1. How did you know EC was "the one"? Like everyone else has said, I cannot pin it down to one specific moment. I probably knew sometime during the summer of 2001 that she was the one. She had tore my heart out and shit on it prior to that summer, but I got her back and figured it out from there. I wanted her to be the one long before the summer of 2001.
2. Favorite color? Navy Blue is currently my favorite color...I guess you could say that it is a man thing. Green was my favorite color growing up. Grey is also a good color. I wear alot if not nothing but grey t-shirts and both of our vehicles are grey.
3. Favorite memory from Chowan? Winning a horseshoe tournament with Karl in 5 throws. Winning 26+ straight games of beer pong at Tak's and then destroying the baseball pitchers in 6 throws (3 double backs). Losing a fight with a street sign. Wiffle ball. Giving my graduation speech.
4. When do you think you two will spawn another genius baby? Well, we have to hope and see that Evan is a genius before we have another, but I am sure he can meet our expectations. I will have to say by the Spring or Summer of 2009, we will spawn the next "girl" genius. You never know, things could happen sooner.

1-If you could have any coaching job in the world - where would it be and why? At a local high school, coaching my daughter's basketball team to a state championship. I have always dreamed of being in that situation. Second choice would be at any D1 school winning a men's or women's championship.
2-Pick a song or two that best describes you and tell why. It was your song by Garth Brooks. I have always been a momma's boy and done everything for my mom. I still do the things that I do for other people and I find my strength in them. I love this bar and Let's get drunk and be somebody, both by Toby Keith. No, I am not an alcoholic...I just like hanging out and socially drinking with others. I also still dream to open my own bar.
3-What was high school like for you? High school was like my first semester at Chowan. I was a nobody who got by being a nerd with connections. I made stellar grades in HS, did not hang out, had no girlfriend, and was active in sports. First semester of Chowan HS...stellar grades, did not hang out, no girlfriend, and was active in the athletic program. Who knew that I would be as awesome as I am today?

What is your favorite thing about our house? That it is a house and not a townhouse (attached to another house). The only time in my 25 (almost 26) years of life I have not lived in a real house was in the college dorms, our first apartment, and our first townhouse. My favorite rooms are the office and the man room.
What is your favorite thing about being a dad? My favorite things about being a dad is watching Evan laugh and respond to me like he does to no one else. I also like to think about the things that I will be able to share with him that others cannot.
I hope that satisfies everyone. PEACE MONKEYS!

I will play
Being that I never have anything to blog about. I am willing to play the 20 questions game. Maybe then I will have something to do when I am up late at night not working on my last class to finish my masters. PEACE MONKEYS!

I do not know
Don't you hate when you have all kinds of shit on your mind, but you cannot type any of it out because there is a block somewhere in your synapses? I think about a lot of shit. Sometimes it makes sense to me and sometimes it does not. This probably make no sense to you, but that is OK because it is my blog. I honestly think my brain might explode.
I am a weird person! Peace monkeys!

Bullshit class
So after that long, long story about Alamance Community College...I started taking the nutrition class last Tuesday (8/15) and I finished it in 4 days. That's right, I sat my ass down and worked for about 2 hours a day and finished the class in 4 days. I just want to send ECU a big FU for saying that I had a deficiency from my undergrad years.
I did not have a deficiency...Chowan had a deficiency. WTF ever! The last assignment was to complete an online survey/evaluation for the class and then email the professor to tell her that I was finished. I emailed her to tell her that I was finished but could not find the evaluation. She told me that the evaluation does not come out until the last two weeks of the semester (that is in December). She did not mention anything about my completeion of the class. I wanted to email her back and say, "Biatch, I just slammed your class in 4 days. Can you at least give a boy a shout out!"

