MEMOIRS OF A SCOOTER

2009-01-22T10:32:00.004-07:00

So i was thinking today how much i love my scooter, and how deaply sadden and down trodden i will be the day it really dies on me, we have been great friends.

So in an early rememberance of our dear friend THOR i have decided to commemorate the fond memories we have created in the sunny skies of dixie to the mountainous terrain of the county of weber.

The year was 2005, what a great year, the year of the wood rooster. It was summer time, and I was enjoying the great weather and the cloudless skies. A few days prior to this event i had got a new Cd from my friends in Salt Lake, All-time Quarterback (a band made from members of Death Cab For Cutie), and i loved the music so i got my cd discman (a precursor to the ipod for those not of that era)...(ps it was only 3 1/2 years ago i was just retarded and didn't have an ipod yet, darn me) and i put in my cd and i drove to work and well the best thing happened, work told me to go across town to drop off a money dilly, i never really got caught up in what i was doing for them, i just knew dont loose it and go straight to the bank... done deal. So as i left and everyone was laughing at me at work due to my stature on the little THOR beast as i jumped it off the curb, sorry dad yes i jumped it... alot... and flew off in the distance at an incredible 28 miles an hour, on a 40 MPH road... well i was rockin the beats and loving it, stareing up at the blue sky, the black and red rocks, the honking cars and i came across the red hill and made my descent on to st. george blvd i crossed the road listening to the sweet harmonies and got to the teller and saw an old friend, we chit chatted and i sped off and got to the new road that goes up the red hill by la policia and i was like "wow this cd rocks, but it has like the same beat for every song... in fact i think there is only a couple of songs on the cd... no there are like 10..." so i took out the old discman and checked it out... upon my gathering i noticed i had hit the repeat button.... so this entire ride i rode listening for well over 30 minutes to the same song and never realized it.

two things to be learned...

1- i am a retard on a scooter, i had no idea i was singing the same song while i was driving a motorized vehicle and probably cut cars off while i sang

2- i love my scooter and sunny weather that much that nothing mattered to me on that ride other than heat, sun, blue, and song

I HEART THOR.

SNOW BOCCE

2009-01-22T10:26:00.003-07:00

Bocce Snow king of the day... king of the day is when you get your bocce ball touching the cue ball, quite a event, especially in snow. hooray for Tim

Stevie showing off her skills... Skinny pants + golloshes = frozen body
but she was a champ and stuck it out

The wide world of sports just got wider, so i might be in love with the sport of Bocce, its an event that takes place everytime we go to st. george, well some of our comrades have ventured up yonder to our frozen tundra and now we started the Northern Utah Bocce Association, its great and i must admit i couldn't be happier with our results thus far, we have a tournement in a couple of days in logan. Snow or not its going to be grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

GEEKS ON ICE

2009-01-11T11:22:00.002-07:00

So this is what happened.
weber state has gotten glazed over with snow and ice.
well i have been saying that people drive stupid on the snow, and i sorta became cocky i guess and i would walk much faster than i should because i don't slip. well one day i had just gone to the bookstore to see how much my books were and to also see if people we looking for the books i had last semester so i could sell them cheaper then they would buy and i started to walk to my car which is on the top parking lot. and well i was ya know listening to my ipod and walking right in the middle of the campus where weber's bell tower is. well that day i had my dress pants on and some church shoes that are not to much for traction. well before i knew it my right foot slips out and being from st. george (not known for its ice or snow or cold and the ability to walk on them) i try to put on foot down as soon as possible or get my left foot under me, well i pretty much put all my weight on my left to get control and the next thing i knew was my left and right leg are getting above my head and i hit before i knew what happened and i was just like "what just happened?" and i get up look around and no one is there cause i was super embarrased and i got up and realized that i would have paid money to see what happened. needles to say i walk like a grandma everywhere i go, shuffle steps and everything, i totally look like a geek but there is no way i will do that again.
i hate ice

HARRY POTTER

2009-01-11T10:57:00.003-07:00

So recently stevie might say i have had an obession... well thats what she would say
The last week of school a girl in my math class had all the books on her itunes and
so naturally i downloaded them all onto my ipod with the exception of the 7th because
it wasn't on. So it was like a dream cause everywhere i could go i could listen to harry
potter... however i think this was worse then listening to music my first winter at bus
stops and would dance because now i would be walking and i would here something
that i liked or was funny and i would bust up laughing or smile and i would have to cover
it up cause people would totally stare... i have a problem with entering another world
when i have my ipod on and harry potter which made it worse. but the last book i read
and holy crap it is so good again, i just finished it a couple of days ago. this really is such a good series on so many levels for
myself.
1. it got me to read a book
2. it was very unique
3. stevie liked it with me so we could watch them or read them together

this time around was good because i never read the first book i only "had to listen to it"
with my parent on the way to our cabin my sophmore year and i had to do a book report and i never read a book and i figure hey i listened to most of it so i read the last chapters and it
hooked me and i became a harry potter geek from then on.

MMMM CHINESE FOOD

2009-01-11T10:52:00.002-07:00

Lately i have been craving chinese food, you would think i am prego or something.
It started when we went to PF Changs with friends of ours and then a buffett that
was awesome! I could have stayed there all night but stevie doesn't have the eating
ability that i possess, its a talent i would say... but then we went to another restaurant
where my friend works and she hooked us up. This would be a dream right now to have
all this food right now

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

2009-01-11T10:47:00.003-07:00

This year was fun for us because we are poor. so what we did to have a fun christmas was try to decorate out little house. We also set a spending limit of 25 dollars for our presents, it actually made it fun because we really had to look hard for something good. we were terrible though and did our christmas shopping like 2 days before but it was way fun.

We spent christmas eve and day with stevie's family which was pretty fun.

ISN'T IT OCTOBER... NOT JANUARY STUPID MOTHER NATURE

2008-10-15T10:24:00.006-06:00

So this is what we woke up to last sunday... what did you wake up to, oh probably blue skies right souther utah, lame-o's.
Well i was not so ready for this snow and when i saw it i was like, what the crap yo, its october i wanna party with the colors not hermit myself up cause of boring old white... you know every year i spend up here i think i might just hate the color white even more.

So stevie and i were talking about halloween and this stupid thing called snow and i was like "what the crap homes, i didn't snow exsisted until december or january." and S-dawg was like "yo g funk, i used to trick or treat in 4 feet of snow up hills both ways..." i mean she was like "yo thug halloween usually meant dressing up in wiggity wack sweetness costumes and then covering up because it snowed, or was snowing..." are you kidding me? i used to sweat in st. george because i was usually rollerbladding from old peoples house to rock the candy and then it occured to me... if i was up here for trick or treating i could not dress up like a TMNT!f

Dude imagine me Rolling like this dude, his face even shows how happy he is, wanna know why... no snow for this TMNT.
ps if you can find this costume i really want it
pss really bad

MY DREAM CAR

2008-09-25T10:53:00.008-06:00

I LOVE THIS BUS SO MUCH, A 1968 IS GREAT BUT I WOULD KILL FOR... WELL MAYBE HURT SOMEONE REAL GOOD... FOR A 1971 TWO TONE YELLOW ON THE BOTTOM AND WHITE ON THE TOP.. OH WAIT ITS ON EBAY, AND THAT STUPID WANTS LIKE 12 GRAND RETARDO ITS NOT IN GREAT CONDITION DROP IT TO 5 AND I WILL WALK THERE.

