Spiritual Gifts.

I am so glad that I know people that have the spiritual gift of web surfing. Steve Knight is one of those people. Steve Knight is a genius.

Do yourself, your friends, and your loved ones a favor. Go to knightopia.com/journal and watch this.

I laughed so hard I tinkled.

P.S.
I don't really know how to do the trackback/ping thing. It's never worked our our blogs. So if I'm not following proper blog etiquette, I apologize to Steve and the blog-sensitive.

CHIEFS WIN SUPERBOWL!!!

Can you believe it? They've done it!! The Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl!!!!!

Oh man. This is the greatest day of my life. I've waited... a lot of years for this day. But finally it's happened; The Chiefs have won THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

I'll admit it: I had almost given up faith that they could win the Super Bowl this year. First of all, they weren't very good this year. Secondly, they didn't make the playoffs. And thirdly, they are in the AFC West, which is a pretty tough division.

I remember when I was a small child my father, Len Dawson, would sit me on his knee, reminiscing about the time right before I was born when the Chiefs first won the Super Bowl (Super Bowl IV). I remember thinking, gee, I wonder if I'll ever live to see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. Well, now I have.

And I was their Quarterback!

Wow. Me. Quarterbacking the Chiefs in a big Super Bowl win. MVP honors were a pleasant surprise. Breaking the total yards and number of touchdowns thrown for a quarterback in the Super Bowl was nice, too. But what is important here is that the Chiefs have won the Super Bowl.

In conclusion: I am really happy that the Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl.

Another snapshot of the Big Celebration...

James wanted to see a picture of me with the Lombardi Trophy, Lamar Hunt and Terry Bradshaw. So here it is.

I don't know why James needed me to post this. These pictures should be all over the web, what with the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl and everything.

Hotel Rwanda.

Nate and I saw the movie Hotel Rwanda last night. It was a chilling and eye-opening movie. Given the subject matter of the film, there was suprisingly little on-screen violence in the film. Because of that, I really feel like this is an important film for people to see. Especially highschool folks.

The events in Rwanda in 1994 (and the non-events elsewhere in the world) are a permenant reminder to us all that when we stand by and watch evil take place, we are responsible for that evil. We participate in that evil.

If you'd like to get a good sense of what happened in Rwanda, I'd recommend going to the Hotel Rwanda film website. Click on FACTS on the top right, then click on Timeline on the bottom right.

I would highly recommend watching PBS' FRONTLINE documentary on the Rwanda events. FRONTLINE is, in my opinion, the best show on television. They consistantly shed new light on very important topics. The Rwandan Genocide is no exception. The online version only shows you about half of the program (and unfortunately cuts out some amazing stories of heroism) but it still gives you a very good sense of what happened over there.

It's heavy stuff. But if we don't learn from history we're destined to... not care.
