Don't mess with the Zohan!!!



I'm sad to report that I thought Zohan could have been a little better. Tiff and I walked out of it because it had to much sexual humor. So I highly discourage people to see it.

Friends


What is it with friends that are willing to do anything to make you laugh? I find that my closest friends would pretty much do anything just short of taking their life to make me laugh everything from wearing wierd things to taking odd pictures.

Catch Phrase

"EXCUUUSE ME, I'll be Back, I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse, and Show me the money!" What makes a catch phrase? So many movies create these iconic lines that seem to stick with us. I recently have even seen Youth Groups have their own phrases or even thier own games that they all are fimiliar with. It's as if they each have their own finger print.

What originally spawned this thought was the excitement that came from repeating a certain phrase. As students were entering the youth room I was given the responsibility to let them know where the food was. Well we had chicken this evening and I began telling everyone there's "Chicken in the Gym." It then started to turn into a mini rap that didn't have much accept the repeating line, "Chicken in the Gym, Chicken in the Gym, watcha gonna do to that Chicken in the Gym?" Followed by the reponse (from the students), "Eat it?!" I began to ponder that a few summers ago a very similar event occured when myself and some students were eating corn. Some how we began a song that involved, "Butter on the Corn!"

Now I don't know if catch phrases can be forced but they seem to offer memories of events of our Life. For me I think of moments that involve everything from Toilet Paper Ninjas to Poke-A-Pine give so much great memories of my youth groups years as well as humorous catch phrases that no one knows except for a select few.
If you have some stories of catch phrases share your stories and thoughts.

Memphis is like no other!!!

Wow, so far what an experince. Tiffany and I have been getting use to all the kindness and of course the southern hospitality. It' s like nothing I've experienced. People I've met across the country have never been rude by any means it's just that there is something different a good different. I believe because I've my experince from Cali I questioned if it was legit or not. But so far people are really genuine. And Beale street was entertaining. Tiff and I were walking down the street when all of a sudden she say's, "Hey, there's a guy flipping down the street!" I casually looked up to my surprise to find just that. I thought it was really strange but the same way we have Jack Sparrow wannabes walking in Hollywood they have "Flippers."

Starting the Blogging Revolution!!!

So I recently thought to myself, "Self?" Why aren't you blogging yet? I am constantly reading others and thought that I should take the time to do so. I no longer want to miss out on the oppurtunities to let the world now what is happening from Jacen Solo (currently in the second Legacy of the Force Book, I'm reading) to Why Jesus is always on my mind and is constantly challenging me. Well for now I hope I can sort all this out till then Via Con Dios.

Leaving Las Fresno

Well Tiff and I took our overpriced U-Haul and made our way to the fabulous Las Vegas. The gas prices were insane as we made it to Las Vegas. Tiffany found the gas prices hilarious and couldn't help but take a pic.



After we got to the motel we thought it would be fun to see the strip Tiffany's place of birth for those of you not in the know.

Our first stop was the Peppermill kinda of a Neon infected Denny's and they had the FireGrill in the Back a really romantic place for snacks we had the Sampler.





We then had a sleep in day since we were so tired from packing and driving the day earlier. We started making our way out of Las Vegas when our beautiful Cats Lois and Clark started to seem fussy so, we took them to thier first Vet visit for sleeping pills Thanks to Gary Olsby for the tip. We ended up finding a Vet, in the same town Tiffany spent the first couple years of her life. Henderson, NV.



The funny story is that Lois and Clark both had to have thier temparature taken. Clark seemed fine when they did the Rectal Thermomator, well the moment Lois felt something she immediatly leapt into the air and decided to attach her claws deep into my flesh. Well I wasn't too happy but Lois wasn't going to let them take her temp. She's a fighter.

We then stopped at this delicious Mexican Food place, it reminded me of Maria's Taco Shop back home in Fresno on Shaw and West, it was mmMM Good.

Yet I was still hungry so I took a big bite out of this hotdog.



That was the best Human Size Hotdog I've ever had. Yes, I've had more than one.

We were excited because we were going to go over Hoover Dam and niether one of us had ever been and we took this picture overlooking the Lake.



Then we started going through the check point and they wouldn't let us through because they needed to see the back of our very packed U-Haul. So we had a crazy detour. Then stayed the night in FlagStaff. I got a little hungry that night and almost ate Lois.



That next day was one of Tiffany's and My favorites as we checked out Meteor Crater. Apparently they say a Meteor hit it Millions of years ago I think it would be funny if God just left a thumb print to through all the scientist off. Because they can't find where the Meteor is from the Crater. Creepy????!!!!




That's my Beautiful Gal.

After this we tried to drive pretty much through New Mexico We realized it wasn't to much better than the First one. So next time we will take you through what we've been doing in the INFAMOUS.....
