I got an avatar

I had seen jess's avatar but i had never really thought of getting one until i accidently clicked on tucker's avatar and I was swept away. Its soo much fun to just make yourself or a crazy looking avatar! I couldn't find capri pants and a sleeve-less shirt but that's pretty close to how I would look to play tennis. So yeah..that was the highlight of the day..

cool!

Best wedding dance ever!

Apparently Halo is coming to life!

See the video

Yeah it would seem that my entertainment is coming to a battlefield not near you? Its kind of scary! Don't you think?

I got this from Michele's blog..


Dear Sister

Ha ha..somehow this doesn't surprise me with all the slang and the improper use of comma's not to mention the bad grammar. Well, either way...who cares...

I guess someone finally noticed...

So now they're making money from my situation. I hate that I didn't come up with the idea, I mean its my thing, not that I want it to be my thing but it is. When people see me they ask me how's your situation, has it gotten better?? Seriously? Well apparently the girl wearing this shirt is all for it, she's thinking of all the nights she can go out with the girls and then call her man afterward to see if he had a miserable time being alone. Yeah, I got all that from this picture! Even the description of the shirt is catchy~


Because relationships are a marathon, not a sprint.

I just have one question..CTC!! ok..that's all CTC!

I love all sorts of gadgets, wickets, sprockets, and whatcha me call'ems! With that being said I just ordered my new phone and I can say that I'm really looking forward to wasting time on it. I actually got a sneak peak of it today at Circuit City during lunch and I was like a little kid in a candy store. No need to ask how much I had to pay, you can figure it out but hopefully I'll get it before thursday so I can play with it while I wait to in the horrible lines at the airport. I'm such a nerd when it comes to this stuff but don't hate.
On another note, I was with jessica on saturday when she went to IKEA, it was actually her idea to go! It was a unique experience, a layed out path of shopping geared to make you spend money! Great idea! I really want to get a tons of crap from there but since I don't think I'll be living in florida that much longer...i'll just hold off. AH look at the time 5p, its time for this guy to head on out...
one more gadget-
that's on my wishlist for christmas....

Rock out with your bangs out!

So, We've all had them at one time or another! But did we really ever thing that we'd go back to the bangs! I had bangs, they got in the way of seeing so I never really kept them when I got older. I kept on doing short hair cuts. The one regret I have in life is that I never grew out my hair as long as I possibly could of. I mean I think it would of looked crazy and people would of been afraid of me, ok, no I think I would of looked totally cool. So why am I talking about bangs? Well holly is thinking about getting them. She even sent me a picture so I'm posting it here because I need something to post..and because I think she looks good with her potential bangs..

So as you can see there's two sides to every story. Holly with bangs or holly with out bangs?

Bloc Party - So Here We are

I love this song..its an oldy but I just can't stop hitting repeat on my Ipod!

How is that people's bodies can tranform into muscle robots? seriously, like they don't look human!!

Just a suggestion..

10 nightmarish handshakes to avoid.
To evade making a bad first impression, losing a business deal or simply embarrassing yourself, take heed of Holland and Brody's 10 terrible grips to avoid:

• The "macho cowboy"... is the almost bone-crunching clasp many businessmen use to shake hands. What are they trying to prove, anyway? There's no need to demonstrate your physical strength when shaking another person's hand.
  
• The wimp... is usually delivered by men who are afraid to "hurt the little lady" when shaking women's hands. Modern female professionals expect their male counterparts to convey the same respect they'd show their male colleagues.
  
• The "dead fish"... conveys no power. While there's no need to revert to the macho cowboy death grip, a firm clasp is more powerful than one that barely grabs the hand.
  
• The "four finger"... is when the person's hand never meets your palm, and instead clasps all four fingers, crushing them together.
  
• The cold and clammy... feels like you're shaking hands with a snake. Warm up your hand first before grabbing someone else's.
  
• The sweaty palm... is pretty self-explanatory, and pretty gross. Talcum powder to the rescue.
  
• The "I've got you covered" grip... happens when the other person covers your hand with his or her left hand as if your shake is secretive.
  
• The "I won't let go"... seems to go on for eternity because the other person won't drop his or her hand. After two or three pumps, it's time to let go. "It's a lot like a kiss -- you know when it's over," Brody says.
  
• The "southpaw"... happens when the person uses the left hand to shake because the right hand has food or a drink. Always carry your drink and plate with your left hand to keep your right one free for meet and greets.
  
• The "ringed torture"... occurs when the person's rings hurt your hand. Try to limit the number of rings you wear on the right hand to only one or two and be mindful of any that have large stones.
  

