Little Christmas traditions.

My favorite Christmas tradition would be on Christmas eve. My little brother and I would sleep for 5 hours, tops! Whoever woke up first would wake the other (little bro always woke me up), this usually happens around 3am. Then we would dig through our stockings which hung over on the staircase! Mom and Dad always put puzzles and games in them to keep us busy, and would slip in a snack in to keep us out of the pantries. The result of this was my parents finding us passed-out on the couch with stocking stuffers covering the living room floor. Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas!

Y.H.D.C.S.B.G

I have been challenged to create 7 stories, using these 7 words at the beginning of each sentence.  Challenge accepted! #AlisonBurke
1. yellow
2. hairy
3. dolphins
4. card
5. snuggle
6. BAM!
7. go


1. yellow
Yellow. Yellow is a color. Yellow is the color of the dragon living in my basement. Yellow, with it being a sweet and beautiful color, is not often associated with the ferocious dragon I have come to call Santagonti. Yellow is often placed in the category of sunshine and babies, not dragons. Yellow just happens to be Santagonti's favorite color. Yellow, you may ask? Yellow, yes, yellow is in deed his favorite color, for a good reason I may add. Yellow gnomes, you see, are a dragons favorite food! Yellow gnomes eh, bet you didn't know that! Yellow, in my opinion, is an understated color that should be seen as a fierce and dragon-tastic color! The End

2. hairy

Hairy Monsters live under my bed. Hairy Monsters want to eat my head. Hairy Monsters are a dangerous type. Hairy Monsters are known to bite. Hairy Monster all giant and strong. Hairy Monsters sing Beatles songs. Hairy Monsters favor blue eyed blondes. Hairy Monsters hunt in ponds. Hairy Monsters a poem I wrote. Hairy Monster has slit his throat. Hairy Monsters big and small. Hairy Monsters I love them all. The End.


3. dolphins

Dolphins can talk. Dolphins have been speaking for years, but we humans have failed to take the time to listen to what they have to say. Dolphins have been trying to tell us to exterminate shark since forever. Dolphins are quite the smart bunch. Dolphins do in fact have the ability to reach out to us, but in fear of scaring us away or having us all check ourselves into mental institutions they have remained silent. Dolphins know the danger of the these deep sea monsters we call sharks, and I for one think we need to team up with these dolphins to eliminate these evil sharks. Dolphins will rule the world. The End

4. card
Card was the name of a young man who lived on the east-side of the state of Maine in a town called Pinchford. Card lived there with his wife, Sophie. Card was a writer for the local paper, and Sophie was a freelance journalist. Card and Sophie were loved by all the towns people, and were invited to all the parties. Card was planning on throwing a New Years Eve party for the town, but something was about to happen that Card was not expecting. Card, you see, had a pretty rough past: with always being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Card used to live in the streets of New York, dirty dangerous, and filled with unlikely adventure. Card had just turned 18 and thought it was a good idea to go with his, poorly chosen, friends to this abandoned house. (Card, are you stupid??) Card and his band of misfits arrive at the house only to find it burned down. Card was upset to say the least, but what made him even more unsettled was the figure standing behind the pile of burned up home. Card called out to see if the mysterious figure would answer: nothing. Card then proceeded to walk towards it, like any stupid teen in a horror flick would do. Card would soon grow to regret this decision. Card walked up slowly to the figure behind the home and what he saw was none other then the man who had killed his puppy back in 95!! Card was in tears of angry, and joy: anger at the man, joy at the fact that he can now do something about the ridiculous act this man committed. Card was about to beat the man to his death, but the man seemed to be laughing. Card yelled and asked why he was laughing, and to stop this instant! Card then heard something that no man ever wants to hear a mysterious man say: I will see you on New Years, 2012. Card then proceeded to bash the mans head with a stick, then he and his "friends" were on their way. Card had no memory of that night what soever, and the new years eve party went as planned. Card saw that all was going well so he stepped out on the porch to mingle with some guests. Card saw no one there? Card ran inside: they were all gone!? Card became frantic, thinking the town hated him. Card then saw the mysterious puppy killing man. Card screamed, Who are you, and where are my friends!?!?! Card heard the next sentence and shuddered like he had seen a ghost: "They are gone now and wont be coming back." Card broke down in tears. Card asked the man why he had done this, why he killed his puppy. Card looked up and the man had vanished. Card never figured out where his friends had gone, or why his puppy died, but to this day he roams the town in search for the mysterious man with the intentions of introducing him to his last breathes. The End