LOOK HOW PRETTY THAT IS... NOW JUST IMAGINE ME IN THAT CAR

DONT I LOOK GOOD

THEY LET ME STOP BY FOR SOME GLAMOUR SHOTS WE BECAME FRIENDS, WE WENT FOR A DIP LATER THAT AFTERNOON IN THE LAKE

THIS IS ANOTHER LOVE IN CALI (HI LOVE)

ONE THIS CAR JUST ROCKS, SECOND THE FACT THAT SOME DUDE SAT IN THE CAR FOR THE PICTURE MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER, I HOPE HE IS FROM ALABAMA AND WAS LIKE "Well dang ma i best be sittin in that there picture so them compooter folk you talk to on your compooter tink that dis really is a big car, not some micro machine car... should i wear my racoon hat?"

YES GRIZZLY ADAMS GOES TO COLLEGE

2008-08-25T09:29:00.004-06:00

So the beard is back and raging to rule supreme and i have let it do so, we brush it and wash it and sometimes feed it, none of which Stevie likes but, i think the beard can take her... it cuts like diamonds.

I like to say its for the Archery hunt, but since i called sportsmans warehouse a day late i could not get a tag, so we are still debating on the Elk hunt, which i have never done, but i wouldnt mind it at all... so basically the beard is hear for warmth in the next few months as for the hunt... even if i dont get to shoot an elk, i will still support the troops.

oh and its going to make one awesome halloween costume... i am debating if i want to let it known on the world wide web of what i am going to be, cause you never want to go to a party as what someone else is, much less the host... so Ashlynn or Coby you know my costume don't go and grow a beard! cause well i can't stop it, and it will sandpaper your face...

SAVED BY THE BELL ANYONE?

2008-08-25T09:14:00.003-06:00

Well there is no Zach or Kelly but there is a bell. Well this semester should be fun, i have Human Physiology, Trig, Pharmacology, and some health class, and a two hour long lab with the cadavers i think, i am pretty sure though and thats going to be way cool. Well not much has happened to us lately, we are just hanging out and keepin it real with the hommies around us... having to tell our latino neighbors that its not okay to have your bass shaking our pictures at 8 am on a sunday... or pretty much any day, unless of course its vanilla ice or sir mix alot and then we can all shake our rump, but if it is just Julio De Maria Juares De San Fransico then it is not ok....

Southern Utah Bocce Open Classic

2008-08-09T18:02:00.003-06:00

It was a furious night of Bocce as Stevie, Adam Del Toro and I played a great game of bocce. It began pretty intense as an old rivarly between Adam and myself was reignited...

To bad for these two suckas that they were facing me a legend in the sport

Stevie, Me, and Adam after a great match

2 YEARS BOO YA SUCKAS

2008-07-23T13:32:00.003-06:00

Dang we look good

So monday was our 2 year anniversery and time is flying, but i guess that is easy when you have an awesome wife like stevie who likes all the same stuff i do and is very calm but is the brains of this whole shin dig. I sure do love her. we just took the day easy, it was just really nice we took Gryffindor to a dog park and let him run his butt off, and it was super hot and we got hot from chasing him so we went home and dropped him off and went to Tepenakis??? its a chinese place that cooks right in front of you and it was way good. then we came home and crashed.

FLY HIGH GRYFFINDOR

2008-07-22T14:23:00.004-06:00

This is more Gryffindor, we found out he really loves to chase this chew toy and its way funny, sometimes he runs to it and forgets to grab it and runs back super excited.

Gryffindor is the funniest dog, he thinks he always has to be next to us, regardless

MEET SEBASTIAN

2008-07-22T14:05:00.003-06:00

Sebastian is our carnivorous plant, if you look closely you can see some dead bugs on it, they are like gnat size, but still it thirsts for blood. G'mork

It was either going to be Sebastian, Falcor, or G'mork but Falcor was just to good (and falcor looks like Gryffindor and grif does not thirst for blood) and G'mork but then i thought this plant is not going to hide in Spook City and try to kill me, just defend me thus SEBASTIAN

CALIFORNIA

2008-07-13T18:33:00.016-06:00

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR CAR WHEN YOU MEET ME IN THE STREETS...

Well not really but when we got off the plane we had a rent a car place come and get us, and the guy taking us was funny he was sorta flying around everywhere like everyone there. well we get to the ghetto and look at the car we are going to be in for the next few days and its blocked by a big moving van so we get out and that guy was like oh we just move these and leave. well he totally just zoomed out, yes zoomed that how they drive there, and made a big swinging turn into the driveway and totally cut a lady off and pretty much got t-boned and they pushed each other for like 50 feet and stopped. we ran up and they both were fine but he broke his nose and it was crazy. that started our trip.

Getty Muesum

2008-07-13T18:33:00.012-06:00

The Getty Muesum was super awesome, its free and its a bunch of collections
of art that John Paul Getty collected which included some Monet, Van Gogh, Manet and tons of other stuff

All the building were super cool like this and huge!

i think that this was called the confused man, i just thought he was cool and looked like me. Siiike
we were later told "No Flash Sir"

I cant remember the name, but it looks like the constaption face Stevie and her sister pulled it off great

We were beat tired afterwards and fell asleep on their nice bermuda grass

stevie and her family

CALIFORNIA

2008-07-13T18:33:00.008-06:00

Stevie's parents flew us all out to california to go see the play wicked and to just have fun. we definitly did, but this beach was bad, we all got fried, my shoulders blistered up and it was pretty bad.

Hal, Kjerstin, Jon, Lauren, Taylor, Heidi, Stevie, Derek

one WICKED night

2008-07-13T18:33:00.003-06:00

Me and Stevie infront of the theater in hollywood for the night of wicked

I am amazed i was super nervous about this play, i have heard the songs and they are funny but i have never really been to a play like this in my life so i didn't want to be a jerk and fall asleep or just not like it, but i loved it, we had such a good time. We went with Stevie's family, they bought us all tickets to the play and to california. It was such a funny play i laughed so many times, it was really good. it was like a dream come true for Stevie and all the girls in her family, they have heard the sountrack forever and finally got to see it.

DOE, A DEER, I ALMOST HIT A DEER....

