Noels recent memory about being in Elementary School and stuffing things in his mouth, reminded me about a time that we were learning about the 5 types of tastes and learning about which sections of the tongue taste certain flavors.  To test this, we had an assortment of items like sour juice, bitter coffee, sweet sugar and much more.

Everything was fine until the students placed coffee beans on my mouth and I practically choked.  I spit them out immediately and blew so hard that the coffee beans went all over the place.

It was a complete mess.

When I was a kid, I went on a fun outting with Nick and his dad. I was so close to this guy and his family that they invited me out to every event they practically attended.

I really dont remember much about the canoe trip, but the onyl thing that stands out is the fact that it was very cold outside and I just wore a sweater and shorts.

I remember the river was more chilled out, but I might be wrong.

We stopped a few times for breaks.

Mostly Nick and I probably just were ourselves goofing off and being complete idiots!

For my new years resolution in 2006, I told myself that I would run a marathon.  But telling yourself is one thing and doing is another.  But I trained and trained some decent miles all throughout the spring and summer, but my uncle Kirt was the true inspiration for me seriously considering it.

He is a newer runner than I but he has the passion for running that I have missed.  I havent had great passion since I quit college cross country my junior year.

Anyway, he kept up with me and my training and we both signed up for the Detroit Marathon.

On the night before the race I had to go to a wedding and I didnt get much sleep.  When we arrived in downtown detroit at 4:30 AM, we both took had a BM but were extremely nervous for our first marathon.  I had something happened in the toilet that really pissed me off.  I pretty much sprayed on myself and my shorts because it was so dark if you know what I mean.  It sucked and pissed me off... . . .

So when I was in 7th grade, my parents were gracious enough to take a huge family trip out west to visit my Uncle Mike, Sheila and my cousins Drew and Sean .

I am still so gracious of them for taking us, because I had such an amazing experience. Even though in all of the photos I have no smiles in them.

I guess I dont remember or have time to post every little thing, so I will just post the major things that happened.

On the flight over there, my parents got a cheap "Milk run" that stopped over about 3 times. This was disasterous to my mom and mys stomach and we both ended up barfing together on the last leg.

I barfed out some ranch doritos, so it was absolutely disgusting as you can imagine.

The main reason why we got so sick was not the milk run, but the maneuvers that the airplane did. It pretty much did a complete inversion and turn around before landing.

I remember seeing some old lady next to me being disgusted.

We chilled for a while once we got there, but then . . . Read More..

For a couple of years, I always went out on Halloween with David. We always had fun doing it and since we were both in Cross Country, we decided to run from every house to the next. I always thought it was funny that David was the oldest person I knew and saw that still went out for the candy.

His costumes were always so simple, normally a black robe and a really awesome mask. Those masks were always so bloody sweet. So, we did this for a few years. I believe on the last year I went with David, he stole a bunch of candy from the Wilson's house because he knew Colin's brother. It was pretty funny.

Now I mostly go with my friends. My main group is Josh, Monger, and Doug if he isn't doing stuff. I remember about 2 years ago I went around with just Monger. We spent most of our time running from Christmas carolers or Monger was trying to anger them and getting hit for it. Weird way to spend a Halloween.
