Week in Review

So, i've had a pretty crazy and fun past week, and so i thought i'd do a review of the week with some awesome pictures taken with my craptaculous camera-phone:

1. Scout camp. Fun Moment: my car exploded on the way. Larry (my car) had a nervous breakdown and is now in rehab over at my uncle's shop. (on a side note the kid's name in the picture on the left is Dodge, how cool is that?)


2. We stopped by a Wal-Mart and someone had lined up all of the carts outside in a huge circle. It was awesome.

3. Paul's Bachelor Party. It was really fun hanging out witha few of Paul's friends and laughing. He had asked me to be the male stripper, but luckily it didn't work out. I forgot my speedo. . . . .ew.

4. Elijah vs Yogurt. I looked over at my nephew and he had a purple yogurt-colored unibrow. I looked over at him and said, "Hey Lije, how'd you get that on your head." He looked up at me, slapped his yogurt covered hand on his forehead and said, "Oh, no!"

5. Reception. The place was huge! There was a live band, a DJ, awesome dance floor, ice scuptures and cute girls. It actually was a pretty fun evening minus the boring line.

6. Random Picture of Keira Knightly. So, actually there isn't a reason to have this on my blog and has nothing to do with what happened last week, but hey, she's hot.

7. Car Death #2. This guy who's been hitting on my little sister, accidentally rammed his huge truck into the side of her car. Awkward. The door doesn't open anymore.

8. Room Death. I came home from Utah after 17 hours of driving and looked in my roomate's room. This picture actually doesn't do the actual room justice. It was SO messy. Tyson had made a trail to get to his dresser. It was hilarious. Important side note: that's not my room.

Anyway, life is good.

Taking the Plunge... haha...get it?

So, i'm in Utah right now. And to answer your question before you ask it: No. the picture of the gorgeous woman that caught your attention as soon as you opened this post is not my wife, not even my girlfriend. My older brother Paul is getting married. And as kind of a tribute to him, I decided to post some of his engagement pictures which are amazing! (ok, so I know that it's usually girls who post engagement pics, but these are really cool). This is also an effort to increase the amount of people who read this blog by posting pictures of beautiful people.

For all you girls who read this, this is my almost sister-in-law:

And these are the coolest engagement pics ever!!! I so need to try this

Ok, so they kind of look creepy underwater, but they both look like models. I'm not complaining or anything, but how the hek did Paul get all of the good looking genes in the family? I mean, come on, seriously!

Paul is pretty much the coolest guy ever. And since he never reads blogs I can talk about him all I want. Paul is one of those few people in this world who was just born cool. He's just a rock solid awesome guy. He's intelligent and is really fun to talk to. He also has an amazing sense of humor, like, I remember when we were younger he would make Samuel (my oldest bro) laugh so hard he'd shoot milk out of his nose. I almost saw a repeat of that yesterday. It was awesome. Anyway, I also met Stephanie for the first time yesterday and she is freaking awesome as well. They definately go well together. (and she has a cute younger sister...awesome).

So, here we go with a few more pics:

Anway, the wedding's tomorrow and I'm really excited for them

Boy Scout Camp

So, earlier this week I drove up to Northern Arizona to be an adult for a scout camp.

It was . . . interesting. Like. . . , ok, I am really amazed at how close the Lord of the Flies is like Boy Scout Camp. Wow. William Golding must have been a scoutmaster or something, because he nailed it. 12 year old boys are CRAZY!

They also have an attention span of about 13 seconds. For example, this really happened on a field trip to a museum in Flagstaff:

---Me teaching astromomy--
me---"Ok, so what is the Sun made out of?"
boy #1 --"Hey, stop touching me!"
boy #2 --" I'm just sitting here."

boy#1 kicks boy #2.

me--"Hey guys, let's calm down, let's look at this book for the astronomy merit badge."
boy #1--" Look! Elk!"
boy #3-- "I want some cheetos"
boy #1 --"Your mom is so fat she's like a whale"
boy #3--"That's dumb"
boy #4 --" Nick's mom is dumb"

--laughing---

me--"Ok, astronomy. The Sun"
boy#2--"Hey Joe, I have a question"
me--" Go for it"
boy #2 ---" So did you know that in the center of the Sun is actually a Sun god, and his daughter hates the Earth so he's gonna start blowing up stuff on Earth."
me---" Um.....ok guys, Let's look at this picture righ---"
Boy#3---" I want cheetos"
Boy#4---"Where's my water bottle?"
boy #2---"Are there aliens?"
me---"Sure"
boy#6--" Have you ever been on the Tower of Teror?"
me--" yes. . . Ok, so, astronomy---"
Boy#5,6,7 burst into song--" If I were a boy scout a boy scout I would be..."
Boy #2--" Did you know the loch ness monster is real?"

Super Powers

As I sit here contemplating the vast enormities of the universe, thinking thought provoking and intellectually pleasing thoughts like—Why did I just shoved a chicken pot pie in my mouth knowing that it had just come out of the microwave and was probably going to light my tongue on fire? (which it did), Why is there a random big guy on my roommate’s computer chatting on Facebook? or –Why did a girl just come screaming into my house being chased by a boy with ground up ice from her freezer? . . . the world may never know.

But the real question, How do I get that really cute girl that I haven’t talked to yet to notice me?

Answer: Duh. Super powers.

I mean, it worked for Spiderman, right?

Wouldn’t it be cool to have super powers? I guess it’s every nerd's dream to have some kind of super power. You know, wake up and accidentally find out you have been bit by a gamma radiated cockroach that somehow turned you into a super-buff stud with laser-vision and mind reading capabilities.

Yeah, that would rock. Ok, minus the getting bit by a cockroach, that would stink. Ew.

Ok, so I’ll ditch the cockroach, maybe it would be ok to have a huge giant with a beard show up at my front door and tell me that I was actually from a different planet and had to go to school to learn how to become a Jedi , then find out that there are actually split realities and I need to find a really sharp spork that lets me cut into other universes.

And then I somehow save the world. And then that cute girl would notice me.

Or, I could just go talk to her I guess.

Do cockroaches bite?

Hilarious