2008-06-23T14:28:00.003-06:00

ON MY SCOOTER!!! HAHAHA
It was running next to this fence and i think the roar of THOR scared him and he wouldn't cross the road and when i stopped at the four way stop like a mile down the road he finally crossed, yes it was a mile cause i didn't want to be late, and honestly i was laughing cause i would rev it up and he would go crazy, good thing he wasn't a buck, i would have been gored or had a new hood display on the scooter, i think antlers and a cadillac sign would go hand in hand right?

REAL SALT LAKE IS THE PLACE FOR ME

2008-06-23T14:19:00.003-06:00

This weekend was fun we went up to Honeyville for stevies mom's mom's side of the family... hope you got that... it was fun we got to see her cousins and they all loved gryffindor. we then went to the RSL game which they won and it was awesome, we had good seats thanks to stevies sister, we saw the first goal really good, Kenny Deuchar their new scottish or irish striker put a header in, he missed one like 2 minutes earlier it was awesome.

Apparantly this is a Derek smile or face according to stevie's family

MEET GRYFFINDOR

2008-06-20T14:10:00.002-06:00

This is Gryffindor

we got him at the pound almost a week ago, he is 4 years old and really well behaved. We are loving him, and we hope he gets used to us.

ps he could be quite possible the best dog in the world for stevie because he will wake up with us at 6 when i get ready for work or school and then take him to go pee and then him and stevie fall asleep on the couch... lazy bones

peace hommes

BEHOLD THOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-18T16:29:00.004-06:00

PEACE THUGS

WHY I LOVE O-TOWN

2008-06-18T16:16:00.005-06:00

SORRY long time no blog???? well here i sit in the computer center at weber in the summer as i ponder on why i really do like gangsta's paradise... i have my little red scoot back THOR, it fits him well... and i get to see the coolest things ever! For example while riding THOR home i witnessed the most awesome thing ever, its better than hammer pants... i dont know how to even start let me paint you a visual image... cruisin for a bruisin on THOR on a small side street listening to Minus the Bear sorta swaying back and forth singing probably really loud (THOR's really loud after his muffler and exaust pipe came loose, don't worry dad i fixed it, but really THOR is a viking god and needs to scream so i might have let it come unloose again.. whoopsie) and i look at the trees and i see this dude on a wheel chair cruisin pretty fast for a non electric and i think... wow he's moving fast for not having an electric and i drive by and see that he is holding on to another person from behind that is cruisin on a rascal

i couldn't help myself but laugh so hard and swerve like dumb and dumber i couldn't believe it, oh how i wish i was dorkier and had a camera mounted to my helmet to record random things...

PEACE THUGS

D-BONE

i am D-bone now

NO MORE SOCCER

2008-06-13T21:12:00.001-06:00

TODAY I STRAINED MY LEFT HAMSTRING MUSCLE, JUST ABOUT A YEAR TO THE DAY THAT I STRAINED MY RIGHT HAMSTRING. THIS SUCKS

WARREN G

2008-04-25T10:24:00.003-06:00

So i am in the lab right now getting my summer and fall set up and Warren G came on and i decided that he is the only rapper i like, well basically just Regulators.

"Regulators mount up, it was a clear black night, a clear white moon..."

IM STARE AT CADAVERS THRICE A WEEK

2008-04-25T10:21:00.003-06:00

So i have been notorious for telling people that i spell death when i am at work or school cause the smell of fermalahyde? gets stuck in my nose. Its okay though cause everyone else in the class says the same thing. anyways i got a 98 on my Human Anatomy Lab Final which sucks though cause if i would have put InterloBUlar rather than interLOBAR in the nephron loop of the kidneys i would have got 100. I am still happy though, but Stevie constantly needs to tell me that these are good grades i always look at them as how i could have been better, it sucks.

SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER

2008-04-25T10:18:00.002-06:00

Well if stevie has not said anything yet, she may say im addicted to soccer, i have been playing in two leagues up here and one week i played in 5 games and then we watched her sister play and RSL so its been soccer fever up here. last night we played our last game against a team we have beat before, but our team has no chemistry so we played like crap but i had a free kick and put it in the top right corner for our first goal it was a perfect shot, it was awesome, and in the next half i had a left footed volley that was going to the top right corner but the keeper barely touched it and it hit the top bar and went out. its been fun.

PS summer games are june 6th & 7th for me and my friends in Cedar town

HOME, WORK, SCHOOL AND PLAY

2008-04-16T08:10:00.002-06:00

Home - so last night the home teachers came and i swear the guy said thursday night so our house was a bit of a mess, just a bit embarrasing.
Work - Work is going the same for me, just really boring, but my new boss is a whole lot better than my old boss. Stevie is still liking working at the Bun Basket the bakery, but she is looking at working with her aunt at a art gallery which would be really cool. yesterday she went to work with her dad and helped him out and is thinking about working there as well, that would be good cause it would give her insurance
School - school is good, my finals are coming up in two weeks but i have a teacher that is giving our final tomorrow.
Play - I have been playing soccer about 2 times a week with some people up here and its been really fun, except my games range fom 5:45 pm to 11:15 pm. this weekend stevie and i watched her little cousins and it was really fun, but tireing, stevie got to their house friday morning and we left the house sunday afternoon. They have 3 kids, an 8 year old, a 5 year old, and a 3 year old. the 5 and 3 are the funnest kids ever, the 8 year old has ADD pills and we forgot to give them to her sat. that day sucked.

REAL SALT LAKE

2008-04-01T08:50:00.002-06:00

REAL SALT LAKE SOCCER IS BACK!

KYLE BECKERMAN

This weekend was so much fun, well this entire week, i played 5 indoor soccer games, watched stevies sister taylor play saturday with stevie's family then we went to the RSL game later that day. It was so much fun! they played soooo good, it was so much better than the season opener last year, they tied but it was a crazy shot by a man i hate, but he is good, but i hate him cause he is super dirty and flops alot.

We will be going much more since the tickets are only 14 bucks a piece.

PEACE LOVE AND SOCCER

IM LEGAL AGAIN!

2008-03-27T08:46:00.003-06:00

So what has happened was i apparantly have not been legal to drive for the last... 5 months. my drivers license was expired since october, but youhave to agree that its lame because i had only gotten the thing in 2006 that would almost make 2 years, they usually last 5 years i believe... so anyways i had to get a new license and i gave them Magnum... needless to say i got many glamour shots by the Drivers License Division babe, her name was Wanda

BOOK OF THE MONTH

2008-03-19T08:18:00.002-06:00

THE COBRA EVENT

This is one of the best books i have ever read, the list does include harry potter so you can decide what that means (for me that is good), but this is a book about the things i like. its a book about a terrorist (dont like) who releases a biological weapon in the states and its is sorta like a mystery a sorta style of dan brown. i read this back in my senior year, and i am going to read it again. however this book might make you pee your pants because he bases all his books off of real stories, interviews and things of that matter. this book is so good and real President Bill Clinton made his people read the book and check the book and see if it was fiction or not.

EASTER IS HARE <== GET IT LIKE A RABBIT HARE...

