http://www.uglyblog.com This is my life - by Eric Holmlund Thu, 31 May 2007 23:59:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Recently we watched the Will Ferrell movie, Kicking and Screaming, in which Ferrell’s character becomes the coach of his son’s soccer team… In one of the opening scenes, they show up for soccer practice and all the parents were like, “they’re looking for one of the parents to coach the ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/me-a-soccer-coach/ By Ray Charles Istre Was Jesus ugly? The Bible seems to indicate that he might have been… He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/ugly-jesus/ Which of the American Idol contestants are Christians? Of course it’s hard for us to know with much certainty… Some of them might be believers, but choose not to make it apart of their publicly known profile. Others may claim to know God (like 80% of Americans), but never have ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/which-americal-idol-contestants-are-christians/ I was going to write an essay about how the the popularization of the term “Idol” proves the prevalence of idolism in modern society (I really do believe that), but I just don’t have time at the moment, so I’ll just tell you my favorites instead… We don’t watch much TV, ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/my-american-idol-picks/ I always think its funny when they come out with a new study and announce something that we’ve known for a very long time. Like today, I saw the headline on Yahoo, “Hot tubs a breeding ground for bacteria” Haven’t we known that since like the 1960’s? http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/old-news-hot-tubs-a-breeding-ground-for-bacteria/ Last night was “Daddy night” so I took the kids to the Denver “Downtown Aquarium” (formerly known as Ocean Journey). After Ocean Journey went bankrupt, it was purchased by Landry’s Seafood Restaurants, and now it’s a restaurant/aquarium. I was expecting the exhibits to be a bit weak, since it’s ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/denver-downtown-aquarium/ You know when you read something, and it looks like it says something else? I logged onto the net today and saw the headline: “Paypal assailant may be jailed until 2010″ I got really excited because I was like, yes they’re really cracking down on those Paypal spoof scammers. It was not to ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/paypal-assailant/ Umm, you know that post I made yesterday? Well just never mind. (Steelers beat Broncos 34-17 ) http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/ignore-yestderdays-post/ Our Saturday night service at church was totally packed out this evening, because everyone is going to stay home tomorrow to watch the Broncos game (kind of sad, eh?). Well I’m not really a big football fan, and I’m not yet sure if I’ll watch the game, but I’d just ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/go-broncos/ I have officially launched my new “Eric’s Tips” blog at: www.ericstips.com Admittedly, I’ve somewhat strayed from my original intent to keep my personal life and business life integrated in one blog here at Ugly Blog. I’ve decided to seperate the purely business aspect, and put my marketing tips and adventures in a ... http://www.uglyblog.com/archives/2006/eric-launches-new-marketing-blog/
