Sweet!

Tommorow is the big day. We are moving all the big furnature and stuff at my aunt's house in SF. The best part about being here tommorow is my uncle Alan is coming! He is really cool I can't wait to have him come. I also can't wait to get back to E-town for B's party. I'm bringing melina as my date. ;p Anyway it should be really fun provided I dont mess up my suit too much as I'm wearing it to the party.

Read Me!

It sucks when you check your blog and no one has responded to it. Yet then again i bet it sucks to check out my blog and see I have not written anything latley.

Bad Things
1. what the hell is growing on my piecring I scraped the top of it and it bled all over the place. When i get home I'm gonna fingernail clip it of and cauderize it. That outa look pretty.
2. Not looking forward to driving back to Eugene. I am not a fan of long commutes when they don't involve "crazy" road trip attitudes.
3. Hmm not really all that much to report really

Good Things
1. (very good) Went to In and Out burger tonight and had an awesome burger and fries animal style and topped it off with some krispy kreme donuts.
2. Finally decided to quit chewing tobacco (great a new year's resolution)
3. Looking forward to New years eve party at Ashles house.

So I'm down here in San Fran helping my Aunt move to a town house. It's going pretty good but it reminds me of why I don't like Cali and why I love Oregon. Even with all our hippies, dope fiends, and crazies I still prefer it to anywhere else I have been in the world. Maybe its my family maybe its my church or maybe its just the nuts in Eugene but I love living in Oregon. I decided that I need to check into a few things and then get my ass into gear and get going on starting a brewery. I know I will love it and I think I can go far doin something I love. Bah I'm going to bed it's friggen hot down here!

Yeay

Yeay it's christmas. One of my favorite days of the year, and yes partly because there is a 007 james bond marathon going on.

Cool gifts:
1. Uber flashlight from DAD
2. An awesome pearing knife (Global) from Steve and Holli
3. Some cool books from MOM
4. Another pretty cool knife from DAD that looks like its used in kligon rituals, but apearantly its a traditional knife from alaska.

Well I am back in Eugene now looking for work. After new years i'll be working at Indigo again but this time in the kitchen. I am going to San Fran tomorrow to help my aunt move and visit her for the holiday. I'm looking forward to hangin with my cousin kate too.

Bad things:
1. Still having a cough from a nasty cold I got on wed and persisted till today.
2. RAN OUT OF EGG NOGG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh wheew found some in the back of the fridge!
3. Jackie is goin haywire today I think she is just excited that I gave her a bunch of bacon and honey baked ham bits. Unfortunatly I found out this morning that she isn't aloud to have pork. (I didn't know jackie was jewish)

Anyway I started a journal too now it's kinda cool now I can write all the stuff I wanna say that is too juicy for the internet! hehe.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recall the vote!

Well if the vote didnt go so horribly to the left by huge amounts of votes i woul feel bad for forgeting to vote. But damn i wasn't to happy missing the vote. I left my ballot in Eugene and asked steve to "send" it in for me. But i went to the market on the way home last night and they were having a CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION yeay!!!!! So i completely forgot to call steve i was too busy sampling hearty winter brews, creamy delicous cheeses and meats, ice creams, cakes, and of course EGG NOG yeay!!!!!!!!!! i
Anyway I am already dreading the 2008 presidential election. I think i will puke my guts out and shoot myself in the head if hilary gets elected.

Top 5 of the day:
1. EGG NOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. I didnt get completly soaked to the bone and have to work outside.
3. got up 5 mins before i had to be at work
4. day dreaming about getting married
5. SPAGETTI AND MEATBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Low 5 of the day:
1. got up 5 mins before i had to be at work
2. missing breakfast becuase of it
3. stabbing myself in the hand with a screwdriver
4. hitting my head on the top of the inside of the van becuase it is about 5 inches to low 500,000 times
5. smelling my wet shoes from monday when i was soaked to the bone

pissed

dont you hate it when you are really pissed at someone but are afraid to tell them what they are doing is pissing you off becuase you are non confrontational and they are a friend. I'm in that spot right now. I think i will just have to wait till I can get out of the situation im in to get away from this person and try to confront them as easy as possible. I used to hate living alone now i relish the idea of returning to the solitary comfort of my own apartment.