2008-03-18T08:53:00.003-06:00

So during our easter egg hunt it will have nothing of this and holding hands due to the extreme nature of the allen family egg hunt. mostly the faces will be like the one below

pretty much this will be our faces during the hunt, don't grab our eggs
ps you are all going down

SOCCER

2008-03-18T08:51:00.003-06:00

So last night i went and played intramurals soccer and stevie came and watched and i am beat! we won so thats good and we played a man down the entire time, so i think if we would have had a 6th person they would not have scored on us at all.

BIGGEST LOSER

2008-03-18T08:49:00.002-06:00

So i dont know if any of you have watched the biggest loser, but its a program where fat people try to lose weight and its really cool, some have dropped 100 pounds in i think 6-7 weeks from eating good and working out.
Well i think i should be the biggest loser of weber i have lost 23 pounds since we have moved up here, i weighed 240 now i weigh 217. so i am pretty happy about that.

GRIZZLY ADAMS HAS BEEN SORELY MISSED

2008-03-17T08:10:00.008-06:00

So yesterday in church i had to guys come up to me and ask why i shaved... i was mixed with emotions because i was happy they were sad that i shaved and sad that i shaved... the first was when we were getting ready to pass sacrament and he sat down and was like... Derek right? so i gotta know, why did you shave it off? and i started laughing and we talked. the other was after and this guy while we were sitting down was like, your from st. george right? i thought that was you, why did you shave?

Beard will be missed:

November 2007 - February 2008

A dear friend who was there in the coldest times,

brought cheer to everyone around, especially children,

lover of nature and animals. RIP Beard

SPRING BREAK BROKE MY SPIRITS

2008-03-17T08:10:00.002-06:00

So as I woke up this morning and i got to weber i totally forgot what class i had this morning, it was a bit scary because it was dark and i am used to going to class with the sun so i thought i was here to early and i was lost. But i was made happy when i got to campus and there is no snow! best spring break present ever! i was so happy untill the canadian geese started honking at me and wadaling or however you spell that towards me, i got sorta worried cause they bite. then they flew at me and i am not going to lie i froze and made sure they kept on going...

BAND-0-THA-WEEK....

2008-03-15T22:39:00.003-06:00

BEN FOLDS
Even though he has cd's done as solo or with a band his music is amazing... i liked him a bit in high school but my music as the post below says i was a bit into my punk music, but stevie has helped me like his work.

Rockin' the suburbs was probably one of the more popular and has really good tracks on it, i really like Zak and Sara and Annie Waits... just really good music to chill to and wander around

As most of their faces show, its mellow but also pretty up beat at times, this cd was famous for Brick which could also be one of the most popular songs by ben folds and the band, but there are other really good songs on this cd, Kate is stevies fav.

ROCKIN' THE SUBURBS...

2008-03-15T22:34:00.002-06:00

ITS TIME FOR THE CONCERT STEVIE AND I GET TO GO TO ONCE A YEAR... WELL WE MIGHT GO TO A FEW OTHERS BUT THIS IS A FOR SURE. BEN FOLDS IS COMING TO SLC AND WE ARE SUPER EXCITED, ITS A CHANGE FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS OF PUNK ROCK MOSH PITS TO THE STAND AROUND AND ENJOY MUSIC DAYS OF THE "INDIE ROCK" THAT HAS SWOOPED MY LIFE. AND I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT I MEAN BY ALL OF THAT BUT WE ARE EXCITED THATS ALL I KNOW! WOOT WOOT FOR GOOD MUSIC

BEN FOLDS APRIL 23rd HOORAY FOR STEVIE AND READING THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER

SPRING BREAK

2008-03-11T20:18:00.003-06:00

So spring break hasn't been anything very exciting for us, other than just hanging out. I took a test the first day which isn't cool but i had to, and i will probably study math and anatomy for the rest... blah... anyways its warm and i can almost wear sandals which is an warm thing so that makes me happy. peace love and harmony

BARRY SANDERS - BEST RUNNING BACK EVER

2008-03-10T21:41:00.003-06:00

So i am lame and i like to just research stuff on Barry because if you know me well you know i love the lions and loved to watch Barry run a show. so i decided to just say that he was the best running back ever and im sorry but no one will ever do what he has done.

This is by far one of the best movies ever. Just the fact alone that Kurt Russell slaps everyone makes it good.

TV NIGHT AT STEVIES PARENTS

2008-03-06T19:08:00.005-07:00

Tonight stevie and i are at her parents house checking my weber stuff and this and watching lost with her little sister.

THE CUTEST BABY

2008-03-06T19:08:00.002-07:00

Anavey is the cutest girl ever, when we were at my parents house i lifted her up once like this and then i put her down and all she would do is smile and lift her legs up, we were all laughing so hard

she decided that she needed all the snack packs

we were playing guitar hero and all she would do was raise her hands and erica did it and said "YEAY" and for the rest of the night she would smile and keep doing it.
we can't wait to come down for easter

bloody valentine... love stevie

2008-03-06T16:30:00.002-07:00

it is a little late for valentines, but i did go and donate my plasma the other day! i was really kind of nervous ( i don't do the whole blood thing normally, it grosses me out) but it was actually kind of fun. my favorite part was at the very end they put saline into your bloodstream so you don't dehydrate and you can feel the coldness of it seeping into your vein! it was seriously the most awesome feeling ever! Also, they give you money, which is another favorite thing. and, while i was donating i got to sit and read. i thought that it was hilariously ironic because i decided to re-read Twilight. Is there a better place to read a vampire novel than a blood bank?

BY FAR THE FUNNIEST SHIRT EVER.

2008-03-06T09:35:00.002-07:00

that is if you have seen this sketch on snl... and have the same sence of humor as our family

this is their website http://www.bustedtees.com/male

I LOVE THESE SHIRTS!

2008-03-06T09:33:00.002-07:00

So these are all real shirts and i am in the computer lab laughing so hard at some of these.
i would love to get any of these or from their website

I NEED WARM

2008-03-06T08:56:00.002-07:00

I NEED THIS! Notice the blue skies, well in st. george that means warm...

NOT IN OGDEN IT MEANS COLD! It tricks me everyday because i peek out the window see blue and think hmmm shorts... so i wear shorts and get out, and its below freezing...
i need palm trees, green grass, blue skies and my old friend hot

BANDS BANDS BANDS...

2008-03-06T08:45:00.003-07:00

Other than my dads ability to grow a beard i have inherited his taste in music like this man, Garth Brooks... so me and erica were talking and we think this would be the best concert ever, he does have good music but he is so funny on stage he runs around like a mad man. for that he gets to be part of my week of music, and not to mention he tried to start another career as a totally different person (Chris Gaines). Dance on crazy man

REAL SALT LAKE

2008-03-06T08:38:00.002-07:00

So i am really excited for the season to start up, i have looked at season tickets just for the fun of it and for how many home games they have it wouldn't be that bad of a deal and when the new stadium is done those with season tickets get first grabs at the seats there.

