i let the jeep sit for a day
went outside and it started right up like nothing ever happened
my jeep heals
like i said it would
in reference to my last post
hold on to your butts...
ok
went off roading up saddleback mountain with
Tom and tom's new truck named taco
zam?
gabe and camera
andy and camera
Mark and marks truck and marks girlfriend (her names meagan(the GF))
Jeep and shelby and quad (yet to be named, any ideas?)
we found a little challenge (little but not that little) so i went up it
its hard to tell, but i made it
then i decided to go down it to see how crazy it would be. 1-10 scale of insanity, what do you think?
and i made it down
so we're comin down the mountain, i think mark missed this part because he had to go a little early, but i go up a side trail that led away from the regular trail. i realize suddenly that i dont want to be over here.
so i charge through the trees/bushes/rocks/wildlife to get back to the regular trail
everythings going fine until sam starts screaming. next second, jeep's front right tire falls in a 3 foot by 2 foot ravine, and my front bumber slams into the dirt side of the slope
and i'm stuck with a smashed front end
some dudes stop and help us out by jacking up the front middle of the car, i dig out the wheel, and 5 guys jumped on the back rocking it up and down till my wheel got up and out of the ditch from hell and i got back on the road
minor casuality - my front bumper was wrecked so i decided to custom fabricate my 4bi into a mean looking SOB
what do you think. better or worse?
all together a pretty extreme sunday afternoon
but my car isnt really running right now, so i have to go get it over to the mechanic.
dont worry, jeep will be fine. it's probably already fixed itself by the time i'm done posting this blog
snooze it or lose it
i use to sleep alot. now i dont. this has directly effected how unbelievably comfortable my bed is in the morning
i turn on the light to my room, turn off Amber the Gecko's light, take out the keys, wallet, cell phone, and whatever else that has found its way into my pockets, turn on the tv which already has jurassic park or Independence Day on a 24/7 loop, plug in the phone charger, turn on the fan, turn off my room light, 30 minute sleep mode on the tv, and go to sleep
i'm surprised that i've never had a dream about saving the world, fighting dinosaurs, or flying planes next to the president and will smith
i've woken up in the night trying to find my ringing phone. i find it on my bed and start talking, only to realize no one called, the phone never rang and i'm not even holding anything
i once thought a giant fat hamster was sitting in the chair in my room
i once thought there were cowboys digging for gold in the night in the atrium at my house, and one of them was holding a cup of coffee
i once thought a giant spider was eating my dresser (i know allison, spiders are scary)
i once thought a giant iguana was on my chest staring me in the eyes. but then i totally realized that was actually real (R.I.P. iggy)
animal names that i regret, here they are:
browny
iggy
stripey
mother
turtle
crazy legs
noodle
einstein
normal
its about time i wrote about this
this is not normally (normandy, no brandy?) my writing style, but i felt this story needs to be told in written format (floor mat, from matt?)
here it goes
a while ago when i worked at the hotel, (i worked at a hotel, ask me about sweet hotels) i met this girl named miranda in the cafeteria. a cute girl, seemed pretty cool, i got her number to hang out sometime. (which btw is a huge deal for me because i can never do that)
so she quits the hotel the next day and i call her and we're like "yea lets hang out"
she lives in san clemente is where she lives
i go pick her up at like, 9, and had nothing planned. (i didnt see it as a date, and i never really like to plan things). she said she wanted to go see this one movie. i thought it was a good idea, why not you know (y not u no, y not uno?)
but we decided to walk along the pier first. we walk and talk, and walk back and she points out where she works now. its a bed and breakfast that her uncle owns. its right there on the pier pretty much
next thing i know, people are yelling. two of her aunts and uncles were up on the roof getting slammed/wasted/drunk/sloshed/trashed/demolished. lots of alchohol
2 hours later i find myself sitting at the tables with the family realizing i had been there for the most unbearably awkward 2 hours of my life.