Three steps to a proper handshake

Some other things to keep in mind:
As you're approaching someone, extend your right arm when you're about three feet away. Slightly angle your arm across your chest, with your thumb pointing up.
Lock hands, thumb joint to thumb joint. Then, firmly clasp the other person's hand -- without any bone crushing or macho posturing.
Pump the other person's hand two to three times and let go.
Six tips to an effective meet 'n greet
Stand up.
Step or lean forward.
Make eye contact.
Have a pleasant or animated face.
Shake hands.
Greet the other person and repeat his or her name

Really?

So apparently there's another movement in the blogging community...post a post everyday this month on your blog,nablopomo.
Which is an impressive feat in itself that something blog worthy can be written everyday. I hope everyone that is attempting this succeeds and doesn't burn out.

I got Will I. AM's new cd and I have to say its really good. Its poppy (that's so a old person saying) its not depressing at all and you can dance to it. Which I haven't really done in a while,that makes me sad!

I went to a concert last week and then it hit me, I'm old. I use to be the hipster, you know the one in with the end. Well I had two cases of being not cool and old. The concert was filled with teens who all had skinny jeans and odd hair styles and i had a tucked shirt. Needless to say I wasn't blending that well. However the most distrubing occurence was when I was hitting at the ball machine and I decided to stay and watch some guys play basketball. Apparently I wasn't cool enough or something because the buster on the side went over to this other buster and said something, which made him look back at me and laugh. If they only knew.....This stuff is cyclical, it will happen to you too! Ugh I'm depressed now.

Here's another picture of the Mute Math picture. Great concert but I really can't be standing for like 2 hours anymore and being rubbed up on by dudes, ladies...well thats another story. Oh before I go I had a off moment at the concert. This guy had to get by so I backed up against the rail that I was leaning on, you know the move. Well apparently this guy has never been to a concert because instead of giving me the cheek he gives me the front...think about it..yeah guys don't do that....wtf?

oh one more picture...from the concert last week...

Finally a post worth posting.

So I thought this weekend would be uneventful and to be honest it had been until I got a call around 10p from my little sis, Alex, many of you haven't met, her well if you have its not because I've introduced you to her. I'm sorta of guarded about my family, anyways, So we just started talking hey what's up. blah blah, when she tells me that she just got engaged!! I couldn't help but to cry, my baby sister was all grown up for realz. I couldn't be happier, its odd because its different when someone you've known your whole finds that person that they will start a new life with. I remember Titi always following me around and wearing my hand me downs, playing cops and robbers. I have pics but obviously not here.
Anyways so that's my little sis and her soon to be hubby, Noah. I've met him, he's a pretty nice guy, so I'm not sad about that just that I wasn't with my mom and GMa when she told them. I was all the way down here doing crap and having a drink, really lame man, really lame. Anyways I'm really happy for this addition to my special little family. signing off from Otown this is les, a happy older bro saying goodnight.

Day Man from Sunny

hahahahahahah

Night Man

I can't watch this without laughing so hard that I Cry!!

Fall:the last real season..

Being in the sunny but also always wet state of Florida I'm exposed to perhaps the most amazing weather year long. Granted I would trade my summers since its like a baking oven around here in July. However the one thing I long for right about now is those colorful trips on 31 driving down to the beach. The leaves are all but bright red, orange, and brown up in the northern part of the country, sadly I just couldn't help but notice that I still miss that time of year. I think i might write about this every year around this time, I guess you can't take the fall out of me. I snicker at the thought of Floridians grabbing their jackets when it gets below 70, I would laugh aloud if I weren't one of them now. I think of the countless times I swore off racking leaves which is ironic because I would want nothing more to jump into a big pile of leaves and be buried underneath the crisp brown remains of what once was so full of green leafy life. A bit much,perhaps but all of you up north take that for granted like I take the sunny days for granted. Anyways, I need to get to bed. Its late and I haven't got all night to dream.

Things of Interest

• Why is it so hard to say what's new when people ask you but when no one is asking you have all this stuff going on?
• Tim @ Smokey Bone's let me leave without paying my bill and had faith in me to call back to pay my bill. Background- I forgot my wallet at work so when I ordered my food I had no way of paying for it! I felt embarrassed but he was like "its all, good finish your meal and call it in when you get to work!" I left him a nice tip!
  
• It's always sunny in Philadelphia could be the gem of FX-TV. Though i think I could make a similar TV show with 4 Mexicans that would be funnier, in Spanish!
• There isn't anything better than a good song to fall asleep to.
  
• People that pretend to be hard don't scare me, its the quiet one's that terrify me.
  
• What the hell is O.J thinking? Don't come back to Florida, nothing good can come from it!
• I found out another reason why sports are awesome, you can argue about shit even when you're not playing the sport.
  
