Brian David McIntire
I met Brian many moons ago
if I had to guess
it was about 4,380 moons ago
unless of course it was a cloudy night
Brian is like a best friend meets brother to me
I like to call it - best-brother
Brian has taught me many many things
probably one of the top 10 most influential people in my life
he has challenged my thinking
musically
politically
personally
religiously
relationally
futuristically
family-ally
there aren't many aspects of my life
actually none that i can think of
that he hasn't affected
but, the most recent
and possibly the most significant affect
he's had on my life
and my daily activity is
e-mail
years ago he hounded me for not checking my e-mail regularly
thanks to him
today i check my e-mail probably 20 times a day
it's boardeline addiction
a few months ago i found out something new about Brain
somehow the topic of filing e-mails into folders came up
and i discovered that he NEVER files e-mails
NEVER
like, none of them
this BLEW my mind
i couldn't think straight
oh the hours i've spent "cleaning out" my inbox
making sure everything was "filed"
and in it's right spot
to think of leaving them all in my inbox
and never even attempting to file them
knocked me off my rocker
thanks to Brian
today i file no e-mails
they all live together
happily in my inbox
never has such harmony been obtained in my e-mail relm
i now count it loss all the hours i spent
filing
clicking "move"
and then checking that folder to make sure it went in the right one
heaven forbid it didn't
and i'd have to use GMAIL's genious "search" feature
which would find the e-mail quicker than me trying to figure out
what folder i put it into anyway
so...here's to you BDM
for changing my life (seriously)
and for changing my email (jokingly, but seriously)
if i had to choose a color that described the mood with which i write this
it would be green and gold
if I had to guess
it was about 4,380 moons ago

bragging
i'm soo proud of my sister
not only because she is an amazing mom
and sister
but she is a skillful craftereer
she makes truly unique women's and baby accessories
before she got real famous i even commissioned her to
make me a custom denim cover for my amp head
which she and my mom whipped up in no time!
she even made me two beautiful camera lens cases
there's nothing she can't do
today, i found out she has a new product
i quickly went to her etsy shop to check it out
only to find that she is closed till June
so i helped myself to perusing her customer feedback
reading what people thought about what they bought and
the experience they had with my sister gave me just as much
joy and pride as looking at her beautiful creations
as i was snooping i came accross this comment and it immediately made me smile
"I LOVE the diaper clutch and burp cloth... it matches my diaper bag... much better than anything I have seen in a boutique...thanks for making a custom order for me! You Guys Kick A$$!"
here's to you big sister
to finding a way to express yourself
to blessing others in the process
to finding a way to make your dreams come true
to letting people see what i've always seen in you
today, you are my hero!
