OUT OF THIS WORLD

Just the other day I was driving on bell road when the above prize fell into my lap. Some days it just seems like everything goes right. If you can't decipher the code too well then keep reading. On the right we have a space craft. In the background there are mountains and on the left it reads, "Boston." What you might not be able to see are the faces of the band Boston above the words, "Boston." - That's my favorite part. Now that is a dedicated fan. I am assuming that beautiful creation was inspired by the below Boston album cover.

Now here is where the story takes a scary turn. I followed the car for about a half a mile until the driver pulled over and got out of the car. That is when I was able to snap the following photo.

DARN YOU SHAWN REED! warning: this post may contain adult photo content

I went paintballing last Saturday and it turns out (to my detriment) that Shawn Reed came also. Two games in a row Shawn Reed snuck up on my side while I shot at another member of his team. Needless to say he was close enough to give me some nice welts. If you'll notice kids, the welt by my shorts stopped spreading do to my elastic pants that also leave a lovely mark.

TEN YARDS AWAY FROM LOSING MY LEGS

This past weekend my family had a reunion in San Diego. The morning after we arrived we went down to La Jolla beach and tried to surf. I say "tried" because it isn't as easy as it looks on TV. While I was out in the ocean I saw huge black something swim under the water about ten yards in front of me. Needless to say, I was glad it kept swimming. I then looked up and saw a sea lion poking it's little head out of the water about 20 yards in front of me. For those of you that are wondering why the above sea lion has an antenna on his head - there is a reasonable explanation for that. That is a government sea lion trained to infiltrate the Chinese government and bring it to its' knees.

ANY TAKERS?

Earlier this month I was driving home from work on the I-10 and to my great amazement and pleasure I saw the above picture on the side of a pretty large truck with dark tinted windows. I tried to to get a good look at Ken but his image was mysteriously and consistently out of my view. I did however see what appeared to be Santa Clause in the passenger seat. I see the beginnings of a conspiracy theory here...but I'll leave that up to you.

As you can clearly see Ken is a big fan of his name (as seen twice in this picture - once in huge letters above RAM 1500 and once on the sign). It is also evident that he has run into some desperate times. I am not quite sure what the small writing says, but I believe the upper right hand word reads, "camping." What an advertisement! The only catch is that you might be living closer to the north pole than you may want.

p.s. this post is in response to all the hate mail I have been receiving lately for the lack of new posts.

Am I a bad person?

By the condo where we live there is a pond right outside our window. Every once in a while parents/kids that can read will ignore the big sign that says, "Warning, unfenced pond, children should be supervised at all times." On this particular occasion there was a girl admiring the turtles and ducks. When I noticed that she was trying to touch one of them I decided to grab the camera. I knew she wouldn't be able to get close enough because the turtles jump back in the pond the second they notice you are around. My motivation for getting the camera was worse... I was hoping to get a picture of her falling into the pond. I know that is sounds bad. I know you're saying, "What if the girl can't swim?" Trust me, that all went through my head while I anticipated her plunge into that nasty nasty water. I convinced myself that it would be a funny picture for everyone - including her parents - oh the laughs we all would have. Right? I continued convincing myself that if she fell in, it wouldn't be a problem because a) she could just stand up and the water would probably just go to her waist, and b) I could run out and help her out of the water in a matter of seconds. Well, needless to say, she didn't fall in - otherwise you would have seen a picture of her in the water.

P.S. The weirdest part is that she crawled out of that bush behind her and then when she was done she crawled back in. I haven't seen her since.
