It has been a week for me to be at my new job. Things are going well and I am still excited about it. A lot of things have happen in the past week that I think I should share. First off, chelsea and I got an apartment. I don’t move in until June 8th but I am very excited. Secondly, the other day a little baby blew chunks at my work and I had to clean it up. Long story short ( Some people have told me I am long winded in my post) I threw up in the process of cleaning up which in turn made someone else throw up. So there was a throw up party at work the other day. If you would like a more in-depth description of what took place then please leave a comment. The more I get the better the story becomes. Just a little fyi it is better than the bank story!!

Peace Out!

Lunch Time.

Monday, April 24th, 2006

So the other day I was driving home from an interview and I saw an advertisement for my bank on a billboard. The advertisement said, “ Where is your bank tack you? Besides Lunch.” The sign made me think for a second. My bank doesn’t take me to lunch. When did this start happening? Never once have I gone to my bank and they ask me where I would like to eat today. Never once did they say “Do you feel like Mexican today, or what about Swedish?” Not once have they said, “Man you look like you could go for a big juice steak right about know.” This made me a little upset and I decide to go to my back and do some investigation.

When I got there I walked up to the teller and made a deposit like usual. The teller did her work like usual and did make any jester like was going to take me to lunch. So I thought I would ham it up a little. Maybe she needed some type of hint that I was hungry before she asked. I sure they just go around and ask every single person who walks in if they would like some lunch. So people might take offense to that. So I did the naturally thing that anyone would do in my situation. I rubbed my stomach and said in a booming voice “ MAN IN HUNGRY! I HAVEN’T EATEN IN DAYS! I WOULD ROB A BANK SO THAT I COULD GET SOME MONEY FOR SOME FOOD!”

Well this did not go over the way I thought it would. I guess saying you would rob a bank inside a bank is like saying you have a bomb on an airplane, while you were on the airplane. The events that followed happen so quickly that I only remember are small details. The first thing that happened was that the teller screamed, “ Oh, my god he is going to rob the bank.” She duck under the counter and from what I remember she never came back out. Luck for me the bank was full of other customers which they when into a huge panic. Women were screaming and waving their hands in the air. Some of them had little kids who started crying, “I don’t want to die!” I kids just stood there and peed his pants. People were diving under desks and counters trying to seek safety. One guy every jumped out a window (which was closed) to reach safety.

While this was going on the security guard who must have been sixty was sleeping at first and was awoken by the screams. It took him a second to relies what was going on. He tried to draw his weapon, but in the process shot himself in the foot. He fell over in pain and started to cry, I think he also peed himself. All this happened over the course of two minutes. At first I had no idea what happen and thought maybe I imagined all of it. Then I saw a ten-dollar bill on the floor. I went over picked it up and decided that I would have chipotle. As I left the bank and drove off to get my delicious lunch there was a trail over police cars and even a swat truck that surrounded the bank.

So the moral of this story is that you should change your oil every three thousand miles. Be kind to your car and it will be kind to you.

Oh where, Oh where?

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.

Disclaimer: Some of the facts in the story have been changed to make me look better.

Peace

Busy Body

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!

It’s a new name in the Neighborhood!

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!