Robin Hood
Today, EC was in Danville so I headed out to FR City so I would not have to sit at the house all day and watch Evan drule like I do 5 other days a week. I dropped hin off at my mom's house and then my dad and I went to Bridgewater College to take stuff to my sister. When we got back I got in touch with a friend to see if he wanted to shoot his bow. He said that he was going to a bow shop and that I could ride along, so I did. We went, came back, and then shot our bows in his backyard for a while.
Background info...I bought my first bow about 10 years ago at a pawn shop. My friend bought a new bow last year, so I bought his old bow off of him for $100 last year because it was better than mine. This year, he decided to buy the new Matthews Switchback XT, so of course I get the hand me downs. He is letting me use his old bow, a Martin Razor X, and we are in negociations about a possible purchase of the bow.
I have always been a pretty good shot whether it was with a bow, gun, or whatever. Today I was trying to make sure that my broadheads (hunting tips) were hitting in the same place as my field points (practice tips). I was shooting and we heard one of my arrows hit another arrow. This was no big deal, we nick the arrows all of the time. When we went to retrieve the arrows, the second arrow had hit the first right in the nock and shattered the end of the arrow. I would show you a picture, but I threw the arrow away. So I came pretty damn close to pulling a Robin Hood and splitting the arrow.
It never fails that I mess something up when I shoot my bow with my friend. The last time I snapped an arrow because it hit a piece of metal the wrong way and who knows. 2 times ago I shot over the 3D target and almost killed a cow. And usually I lose an arrow somewhere. Today's loss is a good problem to have. When you mess up arrows with other arrows, that means you are shooting good. It sucks that these arrows are about $8 or $9 a piece.
If I can get my arrow back, I will send pics. PEACE MONKEYS!

Alamance Community College
Some of you know that I am working on my master's at East Carolina University. I am paying out of state tuition at $659 per credit hour. Let's multiply this by 36.
I have known from the beginning that I needed to take 2 undergraduate courses to fulfill a deficiency because Chowan College did not teach me enough. I just found out that even though they are undergrad courses...I had to pay the graduate rate because I am a grad student. Now to Alamance...
I applied there because it is the only college that I can find an undergrad Nutrition class that is offered online. Plus...I will only have to pay $600 and some change for the CLASS instead of that much per credit.
I called ACC today to see if I had been accepted and they told me yes. Funny that I had not been told that yet. I asked how I could register for my class and the lady told me to come to the school and register in person tomorrow with everyone else. I told her that I live 400 miles away...can't I do it online or over the phone. She saud they stopped doing that couple of months ago. She tarnsfered me to some guy, but he was not there so I left a message. I called back to see if someone else would tell me something different, but again I was told to come to ACC. So that pissed me off and I started checking out other places.
At about 3:45pm guy number one called and asked how he could help me. O asked if I could register for a class online or over the phone. He said SURE. We registered right there on the phone in less than 3 minutes. He said just call the business office and arrange for payment. Are you going to be paying with a credit card over the phone. I said I gladly would. He gave me the number and hung up.
I called the business office and asked if I could pay with a card over the phone. The lady said we stopped taking phone payments yesterday and that I needed to come to ACC and pay tomorrow. Again, I explained about being out of state. She transferred me to her "controller." I asked if I could pay for a class that I had just registered for. He asked when I registered. I said 15 minutes ago with guy number 1 over the phone. This dude asks did guy #1 say to pay over the phone. I was like NO, but he asked if that is how I was going to pay. Dude takes my information and says if you do not hear back from me then everything went ok.
This just goes to show that all NC schools suck. I graduated from Chowan High School in 2002 with a 3.9, now I am at ECU with a 4.0, paying too much for classes that are not worth my time, and finally I am at a school that does not do online registering or payments. I am starting my doctorate at UVA in the spring. F NC.

I have been seeing the commercials for the new movie "Accepted." The one where some kid who did not get into any college - starts his own college. He starts a college called South Harmon Institute of Technology (SHIT). I am sure that is played on somewhere in the movie. That's all for now.

Volleyball
Today will be the first day of volleyball tryouts at the high school I help coach at. I cannot wait to get there. Coaching fills a hole that I have in my heart. I wonder how the team will be this year. We were ranked number 1 in VA last year for 3/4 of the season and then lost in the state tournament.
We lost some good talent last year, so this year will be interesting. The District title will come down between us and Fauquier. They finished second behind us last year. The Region will come down to us, Fauquier, Forest Park, and another team to be announced later. It could be tough to make the state tournament this year. All I know is that I am glad to be working with a quality team and a coach that has it all together. All of my past head coaches were dumber than shit.
We need a right side hitter and a middle blocker. If you have one, send them my way.