Any way things are going well but my top disapointment of the day has to be finding out B's party isnt until next weekend. I WANNA PARTY NOW!!!!!!!! Oh well i'll have to make due with pulling lint out of my navel and sighing alot.

Anyone know where I can pick up a girlfriend at?
It seems that all the girls i meet are either married or not what im looking for. And by "not what im looking for" i mean girls that are not christian mostly.

Akward!!!!!!!!

so today im working at this house in a nice neighborhood and i walk up stairs to get something from my van and the woman who was there with her kids asks me something as im walking by. So i walk into the living room and she is sitting on the couch breast feeding her baby with no attempt to cover up. Can you AKWARD. Apearantly she had roots in the spanish inquisition becuase it seemed like an eterantity of looking anywhere but at her. Anyway i have another halfday there but at least i wont be alone. Im going camping this weekend so that makes me happy.

Time

It seems the longer you go without writing the easier it is not to write anything at all. So anywho its time to catch up. I was working at the bar and quit to come work up in portland at a construstion company that a friend owns. Everything has been going really well and im catching up on my bills which is nice. i still drive my pos ford escort though im thinking ill fix it well enough to drive to mexico and then cut the top off and drive it around for the mexico trip and then give it away.
So now that im caught all up ill post more often.

If you don't dance then your no friend of mine.

So currently I work at a bar downtown called The Indigo District. It is pretty awesome at first i was working the floor walking around picking up glasses and delivering food to tables. As of today I am the new door man. Kinda sweet To have the power over the door. I'll have to wear a suit and sunglasses every night or a sparkly silver shirt. The crew i work with is pretty cool but also like the worlds bigest posers. They all dress trendy or like punks but they all have hip hop on thier ipods and are always talking about the cool music played there on the weekends unless of course I start talking about how the 80's rock or some cool punk music *cough* the fakers *cough*. Wwll not all of them are like that but the are all Eugeneites to be sure. The boss is pretty cool I think that he doesn't actually like hip hop and he only plays it to atract the money from the college crowd. In fact on more than one occasion he berates his customers (as he is also the DJ) for liking hip hop. Like I said he's pretty cool. Oh well i'll try to keep up more often on my blog but as my life is boring and uneventful it can be tough.

We must dance like children of the night (or at least try)

Stephan and holli's wedding was a real blast. The reception was at the vets club in Eugene and it was packed in our reception hall and the one below us was packed with rugby players and the bar downstairs was as well. Besides almost desecrating the bartender and the caterer with feces for thier incompitance I had a good time. The bartender ordered the wrong beer and the caterer ran out of punch and it took them half a friggen hour to make more which also quickly ran out and then there was no more. Not to mention that i was sitting at the head table and was served LAST. Now don't get me wrong I'm not being selfish here just showing the mental retardation of the caterer. So being served last we didn't get mashed potatoes or rice with our dinners and we got a tiny piece of meat each. Now I don't know about you but I think serveing the head table with the best stuff first and then the parents would be my highest priorit as a caterer. They are going to be the only people who might wait outside your work for you and smash your face for a bad job.
Anywhooo we ad a really fun time dancing (badly) And at the end of the night encircling Stephan and holli with our arms linked dancing around them and singing to coldplay's yellow as they danced. Cheesey you say? Well maybe but at least we had fun doing it. The only other cool thing was that some of the rugby players from downstairs crashed our party so afterwards we went down to their party and started eating thier cake and dancing down there.

You ripped my heart out and played badminton with it.

