Stats Suck Sunday – In Bullet Points
Welcome to Sunday everyone. You all know the rules. I’m sitting here watching Madagascar 2 and have several things on my mind and it’s a perfect day for some bullet points. For those of you just joining, here’s how Stats Suck Sunday works. I write random things and we talk about it. Then you guys write random stuff and we talk about it. What makes that different than any other day? I’m not sure, but we can bet your stats will be less today then they are during the week. Here goes.
- First up, I want to draw some attention to something that I think is pretty cool. You may look at it and not think much of it, but it’s something that (to my knowledge) isn’t being done yet in new ‘Christian Music Twitter Craze’. Check out MercyMe’s blog and take a look at their Twitter updates in the sidebar. Notice anything awesome? Yep. All three of their feeds are coming into the sidebar (@bartmillard, @robbyshaffer and @mmslobs). Not reinventing the wheel here, but it’s cool to try new things.
- I played this morning at church and I’m not entirely sure it could have gone worse. First off the electric guitar player didn’t show up so it was a ‘one guitar’ Sunday. The problem? The songs were primarily electric and I was playing acoustic. Broke a string on the first song of the second service, stalled before the third song to change it, but in the process of changing it, I lost my pick forcing me to use my non-existent fingernails. Can we say ‘train-wreck’?
- ‘God Gave Rock And Roll To You‘ has been stuck in my head since lunch.
- In case you missed it, we did a last minute broadcast of the MercyMe / Addison Road show the other night and it seemed to go off without a hitch. In fact we had almost 4,000 people watching online thanks to you all spreading the word so fast.
- Randy and I rode about 80 miles on scooters yesterday all over the Nashville area. Hopefully there will be some video documentation once I have the energy to edit it. Oh yeah, and he’s 30 and I’m not.
- We had 2 out of 3 boys in our bed before five o’clock this morning. One that wouldn’t stop yelling “Mommy Poop” and the other that said he was scared.
- Still hoping to kick this cold I have had for a few days, but I don’t think riding a scooter for the entire day helped any.
- I realized yesterday that any time I go jogging, which isn’t often, there’s no possible way that I look like a jogger, but more like someone running from the law. Maybe that’s why I don’t jog.
That’s about it for now. All the random thoughts floating around in my head right now. Hopefully you are all having a lovely Sunday. Let’s hear your Random thoughts.
Ready? Go.

dude, the sunday morning train-wreck story made me laugh out loud….so funny.
There were 4000 online at one time or another the other night? No wonder I couldn’t keep up with the conversation! Oh my gosh! I kept have to toggle back up to make sure I didn’t miss stuff! A few of us diehards talked for nearly an hour after MM finished. You would have thought we were waiting for Bart.
Just remember you WILL be 30 in 6 days!
I hope you get to feeling better. My daughter has been coughing for almost 2 weeks. All viral. Don’t know of anything else OTC for you to try.
Hope tomorrow goes better. No train wrecks allowed.
Yes, a train wreck for sure but I tried to make up for it with the punk P-bass sound. I’m going to give you one of my “glow in the dark” picks that I bought especially for playing there. I’ve had the same experience! If I’d have known we were sans the electric I would have played electric and we could have copped the bass on the keys… Oh well, it was exciting!
and… I can’t imagine you jogging (from the law)
Today I FEEL like the train wreck, so thanks for the laughs at your expense from your random thoughts. Thanks a lot. Now that song is stuck in my head too.
Wow, that’s awesome there was almost 4k watching MM! I sure hope those scooters scoot faster than the ones here do! It’s a crack up to see people riding them & a pain when behind one!
