Some Videos For You

This is probably the best commercial that I have seen made on a local level. I mean seriously, if this doesn't make you laugh, I feel bad for you. Evidently here in Utah we had a problem last summer with Crypto something or other spirosis. Whatever that is. I think this add will solve the problem.



And this is an inappropriate video of me with some friends about a year and a half ago. Go ahead, laugh at my pain.

Another Story

I'll try and do a little better throwing in some more of my stories. I've received some requests from some of my readers for more and I appreciate the support. This is a story I wrote a while ago, I'm not sure when, I wrote it on the back of a "to do" list which has, register car as one of my things to do. So, that would place it somewhere around October of 2007. Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you think.

"We'll never make it", Travis screamed. "Of course we will", shouted Truman. "And this wouldn't happen everyday if you'd just get your butt outta bed." "So now this is my fault", replied Travis. "If you're willing to admit you have a problem, I guess that's the first step on the road to recovery", joked Truman. "I don't know why we're even friends, all you ever do is piss me off", said Travis, his voice struggling to come out, now feeling the effects of running several blocks. "You've got a real problem Travis", said Truman, "you just take yourself to seriously, that's why you can't tell when I'm just joking". "Oh, I can tell when you're joking, your whole life is a joke", said Travis, feeling like he got the best of Truman on that one. "Oh, get out the pooper scooper folks", shouted Truman, "because Travis is talking crap". "That's pretty brave coming from the kid who's winded after running two blocks", Truman added. "I'm not winded, it's called controlled breathing, it helps my asthma", said Travis, now wheezing a little. "Well, you better keep controlling that breathing because we missed the bus", Truman said with a partial laugh in his voice. Travis stopped, attempted to catch his breath, looked at his best friend and said, "I hate you".

A Brand New Challenge

Oweing to the fact that I know that I can to nothing in this life without a goal I decided on July 14 that I needed to do something big. Because honestly, what have I been doing with my life lately? I work and I travel, and it is a charmed life I admit, I love going out and seeing places and visiting friends and family. But there isn't enough struggle, If I don't really want to do something, generally I don't do it. So, on the fateful day in July I decided that I needed to train for a marathon. And no, I'm not training for the Twilight Zone marathon, which to this date is the only marathon I have exprience with. I will say that it is a great marathon though. Anyway, I've decided that I will be running the Catalina Marathon on Saturday March 14th. Let me tell you, I sure know how to pick them. This thing is going to be a monster. The vast majority of the race is uphill. Let me show you on this chart here.







Am I crazy? Absolutely, isn't anyone that runs a marathon crazy? But I do look forward to this great challenge. I'm almost one month into my training. I've got another two months of mileage buildup training before I start my actual marathon training, but you gotta start somewhere. So far, it's been kicking my butt, as expected. But, as I said, I need to do something that I don't necessarily like. So, periodically I'll be updating on the blog my marathon training status.

Olympic Fever

Somebody take my temperature, I'm feeling a little quezzy. What could it be, well, if you read the title, I'm battling a serious bout of Olympic Fever. The opening ceremonies were amazing last night. The artistry was captivating, it pretty much made the Salt Lake opening ceremonies look like a high school production. But, such is the Olympics, you gotta top the last one. On a side note, an official evaluation of the countries of the world was made by Myself, Crane, James, and Landon. The results were both surprising and predictable in their own right. First of all, as expected Sweden dominated the ceremonies in the overall hotness of girls. But we were all impressed with Croatia and Slovakia, who represented themselves quite well. In my opinion the ultimate prize goes to Jordan(the country, not the kid living on an island right now) with only 3 women marching in the parade, each one was a stunning beauty.

How much do I love the Olympics? I watched woman's badminton for an hour followed by sculling. I don't know what it is about the Olympics, but I just get sucked in and I can hardly tear myself away. I imagine that over the next two weeks as I remain stationary on my couch, alternating between laying down and sitting up my body will enter a new form of lethergy never before attained. You would think spending all day watching people compete in athletic events would inspire me to get out and do something, it mostly just gets me tired. I figure they're in good enough shape to combat my laziness, except the shooting sports people, they're mostly FOG's (Fat Old Guys). Anyway, the US is whooping up on the Dutch in women's beach volleyball and I need to devot more attention toward the big screen. Peace out, and enjoy what millions around the world are enjoying.
