Marriage

Marriages are never easy. So you can understand when I was a little uneasy when I first heard about this marriage. It's hard when you bring a new person into your life - trying to get them to understand your lifestyle and thinking. We can hope that it will work out. And when it does, it's amazing! But when it doesn't, it can get ugly real quick..

so here's my toast to you: Best of Luck to you....













New England Patriots! I hope it all works out with Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochocinco!

Uh Oh!

Things you never want a hole in:

- your pants
- your raft/boat/ship
- your tooth

yup I woke up to find some sort of hole/chip on the side of my maxillary first molar. Now I have to go to the dentist. Maybe I shouldn't have cancelled my appointment from a few months ago...

but then again.. now I can get my grillz for real!!

Shallow Thoughts

This is not as deep as Calvin's thoughts.. but I was just at a potluck, and at the end there were two diet pepsi and two diet coke opened, all about 80% full. Why do people do that?!

Now I'm stuck with 4 diet sodas, and I have to drink them all within 48 hours before they all go flat. Look before you open a new one people!

Deep Thoughts

When I was a kid, I liked talking to random people who would come into my dad's restaurant. We'd talk for what seemed like forever, but was more likely a few minutes. Today, I tried doing the same with some young kids at the park. They must have been deep introverts because they ran away from me as I approached them.

Deep Thoughts

Whenever we someone talks about fears, they talk about the acute stress response, or more commonly known as the fight-or-flight response. But what if I fear flying?

Deep Thoughts

If 30's the new 20, does that make 20 the new 10's? If so, that means I will be cutting my bowl haircut before my wedding prom.

where's calvin?

We think we lost Calvin. We think we left him either at the mall or at the zoo. Our hope was that we could easily spot him because of his attire, but unfortunately there were too many hipsters around and it was free argyle sweater day at the mall. We had no luck at the zoo either because of all the zebras roaming the area.

If anyone has info on his location, please post in our comments. We hope we find him soon, or else we'll be stuck with really bad photoshop jobs.

Team USA Strikes Back!

The Women's World Cup is surprisingly interesting this year. I still have goosebumps after watching the replay of the game tying goal against Brazil in the quarterfinals. After a win against France yesterday, the US has a date with Japan in the World Cup Finals. I haven't been this excited about women kicking balls since 1999. I actually don't know very much about the team this year, but I did some research on the Internet and here's what I came up with:

The star goalie, Hope Solo, daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia, was named after the first movie her father starred in. Hope is actually her middle name, she has since dropped her birth name, Anew. She is the first Jedi to be named on the US Woman's National Team since Mia Hammwalker.

Forward Abby "Flying" Wambach, known for her offensive prowess, prefers using her head instead of her feet to score goals, in order to preserve her great feet. She sometimes is referred to as "Wambacca" by her teammates, especially in her wookiee season. She is best friends with Hope Solo and they spend their vacation days smuggling heroes through Imperial blockades.

The Internet is so full of reliable and useful information, who needs encyclopedias? Go USA Go!

Home Run Derby

I was actually entertained by the home run derby last night. The home run derby has always been one of my favorite all-star events. But it hasn't been as entertaining for a while. However within the last few years, it's become entertaining again. I really like how technology has become such a big part of the home run derby. Some of my favorite parts are the ball tracker chart and the super slow-mo of their swings. So why not take it to another level with the technology... wouldn't it be cool to have a video camera on the ball!? To see a ball crushed from the ball's point of view would be awesome! I'm sure with our technology now it can absolutely be done. So instead of seeing the ball fly at you, you can see this up close....

why i am doomed with acne

I have pimples on my face. There are many steps I could take to prevent them such as washing my face everyday, using Biore strips, or shedding my face. However, there are some things that are just out of my control that contribute to my occasional acne problem.

1.) I scratch my head a lot.
After a full day of running around at work and writing blog posts, my hair can get pretty oily (almost to the point where it could be used as a light gel). Frequently, putting my fingers into my hair turn them into weapons of uncleanliness against my not-so-smooth face. Since my favorite activities are thinking (putting my hands on my chin), daydreaming (putting my fist against each cheek), and pretending to be Macaulay Culkin (Ahhhhh!!!), these oils tend to distribute on my face. But I have no plans to stop scratching my head, so oh well.

2.) My friends are ridiculous.
I have friends that say very funny things. Sometimes they say ridiculously stupid things that are so bad that it's good. It's so absurd that I have no choice but to react not with words, but with a silent gesture: the face palm (or do the Gordon Ramsay eye rub). If you combine reason 1 above with the fact that I work with Calvin on the blog everyday, it should not come to any surprise that my skin is not CoverGirl material. But I have no plans to stop writing a blog with Calvin, so oh well.

I suppose I could have better skin if I shaved my head and lived on an island, but I prefer things just the way they are.

All-nighters

When I was in college, I stayed up all night quite often. It was mostly because a paper was due or a project needed to be finished up. But I often reached the point where I had to make the decision of whether to go to sleep for less than 3 hours (not a full R.E.M. cycle) or stay up the entire day and crash come nightfall. Much of this depended on if the sun was coming up. If sunlight was peeking, then it was pretty much a waste to try to sleep and if birds were chirping, forget it. This is why it is so necessary for us to blow up the sun. It won't be easy...but, who's comin' with me?

The cake is a lie

Why do Chinese people like taking pictures of cake? You'll have to excuse my broad stroke here, but it seems quite true. What is so enticing about 100 shots of a cake, followed by 50 shots of the cake cutting? Many of you know what I'm talking about. Some of you don't. Most likely because you've never been to a birthday celebration with primarily chinese people.

Not only do we take all those shots, we will post every one facebook. Give it enough time and Google+ will be flooded with gratuitous cake shots as well. Don't believe me? Here: Next time you are celebrating a birthday with your chinese friends, observe the behavior (you have to put down the camera first). Try to stop people from taking pictures of it and you will probably be killed. Seriously.

Say hi for me

Have you ever been on the phone and someone next to you says "tell them I said hi"? This is what I call the awkward "tell them I said hi", because it leads to this exchange:

Joe: Tell them I said hi.
Me: Joe says hi....
Moe: hi
Me: Moe says hi.... *awkward silence*

Although that's awkward, it's not as bad as the evil twin of awkward "tell them I said hi", I call it I'm too lazy to talk to them so you "tell them I said hi".

Here's the scenario:
You tell someone you are meeting so and so, and that someone will ask you to "tell them I said hi". I don't understand why I'm obligated to do this. If you really care, you'd go say hi yourself. And what am I supposed to do if so and so says "tell them I said I hi back"? Am I supposed to be the messenger for you? We live in a world with instant messages, text message and something called phone call (I know it's something foreign to us now); how did I become your carrier pigeon? Folks, don't fall into that trap! There is only one way to prevent this... I don't tell them you said hi. Take that, bad friend!

Happy independence from blogging day!

excuses over time

The evolution of excuses for not doing work:

Infant - I'm just a baby.
6th grade - The dog ate my paper.
10th grade - The power went out while I was writing my paper.
College - I had to write 3 papers for my other classes.
Adult - I was struck by lightning.
