Great Year Guys....Let's Do It Again Next Year!

Horror Movies

What was your favorite scary movie and why. My favorite as a kid was the shining. After seeing it I had "REDRUM" stuck in my head and I saw twin dead girls in my nightmares. I still remember my Mom telling me "I told you you would have nightmares if you watched this!"....and I did. Jack was awesome in this. The first movie I remember that scared me. That and Halloween. I remember trick or treating in our subdivision in the country and always looking over my shoulder after seeing that...freaky.

So as you can see..I'm a very busy man. I'm surprised I have enough time to write in this blog. Simply Amazing.

Hump Day Blues

I'm having one of those days where it took me forever just to get out of bed. I must have hit snooze about 20 times. I lift the covers to get up a realize the house is freezing and it's dark a gloomy outside....perfect day to stay in bed and sleep. I finally get up and start walking to the bathroom and step on one of Jake's lego pieces and jabs me right in the bottom of my right foot. So after sitting there for 5 minutes , cussing, rubbing my foot I continue my 10 ft long journey to our bathroom only to find the whole roll of toliet paper on the bathroom floor and a kitten in the middle of all it. So after yelling at the kitten and picking up the mess I closed the door to do my business, brush my teeth..yadda, yadda, yadda and all of a sudden there is a knock on the bathroom door. "What are ya doing in there daddy?" It was Cori. Everytime I walk into a bathroom in this house 2 seconds later there's a knock at the door.....guaranteed. They need to know in full detail, 2 pages single spaced, what I'm doing in there. This knocking continued for another 10 min. until I came out. I walked over to the window and looked out upon cloudy and rainy skies. Depressing. All of a sudden I hear screaming coming from the living room....Cori is screaming at Jake. She wants to watch "Backyardigans" and he wants to watch "Power Puff Girls." Power Puff Girls......Power Puff Girls. My son wants to watch Power Puff Girls. What have I done wrong. I had to escape. I run to hide in the computer room in the basement but they find me...they always find me. They are my shadows...everywhere I go they go...but loud shadows that leave a trail of toys and chip crumbs wherever they go......There gone now..upstairs watching tv...I think....It's quiet...too quiet...what are they doing....oh crap, have to go check....later.

Weekend Project from Hell

It's so simple.....I must be retarded.
No comments on what this looks like.
Corndog anyone?
The finished rocket...will it fly?

What started out as a simple weekend project turned into a nightmare! Jake had to build a rocket for Boy Scouts for a race. It came in a small box and was suppose to be simple. Yeah right! Now I've built the cars and the boats for those races but never a rocket. I have never even seen one built before. Let me tell you...the directions sucked! There were no good pictures to go from. I ended up cutting one of the wires too short for the propeller
and had to go to Lowes to get more. (which they didn't have the same size.) Everything has been a pain but it's finally done!!! Yeah!! Jake has his race tomorrow night and we'll see how it does. Hopefully I did it right and he does pretty good or I'll feel horrible!

You Gotta Know When to Hold'em....Know When to Put Pine Tar on your Hand.....

I hate Kenny Rogers. Maybe it's because of him hitting a camera man last year or maybe it's just because he looks and acts like a loose canon ready to go off but anyways I hate him. I didn't need anymore reason to hate him and then this pops up last night when he had a substance of question on his hand....that was just the nail in the coffin. If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll tell ya. One of the Cardinal players, while watching the game from the locker room on tv, noticed that Mr. Rogers had a brown substance on his hand and alerted Tony LaRussa and he alerted the umpires. Nobody is saying what this substance was but if you ask me I think this should have been looked into a little bit more. I mean my God...It's only the World Series. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same way about him as me. I mean its the World Series and to pull something like this makes his whole team look bad! I repeat....I hate Kenny Rogers.

Possible Halloween Costumes

Who wouldn't want to be a gay pig for Halloween?
Yowza! Who's this Hottie?
Brian...Huh, Huh? Put in your Bubba teeth and your chicken under your arm?
No fair...I was this last year!

I can hear the stitches on that costume tearing as I type this.

What????

I was surfing the web for Cardinal stuff and came across this hat for sale. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? I could have swore the Cardinals were the National League Champions. Maybe that's why this hat is so cheap.

Packers Win! Packers Win!

