Let me just say that I’ve got several friends out there who are jerks. James and Alisha Wall, Erik and Mary Timmons, Seth Harshman and many others who will go unnamed because I can’t think of them right now. I’ve been hearing about the Alias craze for nearly 2 years now and I’ve finally bought into it.
I’m not really a regularly scheduled program sort of guy, you know, the kind of person who plans their life around a show? But since Brandi and I have had our DVR (digital video recorder) with the dish, it’s been easier to pre-record shows we want to see which rarely happens because we’re basically at our house long enough to get a short’s night sleep then we’re off again. Anyway, I watched this year’s season premier a few weeks ago and was immediately hooked. I borrowed season one from James and Alisha and Brandi and I finished it in exactly 1 week! Of course, this was easy considering we didn’t really sleep due to the fact that the furnace broke here in the house we’re renting (sorry Aaron). While we were up not sleeping, we would huddle together and pop in one dvd after the other becoming more enthralled with each disk.
So, now I guess we’ll start season 2?

Ericson,
I can’t believe my son is addicted to a TV show! Now you’ve got me wondering what I’m missing.
Love you, bud.

Don’t feel bad, Pastor Ebbs. About 7 of us here have the first two season of Alias on DVD too, and we watch them every night we can get away with it.

Eric,
I’ve never seen Alias, but I must admit that I was somewhat hurt that I didn’t make your “Friends that are jerks” list.
I’ve tried for many years to keep myself up at the top of that list, and was indeed shocked and disappointed not to be on it. Hopefully it was only because I didn’t come to mind for that particular topic (i.e. Alias), otherwise there is a serious problem!
I think Timmons (and many others) would agree, and share stories willingly, with reasons I should be on the list.
Anyway, I know you already posted this list without me on it, but if you do publish another such list I would hope to gain further consideration.
The jerkiest jerk,
Dan

Man, I used to love the show…but that was when Jennifer and I were still together. After we started getting serious, she wasn’t willing to be a pastor’s wife…and that’s when I had to end it with her. I’m still friends with the rest of the family, but Jennifer is so ticked at me…oh well, God will provide for the both of us!

Dan,
I had to respond to you comment on Ebb’s blog to share a quick story about the first time we officially met @ IWU. I don’t know if you remember but we were in Baldwin eating dinner at the same table with all the Bowman guys when some dudes started throwing food in our general direction. At first we tried to ignore them and then I got really upset and started making comments about how I wished those idiots would stop throwing things or something like that when you said something like, “Dude, why don’t you just throw this apple at them?” I thought you were a jerk right away because I “knew” you wouldn’t do it. So I said, “No, I won’t do that but neither would you” because I thought there is no way some random dude is going to just throw an apple across a public place.
That’s when you picked up the apple and chucked it at the idiots! Wow, what a jerk! But what a great jerk!
Don’t worry Dan, you make my list of jerks!
Peace,
Timmons
