Been a while…

It has been a long time since last I posted. I will try again.

Brief update:
First of all, my wife and I now have 2 boys:
That makes 2 Lil’ Griff’s. They are the best thing that has ever happened to me since Jesus and meeting my bride.
Secondly, I have been at All Star Toyota of Baton Rouge for about a year now. 3 months in, they made me the internet manager and now I have access to get you the best deals in town. So, if you live in Baton Rouge or shop online and need a great deal on a new or pre-owned car, this will be a place to look for it. Basically, you can expect to see some offers and great deals on new Toyota product and used cars of all shapes and sizes. This will have to suffice for now, but come to our website via AllStarAutomotive.com and ask for me. I’ll hook you up.

World’s Largest SERVE Shirt

Griffis — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:54:08 +0000

Shaquille O’Neal (Followable on Twitter as: @The_Real_Shaq) is teaming up with HPC, Servolution and Feed the Children to bring PB & Shaq. So, I was charged with the task of procuring a shirt large enough for The Big Aristotle. With the help of my friend Remie at KEY’s Graphics (225.927.9702 for the best T-Shirt guy in BR), we were able to make it happen. This is a 4XL-Tall. I am 6’4” and weigh in at 175lbs. Needless to say, I was swallowed by the massive shirt. I hope Shaq likes it. JP Brumfield’s design skills are going worldwide!!!!!!

Bring your Peanut Butter tonight to HPC Highland Campus to help feed the children and see Shaq Deisel!

Domo Arigato Get Some GELATO!

The Land of Milk and Honey

OK, if you like ice cream, I have great news for you. Something WAAAYY better than ice cream has come to the booming metropolis of Baton Rouge, LA. I know, I know, you are likely gearing up to move along and check some other blog, because you spurn the idea that ANYTHING could be better than America’s beloved ice cream. That is, unless you have ever had the privilege to leave this country and travel to the great land of Italy.

If you have, then I have great news for you. If you haven’t, there is delicious surprise in store for you. (of course this is strictly contingent on you living here in BR) Baton Rouge has some new residents straight from the land o’ Caesar. Our Roman friends, hale from the Vatican City area of Rome and bring us good tidings of great joy: GELATO! Authentic Gelato! To say it’s like ice cream is insulting. But for lack of a better comparison, it’s like ice cream, only all natural, richer, creamier and crazily deliciouser!

LOST!!! Screencap of Claire in last episode

Griffis — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 18:57:42 +0000

So, in case you didn’t know, I am a HUGE fan of LOST. It is the greatest television accomplishment of all time. With that, if you watch you understand how interesting this is. Check out the right side of the screen cap, just over Sun’s shoulder and notice our little Aussie friend Claire chilling, once again, in the shadows of a room with her daddy. I love this show and would love to hear your theories on what is going on this season, the best by far. Click the image below for a full size image that is easier to see.

With a little Photoshop:

Re-entry into Blogging

Griffis — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:24:37 +0000

So, after an extended blog hiatus, I am back. I have posted some photos here and there, but I have failed to sincerely blog in a very long time. For that, I’d apologize, but none of you have even checked this thing in a long time and therefore don’t likely care. That said, the reason for the hiatus is directly linked to Twitter.

If you don’t know about Twitter and don’t yet Twit, then you are missing out. I highly recommend you get into it. It’s the “way of the future.” My Twitter account can be followed at DaddyGriffis. Check it out! Other awesome people to follow include: the_real_shaq, jimmyfallon, dinorizzo, bigred1213, servolution, areowebee, fazha, dizzug, marccleary, mathewbarnett and many, many more. I’m telling you, Twitter is great fun and the best way to keep up with friends and such as. And the Iraq. Everybody else is doing it and you should too.

All that to say, join Twitter, follow me on Twitter and most importantly keep your blogroll locked in here at michaelgriffis.com for actual blogging. I’m back and better than ever!!!! DO NOT BE THE ONE MISSING OUT! Watercoolers will be buzzing with the great stuff you will find here: LOST, NFL, LSU, Servolution, HPC, everyday life, the service industry, retail detail, America, Obama. We will have it all in 2009!

Peace on you all, and I’m out!

Mustache Day 2008

Griffis — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:37:33 +0000

In case you missed it, last Friday was Mustache Day for HPC Staff men. Why, you ask, would anyone have a Mustache Day? Simple. If you can grow ‘em, show ‘em. Well, since I weild a solid beard, I certainly can grow ‘em. So, I embarked on the glorious journey into Mustache Infamy. And here is the progression that was “The GriffStache” 2008!

The Mustache was so solid, I made it into a full “Mustache Weekend.” And still I recklessly sling the ‘stache. How long will it last? Only time will tell! If you see me on the streets, say hello to my little friend and don’t be surprised when the ‘stache waves right back at ya’!

EPIC Worship

Griffis — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:29:05 +0000

What’s up all of my loyal reader. While I’m certain you are looking for more pictures of my incredibly good looking son, today’s post is more to enlighten those of you that don’t already know. And if you don’t know, now you know: The new Healing Place Church album is here . . . EPIC Worship is the heartbeat of the next generation of worshipers from Healing Place.

This CD was recorded at Amplified 2008 and truly is, in my opinion, the best thing we have been blessed enough to record. The songs are fresh and the hearts of those leading are strong after the heart of God. If you enjoy fresh, vibrant worship, you really do not want miss out on this album. The new album contains 13 original songs that can be found at the HPC Online Store, or you can download it from some great online music stores like: i-Tunes, amazon.com, and Rhapsody. I really think you’re going to like this CD, it’s incredible. Check it out today.

Once you get it, or if you already own it, I would love to know what you think about it. Chime in and let your voice be heard. Click the button and make a comment unlike everyone who commented on my baby in the drier pic, just not on the blog. I’m really disappointed I didn’t get more comments there. Anyway, have a groovy day!
