Yo. Uhm…. yeah. Its been a while since I’ve updated. The only intresting thing ive done lately is gone to Hawaii which was freaking sweet. I wont go into much detail cause my memories have faded. And if you know anyone else they already talked about it and had pictures it will be 6 months before I finish off this camera so… It was really green and I really want a banyan tree. Kayna said she would get me one, but actually I got the names wrong. What I really want is a Monkey Pod tree. Here is a picture…

Anyway… on our way home we had a stop over in Colorado and we got blizzarded on. Not the kind of blizzard you get from dairy queen… oh no, the kind that makes people really cold and get snowed inside an airport with nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep. The kind of blizzard that makes you glad that you are staying in a rundown suburb of Denver with an overweight trucker in the next room playing playstation2 with the door open wearing an stained undershirt and some pants while listening to ungodly loud rap music. The kind of blizzard that makes you count yourself lucky that you get to sleep on stained sheets and pillows your have to fold in quarters just to get to sleep. So in summary we got lucky.

NEW CONTEST!!! Ok here's the game. Find me a website where you can buy seeds for a Monkey Pod tree for the lowest price. If you win you get a reward as usual.

Yo. It’s been a while. I suppose that’s cause I haven’t done a whole lot. This weekend I did stuff so that was good. And tomorrow officially starts spring break. Friday… I went to spring creek barbecue for Nikki’s birthday, that was fine except it was Friday and during lent Catholics aren’t supposed to eat meat… so that was needless to say thrilling. And then I didn’t do anything for the rest of the evening so. Saturday I didn’t go to football cause I felt like crap in the morning, so I should probably be outside getting some exercise since I just sat around Saturday morning. I went to Akbar for lunch and that was really good. I ate a lot of curry, and they had this spinach stuff that’s pretty tasty if you ask me. I dunno I don’t think a lot of people would like going there cause they aren’t adventurous eaters, but I suppose I am. I got a book called “Cancer Ward” by Alexander Solshxidfnaifnodinfadfnodsnofa. In summary I don’t know how to begin to spell his last name, but its about post Stalin Russia. It won the Nobel Prize for literature, so it can’t be too terrible. Can it? Right now I’m just sitting here reflecting on things and stuff. That’s about all I’ve got to say really. I’m also wondering if Hawaii will be alright or not cause im prone to screwing things up pre during and post band trips, so we’ll see. Later yo.

Hey, my hands are far far far too cold to be typing, but I thought I would show you these pictures anyway. The first picture is a guy being pulled by an extera on what looks to be a trash can lid. The second was me going nuts and drawing a force diagram cause I got carried away drawing the arrows pointing to the car and the guy. Enjoy.

Yo. Its photo essay time. I bought a Nintendo gun, and old one, from the thrift store for 76 cents. So I am going to show everyone the innards of the mystic gun that kills ducks on the television screen.

Yo. Its been a while since I’ve updated, I guess I’m just a chump. It snowed this morning. I didn’t believe it at first as I was laying in my bed looking out the window. Cause I remember so many times when I was a wee tot looking out my window thinking it had snowed and school would be canceled. But the grass looks white-ish anyway during the winter. I’m pretty sure that story didn’t make sense.

I’m kinda lonely right now, my toes are cold and no one is home, I wish I had some one here to talk to but alas, all I have is Miles Davis on my CD player and this html window. Nobody is online either. Here is something new and exciting; I mentioned a long long time ago that I was working on playing the didgeridoo. Well I’ve finally gotten around to proving it, and here is the proof. Click Here Granted its about the worst possible recording setup you could ever ask for, but since I am lacking pictures this is what you get. As for contests… I think I’m gonna take a break on those until I think of a really good one that’s mentally invigorating and not just stupid.

Ok, I’ve gotta give a what up to Erick for spending the better part of his Sunday afternoon to figure out this problem.

I’ll come up with another contest when I recover from the shock that Erick got it this fast….

