Library of Congress

I have been staying on the Porters couch for that last few days because it got so bad at my apartment with my "roommate". She has destroyed the kitchen so throughly that I can't get to the sink for a glass of water, instead I have to get water out of the TUB! Aughhh! I talk to the landlord every week and he knows how bad it is and that she has her boyfriend over a lot (she's now 6 months pregnant) and yet I am the one to leave and not her?
Anyways because I have been able to spend this quality time with the Porters I have heard some funny stuff come out of the mouth of these kids, and it's not just Jeremy. The other day Taylor was talking about how movies are rated wrong and he said "You could fill the library of Congress with all the lies the movie industry tells us." He's 12 for crying out loud.

New Book

So I just read a new book that I think you guys might like. It's called "the Thirteenth Tale" It's a fun mystery that is so unusual and evoking that it only took me 2 days to read. Anyways, other than that NOTHING has happened.

The Experiment

I'm going to put a link at the end of this post that I want you to watch. (Its only 5 sec long). However there are a few conditions or rules.
#1. First watch the video and write down what sound you hear.
#2. Play the video again but this time with NO sound and write down what you think he is saying
#3. Play the video again WITH sound but DON"T LOOK at the video. keep you eyes closed and write down what you hear.

Have fun and send me comments on your findings or what you thought of the experiment.

The Understudy

You know how Shakespeare wrote that "All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players."? Well some times I feel like the understudy of a real player. For instance I am spending my whole life in school but will I really ever be able to actually work and be part of a profession? Or how about every sunday when we learn about how to be a good wife and mother...yeah, thats never going to happen. But yet I still have to memorize the lines of life even if I don't ever get to live it.
Enough of the pity party, I know you don't go on blogs to get depressed, that feeling is saved for the St. Jude's commercials. So here is something to make you smile. (you might have to copy and past if it won't let you just click on it.) Have a good day and be glad that your a player. At least you have the potential to win an Oscar.

Kristen's day out

So About a week ago Kristen went crazy with the kids and just was not a happy person so Mike told her that she could have a day all to herself. She choose Saturday. Anyways, Kris and I went to the mall around 10:00am and didn't get out of there until 6:00. (we saw a movie as well.) We did some other stuff and just hung out on campus and then watched HGTV until 11:00 when Mike called and asked when she would be home. I was just thinking of all the "girls night out" that DeNae had and I'm not saying she didn't need them, I'm just surprised that Kris with 6 kids does not demand more time for herself.
Point of the story: Celibacy!

This is Jermey urging his older sisters on as they dance. He's a good little coach.

I stink at writing!

OK. So I just read my sister DeNaea's blog and saw that she only started a bog a month ago but already has like 6 postings on it. I am falling way behind. Perhaps its because she has a life.
My old roommate Perla and her sister Tosh came for a visit a few weeks ago and I forgot how nice it was to go out to eat with friends and just talk. I like that, but now Perla lives in Puerto Rico and the only good thing about that is that I know where I will be spending my next vacation.
The other day the Porters and I had a "sing off" and if was strange to say the least but fun as well. I am going to attempt to post a video of it in a few day and see if it actually plays.
The only other thing to tell you about is school and so far so good. I haven't died yet this semester so thats a good thing. All right then, talk to you latter.
