Sometimes we forget...

So I've been here over a year and have gotten used to how things are, so much so that I've forgotten how weird it really is:

Lex: hey scott

Lex: when you get a chance, mind taking a peek at chad's box - 472K, just want to know if it corphosted/imaged right (machine facing door right across massage chair by the ping pong table)

hows that for description :P

Scott: sounds like only something you could say at google

Lex: lol very true
Scott: you forgot to mention the game console!

I guess the desk number would've sufficed but sometimes we're too busy and we get tired of looking at maps, ya know? But yeah, crazy stuff!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

So while everyone was getting all buzzed up and liquored out on Christmas, I got us some snacks and chilled out at home with Jaime and the kids. Actually we got snowed in and the roads were mostly slick with ice if not covered under a foot or more of snow. But yeah, perfect for me since I enjoy just hanging out at home.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us to you all!

Mom, Da and Syl - give each other and the kids big hugs for us please.
Al, Jan and kids - come check out the new place before heading back down to OR. As Frances would say, "Its bomb!" :P
Syl and Chris - Congratz!
JJ and Glen - Congratz!
Sil and Marcy - Congratz!

I can feel it already, this year's going to be awesome!!!!111oenoneone

I've always been one to avoid the band wagon, so instead of ending the year with a whoopin' big bang, I give you Aedin's thoughts on politics...

Aedin's dance off pt. 2!

There's just no stopping this kid! You'll have to max your volume and maybe mute around the 19 sec. mark (sorry couldn't help myself =)

OoOoOooohhh... lookit what I found!

1997

2000

She gets more beautiful and I get bigger... so unfair! I'd like to put up our latest pics but there wouldn't be enough space to fit me :P

Kids, kids and more kids!

Its been too long since I last saw Al, Jan and the kids. Really. Hmpf. Road trip soon! But in the meantime, a few p1x0rz;

aaaaand...

Things that annoy me

I feel the need, so...

/rant

As a parent:
- parents who smoke around their children. especially those in cars with windows rolled up and kid in car seat... aaarrrghhh!!! - I hope you trip and burn your mouth with your ciggie.
- parents who leave their kids locked in the car while they "run into the store for a few secs"
- parents running around screaming their kids name in malls, amusement parks, etc... - hey stupid, if you were paying attention in the first place, your kid wouldn't be lost
- parents who "try" to "discipline" their children in public - public humiliation works both ways

As a husband:
- seeing a couple arguing in public
- seeing a husband or wife ridicule his/her better half in public
= obviously all marriage issues have to be kept private

As a son:
- children talking back to their parents
= thanks mom and dad for making sure we turned out ok =)

As a sibling:
- grown up sibs who hold grudges against each other
= pls grow up (not my sibs and i, momma and daddy made sure of that as well)

As me:
- anything that does not make sense
- baggy pants
- typos
- loud fake laughs
- people who think they need to get 2 inches from your face in order to talk to you
- myspace (thats right, myspace annoys me)
- hacking - the phlegm type
- my Refaluwasch folks who record albums just for the sake of being heard... even when your dumb song doesn't make sense at all - please, if you're unsure, ask around. otherwise, don't. and please, be original. I have too much pride to let that one slide.

/end rant... for now.

Ok good. Now I can get back to blogging.

Refaluwasch Maas (Longowofisch)

This clip is dedicated to Tata Esto and to everyone involved in bringing this very unique group back.

Thanks especially to uncle Tom, brother Syl and many others for all their hard work in bringing these various families together from all over the island to share the Refaluwasch Traditional Maas with all. Thanks also to Kompaire Gus for the copy!!! Enjoy!
