pick a body part or one of our senses or anything and i can usual describe how it came to be through the evolutionary process. i mean, you'll get an answer based on my own logical reasoning. so my answer may or may not be correct. however, when it comes to orgasms, i don't really have an explanation of how it came to be. why and when did intercourse go from just the starting act of reproduction, to this crazy pleasurable experience? i read some time ago that the only two beings on earth that do it for pleasure are us and dolphins i think. or maybe it is which animals feel pleasure during. either way, something happened over time to us and not to other animals. or maybe all animals do experience it. unfortunately jonas is still a virgin so i can't ask him. any ideas of how this came about?
after a night of some interesting tv, joe and i headed to the hotel gym for a little morning workout. as simple as it was, him riding one of those handicapped exercise bikes, me on the tread, and way too skinny al roker on today, it was a wonderful time. it all went down the drain once we headed to jack in the box for breakfast. i've always believed that jack has the best breakfast around as far as fast good goes and this occasion certainly reaffirmed my belief. wow. after i've retired to california and am done with this stupid lifestyle with my eating and exercising habits, i plan on getting stupid fat on jack for breakfast and double-doubles for lunch, hopefully somewhere around the 240 pound range.
later that day was the funeral. the first person i got to see was my cuz lori who hasn't changed since i remembered her taking me to mcdonalds for sundae's when i was like five. aunt linda and uncle larry was next as he gave me a big hug and greeted me with, "hey it's my favorite liberal nephew." it doesn't get any better than that. next were the second cousins courtney, josh, and amanda. josh felt he had to introduce himself to me by saying, "hi, i'm josh." yeah i know who you are buddy. we only spent a good portion of our early childhood together. granted, we haven't seen each other since the early 90s, but still. and oh the comments i got on how skinny i looked. i've always said i grew up as a fat kid and now i have my family to back me up on that. next were my cousins craig and jill who were just as i left them. me and some of the other grand kids and great grand kids were privileged to be pall bearers for my grandpa. as we pulled him out of the hearse i thought about this tradition that has probably gone on for thousands of years to give the dead the honor that they deserve. the grandpa ben that i know and remember and have heard stories of deserves all the honor we could bestow. the service was done by the masons of which he belonged to. it was hot and sweaty and i remembered back to the time of my only other funeral i had attended, which coincidentally had been in that exact same spot about twenty years ago for grandma dorene who now lies side by side to her husband. my only snapshot of that event that i remember is sitting up front next to my mom and seeing her cry. i think she held up pretty well this time but not me. it's hard knowing that i won't see them again for so many years. it is so comforting to know that they are together though, and that one day i can embrace them both and tell them i love 'em. it sucks to think that out of my four grandparents, only one is still alive now, which is my dad's dad (grandpa bob? grandpa chambers? not really sure what to call him). i have no memory of him and know nothing more than his name. more on him later though. the funeral was good and hopefully it will stay with me for much of my life.
we all met up for pizza afterward. in all we had sanchez's, the last hert, a bryant, williams, beach, wilson, and of course chambers. it felt fitting to sit at the "kids" table with my cousins. we talked and laughed and took pictures and had a grand old time. it made me realize how much i've missed out on everyone these past, oh, twenty or so years. and i love them all so dearly. it's really shame, but to be able to all get together like this was momentous. unfortunately only one person was missing. a sweet girl named kim had to stay home during all of this. grandpa decided to die the week before our move, but it all worked out cuz here we are.
i can't remember what all went on after pizza. probably just back to grandpa's place to do more work. well i didn't really do much but i must say that my little bro chris really worked his butt off. my hat goes off to him. hey joe, what did we do that night?
Miami Vice (2006): two miami-dade police officers must go undercover as drug runners in order to kill lots of people. strange that there were no opening credits or even a title. the violence is extremely realistic. as predicted it has some of the greatest cinematography i've ever seen. they used so many techniques and almost every shot seemed so well thought out. the acting is all flawless with crazy realistic dialogue. it's sometimes hard to follow what they are saying because they never say more than they need to. however it does show their connection and that they have been together a long time. so i guess it adds to the movie, but doesn't make following the plot any easier. throughout their undercover stuff, i totally forgot why they were doing it all in the first place. the story is complex but it flows well and i was always waiting for the next big event to happen. i think that's called suspense. good music, great locations, lots of effective juxtaposition. the reviews i read about a confusing plot and unbelievable ending is all crap and must have been for some other movie. it's an insane adrenaline rush and after you've seen it you'll want to invest in a speedboat and kill people. highly recommended. buy it.
almost perfect, A-
since we've been in westminster we've already hung with almost everyone. last night we met dustin's dawn for the first time who seems quiet but pretty chill. and tall. ryan, dani, and tom were there too at old chicago for a nice rehashing of old times. the night before that ryan, dustin, tom, and i met up at rock bottom for a little brew-ha-ha. i'm not sure if that makes sense but i was trying to think of something with brew in it. the point has been made. two nights before that it was karen, ryan, and us out to a dinner and movie. it's been really good seeing everyone. there are a few more out here that i still need to see, but all in due time. there are a few i don't want to see either, so let's hope greg keeps his fat ass in denver. kim's fam has been amazing as usual. the kids like coming over but sometimes they also don't like to leave.
less than a week until my orientation and after saying that i get really scared. i'm hoping i'll be back in utah next tuesday for our little dc get-together. for the past five or six days straight i've been working on the swivel chair adding layers of paint and finish and scraping and using enough chemicals that would be sure to kill a small animal. the finish line is getting so close though. today may even be the day that i can put it together. most likely tomorrow though.