5. snuggle

Snuggle bear is the newest and greatest toy on the market today! Snuggle bear is the toy that children all over the world would kill for. Snuggle bear caused the worlds biggest riot in recorded history. Snuggle bear drove children to plunder through towns and lock up any one who refused to give them a snuggle bear. Snuggle bear ruined every life over the age of 7. Snuggle bears are now stored in a palace in Indonesia where the toddlers rule over the world. Snuggle bears will be destroyed and the toddlers will soon enough be put in time out. Snuggles bears may have ruined the world for now, but come nap time we elders will rise with a vengeance. The End


6. BAM

BAM, BAM, BAM!! 
"BAM, Billy what on earth are you doing?" 
BAM, your dead!
BAM I'm dead, how am I talking if im dead??
BAM, BAM, BAM, die evil doer!
BAM!
.......bam, ba-ba-am....

The End

Go. Go to the house on the corner of Apple St. Go enter the house through the backdoor. Go explore the house for I have hidden a treasure of great meaning within it. Go to the front and to the back. Go to the back to the front. Go look under sofas, and beds, and tables. Go find what I have hidden. Go get what you have found and bring it to me. Go, now I must enjoy my biscuits with, asdlkjdfiji, breathe ommm biscuits ain't for jam!!! The End

NYC: Where Santas roam free and Bearded men drive.

This past saturday I was in New York City for a day along with thousands of IMPOSTOR Santas, who were loud, rowdy, drunk, and absolutely hilarious. I felt a little left out...you know, being the minority of people not dress up as a christmas character. Many visit New York for the shopping experience, it's the obvious thing to do. So to contribute to this stereotype I made myself a delightful little bag of sweets, yes I bought candy (One of a select few items that when purchased can bring sheer joy to my face, the others being cameras, watches, rings, sunglasses and dresses. oh and make-up) Spending 20 minutes trying to get a taxi-cab is frustrating but makes for a good story to tell the family...I was about to sit in the middle of the street with a sign saying "Stop or I die due the impact of your vehicle. P.S I will have my friend be a witness of this murderous act that you committed and send you to jail." That plan fell through for obvious reasons. I will leave you with this crumb of advice: Don't stare at a mans beard, especially if the man is in a car, with another bearded man in the backseat.

Lisa Frank

The most inspirational paragraph I have feasted my eyes upon.

          "Lisa Frank is not the name of a woman, it is the name of a movement, a culture, a way of living. It is a theory, a concept, a belief in something greater than yourself. It is the belief that all girls are entitled to dolphins covered with rainbows, jewel-encrusted frogs, and unicorns in acid-trip colors hugging each other. It is the ideology that no notebook is complete until it literally hurts your eyes to look at from so much color saturation. It is the hope that no school supply, no matter how insignificant, will be left un-bedazzled. It is the knowledge that your eraser cap, and that of your granddaughter’s, and her granddaughter’s after her, will not be some boring little nub–it will be a diamond covered with butterflies in a rainbow of colors. It is the dream of a better tomorrow."

20 years of living.

November 26, 2011

I'm 20!! Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday I was a 16 years old dreaming of the day I could drive my own car, all by my lonesome. Now as I am 20 I wish that people would drive me around so I wouldn't have to spend money on this dag-on expensive gas!? This upcoming year of my life is going to spectacular, I can feel it in muh bones...

Evil Steam.

I'm never boiling water again!!! Never!!

You can give me wood, matches, and a field and I won't get burned. You give me noodles, a pot, and boiling water and you would think I was trying to boil my hand off. Steam is the devil of all water elements. As I type this my thumb is throbbing in excruciating pain. From this day on I will NEVER make noodles without the right protective gear aka supervision.

Bucket List #2

To spend one (or more) year(s) of my life traveling the world.

Documenting it as I go. 

Taking more pictures then my camera can contain. 

Meeting thousands of new people. 

Making memories. 

Trying new things.

 Longboarding in Spain. (When I learn). 

Collecting a million tourist stickers.

