Christmas Re-Cap

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Well, Christmas has come and gone as quickly as you can say Glomerular Filtration Rate (Courtesy of B-Vas and Stacie). This was a pretty memorable christmas for our family since it was the year we decided to start some new traditions. Seeing as I am Hispanic, we celebrated Nochebuena as usual.

We had an absolutely awesome meal thanks to my wonderful mother. (Seriously, she can make a living doing this!!). After dinner, we had our next door neighbors over for cookie decorating and gift opening.


My mom thought it would be cute for all of us to wear pajamas, and that became tradition #1.



Being the Awesome cookie dough baker that she is, my sister came up with the idea of decorating our own cookies which became Tradition #2.

Does my cookie rock or what?

Then Came the gifts...

Yes that's right...Guitar Hero came out for mac....AND I GOT IT!!!

Gifted Wrapper!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

I just finished all my gift wrapping.

Can anyone guess what this is? (hint:clues are in the background)

I am Alive!!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Yes, that's right. I am alive!!. I am sorry I have been gone for such a long time. In all honesty, it's not that I have been too busy to post, or that I couldn't think of anything to post about. I have simply been lazy and have totally neglected it.

Here at Mindofbert.com we appreciate your continued support and loyalty and we would like to extend our most sincere apologies for our recent hiatus. All regularly scheduled posting will recommence henceforth (at least we will try.)

- Bert (Mind of Bert C.E.O.)

I honestly didn't really notice it had been so long since my last post until a certain someone made an eye opening statement to me via ichat.

Thanks for the push!!!

I'm back now

Now that I have extended my apologies, allow me to update you on some of the recent happenings in my life. 

• My car repair is almost done and should be ready next week. 
• A fellow employee gave me an F.M. transmitter for my ipod for secret santa so I can now listen to my tunes while driving my ugly yellow car. 
• I am officially all caught up with my lab hours. In two months I went from having 109 lab hours to having over 275 lab hours all while working a full time job. Not Bad!!
• Today is Christmas Eve and I just finished my Shopping. 
• As with most americans, I have totally neglected my diet this month (details later) Tis the season to gain weight!!

 There is still much more I have to share so stay tuned!!

I bought an iphone today!!!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Yes, you read correctly. I purchased an iphone today. However, before you start to feel happy for me, allow me to clarify. I did not purchase it for myself. Infact I didn't even really purchase it (No I didn't steal it). You see, tomorrow my brother in law Carlos will be traveling to Ecuador to visit his family and they asked him to bring them an iphone. For those of you who know me well, you know I wouldn't pass up a trip to the white and brushed metal heaven that is The Apple Store. So we went to get the iphone but apparently Apple no longer accepts cash for iphones because they want to be able to track them to prevent hacking or something like that (I'm still a little confused on the whole matter). Since I was the only one that had my credit card on me, I forcefully volunteered to pay with my card and take the cash. So there you have it. I can finally say I purchased an iphone even though I am still using my mute math phone.

Hillsong Conference Update

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Well, it's been about 1 month since I went to the Hillsong United Conference, and I still feel like it was just yesterday that I came back. I know I have said this over and over again, but this conference totally changed my life and opened my eyes to what true worship really is. I can't wait until the next conference. Today I discovered a really cool website I wanted to share with you guys. It's actually a blog created by someone who attended the conference. It's written in portuguese (enjoy Heredes!!) but it has some really great pictures, videos, and sound clips. Here is an example. Enjoy!!

Next up....Passion 08!!!

Rabbit in Your Headlights

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

As many of you know, I am a pretty big fan of the band Radiohead. My brother in law Carlos got me into them a few months ago and I have become absolutely hooked. Their music is pretty weird yet awesome at the same time. Their lyric is very poetic and abstract so one song can have a specific meaning to one person and a total different meaning to someone else. 

 allow me to share one with you guys. 

This song is actually not a Radiohead song but it is sung by the band's lead singer Thom Yorke. The song is by a british band called UNKLE. I'll let you watch the video first then I'll tell you what I got out of it.

 

As you can see the man starts walking down a highway wearing a heavy coat or parka. Some say that the parka represents his thoughts weighing him down and making him oblivious to everything else. As he keeps getting run over again and again, he is totally ignored and even laughed at by the people around him (remind you of anyone?). He finally takes off his coat, gives a slight smile and opens his arms in a crucifix like position. It seems like he has become invincible and is totally aware of it. Well, you know what happens next. 

Ever feel like you are the one carrying that heavy coat and being weighed down by it. Ever feel like life is running you over and it seems like no one cares? God wants us to take off that coat that keeps weighing us down, and be invincible.

What's your parka?