Yo. We have a winner… ERICA BOLIN COME ON DOWN! She got them all although I had to help her with the army jacket question because she doesn’t see me ever. Ok so Erica said she wanted a roommate who is quiet and cleans up after herself. So I got her just that, you’ll have to ask her how I managed to put her roommate in an envelope, but I did it.

If you feel like testing your prescription of Prozac… go see The Hours, its really depressing

New Contest. Train A leaves Pittsburgh at 7:00 AM and travels to Dallas on a straight line (It’s easier that way), traveling at 57 mph.. Train B leaves Dallas headed to Pittsburgh at 6:49 AM (on the same straight line as Train A) traveling at 63 mph. Tell me what state the collision will occur in, what county the collision will occur in, and the closest city to the collision and you will win a prize. This is not a trick question yo, I’m looking for a legitimate answer.

May the best person win… If you have an answer and draw a picture in paint of it/write out your work in paint the prize may be even better...

The first person who can tell me what SCUBA stands for, RADAR stands for, and what name is on my army jacket wins the prize.

I would prefer that you don’t look these things up on the internet, cause that’s pretty cheap, so if you swear you didn’t look them up on the internet and I believe you, (I may or may not believe you) you may get a prize even if you don’t come in first. Cause I imagine people will cheat, tricksy little hobbitis… If you have an idea for a contest please let me know, you could even decide the prize…

Man, I’m tired. I don’t know why either, I’ve been getting plenty of sleep. I wish I was asleep right now, but no, I’m stuck here at school, well not stuck, I’m at coco best. I would go down to the band hall and sleep but I’m afraid Gibson would mess with me. He’s really not a very good educator, as in he is very detrimental to students well being. Like today, we (trombones) got yelled at, granted, we don’t practice, but instead of making us play and not telling us how to fix what we are doing wrong he just makes us go over and over and then makes a stupid joke to get a cheap laugh from the flutes at our expense…

If I was home I would draw a picture or something but now, I just don’t feel like it. Good luck on the contest.

What up. I was working on an essay for college, but as it is now I have nothing to write, and when I have nothing to write you all know what I do. I WRITE IN HERE!! HAHAHA! What a funny joke

Ok, new contest, I don’t have this pre meditated so I’m gonna make it up right now…. Ok here’s the contest

The winner will receive….. something. This one is pretty easy, so the prize will be pretty crappy, so keep that in mind.

MMMHMMM… Just sitting here, eating some cocktail peanuts, drinking a big glass of H20, listening to morphine, good times, good times.

Today was a good day, granted, nothing cool happened, but today was a good day none the less. Before I forget again the pictures of famous people were, Miles Davis, Ghandi, and Pablo Picasso. Erick got it first and the prize he wanted was “props” so props go to Erick. Kayna got it also, she wanted a diet coke, that’s a good prize if you ask me. Joe got it shortly after Kayna did, he didn’t know what he wanted as a prize he said glue on a note card, so I’m gonna mail him glue on a note card. I wasn’t really going to have three winners, but nobody could figure out Picasso so…

I think I’m gonna have another contest shortly, I just have to think of a good one. If you have any ideas let me know, I’d be more than happy to entertain them.

Yo. I don’t know what to say I suck at updating… Seems like since school started things have been a whirlwind. So much has happened in just this past week its not even funny. Not to mention I think I’m getting addicted to diet coke. It’s infectious. You start with one, then you have another and another and another. It’s good though, I like it . I assume that soon I will drift off of diet coke, and back to just plain old coke, and from there I’ll probably go on to vanilla coke. My drinking habits go in circles. Not like “drinking” habits, but beverage choices. I do that with music too. I’ll be really getting into the Flaming Lips and then one day just start listening to miles davis, from miles davis to weather report, from weather report to pavement, from pavement to morhphine, from morphine to the ataris, from the ataris to green day, from green day to red hot chili peppers, from red hot chili peppers to everclear, from everclear to pixies, from pixies to mozart, from mozart to flaming lips…. And so on. I have to give myself credit for the worlds longest run on sentence, or pretty gosh darn close to it.

