is your dependency on others because you're unable to take care of yourself.

EDIT: And just so we're clear I'll go ahead and connect the dots between these concepts. If you try to keep your eye on the prize without solving the problems that are holding you back you'll fail and nothing will change. Get your day to day life in order before you even think about what your plans will be more than like a year from now. If you can't even motivate yourself to walk around the block how do you think you'll motivate yourself to focus on your education and graduate at the time you're expecting, let alone keep up with all the other things you want to do after that?

What you don't realize, BK, is my life is in order.  I do have things together.  No body believes me, but I seriously do have things together.  I've got my God to fill in the gaps.  One thing I know is certain, the duration of my life will be focused on foreign missions (a very noble and non-egotistical endeavor).  It just remains a question of which capacity do I enter the mission field?  Do I enter through the Peace Corps (which is foreign missions) or do I enter directly through Maisha?  That part, I don't have figured out, yet.  As far as my weight goes, would people please give me a freakin' chance!!!!!  I am going to a Dietitian next Wednesday, but not a single post has been made on that.  Everybody is saying I am doomed and have absolutely no hope.  Where is the encouragement in that?  Give me a chance!!!!

Why should we mention your dietician?  History has shown us that you don't listen to your doctors.  A year ago, you were seeing the new Indian doctor who told you to lose weight, and back then, you vowed to lose weight.  Month after month, you keep telling us you're going to lose weight, yet it hasn't happened.  Why is this time going to be any different?  Sure, you think it's going to be, but the precedent says otherwise.

Precedent may say otherwise, but that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the future.

I wish people would give me a chance before they say I'm hopeless and I will never change and attempt to discourage me from doing something radical.  My dreams don't have to be what everybody else is doing.  I can have radical dreams, and I can achieve them.

Success breeds success.  Failure breeds failure.  It's not just a trend, it's quantum mechanics.  

EDIT:  Also, Jeff, I'm a high school sophomore whose parents forced me to join the high school cross country team despite my complete lack of desire to do it.  But I sucked it up and ran from 6-12 miles(the 12 miles would be spread out over 2 practices) every day.  If I can do that, then you can walk a freaking quarter mile every day.  Come on!  Show a little discipline!  If you don't have the discipline to do extremely easy walking, how could you ever have the discipline to be a missionary at Kenya?

Good lord, what offensive nonsense.  You're completely duped, I'm afraid, HPJ.  BushOK can't do anything about his fate any more than any of us can.

All I'm saying is that if you keep failing, you're more likely to fail in the future.  So, if he wants to succeed, he needs to change course.  A free-throw shooter after never doing it right in practice would have a hard time making it in the real thing.  What I'm suggesting is that Bushie starts making real, significant adjustments now.  Then, success will start to pile up.  Bushie can help himself - after all, people are responsible for their own actions, including diet and exercise.  He just needs to make adjustments. 

I think Bushie's dream can succeed, but only with a significant attitudinal adjustment.

The latest BushOK Facebook status update is beautiful.
