Well well well, look who has just started a blog page, good old Jeb, check him out at http://xrobotboyx.blogspot.com/
Another one bites the dust. Jeb's site is funny because I don't think he has ever seen Larsons, but Jeb chose the same format that Lars has. Speaking of Jeb, today I was listening to Reggie and the Full Effect and they always remind me of painting apartments (which I did for a living for a year with Jeb). At the time I hated it, crappy job and under paid. But now looking back, I mostly remember goods times of joking and talking with Jeb, going out to eat all the time and giving Jeb surprise tea baggings, that was always fun. Its weird looking back on bad or crappy times doing certain jobs or school and what not and how I mostly remember the good times or parts, I guess thats a good thing. Anyway, my office just got a foos ball table, and they put it in the corner by my desk, score for Marr, there goes my productivity.

"This is Dwarf invasion!!!" Reggie and the Full Effect
Lars, you've got the order messed up. You move out here, then we will do something for the Lord. I mean, God knows we can't do anything on our own right now, where we are now.
Yo, my brother Justin showed me this website last weekend, it is one of the funniest things I have ever read, check it out (there is some swearing, so parents, keep you kids away) http://www.realultimatepower.net/
Not much going on, El Nino (which means The Nino-Farley quote) has given SD the 5th overcast day in a row here, suck. I'm sad to hear that Push, Nevada has been cancelled, I was into that show, except that Ben Afflect created it with his fake hair. I'm actually getting excited for the Jackass movie next week. I know, juvenile. Late.

Dad-I want a mouse pad
JE-why did you cut your hair? I'm sad now. I was going to suggest we shave our heads together over christmas, but oh well
Jay-I like Mocha Frapes, but do not seriously send me one
Lars-Call me sometime, or at least communicate to me on your blog like you promised!!!!

My AIM ID is enubb777, so add me to your buddy list and lets chat. And if anybody would like a picture of how much my gut has progressed since moving, let me know and I will email you one. peace greace
People are weak out here about the weather, its getting into the 50's at night and resident SoCals are freaking out, they should live in northwest Ohio for 23 yrs, then see what they think. Its all a matter of perspecitve I guess. Last night I went skating (no, not in-line skating) for the first time since I moved to SD. It felt good but I sucked. I was supposed to meet up with this guy who owns a skate shop by my apartment, but he did not show. Just another day in paradise for me. Today I'm feeling a little old school w/ my music selection. I messin up some Queers, Lagwagon and an Ataris CD that Tracey's brother and wife got me. I'm also destroying on some Rush, Doors, Joe Jackson and Steve Miller, as well as a little Steeler's Wheel just to remind me of going to the HOUSE in the middle of the night. And next week the new Koufax CD comes out, and it is really good, so you should check it out. I see they are playing in BG coming up, wish I was going to be there. For some reason yesterday I found myself on Will Weatons web page, you know the actor from Stand by Me and Star Trek. He is actually pretty funny and sarcastic, especially on his FAQ page. Ok, now for some personal messenges...

Dad- when you get done taping Sapranos next week, just send the tape (and your preaching tape) to us here, instead of to Tracey's parents. It will be less stuff for us carry back on the plane. Sorry to hear about your injuries, guess you will be taking it easy for a bit.
JE-good to see your camera shipped, heard you got hit in the leg by a ground ball? How many homers?
Kevin-happy b-day, hope your coming to the cousins reunion next weekend (if you do, bring me some Ceegars)-hi Emily
LJ-your emo, send me your surf board, since your not using it
SJ-hurry up on that mp3 server
Jay-I want you to put a frape on dry ice and send one to me
Jeb-IM me sometime, loser
Dustin-you work too much, get a life

For those of you are into Rome, check out his great take on the hapless bengals, I love his sarcasm. If you not into Rome, get there.

Wow, I almost forgot to mention it, but congrats go out to my old friend Jeb for caughing up the ring and getting engaged, now hurry up and move out here.
Quick note to SJ, I listened to the new Koufax online, and it is bomb, can't wait to get that, unless you already have it, then you can give it to me. Why don't you hurry up and move back out here so I have someone to skate with, fool. Ok, read on.......
Ok boys, lets try to play some defense tonight and maybe win a game. Anyone who pops up gets a spanking from me when I come back for Christmas. Cmon dudes, sack up and play with some heart. I wish I could play with you all.

Ok, I got totally freaked out last night. First off, I got off my fat A and finally played some more b-ball down in OB. There is this nice outdoor court with lights on Ebers st. It was like 7pm and the sun was already down. I was playing 2 on 2 when this cop car pulls up. The cop says to us, “Hey, look at that. What is that?” while pointing up to the sky over the ocean (this court is about 8 blocks from the ocean). What I saw was just scary. It was cloudy out, and we all saw a small white light shining through the clouds. It looked like a crack in the sky starting at the light going down towards the water. Three things made this scary, number one, the moon was in the East, so the light could not be the moon. Secondly, the sun had been down for over an hour, so wasn’t the sun. Lastly, this “crack” in the sky starting at the light was RED. The dudes I was playing ball with were freaking out, like this was it, someone fired a nuclear bomb at is. I kid you not, its what it looked like. One dude said, “F this, I’m going home and locking my doors”. This other dude was kinda laughing and made a funny reference to Red Dawn, that old Patrick Swayze movie. So I said something about getting AK-47’s and raising hell with the Commies. We actually quit our game and all went home. Well, I drove towards the ocean to see if I could get a better look, I mean, if this is it, might as well have front row seats huh? By the time I got to the coast, I couldn’t really see the light anymore. Well, I go home, and later that night on the news, they say that the Navy was testing some missile. Freaks. Thanks for telling us, and freaking the hell out of me. I swear, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Especially in times like these, you just don’t know what is going to happen. Anyway, thought I would share that weird experience with you.

Besides being freaked out, Tracey and I watched Count of Monte Cristo last night, love that movie. Tracey had never seen it, she liked it. It is a great redemption story. And I took apart my skateboard and cleaned my hardware and oiled them down. Now I’m really ready to start skating again. I’ve been thinking about it everyday since I got here, and finally got things together. I have compiled quite a gut since moving here, so I need to get out more and burn some LBs. More ball and skating will hopefully overcompensate for all the great eating we are doing here in SD. Although I must say, I sorely miss my bread sticks from Polleyees (however you spell it), and I really could use a brown jug from Trotters.

This is for Justin, by brother. I prolly will update to 10.2 this week, but I need a short break from computers, especially my Mac. I was so pissed Sunday morning at that stupid zip drive, it actaully ruined my whole day and made me frustrated at everything else that happened Sunday, like the Browns sucking. I'll try to see Spirited Away though.

Ok, for everyone else, my brother and I are going to communicate on just our blogs from now on, as an experiement, since it is funny how many people we know have blogs or web journals, so occastionally you will have to wade through personal messenges. I'm thinking about getting rid of my email and making people get blogs in order to talk to me, just for fun. No phone, email or visiting for now on. If you need me, blog me. If you already have a trip planned to come out here, then you are safe (Jay, Ryan & Michele, Harr and Larson over break), but the rest of you are outa luck. What do ya think? I'm just thinking about it. As you can see, its Monday and I'm bored.
I definitely had a good weekend with my brother and sister in town, although it went too fast. Both Mary and Justin had to leave pretty early Sunday. I really don't feel like going into the details of the weekend because no one really cares anyway, except probably my dad. I will say that Red Dragon was one messed up movie, although really good. I feel like saying it was better than Silence of the Lambs, but I'm not ready yet to say that. Thanks Emily for saying that I am odd, definitely true. Thats it for now.
