who are you?

last night after playing poker ( i came in second out of nine players ) i got home and played on the computer for a little bit. while i was playing the cell phone beeped. this was odd because it was past midnight and everyone i know should have been in bed. i pick up the phone and see i have a text message. this is also weird because i have only sent 2 text messages in my entire life and received even less. i look at the message and it says something like ," hey david you want to go out...wink wink." umm...ok. so i message the person back and i tell them i am not david and i have no idea who is texting me. the person then responds by asking if this was bryan. now it is getting weird. i asked who is texting me and he says his name is greg. i ask if his last name is taylor and he says yes. so i tell "greg" to call me because i was really confused. greg said he couldn't because he just has his wisdom teeth cut out and that is why i asked him to text me when he was ready to go out. finally i learn that this guy also has a friend named bryan that is 26 but he lives in new mexico. i ended the conversation when the guy said he was moving to kentucky soon and wanted to know if it was easy to meet girls here. weird.

where do i rank?

where do i rank in life? am i important? do i just get in the way of other peoples lives? do i make a difference? most of the time i feel like i get in the way, like people would be better off if i wasn't around. i know for a fact that some people would be better off if i had never met them but is it true everyone i meet. there i people i like and love. i hope they feel the same about me.

Sorry

today when i was taking some stuff to the dumpster some ladies where out smoking and coughing. i went to the dumpster and thew everything away and started to head back inside when they asked me to come overe there. then one of them said to me, " bryan, there is a mouse over there that has eaten some rat poison and is just barely moving over there. can you do something?". i immedietly knew that i had to kill it. so i took the 2-wheeler ( the dolly ), flipped it upside down, placed the sharp part on its neck and ended its life. i felt bad but i also knew it had to be done. this was the first mammal i had to kill with my own hands. i hope i never have to do that again.

the little things

it is the little things we do in our lives that make the biggest impacts. a simple hello could be exactly what a person needed. a hug could be the difference between life and death for someone.

1 degree can make a difference

sorry i haven't posted in a while. i was sick this weekend with who knows what. friday i started running a fever and it didn't let up until monday night. i ended up having the strangest, crappiest dreams i have ever had. it got to the point where being awake and fighting sleep was better than sleep itself. this went on all weekend with my temp getting up to 102.8. my fever finally broke for good ( i hope ) monday night. it is strange how 1 or 2 degrees can make you feel like crap. it kind of makes you realize how complex we really are.

on a different note, i have a new country mix cd and it is great ( did i just say that? ) i am only on the second song but so far so good. i am starting to realize that the lyrics to country songs are the same as other types of music, just presented differently.

try scrapbooking with this font

i want to know where the teacher got the font in the first place. i don't think it comes with microsoft or create a card.

roll of dough

yesterday i was asked to go to wal-mart and get some groceries for tv night. we were making fruit pizza. so i got to wal-mart and opened up the list and started shopping. the first thing i needed was roll of dough. how am i supposed to know what kind of dough???? so i thought to myself, " hmm...she is making fruit pizza...pizza has dough...pizza dough!" sounds logical. get pizza dough to make fruit pizza. so i get the rest of the items, much easier, and headed home. i got home about 5ish and within about 5mins i was being yelled at for buying the wrong dough. apparently i was supposed to by sugar cookie dough. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT??? and this isn't the first time something like that has happened either. one time she gave me a list and on it said coconut. i had no idead what it was for so i bought her a coconut. i get home and once again i get yelled at within 5mins about buying a coconut and not shredded coconut. i didn't know that it was for german chocolate icing. i ended up making it myself ( and drank the coconut during survivor ). both times involved me going back to wal-mart.

moral of these two stories: if you want something, give a good discription of what it is!

my new theroy

i have a new theroy that i want to test. i need people to respond and be honest. my theroy is that people that think America's Funniest Home Videos ( AFV ) are funny, are more likely to find Jackass the movie funny. here are the results:

me ( guy ) - AFV: funny Jackass: funny
coworker ( female ) AFV: funny Jackass: funny
coworker ( male ) AFV: not funny Jackass: not funny
coworker ( male ) AFV: not funny Jackass: not funny

please send me your response so i can prove or disprove my theroy

it still continues ( an update of sorts )

howdy. sorry i haven't posted in a couple of days. here is a brief update of what has been going on:

- i selected a rough list of songs i want for my mix cd. i might change some because they don't fit with the feel of the cd. i have a couple of songs on there that people probably haven't heard before so that should fun to get reactions to those.

- luke was sick tuesday night and wednesday. the poor little guy would wake up screaming and he had a temp of at least 101. seeing those little tears coming out of his eyes kills me every time. i held him a lot the past couple of days.

