A Weekend of Wonderful Wonders

Yes! It is true. I had a really fun weekend with my fabulous freaky family. Friday was SO busy with work, school, and the party that my sisters and I threw for my dad. I think there were at least 100 people there. It was real nice thanks to Susie's extra work and Lisa's helping hands. Then it was a lot of fun just to relax on Saturday with my aunts, uncles, and cousins at the luau, and then to hang out on Sunday with old friends like the Kineri and Jensens. What a great weekend!

Corbina my Love

Here I am. Sitting at the breakfast table at Corbina and I'm having a grand-chawhe of a time. I slept in today... Which is wonderful... I played games on my cell phone which is pretty much amazing... I charged and loaded up my digital camera which is AWESOME... And now I am sitting here on wireless loving my iBook.

Here are some shots of the house. Pretty ghetto right now but once I get my DIY hands on the place it should go well...

Here it is...

Kevin and Britney

Can you believe that Kevin was born the same day Britney was? The same year? And she married a guy named Kevin?

Well here I am on Corbina. Rockin like a sockin. Things are good here. I have technology up the wazoo... I found a wireless connection and life is good.

I am really sad today because it is my last day with my kids. I have been with the same core group of children since they were 6 months old! And now they move on to bigger and somewhat better things. Today I treated my staff to lunch at the Olive Garden and fixed up the old class for the new group of kids who start on Tuesday.

Anyway... Life is good. I have a phone, a computer and tomorrow I am getting THE MOST AMAZING table on the Central Coast. Also I'm looking forward to meeting Michal's husband Michael. Should be great.

Ok...

Just around the river bend...

So I have been taking a turn here for the better I think. I just got a check from my work for 430 big ones to go out and get a new camera for the work place... cough cough... it is awesome to get back what was taken from you.

I finished most of my paper for my Communication class which is just funny. My teacher worked for Tony Robins. Come on anyone who has seen Shallow Hal knows why I think that is just too much to deal with.

I am getting all of my things together to go in my little room. Which I'm very excited about.

Harry Potter previews get me all excited for the new book... Thought of the day is that they should make previews for books.

Star Wars is in 24 hours exactly. I'm stoked about that. Austen says he's meeting us there so that's good beans.

And finally I'm amazing.

The end.

Domingo, domingo, domingo

Yes today is that pretend day of rest for me. It was a wonderful mother's day with out much mom, though. Sad enough I had too many plans, but I did promise to take mom out for a lunch on the town.

I woke up and started in on Kingdom Kids stuff. They were very sweet and sang in the first and second services at church. I heart them very much. Then I snuck out of church and ate lunch with my mom and dad before I had to run out again. I met up with Andrew, Jon and Kevin and we drove on the very very very slow 101 to Cal Poly. It took a whole hour to get there! We went to the Cal Poly v. Fulerton game that Andrew won tickets to via ESPN radio. Shout out to Andrew for the Trivial knowledge of a champ...

We watched the game and unknowingly Andrew and I were sunburnt. I got home and went to Michael's to buy some art canvas and then headed to church to set up for Kingdom Kids again. We did an art night which in my opinion was the best night of the year. It was very spiritual in my estimation.

Then my night went on and on and on. We had a drop in at Jim and Jenn's home... Which was ...
a) fun
b) long
c) boring

Take your pick. It was one of those. I was happy to talk to Morgan on the phone. I had a golden time doing that. And I learned that I could hear chords from songs.... whoo hoo.

I am overly introspective tonight so I will refrain from any personal comments on my psychological condition. But nevertheless, I am excited to go back to work this week and see the littler buggers. I do miss them. I'd rather stay away from the politics of the staff.. But that's part of life.

Wearin' that same old funky dress...

Ya got ta try a little tenderness!

And that's what is so AMAZING about Sara. She is SO talented (well I've only heard a little of her talent) and such a little hottie. We love those singers who know how to work it. I just barely got to know her.

Ok so I have been awaiting the arrival of my sister's pictures from the room Lisa and I did for the baby. We'll see if she remembers to send them to me... I somehow have my doubts. Nevertheless, we had a very good time in the ☠PIT of San Jose AKA K and J's home. It was fun though.

I discovered that I have another spiritual gift... The Gift of the Inside Track on Pac Man. Very fun I'd say. We got to see Katie as a MAJOR Prego this weekend and also we went out to dinner with Devon Shaw my lovely cousin who I saw at the NAEYC Conf this Fall. Ahh the good old days.

