This May Explain Why I Haven't Seen Many Movies

Erica texted me today asking me about a Porky from the movie The Little Rascals (1994). I got to thinking about how much I watched that movie from 1994-1998. I'd say in total I've seen the movie at least 25 times all the way through. I have never watched any movie more this one not even some of the classics like: Blue Crush, FHE's The Velveteen Rabbit, or The Ewok Movie.

I believe to be the culprit as to why I never advanced my movie watching eyes to anything but this movie. The only thing comparable to how many time both Erica and I have seen it is how many more times we have quoted it. I bet that if I put the movie on tonight I would know at least half the movie by heart.

As a side note, Bug Hall got hot. Not Teddy Geiger hot, but hot.

Big old news guys: I dyed my hair a delightful chestnut color. So far I'm enjoying it. Here is a photograph to prove it:




Also, I got a call today from my five year old niece, Sydney asking if I wanted to buy girl scout cookies. this was the conversation:

me: hi
unidentified voice: hi.
me: who is this?
unidentified voice: Sydney.
me: hi Syd. i saw you left me a message.
syd: yeah. do you want to buy some girl scout cookies?
me: i'd love to buy some girl scout cookies.
syd: what kind?
me: how about some samoas and thin mints?
syd: okay. bye.

She sure does know how to do business.

Blogger is just as good as i am at grammar.

Not To Worry I Noticed Them Too

You may or may not have noticed in my last entry a grammatical error or two. I must admit to you now, I am not that fantastic with grammar or editing my work. Usually when editing I just read what I want it to say instead of what is actually written. I have just realized that perhaps that's a reading problem and not an editing one. I will investigate that situation further at another juncture in time. I have one major pet peeve: further and farther are in fact two separate words with different meanings which cannot and should not be interchanged at the users will.

However, my anger toward people who use further and farther incorrectly was not the intention of this post. The intention is that I have decided which may or may not be a good thing to not get embarrassed by my grammatical misjudgments and to instead embrace them as my own literary personality. By no means am I trying to make a mockery of the English language but rather try not to be so worried about mistyping 'is' for 'it' and 'lines' instead of 'lined.' Also, now I can be totally lazy and let you decode my actual message. See, we both win that way. With my new lack of editing style it is lucky for you this thing has spell check or this would become a game I promise you wouldn't want to play.

Maui's Back Roads

I realized today one of the best things about Maui and as you may have guessed from the title of this blog it is indeed the back roads. Whenever roads were blocked you always had another way around. The back roads were always lines with trees engulfed with wild vines. The sun would shine in through the holes which was nice except on the the road to Kihei (which isn't really a back road anyway) because the holes in the trees were too big making you feel like you were getting a migraine. (see the following photo for reference)

I found out today that one of my favorite back roads (the one to the airport) has been demolished and in its stead will be shops and hotels. I believe slowly but surely the paradise will soon be sucked out of Maui so if you want to see anything worth remembering make sure to vacation there in the near future. Then again maybe not. I could perhaps sell bottles of my memories of the paradise that once was for quite a sum of money. Yes, please do not visit Maui in the near future or ever for that matter and instead by my bottled paradise memories. I promise the packaging will be nice.


Additionally, I just spend the last hour googling photos of my native land's back roads attempting to find exactly the right photo. I then realized I couldn't narrow it down at which point I am left with no other choice then to post them all. So I suppose this is a little taste of what's left of my island paradise and my bottled memories. I will not charge for this initial trial period. Please comment if you are interested in purchasing the bottled paradise memories in full (remember the packaging is going to be awesome).