- i found out weird al is coming out with a new cd! you have to check out http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=19694. the real song is chamillionare's ridin' ( actually kind of catchy ). the new weird al cd comes out on the 26th and he is featuring parodies of Chamillionaire, Green Day, Usher, R. Kelly and Taylor Hicks!

that is about it. oh...tonight is TV night!!! Grey's is on tonight!! i am so excited!!!!!!!

It has begun

i am now starting to work on a mix cd. i want a cd that kind of tugs at the heart strings a little. maybe a little sad, maybe a little mushy. but overall just good. a cd that you can fall asleep to or sing to as loud as you can in the car.

also on a different note...i am a computer geek. how do i know this? i ordered a really cool mouse ( here is a good picture of it ) and got it today! i think i might have giggled when i saw the box it was in. that is how i know i am a computer geek...i giggled over a computer mouse. but you know what, everyone needs something they can giggle about.

weekend up date...NSFW

hello people,
how is everyone doing? pretty good here. my mom, aunt, and little bro came down this weekend so i was really glad to see them. we also had a yard sale. i learned two things at the yard sale. the first is that from now on if i am going to be in the sun for any length of time i am going to need sunscreen. my white spots ( they are now neon pink ) kind of hurt. the second is that some people are so cheap that they will try to get you to go lower on something that is already really low. how much lower than a quarter do you want me to go?? a nickle maybe? free?? i think if i had free on some stuff some people would still try to go lower. but i had fun. i got to meet some new people and listen to one lady talk about her daughter and the marching band she was in ( little old ladies are funny ). and that is about it. the rest of the time i just hungout with family.

i think i have some thoughts brewing...and yes that is why it just got a little colder.

my finger got a boo boo

so today i went to applebee's. i was getting out of the car and i had my hand on the other door frame so i could pull myself out. well of course my friend that was in the front seat shut his door right ontop of my f key finger ( pointer finger ). now i can't bend it very well and i got a good chunk of skin taken off as well. it might be time to use the good ol insurance card.

oh and what great weather!!

on a way sadder note, i am now considered the worst father of the year. yesterday i put look on the bed and turned around to do something. the next thing i know i hear a thump and so i turned around and saw luke on the ground :( my heart fell into my stomach as i raced over to pick him up. he was stunned at first and then he cried. i felt so bad. luckily he wasn't hurt at all and just a little shaken up. i think i felt worse than he did. i kept telling him i was sorry ( he can't really understand me yet ) and that i wouldn't ever do that again. what a trooper.

i am bored out of my gord

i hate when i have things i can be doing but i don't really fell like starting something because either i am going home soon or i know that as soon as i start i am going to get called to do something eslse.

I AM BORED!

bring it on lady luck

last night i spent my last two dollars to get some jones soda. one of the caps says, " lady luck will soon visit you". i have been meaning to try my hand at the lottery. have you ever thought about what you would do with the money? in no particualar order here are some of the things i would do:
i don't even know if i would buy a new house right away. i would fix the one up that we are living in but i don't know about moving. i would want a new car but i have been through a lot with mine so i would probably upgrade it so it can go faster. i would also give my mom enough money to get a new car and pay off her house. i would also pay for my little bro's college ( oh and putting money away for luke is a given ). i would also give a good chunk to the church also. oh my friends. i would totally buy stuff for my friends. i would at least get all of them a laptop ( apple if the really want ) and just buy them all kinds of stuff. i wouldn't want it to feel like charity though because it isn't. i just want my friends to share in my happyness. if they want a house ( that is reasonable ) i would buy it for them. if one of them needs a new car, consider it done. the one thing i wouldn't want is for the money to change how i live or act. i would still work because i would become a big fat slob if i didn't. what would you do?

Hellooo every body

last night i played Frisbee golf ( disc golf ) in murray, ky!!! we have an 18 hole course just a couple blocks away! this is probably my favorite thing to do ( even better than video games ). i started playing over 14 years ago with my dad. we saw some people playing and thought it looked kind of cool so we went to the convient store and bought some regualr Frisbees ( notice i am capitalizing Frisbee :) and started playing. that didn't work to well. you see, disc golf dics are more dense than a Frisbee you would use to throw around on the beach or at the park. so...i think we got through most of the course before our discs broke ( cold weather + plastic + tree = breakage ). later we bought real disc golf discs and i have been playing ever since. one summer i played at least once a day, sometimes twice. oh how nice it was to not have job.

suri

there is still a small hope that suri was just some random baby they photoshopped into the picutre. or they could have gotten another baby and just pretened it was suri. i want a dna test




Vanity Fair Exclusive: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Talk About Baby Suri; 22-Page Family Portfolio by Annie Leibovitz
Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and Suri Cruise, photographed exclusively for Vanity Fair by Annie Leibovitz on Cruise's property in Telluride, Colorado, July 27, 2006.

