alright folks. by popular demand... i give you the dab chronicles.
fyi - dab is a nickname i picked up from a friend. i sent her an e-mail and signed it dab instead of dan... the b key is right next to the n key... well, now that THAT'S out of the way...
hello. hey there. come on in and sit down. allow me to introduce myself.
*shakes your hand with a cheesy grin*
my name is danny churchill.
i thought a formal introduction would be appropriate since you'll be reading my deepest thoughts and all. call me old fashioned.
ok. here's a few things about me that you might not know.
1. it's 5:39am and i'm still awake. over the past few months i've developed a pretty terrible sleeping schedule. i mean, i've always gone to sleep at a fairly unreasonable hour... but lately it's been sick. i think it's partially due to the fact that i have a completely ridiculous fear. which leads me to my #2.
2. i have this ridiculous fear that if i go to bed without enough sleep (8-6 hours), i'll sleep through my alarm and i'll be late for work. so if it's oh i don't know, 3am and i have to get up at 8am... i think to myself, "yikes... 5 hours... that won't be enough... i'm just gonna stay up all night and then sleep after work." THIS my friends is stupidity... but you're not stupid, so you knew that. ugh...
3. i love dots. in my sentences and in my belly. you've probably noticed by now that sometimes instead of using the standard period, i'll use a row of 3 dots... like that. i don't know why, i just like it. back off. also, i've recently developed a love for the chewy candy dots. yummy!
4. another punctuation fact. i don't like to capitalize the first letter of a sentence... don't know why on that one either.
5. i hate roller coasters. yuck. get them away. actually i think i hate rides in general. along with water skiing, snow tubing, ice skating, sky diving, bunji-jumping and anything else where my body is being flung around in the air, across water or down hills.
6. God gave me the ability to play guitar. one night a girl prayed for me and then BAM... i could play... (an extended version of that story will be coming your way soon)
7. i love the show LOST. if you're not a fan, then you're not a friend... just kidding... we can still be friends... but seriously, it's the best show on television. SO GOOD!
8. i attended a discipleship training school at YWAM in MN and it changed my life. you'll hear about it frequently i'm sure.
9. i'm super close to my parents and to my brother joey. they are my best friends.
10. i have a dog named moses.
and there you have it! 10 things i hate about you... even though they were about me... and i don't hate them... well i don't hate ALL of them.
alright kids... it's time to get ready for work.
peace.

Okay, dude. Danny. I know you have amazing things to say on this post. I can KIND OF make them out. But I'm straining, man. I'm straining. The letters are SO, SO TINY. Is that intentional? Is it just my computer doing that??
Is there a way to make the font bigger? I really wanna read your words, man!
yeah danny. your momma is in declining vision world and this print looks like little fleas to me. But i LOVED what you said here. i never knew the story of "dab" and i didn't know that you like dots (the edible ones...i obviously knew you liked these dots...) you also like to say "ha". (see how i notice the little things like a good mom?)
anyway, welcome to the wonderful, transforming blogosphere. i love it that i lured you here like a pied piper. another thing you'll no doubt remember fondly when i'm dead. :)
I know that panicked feeling of "Oh my gosh, I'm not going to get enough sleep!" It happened when I first went to work on the night shift. Knowing that I would be pulling large equipment behind me on not enough shut-eye was to say the least, a little un-nerving.
Which of course would not allow me to fall asleep. Which caused more anxiety and then less sleep and, well, you get the picture.
Being an old pro now at when and how to get sleep, I would be more than happy to impart the secrets of the universe to you.
Dan,
I like dots too. I used to wear the mess out of em when I was IM-ing a lot. I even posted a blog called "Elliptically Enraptured in the Night" a few years ago. It was about my use of ellipsis, and well, just a copy of a yahoo convo I had with someone. It was personal, so I ended up takin it down.
The story of how you learned to play guitar sounds mad cool. You're gonna have to tell that WHOLE story one day.
Your moms is mad chill, so if that whole "apple doesn't fall too far from the tree" thing is true, then you gotta be aight.
christianne & mom-
alright ladies... chill out... problem solved... i think (:
sorry about that... my final product on the computer i did it on looked great... but when i got to work and looked at it again, i could see what you were talking about... super tiny font! ha... my bad... lemme know if you can read it now.
daddy-
DUDE! hook a son up. i think i have insomnia. pretty much exactly what you wrote is how i feel at night.
nathan-
i like your style. yes... the moms is mad tight. as are dots. good man. i'd like to think i'm a mama's boy... so we'll see how i measure up.
thanks for stopping by!
danny...dab! always wondered where that came from.... but my math figured joey must have called you that when he was 2 and it stuck but keyboard slip, really? lol! pastor dab. oh and i think 'terrible sleeping schedule' was a triple digit err letter keyboard slip...an extra 'ble' maybe...cuz maybe just maybe it's a 'terri sleeping schedule' you subconsciously acquired or something?
danny, dave, dudes! you got the counseling pastor - honeys. let her fix you.
