Happy Birthday Barry!

I've always said, "The God Lord has blessed me with many friends." This is very true, and I'm very thankful for it. Well, today is one of my best friends birthdays. Barry, aka The Ray, was born on this day ummm...21 years ago! (No, we don't call him Old Man Fuxa ;-).

I met Barry my freshman year of college, and we've been friends ever since. He is a wonderful person, and has been there for me time after time when I've needed him. He's also the best James Bond player I've ever seen (it's not even close), and an outstanding artist. If you ever want to see an example of his work, I have a painting of his in my bedroom. He's also happily married to an incredibly beautiful, exceptionally cool woman named Robin. Nothing makes me happier than spending time with the two of them; they truly inspire me.

So anyway, Barry I'm very glad you were born, because you are an unbelievable friend, and I don't even want to think about where I would be if it weren't for you. Have a great birthday, I hope you got lots of presents, and have an action packed weekend!

Barry sucks at Bond! Seriously though... someday, when they figure out how to let PC users play against XBox users, I'm coming for my revenge. Vinh would end up killing everyone, but I'd at least have a chance against The Ray.

Side note, everytime someone says "Regina," I remember Brad calling out her "Ghetto Booty." One of the truly great episodes of our time.

Side side note... speaking of Brad, if anyone cares to know -- I actually ran into him at this thing called OneDay03 in Texas about a year ago. It was a huge crowd of like 50,000 and I actually spotted our man Brad Belyeu. He's working on setting up off-campus houses near OCU for Christian guys to live in and encourage each other.

That's awesome Nick, thanks for the heads up on Brad. I hope he's doing well and is happy. Did someone tell me he got married?

Yeah, that was a good line, I have to admit.
