Did anyone see the most beautiful rainbow on Tuesday? I followed the rainbow to its end. Well it sucked cause I got to the end of it and found myself at a Thrift Store. The only gold in there was from the tooth of the owners. Oh well. It really was a double one, but I couldn't capture it on the camera. Just goes to show you that our eyes are better than any lame excuse for a camera.

Wonderful! The gift of art from James Jason, Katherine Anne, and Baby Sully... My first attempt to make something is half done. It looks a lot worse on here, meaning it looks better in person. Well, I was trying to paint an elephant hiding behind a giant bunch of wild flowers. Can you see his tail?

Our beautiful holiday treat of new curtians! Hooray! The 80's are finally leaving the Shaw House!!!

The Lovely Caldwell gang, featuring Keith in his "unique" holiday vest.

Lisa sneaks a call to her Kyle as she flashes the Old Orcutt gang sign.

Mummy is a plastic surgery junkie! Katie is just crazy.

Jason thinks he is a part of the worship team, but quickly takes off once they share that they will no longer be singing Emmanuel.

Susie thinks she looks like Celine. Poor girl.

Whoo hoo look at that Harry Potter! That's me for Halloween! I look just like Harry. Check out the badge I made! Trick or Treat!

Want some Sloppy Joe's? Jenn does!

This is Kevin and Carl or Zorro and Indiana!

This is Lisa and her man Kyle. This was taken in the apartment of Katie and Jason

He was a good friend of mine...

I never understood a single word he said but he always served some mighty fine wine...

Yes he always did. I headed up to San Jose this weekend to see my lovely sister Kay Kay and her bugger of a husband J. It was nice other than the fact that J acts like a filthy mud blood. Nevertheless... Before I left for San Jose an exciting thing happened... I got my stereo installed. It took a massive 20 mins to get it in. Whoo hoo! SO a note to those of you who stole my stereo or the 120 CDs I had in the car. Please be sure to bypass my car and seek out the car of someone who had money and doesn't care if things get stolen. This would help society function better and cause great rejoicing on my part. However I must be careful where I jump for joy... for people who tend to jump for joy tend to do so in a room with a low ceiling, which can cause great dis-joy.

OK... So I had a splendid time going to CPK and watching Stuck on You. The next morning we sat around and chatted with my other sister Lisa Jane and her bugger of a boyfriend Kyle. It was splendid. Soon after that KK and myself ran off to a mansion... A haunted Mansion!!! Ooo how exciting. Yes do check the blog again for some pictures of our adventure... More to come on that...

Ohh yeah that reminds me I can update this thing with pictures now... Well I will wait til I get home to update the blog... I will post this as a tempting taste of things that are to come.

grim grinning ghost come out to socialize...

ig

I love my lips.

I really do.

That's all.

I couldn't face my life tomorrow...

Without your hope in lad di da doh...

So today and the last whatever its been has been very exciting. Not much has been actually happening to me now that the bird has flown the nest, but it is nevertheless an exciting time in the way of J-12. I have been doing that Blog much more justice than this one. But alas me matey, it is still a blog.

I plan on going to see my sister, but I need to tell Chet that I can't sing on Sunday first. Oops. I told him that I would check with her about it... But we'll see. Anyway I am excited about that, and even more so about seeing the Bird. It should be good. I have a digital camera now so I will show up with that and post some of our adventures. ok.. time to use the phone...

cya kids

I want a feast...

I want a bean feast. I want to weara the braids in my hair and I don't want to share them!

Yes stinking Cory got that song stuck in my head. Anyway school is going really well.. But the time she does toll for me and Carrie. Alas she will take her purple self and move away to CHC. But rumor has it Michael may come and visit her. Hum. We'll see.

Anyway for those of you who may be interested I have a list of classical children's literature that I would like to add to my classroom. Yes that's right for the low low price of just something.99 dollars you too can donate a book to Teacher Michael. Oh wait... Wrong Blog...

But I guess those are the things happening in my life. Not much to report.

So long.

Can I cut your hair?

I don't care.

It's a song trust me. Just like Chicken Noodle Soup with Rice. KK knows. Anyway sorry I have been in the ghetto, busy and all. I have been setting up my classroom and getting all my school work done. I have another blog I have to keep up too which is a great concern.... check it out... ahcj-12.blospot.com it's for my class.

Anyway I got a hair cut.. I went to college group... And now I am going to bed...

I don't care.

Its a rare condition this day and age..

To read any good news on the newspaper page...