examples of what was said by the aunts to make it awkward -
"yea we're having sex in a while"
"your boobs are hot"
"that hot tub has done wonders to our sex life"
"i can totally see yor *bleeep* "
"dont get wiskey *beeeep* before we get to bed"
yeaaaa....holy crap so awkward. but it gets better. i decided to just sum up the following conversation by just writing what was said. you'll catch on who was who
"so luke. what the hell were you thinking taking my niece to the movies on a first date"
"uhhhh, well she wanted to go see that one movie"
"you cant talk in a movie, you probably just wanted to hook up. its a first date moron"
"well, it's not really a-"
"men are such idiots. all they want is action on the first date"
"well, no. i mean, this wasnt-"
"what do you do anyway"
"i work at the hotel"
"for how long"
"like, 2 years now"
"do you think that jobs going anywhere"
"well, its just a temp job really"
"my husband buys houses all the time. we have alot of money in this family"
"...cool"
"you think you can actually provide for my niece with some dead end job?"
"what, wait hold on"
"if you touch my niece tonight i will rip your balls off"
and it went on like that for 2 more hours
talked to miranda once after that. lets just say it didnt work out
so i was at bj's with my family sunday night and she was sitting at the table across from us facing me
if you know me, you know i love awkward. but come on
catalina shmatalina
pizza's in the oven cooking. but i've got to wait. i'm waiting for something thats already here
i got a haircut yesterday that i really dont like. its ok, not horrible, but not at all what i wanted. its like i went to get a crazy pirate ship tattoo, and the dude drew a monkey. i can live with it, but come on
if html was on a license plate, i would think
1. hotmail
2. hot male
3. hate mail
4. hate males
fires are pretty sweet to look at, but thats the end of the line for enjoying fires. if they effect your life in any way, they suck
i'm an electricians assistant now during the week. its pretty cool. my mom is glad that i got the job, but wont let me get a motorcycle. says its to dangerous because of other people on the road. which it is. but around 600 people die a year from electrocution accidents on the job, with 3,600 disabling injuries and 4000 normal injuries. 2,284 people died in 98 from motorcycle accidents, half of them were drunk, another portion was speeding, and half of the deaths were simply because someone wasnt wearing a helmet
i dont know how to not get electrocuted, but i do know how to -
1. not be drunk
2. wear a helmet
3. not speed
now all i need to do is win an argument with my mom
i met someone from the band bad religion. i wasnt stoked about this really, kind of like "this guy is famous i guess". but i was way more stoked to just talk about lost with him for an hour. that just made me stoked about lost, not bad religion
i also met the tour manager for korn. he was swedish i think. small mouth, and couldnt understand anything he said. cool tattoos though. i can understand that
oh yea, and korn was practicing in the next room. they had an emergency delivery of energy drinks. dudes came running in and everything. i could imagine the order
"korn is low on energy, and are kinda thirsty. what do you have to offer"
and the dude recieving the call had the perfect solution
and was so stoked about it
A little about my family
i noticed yesterday that my family doesnt know one basic fundamental asset of having a conversation
*if you are not in the same room when conversing, raise your voice*
it seems that at least once a day, someone tries to spark conversation, but walks right on out of the room without changing the volume of their voice
or i will hear a "luke..asdhf....mumble mumble mumble" from down the hall when i'm in the garage, or in my room. somewhat frustrating
i'll be in the kitchen, my mom walks by in the hall - "hey luke, can you make sure to do this and ....." thats where she has entered her bedroom and closed the door. and still continues to speak as if i'm right there
i'm in my room watching a movie, katelin (one of my sisters) walks by "mumble mumble Luke mumble asdhnk". why did i not understand? because she had already gone in the garage and started talking to me
trivial, yes, but i feel like my household should have captions at all time. just how i like to watch my movies.
The Goodwill strikes again (i also learned how to do links)
Well today me, Jared Slaybaugh, and Brad Owens went to the Goodwill to pick up an ironing board. see image
we started looking at movies and i came across a tasty treat
in this goldie, i have found great morals and a host of cameos
if you ever watch lost, then you might recognize the dude that drives the limo in the beggining of the movie
you should check it out
to work or not to work at starbucks
seriously
should i try and get a job at starbucks
extra cash, and something to do during the week when school is done
a bunch of my friends work there already
if not there, then any other suggestions?