MOVIE TIME

2008-03-05T08:14:00.009-07:00

"I think i got the black lung pop *cough cough*"
"that hansel is so hot right now. Hansel"
I love this movie and im sorry stevie cause i sorta make her watch it alot.

BAND OF MY LIFE OR DAY

2008-03-05T08:14:00.006-07:00

The Smiths a great band from the 80's and i feel inspired the sun to come up after the 80's ended, cause i know i was sad.

This cd is amazing and it makes the soul feel good.
Get it. Buy it. Love me.

WE LOVE CHUCK

2008-03-05T08:14:00.003-07:00

Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching a DeltaForce marathon on Satellite TV.
isn't that just great? i love it, it makes me laugh ha ha

WE GOT FOOD!

2008-03-05T08:14:00.002-07:00

So funny story, we have been tight on money with school and stevie looking for a new job and we found gift cards! a little blessing. well they were not much, one to target was 2 dollars but it was nice to go out with stevie to the store and look at stuff and we got some stuff. the next was wal-mart and it was only 12 bucks but it made us go shop cause we haven't so now we have food, and we are happy, we were happy before.

CHUCK TIME

2008-03-04T09:30:00.001-07:00

So its really hard for me to choose the chuck of the week, cause i could do it every day, so i might this week.
Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is
i feel that that is just right.

NO MORE SNOW FOR ME

2008-03-04T09:01:00.002-07:00

Ok so i am really not a winter person at all. this whole snow thing for longer than a day and more than 3 feet is so overrated and i am sick of it, last week i was walking around weber and i totally found cement paths i never knew about, benches and tables to lounge around on... and deer poop, we have deer bedding down on campus! if it was fall i might just put a tree stand up and get some easy hunting in, total joke, i would put a salt like up. i kid i kid... but i really do wanna go shoot my bow though.
LOVE
DEREK

I WILL STEAL THIS TOO

2008-03-04T08:42:00.001-07:00

the thankful dealy
ok lets start now.
- i am thankful for stevie and how on top of our lives she is (cause we all know i am sorta laid back)
- I am thankful for my work and being able to just transfer up here, to bad i would really like to leave and get a job at a physical therapy place. big pay cut though
- I am thankful for my classes even though math has been really hard for me with the hard test my teacher gives and the fact she doesn't understand trig either (im not lying she gets stuck for 5-10 minutes staring at the board)
- Human anatomy, i love this class i love the body so much now, which makes me love mine even more haha
- The gospel and prayer its been good, i like it
- stevie's family for making us dinner alot lately
- my own family too duh, we are going down soon and its going to be fun
the end

SOCCER

2008-03-04T08:38:00.003-07:00

So last night i played some indoor soccer at Weber with the intramurals or however you spell that and it was fun, our team is ok i guess, its just a bunch of people like me who don't have a ton of friends up here and just want to play, so you get kids that just want to do something if that means something they dont know how to do. but we played against some kids against saudia arabia and i think we could have beat them but we would make stupid mistakes, but its ok cause we won by them not having enough girls woot woot for that other gender. I also should be starting up in a new indoor team up on 12th street in ogden, i should get a call this week, i could be on a house team (loners) cause i just signed up, or a all guys team, or a co-ed team, so it should be interesting

ROBYN HOOD - BAND OF THE DAY

2008-03-04T08:09:00.002-07:00

And when i say robyn hood i mean that i am stealing this from erica
so for those who don't know our family got access to about 70,000 songs which are full albums and i was able to get stuff i had loved but couldn't buy, or stuff i sorta like and didn't want to buy, and then things my sisters or parents listened to but was not sure if i liked them. Well the lemonheads was one of the later.
The lemonheads have been great for me thus far and i do recommend them very much. some funny lyrics to a funny song: "if i was your body would you still wear clothes. If i was a booger would you blow your nose or would you keep it or eat it im just trying to give myself a reason for being around... If i was a dance floor would you shake your thang?"
I hope you all shake your thang to the lemonheads

I GUESS I LOOK LIKE MY DAD?

2008-02-29T23:07:00.007-07:00

DEREK IS A DORK

2008-02-29T23:07:00.003-07:00

we were going over the ear and eye today and i love it! the ear is was cool, and the eye is amazing, there is a spot on the back of the eye called the optic disc which is dense with neurons i believe or ganglions either way YOU do this! get a paper put an + and a thick dot about 2 inches apart and close the right eye and look at the cross with the dot on the left side of it and bring it in and out and at one point the dot will disappear. that is because the light that is entering goes strait to that site and there are no receptors like your cones that are color receptors and accurate vision and rods are night vision (black and white) and the brain will actually generate an image which in this case is more white paper, so your brain is basically making something up.... Darwinism schmarinsim who needs darwinism

I GOT MY MIND ON MY MONEY AND MUSCLES ON MY MIND

2008-02-29T23:07:00.002-07:00

So i have just realized that i am up way late and i am not studying... and that because i just got down with an online quiz for my nutritions class... anyways i also realized that i am a total geek cause i dream about my human anatomy terms and what not, lets just pray i dont dream about the cadavers. but i walk around saying the muscles, or cranial nerves in my mind, and aloud cause some are really cool to say like vestibulocochlear or supraspinatus, i dont have a favorite yet, but i am still amazed how awesome the body is and how intricite (give me an anatomy word and i have it, normal language no sirrey) it is.

MIDTERMS

2008-02-29T21:59:00.002-07:00

Well so that anatomy lab that i had actually got bumped up to a 91.5 because our lab assistant wrote the wrong answer down and i had the right muscle, so i am cool. i had another midterm for my prevention and care class and i got a 90 on it, which i am feeling better about now because i have talked to others and they scored lower than me.

BIOLIFE

2008-02-28T12:49:00.003-07:00

So today i think stevie is going to biolife to start donating plasma and saturday when i have time i will go and get signed up and then make it a weekly thing so we can eat.
peace love and harmony

actually, i (stevie) just called and they are booked until tuesday. sorry. no food for you... haha! just kidding. you can have a cookie... just kidding. i will feed you. i promise!!

LONG TIME NO POST

2008-02-28T12:43:00.002-07:00

So sorry to our dear readers but we are just to busy lately to post. school has become real crazy with midterms. Today i have to take a prevention and care midterm, the tricky part is that we haven't had a test yet so i am kinda worried if i am studying enough or not. i had a midterm for my anatomy lab and got 89.5 on it because i am retarded and mispelled a few parts of the body, example, xiphoid and xiloid... i wrote xiphoid at first then put xiloid, its the little process at the end of your sternum. and i also didn't get a good look at our cadaver and labeled the wrong muscle on the leg, i thought it was a posterior muscle but they tricked me by having a label on a muscle that begins at the outside of the leg and then moves toward the knee... it was the vastus lateralis not the muscle i put... so i was a little mad at myself. well i need to go to work now i get to see blue sky now though and i walk on mushy grass so i am happy.