Talledaga Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
In this new movie, Will Ferrell plays a NASCAR driver who is a complete RETARD. There is one part in the movie where a guy says, "He has two first names." I got to thinking about it, there are a lot of drivers on the Nextel Cup Circuit with two first names. Some of them are a stretch, but use your imagination. The are the main drivers minus the ones who race a couple races a year.
Dave Blaney (stretch) - Jeff Burton - Carl Edwards (take off the s) - Robby Gordon - Jeff Gordon - Dale Jarrett - Jimmie Johnson (stretch) - Mark Martin - Ryan Newman - Tony Raines (stretch) - Scotts Riggs (stretch) - Tony Stewart.
That is almost a third of the main drivers. So I guess that Ricky Bobby is not too far out there.

First bib!
So I decided to put a bib on Evan today for his morning feeding. I like the bib because I hope that he goes to a quality school someday instead of a high school/college like his mother and I did. Oh wait...it is a university now. Who gives a shit...it still sucks.No comments please about spitting up on UVA and that Tech is better. He has Tech diapers and I think I can smell it now. That and he is grunting real loud.

Let's piss away money
So today I went to my parents house so my mom could babysit little E and I could work on my classwork that I am way behind in. It worked out pretty good. I got some work done and am catching up...kind of.
While at the house I happened to tell my dad to look out for a particular rifle for me. It is a Ruger 10/22 with a bull barrel. Of course this is my way of hinting to my dad, Go find one and buy it for me. I do not know how many times in my life he has purchased guns and shown them to me only to say, "Don't tell your mother that I bought/have this one." I figure he might as well buy it. I will end up with it one day anyway. My brother might want a gun or two someday, but he is not a gun person. I am pretty sure that I could negotiate a deal with my brother where he gets the AK-47 and I get the rest. After that, I wait until his future significant other (being optimistic here) tells him no and then I get them all.
I am also working on getting a night vision rifle scope for the Ruger 10/22. I have one picked out. It is not too fancy, but it will do the trick. Here it is, the Newcon NS 156. There are better ones out there, but there is no need to go crazy one spending yet.
My friend, who I am working on the project with, is in charge of the silencer. He has his 22 handgun threaded for a silencer but has not bought it yet. Right now he just uses coke bottles and they work great for about 2 shots and then it is too loud. That's right, the shit in movies does actually work. He puts the bottle cap over the tip of the barrel, then twists on a metal attachment to hold the cap on, and then twists on the bottle. Bang, bang, dead squirrels with no sound! Sssshhhh.
You are probably wondering why I would do this. I would do this for the same reasons that people put exspensive stereos in cars, rims on cars, spend money on scrapbooks, blog about shoes, or spend money on anything. BECAUSE I CAN!
Project costs: gun - approx. $200, night vision - approx. $400, silencer tax fee - $200, and silencer - $200. So I ask you...What kind of dumb shit can you piss away a grand on?

You are probably wondering why I would do this. I would do this for the same reasons that people put exspensive stereos in cars, rims on cars, spend money on scrapbooks, blog about shoes, or spend money on anything. BECAUSE I CAN!
Project costs: gun - approx. $200, night vision - approx. $400, silencer tax fee - $200, and silencer - $200. So I ask you...What kind of dumb shit can you piss away a grand on?