also, should i get a vespa
decisions decisions decisions
its time to write, because its time to sleep
well, i'm just going to speak my mind as always, so here it goes
on the night i turned 21, i drove home at 1am eating chips and salsa, and drinking a diet coke while listening, wait actually, blasting DMB, from Biola College. I'll never forget seeing the open freeway and thinking "This kicks ass"
small fear of mine --- waking up to discover ivy had grown over my legs and chest
my friend dave can do handstands in the spa. sure its totally rightous, but spas are for relaxing, not aerobics
i misspell things alot, but i'm also really stubborn. the two never really conflict with each other. the two never really battle each other. my illiteracy never wars against my stubbornality
i used to clean carpets. one time i was cleaning a spot with a powerful acid on a rag, then shoved the rag in my pocket. it soaked through my jeans and chemicaly burned my thigh. i came to the conclusion that i needed to blame the chemical for being stupid and sneaky
i'll be going to sleep soon, but not before watching at least 30 minutes of ID4. (independence day)
sometimes i find that the solution to problems in my life are usually solved by the people that are already in my life, and i'm just kind of lame for not realizing it sooner. its always the best to trust God, but sometimes you need to put faith in your friends to keep the trust in God. a conversation goes miles, but dishonesty ends up nowhere
my jeep is covered in mud. its been a week. i catch people staring at me and shaking their heads. i love spiting people (spiting - to spite). so i might just go another week as long as tom, andy, taylor, gabe and ryan hodge stop drawing swasticas, racial slurs, male genitalia, and cus words on all my windows in the dirt
jim jam jamin jupiters i'm off to bed
God gave me a birthday present
today, well actually yesterday, well actually today, God straight up gave me a birthday present
and i dont mean like, oh God gave us all a birthday present by dying on the cross, kind of present
for the past few days i've totally been stressing about money. i dont have any, and i need alot...like right now. lots of bills
before trying to go to bed saturday night (which proved unsuccesful because i didnt sleep a wink) i finally gave up and asked God to take care of it. i was tired of worrying about the money sitch
after a long night, sunday came with no money to my name, no soon to be arriving paychecks, an empty gas tank and a ton of stuff to do. so naturally, i put it on credit and just prayed that i get money before overdrafts
i'm up at 5, work till 12, go home and eat, leave at 1 and go pick up stuff for this show i was doing sound for at Biola, which i totally thought i was just doing a favor for someone(later found out i was getting paid). i get there and set up and do the show. then tear it all down. done at 1230, right into my 21st birthday. me and this dude chase celebrate
then the dude mitchel (got me to do this whole thing) walks up and gives me a check that covered my gas there and the overdraft fee
It was almost like i heard him laughing when i saw the check, and my jaw dropped
happy birthday to me
Telling it how it is it is
if i leave the sliding glass door open in my room, turtles sneak in
i have a gecko in my room and on my arm. they both have names. i name geckos
i take up as much of the intersection as possible when i make u-turns just so i know i'm right when someone gets mad at me. i'm making a u-turn, i can do whatever i freakin want
one of my teachers raises the pitch of his voice when he turns to the whiteboard. i think he means to get louder, but it doesnt really happen like that. since he moves so slow (i think its because he's focusing on his voice) its like some kind of vocal roller coaster
i dont find anything funny about lightbulbs. so why are there so many jokes about them
a man's in the market, a terrorist leaps over the aisle, lands in front of him, and yells "i'm attacking you". an eagle then soars down, grabs the terrorist and feeds him to her newborn babys. the end
my credit card has an eagle on it. no one's ever stolen it either. what does that tell you? eagles bite thieves and thieves hate justice
mouse pads. gross
punch punch kick kick punch punch kick punch
someone tell me honestly if they remember that game and no its not some fighting game

taxidermy just sounds boring
my 30g ipod's screen broke. it has instantly become a glorified shuffle.
SHUFFLE -awkward to use, cant quite commit to investing in a real ipod, have to defend to all your friends on the possible benefits of keeping it around
i'm pretty sure my gecko eats the crickets out of anger more then hunger
i want to put my fist through a wall because i can think of so many cool stories of how it happened. ie - "a jackrabbit stole my last ringpop out of my halloween bag, so i punched a wall"
or
"jet li slept on my bed so i woke him up by spilling salsa over his legs, so he punched the wall"
or
"golum tried stealing the ringpop from jet li on mount doom with hobbitses, so i punched the wall"
my shoes are cool, i mean i like em, but who doesnt want new shoes
i sprayed vanilla car scent in my room, and it smelled like cat urine. car scents are not to be used in bedrooms

"are you reading the dictionary?"
