Crocs and Me

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

i have had some comments about crocs and the wedding that I will be attending during the summer. While some of you know the story, there are a couple of you who might not. For those of you who might you can skip over the next paragraph, but I warn you you could miss some great blogging. For those of you who don’t want to read this long post, skip to the end there are cliff notes.

During last summer Chelsea and I attended our best friend’s wedding. Chelsea and I were actually in the wedding so we really didn’t have a choice of not going. Being a grooms men I had to wear a tux, which came from the great story of After Hours Tux. And when I say great, I mean they suck. They screwed up the order so many times we had to get out an abbacus (luckily I carry one in my back pocket sometimes don’t ask why that is for another post) to count all their mistakes. They messed up so many times I didn’t bother telling them they gave me the wrong size shoes. I figure I could handle it, I would only have to wear them a couple of hours. Well after two minutes and 37 seconds I wanted to chop off my feet and feed them to a rabid squirrel.

Why a rabid squirrel you might ask, and to that I say, why not a rabid squirrel what do you have against rabid squirrels?

I had to wear the shoes for who knows how long, after thirty minutes I blacked out, some how I finished the wedding and reception without anyone knowing I blacked out. When we finally got back to the hotel we were staying at I took off my shoes and examined them to see if I saw any damage. There was no physical damage but the blood had been cut off to my feet for 4 hours so I didn’t have any feeling. I wasn’t to worried about this at first. Two months later I still didn’t have feeling in my big toe, and we were starting to talk about wedding plans. Well I didn’t want a remake of the last wedding. Sure I only lost the feeling in my big toe, but who knows what else it could have been? I decided that maybe dress shoes weren’t the thing for me at wedding, and I thought crocs would suit be better. They are comfortable, and we could get them in black. I thought this was a brilliant idea and I presented it to Chelsea. She laughed and told me good luck getting June to buy into it. So I did my research and set up a power presentation. I made charts and graphs. I had so many charts and graphs that I made Magellan look like a kid with figure paintings. So I got this all ready, I did the bear speech from Swingers to pump me up and presented it to June. Well she sat through two minutes of it and started to laugh. She just threw her hands up in the air and said, “Scott, you’re such a kidder.” I couldn’t believe my ears. I had spent three long months coming up with this presentation and June just laughed at me. It took her two seconds to relies I wasn’t joking. She stop laughing and looked at me with a straight face and said “No.” That was the day that my dream of a perfect wedding was shattered into a million pieces.

So long story short, I asked to wear crocs and June didn’t think that would be a great idea. To tell you the truth I kind of agree with her. In a side note I am a horrible speller and really bad at grammar. So for those of you who pride yourselves of your writing ability. I just want to say thanks for getting it this far without wanting to rip your eyes out of your sockets.

I am sure many of you who are reading this are going through your daily routine of blogs. Catching up on everyone’s lives while eating your breakfast or passing time at work. I am sure for the past couple of weeks you have felt that your blogging experience has not been complete because there is one blogger that seems to have disappeared into the blogging world where who knows what type of horrible misery she could be suffering. Some of you may know of whom I speak while others are thinking, “Oh, great Scott has fallen off the wagon and started to smoke the reefer again.”

And to those of you who may be thinking this I have only one thing to you dear sirs (or ladies)…. Can anyone tell me why it’s called Mary Jane? Do a lot of people named Mary Jane smoke it? Did weed become popular during Spider-Man and everyone thought that the character Mary Jane was a pot head?

That is besides the point. The person of whom I was talking about would be the lovely Miss Chelsea Johnson. She has been unable to blog for some time now I thought I should be the one to give you an explanation as to why. Most of you know that Chelsea has started her student teaching. Well in the past couple of weeks she has started to slowly take over teaching the class. Her days consists of her getting up at 5:30 am to exercise and get ready to be out of the door by 7:20 am. She is gone until about 4 then comes up and works on lesson plans, wedding stuff, and school stuff till about 9:30-10:00. Then she goes to bed to get ready to do it all over the next day. She is working very hard and I very proud of her. She only has a couple of weeks left of this craziness and then she is done. Some days the most I get say to her is Hi and good night. So I just thought I would let everyone know that she hasn’t forgotten about her blog, but it might be some time before she gets back to it.

Man of the Hour

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Today I had the morning and afternoon off, so I decided to use the time to catch up on some movies that I did not get to see in the theaters. I rented Derailed with Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. I was looking forward to this movie, I wanted to see it when it was in the theaters but I just never had time to. I got some Subway and sat down to watch what I hoped would be a good movie. The movie started good, but I wasn’t to impressed at first.

Disclaimer: plot will be disclosed in the next paragraph.

I figured out that the mugger and Jennifer where partners half way through the movie. So the whole time I was hoping Clive Owen’s character would figure it out and beat them at their own game. The movie goes on and you find out that Clive Owen is your typical guy. He keeps getting pushed around by the bad guys and doesn’t do anything about it. So the whole time I am upset that Clive Owen is not his bad-ass self, but at the same time glad that he is showing that he doesn’t always have to be a bad-ass. But then Clive Owen does a 360 and turns into the man. I jumped out of my seat and shout for joy to see the Clive Owen that I paid to see. The best part was the end when the bad guys says ” It is to bad, out of all the prison you got stuck with this one.” Then Clive Owen says, “No LaRouche, I picked this prison.” I was like “Oh, SNAP! WHO’S YOUR DADDY NOW!”

So this post is dedicated to Mr. Clive Owen the Man of the Hour. Because when your back is against the wall, you wanted a guy with a face that says, I will mess you up, by your side. Also go see Inside Man coming out this weekend.

On a side note, I got my hair cut by a one eye lady today. Fun times!

Well, it is finally here. The blog of blogs. I have been pretty excited about this day for the last week. I have been trying to figure out what my blog is going to be about and what I should write and what I shouldn’t. I have come to a conclusion…….. What happen to airplane peanuts?

This weekend I went to the good state of Cali. to meet chelsea’s family and to get cool presents. I got there by the very nice people of United (and through brad’s generousity). I flew on four different planes and not one of them gave me peanuts. I got a cookie, and some crackers the shape of airplanes. What is this world coming to when you can’t fly on a airplane and get peanuts?

That is just the first inside look to what this site will be about. If you have any ideas of what you would like this site to contain, please let me know. It would be great because I have no idea. I do know that most of the stuff I will talk about consists of movies, video games, why the movie theaters are the devil, Pirates and other random things. Also I will talk about the movie Swingers or quote from it very often, (Thanks Shane, got the idea from you) because it is the best movie of all time.

Peace!
