Testing – one, two, three…

Well, I have never, officially blogged before. I have no idea how this is supposed to work, but I figured – what the heck… I might as well try since people ask about our half-way, non-existent blog all the time. So, while I sit here on Sunday evening watching Lady in the Water, I have decided to give something new a shot. So, now the blog probably looks dumb and boring, but, cut me a little slack – I've never done this before.

Stephanie and I went on a little spree this week. For Stephanie's birthday (which is on Wednesday) we went and got a new entertainment center. However, the one that Stephanie really wanted is only made for flat-screen TVs… so he had to go get a new TV too. I sure think it's great. It reminded me a little of the kid who gave his mom a hockey stick for her birthday and then asked if he could use it. I know; I'm terrible. (Steph is in the other room, so she can't stop me from saying things like that. Heh heh heh. So I spent yesterday killing people on the PS3 in high definition!

I have to admit, this movie puts me into a very introspective and thoughtful mood. Do you ever see those movies that inspire you to be something beyond what you currently are? I watch this and I feel like screaming with the urge to write, draw, clean, read, and fly. I want to be a better person and help everyone I meet. But alas, I always fall short. Do you ever feel like if you have a dream and you think about it all the time, that those are the things that are never realized? Wow, this is sounding far too sappy for a blog.

YAY! The Fourth of July is coming up and I am thrilled. Stephanie loves the fireworks and I love not having to work.

Um…

So…

Seriously? I don't know what is appropriate for this. Do I tell you that my sister got a puppy and I love it? Both of my sisters now have dogs and I am feeling very left out. Martha hates her dog… and I would take it, but we can't have pets. Oh, what terrible fortune I have to not be able to have a "lidda pup" in this apartment. So, hear me and hear me well – I will have a dog someday and it will be the freakin' best dog in all the land. I don't think that Dena or Martha have mentioned their dogs on their blogs… but not only do I never write on blogs, but I never check other people's blogs. POW TAKE THAT!

Okay, are you still reading this? My life is far too boring for you to care this much. I go to work and deal with people's medical bills. Some days I even go to the doctor's offices and pick their deposits and mail. Steph and I clean the building where we work on Monday and Wednesday evenings. I go and write with my friend Kollin. His wife has a blog – I don't know what it is. Heck, if this even posts, I'll amazed. Kollin, Greg, and I kill aliens and bad-guys on video games on the weekends. We go to church and teach the Gospel Principles class. We are typically interrupted by an older man in our class who like the "deeper" points of doctrine. Today's lesson was on the Sabbath Day. He brought up that there were six creative periods and a resting period – but not seven "days." He brings it up every time.

I love this movie. "Ma. MA!" Heh heh heh. I love the relationship between Yung Soon and her mother. If you haven't seen this movie, you suck just a little bit. It's not scary or anything. It's meant to be a bedtime story for the director's daughters. Does anyone know how to pronounce his name? Anyway, it's not scary – it's just very transcendent. In my opinion this is M. Night Symalahn's best… no, his name isn't spelled right, just deal with it. But the movie is fabulous. The only other movie that makes me feel like this was American Beauty. Now, of the two, Lady in the Water is much better because you don't have to deal with the nudity, sex, violence, drugs, and language that American Beauty has. The point that the writers and the director were making in American Beauty was really good… but it was FILLED with absolute crap. So, save yourself the trouble and just watch Lady in the Water instead. Happiness!

Stephanie is super hot. If you didn't know this, you are either blind, or you don't ever look at girls like that. And you women, don't tell me that "you don't think of girls like that" because I know that you would be lying. Girls all the time are like "Oh my gosh you are like super cute." Trust me, on my side of the office it is just me, Greg, and a bunch of girls. Holy crap. So, I am an expert about this. So you girls can accept the fact that Stephanie is super gorgeous. You guys – though I doubt there are many of you because blogging seems like more of a girl thing – I'll allow you to accept the hotness of my wife, but I better not catch you checking her out. That is my job.

Stephanie, stop reading this or else you are going to tickle me.

NO… No… AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! HEH HEH HAA! No stop! No… I take it back! I TAKE IT BACK! The TV was for you too. I don't suck. And you continue to be hot.
