Top 5 Worst Smells

1. Vineger - Tops in at #1 maybe because it's not too uncommon. But I hate the smell of it, it is horrible to me.

2. Fermented Fruit - Nothing pleasant about this one. I always recall this because at camp cleaning the juice hoses have that odor.

3. Vomit - Awful smell, luckily it's not as common as many others one may have to experience.

4. Sulfur - Hmm...yea...rotten egg smell....no thanks...

5. Dead Animal - if an animal has died and decayed for a about a week....definetly not pleasant at all.

Oh, and if you haven't checked it out yet, I posted a new blog here - Separations.

Top 5 Names

I debated if this should be real names or crated ones...I am going to go with ones that I like based on whether they are real or fake.

1. Ender -  Cool name.

2. Bryce - I lke this name as well.

3. Porcelain - No one I know likes the name Porcelain, but I don't care I think it's awesome.

4. Joshua - I like the name Joshua, but not so much if it's shortened to Josh.

5. Cierra - I like this name not too different but it just sounds cool.

Top 5 People I Would Like To Meet - 2 Part

Ok this was a proposed list idea so I'm going to run with it. But I thought for a second why limit myself here? So I will do a top 5 People I Would Like To Meet From The Past and a top 5 People I would Like To Meet in the Present. Basically a list of living and a list of dead people I would like to meet. Oh, and I am only going to choose people within the last century for those that are dead.


Top 5 People From The Past I Would Like To Meet

1. Mother Teresa - I think she truly was one of the truest examples of what it means to live a life of servitude.

2. Jim Braddock - The "Cinderella Man" story. It's absolutely wonderful to see a man inspire a nation during the the most impoverished time in our nation - The Great Depression.

3. Martin Luther King Jr. - Now I do feel he is a bit overhyped in the wrong ways and I think most people don't truly look at what he did. I think it's really cool to see a movement happen without violence, words are powerful men like him and I should throw Booker T. Washington in as well. Just an inspiring story.

4. Thomas Edison - I've always been fascinated with the idea of being an inventor and he was one of the most well-reknown.

5. Edgar Allen Poe - I love the way he writes and his vocabulary is so vast I envy his innovative word usage in virtually all of his work.



Top 5 Current People I Would Like To Meet

1. Erwin Raphael McManus - One of my favorite writers, very down to earth, and has such a great way to challenge one's faith.

2. Francis Chan- I find him inspiring, and pretty legit. I like the way he speaks and the way he writes

3. Chris Carrabba - Lead singer of Dashboard Confessional. Seeing him in concert I just find him a very down to earth guy. I think he is very grateful for his fans. His lyrics are some of the best in the history of all music in my opinion.

4. John Cusack - One of my favorite actors. I just think it would be cool to talk to him and hear about his favorite roles and what not.

5. Steven Spielberg - Great Director. He has done so many good movies, I'd like to see his insight and approach to taking on a film.

Top 5 Roller Coasters

Indeed I am a fan of roller coasters, I find them quite thrilling and fun. Sadly, I have not ridden as many as I would like to have, but this will be a list of my top 5 I have rode.

1. The Hulk - Featured at Universal Studios Islands of Adventures, totally sweet ride...launches you out of the tunnel and is one of the longest coasters I have ridden.

2. Batman - Six Flag Over Georgia - many inverts, feet dangle, and it's just plain fast

3. Dueling Dragons - Featured at Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure - No roller coaster is like this one. It is two separate danglefeet coasters that throughout the ride interweave each other and come so close to one another throughout the ride. Also walking through the entrance alone is an experience, as you walk through a castle that looks to be destroyed by the fire and ice dragons.

4. Ninja - Six Flags Over Georgia - This is my favorite visually stunning roller coaster. It just looks crazy awesome. It has about 5 inverts and a wide open free fall over a lake. Just check the picture out!

5. DejaVu - Six Flags Over Georgia - Well first of all this ride no longer exists which is why it falls into the number five spot. It was definetly the most innovative ride around. Before Goliath, it was the tallest and fastest ride at Six Flags Over Georgia, going both forwards and backwards, this bad-boy was sick.