So after Lisa and I worked it up in San Jose I came home and was tired so I skipped out on practice and watched TV. It was Nicccccce. Get it? Rosie O'Donnell? The Bus? With my sister? Oh yeah. Sadly, it was actually a good character story. After that, or was it before that, I spent time looking up my favorite old TV shows on the internet.

Does anyone remember the family sit-com The Charmings? Those of you who do I'll buy you an apple. No fair if you heard my recap of it at the house the other night.

Ok... Well I only have about 7-15 more days at the Countrywood Manor and then its off to Corbina. I have to get going now cause my girlfriend Sara is calling me with her grail.

Has anyone ever watched...

Debby Travis? She has this wonderful paint that she paints a house with and she's a cross between Olivia Newton John and Martha Stewart. Odd? Yeah I'd say so.

Kristen Cunningham has really bad bronzer on right now.

Fleur looks great right now.

And today I forgot that I had a midterm... So I show up to class and say "Oh finger-knuckle I forgot to make a cheat sheet!" So I pull out a piece of paper and work it like a rolla-roid. I pull out all the information I can in the 5 mins I have and BOOM it's time for the test. I take it and WAH LAH! I did it! I had all the info I needed on my cheat sheet. WORK IT LIKE ALOHA!

Nevertheless I am having a good night because Lisa is home. Tanya, Lisa and I are watching TV and having In-and-Out. *YUCK!!!

Ok... Sullivina is coming into the world VERY soon so Li and I are headed up to the Jose this week. I'm off work so I may update my blog more because of the exciting adventures that may take place.

P.S. Movie lovers only spend 2 bucks on A lot Like Love... It's OK not the best, unless you like to see butt.

When I was a Little Boy...

I remember watching a lot of TV in my day... Yes yes... I am very media savvy these days... But...

Does anyone remember a TV show called The Snorks? I do. But no one else seems to recall the playful multi-colored aquatic animals with the strange looking snouts. The theme song would go "Come along with the Snorks. Swim (or perhaps sing) along with the Snorks. So much to see when you happen to be... Come along with the sing along with the swim along with the---SNORKS!"

Perhaps I am alone in my memories, but I urge you all to latch on to those memories of things that you loved. Write them down or tell a friend. When you have kids and you want to entertain them... Ask yourself what did I use to like to watch or do?

Just like today in class... PIRATES DAY! Arg me matey.. We be scurvy dogs ye bildge rats. It was way fun.

Ok... Remember the Snorks.

Life is a rollercoaster...

So my life is ok... then it sucks... then it is fun... then it bites...

So I took a few days off and in those days off I got my digital camera stolen or "borrowed..." Let's pray it wasn't stolen. Anyway I was happy to be in class this weekend I learned of some great stuff about my field and also about one of my friends! Can't post it yet cause she hasn't told others yet!

Well... I also went to the strawberry festival this weekend. It was very... very... Different?

Anyway... Overall I am happy with life...

Last night I spent 2 hours making 1 cake! From 12 to 2 in the morning!!! Can you believe it? It's Morgan's half birthday today so I made her it to surprise her... Low and behold she wasn't in the morning service so I didn't think she was coming to church. but she was there and I missed her. Because... Today I took some much needed time away with Andrew, Tanya, and Kevin. It was fun. We went to SLO and had some tri tip, got some Harry Potter on hold, looked at clothes (urg), and yea... That was about it... Now I am going to do homework and then party like a rock star.


rock n roll

The Blower's Daughter...

Yes that song is stuck in my head.

I don't know what it is about that horrible melody... But there it is.

So I have been spending the last few days LONGING for a days rest. I don't get a single day off thanks to school and church. But alas I have had a fun time doing both. It would just be nice to sleep in for a change. Oh well... Now that class just got out... I mean JUST got out, I am planning on going to a birthday party for Tailey (a little girl in my class). She asked me if I was coming and I told her yes. She looked over at Melissa and said, "See he's a good teacher."

That's pretty funny you've got to admit.

Anyway... My plan for the week is to go do something fun on Thursday because I am taking the day off. I need to get wild and do something crazy. Maybe I'll head out somewhere... I am going to (maybe...) take the week after next off ... Hopefully I can go see my Homegirls in the Sac... And while I'm on the topic...

SHOUT OUT TO THE HOMIE IN THE 805! Holla Park'a!

