Smiles' Crazy Blog

So I was reading about socialism. I went to wikipedia, and I just read the list of people or groups of people that claimed to have socialist ideas. Go check it out here. Wow...

I really like making cookies. I mean, to mix add and then properly cook, all for the great reward of ingestion, is quite a remarkable task. That is just one of the things that I made today. I also made biscuits and gravy. I am the master of biscuits, thank you mom.

I think I am going to buy a digital camera and add something to my blog. What will it be, you shall see...after I buy the camera, sometime this month. This feature will make me actually get out of my apartment, which is something that I need to do. Maybe I will even talk to people.

This brings me to my next point. My older brother Bart and I noticed something that is disturbing. No one my age goes to church, unless they are married. First that is disturbing, because I can't ever seem to meet anyone my age. Secondly, why doesn't this seem to bother anyone else that people just stop going to church shortly after college?

I almost forgot my cookies...LOL...I hate lol.

Anyways, does anyone know an intelligent Christian girl in the Portland area who would go swing dancing with a guy who really doesn't know how to swing dance? If you do, you should have her give me a call.

So during a conversation with my brother tonight, I realized that my mom's most troublesome 3 year old class that she ever had is going to be in third grade at church starting on June 11th. Wow. There is one student that I am really looking forward, who is probably going to be the most difficult. Here is the one story that will always remind me of her.

One sunday when this girl I am refering to was three and in my moms class determined that she needed to do something. What was this something? Well it was take a bath. While my mother was distracted, I must tell you she was not the only challenging student, she proceeded to disrobe completely in the middle of the class. My mom, realizing that this is a difficult situation, realized that she need to get clothes back on this child. My mom does not know why she is naked, so she asks. The child screams "I HAVE TO TAKE A BATH!!!!!" She was completely inconsolable, and this is the child that will be joining me this summer in my class. Hooray.

I am Hungry. I feel like eating everything forever. It has been a long time since I have really felt this way, but I am really hungry.

Gnarls Barkley. I like their stuff. It sounds good to me, go listen to it yourself.

I watched "I Heart Huckabees" today. It was good. When I realized it was a contrast between Existentialism and Nihilism, it made it even better. To say the least it had better philosophy than "The Matrix" just without the action or special effects. Of course most people probably won't get the movie, because the story is weird, and about people who want to save the enviroment, sort of.

Pizza, is delicious.

I have started playing Warcraft 3. I sat down and played a lot of it today, I think that maybe I am getting the hang of it. Well, maybe not on the internets, but I will think about it.

I really wish that I knew a girl that I could be in a relationship with. I just don't know where to go to meet girls with similar interests as me, and in a situation where I feel like actually getting to know them, and not just have to sit there and make awkward conversation. Ok, so I have to go through the latter in order to get to the former, but hey I can dream.

I guess maybe what I am saying is that I want kids before I get old, and while I am only 23, it would be nice to feel like I am accomplishing that goal.

NBA playoffs this year are fun to watch. I really want Dallas to play Phoenix in the next round. Neither team has a guy that is considered a thug as a good player on either team, both teams can score a lot of points, and I think those two teams are what NBA basketball needs right now to become more watchable. Maybe more teams will take their lead and go back to scoring a lot of points which makes the games fun. With that being said, I hope the Pistons lose, not because I hate the Pistons, but because they are kind of the opposite of exciting basketball.

On a final note, drivers in Tigard, suck. It is illegal to change lanes in an intersection, and not curteous to try and force yourself into the right lane immediately after a left turn when there is a left turn lane that turns into the right lane. Jerks.

I just got back from the store and ate some chips and salsa con queso. So delicious. Did I mention I went to the store 20 minutes ago.

So I went to the store, and while I was there I saw a guy with a shirt that said "Tom Is Not My Friend", and immediately I thought, someone who buys their shirts from the same website I do. Wonderful.

Anyways, it is Wednesday and I am finally getting around to writing about the weekend.

Saturday we celebrated my mom's birthday. What did we do, eat a lot of food. That is right, eat a lot of food. My mom said she would buy the food, so long as her children made it. So what did we do, well make food. This was the menu, maker in parenthesis:

Orange Slush (Clarissa)
Cheese Fondue with Bread(Me, Bart, Becky)
Stuffed Mushrooms (Me, Jeremy)
Rolls (John)
Minestrone (Me)
Chicken Cordon Bleu (Bart)
Black Bottom Cake (Becky)

That is all the food I can remember, it was really delicious and I was stuffed when I was done, and my mom enjoyed it, and everything tasted good.

I bought the new Tool CD. Buy it if you only buy it for the artwork. I think it is worth it.

Of course I follow that paragraph with Church on sunday, was interesting. I need to prepare my lessons a whole lot better, one church it went fine, the other church I was thoroughly unprepared. I feel really bad when my class misbehaves. When my class misbehaves I feel as if I am not teaching effectively enough, because I have to deal with disciplinary issues. Then again, I still have not had the problems that I had to deal with when I taught in South Gifford Missouri. That was a lot of fun.

This week at work has been interesting, I want to say things are speeding up, but everytime I do it seems like things slow down, not enough to get scared, but slower. Money is still going out the door, so I feel good.

Today when I got dressed I put on a clean shirt or so I thought. I put it on, run to work and when I get there I look down ant my shirt and it looks like something with a huge paw has stepped on my shirt, perhaps a bear. I mean, when I put it on I believe it was clean, and it isn't anything that I put on my shirt. I mean really it looks like a frickin' bear or ginormous dog stepped on my shirt. It is kind of funny.

Watching NBA basketball I wonder how Clifford Robinson is still in the NBA. Also, the Phoenix Suns are really fun to watch.

With that being said I am going to watch the Amazing race.

So yesterday at work I had an iteresting situation. I was pulling an order to be shipped to a customer, and I noticed that one of the parts that I had to pull was in an odd location, one that only contained parts of another product line. I thought this to be odd, so I asked my lead about it and he said that it was in a different spot. This spot being a box, that what seemed like millions of parts that we are planning on scapping soon, soon being sometime in the future that no one really knows, but they say soon to make everyone happy. Anyways I start digging through this box, and I am amazed by the number of parts this box contains. There are millions of hoses and washers and other miscellaneous parts. So I look through it forever and it seems like I am never going to find this part, digging and digging. Of course you wonder why I don't just tell someone that I am not going to find it, well the reason being it is supposed to be sent UPS Red, which means overnight to those of you who aren't in shipping. Well I do get to the point where I feel like giving up, about a half hour later. I just want to quit, but what does my eye see, but something that looks like the part that I am looking for, and it is. After a half hour of searching through a mess of parts, I finally find it. The order ships and everyone is happy.

So, the question I am asking is, am I unfortunate for having to dig through a box of crazy parts or am I fortunate because I was able to find the part?