Top 5 Time Periods I Would Like To Visit

1. 20 A.D. - Middle East - How cool would it be to see all the stories we've read and heard about Christ to see them happen in reality. I'd like to follow Him around for a few years.

2. 100 A.D. - In the Roman Empire. Right after the colosseum's construction...the heart of one of the greatest legacies ever in the history of the world.

3. 1250 A.D. - England - During the English rule towards the end of the crusades, during the times of knights and castles.

4. 4000 B.C. - The Garden of Eden - Well this has been a debatable subject but I do agree with the research that says the earth is 6000 years old. So I just want to go back and slap Adam and Eve...haha. Ohhhh, if only they knew hindsight was 20/20 and saw what the world would become. That's kind of a joke, but I think it would be cool to see what the earth was like before the fall of man. I guess we will see in due time when God fixes it all back the way it was supposed to be.

5. 1940 A.D. - I really wish I was born about this time. There is so much I like about the following decades , I just think about how cool it would be to live during them.


This brings me to the conclusion of how much fun a time machine would be....although it would corrupt any man I do believe.

Top 5 Bible Heroes

So, I am somewhat losing the ability to create unique top 5 lists, I keep wanting to go back to something involving music or movies...so if you have any ideas throw them at me!

This list will be my personal favorite heroes from the bible that inspire me. I won't include Christ in this list because I don't look at him so much as an inspiration as I do a savior.

1. Paul - He wrote virtually the whole new testament. I just think based on his ability to write and be so cutting to the point, I'd love to just sit and have a conversation with him. His life was a total surrender to God.

2. Job - Satan came to God and basically said he could rock the faith of any man and God said go challenge my servant Job. Imagine the faith of Job for God to pick him out of all of humanity. Despite the torturous days and nights that Satan threw at Job he did not faulter. Not even his friends or family would cause Job to fall. This was a man who knew where his foundation stood on solid rock.

3. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - Corrupt king, an idol, and a fiery furnace. I love playing with fire (fireworks are totall fun), but no way in my right mind would I ever walk into a fiery furnace. Fire is hot and it is unpleasant to be burned by it. Yet these three young men without hesitation trust in God so much that they just walk right into a blazing furnice. Returning out of it without a hint of the slightest burn.

4. Thomas - I am biased on this one, but Thomas, one of the twelve disciples has always been a biblical figure I always took close attention to. Infamous for being a doubter, but he truly is the type of follower I think many of us are today. We all doubt at times, well, at least I do at times. But there are a few moments where Thomas shows a loyalty to Christ that is very real. Before Christ went to Bethany to see Lazarus (which he would soon raise from the dead), the disciples tried to stop Jesus from going in fear that he would be killed, but Thomas steps in and says "Let us also go, that we may die with Him." (John 11:16). I find my faith is often that I have trouble seeing all of God, but at the end of the day I am so willing to lay my life down for Him.

5. Hosea - A man that truly followed God and his will. Hosea marries a prostitute as God commanded. How would that look in our society today, or more so in our institutions? I can't imagine the backlash Hosea received from friends and family. Looking at today's churches, how many christians would be gossiping and glaring at the very sight of this. Hosea was a man unbound by the ways of the world, unafraid by the rejection of those around him.


So what's next for a top 5 list?

Top 5 Indoor Activities

So I did a Top 5 Outdoor Activities....so why not an indoor one...


1. Playing Board Games - By that of course I mean designer board games, not Monopoly or Checkers.

2. Watching Movies - Although this is one I prefer doing by myself, as I find watching movies quite anti-social and would much prefer playing board games (see #1)

3. Reading - Sure this could be indoors or outdoors, but most often when I read it is indoors on my bed.

4. Computer Stuff - We all do it, browse around, get on Facebook, shop...etc.

5. Play Video Games - Typically a last resort for me, especially if I am by myself, but they are ok from time to time.

I must admit I really wanted to put sleep on here...but decided that was a lame excuse for an activity...even though I do like sleep and my bed pretty good.