Well I read some good news today. Actually I saw some good news. I woke up... Face not really hurting at all... And then the news had 3 happy stories on it. Wow... This world did a turn around. Good news! On TV! Fancy that!

No puffy face here. No pain. Just a good nurse by my side.

Mashed Banana Mashed Banana...

Mashed Banana Mashed Banana. Banana, banana, banana... Munch munch munch munch...

Yes songs get stuck in my head like no other. So today was a good day. I sang in church this morning which The African Bird says went well. Then I attended Sunday School where I think we talked about Jack falling out the window. Odd.

After that I headed to The Bird's aunts house... Oh the Ant's house, and we ate some food. Good stuff. Soon after we headed to my house and I sat here on the computer and worked. Get this I looked at over 1000 children's books today! Crazy! I am making a wish list... Oh yes that reminds me.  Due to the overwhelming plea for information about my birthday gifts I will provide an online blog or two to site the items that I will need come November. Now just remember if you decide to celebrate my birthday now, you can still buy me another gift in November, September, and October. I won't argue with your intellect.

Anyway I saw Lycan, Parker, and Mini Hough tonight. It was good stuff. We watched the Bourne ID... It was a'ight. I'll check out the new one. Good things in the future.

Gather round you friends of mine...

We're Wilderness Girls and it's COOKIE TIME...

That's right you heard it here first. I was out in the wilds today... The wilds of Santa Barbara. It was great fun. The African --Carrie-- Bird and I met up with the ever so Spidermanish Jeremy--who climbed up the side of a building today for our enjoyment--Flinn and his lovely wife Kristi--who should realize that being called a swan or a giraffe is a great compliment, hey its better than a bull dog. Anyway, it was splendid seeing them in such a nearby location.

To those of you reading this who may have moved away, please note: You may only move away to the most northern point of SLO, and the most southern point of Santa Barbara... Anything else is inconsiderate of Michael's needs. And let's remember who is important here.

Later in the day Miss Kicks, Melissa Waldhelm, met up with us and had some fine CA.P.K. eats. To end the day we walked in circles and then drove to El Capitan where we looked at the view and talked about caterpillars smoking in Wonderland. It was simply davoon. We roasted marshmallows and then drove home.

The moral of the story?
If you move to SB or SLO Michael will be happy and give you a dollar.

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corned moon...

Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grins... Can you see the moons full round when its a half moon?

I say no. The African Bird says yes. I think the eye is playing tricks on you and The Bird says she can see it all. I think it is one of those visual fill ins... Where you read a sentence and all of the second vowels are taken out but you can still read the sentence fine... Ya know?  More to come on that one. Besides that... I also saw a balloon by the moon. Anyway my gay project is done, so is my Mexican one.

Fun fun fun...

moons over my hammy

I'm going down down baby...

Bastinga on the radio, boom boom baby. Ready to let'em go. Shimmy shimmy coco puff...

So I have been super tired lately. I don't even know what's wrong with me. Last night I slept for about eleven hours, and guess what I woke up at 6:30. Get out your calculators, cause that's an early bed time.

Today was good. Tani worked with me which was way fun, but then nap time was way wicked cause I had to play stern teacher. No fun.  Later in the afternoon we had water day and it was fun cause I got to go on the slip and slide! Yeah baby...

But later in the day a little girl put a ball in her mouth and she wouldn't spit it out. I told her if she didn't spit it out she could swallow it and get it stuck in there forever, or she could choke on it and die like Mufasa did in the story. That didn't set in. So I tried a new method. I had her look at the scar on my face. She touched it. Then I had her touch my neck. She did. And oop! There was a ball in my throat!!! I told her that the doctor had to go in and look in my throat, and he'd do the same to her if she left it in her mouth. She then spit it out. She didn't want a scar on her face.

Moral of the story?

An Adam's Apple a day keeps the doctor away.

holla

It's fun to stay at the..

Y-M-C-A... Its fun to stay at the ...
 
Oh yeah that's right baby. We went and saw the Original Village People tonight at the Santa Barbara County Fair, here in good ol' Santa Maria. They were awesome. A little gay perhaps, but awesome. Before that I spent the afternoon setting up my classroom with all the little things I have collected over time and then hanging with Carrie. That was fun...
 
But the concert...
Everyone who was anyone  (except my lovely family, Parker, and maybe the you--if you are reading this) was there. They sang their little songs and I saw one of my kids from work and I never knew it but she can dance really well--she was in the front row cutting a rug... She was much better than the 50 year old blonde woman who had spasms when she danced. She was loca in the cabasa. Not as weird as the Indian who had the biggest mohawk... Or the construction worker who tore open his shirt, but still very odd.
 