Thought for the day:
Stop shoulding on me. (say it fast... its more fun that way)

Shout Out

Shout out to the Sac! HOLLA at ya'll...

Gay Ghostwriter.

Here is what I think. The guy from the TV show Ghostwriter turned out to be gay... There I was watching the Real World when he said he was from the TV show I grew up watching--GHOSTWRITER---word. I couldn't believe how old he is now. And then it hit me... I'm old too.

Oh how I miss Lenny, Gabby and Jamal. Jamal was the cool black kid who lived with his Grandma. Gabby was a know it all and Lenny was the urban, brainy, Hispanic. They were way ahead of their time. They would get these IMs from the Ghostwriter and he would help them solve mysteries. It was funny cause he was this glowing orb. Odd? Yes. Watch it? Every week.

I also loved Math Net. "Without math. I am less than ZERO..." Or who could forget at 4:00 every day Carmen... who stole the Soule in South Korea... and the gum shoes would get the loot, the warrant and then... TOP GRUNGE... or DOUBLE (double) TROUBLE (trouble). I think I had a crush on the girl villain. PBS should really consider bringing back that game show. But if they do they need to get Rockappella back on too. They worked it out like Aloha.

Nevertheless please don't be an anon ghostwriter on my page. It makes me sad...If you have something to say leave your name buggers.

Dum... D-U-M

Yes this blog is dumb. I have been attempting to get online and put up pictures and beautiful comments where I share for my disdain for dreams of the haunting ex nature.... But I have been unable to. Everytime during the past week I have set out to get on here it comes up with a Bible study page for igmasterw.blogspace.com!

FREAKY WEIRD!

Anyway... This week was way fun. SHOUT OUT TO AUSTEN and our whirlwind trip down south! HOLLA!

As for today... I spent all day today in class. Yuck. And all night last night in class. Double Yuck. 5-8:30 Friday nights and 8-2 on Saturday mornings. Oh well at least I can now identify what the heck is wrong with people.

The big news on the Michael front is that I will be moving soon. At least that's the plan... If you haven't heard about this yet, that means I didn't really want to tell you, I don't have your information, I didn't have the chance to tell you, or you aren't important. I think you know which one applies to you.

So with moving I share these terms for visitation:

NO GHETTO PEOPLE CAN VISIT ME OR THE HOMIES
EVERYONE WHO COMES OVER WILL PAY HOMAGE, YES HHHHOMAGE, TO APPLE
AND EVERYONE WHO COMES WILL BRING ME A BOX OF GRANOLA BARS OR MACARONI (KRAFT ONLY)!

Don't like it? Deal.
Adios.

The Wonderful World of Michael

Yes it is true. Michael is finally back online here at 953. And yes... I love it I love it I love it! Cause I can kick, jump, and kick cause I'm 22! Yeah baby!

First of all BIG Holla action to MORGAN! Girl you make some mean pasta and the bread rocked! Jon you get a shout out too for letting me have a romantic hour with your lady while you worked late! HOLLA!!

But truth be told I have a new girlfriend these days... Don't get crazy on me... You all know who she is Miss Apple (no not related to Gweneth). She's sweet, clean, and when I get sick of her I close her up and let her charge. Baby baby... Shout out to Kyle for hooking me up! For that you can stay in the family.

That's good stuff. Well the truth is I also have a new boyfriend too these days... 24. My oh my. He's so good to me... He's there for me in the middle of the night, he keeps life interesting and just when I think I understand him he twists and turns. Life is funny that way. I'm 1/2 way through the 3rd season and I really enjoy it. This one is different but my favorite characters are coming back! They are all so evil. Like the frewits of the deveel.

Wait will people think that I actually have a real girlfriend? Or perhaps they will think I am a gay guy (not that there's anything wrong with that)? Well in case anyone is interested and you are of the female species I am still available and very interested. Those of you of the male gender I'm still unavailable and not interested (not that there's anything wrong with that).

So tomorrow when I upload Hello! I can show you pictures of the shower that was just perfect. Little Sullivina is on her way. She's a kicker. But be careful Ma and Pa Sully cause Uncle Iggy is gonna spoil her rotten... Until she pees on her bedding then I raise a fist in the air and say "Bugger OFF!"

Peace, love, and Simon... thanks for being nice to me in my dreams! TOP 5 BABY!!!

24

Ok... So its all Parker's fault. I am addicted to another TV show. Last month I was totally overwhelmed with MOVIES now its TV. I guess it works... Susie thinks I am hiding pain through my media viewing. No way Mr. Jose.

