LOST

Well I speant last night (all the way to 7 am) and the last few nights watching the first season of lost the tv show. It is increadabely addicting. If you haven't been watching the show you probobly should this is a really great series. It always leaves off at horriblely suspenseful parts. Ok I have about 4 PBR's in me right now I'm going to go to bed.

Here is a little B belly with her first love Zach.
That's me when I was all cute and fuzzy. Here's my ugly mug now.

School

Well It turns out that due to LCC red tape I can't attend Lane untill winter term. Well thats good acually it wil let me get my finacial aid together. I added some more cool lonks hope you enjoy them. I'm going to Elias Veermans birthday party tonight. If I'm lucky he will play the organ for us. Anyways I'll write mas lata.

False Alarm

Well it turns out the dogs have some kind of rash, not fleas. I must have just been itchy that night. That's a relief plus I have clean sheets, not that clean sheets are rare. Whew I just smelled myself I gotta go take a shower.

Sleep Where Art Thou? FLEAS!!!!!!!!!

Well I spent about 2 hours trying to fall asleep last night. I went to bed at 2 am and didn't fall alseep till after 4. At least I don't have to be to work untill 3 pm. I was itching all over too, but not like a rash itch, like certain spots. I think becuase the dogs sleep on my bed, and I now suspect they have fleas, that I now have fleas. Gross! I'm going to go take a really long shower after this.

Taxes!!!

I really hate taxes! Ok get this. I owe 200 something dollars to the state for last years taxes but I have to pay those taxes first to get federal aid for college. Kinda funny It's almost a catch 22. Anyways I'm dealing with it but it's a royal pain in the butt.
So I have to sign up for classes next week. Wow pray for me to be able to get my life together in time please. I decided that I'm going to take up fasting and praying on Mondays so if anyone wants to join or has some prayer requests let me know. Nothin much has been happnin just a few days off from work and relaxing cleaning and getting things together.

My Links!!!!

I put up a bunch of new links but i couldnt see them when i signed on to my mother computer. So let me know when you guys can see them if you can, and make sure to check out the toast song!

Picture day!!!

Two years ago we made the Uber snow cave. Thats me in the brown jacket.
Here's Steve relaxing after many hours of digging.
This was the entrance.
The night we spent in there was a little cold but very cozy none the less.

This Is Me and my little puppy (not really a puppy) Napoleon.
Here is Steve (yea he's pretty cool huh) My older brother.


Well I thought I'd start getting a few pics up I'll write lata.

On and on and on and on and on...............

Wow I just spent the last few hours catching up on ashley's, brielle's, matt's, steve's, and holly's blogs. You guys are crazy as loons, but not as crazy as crazy loons. Huh what did I just say? Oh well I leave it for you to figure out. Not much else to tell tonight though I just went over to the crites with steve tonight. Oh and I watched The Life Aquatic today. Not a bad flick at all.

It's a tuesday!!!

School registration is coming up and I need to get on the ball and pay my taxes for last year. Acually I thinnk I need to still do my taxes from last year. Coming out of such an unorginized state is really difficult to deal with motivation and trying to fix all the stupid things I let pile up over the last three years.
On a totally different subject I noticed something the other day for the first time. I caught myself staring at a beautiful woman that had a child shopping in a store. But when I realized that I was staring I noticed I wasn't fantasizing about her but jealous of her. I was thinking about the joy of anothers love, and the blessing of children. Maybe I'm an idiot for wanting marriage, I don't know.
Ok next it's time for me to tell ya'll about some of my new favorite songs. And If when I say favorite songs you think of weezers new album then people in glass houses, sink ships.

I really liked this song becuase it really has no words other than a short simple messege and it has a catchy beat.
Thievery Corporation- Strange Effect

This is the first Thievery Corporation song I heard and I still love it to this day.
Thievery Corporation- Lebanese Blonde

My good friend Ashly showed me these songs they are outstandingly funny.
Flight of the Concords- Hiphopotamus meets the Rymenoceros
Flight of the Concords- Buisness time

I heard this song on the radio and went out a bought the album. It's not bad you should check out the whole album Demon Days

I still like this song first time I heard it was on a mixer album from my little sissy (B. Belly Lumpkins).
The Killers- Andy Your a Star

An awesome classic to check out if you have never heard it or haven't in a long time listen to this one.
The Cure- Mint Car

Alrightly then I'll write you later I gotta visit the B room before I blow like a flock of sea gulls at a alka seltzer factory.