I guess it's time i post. I should start out on the friday before we left for mexico. I went to the church to help B pack up and get off on the trip. That day i put in my 2 gauge plugs and it hurt like hell. over the next few days they fell out from bad rubberbands. at one point shoving them back in i cut the skin on my left earlobe it wasnt going to heal so i had to put in my 10 guage rings again they are fine now. anywhoo two days before we left we were there at the church again packing gear. And the girl that I had asked out a few months ago was there (yes she sot me down). that sucked. So next on our delicously long and boring ride down to mexico I almost killed one of the leaders of the trip. One leader had asked me to build a box on the back of a trailer and then a second leader kept telling me how i needed to do this or that. I just about punched him in the face.

(Long boring trip)

Skip forward to mexico

So mexico was really fun this year. Smitty and Paco came! Two cool guys from La Grande Oregon. La grande = hickville USA. Garret and I headed up one of the houses like we have for the last three years. He is a really cool guy and his wife hiedi is really cool too. They have moved from La Grande to salem so they are now closer to Eugene and thats cool.
This year Paco and Levi have joined the dos Pollos club. Down in mexico there is a resturant there that serves chicken by the 1/4, 1/2, whole, and two. 1/4 of a chicken is plenty for one person. Two is absolutly insane. Last year I started the dos pollos club becuase the diez tacos place closed. Your lower intestines will never forgive you if you join the dos pollos club.
Actually besides a blown tire on the way back this year it was pretty uneventful.

Ok so you don't burn your eyes out and for commentation purposes ill split up my catching up posts.

You Boys Like Meex-e-ko!?

In a few hours from now i will board a overfilled bus with a bunch of teenagers bound for mexico. Wish me luck! :ots of stuff to write i promise when i get back!

I hate you and you have to like it.

I hate writing after not doing so for so long even though i really had nothing to write about. Last night we had a pretty big dinner at our house where all our friends came over. B and I cooked a tasty dinner (I thought) of lemon chicken and rice with bacon wrapped asperagas for appitizers and a salad. It was really fun. After that I went to a German party. Yes really. It was a bunch of college students from Germany on an exchange program trowing it. I have actually been to one of their patries before and it was kinda fun. But this party was a little weird. It was hard to put my finger on what untill one of the German guys did a Hitler style salute and said zieg hiel. My friend assured me that they were mocking Ceasar which I didn't quite understand but never the less I thought it was a good time to leave before they started to look for people to burn. The best part of the night though was that I spent about an hour witnessing to a guy on the smoking porch. I hope my lungs will forgive me but I have not smoked that many Lucky Strikes in a long time. Oh well things are going a bit crazy here at the end f this semester so Im off to finish some super exciting human relations homework. Oh Boy!!!!!

Boring? You could say that.

Well to say my life has been uneventful would be a serious understatement. My life consists mostly of homework attending RUF meetings and video games. I wish Capt Rueby was here so we could go hang out at the old vets bar and compare fake war stories with WWII vets. The ol' Deppster seems to be having fun being a workin stiff. I keep prodding him with hot pokers to post on his blog, but hes like a hardend Iraqi Kurd under Saddam, this egg won't crack! Napoleans doing well. He seems to be adapting well to being a pirate sidekick. I think someday he will apply to be a superhero's sidekick.

Whoza Whatsit

Dear readers of my blog
Please do not take any offense to what I write here as it is a place for me to vent and be silly. Alot of what I write here is not in all seriousness.

Thank you
Manflesh

When I think about you I touch myself

If you have ever been single for a long period of time you will understand what i am talking about.