BRIAN HEAD

2008-02-17T08:30:00.002-07:00

Saturday we went snowmobiling with my dad, sister erica and my nephew taylor. it was stevies first time on the snowmobile and i might have ruined it for her early as we went up a big hill about 60mph and hit a nice little bump (jump) within the first 5 minutes. whoops

ME, STEVIE, MY DAD, ERICA, TAYLOR

I WAS REALLY TIRED

love stevie...

2008-02-15T16:03:00.004-07:00

This is officially my first post, so I hope I do it right! I thought that I would write because I finally have something to say! After searching long and hard, I have fould a job! It is pretty much the coolest job, I am sure. I am a cookie decorator for this cute little bakery called the Bun Basket! I go in at like 7 a.m. and cut out and decorate cookies, then help customers and whatever else needs to be done (i.e. dishes...) It is really fun, and I work with the cutest bunch of girls! It is great because I get to eat lunch there for free (woot woot!) and they have the best made-from-scratch soups and stuffed breadsticks! mmmmboy! and, they turned out to be a great valentine's Day present for the cutest boy/best husband in the whole world, Derek! boy, do I love you!

WINTER IN WEBER COUNTRY

2008-02-14T08:30:00.007-07:00

this is the duck pond which i am terrified of cause it has like 12 swans who come at me everytime i am by it and when i walk fast they honk and look at me and move... i never did anything to them.

these are the steps i take to go the my anatomy class and the stadium is that big building

So now you can see what its like to go to school at weber... its snowy...

OLD PICTURES

2008-02-14T08:30:00.006-07:00

SO I JUST FOUND THESE AND CHECK MY SWEET "DO" OUT AND I REALLY MISS THAT SHIRT... I MIGHT STILL HAVE IT

OUR FIRST MARRIED NEW YEARS EVE WITH STEVIES BROTHER AND HIS WIFE, THEY GOT MARRIED ALMOST ONE MONTH EXACTLY AFTER US.

REMEMBER THIS?

2008-02-14T08:30:00.005-07:00

look how cute she is, i sure do love her

who said snorkels are not cool... thats my hawaiian power move

thats me with my hand over the sun, mom and dad would get mad if i would put "here comes the sun" by The Beatles on the ipod house thingy every morning we saw the sun come up

i miss hawaii, it was fun

STRIKE THIS!

2008-02-14T08:30:00.004-07:00

THIS IS LITERALLY THE REASON WE NEVER HAD WRITER STRIKES BACK IN THE DAYS... WE NEED CHUCK!

AND FROM WHAT I HEAR I AM GOING TO GET A LITTLE MORE DWIGHT IN MY LIFE... THANK GOODNESS, THURSDAYS IS THE NIGHT STEVIE AND I WATCH TV

WEBER UNDER CONSTRUCTION

2008-02-14T08:30:00.001-07:00

So this is what has been going on since i got here, and i really dont know what is going to go there, but all i know is its big and there is another building being built too.

SOCCER, GRASS, SUMMER

2008-02-14T08:30:00.000-07:00

so looking at this picture i think there was a weight limit and they called me to make the mark... we lost to this byu team who sorta allowed another person to play who didn't play all week... we got screwed when it came down to us going 3 on 4 due to a stupid red card.

i swear that shirt was 2 sizes to small... good news i lost all that weight

So this whole winter thing is nice but i have really realized that i am a southern boy who needs grass (stevie knows my love for a good house with a great yard(one thing i will have is an awesome yard)) i need summer weather and that means 105+ cause 5+ is not cool (no pun intended) and i really miss soccer a whole lot, but i have sorta given that away with the recent hamstring strains i have been getting which always occur as i sprint, so yeah. But on the upside i do get to throw snowballs and make snowforts!

FRIDAY COME FAST!

2008-02-13T18:31:00.001-07:00

So two days till st. george and i cant wait for the warm weather! we need it bad. i am sick of snow i saw grass today and i was sooo happy. Its really interesting cause i dont know what anything in ogden looks like cause i have never really been here before and well when there is no snow it will be wierd.

NEW ADDICTIONS

2008-02-13T18:29:00.003-07:00

So Stevie and I were watching some tv last night at her parents and Big Brother came on and we have never watched it so we thought we would a little and its horrible! they made it to be a couples thing and they have to sleep in beds together with people they have never met... one couple was actually a ex-boyfriend and girlfriend who dated for 8 years and broke up when he cheated... interesting... anyways we also like lost now, prison break which needs to come out on dvd real soon and Eli Stone... wierd we know...

CRAZY STORM

2008-02-13T18:26:00.003-07:00

Okay so i am sitting at the computer center at weber waiting for some guy to come and work on a debate we have to do for a prevention and care class for athletic training. well today was a total freak storm, it was ok weather, i am still wearing a jacket so its ice cold to me but it started snowing during my trig class and it wasn't bad but when i got to work it got super bad in about 3 hours we had 4-5 inches in our parking lot! and the snow was coming in from the side it was blowing so hard, sorta like the rain that forest gump describes in the movie. the power went out so the last hour i was in the dark by myself cause i can't lock up cause it isnt 5... we still didn't do anything, good thing i had my ipod.

CHUCK NORRIS IN LATIN MEAN ARMAGEDDON

2008-02-11T08:30:00.006-07:00

The chuck fact of the day is.
Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching a DeltaForce marathon on Satellite TV.

GUITAR HERO

2008-02-11T08:30:00.003-07:00

This is our niece Sophia and she is sooo funny, she doesn't really know how to play but she can definitely rock out. well i have been told to keep my posts much shorter cause they are to long, and i guess they are not that much fun to read. so i am in class (it hasn't started yet) its my nutrition class and next i have math and its hard its trig, i dont think it would be hard but its my teacher, she doesn't like to give multiply choices... blah... bye friends
DEROCK

WE BE BACK IN 5

2008-02-10T08:30:00.001-07:00

BEST WEBSITE EVER!

2008-02-07T11:45:00.000-07:00

this is the best thing ever, it made me laugh.

http://www.beards.org/grow.php

ps this is our car... with about 8 inches from one storm, the lesser of some of the storms

BEARDS

2008-02-07T11:29:00.000-07:00

ok, so maybe i got a little too excited just barely... i went on the internet and typed in great beards... and i found the golden nugget. http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/ this is the most amazing site! http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/jameshood.html this is my idol... maybe one day i will compete... its a dream. anyways the reason i started this post is because its snowing today and sunday stevies brother jon, his wife ask if i have ever had icicle in my beard, and now today i can cause it is like a blizzard out here today and i wanted snow in my beard so i walked right in it, i got to the library went to the bathroom and then looked in the mirror, and my whole beard was glorious and it was just a bit frozen... so i thought about it, that could have been my skin! my beard protects me and loves me and i love it.

MY LIST O GOODIES

2008-02-05T09:10:00.000-07:00

so this is a list erica my hommie did of things she wants or something like that... well this is mine.
#1 is a yoohoo drink
#2 is the box set of saved by the bell
#3 would have to be a slim jim

#4 would easily be a sled and dogs, i already have the mustache...