I drew this picture cause um, I don’t have a lot to say. OH! If you have $1,950 to donate to A-Team best then I would gladly take it. I wont steal it I swear.

Yo. It’s snowing outside, and when I think of snow, I think of…. snow. It doesn’t snow very often in Texas, and when it does it usually doesn’t stick. Such is the case now. Last new years, new years of 2001 2002 it snowed. I was up at the lake and we dock boarded. I’ve told many of you about dock boarding before but now I’m going to illustrate.

That is a rough drawing of how it goes.

A. This is a prarking lot where you get onto the ramp that goes down to the docks.

B. At B you jump on your piece of cardboard that has been duct taped together and use the railings to power your self down the ramp. If you board is wet and you don’t get moving very fast it will freeze to the ice on the dock already, not cool.

C. Around C you let go of the railing and just slide down the ramp. No hands. Using your hands to attempt to slow yourself down is a bad idea. I tried that this year, and yeah, I spun out side ways and crashed into the rail, it gave me a really big bruise on my thigh but no broken bones so it’s all good.

D. This is the only really dangerous part of it, the rest of it is just in general dangerous. The rail drops away and leaves about a 4 ½ foot span where there is no railing at all. If you lose your balance higher up on the ramp its ok because you just grab the rail and hold on as you slam into it. But at D you just cross your fingers and hope you don’t fall. The other interesting part about D is the 120-degree angle the docks make when they meet at the hinge. There no taper to the angle so the way to get across it is to either lift up your front foot on the board or do a little hop, so you don’t really leave the ground, but just lift your body weight off the board as it crosses the angle.

E. Here the dock is just flat so you just slide until you stop. The you get the enjoyable task of climbing up a icy ramp praying that you don’t slip and break a bone. Fortunately no drunks have attempted to try it, I imagine they would get hurt.

So thats how its done folks.

Yo. I haven’t updated in a while, because well for once, I was too busy doing stuff. As weird as that sounds. This week I’ve… worked with Nolan and his dad, gone to the lake, dock boarded, shot fireworks, shot flares, seen a movie, eaten the pollo magnifico, and shoot, its only Wednesday!

Working with Nolan and his dad is a lot like doing odd jobs for your parents. We would get a list of stuff to do, and then we do it. We got free lunch out of it so it was cool. We also do stupid stuff like hit each other with pain stirrers. The object of the “game” is to knock the stirrer out of the other person’s hand. Let me tell you, its not easy, I had welts all over my arms from getting hit with it cause its like getting slapped, repeatedly, really really hard. Unfortunately they break after a while, so we are repairing them.

The other night we went to waych a movie and on the border and we ended up here playing scrabble. Before we got started I snapped this picture.

Pimptastic!

Yo. I saw two towers today. I must say that it’s a fine piece of film. I felt a little let down because I know the whole story so I thought they would tell more in this movie, but as I recall the book didn’t cover a whole lot either. It’s a fine piece of film in which everyone should partake.

My main reader Erica has been MIA as far as IM is concerned lately so she’s missing out on my daily entries, go figure.

I made jazz band playing bass guitar. It’s the coolest thing band has ever done for me! I know its gonna be hard, and my arm is gonna get tired from playing bass so much. But I’m gonna get a lot better because of it, so its worth it. I may need like a muscle relaxant so my arms don’t hurt as much, maybe not.

After seeing two towers today we walked around the mall. We being me and Kayna and John and Rachel and Taylor and Chad and Eric. Kayna and Rachel tried on prom dresses… Well I guess they aren’t specifically prom dresses but formal dresses for prom, there we go. Yeah they found some good ones, some too small and painful looking, some too big, but oddly enough this was actually not bad to sit around and tell them how they looked. I would rate that at about a 6 out of 10 for fun things to do. 10 being like the greatest thing ever, 0 being like…. Having buffalo feces thrown at you. How’s that for a visual! So as weird as it sounds I think I would go shopping with them again. Mainly cause I’d rather hang out with girls than guys most of the time. Cause girls are way hotter than guys. Ok, I’m done for now.