Fantasy Sports Update!
I am not big in Fantasy Sports, but I participate in two leagues. I enjoy Fantasy Football the most. I have been in a league with my brother, brother-in-law, and his friends for about 4 years. The first two years, my brother and I dominated the league and always finished 1 and 2 in the league. The first year, he beat me everytime we were matched up. The second year, we split in the regular season and then he won in the postseason. Last year sucked! I had awesome players (so I thought), but they dropped the ball big time. I started last season 7-1, which is fantastic. From there, I screwed the pooch most every week. It got late in the season and there was only one spot left in the winner's bracket for the playoffs. I needed to win the final three games and someone needed to lose the final three games. I did all that I could and even beat the guy that needed to lose 3 times. I did lose one game buy 1 MFing point. Therefore, I was sent to the loser's bracket for the playoffs. I totally ASS-pounded everyone in the retard playoffs and won the bracket. I just received my invitation for this year's football league and I am ready to go. I do not do anything pre-draft. I take what I am dealt and then let the BRAIN take over from there.
Fantasy NASCAR is something new this year for me. An invitation was thrown out there on blogger to join a league. I asked about the league and how Fantasy NASCAR worked. A reply was given with the appropriate passwords and a side message of "join if you think you can kick our asses." Me being the competitor that I am could not let that slide, so I joined in. I do not watch NASCAR, nor do I give a shit about NASCAR. I can tell you drivers and sponsorers, but that is just the sport's brain talking. I read the scoring details of the league and came up with a plan for the first week (pick my favorite/most popular drivers). After week one, I was in fourth place and the smack talker was in second. After week 2, I was in second and smack talker was in third. After week three, I was in first place and smack talker was nowhere to be found. Let's just say, we are in week 20 and I still am the top dawg and have been for 17 weeks. Smack talker is sitting in 9th out of 13.
The reason for this post was for me to tell about my successes because I am ready for football season and to shit on Ryan Newman. This past week in NASCAR all of my drivers for the week started the race in the top 8. They did not finish there. It was a bad week for everyone, so I still have a good lead on the pack. There are 3 maybe 4 of us that are out there. I just want to say that I have used Ryan Newman twice and he has shit on me twice. I will NEVER use his sorry ass again. He had the pole position and finished 39th. I do not care if you do not win the race, but at least finish in the top 15. I have not had the most points in any given week this season. I am just consistent. Ryan "I cannot drive" Newman does not help me stay consistent. He deserves to catch an STD and die a painful death.
Now that I have posted my successes, watch me crumble the rest of the season. It does not matter as long as I finish better that Smack talker.
PEACE MONKEYS!

I lost my keys!
So I gave the baby some toys this morning to keep him occupied for a few minutes. I hung the keys on his thumb and when I came back they had managed to slide all the way down his arm. He is clueless. So I gave them back to him to post this and all I hear are the keeys banging up against the wall. Oh wait...I think that was them sliding between the wall and the changing table to the floor. Have a good one! Not much planned here today. We might watch the Ringer with Johnny Knoxville and I will try to work on my Master's work.
Peace monkey!

Dumbass!
About a week ago or so, the family loaded up in the CRV and went out to run errands. EC went into AC Moore (craft store), which is next to Best Buy. E and I road around the Best Buy parking lot while EC was returning something in the other store. While riding around, a guy was waiting outside of Best Buy with his trunk open for the workers to load a TV in his car. You should have seen the faces of the workers when they walked outside. The guy was driving a Camary and bought a BIG TV. No, he did not buy your regular big screen. He got the biggest square, regular TV you can buy (30 some inches?).
I do not know sizes of TV buy looking at them. All I know is we have two 20 inch TVs, one 43 inch TV, and my 100+ inch projection screen in our house. Oh...I can fit all of them in my truck. If I wanted too, I could put them all in the CRV.
So dumbasses, if you are reading this, do not bring your little car to stores to buy big shit!

Craig's List
If you do not know about it, YOU NEED TOO! My brother-in-law recently told me about a website, www.craigslist.com, which is the coolest thing I have ever seen. It is FREE and EASY to sell/buy stuff based on the region you live in. Unlike Ebay, there is no bidding and no one gets a share of your profit. The only downside is that you post something, then people contact you through the Craigslist email, share info., meet up and do the deal.
I have been trying to sell my motorcycle for a while now. I sold the Civic and needed to sell the motorcycle. I put the bike in the front yard and some people would stop and look, but I only had 2 people call about it. Both said they wanted to come see it, but never did.
The other night (7/3), I posted my bike for sale and put some pictures on there. By the morning (7/4), I had 7 emails about the bike. Some said, "I am interested." Some said, "I will offer you X amount." And some some said, "I have cash and will come get it now." I called one guy and he came this morning (7/3) and bought the bike...CASH MONEY!
If you have not heard of Craig's List...check it out. They have cities from all over the place. You can deal across the country, but they suggest that you not do that. Some people even post free stuff. CHECK IT OUT!!!!
