Dueling Guitars

(Be sure to pause my playlist)



This is a flippin' sweet clip from August Rush. I love playing the guitar (even though I'm not that good). I love this movie. It reminds me of my nephew Sam. That kid is a genius. He composed and directed a symphony for his school, and he's only 12. I'm excited to hang out with him in August. I finally get some time off. He is going to visit for a few days from New Orleans. We are going to go see the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight and play video games!!! I'm so exited.


I went to a Journey concert tonight and it rocked. The guitarist is amazing. I wish I could play like that. We are also going to the John Mayer concert in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited. He is also a great guitar player. Anyways, I'm off to bed.

I love TENNIS!!!

I love tennis! I wish I could play it everyday. My favorite tournament is Wimbldon. It was always one of my dreams do play in it....heheh...but it is just that...a Dream. Oh well. At least Becca plays tennis with me. She is better than I am. We actually played tennis on our second date (and she beat me!) She says that I let her win, but I really didn't. I'm so glad that I have someone to play with. My favorite player of all time is Pete Sampras.

He's amazing. I think my favorite for this tournament is Rodger Federer. He's been No. 1 for a long time, and he deserves it. He's also an amazing player. Anyway, sorry this is kind of a random post, but I turned it to NBC and Wimbledon is on! and Federer is playing! He is serving for the match....wait!!! actually, he just won! Sweet!!! He'll play on Friday in the Semifinals. I wish I could play like him.

OUCH....and Harry Potter!!!

I just finished Harry Potter 6. It is the best book I think that I have read. I can't believe what happened!!!!! (I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it)...but I didn't see it coming!!!...well, actually I did. Our friends were over at our house and we were playing a game and started talking about Harry Potter. He accidentally said the thing which I have been trying sooo hard not to find out until I read it. But it's okay. I didn't really think it happened, but when I read it for myself I was shocked! I can't believe it!!!!! I started book 7 that same night and got to chapeter 2. It's pretty good so far. I'm almost caught up to Becca. Anywho. I just took a gash out of my finger. I was washing dishes and somehow one of our cups broke and took a nice chunk out of my right index finger knuckle. I thought I was going to pass out because I got really light headed. Becca was up in Logan so I called her because I thought I was going to die!!! Just kidding. But I really did feel like I was going to pass out. Now it just stings and aches really bad! I hope I can play basketball tomorrow night. I doubt it though! Dang it!!! It's the only exercise I get!!! It just won't stop bleeding.

A lot of new news...

It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been very busy with school and work. I have so much homework, (mostly reading) and I'm already a little behind. I hope I can catch up. The summer semesters are shorter so they tack on a bunch of extra work. Oh well....It's interesting stuff at least.

So a lot has been happned since I posted last. First of all, my lovely wife is PREGNANT!!!! We are sooooo excited. I'M soo excited. I am excited for Cameron to have a little brother or sister. He's going to be such a good big brother

Cute little guy!!!

If you are looking for some cheap entertainment and want to laugh your head off, I would recoment watching Cars with the subtitles on. There are soooo many funny lines that you just don't hear when you just watch it. Becca and I watched it with Cameron and we were laughing sooo hard!!!! The best scene is when Lightning McQueen is just starting to pave the new road with Bessie after the court session, and Mater just goes off. You should listen to it and have the subtitles on. It's freakin' hilarious!!!

So I turned 25 today! Becca planned a party at my parents house and it was soo much fun!!!! We ate steak!!!! It was so good!!! Thanks mom, dad, and Becca!!!! You guys rock!!! I got some pretty cool presents. I got The Office seasons 1-3 on DVD. Thanks Becca! My parents and Megan got me the Fablehaven series. I'm looking forward to reading them. I'm still on Harry Potter book 6. It is getting very interesting. Becca made me my favorite cake...German Chocolate!!!! Yummy stuff!!! Thanks dude!!!
Well, that's about all the news I have for now!

The Answer and story behind my question of the week...

My question of the week was: Which food DID I eat in Korea?

The answer is.....King crab brain.

It wasn't very tasty. In fact, I didn't know what it was until after I ate it. One of the families we were teaching took us out to dinner one evening. They said it was a surprise were we were going. We started walking through a fish market and I'm like, oh no!!! I didn't like fish very much. Well, we stopped at a King Crab stand, and Byung Gook (the guy we were teaching) told us to pick one. I couldn't even look at them...they were so big and nasty. We eventually picked one and then we took it to a near by Japanese restaurant were you bring your own food and they cooked it for us. While we were waiting, out come a huge plate full of Sushi. I had never tried it before, and I thought I was going to throw up. Then a few minutes later, out come the King Crab that we just bought who was alive 30 minutes earlier. Byung Gook tore off a huge leg and handed it to me and said, "eat up!" At the table there were some scissors and chop sticks. I had no idea how to eat it. I watched everyone else to find out how. They would use the scissors to cut up the outer shell of the leg and then use the chop sticks to dig out the meat. I hesitated, but finally gave it. It actually wasn't that bad. The meat tastes like buttery turkey! Not too bad at all. But then Byung Gook started cutting the head and the body up and eating it. He gave me some and said, "try some of this!" I tried it, and thought I was going to throw up! He then told me that it was the brain. I'm sure most of you have tasted the yoke of a hardboiled egg....well, the brain tasted like a very mushy, salty, egg yolk. It was gross!!!! It had the same texture. Sorry if I ruined everyones ability to eat hard boiled egg yolk. Sothis was the first meal that I had king crab and sushi at the same meal....I almost threw up by the end of the night.

eewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
