A MUST SEE!

I do not care if you wait until it comes out on DVD or if you go see this in the movies, but make sure that you go see Blades of Glory. It was a very silly comedy. It's Will Ferrel so expect the sexual humor, I do not like that so much, but there was plenty of other good humor to make up for it. Just in case you do not know the other guy, Jon Heder, he is the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite.

I am not going to tell you much about it because I do not like for people to work me up to thinking that I am going to see the best movie of my life and then I watch it and think "it was OK".

enjoy!

Almost time!

I am starting to see more and more ski boats on the road. That means that people are starting to take their boats out from being winterized and getting them ready for some summer fun. About 6 or 7 years ago I may not have been so happy to see stuff like that but then I met Mad Dog. He introduced me to some fun stuff, like wakeboarding. I love to do me some wakeboarding. It will most likely make me spend money on my own boat one day. I am going to make my kids love it just so Amanda will give me the "ok". Or if a certain someone would move back to Louisiana then I could go back to using her boat. I think that is a better idea.

The main reason that I thought about writing this blog was to show off. I wanted for everyone to see how good I am at wakeboarding. Here is a great picture of me doing a flip.

Remember that 1.7

This was back in 2002 when I was trying out for the movie "Dukes of Hazard", to play Luke Duke. They offered me the part but then I read the script and saw that the movie was going to SUCK. The only reason that I was going to play the part was to go around Lee Circle in New Orleans, but I did not want for my debut to be a bad movie.

Remember that 1.6

This was one of my favorite places to go while I was in Nova Scotia. We called it les chutes, which means waterfalls. It was probably at least a 20 ft. jump from the top rocks. The water was at least 30 ft. deep. One year I lost my keys down there. I did not even think about trying to dive for them when I could not reach the bottom with a "pencil dive". The water was very cold too. It was very refreshing. There was also a cliff about 200-300 yards down the river that was even higher than this. That thing was AWESOME. I never did get any pictures jumping from it because the only way you could get there was by swimming to it, I did'nt want to risk getting my camera wet.

The COLD jacuzzi. The water would really POUND on top of you in there.

Doctor Visit

If any of you hang around me long enough you are going to know that I have problems with allergies and sometimes asthma. Today I went to get that checked out by the doctor and it looks like I was mostly right about everything. My lung capabilities suck! It must be all of the second hand smoke from restaurants. I did a breathing test (not because I was pulled over for drunk driving) and I did not do too well. I had 64% at the lowest part of my lungs. Most people, my age/my health, have 100% all of the way through. I took an inhaler and that increased my breathing capability by 8% at the best. Now I am going to have to use one of those things before I exercise or mow grass, or if I have trouble breathing for any other reason. The best thing about it is that I am going to have to get back on allergy shots. Yeah, I took those when I was a kid and then I "grew" out of them. Now I am going to get back on it.

So the coolest thing about all of this was that I had to take this skin test for allergies. They pricked me with a needle 66 times in my arms. (Kristen would not have done that!) Of the 66 tested I was allergic to almost 40 of them. I am VERY allergic to all grasses. Those "reactions" are still showing on my arm, 3 hours after the prick. I wanted to take a picture for you guys but I did not have a camera on me. Otherwise I would be showing you like a video of the pricks or something good like that.

Just thought that you might want to know my weaknesses.

Vacation!

Amanda and I are going to Vancouver this May. We bought our tickets this past week!

Amanda has been wanting to go since she watched a special on the Travel Channel. I went over there back in 2001, so I know that it is going to be fun. I have already started thinking about all of the different places that I want to go again, and places that I did not get to see. We know a couple of people who have lived there, so they are writing up some list of where to go!

Fishing...not catching!

Hey Justin, nice hat.

Glenn knows how to catch the big ones. You just keep throwing it out there and you get LUCKY!

This is about all that came out of our fishing trip last weekend. I thought that it could very well be the worst (as for catching fish) fishing trip ever. Usually we just go catching and leave the fishing for all of the other boats.