Packers Notch 2nd Win, Defeat Dolphins 34-24

MIAMI - The Packers got an interception returned for a touchdown by Charles Woodson and an acrobatic touchdown catch by Donald Driver in the third quarter to take the lead on Miami into the final period on Sunday. Ahman Green added a 70-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to extend the advantage. The Dolphins countered with a five-play, 80-yard drive to trail by just three, but David Martin's 13-yard TD catch restored the double-digit lead and iced the victory!

It's about time...the Pack has had a rough start but maybe this will give them a little boost and they can continue to win. Let's hope so...right McGone.

The Legend of John Baptiste

John Baptiste was one of the first gravediggers ever employed in Salt Lake City in the late 1800‘s. He lived in a two-room house with a lean-to at the corner of K Street and Temple and he was believed to be well-off and lived comfortably. He was also known to be a hard worker and punctual, always carrying out his appointed duties at the city cemetery. He was a quiet fellow though and had few friends, so most people never paid much attention to him as he went about his work.
About three years after Baptiste came to work for the city, a man died in Salt Lake City and was, of course, buried by the gravedigger in the local cemetery. A short time later, the man's brother came to Utah from the east. He was not familiar with the Mormon religion as his brother had been and wished to have his sibling returned to the east to be buried in the family plot. His wish was granted and the grave was uncovered. The casket was pried open and the corpse inside was discovered to be nude and lying in the coffin facedown, as though it had been dumped there.
Needless to say, the brother was outraged and city officials began an immediate investigation. The investigation focused on John Baptiste and several men were assigned to keep him and the cemetery under surveillance. Soon after another burial, Baptiste was seen pushing a wheelbarrow from a nearby storage shed to a freshly opened grave. Authorities stopped him and found a pile of clothing hidden in the bushes. The corpse had been removed from the grave, his clothing removed, and was now being moved from the storage shed in the wheelbarrow.
Baptiste was arrested and his home was searched. His house was filled with clothing! He had used some of it for drapes and furniture covers and in the cellar, a large vat was placed for boiling the clothing of the dead.
The news spread and local citizens descended on the cemetery to check on their deceased loved ones. Authorities believed that he had stolen clothing from more than 350 corpses! All of the clothing from Baptiste's home was taken to City Hall for identification by relatives. They also went to local second-hand stores, where they learned the gravedigger had sold large amounts of jewelry for cash.
And what became of Baptiste? He was tried and convicted of grave robbery, was branded with a hot iron and exiled to an island in the Great Salt Lake, northwest of the city. There has been some dispute as to where he was sent, either to barren Fremont Island or the larger Antelope Island. Regardless, he was put ashore there, never to return to Salt Lake City again. But this was not the end....
A few weeks later, lawmen returned to the island to check on the prisoner, only to discover that he had vanished. A search discovered the remains of a fire and a small shelter, but no Baptiste. Some believe that he may have taken his own life and others that he built a raft and escaped, but no matter, he was never heard from again. Or was he? It has been said that Baptiste still haunts the shores and beaches of the lake today. The stories claim that he has been seen walking along the water's edge, clutching in his hands a bundle of wet, rotted clothing

Warren Miller Comes to Utah

Warren Miller Ski Movie Showcases Utah

This is year 57 for the Warren Miller ski productions, and this time the Utah Office of Tourism is a film sponsor. From October through December, the movie will have 400-plus screenings in more than 180 cities in 35 states.
Entitled OFF THE GRID, the latest production includes an 8-minute Utah ski segment featuring renowned, locally-based athletes Jeremy Nobis, Jamey Parks, Jamie Pierre, Julian Carr and Jenn Berg. A Utah commercial will air before each screening to provide additional exposure for the state’s ski industry.
This is from a news release about the film:“Warren Miller Entertainment is the most recognized and respected name in the action sports film industry. It is only fitting for Utah, the home of The Greatest Snow on Earth®, to team up with them,” added Nathan Rafferty, Ski Utah’s president. “We’re pleased that the State recognizes the Warren Miller films as a viable outlet to promote Utah skiing.
Utah’s sponsorship of this tour coupled with the epic snow footage in our segment provides unmatched exposure for our superior ski product to hundreds of thousands of skiers nation-wide.”

What Would You Do?

So I have a situation here and I would like your guys opinion on what you would do. Cassie has been wanting to go back to Illinois to visit friends and family and we have been telling her "no" because we don't have the extra money right now. She comes to me and Diana this week and says her friend Dan (which they are just FRIENDS) asked her to fly back for a week and stay with him and his mom said she would pay for the ticket. Would you let her go or would you tell her "No"? Before I tell you what I said and what Diana said I want to know what my friends say......yes or no?