JAMES TAYLOR

2008-02-05T09:05:00.000-07:00

he is pretty tricky this fellow... his music is like chocolate to the ears... i seriously cannot listen to it when i am in public cause i tend to dance... not like dancing with the stars, but like a night at the roxberry... i sorta just bob my head a whole lot and sway and realize that... i am that wierdo in the corner now... i have a beard and i am swaying back and forth... i swear i am not a doobie brother... but i am pretty sure people stare at me like this and just think... "derek, hes so hot right now... derek."

GREAT MUSIC

2008-01-31T20:35:00.000-07:00

So Weber has a huge library and i love it, its huge! but the best part is that its even better while you are listening to the smiths, the shins, or james taylor... so i might have had another wander around moment... i was walking around in awe while i was seeing how big the library was... so i walked around the entire place.. .its huge.

PS TO SCHOOL

2008-01-31T08:50:00.000-07:00

for anyone who i haven't told my human anatomy class has a lab every friday where we get to check out real human bones and cadavers! its so cool the body is amazing! anyone who believes that we evolved from a simple organism without any help from a God you should see how complex the body is and try and tell me that a simple organism is going to creat little holes in the bone which allow nerves and other tissues to pass through to make the face smile... yeah good luck on that... its taken us how long to evolve to the point where we might start having kids without wisdom teeth... i just dont think there is any way that we could have evolved from a simple organism sorry... case closed... your friends from the frozen tundra
DEREK AND STEVIE the coolest people you will ever meet ALLEN

Hannah montana

2008-01-31T08:40:00.000-07:00

so last night was hannah clarks B-day and we went down to jennie and dave's to hang out. we went got there and dave and jennie started laughing and called me grizzly adams cause they haven't seen me with the beard... it was funny cause i told them later that i wasn't going to just do an annual hair cut from now on, buzz the head and shave the beard in the spring or summer, then grow it out for the next winter. well we went to chuck-a-rama woot woot to tons of food. we got there and hannah was hanging all over me like always, for anyone who didnt know but my niece hannah was stevie's biggest competition/challenge because hannah loves me and was like 5 when i brought stevie by the first time and hannah just looked at her and walked away, hannah knew that stevie was going to get me. it took stevie like almost a full year till hannah would even hug her, but still hannah runs and jumps on me and will have me hold her for hours. she is way cute. anyways at chuck-a-rama she followed me around and would get what i would get but she loves veggies! jennie and dave did good there. but it was funny cause we apparantly sat in a big groups section but it wasn't our fault cause they sat us there and they totally watched us all night, but like i was going to leave, i was eating. im like chris farely when he is playing that girl on SNL and david spade asks him if he loves them so much why dont you marry them? chris's response is like mine when you drag me away from a buffet... sike i am just kidding duh...... anyways we had fun with them they all are way funny they cracked us up... when we got home hannah and sophia were jumping all over me and stevie and were like "tickle us" so we would and they would almost pee their pants. then sophia got out this chess set and i looked down and asked jennie if she played chess and jennie just laughed and said well she gets it out and sets them up. when we looked at her she was just playing with them like action figures it was soo funny... she cracks me up. she is a loon. well we got home and fell asleep by 10 and it was nice... then i woke up this morning to get on the bus at 7 am to get to school. and i choose the wrong jacket cause this one is tiny and thin and i froze cause it is windy and 20 degrees... anyways i gotta go study for human anatomy! peace hommies!

Party like its 1999

2008-01-31T08:32:00.000-07:00

So last saturday we went down to Meg and Allens casa to play with them, yes play. no we went down to see them and hang out, and it was one of the funniest days. i seriously could just play with aiden all day, he literally is smarter than me. we can argue for 5 minutes and he is 5... but i win. so many things happened i wish i could remember all, we got there and they were busting out the Wii and it was funny to see how good they are at guitar hero... parker is a stud on his bass and rocks guitar hero too, morgan is just a fatty mcgee, sike she is still skinny and is better than me i think at guitar hero. skeeter and his buddies rock at the mario and sonic olympic games and are way funny. aiden like i said makes me laugh non stop. brielle is a monster in the sense that she beats up aiden now cause she out weighs him hahaha... seriously she was so funny. we were at the dinner table cause allen and meg are cool and made us dinner and aiden wasn't eating his food so i thought if i offered him a quarter he would eat the rest of his quesadilla and he stops and looks at me, and about 30 sec. later he says how about a dollar? and was serious! i was laughing so hard. then brielle went bi-polar when she got mad that she couldn't stand on her little table and got her cut up quesadilla and threw it on the floor and we all tried not to laugh and she got more mad and grabbed aiden's food and threw it too! then 3 minutes later she was all happy cleaning up her mess than we laughed.

oh aiden got to go see a basement full of trainsets and he got his own, and when he got home he showed us and was like "i started my own train collection... dad when will we put my tracks up?" it was so funny cause it was right after this guy gave him the train... anyways meg and allen are way fun and their kids are crazy. peace, love, and harmony
derek

Life of the Party

2008-01-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

Well apparantly i can't go a day without posting cause i get in trouble for not being a monkey and dancing for my family... its ok i like to dance so more posting. anyways lots has happened since i last posted. but i will give you a quick run down of the week and maybe put other posts up like the rest of you do so it doesn't take 20 minutes to read just one.
school is going good for me, other than my math class i thought i was ready for my test, same with the rest of my class, the average on the first test was 60%... trig is harder than i thought, oh and she also didnt make it multiple choice so i had to supple the answer and i wasn't ready for that and well i didn't do so hot. ps my teacher is from Delta, so she understands my hickish talk. i had a nutrition test as well on saturday and i did good on that and i have found out i am fat. you think i would have had to do a test for that, but no i just walked in and he was like "dead man walking" i was like "what yo?!" and he was like "calm down fatty mcgee." so i sat down... no not really but i did do a health assesment and i do have to much cholesterol, surprise but im skinnier now, try 220 woot woot, its a mystery i know cause i dont work out.
human anatomy is way cool i love it. we are going over the articulation of the bones and we are going on to muscles i think real soon. but i have memorized just about ever bone in the head.
stevie is still looking for a job, but she is thinking about going into the steven heniger college for business management which would help her to get a secretary job or something cool like that. the other i like alot is graphic design, think about that i could make cool mullet stickers and shirts and maybe grizzly adams stuff. she is a common at her little sisters b-ball games and likes those alot, still getting the cheers down... this was a long post whoops.. i will post again. good bye

WE BE FUN

2008-01-25T07:47:00.001-07:00

So nothing real special happened yesterday, but for those who wanna know how uncool i am here was my day. i woke up, got on the bus and came to school, listened to french teacher, couldnt understand her... went to other class learned that asprin makes your blood thin, asprin=bad. i went to work and i think my bus driver is either insane or on drugs, maybe both. got to work did my work thing... came home on the bus almost got sick cause insane druggie bus driver brought me back, got home and me and stevie got home and the same time, that was a good thing. we ate some dinner. and i took a nap whoops.. did my math and studied for nutrition.. went to bed watching short circut... got to run now to go to my lab, see cadavers.

