stupid roller shoes....

i know that you have seen these things.

if you havent youve been living on the moon.

no cancel that... kids are probably wearing them there too.



let me make it clear. i hate them.

i despise seeing kids wearing them.

am i overreacting. i dont think so.

here is an example.
we were in the grocery store the other day. we were sharing an isle with a boy and his mother, the boy was wearing roller shoes. his mother already irritated with him says something like, i told you i want you to walk. ookkkaaayyyy... he sighs. slips behind his mom and skates some more almost running into another mans cart.



see what i mean?

i hate them.

The Number 23

i forgot to review this movie. i saw it like a month or so ago. i will when i get beck home ive gotta leave right now though.

Shooter

watched shooter last night. i liked it a lot. the action was great, the story is full of suspense, and there is sorta a love story thrown in to boot.

im not going to give a synopsis thats not what i do. but i will say that its an intense thrill ride not to sound cliche. mark walberg in my openion is an average actor butthis movie actually makes me think he getting better. he really fills the character out and make you believe that he is the best sniper in the world.

plus as a cool side note on the special features it has interviews with the real marine sniper who trained him. sso you get to learn if the tech is real or not.

again really liked it. felt like a realistic rambo, but with a story that you dont have to check your brain at the door.

id give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Cardinals Baseball

yes i know they suck right now. i mean really suck.

but we got free tickets to the game tonight. so we went we had a good time. not because the cardinals won, because they didnt. but because i was with my wonderful wife and because of the craziness that happens at the game.

here are some pics.



heres the score board we were really close to it.


this just shows how close we were to the field.



redbird doin his thing.


who are these good lookin people?

this is where we sat. front row section 171 right next to the isle. nice huh?


one of the funniest things is there was a guy about 3 rows behind us that would yell at the players. he was getting rather frustrated with the cardinals. funny.

oh and the kissing cam. it cough 2 people picking their noses. not each others their own.

oh and sorry about the phots it was really hazy tonight

poop...

well its happened.

im finally one of "those" guys.

i went to blockbuster and when i went to open my door, the handle broke.

i had to roll the window down and use the outside handle to get out.

im one of "those" guys that you see and say, "man why doesnt he fix his door?"

i didnt mean to become that guy. it just happened.












poop...

Rate Hike!

so we got a letter from our apartment office asking us if we were going to re sign the lease, and telling us instructions either way.

yea if we resign the rent goes up 50 bucks!



and heres the kicker they told us it wouldnt when we first signed the lease, but there isnt really anything we can do about it.

trust me.

i called the states attorneys office.

but if we move we have to pay more and more our stuff.

so yea fun situation huh?

Disaster Strikes!

so this evening when i came home miriam was not there. dont worry she just ran to the grocery store.

but when she did get home she had a horrible headache and asked me to put away the groceries.

i proceeded to do so and thats when things went bad.

before i go further let me set the scene. we like arizona tea. and we buy several when they are on sale. so we store the extras on top of the fridge.

so when i opened the freezer door this happened:



this is what a jug of tea loots like after it falls off the top of the fridge a EXPLODES all over me and the kitchen.

im not sure that i can adequately describe what all over the kitchen means.

i mean everywhere, in the fridge, on the cabinets, drawers, dishwasher, oven, not to mention the new lake in the middle of the floor.

so 4 towels and mopping, vacuuming, and washing the floor by hand, which my loving wife did, the kitchen is back to normal sans 1 gallon of tea.

i think the reason my wife so lovingly cleaned the mess up is that unknown to me at the time she had moved the tea earlier to get her cookbook placing the jug precariously half on the fridge and half on the freezer door.

i dont blame her it was an accident.

its funny know and im sure you are enjoying reading it so overall a positive story.

OUCH

so i got stung by a wasp today.

in the neck.

yea it hurt. (answered that question)


and here is the real irony of the story, just yesterday the guys were freakin out because there was a wasp in the building. i told them not to bother it and it wont sting you. i saved its life!

then today for no reason at all BAM right in the neck.

so i got an anti sting swab out of the first aid kit, and took care of it.

didnt see the wasp for a while.

when i saw him i got even i hit him to the ground, then did the smash and twist move on him.

he was D E A D.

...and then i set him on fire.



yes that wasp will think twice about stinging me again. well if he wasnt a charred smear.

Springfield

we are in springfield mo visiting miriams parents. i have pictures to post but my camera is downstairs right now and im not going to go down and get it. yes lazy i know. but we are having a great time. yesterday miriam and her mom went shopping and her dad and i went to this great civil war museum and then went and looked at hybrid cars. i test drove a civic hyrid.


i liked how it drove it is slightly different then a "regular" car. i mean its really weird when the gas engine shuts off at stops and low speeds. eerie really.

i also looked at a prius but couldnt drive it because it was sold. :( so i wasnt able to compare the rides.

the prius felt like a more complex car. very gadgety. but it did have a back up camera and more storage. so more on those cars later.

i promise.
