Chick-fil-Awesome
Last month while in Atlanta with Russ, Justin and Jen we entered Chick-fil-A (Because it’s awesome and we are awesome and general awesomeness was ruling the day) for a pretty dang memorable breakfast. As we walked in who would walk in behind us but Dan Cathy, current president of the greatest fast food place this side of heaven.
Did we talk to him? No. We just soaked in the greatness of the moment and enjoyed the extra friendly service from the CFA team as they tried to impress Mr. Chick-fil-A himself. (They brought napkins to our table!)
This morning I came across this from Dan’s father, Truett Cathy and thought it was worth sharing. It’s just some notes from a recent talk he gave at a Chick-Fil-A event but worth a quick read.
Enjoy. Share. Eat more chicken.

Waiting for the bus in style.
This guy dances like Michael Jackson whenever he’s waiting for the bus. Apparently, some guy noticed this dude outside their office window and filmed him over a 15-month period. Inspiring.

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.

THIS IS REAL.
This cross promotional ad for Vitamin Water/New Moon is laughably delicious.

Fun on the road
Got to speak for a group of Cookeville, TN teenagers this weekend as part of their retreat at Indian Creek Camp. It was awesome and most definitely memorable.
One lesson I will most definitely take with me:
I assumed there was a certain age you reached where you’re free from risk of having kids sneak in your cabin and hang your boxers on a flag pole.
I was wrong.
Teenagers are awesome. The future is bright.

A book hasn’t caused me this much trouble since Where’s Waldo went to that barber pole factory.

Spike Jonze Appreciation Moment.
In honor of Where The Wild Things Are and it’s long-awaited release into theaters - I wanted to share just a few reasons why I am a Spike fan. His series of skate videos are full of awesome moments, but this clip is one that, for a while, I watched on a daily basis.
While you’re at it check out these great videos. These are some of my personal favorites.
Spike’s IKEA ad (Simple. Awesome)
It’s Oh So Quiet music video (Magical)
Weezer’s Buddy Holly video (One of the first music videos I fell in love with.)
Beastie Boys Sabotage video (Continues to be one of my all time favorites)
Something I’ve always wanted to do.
“Praise You” video (That’s him leading the group.)

This is one of the greatest (and probably my favourite) pieces of music ever written for a movie.
Ennio Morricone - L’arena
Il mercenario, 1968 (dir. Sergio Corbucci)
AGREED. I wish this music played every time I made any decision in my life, be it big or small. The clip is pretty awesome too.
