“We love you too…”
The Jorgensens, wonderful family friends of ours, are expecting another child very soon. From the ultrasound they learned that they’re going to be having another baby girl. :)
Note: Her little hand is in the shape of the ‘I love you’ sign. (So precious.)
The Scene Aesthetic’s new full length record is inching closer and closer to being finished. I’ve wanted to frame our records for quite some time. Today I made a trip to Michaels and found these CD frames for $9.99 (before a 40% discount!), so I decided to pick a couple up and undertake the little project.
I’m happy with how they turned out!
My great grama and great grampa
I have spent some time scanning old photos during my last couple of trips home. I have some really neat ones pre-my-existence. Every week I’ll share some!
I want to blow this up and frame it for you someday.
Raccoon at Aaron’s Place
Man that thing made a mess.
I love working with Hello! High Water! Their music even draws the local wildlife!
Haha. This is awesome. I love my cousin Aaron. And I love Hello! High Water. :)
Calling all Mario Kart Wii players. This is fantastic! Sam Hart wrote a song and said:
“This is a song I wrote about Mario Kart and Love.
Possibly my most emo video ever. Yes, I taped yarn to my face.”
I just saw this video for the first time tonight. It’s surprisingly very cute, catchy and had just the right amounts of nostalgia embedded to make me love it. It was not what I was expecting at all. I think I was anticipating something that would make me laugh, but instead I found myself really enjoying Sam’s voice and smiling at the intelligent wordplay on lots of terms any Mario Kart player will immediately relate to.
If you enjoy Sam’s song just as much as I do, you can buy it for $.99 on iTunes right here.

Every weekend the Phoenix Suns bring their soap opera home to US Airways Center, one of the 1.7 million local casinos offers a fan a chance to win money by making a shot from the free-throw line ($777), the NBA three-point stripe ($7,777) or half-court ($77,777).
Almost every time, the selected fan feels the crowd’s taunting and steps to half-court, only to whiff badly, and we shake our fist from the upper deck for not choosing the three-pointer. Sure, we get passing on the $777; not many people’s lives will be drastically changed by that amount. However, eight grand is enough, isn’t it? Don’t get greedy.
Well… guess which shot this guy made last night.
Rhett Brown stepped well past the halfcourt stripe, hung the ball between his legs like a crab, and waddled up to the line with a speedy gait. He then jammed on the brakes, flung the ball underhand with all his might, and pocketed $77,777 with a cord-ripper.
The fans giggled and roared as Rhett sprinted in circles all around the gym, hugging the Suns’ Gorilla, the guy with the check, and Leandro Barbosa. He started to hug the security guard near the charity stripe, but Rhett got one look at that surly face and chose to pat him on the shoulder instead. The crowd gave him a standing O while he gathered his check and could not stop buzzing about the shot afterward.
This amazingly awesome; but the fact that my sister, Emily, has been dating Taylor Brown (Rhett’s oldest son) for the last 3 years make this whole situation even cooler! Hahaha. :)
Today is ze day! :)
And so it begins; it’s been a long time coming! So excited for Lost - S06E01.
I watched a stop-motion video which skirted the laws of space and time, and all I got was my lousy mind blown.

I like ‘locked up in all your heartache’, because most people are so afraid of getting hurt again that they wont let something beautiful happen to them. Like they’re holding themselves back from what they want because they’re afraid because of something else completely.
You know, that was something else. And, this is something new.
That’s most people’s problem. They hold onto their past experiences and they relate them immediately to their direct situation. I mean, do you see what I’m saying? I’ve been learning a lot of things about women recently. It’s just like, every girl immediately, even if they love you, they meet you and they feel like they could marry you, like one of those ‘love at first sight’ things, it doesn’t matter. They’re going to be so afraid of that. And in most cases they’re gonna fuck it up, because they’re so afraid of:
a) The chance of getting it right; or…
b) What just happened to them before happening to them again.
When you find a girl you have to, like, figure out a way to prove to her in some non-conventional method that you’re not going to be what she just had.
And I don’t know how to explain it any better than that.
It’s like you have to convince her that you’re not that. Like, hold on, in other words. Guys I don’t think hold on very much. You know? You do a little bit, but you have your ex-girlfriend and you’re not applying what she did to you to the next girl you meet. Like, “Oooh look at this girl!”, you know what I mean. It’s just like immediately a clean canvas. I think girls paint over their stuff, they never use a clean canvas.

I felt the scrapes from the slippery subway grate.
Oh how you laughed at my complete lack of grace.
But I could not recall a more perfect fall,
Cause when I looked up into your eyes… it didn’t hurt at all.
And I thought: “be still my heart”.
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear, if I wake up and you’re still here.. with me.. in the morning.
After nearly a decade of rumors and speculation, Apple’s finally unveiled the iPad. It’s a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it’s running a custom 1GHz Apple “A4” chip developed by the P.A. Semi team, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby. It’ll come in 16, 32, and 64GB sizes, and it’s got the expected connectivity: very little. There’s a 30-pin Dock connector, a speaker, a microphone, Bluetooth, and 802.11n WiFi, as well as an accelerometer and a compass. As expected, it can run iPhone apps — either pixel-for-pixel in a window, or pixel-doubled fullscreen — but developers can also target the new screen size using the updated iPhone OS SDK, which is available today.
Apple says there’s room for a third device between the smartphone and the laptop, and that it has to be better at tasks like browsing, email, photos, e-books, and videos than both — netbooks, says Steve, “aren’t better at anything.” It looks just like the leak we saw, with a large touchscreen keyboard that Steve says is “a dream to type on,” and an interface that’s very reminiscent of the iPhone, although it’s significantly expanded and altered. The built-in apps are much more Mac-like than iPhone-like, with versions of iPhoto and iTunes that look like touch-oriented versions of their desktop counterparts. There’s also some built-in location services that lets the Map app auto-locate, and the iTunes store is built-in for previewing and buying media.
My gut tells me that Cell Phone Treasure is a complete scam.
See: http://www.cellphonetreasure.com
I’m not looking to take part in any sort of “get-rich-quick” scheme. I just found reading up on this information interesting; at best. I even googled: “Cell Phone Treasure scam” to read some reviews and they all turned out pretty positive… (slash written by the same person!)
On the other hand, maybe those videos of him showing off his bank account totals are the numbers he’s making off the poor suckers who buy membership to his site!
Anyone have any experience, ideas or thoughts on this?
**Edit: My gut feelings have been confirmed. Even still, I feel like this is a really interesting concept. - The whole making thousands of dollars online without having to do any real work. - But the fact of the matter is this, “no method of making money continues to work the same way once a million people know about it - the results get diluted.”