• I'm going to enter my t-shirt idea to threadless, I'm convinced that I can have a t-shirt made with my little saying.
• I sometimes will spend hours doodling, I'm 28 and I doodle!
  
• I really don't like blonde's! Really....
• The other day I thought what it would be like to be white...no thanks.
• Finally, the juicy stuff. I officially lost it on Sunday playing tennis. In the midst of being totally frustrated and irritated I launched my tennis racquet out of the tennis court 100 ft away on the roof of the clubhouse. Yes, the roof. I was in disbelief and I started to laugh. I had to scale a fence, which by way the left nice cuts on my hands and then climbed on to the roof of the clubhouse. Then I jump off the roof( probably 15ft and landed flat on my ass to which i rolled out. Gosh..That was so much work!

10 yrs Ago?

What’s the deal with Hush puppies; no I don’t mean the afford ably priced shoes but the balls of mush that you get whenever you get lost and end up at Long John’s Silver! I think for the most part that might be the most disgusting fast food chain of all the chains, the despair in the workers eyes is as if they’re being forced to work there. Why would I bring this up, well I was there today! I ventured into one of those combo tacobell/LJS to see if by any chance this had gotten better. They have, the place was clean, and the workers seem to be genuinely happy to see me. One of them asked how my food was. When does that ever happen at Taco bell or LJS? Probably never, so I sat there eating my plank and fish with a side of deep fried sprinkles of batter, I came to realize that Hush Puppies aren’t really given to us to eat but to play with. I mean who in their right mind would put those balls in their mouth?? I never hear of anyone saying can I please have extra hush puppies on the side, please! My sister use to only want to eat hush puppies but then again Alex was the only child I know that didn’t brush her teeth for 5 yrs! (Ages 1-5 perhaps it wasn’t that long but I never saw here use a tooth brush when she was baby!)

Its funny how things we use to do brought us joy fail to do so later on in life! I use to love being by myself for a long period of time. I use to think that I was cool when I ate dinner by myself at restaurant, like I was really important or something! Yeah I don’t like eating by myself anymore and I certainly don’t like being alone for a long period of time unless I’m avoiding people then its more of a necessity thing. This brings me to my most pressing matter, my high school reunion! Oh good Lord it’s been 10 yrs since I last walked the halls of Grand Rapids Christian High. I don’t know if I can go back there, don’t get me wrong I wasn’t a loser or anything like that but I don’t know if I would put myself through that situation willingly. A room full of Midwest Dutch Christian Reform adults! My eyes would only reveal true plangent instead of my occasional impassible self. There are only a few people I’d like to see, which ironically I did see when my sister graduated in 2002. I saw her, the girl I had an incredible crush on all junior year and senior year. Ashley H (I wish I could find a picture to show you), she was this cute brunette with short hair and a quiet way about her. I never really talked to her because a) she was really cute b) and she had a boyfriend (who happened to look like a Brad Pitt when he was in legend of the falls!) Anyways I don’t know that I’d really care to see anyone or anyone would remember me since I was the guy that just tried to go un noticed while I was there. I’m sure I could mingle and recognize some old faces but I don’t think I have the stomach or patience to hear how people have been these past 10yrs when I didn’t really care what they were doing that day while I was there, to do that I’d have to cozen them about how happy I was to be there and I’m to nice to do that

Scary Movies

I had this post already launched about how the hills have eyes 2 was horrible but then I read it and I said to myself this is the worst thing I've written ever, even more so then that one time I let people know about my secret blog I was writing about someone that we will not mention their name. Speaking of, I think that person is very sneaky or mean spirited in that she told me not too long ago how much she disliked a certain someone and she made it clear that she wanted me to know that. But the person she didn't like just had a birthday and she posted a happy birthday wish on this person myspace!! WTF? anyways the US OPEN starts this week!!! AH I love tennis!

To Megan

I don't know who you are but in response to your comment, There is no racial badgering in my post. I was merely describing the situation. The whole post has no mere relevance, this blog has no relevance. I think many times we get caught up in being politically correct when we should be candid and quite blatantly honest when talking about things. I'll ask you the question that perhaps you should ask yourself,

If I hadn't mentioned who was in car, who would have you imagined driving the car?

Very odd morning

I was on my way to work this morning and I saw a cop drop his little ticket binder in the middle of the road. He threw on his flashing lights and stopped traffic to collect them and the he peeled out. I thought that was funny. About 5 minutes later I was about to turn onto the highway when out of now where this car is rushing by me with the two black guys and they're being followed by i think 7 cops. There was a motorcycle cop and like 6 cars, IT was a freaking car chase and it was awesome!! Then it all of sudden it seemed like all the cops in Altamonte were flooding the highway! Needless to say that was the highlight of the day.
