I Moved

I finally moved out! Im now living in Wood Ranch in a two bedroom condo I share with my uncle who is here about a quarter of the time, but the rest spent in Vegas. Its really cool, gated community, all that good stuff. Got a little longer drive to work now, but Im out on my own, so its worth it.

1 month exactly

Scott: December 4th, 2005 Scott: January 4th, 2006

December 4th was my cousin's wedding, and so I shaved my face except my goat-t. I decided since I was going to go up to the mountains at the end of the month, I would not shave until I got back. Its now a month later ( Janunary 4th ) and except for trimming my goat-t, and cleaning up my neck and cheeks, I have not shaved my face. What do you think?

25 Years Ago Today

Its the anniversary of the "Miracle" on ice. The 1980 USA Hockey Team defeated the Russians in one of sports biggest upsets. The USA wasnt even expected to make it to the medal round, but they persisted and made it, only to find the team that had killed them only a couple weeks prior in an exhibition game. They were expected to be killed again in the 1st round of game of the medal round, but stuck to their guns, played their game, and found away to win. 2 Days later they would claim the Gold medal by defeating Finland in the final game. The men who played and coached on this team are true champions and heros. Their story is 25 years old, and yet their message still lives on. It doesnt matter what the odds are stacked up against you, if you believe and truely try your best, try your hardest, you can achieve anything, you can make a Miracle happen.

Jarrod's Wedding

"Holy Shit" was the only thing I kept thinking in my head as I stood as best man at one of my best friend's wedding. Jarrod married Becky yesterday. Thats crazy. Im so happy for the both of them. Its just weird to send your best friend off like that. Its a feeling you dont really understand. Im just glad that Jarrod and Becky did it, and had a great time. Their wedding was an awesome one and the party afterwards was a lot of fun. I just wish them the best.

List

I found this, thought it was funny, but true The Men's List: all are labled 1 for a reason 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday = Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of thetides. Let it be. 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a question you don't want us to answer, expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really. 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, the shotgun formation, or how to work on the car. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round is a shape. 1. Thank you for reading this: Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

Sushi

So I went to this place called Tokyo Delves for the first time. Now I tried sushi years and years ago and didnt really like it so I've pretty much refused to eat it ever since. This place however was an awesome sushi bar to go to and since I was invited out with a bunch of my friends, i decided to go. They had chicken there so I could have eaten that, but I decided to give the sushi a try. I put my trust in my buddy/ twin brother Charley to pick out some good sushi for me to try out. I was drunk by the time that the sushi finally got on the table so if I didnt really like it, most likely I was gonna puke, but to tell you truthfully, it was really good. So, for those who have never tried it and are affraid because you think it will be too fishy or nasty tasting, take it from me who thought the same thing until just the other night, its not that bad, in fact its good and I know I will eat it again without even questioning it.

Stand Up Comic

So I had my first experience doing stand up comedy the other night. You've got to give it up to the guys who go up there and try to make an audience laugh. They've got major balls. My buddy Danny I always knew was going to be good, and he proved me right, but when he was asked to host for a month at Murphy's in Simi he needed a couple of talents to come out and was running low. So I volunteered knowing Im not really a stand up comedian, but I figured what the hell. I got up there after a last minute decission to do so cause I was so freaked out. I had a calm come over me and I delivered my routine the way I wanted to without missing things I wanted to talk about. I had the audiences attention and I got laughs, thats all I guess and stand up wants. I had a lot of people come up and tell me they liked what I did and said they hope I get up there again, so look out, I might just find myself on stage at Murphy's once again, trying to be the stand up comic.
