More Than A Porpoise, More Than A Man, A Manimal

I want a Porpoise who will laugh for no one else

Dad got a Land Rover, finally, God is truly good. I just wish I could have been the one to buy it for him, oh well. And congrats to Justin as well, getting his first real car because of his first real job, nice job. Justin, sometime I want to talk to you about your vision of your future with filmmaking and other stuff. I feel something brewing in a more creative way for our family, not sure what that means, but it’s just a feeling. Anyway, sorry to be so hard on you Ryan, but it has to be done, and nice job on the golfing, you have no idea of the violations I have planned for you. Finally tonight, the Flaming Lips. They tend to do crazy weird things at their shows like having people dress up in bunny outfits and run around on stage, so we shall see what happens. I’ve just got to get through Liz Phair to get to the bunnies. Sometime tomorrow we will see Finding Nemo, and The Italian Job is getting predictably bad reviews, maybe it’s because they show you the whole movie the preview? The next thing I’m looking forward to is 28 Days Later, I’ve always had an idea I my head for a movie like this one, although not as scary, oh well. And Tracey can’t wait for 2 Fast 2 Furious :). And as I mentioned before, hopefully I’ll be able to charge this weekend and enjoy some surf, currently waves are 2 to 3 ft, an occasional 4 footer with fair conditions, good long board conditions. I gotta get my stoke back on. Tracey and got in to Amazing Race last night. With all our shows over for the summer, we gotta get in to something? Well, I’m off to another weekend in paradise, wish you were all here to soak it up with me, maybe someday, maybe soon. Late

It’s starting to heat up in SD and get super nice, beach going weather. We had a nice visit to Chowchilla, Yosemite was awesome (except for all the loud Euros) and I was able to get three trips to Sonic in, so good, and good for me. We saw Bruce Almighty, which I liked and for some reason we watched a lot of college women’s softball, go figure. It was weird to see how Mary and Casey live, being totally consumed by school, I don’t know how you guys do it! But your reward is coming soon. Hey Mary, here is a west coast festival I found, www.spiritwestcoast.com, not sure if you will be around for it.

Congrats go out to the Konya family for their new addition. Good to hear that everything is going well. Tonight we are going out to look at some more condos and we are pretty excited. Yesterday I went to buy the new SF59 at Tower Records and it was 17.99! Stupid. So I picked up Rooney for 8 bucks instead. So Ryan, are you going to continue to blog? If you start one, you have a responsibility to keep it up, don’t be a slacker, you don’t want to be known as a bad blogger, you’ll never recover.

Mike, your definitely welcome to crash with us, but Wesley is not. We can definitely play some ball, it’ll be fun, hopefully some good indie movies will be out when you’re here that we could hit. I’m glad to hear that Justin made it back safe, but I can’t get your website to show up, you still thinking about coming out here sometime?

Friday night I finally get to see the Flaming Lips. Tracey is looking forward to seeing Finding Nemo, so I think we will be hitting that on Saturday. And, I don’t want to jinx it, but I hope to finally be able to surf this weekend, it’s been way too long. I watched Rounders the other night (thanks Mare and Case). I love that movie and I forgot how much. It’s very inspiring. We are meant to do something in this life and we should not fight it. Rounders uses gambling to show this important life lesson, which is funny and ironic. Rounders is in that Boiler Room category, a great movie, with great lines and a good message in the end, it’s just presented in a non-traditional, if not offensive (to some) way. Lucky was really good last night. We also went to our weekly Bible study and that was cool as well. I’m really looking forward to Ryan and Michele being here in a few weeks, unless Ryan keeps forgetting to blog, then he can’t come out.
