8 reasons people call me

So the other night I went to see "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," or at least I think that's what its called. Anyway Brenden, Marcos, and Jeanie apparently really wanted to hang out with me, because they called me 30 times and filled up my voicemail box. Here's some of the reason's people want to hang out with me.

"Oh Ted help me, 

I accicently travelled back in time to the prehistoric times. I'm afraid I'm going to be devoured by dinosaurs very quickly. You're my only hope, you're the only person I can get through to. Give me a call, for the love of God, I need to get back to the present time which is the future for me. Give me a call, bye."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted, 

Its Brenden again. I accidentally drank a cup of human blood and I'm afraid I'm going to turn into a vampire. I really just need someone to hold my hand through this. Go ahead and give me a call back if you can. I don't want to wait 'til sunlight."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted, 

I just got a letter in the mail from the maker, the inventor, of string cheese, and apparently he's suing me, I'm stuck in a law suit with him. He says that I ripped him off in some way. I don't remember trying to say that I invented string cheese. But if you could give me a call back that would be good, I could use the legal advice. All right, thanks a lot brother, bye."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted,

Its Brenden. I accidentally killed Michael J. Fox and I need somebody to help me bury the body. If you could just give me a call back that would be appreciated, bye."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted,

Its Brenden. I just successfully cloned a wooly mammoth. I don't know what to feed it though. If you could go with me down to Petsmart or something like that it would be much appreciated. All right, call me back brother, bye."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted,

  I just got hit by a meteorite and I seem to have gained super-powers. I'm afraid that a super-villian is not far behind. If you could give me a call and maybe we could work on this together. I need a costume, I need a cape, I need a superhero name... I need some sort of secret identity. So if you could give me a call back with that it would be much appreciated. All right, thank you brother."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted, 

Its Brenden. I just bought an RV and I'm gonna go to Indianapolis this weekend, I was hoping you would come with me. Anyways I'll call you later, bye."

-Brenden McBrayer

"Hey Ted, 

Its Brenden. I'm stuck in a copy of Moby Dick in the downtown municipal library. Its kinda like that movie Pagemaster with Macaulay Culkin. I have a copy of Catcher in the Rye with me, and he's trying to help me escape. But it would really help if you would go downtown and rent that copy of that book so that someone doesn't take me home. It would be much appreciated. All right, thanks a lot brother, bye."

26 dang

So I turned 26 the other day. This was the first time I've celebrated a birthday while not in Reno. So my expectations for the day were fairly low. I pictured myself sitting in my room all day checking myspace over and over again. But it actually turned out pretty good. My friends took care of me. 

On Tuesday Brendan called me while I was at work and said "Tonight you're hanging out with me, Jeanie, and Amanda. And Tomorrow I'm taking you out to lunch." So I showed up at Brenden's house that evening. Where he gave me my hat that he had thought was stolen. So that was exciting. We went and picked up Jeaners and Mandy and then headed to Fubonn the Asian supermaket/mall. But it was closed. So we decided to go to the nickel arcade. I played Indiana Jones Pinball (in honor of the pops), air hockey, Semi-truck driving game, several shooting games, and some others. 

The next day I went to sushi with Brenden, Jeaners, and Tim. They do a free meal on your birthday, so that was wicked tight. It didn't compare to Reno sushi, but it was fun.

That night a group of us went black light mini-golfing. It was a good time, and of course I won because, well, I'm awesome. After that we went back to my apartment and enjoyed some beers.

Thank you to everyone who participated in my birthday it was a great time and you guys are awesome. Here's what I got.

A Ninja Turtles Cereal Bowl

a ridiculously enormous box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

an Ewoks Lunchbox (Thank you Brenden and Jeaners)

I have cool friends 

Its my birthday!

go celebrate

My Dream/movie

So I had a curious dream the other night. I found it amusing. Here's what happened. I was in Reno, at church, with my family. And for some reason they were showing a movie instead of doing church. I don't know a whole lot about the the movie. But I do know enough to know that it was made in the late 80's or early 90's. I could tell because the three actors I recognized in the movie haven't done much acting since then. I could also tell that it would've been a badass movie.
The movie starred Nick Nolte from 48 hours, and Gary Busey who played the bad guy in Lethal Weapon. The two of them played hardcore criminal siblings teaming up to jack some fools up. In my dream I was super excited to see the two of them in a movie together because I have always thought that they were the same dude, trying to make extra money by making movies as two different dudes.

The Next scene had this guy, Reginald VelJohnson, who's best known for playing Carl in family matters, but he should be best known for his role as Al in Die Hard. I don't know where he fit into the movie except for the fact that he was for some reason yelling angrily at Barack Obama.
I was disappointed when I woke up and realized that this movie didn't exist. Someone should make it.

Pride

Tonight was a mostly uneventful night. But it was surprisingly eventful considering its uneventfulness. After getting off work I sat down to write a blog about the movie I invented in my dream last night. It was rad! Before I got started I got a phone call from a friend I hadn't talked to in a long time. Congratulations to you.
I hung out with Tim for the first time in quite a while. It resulted in too much Taco Bell, discovering that we both have blogs, watching the news, Mad Libs, and Nightmare on Elm Street 2. It was a good night, although Nightmare on Elm Street 2 isn't good.
At one point in the night we somehow started talking about the random text message I got today that said "I'm proud of you." Tim made the hilarious comment "I haven't done anything I'm proud of in the past 48 hours."
After Tim left I started reading through some of his old blog posts (that sounds creepy to me, but its not). It made me admire him, it made me proud of him. Sometimes I forget to admire my friends, its nice to remember the awesome kind of people they are. Not just awesome like fun to hang out with but awesome like exceptional.
Maybe tomorrow you'll hear about my sweet dream/movie

BrainFreeze

So I was gonna tell the story about the time I got brainfreeze on the freeway and I couldn't see and I thought I was gonna get in an accident because I was blinded by my tears. But I decided against it. Here's my reasoning. Lately that seems to be like my favorite story to tell, which initially seems like a good reason to share it with the world (because I know everyone reads my blog, people can't stop talking about it, its a hit! right?) via my blog. However, I realize that I'm much more funny in person. So I'm gonna keep that one up my sleeve. I'll use it as the hilarious story I use to impress girls on dates. So if you're really interested in hearing about my brainfreeze you'll have to date me...ladies?

Anti-Oregon

Recently I've come to the realization that I miss doing graphic design. Not That I want to do it professionally, I actually think that would suck, but I do enjoy it. So I've been taking whatever opportunities I get to do some design work, I've also been brainstorming ideas. My most recent idea is an anti-Oregon t-shirt campaign (shout out to Mike Brown). To all of my Oregonian friends, don't get too upset. I don't hate Oregon by any means, I just think that they do things weird here, namely driving and driving related activities. I also think more attention needs to be brought to the things that Oregon is bad at. 

So Here's what I've got so far

"I pump my own gas"

"I drive 75"

"I do u-turns"

let me know if you have any other ideas for me of why Oregon's stupid