The Illusionist

This is a movie that I would recommend. Like The Prestige, this is also set in a magic setting. You might not have to watch it twice to get it but it sure is a good movie.

The Prestige

This is a movie that I would definitely recommend for you to watch. I thought that it was very good. It will keep you thinking till the very end. Make sure that you rent it long enough to watch it twice. Don't try watching it while you are tired either, you might miss something.

Someone special

Since I was just a little stinky kid I have been knowing Justin very well. We spent a lot of time together and that means that I know pretty much all of the family also. From the first time that I met Mimi she treated me as if I was one of her own grandchildren. Everyone knows that grandparents are always trying to spoil the grandkids. I was lucky because I had a couple of sets of grandparents. Mimi and Papa Jim took me into their family and loved me like one of their own. They were both great people to be around at all times. I can remember how happy she was to see me, giving me a warm welcome with hugs and kisses. It is always good to know that someone loves you! I have so many great memories that will always comfort me. I hope that I will one day be a blessing to my grandchildren as Mimi was to me.

Mimi I will always remember you! I love you so much! Thank you for being a wonderful grandmother to me!

Chemical Disasters

One year I decided to something that I had never done before. Yeah, color my hair. I wanted to go blond. I do not know why I chose this color. Maybe because it was indeed the biggest change in color that I could do. I colored it the night before leaving for Florida with the Head family. Everyone thought it was funny except for Justin. He would not go anywhere with just him and I walking together. We had to have other people in company, in other words he thought I was "gay" and did not want for people to think that we were together!

My purple hair. I had to wait 20 minutes for it to settle.

My really cool blond hair.

Just in case you are wondering who did this to me, blame it on little sis', Anne-Kathryn.

Lesson of the day:

We learn best by experience right? Sometimes people even say that they wont learn till they do it themselves. Then there are times that you want to learn from someone else's example so you do not have to go through the "pain" of doing things the WRONG way.

Well I am here to tell you something that you do not want to learn by experience.

I was working in the yard yesterday. My neighbors and I were cutting trees and we needed a fire to start burning stuff. I got on fire duty and started breaking boards to small pieces and I was going to get them started with my new found fire-starter, pine cones. Anyway, when I was breaking boards I kind of forgot to make sure that there were no nails in the board. I just picked up the wood and SLAM! I hit my knee/thigh and the board did not break. When I looked down I saw something sticking out of my jeans. It was a nail. I told my neighbor "I think that it is stuck in my leg." He says "pull it out." So I yanked it, hard. Nothing came out. I then took off my jeans to see a nail stuck in my thigh. Warning: Details in this description may not be suitable for children or people with weak stomachs. When I first looked at it, it was almost like the nail head was in the leg and it was not letting it come out of the entry hole. I needed a bigger hole to get it out. Amanda got me a scalpel, or a straight razor (since I do not have any scalpels). I began cutting away at the skin and it just was not loosening the nail. I was worried that I was going to cut so deep I was going to have to use my staple gun (from the ax incident) to close it back up. So instead of cutting really deep I asked Amanda to call her sister or mom, whom are RN's, to ask them if it was better to yank it out or to keep cutting. I then took another picture while I was waiting. I was pulling the nail away from the skin and then it just came out. I was free. I made sure that there was nothing left in the leg. I continued to clean it out with the appropriate medicines. It was good and clean. I called my good Doctor friend to make sure my procedure was ok. Because of medical reasons I cannot release to docs name, but thanks Doc.

Moral of the story, when breaking boards make sure that you are not jamming nails into your leg.

Nail stuck in leg.

A call out to my bloggin' peeps

There are a number of you who have totally missed the month of February. That is not cool. I come on the computer everyday to be able to procrastinate and catchup on my peeps. If you cannot manage to do a least one post a month I am going to get very lonely, and we don't want that. Everyone wants for Scott to be happy right?

For those of you who need to make some changes in your blogging routine, you know who you are. But next time I am going to mention names and embarrass you in front of the world wide web.