Damn Spammers

Today I got up late something like 9:30 only becuase I can. Went to check my blog to see if I got any comments yet, and to my suprise I got my first one. I got a split second rush down my spine and the anticipation could barley be contained as I shook like a hypothermic school boy waiting to see my comment. Low and behold It's a friggen advertisment. I want to strangle the guy who spams my blog and pee in his wheeties. It really amazes me how damn rude people are today. The annonymity (<---spelling?) of the internet makes people think they can do whatever they want. If someone came to my door this morning at 6:00 am and told me about thier cash advance store I would beat them with the nearest blunt object and have my dogs pee on them.

Anyways today is my first day at stop n shop by myself so wish me luck to not make anyone too pissed off as they wait in line. Oh yea two wierd things happened at stop n shop. Two days ago some old dude was cursing at me under his breath and when I said excuse me he said really loud "put it (wine bottle) in the F'in bag". My first reaction was shock my second was that the hospital better get a geriatrics room ready becuase I'm sending them some beat down old dude. But like Ben Folds says "I'm too polite". Anyways next time I'm taking the merchandise away from them and sending them out the door. The other wierd thing is some girl on the afternoon of sept. 11 was almost jumping my bones over the counter just to get a smell of my deodorant. No seriously I was like dang I knew I smelled good but at least ask for my number. Anyways I would have thought she was on drugs (we get alot of druggies) except she seemed normal besides the practically jumping over the counter. Chris also told me that she is not the druggie type just single and looking apearantly. Ok anyways I'll write more lata If Anything wort talking about happens.
(note to self: post pictures)

A day to remember

Well Sept. 11 has come again, and I wonder a few things. I watched a special on TV on flight 93 (the one that went down in the field). It is a story that if true (about thier heroism) is a heart wrenching one. For some reason it makes me feel guilty again about leaving the Marines knowing we were going to war. I am almost near tears when I hear about Marines especially dieing in Iraq. I wonder was I wrong for leaving the Marines for so petty a reason as I didn't like being treated like a kid by superiorers. I feel the guilt every time I think about it. I sometimes wish that on those lists of the dead I should be there up there. Is this some morbid desire to be immortalized or do I really wish to gove my life for our way of life. I don't really know. All I do know is that I have a deep respect for anyone soldier or civilian who gives thier life for our great country.
I also have a newfound dis-trust of Arabs in general. With the way the terrorists so easily (becuases they had no bad history of anything terrorist related or not) came here and lived among us it leaves me no choice but to be dis-trustful of these possible sleeper cells. Another group I have come to greatly dislike from this event is the leftist radicals that call Iraq an oil war, etc....
Anyways on a lighter note I worked at stop and shop today, and Chris (the guy training me for closing shift) was not as annoying as usual. If you have ever met a dungeons and dragon fanatic then you would know the type. I also went to Dan and Sarah Johnson's wedding reception today. They make a nice couple. It makes me jealous though to see all my friends and family getting married around me while I still yet to even get a girlfriend. I must be trying to hard or something because I feel like a crack monkey right now chomping at the bit to get married. I guess not so much becuase everyone else is , but becuase the one thing I feel is missing is companionship. I know some of that s filled by God but there is a physical companionship that can only be filled by a lover and a friend. In short being single sucks big time. Well I can't talk your ears off all at once besides you probly need your ears. Talk to ya later.

Muhahahaha

The notoriously bad spelling riegn of the Angry Scotsman begins.
(note to self: post in blog every day.)
Ok really short back round.
Ian Houston is my name (<------That's me) I was born in Madesto,CA and my family moved to Eugene, OR when I was three. I grew up here in Oregon untill I was 17 when I joined the Marine Corps. While in the Marines I lived in Okinawa, Japan for a year, as well as being deployed overseas on a ship. While on the ship I visited Hawaii, East Timor, Singapore, Thailand, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emerites, Suadi Arabi, Jordan, Guam, and I'm pretty sure our LT. got us lost while in Kuwait and we accidently drove into Iraq. Anyways after the Marines I came back to Oregon and have been working odd jobs. I now am going to attend school, and I work at a convience store.
Ok for todays post I'm letting everyone know I'm sick and not postiong much. My brother (Steve) and I are working on filling in the back yard with dirt. We are doing a mojor remodel on his house, and working on the back yard right now. Yesterday I brewed 12 gallo0ns of honey mead for my sister's (Brielle) wedding in January. Hopefully it will be ready ion time for the wedding. I have to work on the labels for the bottle's now so I will write mas later.