NEW YORK, N.Y.—In a private conversation with Vanity Fair features editor Jane Sarkin, Katie Holmes tells her that "it's been heartbreaking" to see what's being said in the press about her family and her baby. "Some of the crap that's out there—the stuff that's said about my parents and my siblings [tabloid accounts implied that Katie's family did not hit it off with Tom]—it's really frustrating the amount of shit that's out there. And the stuff they say about Suri?! You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child."
Holmes explains that the gossip "eats away at me because it's just not O.K.," but that she keeps up on it because "this is my future. This is my family, and I care so much about them. To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is—to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around. I mean, where does it come from?"
Sarkin spent five days with the Cruise-Holmes extended family at Cruise's Telluride, Colorado, compound, sharing meals, taking hikes, and hanging out. Bella and Connor, whom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted during their marriage, were there, as well as Holmes's mother and father, Cruise's mother and sister, and other family members.
Sarkin reports that Cruise and Holmes coo over the baby like any new parents. "She has Kate's lips and eyes," Tom says of the baby. "I think she looks like Kate." Holmes counters, "I think she has Tom's eyes. I think she looks like Tom."
"I was overjoyed in being pregnant," Holmes tells Sarkin, "and then had to withstand ridicule about my pregnancy when it was the most normal, non-controversial thing imaginable." Of speculation in the press, Holmes says, "All those things were invented."
Holmes explains their purchase of an in-house sonogram machine to Sarkin, saying that they were followed by paparazzi and as a result her doctor had to make house calls. "The sonogram was for his use!" she says.
Leading up to the frenzy over the pictures, "we were just living our lives, being a family," Cruise says. "Actually, we were taking our own photos and always planned to release those at the right time." But "then all the craziness began," Holmes says. "This 'Where is Suri?' controversy. Tom and I looked at each other and said, 'What's going on?' We weren't trying to hide anything."
"It seemed only natural to have Annie take the first public photographs of Suri," says Cruise of their decision to allow Leibovitz to photograph the baby. "Annie is the only professional photographer who ever shot Bella and Connor as children."
"The moment the doctor handed me Suri," Holmes tells Sarkin, "I was just ready. The feeling is indescribable. All I can say is the moment I looked in her eyes I felt like ... Mom." Holmes continues: "She's a glorious girl. She's the miracle of our life."
The October issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on September 6, and nationally by September 12.

how can i forget this!!

one good thing about effingham is that they have a frisbee golf course. i think some of the pars are to high ( on a par 5 i can usually make it in 3 ) but the course lay out is pretty good. on sunday September 3 on the first hole, i made a hole in one!!! i threw the disc between two trees and it skipped off the ground and into the basket! ON ONE THROW!!! i have been playing for a long time and this is my first ever ace. we only ended up playing 9 holes but at the end of 9 i was 11 under par.

brad, tim and rascal...oh my

what a suprisingly good weekend. i got to see a lot of great friends and make some new ones. here is a quick rundown:

friday - jac and i left for sturgis, ky for our friend's wedding. i got to see a lot of my friends from college ( and after ) and i also got to meet some new people so that i was good. after the rehersal we went back to lissa's place and hungout for a little bit. we were going to swim but it was to cold. after that we drove back to the hotel and crashed.

saturday - the day of the wedding. i have been in a ton of wedding. i have been everything a guy can be ( well, i guess i guy can be a bride... ) so i know how these things work. let me tell you, this was the busiest ushering job i have ever had. the wedding was going to be outside but the rain pushed it indoors. this proved to be bad because i think eveyone in the town came out to the wedding. needless to say, we ran out of sitting room. by the end we had made two new rows and people were standing all along the sides of the wall. after the wedding and all that we drove up to effingham and chilled there the rest of the weekend.

sunday - i got to relax and hangout with brad ( my brother in law ). i think that is about it

monday - we celebrated we nic's ( jac's sister ) b-day and drove home. i got a venti sized frapacino....it was sooo good and it kept me awake till 2am. i think another thing that kept me awake was that i listened to country music almost the entire way home. i even got to where i could pick out some of the songs. plus, i didn't realize it at the time, but the name of my blog is a country song! i think i am going to by either a rascal or brad pasely cd.

that is all for now...sorry for the long post

i am down here

have you ever felt like you were always second best? like you always get picked over everyone else? i get that feeling a lot. i feel there is always someone better at every thing i can do or say. i just get passed by without a wave or a hi.
