Belvis

Last weekend Meghan's parents went out of town to visit Adam and Jessica, and we got to house-sit for four days. We had to take care of a half dozen crazy dogs (their four + Buck and Loretta) and feed the dozens of chickens and pick up their eggs. This was all very worth it, though. Why you ask? They have cable. I watched baseball games, I watched basketball games, drug court, american gladiators, some history channel, and even the Office on Thursday night. But the best part, by far, was a new show on CMT called, "Can you Duet?". It's the same premise as American Idol, but the contestants are all duets and country singers. I watched a two hour marathon of this. One of the duets was a 20-ish redneck guy from Kentucky with long thick hair and a bandanna and his cousin "Belvis" a 30-ish bald guy who had taken him under his wing. Wow, I thought what a name! Belvis. That is a name for the male heir to the Walton name right there. I love that name. Anyhow, the judges end up letting Belvis's cousin move to the next round, but tell Belvis he didn't really have any talent. I was pretty bummed for Belvis. So, anyone with cable, you have to check this show out. And, if you're like me and a Belvis fan, you can offer him your condolences here. Yes, that's right, Belvis has a myspace.

I have a birthday coming up so naturally I have been thinking about that subject. I am really feeling weird about it this year. 26 years? wooooo. I am now closer to being 30 than to being in college again. My parents are FIFTY years old. In ten years my parents will be 60. 60! I always figured my self as being a bit more successful in the world by this age. Like owning a home maybe or something. Or having a career. Although, I do have a good job now. But come on, I still drive the same truck I did eight years ago. I still wear the same clothes from high school. I feel like the Justin Bateman character from Juno. Its weird.

Anyone going to Springfest? I want to see this guy.

My dog craps more than you could ever imagine. And most of the time it's in the house. This has got to stop. Other than that, he is awesome. He likes to chase his tail, nip the buds off of flowers, chew up shoes, and sit in the sunshine.

Does anyone know how old George Harrison was when the Beatles broke up? He was 26.

Well I just spent about an hour on a new blog post, I went to preview a link I had put in it, and came back and the whole blog was all gone. This my friends, is why I haven't blogged in almost a year.

I don't care for that: Blogger

Hey! I found my 1st blog! It was in the drafts folder.

***Blogger's Note: Most of this I reposted the next day, but here is the original.

Hola Amigos! I have returned. For how long or of what quality of blogs I will make, that is anybody's guess. I will not attempt to catch everyone up with the last year of my life that has not been blogged about. I will start from today and move forward as if I never stopped blogging in the first place. Because that is how I handle my problems, I ignore them and just keep on going as if they were not there. (I would not recommend this approach when dealing with creditors, collection agencies, or the Washington County Library, as I have discovered.) So with out further ado....



Things going on in my life currently:



1. Camping. Not that I have been doing any, but that I want to be. Between my two week-ends a month spent at Rockline and Meghan having to work in the nursery every other Sunday, we hae had no camping trips thus far this year. And in May I will start my new schedule of being off on Thursday and Friday and working every Saturday and Sunday for a month. So hopefully we can pull of an awesome camping trip to the Elk for my birthday. That segues us into point number two.



2. Birthdays. For the last couple of months I have been feeling kinda depressed about aging. I've never been the least concerned in the past. But Its been on my mind a lot lately. I'll be 26 soon. I'm closer to being 30 than to being back in college again. My parents are 50! Crazy, no? In 10 years my parents will be 60!



3. I really want to see this guy . Anyone going to Springfest this year?



4. I am going to try to start learning sign language.