"let me introduce you to my team: blade, laser, blazer, me'shell, and fran stalinoshanaskalivish"
"make your jokes, you little jokey, joker-joke maker"
"lets bounce. cobras!"
"if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"
"necessary? is it necessary to drink my own urine? no, buts its sterile, and i like the taste"
"if you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball"
"come on kate, time to put your mouth where our balls are"
"well its called the freedom of information act. i guess those hippies got something right! just kidding. but seriously"
"nobody makes me bleed my own blood"
"reminder, dyslexic players will not be allowed on the court"
"oh thats me taking the bull by the horns. its a metaphor. but it really happened"
"'L' is for love!"
i can quote this movie for days
go watch it and enjoy, cuz i am. enjoying. i'm enjoying the movie. right now, i'm enjoying the movie by watching it
Heart rate monitors
today i went to the oral surgeon to get two of my wisdom teeth pulled out.
the one at the bottom left part of my jaw was a liiiiittttlllee crooked. so they decided to pull the one on top as well, probably just for kicks.
so i get there today, and they sit me in this room facing a window that looks out onto the street. at once i see a truck covered in mud and want to go off roading
second, they tell me i'll be knocked out (not to be confused with knocked up) using an I.V. drip. i start laughing hysterically. dont know why. i guess its always been my response to anything medical related that freaks me out.
so i'm just giggling away while she is putting little heart rate things on my wrists and arms. i notice at once that everything i do effects the heart rate monitor on the wall that looked like this
so i squeeze my hand and it beeps. oh and btw, my resting heartrate is below 40bpm. when your heart rate drops below 43 on this machine, it considers you dead i guess, so lets just say the nurse was getting pissed at me cuz she had to keep resetting the machine. average american resting heart rate is 70bpm
to keep my heart rate up, and my mind off the enevitable, i played songs on the heart rate monitor by squeezing my hand to a beat in my head
thank you queen for blessing my life with "another one bites the dust"
as i was in mid-jam the doctor came in and told me to pretty much knock it off. i started back up the giggles when he started talking needles. he gave me a frustrated look, shoved it in my arm and told me that i better have a good dream ready
the next thing i remember (as i'm trying to recall, i'm starting to laugh again) my mom and the nurse were helping me to the car.
wierdest event of my life
now i'm watching spaceballs and eating my favorite kind of ice cream that looks alot like the food from "hook"
and i have no idea why random words in this blog are highlighted yellow

the movie "thornbirds" is an overglamorized soap opera with a bad soundtrack
all green pants should be burned in another country, like alaska
if a little kid started making fun of me at the beach, i would not hesitate to spray sand directly into his evil little eyes. no matter the age
any cowboy who couldnt grow a mustach shouldnt be considered anything less then useless
i hope whoever wrote the evolution book i'm reading right now has gotten some kind of STD
after season 5, not a single show on television doesn't suck. ie gilmore girls

how to be a succesful musician
We were practicing today (summer wilshire) and we came up with a full proof plan to become rich.
we would make one CD and sell it for one billion dollars
then we would put it up on ebay
but we want to do it soon, so we gave ourselves 1 year to make it happen. but no one will pay a billion dollars for one CD. we know that. we're not stupid
but people will pay a dollar a song
so in one year we will put out a CD with one billion songs. in order to make this happen we decided to split up the work. each of us will write two hundred million songs this year.
but we have to pace ourselves so we dont get burned out. so i calculated it out that each of us have to write three hundred and eighty songs every minute for the next year
the beatles wrote about five hundred songs in their six year run. thats only 0.000159th of a song every minute. what kind of songwriter cant even put out over three hundred songs a minute. pffft
my first song is going to be a rap/pop ballad about being poor in a semi-racial coastal village in new guena
No i dont want these earmuffs
i dont want these because i dont want to look like this ever in my life.
if i die by electrocution i dont think i'd want some guy poking me with a giant candy cane
listen to Terminal
listen to Courage Call
listen to Summer Wilshire
listen to The Recieving End Of Sirens
listen to Avner