 Exploring the world God created to it's fullest. 

All I need is: a travel partner, time, camera, luggage, money, and a map :)

11/11/11

At 11:11pm I will, for the first time ever (upon this hour), make a wish. I see it as an event where I will wish for whatever earthly material thing I want! Oh the decisions that need to be made with in this next hour...

The Alarm Clock.

beep, beep, beep

Is there anyone out there who just anticipates the ringing, dinging, or beeping of their morning alarm clock?

 I am most certainly not one of those people. Don't get me wrong I love the morning. It's what goes on before my morning starts I can't tolerate. In many of my cases my alarm clock is considered the "ruiner of all awesome dreams." Why, you may ask? Allow me to tell you. I have never reached the climax point of any of my action filled dreams due to my alarm clock. It's as if it knows the exact point in my dream at which it would be most impactful to ruin!? In most cases I frantically hit snooze in hopes of completing my dream within the next five minutes, but I can never seem to re-open the dream no matter how hard I try. It is tragic really. Every morning I am getting awoken by this screaming inconsiderate machine whose life purpose is to interrupt my slumber. Although I see many annoying aspects to the alarm clock they were obviously designed for a practical purpose: waking you up so you wont be late for life-stuff. But that is not really a good enough pro for me to begin to love my alarm clock. So I took it upon myself to design a new way of looking at the alarm clock to make it seem more enjoyable. 

This method may not work for everybody, but if your like me it will work!

It's simple really. Just pretend the alarm clock is a bomb. A bomb that if detonated will destroy the entire world, and the only one who qualifies to disarm the bomb is you. So basically you save the planet every morning. You have been given such a great responsibility and I for one would not want to let the world explode because I was sleepy. 

And that is my solution for the dreadful alarm clock.

iPod+iTunes+NewUpdateThatMessedEverythingUp= My night

I had my mind set on going to bed early tonight...Nope! 

I bought some new tunes for the ole' iPod and thought I should sync them. First of all my iPod has already been slow and acting weird due to this new iOS5 update. So halfway through the sync it cancels...then half my songs were light gray instead of black. (Black-Playable. Gray- Not playable) What gives Apple!? So then I restore my iPod. The past 25 minutes went like this.

7 mins remaining.

7 mins later...5 mins remaining

5 mins later...6 mins remaining

6 mins later...2 mins remaining

*joy*

2 mins later...5 mins remaining

*WHAT THE CRAP!?*

2 mins later...Restore finished.

Now updating.

Present...Still waiting, I guess I will write a post.

And the whole time this is going on I can't even watch Vimeo because I left my playlist playing and am unable to pause/stop/mute it will it is restoring/re-updating... It's Christmas music.

Goodnight.

A Jubilee

I would never steal cookies out of this jar. NEVER!

This morning I went to a jubilee.

Me at the Jubilee.

Little miss spider.

This was the expression I had on my face.

I'm driving home from work and I thought since the weather was so awesome I would roll my windows down. As I'm driving I feel what, I thought was, my hair whipping my face due to the wind. I go to swipe my wind blown hair away from my face and what I swiped was actually a spider frolicking on my face. Oh no this is not ok. #TheMostFrighteningEventInMyLife

I had a dream.

Reasons that being a Christian is awesome #2047- You have the most epic dreams.

Im sitting in my favorite chair on a cool crisp morning with my Bible and cup of piping hot tea. I begin to read the story of Lazarus. (For those who aren't familiar his story, he was as dead as a rock and Jesus came and brought him back to life!) I got as far as when Jesus commanded lazarus to get up and come out of the tomb and then *Bam* There I am standing in a big tomb with a man who just rose from the dead. He had cloth wrapped all around him like mummy and I remember it not smelling to great. After helping Lazarus up from the ground I guided him to the entrance of the tomb to the joyful cheering crowd awaiting his appearance. I was basking in the moment when I noticed that Lazarus was trying to free himself from the cloth around his body and was failing at the attempt. So I quickly searched for and eventually found a knife thinking I could cut him out. Trying my hardest I just couldn't free Lazarus from the cloth that had imprisoned him. The crowd began to yell at me saying I ruined the bible story, and I messed everything up. My response to the hateful remarks was a bucket full of tears and a sense of failure. Then I woke up.