Anyway just reporting that I am now an LA Shaw because I watch 24. Wha la. There you go.

Thursday is a Holiday... We're gonna party LIKE ROCK STARS!!!

Life in the Anti-Car Pool Lane

Well I would be posting more... Except not much has been happening really. Life in the solo driver's lane is funny.

Jon celebrated his 24th birthday which was fun. We had a Cheesey Waiter come by and say "Happy Birthday, Sir." I done went and peed my pants when he said that. The guy knew his name was Jon... WHAT THE HECK! SIR? And the smile! Good grief, Charlie Brown!!

I took the day off of work today to do two things. I only got one of them done... So tomorrow I need to take some time off of work to do the other.

Nevertheless... I've been taking some extra time to write my story (which hopefully is going well--only crtics and non-friends can tell that), and I'm also finding that I have been watching a lot of REALITY TV.

True, true... I'm hooked on Survivor. American Idol is interesting, but not as much as it use to be... But now The Amazing Race, and TIVOing Real World. Wow. That's a lot.

As for the social life... Well, there's only so much a guy can do. Ok... that's all she wrote.

Here is some of the decorations from the Oscar party... Swanky for sure!
Susie and Cindy show up looking JLo Shic.
Here is Alyssa and Nicole... Lovely in casual glam.
The winner (well I really won--but you can't win at your own party) is.... CINDY!!! Whoo hoo she got the most right at the pary (well I really did).
Here's Suz and Cindy drinking some Pinot Grigio. This was a sawnky after-party for sure.
Here's Andrew... or as my sister says... Orlando Bloom...
Tanya smiles as she sips on some Martinellies... Mmm mmm good.
Whoo hoo gotta love the Oscar after-party! This one was hosted by an awesome celeb.

The Party

Oh yeah OSCAR time is HERE!!!

The party is set. The invites are mostly out.

And anyone who is anyone is coming.

After the evening I will post my ballot online. However, if you are coming to the party I will ask that you do not copy mine. For the $50's worth of prizes really looks nice to me. :-)

Movies, movies, movies, movies...

Well the Oscars are coming... And whoo hoo boy am I excited. I have turned into a movie crazy-freak-a-zoid for sure. I have seen so many movies in the past month:

Sideways
Aviator
Ray
Constantine
Hitch
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Hotel Rwanda
Million Dollar Baby

So yeah... Pretty much all the major movies have been seen. I just need to watch Closer, Vera Drake, and Maria full of Grace. Soon and very soon I will put my list for Oscar winners.

As a side note I really like the funny girl on American Idol and the other guy with the locks.

Friday, February 18, 2005

Here is Alyssa and me at the dance from Sunday. Whoo hoo. We were styling. Thanks to Mrs. Giorgi for sending the pics!!!

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

I use to dream that I would meet a prince(ss)...

But God Almighty! Have you seen what's happened since(ss)?

Call me a camel not a taxi, cause today is hump day. The week is going... beautiful. Michael, that is.... Beautiful.

Sunday was an awesome day of jammin. I hurt my knee at that dance, but hey at least I got to have a slow dance with three ladies. (I can mark that off of my list of things to do before I turn 30) But I am in much appreciation and gratitude to Alyssa and Nikki for setting up the event. Note to Alyssa-- I'd like to have that pic posted on my blog.

Monday was a long... long... day. It was fun cause Tanya worked all day. It is funny when my two worlds meet on Mondays. But she's fun to have with the kidos and it gives me time to relax a bit. "What's the point."

Tuesday was spent avoiding the night, but alas the clock moved along and night found me. I decided to face the devil in the eyes and did what I needed to do. But hey... Maybe I'll get 5 bucks for it. If I do whoo hoo that means I have cajones.

Today I did my alone time. Its exciting and new. Well I went to the OG and had lunch. I read a magazine and talked with Rose for a bit. She wants me to go dancing with her friends tonight. We'll see if I have energy to do that. The rest of the day I tried to call Andrew. No luck. But if you heard the rumors... They are true. I sounded like Ernie from Burt and Ernie today. I kept saying "Uhhhh hey Burt (well I said Cory but you get the idea)."

The future? What's in the future? I should be going to the movies tonight. We'll see if that works out.