Just imagine hell........OK now imagine that times 10

Well After moving a quiz to thursday rushing around to get all the gear i needed and packing for the trip I got to bed thurs night at 2 a.m. I then got up at 4 a.m. and we drove downtown to tranfer our gear into a van filled with exchange students from germany, france, and england. After packing and repacking the van we finally start to drive out of town at 5:30 a.m. One nice thing about the trip, a van full of hot female exchange students is not all bad.
Finally after stoping for bathroom, coffee, bathroom, bathroom, bath....(ok a van full of girls is maybe not a good thing) we get to a very crouded Mt. Batchloer. It's free ski day if you bring three cans. Which Dave (the only other american with us) bought out all the stores around town of creamed corn. OK so now i'm stoked becuase I have a snowboard, im at the mountain for free and ready to get it on. So we head up to the top of the easy runs. But some of the tracks are not easyone's and they are not so clearly marked. So somehow I got onto a run called cliffhanger. I kept thinking in between heavy breaths (becuase i can barley stay on my feet its so damn steep) That even Stallone couldn't pull this off. So now that im off on my own I finally start to kinda get the hang of it. But I miscalculated a bump in the run. So as I went airborne I started to think why they hell am i even out here i hate skiing. It was interesting to see the ground come rushing up to your face right before you hit it. Luckily my butt was frozen solidly shut or when i folded over backwards i think my ass might have enveloped my head. (I wonder if i could get into the book of world records) As my spine springboarded my body back into the air I went flying a few more feet down the hill landing on my tailbone. For a few seconds I couldn't move my legs. I thought well at least maybe those hot french chicks will feel some sympathay for me. I must have been in shock becuase i just kind of slid down the hill on my face for about 2 mins. After getting up and walking down the hill I found out that, surprise surprise, I was at the wrong lodge. So Just having a near death experience I decided to walk down the ICY highway to the next lodge. So after two near death experiences I made it back to the lodge we had parked at. I decided that some of the lovley lodge chili would be great. Don't believe them even though it says hot delicious chili on the sign what it really means is we just opened this can of really crappy chili without heating it and are now serving it to you in a stale bread bowl. I felt like I was in Stalig 17 or something eating meager rations almost freezing to death becuase I happened to forget my snowpants and had to snowboard in jeans.
OK now finally back into the van we set off to Eugene. I don't know who told the german guy to drive , but even being from germany apearantly he has never heard of the autobahn. Even though the highway was well posted with 60mph signs we averaged 40mph. Not to mention I think he has never grasped the concept of coasting. Anyway finally reaching home I sunk myself into the hot tub and then went to bed and watched season 2 of lost untill 4 a.m. So now im taking myself back to bed just glad to finally be done with one hell of a friday night.

WTF Mates

I really hate trying to discuss something with someone but they just dismiss you like you dont matter.
eg.
I say, "Well I think this."
Person says, "Well I think your wrong and I am not willing to discuss it."

How rude is that? I feel like they just told me that I can go shove my view up a quackbert's butt. (sorry quackbert)I mean really would it be that hard to say;

Person says, "Well I don't agree with you becuase of this. Maybe we will just have to agree to disagree."

Warning if you don't talk to me like I'm a Man with valid views and opinions then you are an asshole. Maybe I'm just sensative lately but I feel like I get alot of;

"Ha Ha Ian your so funny" and "Whatever Ian"

Sometimes I feel like accidently holding people's faces in the deep fryer at McDonalds untill thier faces are little chicken nuggets. On the other hand I think there is laws against that. Maybe my life is acually a TV show like that Truman Show movie that was on a few years ago. If that is true more than one person is getting a serious ass whooping. Becuase if it is true then its one of those sick shows where they see how far they can push someone untill they break. At least I will be rich and famous when I find out it's all a charade. Maybe I can finally realize my dream of being a "well paid rich person".
Maybe we are all part of a big TV show that is being watched by an omnipetant being that feels sorry for us. Oh wait we are.

Some good news I picked up a guitar again and I seem to remember alot more about playing than I thought I did. Over the last few days I have gotten some really awesome direction from a few different people. I almost have my first song down prett well although it only consists of three frets I think I'm doing well for three days of self teaching. I hope by next tuesday I can play a few songs for RUF (the reformed version of Campus Crusade). Although my fingers feel like they are going to blow out the end and I'll just have little bony nubs to play guitar with. Rueby is partialy to thank for my picking back up of the guitar. Thanks little buddy. I hope that someday we can jam together, even though that will be a while for me.

My new favorite band (right after the Fakers of course) is Death Cab. What a sweet band. I have yet to listen to thier lyrics earnestly, but what I have heard so far is delightful. Ok I have to go to bed I have to get up early to finish a crappy essay.