IN ADDITION TO COOL AS ICE

2008-01-23T07:43:00.000-07:00

Im as cold as ice right now. so i woke up late again cause i might have been doing homework and some how Short Circut found it to the DVD player in the bedroom and somehow I was under the covers?? mystery i know. to go off on a tangent fast, Short Circut is one of the greatest movies of all time, even better than Cool As Ice with Vanilla Ice and Mortal Kombat. Back to waking up late, so basically i couldn't shower, but i dont stink cause sweating doesn't exsist here, i asked. but i brushed my teeth to James Taylor, great man, ,, that will be another tangent later,, and i ate toaster struddles and left to stand in the ice kingdom also know as 49th south and washington. well i got on the bus and i think i might know the bus drivers names now, if not we are still friends. but i started to study cause i am a nerd and i study on the bus cause thats what nerd do okay. And i realized im a nerd and maybe a scary one cause this lady kept looking at me but it might be the beard, i hope so. anyways so i got down to 25th aka gangsters paradise and hung out with the hommies in the cold, busted a few rhymes out, then i got on the bus and i got to school where i walked really fast to here so i could print off a paper i need for my nutritions class. but on my was i slipped and almost fell over, thus making me hate ice, i hate ice and moldy banana's. but i do love the sun, and when it kills ice, lets pray for sun, thank you. im done.
LOVE DEREK the bearded AND STEVIE the great ALLEN.
hugs and kisses

AS COOL AS ICE

2008-01-23T07:40:00.000-07:00

So i am beginning to think that maybe Vanilla Ice wasn't as smart as i thought he was, cause i mean i know he was a lyrical genious but maybe he didn't know that ice isn't "cool" in the sense of popularity, cause i pretty much hate ice, and living in snow. But i do love america and Fred Savage in the Princess Bride. The End.
Peace Love And Harmony

CREEP-O ON BUS-O

2008-01-22T19:30:00.001-07:00

So today i had another inccident with the bus, well basically i have come to determine that the bus system spies on me, yeah they do. my reasoning is this, every morning that i go and wait i will be there like 2 minutes early cause i can't handle ice in my vains like some people, and the bus will show up like 10 minutes later than it is supposed to, but if i am right on time... guess what has come and gone, so i decided that they (the bus mafia) put little spies in the trees, i call them treelings, but they are called 4th graders... they are really tricky cause if you look in the trees to catch a glimpse they will throw snow in your face... i tried it once, last time. well anyways i was remembering that poor little lady, ok so maybe she was poor or little, but she was a lady... but she was staring at me like i was the man off of the uni-bomber posters, which i couldnt have been i didnt even have a beard or sweat aviator shades back then... i don't blame my self for lack of style cause we all know i have it, but i blame my inability to earn the green, mula, or dinero from where i live... anyways back to the lady on the bus... so i think she was really scared of me cause i was ready my human anatomy book, but i decided no that can't be... then i thought was it the look i gave her??apparantly thats not a friendly face... i didn't realize that pee wee was making that face to scare the creepo's away but apparantly it worked for him, and me, she got off later.... well so i got to the bus depot and was spitting some words with the depot thugs (aka homeless) i dont know if it is because they are half drunk half hung over or have crazy but they can really get to rappin, maybe its the drunken slurring... so i hopped on the bus and me and frank, i call him frank cause i have never known a frank and he looks like a frank, well we are friends and he drops me off close to work, good guy... anyways i got back to school today and i was in my human anatomy class which is taught by a nice french lady who hasn't lost her accent in the last 30 years of living here, so basically she told us we are going to know french by the time we end the class... i sure hope so i needs to communicate with those crazy canooks from canada... well basically in her class today this lady asked what happens if you break your growth plate and she stopped and looked at her... this is a huge class too... and says "no good" and that was it and i started laughing so hard... me and the kid next to me we like to laugh, so we did.
thanks to that class i have realized that i really do deserve the title of being from delta, or at least southern utah because i have noticed with Stevie alot and people in my classes that i am metally retarded. She likes to use big words like October and they use words straight out of our book that i just know what they mean cause i stare at my book, but to use them in a sentence good luck... i just use words like, that month when tha green things on those tall things turn red or yellow and if its a body part like they are saying i just stand up and point to it, i had to stop grunting cause they just dont understand that here... man i miss DSC... sike i like weber cause i have learned with the help of stevie that this phrase is wrong - we dont need none... i just dont use it anymore... i just say... no. happy new years!
DEREK i used to be cool ALLEN

NOT TODAY, BUT YESTERDAY

2008-01-22T19:30:00.000-07:00

Well to keep you all informed cause i know you all wanna know how cool we are, and what cool people do i will tell you. well yesterday for me, D-Bone, i had some good classes i realized that i am in a math class that is for people going into engineering and they are super smart and say things that i just stare at them and think, who are you? and then i think i am going into physical therapy knowing how to find the reference angle isn't going to help me very much unless you draw a circle on your body and then give me an angle and wanna know how far it has traveled.... after feeling like these maths lovers were looking and proding the wild animal (me) i had to run to my bus, and i saw it drive away so i thought i wish i would have drawn out an circle knowing and then maybe i could have met that bus in a better location to watch him laugh at me better as he drove past me... i have either figured that i am a normal on the bus yet, or i just look stupid cause some kid asked if he could borrow $5 and i looked at him and was like, haha i have no money, and i dont, we be poor. anyways i went to work and did the work thing then i got home drove up to stevies parent's house and i did home work... not so exciting.
For Stevo she went and dropped off some more applications in her job search. she also got to go to her little sisters basketball game and hang out with her family and listen to the cheerleaders. she is funny she tells me her favorite cheers and they make me laugh real good.
well that was yesterday, not so much a fun day. good bye

even gangsta's blog

2008-01-22T09:35:00.000-07:00

So this is our first (me and stevie) blog and stevie doesn't know that i created this, so it should be fun. So we were convinced by my sisters Ashlynn and Erica to start blogging about our lives so i decided it would be good. We got our house all set up and we like it alot, i will post some pictures for you all, its a rad little house, we like it.
Today was very hard to wake up, my alarm went off at 6:30 so i can go ride the bus system to down town O-town and then ride another to weber but i sorta slept in cause i dont have class till 10 and i had to wait for the stupid bus for 20 minutes in the cold. then i got to the depot center where i like to over hear the crazies (homesless/wierd people) stories about how they got kicked out of their house or the brawl at the bar below their house. its my gossip. well i needs to get to Human anatomy so this will end our first blog, and i will tell stevie about it or just let her create her own. anyways Peace hommies
O-Town out
