One down, 30 to go!

So, last month, I put together a list of 31 things that I'd like to do before my 32nd birthday in 2009. Well, I hereby declare one of them done! It is...

25. Go line dancing.

That's right, I went line dancing. Last night, I went to Oil Can Harry's with Christopher and gave line dancing a shot. It was fun and terrifying at the same time. I went into this thinking, "oh, line dancing is just a bunch of people doing the same three or four steps in unison while some country music plays." Oh, I was wrong...

No level of "Dance Dance Revolution" (which itself is boggling to me) could have prepared me for this! Two steps forward...shuffle...turn around...heel up...rotate...walk around...AHHH! The gears were turning on overdrive and it's even harder where there aren't arrows to step on and follow on a hyperkinetic video screen!

I swear, I was ready for Bruno, Carrie Ane, Nigel Lythgoe, and Mary Murphy to jump onto the floor and drag me off saying, "please, please stop!"

All that said, it was a LOT of fun and I'd do it again. And to top it off, discovered a fun cover of "Downtown" by Dolly Parton (we think) in the process!

I will say...I have a MUCH MUCH greater respect for anybody that does choreographed dancing. I'd even tip my cowboy hat to you...if I was wearing one!

NEW PICTURE WEEK: Buzzed and Rocked Out

Some more new additions to the photo album! This time, I've added some pics to the 2007 Pics album. First up...

Pics from my summer excursion with Josh and Daniel to the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank

The last pics I snapped up in 2007 hanging with some friends during New Year's Eve.

Coming up tomorrow...Tales from the land of Mickey and Mika...

It's New Picture Week!

Each this week, I'll be uploading a new set of pics to the site. Today's upload is a new album featuring pics from the 31st birthday party I had a few weeks ago.


The theme was 31...as in flavors...as in ice cream. The centerpiece of the party was a contest in which guests brought an ice cream-themed dish...Whoa to those who were lactose intolerant that night! Click the pic above to check out the pics or follow this link.

Can it get any better?

Best new fast-food invention in a while...

Catch that Pepsi spirit

So, I've been drinking some Pepsi and Justin Timberlake is still nowhere near my house...what's up with that!

I want some answers, Pepsico!
