okay...so the uh...website thing is from church the other day when i told them about my dream of being eaten by a bear, and then we were talking about ways of communication--like how to signal a rescue plane. somebody--i think Matt--came up with the website idea.

anyways::
so, if you haven't been keeping up with my personal life (not that i expect you to. in fact, if you did, that would probably be real weird.), i've been at my Dad's house in Texas for almost a week now, and we leave today for our annual vacation to the Brummell's Rocky Mountain Lodge on the Conejos River in southern Colorado.

mmm...time for some REAL summer vacation to start. oh yeah, baby. we go up there with most of my step-mom's family to do some hiking/fishing/out-door sporting/family-get-together-ing/maybe some horsey-riding/four-wheeling (hopefully)/sight seeing/and just general relaxing. i can't wait, and neither can anybody else.

what i've accomplished this week::

1. mowing the yards -- this is one of the most irritating things you can do in West Texas for two reasons. first, there's so much dust on the ground that you practically need to wear an oxygen mask to breathe. second, in the middle of mowing the yard, you realize--"wait a second, why the heck am i mowing? it's not like we have grass!" haha. and you think i'm kidding, don't you. well, come and see.
2. finding a baby bird in the street -- i saw it while i was mowing. how was i supposed to know that if you pick them up, the mother won't take them back?? now i feel bad. sorry, baby bird. i only meant to help! anyway, the bird was real cool. it just let me pick it up and hold it for a while. it didn't even car, and when i was going to put it back in the tree, it flew away.
3. moving over a ton of scrap metal -- my brother and i got paid by my dad to hook the big trailer, pick up all the scrap metal we could find behind Papa's shops, and take it to the scrap yard. that was pretty cool. it was 2,430 pounds, if i remember correctly. the big tractor thing that picked up all the stuff reminded me and my brother of one of those arcade games where you have the claw and you're supposed to pick up the fluffy toys......ahh...those were the days. man, now that i remember, i'm real good at those games. i should go play one. mmm.. ANYWAY
4. helping Dad with the new storage building -- last time i was here we set the concrete slab for the new 15'x25' storage building. Dad framed the walls since i was gone, and this week i helped him put up the plywood and insulation. this is gonna be the sweetest storage building ever. you know it.
5. buying a video game with the money from the scrap metal -- Brandon and i bought Midnight Club II for xbox, which is probably the sweetest street racing game ever. hmm...except for Rush 2. i wish they would bring that one back...or make one for xbox. oh man.
6. buying another video game without the money from the scrap metal -- Brandon and i also bought GTA: Vice City for my computer. hmm. for some reason, we've been really into cars lately. collectively we have a bunch racing/car games. Midnight Club II, GTA: Vice City, Project Gotham Racing, Sega GT, Rush 1 and 2, Moto GP 2, Pro Race Driver, Colin McRae Rally 3.0....wow... oh, and we also went car shopping in the mall the other day for no reason. there's a Mitsubishi dealer in the mall, and we wanted to see if they had any nice Lancers. they only had the coupe version, so it wasn't as great as on Sega GT...hehe.. oh man, we like this too much.
7. eating a heck of a lot of mexican food -- from Taco Villa to Rosa's to Jalisco's!!! Woooooweeeeee!! gotta love it.
8. getting soaked by some girl -- so, i'm helping out with my dad's cub scouts game night....there's a water balloon toss going on, and i'm picking up the balloon remains, comepletely not involved. this crazy girl (one of the cub scouts sisters) starts attacking me with balloons. oh man, i didn't even do anything, and she got me with 2 (along with 3 other foiled attempts at an ambush. we got in the car and Brandon and i were wondering why she started going after me. i told him that's how some girls flirt. he said "well, when you're that good looking, you just have to expect the ladies to pick on you!" wow. i love that kid. hahahahahahahaha
9. sleeping on the couches -- instead of sleeping in our beds, Brandon and i decided to play video games every night until about 2am and then fall asleep on the couches in the living room. Sharon didn't like that too much.

okay...i hafta go now. everybody just got home with lunch (from Rosa's, oh yeah!)
i'll post after i get back to my mom's house! weeeeeeeeeee Cooooooollllloooooorrrrrraaaaaaddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

oh, and by the way... KYLE, I WAS AT YOUR HOUSE LAST WEEK WHEN YOU WROTE LIKE A 15 PAGE POST, AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T PUBLISHED IT....the world is waiting!!!