My Work at My Home

Wah Lah! This was my Garage Sale-ing find. So the story goes that I went to Jim and Jenn's Garage Sale and I saw this normal old brown table. I thought to myself... Hum... Nice piece for my classroom. So I gave Jenn 5 bucks and then I went to Home Depot... Paid about 2 bucks for primer and a few pennies for some sand paper and I fixed 'er up after watching the BAFTAs. Then I used some old green paint (I had that from when Tanya passed out in my bedroom and Carrie and I were ready to call 911) and then was inspired to put a crocodile on the top. AH ha! 5 Little Monkeys Table... Perfect for the Preschool. So nevertheless... Here is the start of my work. Pretty good for less than two hours. I may put it on e-bay.
Here's the view from the side. Still wet.

Note To Viewer...

This site may have changed or been updated in the last weeks due to recent events. Enjoy.

You give me Fever...

Here is the new theme for my classroom. It was inspired when a kid told me "I have a fever." I thought oh yeah Jungle Fever... Ok I didn't think that. But it was a good tie in for... The Jungle! I'm excited to study all the different animals that live in the Amazon and such. I have hanging vines and real South American tools in the classroom. Awesome? I think so!
Flash... there's the wide shot.
Lovely ain't it? That's my new reading corner in my classroom I just set up this morning. That pillow was taken from Lisa's room... he he he. Except I always thought it was brown until I washed it. Go figure. You don't wash yourself, when will you wash your pillow! Love ya Li!

Goodbye to the Castle

This is the last picture I took to show our Classroom Kingdom! It was so awesome! The kids loved it. I had to crop it funny so I wouldn't get a kid in the picture when I post it online. But it did turn out really well. The inside was filled with princess gowns, soldier helmets, dragon costumes, and had a stage that the kids acted out stories on. It was totally magical.

I walked right down the middle of Main Street USA

Ooo Ahhh Ohhh.... Its time for a trip down memory lane. Welcome to the Mecca that I call Disneyland.
Me gusta. Parker is a smart dawg and told me to get a locker. Well we got one. But we printed the instructions on it in Spanish. Lucky for me I was able to translate the numbers into English.
Here is Meriwether. Or the Lewis... Or Parker. Or whatever his name is. Note to parents- He was told to wear his seatbelt. This is documentation of this order given.
Parker is excited. I told you he would be. But he actually is a bit angry. He believes that this sign tells you take pictures of the background and not the post. I totally disagree. Note however there are only 4 people in the background.
See.... I have to be honest. I work as a preschool teacher by day. But by night I model for GQ. Sorry everyone... I've been leading a double life.
See how content Parker looks. OK... Maybe he is a better GQ model. But still...
A ghost town of activity. Note to anyone wanting to go to Disneyland. Mondays are great days. Check out the line to Big Thunder!!!

The Best Week Ever?

VH1... Maybe I should be considered again...

My, my. This week proved to be a different series of events. While last week was a series of unfortunate events, this week proved to be a week of madness. Now, madness normally means that someone or something is feeling angry or perhaps it could mean a hectic feeling has come over a situation. However in this situation madness means that things were busy yet in some ways exciting.

The week started out with me singing in church. It’s interesting seeing other sides to the church, literally and figuratively. Jim wasn’t there on Sunday, so half of the group headed out to a place we call Orcutt and enjoyed some fine dining.
Tasty? I think so.

After that day, I was happy to spend time with Mr. Smokey the Bear and watch a movie. Entertaining? I think so.

Tuesday I worked and then watched Idol with the Chinese Woman. She kept getting strange calls on her phone. Once it was a silent call, I think it was a mime calling.
Hilarious? I think so.

The next day rolled around and I was happy to find that I had another night out and watched yet another movie with a new friend. I had a good time and I even ate popcorn.
Adventure? I think so.

The following day was the day before the day before tomorrow. I spent the day at work and the night singing… This was very fulfilling to me. My spirit needed that moment of expression.
Enjoyable? I think so.

The day before tomorrow is being spent sick and off of work. Fever and cough were brought on due to exposure and a lowered immune system. I guess I must be under some kind of stress or something. Go figure. Tonight I have Stats class and my body (or is it my brain) is telling me not to go. We’ll see what comes of that
Excited? I think not.

This next week I head out for my pilgrimage to Mecca. I just got a phone call confirming that I am taking the Lewis to my Clark with me. Well that’s what I hear now. If not I suppose I can be like some person who explored on his own… Umm… Who would that be? Oh well. I’ll just forget about this blog and enjoy my first sick day from my job.
Stoked? I think so.
