| Okay, here's the deal. I spend way too much time on the Internet. So, my goal is to go a whole school year without Internet on my room computer so I can get a life again.  I will no longer be using Xanga or MySpace, but I will be continuing to check my email if you need to contact me. My email is as follows:

Happy blogging! | | |
| Woohoo so I've mostly recovered from my sweet trip to Wyoming. Nothing like some good, old school laid back fun and relaxation. But then I had night class Monday...which is okay because it's Intro to Philosophy (it turned out to be a majorly sweet class).
Julie has been learning Texas Hold 'Em, which is sweet because we don't have 1,000,000 hobbies in common. She's getting pretty good, so it's a good thing I don't play for money.
I miss the kids I babysit...but then again, it is nice to not work 50-60 hours this week like I usually did in June. :)
Peace out homies. | | |
| Holy cow. Another 18 hour drive is now complete! Now time for sleepy... | | |
| Hallelujah. Back from camp...tomorrow morning I leave at 5:30 in the morning (yuck) to start an 18-hour drive with my mom and Julie to go to Wyoming to see my relatives. I can't wait...in two days' time I will be soakin' it up with my soulmate. Brook trout fishing...riding horses...hiking... it's about flippin' time. | | |
| The Tale of the Burning Ford Astrovan:
I just got back from CCLW for a few hours until tonight's DCC night class, and I wondered how you nominate people for a runner-up for the 2005 Darwin Awards...
Yesterday on the way to CCLW Saturday morning (yes, I have made the drive to or from CCLW four times in 3 days), I saw a bunch of smoke billowing from the side of the road on the horizon. I was wondering, "Gee, I hope that's not a fire!" Sure enough, there was smoke pouring from underneath the hood of a late model Astrovan. Oh, but the story doesn't stop there. As we got closer, I could see massive flames shooting out from underneath the front engine compartment.  Not good! I thought. Then, I see this long trail of fire behind the van where the van caught on fire. I wondered how the grass behind the van caught on fire until...
(**drum roll**)
...until I saw two people behind the minivan pushing the van. Now who sits in a van that catches on fire and thinks, "Gee. My van is on fire. I better get out and push it." 
Later that day on the way back, I saw the charred trail of burnt vegetation where I had previously seen the van on fire. It was a long, black trail, and then, a very large, black circle about 30 feet in diameter. I sure hope the van didn't explode while the two guys were pushing the van, but I can't say I would be surprised if it did.
Wheel of morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson we have learned:
"Never push a vehicle that has been engulfed in flames...especially since every engine is connected to a gas tank." | | |