everyone...danny is the best worship leader EVER! instant at the throne anointed overflowing heart cannot contain itself inside the body worship! it's true.
love you danny!
ok now back to mamas blog...i was going to say something there, focus di, focus!
thanks, danny, for fixing the font size! MUCH better now.
i don't think i'm going to be able to call you dab. i like danny too much. it's already stuck on me. but i love knowing the story behind dab.
i like dots the candy too. they're kinda like jujyfruits, which i also like. but those are both subpar to hot tamales . . . the annointed candy of God.
sorry to hear about your sleeping trouble. i don't have issues with the hours of sleep anxiety; mine is more "so many things running through my mind or that i'm worried or preoccupied or excited about" kind of not being able to sleep. i hope your pops helps you figure out a way to let yourself dwell in the rest, even if it's less than ideal number of hours.
i love the way di described the way you lead worship. i feel like i'm right there in the moment, getting it, the way she described it.
i love your whole family! when's joey gonna start blogging, and his wife? and what about joby, our other sister?? i'd like to meet these people too, so please pass along the message that being a part of this family means blogging required. just kidding, of course. kind of.
Hey D...I LOVE DOTS TOO!!! I've thought about why I love em...and I think that...well...for sure I'm not a writer...I'm a talker...so I feel like it's more like talking when there's dots...if I'm in a mode where I know dots aren't appropriate then I'm just writing...not talking...you know?
Hey...are we ever going to hear on this blog about what we found early one morning outside the guest house in Bonnefe?
Oh...ps...you would probably sleep better if you would stop playing Halo all night...we're gonna keep ya honest on this blog honey!!!
love...
Hi Danny, I'm Dean (Just thought I'd be formal too...)
At this rate I'm gonna have to come over to MN just to get my blogging and bloggers straightened out in my head.
Oh and I'm with Nathan on the apple and tree thing.
Hey, if anyone wants to get a taste of hearing Danny play and sing you can go here.
oh danny. hello, bro! so glad you caved in to our demands you start your own blog; i'm sure it took some pretty heavy-duty arm-twisting? ;o)
yes, i love your mom. my own mom is ridiculously cool, too but is crazy scared of computers. so no blogs from mine any time soon. :o(
you should see the e-mails between christianne & i. all lowercase. does that make us extra-cool?
'lost' starts past my bedtime, so i don't watch it on a regular basis. please still be my friend. my family is hooked something fierce.
so, so glad you've come over to the dark side [the blogging world]. it's mad addicting. but the people here will love you like crazy.
glad you're here. :o)
Dan, I just followed your mom's link to your myspace page. Got to hear "I Will Wait for You." Nice man. Is that your girl singin wit you?
Hope to hear more.
Yo son, I emailed a song to your moms for you to check out. The file extension is .ogg so you might need to download a player like Jet Audio in order to play it. JA is mad cool too, lots of features; it would be worth the download, if you're into music.
di-
hey there friend! thank you for the wonderful compliments (:
i love you too! terri-bly.
christianna-
feel free to continue calling me danny (:
we need to have a dot party... and hot tamales are amazing!!! you rock! i'd snack with you any day.
i'll get the sleeping issues figured out... eventually... ha. the other day i was awake for 35 hours... yikes!
hey, if you come visit, we can have a worship session and then you can literally be there in the moment!
shasha-
i feel you on the dots shasha... but why do you have to bust me out like that on the internet!?!? these people don't need to know that my poop is the size of a football and that i play halo till all hours of the night! geez... dirty laundry spreader!
(:
dean-
nice to meet you dude. come visit man... it's a wonderful place, mn.
momma-
thanks for the link! you'll have to show me how you do that!
(i swear i'm the only 23 year old in the world asking for their mother's help with the internet...)
kirsten-
how's my sister doing?! yes, i totally buckled... i'm pretty weak minded... ha...
sorry your mom is scared of the computer. my mom is basically married to hers.
you are SO extra cool for using all lower case... valid.
you need to watch lost though... seriously... what's your bedtime? 8? it can't be.
glad to be here kirsten!
nathan-
hey dude, glad you liked the song! we'll definitely be recording more soon! angie is not my girl, but she IS my very good friend! we lead worship together all the time (:
i'll have to check out that song!
whew! glad we're cool. ;o)
yeah, i tend to go to bed pretty early. i have to be at work @ 6 & do you see this hair? it takes work in the morning to make it look good. so i gotta go to bed early. i'm 30 now & i need all the sleep i can get.
ha ha!!
too, too cool. how can i miss someone i've never met. love to you.
awww, kirsten's question about how she can miss someone she's never met . . . touched my heart. i love all the love that flows around this community, man!
listened to your songs on myspace -- loved them! and yes, the idea of a worship session together sounds divinely lovely. i love that. i am so there.
aaaamazing!
ps. i don't capitalize anything! except God. :)
Ummmmmmm shouldn't you be up now? You're gonna be late for work man. Hopefully you don't work on Saturdays.