No News!

I hate waiting for an e-mail. By about the fifth time I check my e-mail in one day I start to think I am a big loser.

Classes are going well. I also got out of Gestapo boy's class and got into WR122 with a cool teracher. Besides that just attending RUF, and getting to know Arcade Fire better.

I did find it slightly amusing that on Lars Larsons website that you can pay 60 bucks a month to be able to e-mail him "anytime you want even in the middle of the night. He won't mind". Bull crap! I'll bet He is Pissed when he has to get up at two a.m. to reply to an e-mail of some fan. Oh you can also get a link to your blog on his website. Don't get me wrong I love Lars Larson, but please if you think that he "doesn't mind" getting your e-mails at two a.m. in the morning your just an idiot. Some times I wish I was a radio personality. Something like a combination of Lars Larson's enthusiasm and values, Alice Cooper's Brashness, and Phil Hendry's crazy voices. I would spend my whole show making fun of political statements by the left. Especially by Hillary, Gore, Jackson, Kennedy, and my new favorite Ray Nagin. I mean seriously what kind of an idiot tells everyone in the nation that they are racist.

Anyway I must return to writing homework, just thought I'd muse on some of my future plans of world domination.

My eyes see only high terrain

I think I'm going to invent a keyboard that picks up your brainwaves so you can just think instead of typing.

So First off the batchleors/ batchleorettes party was sweet I think everyone had a good time especially matt so thats good. I was really happy cuz Ruby came out the night before and we stayed up till like 4 am drinking and talking about deep thoughts. It was like a non-stop party for 5 days strait. The rehersal dinner went pretty good, but what the hell was up with those nasty pears? I think I stole a bottle of wine from every event. Matt was at least a little bit stressed on the big day, but we tried to give him alot of space, we plan on kickin his ass later. The wedding ceramony seemed to go well except maybe for the searing pain in my back and knees. I think i'm either out of shape or civilian life is making me soft, becuase it felt like i had little evil gnomes cinching up c-clamps on my knees and two more where kidney punching me and talking crap about my mom. OK maybe not that bad, but never the less it was a little long it seemed. I happy that B and Matt liked it though. The cake reception was packed I could barly move across the room becuase everyone wanted to talk to me, but the cake was really good. We then ran home for pictures where my aunt insisted to have her mini-me dog in the wedding pictures. I had to run Bab Taaylor off to the airport, but then we went to the reception. The reception was awesome although I had to sit next to matt's crazy sister (just kidding Sarah). Rueby was an awesome MC I'm gonna fly him out for my wedding so he can MC it. "weigh it out weigh it out" I gave a short speech basically about how much our whole family had fallen in love with matt, but it came out something like I wanna kick Matt's ass but now i like him to much to do that. After the reception we went home and to my surprise there was another party. This one included lots of dancing beer liquor and hot tubs. I also met a girl ,Amy, that night from Colorado. She was really cool and we hung out at the bar another night before she left. But she's being bad right now and hasn't replied to my e-mail.

After all that nonsense I started school on the 9th. All of my classes are so easy it's almost sad. I'm taking required classes First Aid, Human Relations in the workplace, Spanish 101, and Writing 123. Although I missed my first day of class for 123 and the teacher who looked like a big dueche bag, and turned out to be, said that i had to provide documentated proof of why I was absent. Basicaly I called him a knob job, behind his back of course, and then i left to go sign up for a new teacher and decided to change to Writing 122. Besides that school is a breeze.

Things I fear gettting up for - Everything

Things I fear going to school - Finding parking

Things I fear in General - Being one of those "nice" guys, therefore remaining single FOR-EVER

Things I fear at home - Napleon's hair

Other General fears - The postman, hippies, anyone who has a mullet, crazy women, pop music, any girl who offers to sleep with you after knowing you for less than an hour

Poop smells bad!!!

And so does my room. I think I should do luandry. It's 5:30 am so i need to hit the hay but a long drawn out and seriously funny post will follow this one later today.
