those were the days.

you have grown up so much broo! i can't believe you're graduated from hike school. i love you and am so proud of you. please still be my friend when we're old. ok.

ps. i'm sorry for dropping your diploma and for dad stepping on it

weekend not from hell.

Woo! I love that scoot scoot. I'm pretty sure that riding around without helmets isn't safe and I shouldn't do it but I mean .... I guess if I die it will be doing something I love.

Tyler sketched my hand at church and I like it so I just wanted to show you all what he can do. Hands are hard though he says. If you click on his blog link to the right you will see his real work. He got an internship with disney you guys! And he is only a soph. Basically that never happens so I just wanted to give a shout out. Someday he is going to be the guy who makes something like Toy Story!! Yesss...

Ha but with my scarf and glasses yesterday some young men started calling me Harry. I got to thinking how depressing that Harry Potter books are done. I mean there are no more to read! No more to go wait at midnight for...i guess there are still the movies but I hardly like the movies ten percent as much as the books! Maybe I'll re-read them... but not til I finish reading my other books i've been a slacker about. Ahem. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. The Host. Etc. Cough.

last night, i viewed an old tv show that i have never heard of before but it was great! it's called ALF, which is an acronym for alien life form. they just called him that but his real name was gordon shumway. ALF was the sole survivor of the doomed planet Melmac, who crash-landed on Earth and moved in with the suburban 80's era Tanner family. (they all have style). Interesting tidbit? this show ran around the same time Full House ran and they were also the Tanner family. a look at the tanner family now:

food for thought:

:breaking dawn comes out in 2 months can you say launch party?

:brother graduates tomorrow

:i want my apple dip out of rico the t.r. right now

:court i love the ting tings thank you so much for the recommendation ali yours were great too. cam those aren't so much my thing or i already have them but you knew that so ... as for the rest of you- thanks for nothing! (there is still time and that non-thanks can be deleted when you deserve it)

:the church of jesus christ of latter day saints is true and if you don't know just ask the guy upstairs and try it for yourself.

:i need to get my car scratches fixed and i keep forgetting so maybe blogging it will help remind me

TRIVIA for the day. (281) 330-8004 -what is this? winner gets my affection.

I was going to do something else involving personal ads on my blog today, so I googled them and found some classic ones. So the other idea can wait. These people are serious! I may or may not have found my own pictures on google images.

I'm a single atheist white man, 54, reputedly intelligent, with unusual interests in politics, science, music and dance.
I'd like to meet a woman with varied interests, curious about the world, comfortable expressing her likes and dislikes (I hate struggling to guess), delighting in her ability to fascinate a man and in being loved tenderly, who values joy, truth, beauty and justice more than "success"--so we can share bouts of intense, passionately kind awareness of each other, alternating with tolerant warmth while we're absorbed in other aspects of life.
My 23-year-old child, the Free Software Movement, occupies most of my life, leaving no room for more children, but I still have room to love a sweetheart if she doesn't need to spend time with me every day. I spend a lot of my time traveling to give speeches, often to Europe, Asia and Latin America; it would be nice if you were free to travel with me some of the time.
If you are interested, write to me and we'll see where it leads.

FROM CRAIGS LIST:
I don't kick puppies!
Abstract.Date me.
Introduction.Hi, my name is __________.
Appearance.I am about 6 feet tall (although I was recently made aware that I might only be 5'11 and a half). I have blonde hair, and my eyes are either blue or grey.
I weigh approximately 175 pounds (subject to g = 9.8 m/ss), and am neither a dragon nor a pinata.
Personality and Stuff.I am a computer nerd with interests in art, philosophy, music, and world domination.
I am good at the things I do, and always try to make myself better. I am curious, intelligent, and like ice cream. Especially coffee ice-cream.
Things I Do and Don't.Sometimes I read. Sometimes I draw. Sometimes I practice beating people up. And sometimes I play board games. Lately, I've been learning to ballroom dance. (Along with every other guy in the Bay Area).
I don't drink or smoke. Smoking is icky, and drinking always feels like cheating. Unless it's yummy, in which case I will occasionally ask you to let me have a taste. Also, I don't kick puppies.
Hypothesis.You want me.
Experiment.
Materials.I am attracted to all sorts of girls, and prefer intelligence and sense of humor over bust size. I want someone who is confident about the stuff she knows, and interested in the things she doesn't. You should like words, science, and video games. But you shouldn't be ugly either. Or male. Or a zombie dragon, powerful in life, unstoppable in death.
Procedure.Things We Can Do Together.We can go sailing, or hiking, or play tennis. Or you can tell me about some really good play/band/stripper which we go see. Or we can just meet up for coffee. Or better yet, coffee ice-cream.
Conclusion.Stick figures are fun. You should email me. I like ice-cream.

I call this one "Desperately seeking green card." but you decide.

hi, how are you? As for myself, how to say? I like smile and occasionally laugh, as my name tell you. I love nature and I am natural. I like tavelling, climbing and jogging outdoors. I like reading prose and fairy tale. Do you like "The lion king"?If you do, we can share a lot. Sometimes I am motivated, but occasionally I am so lazy. Ok, that's me.
I have been waiting and lookng for the person in my life. I wish we can love each other, appreciate each other, encourage and support each other in difficulties. Anyway we can enjoy many things together, but we can give freedom to each other. I wish he is kind, which is most important, not only to me, to friends, but to all people and to the world. I wish he has passion for his work, his life and love them. If course it is better that he like sports, travelling, "the Lion King", so that we can enjoy together. Also he'd better not too cool. He like smile as much as me. Where is he and when he will come? foI wish he is kind, healthy, considerate and with kid heart. It is better to like sports and travelling.

the most short and sweet ad i've ever read...

My tern off has to be vidio games. i like them but if you spend more than an hour or two with the playstation a day don't call me. I want a relation ship not a child.

boys can you say yes please?

I like driving around with my two cats, especially on the freeway. I make them wear little hats so that I can use the carpool lane. Way too much time on your hands too? Call me. SWF, 42, 5'10", brown/blue.

forgot my phone and other disinteresting tidbits.

1. where should i live in the fall??? stressssss.


2. i want to see a million movies that are not out yet which is taking a toll on my sense of contentment. kung fu panda (jack black), zohan (adam sandler), the love guru (mike meyers), get smart (steve carell), & stepbrothers (will ferrell), to name a few. basically all of my favorite geniuses. er...comedians.
