one more ad

So I have been looking for this commercial for years! The reason I had such a hard time finding it, is I thought that it was an SNL spoof but yesterday, after searching for 30 min, I found out that it was actually for sprite. And sure enough, I found it. Well, enjoy, and I hope some of you remember it too.

Back from the dead

Wow its been a long time. I know i have been slacking big time but we have been busy lately. Hopefully some time this week, I will get some new stuff posted. For know, here is a tv ad that still cracks me up every time.



And this video of course reminds me of another one of my favorite movie moments...

Save Ferris

Although this is very well done, some people just have way too much time on their hands. I just wish I could show this to someone who has not seen the movie and ask them what they think its about.

men at work

You know, I'm not sure if these guys were gay or not (but after watching 'land down under' and especially 'who can it be now' I really think they were/are) but they sure had some great songs (and great music videos too). Its amazing how well you can remember the words to a song when you haven't heard it in like 10+ Years. I did really good on 'land down under' and 'overkill' but only the chorus on 'who can it be now'






I think this one cracks me up the most.

As a side note, this is just one more reason why I LOVE scrubs. I mean, turk, jd AND Colin Hay?! What could be better?

sharp as a tack, or maybe a razor

For those of you who might not yet know, I have decided to go without the beard. I figured the beard had a good run but now its time for something different. For years I have used razors of the disposable variety. Until now. You see, i never found much difference between a disposable razor and a nice, name brand one (just so you know, I don't consider BIC a name brand razor). And that was probably because I had not yet discovered the Gillette Fusion Power Phantom, thats right the phantom. Now for years I have made fun of the ridiculous 5 bladed, "battery operated" razor. I thought it stupid for a few reasons:

One, Gillette only went with the 5 blades because Shick out did the Gillette mack 3 with their 4 bladed razor the quattro.

B. What difference is a 'vibrating' razor going to make? Sounds more like just a faster way to cut your face off.

and fourthly, its just a gimmick to make more money.
(coincidentally I do know I said one, b, and fourthly {which i'm not entirely sure is even a real word} and did so for the purposes of entertainment so please don't correct me)

But that was long before I tired it, and let me tell you, talk about big car comfort! This really is one of the smoothest shaves I ever had, aside from that time when I was about 13 and I shaved off my peach fuzz hoping it would grow back as a massively sweet beard (or at least a nasty stash).

So if you are looking for the perfect gift for fathers day, let me just suggest the Gillette Fusion Power (which comes in the phantom and the phenom (what ever that is). It really is the perfect gift because beside giving an excellently close shave, it can fillet a fish, strip paint off the side of your house, and is one of the few items that defy gravity.

Things that freak me out

I was reading a friend's blog the other day and he had made a list of things that freak him out. As I was reading it, it got me thinking about what things freaked me out. So here are a few of my 'fears', some rational and some not.





1. Nursing homes! I don't know exactly what it is but I just can't do nursing homes. I've been in many of them, some nice, some run down, but they all freak me out. One of the worst nightmares I have ever had included a nursing home.





2. Not being able to move my legs! I wouldn't say I am totally claustrophobic but if I am in a confined space and I can't move my legs, i start to freak!






3. Socks with toes!! No thank you!






4. Porcelain dolls, clowns and some animals. Especially when they are in a display case. maybe thats why I have never wanted to see any of the Chucky movies.

Well thats about all for now. If I think of anymore good one, I'll let you know.

Time for something new

So i have been trying to think of something to replace tie tuesdays. I finally decided on something worthy of a weekly post, I would like to introduce 'views from a hammock.' A few weeks ago, i bought a hammock for my birthday and set it up in the backyard. As I have been chilling in the backyard the last few days, I have decided to share my experiences with everyone else and help spread the hammock lifestyle and philosophies. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

The Beach

Well I just have to say that the beach was Awesome! Totally need to do that more. I realized that we didn't take any pictures of the kids, which i regret, but I took plenty of pictures of the rock, so at least we will remember how B-E-A-utiliful it was there. Enjoy.

So we are a little low on food right now and we don't want to go shopping because we will be gone for a weekend so I got a little creative for dinner. I call them potato balls. They consist of marinated shredded chicken in the center with onion and cheese, wrapped in garlic mashed potatoes, rolled in stuffing and bread crumbs topped off with an onion slice and some more cheese. I mixed the extra chicken in with some turkey gravy poured it on a plate and placed the potato balls in the gray. Mmm. Good eatin! Still needs to be perfected so let me know if you have any ideas that would just set it over the top.

amazing feats of amazingness

well today we say goodbye to a long time friend, Tie Tuesday. Probably the worst part about losing my job is that fact that I don't have a job will allow tie tuesdays. So in honor of the great times and ties we have seen, i felt I should so something special. Perhaps a feat of such grandure and featiness, that it would inspire people in such a way, that tie tuesday would in fact continue forever in our hearts.

after minutes of mental preparation I was ready to perform the great feat i would probably ever face in my life. Sure people called me crazy and tried to convince me to change my mind, but i wasn't doing it for them. I was doing it for you, for myself, and most importantly the ties.

After 30 minutes of tying 48 windsor knots, I was ready to begin. With safety crew nearby, I was given the all clear, and I began.









TaDa! 48 ties!! A new WORLD RECORD (i'm assuming, as I'm sure no one else is as dumb or as bored as myself)!

HAPPY TIE TUESDAYS FOR EVER!!!

Jenny Lake

Just a background i am working on. Its not totally done but I think my lake is starting to look like a lake. Hurray!

Spring is here!

Oh wait. I mean not here. Spring is not here. Incase you are confused (its understandable to be so) it IS the 1st of May. Its about 20 degrees and its snowing. Thats right, snowing. I'm starting to understand why the wind blows so much in Idaho, because Utah sucks. Just kidding (but not really).

Happy May 1st!

My new look

Here is a picture I took today as I was cruzin on my kick aspen hog like a bat out of hell michigan.

Wow. Its only tuesday?!

Now I know, this tie is a repeat but I just love it. Happy Tuesday!

happy birthday to me!!

Now sure it may be a little early but this weekend I got some sweet birthday gifts. First, we were really bored so we went for a little drive and ended up in park city. We checked out the outlet mall and found a kick butt leather jacket that was marked down from 240 to 99 bucks. We didn't know if we should spend that much so we had the salesman hold on to it for us. About an hour later we went back to get it. Then when he rang it up he told us the total was $67! AWSOME!

Then later that day we were just kicking it at the in-laws when we decided to go to farmington where I got an even sweeter gift, a trampoline! Yeah buddy. So here are a few pictures of my great gifts. It was 36 and snowing outside when I was putting the tramp. together so we will add more pictures later if it warms up.

Achmed

I would like to introduce you to Achmed. Now he is a terrorist so he can't be expected to be too polite.

My new look

This is my new Cyclops head gear. I am the bald Cyclops!
zuuuuu! Zaaaaaaap! Kablooie!
Wow, I'm a little nuts today.

Just something I am working on

This is a binder cover i am working on for STI's big conference. Best part is this time its not too crazy for them.

Tie Tuesday Returns!

Thats right. Tie Tuesday is back! I would like to apologize for the lack of ties the last few weeks. Tuesdays have become a rather busy day for me but i have realized what my priorities are. So as a special treat, i give you 4 new ties (thank you jake for your picture) and a look at past ties. Happy Tuesday.

My new look

I like to call this one, the stink eye!
