Um, er,uh, like.....I should stick to text posts.

And now...the Rest of the story.

Here goes. The weekend before thanksgiving there was a car show in Scotsdale, Az. My dad and his friends from the "Zonie Motors" car club decided to have some fun this year, because car shows can be quite boring at times. So, they decided to have a Mardi Gras party, and so they drove around the place playing cajun music and throwing beads at people. (they didn't have to do anything to get the beads)

This car was built just for the event. Four guys from the club got together and bought this 51 Chrysler. (yep, it's got a hemi!) They cut the roof off, lowered it, painted it flat black, put flamethrowers in the exhaust and stuck them through the hood. So they would drive around throwing beads and shooting fire from the pipes.
It was a trip, to say the least. It was really funny watching the all the over 50 car guys party. They were all hammered and dancing around by noon both days.

They also had about 5 blenders that were powered by weed-eater engines making drinks all day.

Eventually, they got in trouble for the flamethrowers, apparently they're illegal.. so in protest they stuffed newspaper and hot coals from the grill in the pipes and set them on fire.. real mature, huh?

You'll see the entire event in the upcoming video "Old Fogeys Gone Wild" which will be available for $19.95 on late night cable TV.

THE END

Weenie Roast?

This is what I want for Christmas.... or an ipod I guess.

There's a story behind this. Not a very good one, so don't get your hopes up...

I will say that actual weenies were roasted on this flame, as well as popcorn, buns, and anything else we could find to stick in the pipes.

Stay tuned!

I'm off to the 602...er uh 623....no wait ...480.

Back in the diz-ay Arizona only had one area code for the entire state. Around the Mid-80's the boom to move out west hit, and Phoenix and the surrounding communities were growing like crazy.

I just remember that it seemed like overnight we went from one area code to several. I think it was when I was a freshman in college. Well, the 'rappers' liked to call Phoenix the "602" because...well... I guess it sounded cool. So, out of habit I call it the "602" 'cause I'm straight gangsta'. Technically though, my dad doesn't live in the 602 area code, but it just doesn't feel right to say that I'm gonna be kickin' it in the 480. So, for our purposes, I'm bouncin' to the 602.. ish.

Here are some fun Arizona images.

Suh-weet
Palm Walk. You can see how it got its name. DUH! Runs north-south through campus. I've walked on it like....1,000 times.
The Bridge over University Ave. The beginning of Palm Walk.
A rare geological find discovered in Tibet and transported carefully back to ASU. They found it just like that, I swear.
Seriously... not at Thanksgiving though.
Go Devils!

Learner??

Today I'm having an internal struggle with what I know is true, and what I really believe. I've committed to be a learner for the rest of my life. But sometimes that's easier said than done. I know that God has put certain people in my life to learn from, but right now my pride doesn't want to hear it. Maybe I just need a vacation.

Lord, help me to learn all I can from everyone I can, not just the ones I choose to learn from.

Speaking of Pride, I've got plenty enough to go around lately, and I'm afraid to pray that God will humble me. So, I'm trying to 'humble myself in the sight of the Lord' so He doesn't have to.
