Hey Hey
Hey. Sorry about the long absence, you probably thought I had died from a head cold by now. I am happy to report that I am not dead...however I am in the middle of gaining back my head cold just as i almost got rid of it.
A lot has been going on in these past few weeks. I'll briefly touch on the highlights.
Heather and I finally watched "8 Mile" for the first time the other week. It really made us get in touch with our ghetto side. Had to say, I was very impressed by Eminem's performance...a few unnecessary scenes, but all in all was very good. The "battle" scenese really inspired me and almost made me rethink my entire career path for life. We found that we really related to one character in the movie named "Cheddar Bob." So much so that we made up our own rap names. Heather's is "Parmesan" because she goes great with anything and brings the right amount of flava. My name for some particular reason was "Swiss Cheese"...Heather says its cause I'm sour and leave a bitter taste in your mouth...I think its because I'm holy....(insert fake laugh hear). Halfway through the movie my sister joins us and took on the roll of the MC who's only lines/roll were to yell, "DJ, spin that s**t!" So that's all she would yell all night.
My mom came up to visit my sister and I the other day. Her and I got to spend some time, just the two of us, hanging out. She took me to dinner and then I treated her to dessert at the best place I knew to get it...Applebee's...my place of work. So i take her in and the fact that "Stacey's mom" was there drew much attention. In front of coworkers and managers she embrasses me and now I get teased. I cant take the woman anywhere. But they loved her and thought she was cool and I like it when other people see what I do in my mom...makes me love her so much more. Especially since we can act like 5-year olds together one second pulling each other's hair and the next have a serious conversation about life, love, and faith. She's so rad.
Spring break came and went. Jeff, my sister, and I had fun. We decided not to just be bums and to actually enjoy it. Tuesday night--on a random whim--we went to Reno. That's right. We drove 3 hours...through rain and snow...just to arrive at a place to lose money and then drive another 5 hours back...through rain and snow and battling sleep. Life is weird. The next day Jeff and I went to Old Town and ran into a bartender that looked like Mr. J (for those of you who know who Mr. J is)...except this guy was using cuss words...which i dont remember Mr. J ever doing.
Started reading a new book..."Jesus In the Margins" by Rick McKinley. Off to a weird start and dont know what to think of it yet...thoughts on it will come later.
Alyssa sent me an e-card of the easter bunny rapping and driving an el camino with hydraulics...that was amazing. I wet my pants.
Those are the highlights, folks. You are now caught up to date on life and I can now be left alone about not updating. When you get a chance...stop by 7-eleven and pick up a tsunami relief band...100% of proceeds go to help. More later...peace out....have a good Easter
