Watchmen and pong.

Hey everyone!

My weekend was a fun one for sure. On Friday, my friends and I went and watched the superhero movie “Watchmen”. It was a good really good movie, though pretty erratic. It seemed as though the scenes switched around way too much. Also, the music choice was weak at best. Weird songs during amazing fight scenes kind of took the focus off of the bone crushing action. The effects and fighting were amazing though. The movie was also very gory. A few bodies blew up…never a bad thing in any movie.

On Saturday, my friend’s wife had her birthday party. Two beer pong tables = too much fun. Translation for Kevo…Two Beirut tables = too much fun. Overall I went 4-1 with my friend and 4-0 with his sister. That’s right, 9 games. It really isn’t that much when you consider I won 8, so I didn’t drink as much as I could have.

Now for an update on my track team. We had track meets last night and last Wednesday. The meet on last Wednesday was our first League competition and I’m proud to say that we won. We had multiple people who placed first in more than 3 events. We are looking to win our league for the second year in a row. Last night was just a practice meet for us and a lot of our members did not attend due to college prep meetings.

Well that is it for me. Thanks for stopping in!

Meetings and Track Meets

Hello there friends! I hope everyone is doing good out there. I have been super busy for the last two weeks, so i haven't posted in a while.

I am not sure if I have mentioned this or not, but I am a teacher and I coach the Track and Field team at my high school. This week is the week that we have our annual meetings about ESLR's which are "Expected Schoolwide Learnign Results." Im not going to get into it too much, but it forces teachers to do alot more work. Not fun...not fun at all.

Coaching my Track team, however, is fun. We have had two meets so far. I mainly coach the jumpers (long jump and triple jump) and the shot putters. I am proud to say that our team is very good. We have some athletes who could really make it far. I am especially proud of the improvement of the athletes I work directly with. They are already at the level that they left off on last year and it is only two weeks into the season. I can only see more improvement in their future.

Other than that, last weekend I went to santa clarita to film the first of multiple short films dubbed "Ninja Vs. Kung-foo" where i play a Kung-foo master and my buddy mike plays a ninja who breaks into my house. It is funny. My acting...even more funny.

Anyway guys and gals, I have to get back to class. Nutrition break is over. I bid you Adieu.

Guns, Tanks, and Dirt Bikes...OH MY!

Hello everyone. Its time to hear what I did over the weekend. Its funny that i say weekend, because everything really happened in a 20 hour span.

During the week, a friend of mine,Shay, that i recently started hanging out with again,(we went our separate ways after high school, but moved back to the area around the same time) planned a "guys day" with him, his brother Warren, and myself. We decided to start early to fit in as much as possible. And boy did we...here is how our day went.

8:00 a.m.- I go pick up Warren and drive out to four corners where my family owns property. We meet Shay at my dad's shop and prepare to go shooting. First, however, we decided to ride on my dad's tank. It is an APC-114 (Armored Personel Carrier). It is a blast! It really is all that is manly in this world; a loud hunk of steel that can run over any thing at any time. If that doesnt get your testosterone pumping, then i dont know what will!

9:00 a.m.- After we were done riding the tank, we decided it was time to shoot. I brought out my S&W 40 and my Browning 9mm, Shay brought his Glock 9. We then began to search for bottles and load them in my jeep. After we found enough to satisfy us, we took them out into the desert and starting setting up our make-shift shooting range. Then we proceeded to shoot away. It was a good time, talking and telling stories. My aim was average, i was satisfied with it. Afterwards, we romped through the desert in my jeep and just shot the shit.

12:00 p.m.- Warren had informed us earlier that he had to work at noon, so when we noticed it was already noon and we were still shooting, we were surprised. He called to inform his work that he would be late, only to find out that he didnt have to work until 4:00 p.m. Naturally, we were stoked! Since we were all pretty much done shooting we decided to move on to our next activity, riding dirtbikes.

This was, in my opinion, the funnest part of the day. This was the first time in about eight years that i rode a dirtbike. I got in a pretty bad accident on a dirt bike and hadnt riden since. It took me alot to get back on, but i am sure glad i did! We decided we were a dirt bike gang. Our name is too vulgar to say in this blog but it incorperates the first letter of our names (D,S,W).

During this time, my buddy Sean from San Diego (a good friend of Frank and me) called me and told me he was going to be in town for a wedding reception. Small world! We decided to meet up at a later time that night.

3:30 p.m.- It was time to take Warren to work, so we put the dirt bikes away and headed out. After dropping Warren off, me and Shay decided to go to Domingo's and have a beer or two while waiting for Warren to get off work. At this time, Sean called me and told me he wanted to hang out for a little bit. He and his girlfriend met Shay and I at Domingo's and had some drinks with us. It was nice fun hanging out with new friends and old friends.

8:00 p.m.- The 12 hour mark came just as Warren picked us up from Domingo's. We were noticably buzzed and lookin for the next party. Shay's wife called and said she wanted to go to a bar in Silver Lakes, the community that Shay lives. I was totally down with this, so we all rolled out there. For the rest of the night, we partied at two different bars and had a great time.

4:00 a.m.- We closed the bar down and hung out for a while after hours. We finally went home and went to bed around 4. It was a great night, but that meant Sunday was recovery day....ooh getting old.

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope I didnt ramble too much!