Well just a quick note so you all know that I learned how to do the YMCA dance properly.
 
join the navy

Like sweet morning dew, I took one look at you

And it was plain to see, you were my destiny.
With arms open wide, I threw away my pride.
I'll sacrifice for you, dedicate my life to you...
 
 
So this was a good week. I started work with a blast of energy and ended with a boom of being tired.  According to everything I know I'll be the head teacher officially until December and then they have to pick me out of a group if I am allowed to continue. Whatever. Sounds lame.
 
SO Thursday Mike Peter Melvine Parker said something funny that I can't remember... If you know the details to this wonderful comment that should be immortality on my blog please let me know. I also heard a ring in my house, picked up the phone and heard Pipi Longstocking in a minor key--SHOUT OUT to San Jose--REPRESENT 619!
 
Continuing on through the week... last night I went to class and I found out that I got a 100 on my test when I thought I got a 70! Whoo hoo! I know my early childhood education... That was good news for sure. Following that good news I went out with Pa and Ma Swenson for an Olivey Garden dessert. Very good conversation, good chocolate food, and very baggy eyes on my side of the table... After working for 8 hours, and going to school for 3.5 I was worn out.  SO, after that I headed home where I sat on the sofa and looked out my window thinking "Gee I'm tired." Yet I sat there and attempted to study. Waste of time.

Today I get ready to play in my classroom... I'll be hanging stuff up and I'm totally stoked. Then more to come with Carrie! Whoo hoo! Come on VH1 vote for me... I had the best week ever!

chumba wumba

Summertime...

And the mood is easy... I've been sabaloopa for so long.

So today is a pretty funny day. I woke up at 6:30 AM and thought to myself, "Why am I waking up at 6:30." So I watched the Game Show Network and I think I watched Match Game and Hollywood Squares. Yes that was good times... Good old Brett and Whoopi on one channel.

So I eventually got dressed and went to church. Yeah, that was interesting. I taught in the 4's and 5's class and it was very odd cause I had no clue what happened when I was speaking to the kids and my lesson just came to a halt. So oh well....

Then I went home and I sat on the sofa and an hour and a half later I woke up to be ba doo boopie do dow. And I was shocked. I thought I was awake, but it turns out I was just dreaming about a Hawaiian print. Is that odd or what?

So now I sit at Carrie's desk and I prepare to go to celebrate the birth of my namesake. That's fun times man. And then I may go and make like a My Buddy Jim band and burn like a fire. So I say to you all...

fare thee well

Well I thought I knew you. Thinkin', thought you were true, yes I...

I couldn't trust, called your bluff taught me... souff cuf a muff luff duff... cause I've had enough.

So today was an ok day. I went back to Marian and worked there which was good clean fun. They are funny there. The kids are great and have a lot of personality. After that I ran over to my real school and low and behold no contract sat on the desk for me. So alas I cried about it for a half hour until I decided it was time to go eat something for lunch. So I did that too.

After my pilgrimage Miss Swenson called me and brought over a sequel pack for Scene It--You've seen it here first, folks. I have Part II coming to you--And then we decided ugh it was time for youth group.

So it went and went. And then it was gone. So then I went to worship team practice. And it went and went. And it too was gone. Alas 11:08 rolled around and it was too late to go see Miss Swenson and Miss Lee, so I used the Bell and sent my regards to Broadway--strike that make it Cypress. So here I am. I watched part of Millionaire, became very bored and sat down to Blog my thoughts out when I get a call in a minor key. How odd? I think so.

what.

Let's all party...

Like its 1999... or 2004. Take your pick.

So anyway today was a good day. I spent most of the day with Miss Swenson and we had a pretty good time walking around the streets of SLO. Although we walked around there fast, it was SLO. What do you know!

After that and some deep discussion we settled to have a good time walking around COSTCO which contrary to popular belief was open. So after a few runs up and down the aisles, and after meetin up with half of GBC we found chips and cheese.

So the night ran on, and we did too. We saw many faces. A little Texas Hold Em sponsored by Mr. Texas himself, Austen. A little catch in the back yard with Rose. And some Nertz fun with the big group. After we finished our games we all gathered--cause it was a gathering and then separated again. This time to movie watching and going home.

So alas I sit at my desk, alone... All by myself, don't wanna be... All by myself.

yo ho ho

My future lies beyond the...

Yellow brick road--Ahhh ahh ahhh ahhh, so goodbye yellow brick road, saga do ba de da go ha.

So today was a very long day--ok it just felt that way. I understand that days are all the same measurement of time, but sometimes the days just seem long ok.

