A

I chose the letter A to represent Acronym. Acronyms seem to be a huge part of our daily lives now, so I will share a few that I think are...interesting. Comment and let me in on a few others.

KFC - This is only ok because of their new "Chicken Mashed Potato Bowl"

GMA - This stands for Good Morning America. Why the heck do they need an acronym?

VMA's - I never really thought about this, but if it stands alone nobody would even know what it meant.

WTH - I actually like this one...because I am lazy.

OWP - Sadly, I am responsible for this one...but nobody knows what it means anyways. Hint: lube.

TB - For those of you that know my wife...The Birge.

I want more acronyms from y'all. Don't give me the obvious ones like lol or omg. Be creative.

Fat Pig

I was looking online with my friend Brandong and we somehow ran across this article. It talks about a kid who was hunting boars with his dad and killed a pig that was 9ft.4in. long and weighs over 1000 pounds! It looks like a freakin' hippo! Apparently, the guy that killed it was not a guy...it was an 11 year old boy who has been hunting since he was five. He shot the pig 8 times with a .50 caliber revolver. It looks like a freaking grenade would be needed to kill this thing.

Bridget's J.O.B.

As some of you may have heard, in true Jack Black form, Bridget stuck it to the man in her last meeting with her boss!

I was so proud of her because she is so passive, but she totally went off about the amount of her raise considering her promotion. Anyways, her boss came back to her and basically told her the offer for her rais is as stands and will not be adjusted. Due to this, the Birge is now officially looking for a new job.

If anybody knows of anything that is awesome for a hot chick to do, let her or me know. It needs to pay about 400,000 per year. J/K.

Once you pop, you better stop!

This morning we had our huge easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast and it was freaking awesome! Everything went smooth from a facilities point of view and parking was surprisingly easy compared to most other events at EPCC. That is until Bridget showed up. She is always willing to help and is one of the best darn flashlight holders this side of the Pecos. However, things change when she turns her back for one second.

There was a car pulling out of the grass parking lot today and Bridget had stepped away to move some cones when all of a sudden she heard something like a pfffssshhh!!! When she turned around she noticed a car pulling out of the parking lot (where she was stationed) leaking a lot of air out of a tire. Unfortunately, we don't know the people driving the car and they pulled off too fast for her to tell them that they were gonna make it about a hundred feet before their tire was completely flat. I guess there was like a metal spike or something sticking up out of the ground that they ran over and the rest is history.

So, just when it seemed like the Easter Egg Hunt was smooth as lama's spit we had a casualty of the rubber sort. If you are reading this blog and got a popped tire at the Egg Hunt, talk to Bridget. She did it on purpose.

A bit of Irony

Any of you that have seen the inside of my van know that I have it set up kind of like an office on wheels...a really dirty one. In order to do that, I have to have power to run the printer and computer. Well that power comes from a converter that is directly connected to the battery inside my van. Today, after I finished working, I realized that I left the power button on the converter on all day. This was drawing power from my battery, ergo, I have a dead battery.

The ironic part is that I am a "mobile mechanic" of sorts. I am supposed to be able to help people with these kinds of problems, but as Stephen can testify my instant jump starter hasn't worked for a short time...like a year and a half. Why does this kind of stuff always happen? The other day I saw a tow truck towing a tow truck. I also got hit by a softball and it freaking hurt.

Hopefully my van never runs out of oil. That would probably be worse.

Modest Mouse

I have this uncanny ability that many people wish they have. I can win stuff on the radio. I am totally the guy that calls in on anything and everything and because of that on Tuesday I won tickets on KROQ for the Ditch Day at Six Flags with Modest Mouse. That is the fifth time I have won something on the radio. I have previously won tickets to White Stripes, Muse, Chemical Brothers, and the Chemical Brothers CD. In addition, I helped my friends Alvin and Lori win 1000 dollars on KIIS FM when there name was called and they had 30 minutes to call in. That was pretty weird.

Anyways, as many of you know I was having a bit of trouble finding somebody that could go to Six Flags on Friday and to the concert after. Fortunately, I remembered that Bridget's cousin, Rachel, is a huge Modest Mouse fan and invited her. She was stoked and we had a blast! Tatsu and X are arguably the best two roller coasters I have ever been on. And Ninja is undoubtedly the worst. Especially considering the mountain you have to climb to get to the worst ride in the park. Such a weak payoff.

Fine, Here We Go!

Ok. So, it's been a while. I have been ridiculously busy for the last few weeks, but now I'm back!

Since I've been gone a ton has happened. We had a preview service for our Bellflower Campus, but Jamie sings too freaking loud so they kicked us out. Great friends of mine and many others, Bobby and Rachel, are no longer "Revolutionaries". We are all moved into our apartment, so, come on over. I got to be a farmer for a while, although I had trouble growing any crop. My softball team is still horrible, sorry to any of you that are reading this, but let's not deny the truth. Birge and I led life group for the first time as "Life Group Leaders" last night, and, although very unusual, the time was eye opening and refreshing. Nobody left until after 10 pm by choice. For those of you that didn't make it, sorry, but it was a "good one."

Here is some awesome news. Birge and I are taking a little vacation with a couple of our friends to Cabo for $75 round trip in June-ish. How awesome is that!

But, probably the most exciting thing to happen to me in years is my new black nitrile gloves arrived. So, now I can look awesome while working on cars, trucks, etc!

Shake what cha mama gave ya!