I started working at Marian Medical Center for my student teaching and I think I am rather tired already. I started my day around 6 am and I woke up working, then I drove to the children's center in a daze and all of a sudden I thought--Did I lock my front door? So I jet home to find it was locked. But with my luck this last month I probably would have left it unlocked and it would have been broken into and cleaned out... Wait... Cleaned out... Me not doing the work.. Maybe I should unlock the door...

Nevertheless, I worked for a short period of time, came home. Worked on some stuff, and then went over to Carrie's where she selflessly helped me out the sweet thing. She's a trooper. Someone who can put up with me and be cheerful? What a winner! Plus she's really smart--Come on a 99 on a math test is awesome! So then tonight I went to school and listened to my teacher talk about lesson planning and stuff and I realized... Wow it's Friday night and the moon is bright, gonna have some fun, show you how its done--TGIF. So I came home ate a thing of Nachos and watched Bee Bah Ba Doopie Do Dow. I got to see the cute bird again and life is good...

speak on it

And all you fellas leave your girls with a friend cause its 11:30 and the club is...

...Jumpin' jumpin.

Yesterday was an excellent--and long--day. I woke up to the sound of an alarm clock which I told off, and it became quiet. Yet, moments later it spoke up again so I listened to it and jumped out of bed. This time I didn't jump in the air, but I did jump in the shower.

After that I jumped in my car, and then jumped on over to Nipomo where I helped Kevin complete his floor. After jumping on that project we jumped over to Carl's Junior and jumped into some conversation. Kevin had to jump back to the house so I decided I would jump over to Celebration and begin restocking my collection.

So the night wore on... Junior High was odd, somebody jumped all the Junior Highers cause no one was there. So I jumped over to the donut shop where I was clever like Spiderman so no one could see me! Right Carrie? And then I was pushed--I didn't jump--into singing on Sunday. So I fell into that.

Soon after the doors of salvation opened and Peter--I mean Mike Parker came in and we jumped in his parker-mobile and we jumped in line for Spidey. Then we jumped around in the movie theater and he said if the Fanta song came on he'd jump up and dance--well I would have to pay him $2. Nevertheless, the movie was jumping. A guy passed out or something and was jumped out of the theater and then I came home and jumped into bed.

your friendly neighborhood spiderman

Have you ever reached a rainbows end?

Did you find a pot of gold, or a leprechaun?

Today I sit here and I wonder. And I hope and I pray that some how I will be remembered when people go to buy tickets for events such as Spiderman 2. Imagine seeing that beautiful film without me. You sitting there watching Doc Oc take over and looking over, no Michael. Oh alas, this world would be a sad sad place.

So the next time you're in line for the movies...
The next time you think you're going to sit down with your buddy Mr. Corn... Call me.

Remember the Titans.

adios

Callin' out around the world...

So, last night was a very exciting adventure. I come out to my car to find it had been tampered with! But in a good way. I then proceeded to follow the trail that the criminal left and I found my way to the Giorgi's house. There were people hiding in the trees and bushes and everyone was on edge. COME ON! That's crazy! They all thought that someone was going to attack them. What weirdos!

Anyway Carrie and I took off to drop off her car so she wouldn't have to drive and then we came back to some psycho things. I gave everyone an ultimatum... Come up with an activity in 5 or I drive. So in the end we all started dancing in the garage! These people are funny!

No one wanted to dance though... So we took a note from Tim McGraw and danced in the dark. Then Britney came back on and we dismissed Jason from the room. I danced like the dork I am and everyone slowly left until I was the only one dancing in the room.

A few buckets of sweat later I decided with the help of a little African Bird that it was time to go. So we took off and called it a night? Yeah that sounds good.

So the moral of the story is that Summer here and the time is right for dancing like a greek.

ciao

Bling Blang Blog

So today I was up and playing good old Mario 3 for NES. Oh yeah! I even recalled where the 2 whistles were! You could say that this memory of mine has some power--in case you were wondering I will be hosting a memory seminar with my lovely sister Katie--

After some great playing around on NES I ventured out to Mr. B's house and helped him move his things into the town house off the 101 so he can rest up a little before he hooks it up with that Jonesy. Pretty exciting? I think so.

Then after a great journey and some wisdom teeth consultations Mike Parker sat at college group and said the funniest thing... James was speaking and said he was the president, and how silly it was to say such a thing... Then Mike said.. Oh yeah I guess I've never seen them in the same place at the same time.

COME ON!!! That's comedy. And now I sit here with a bowl of Froot Loops and I say adu adu...

peace
