I borked my toe!

Yeah... tell me you know someone other than me that can manage to BREAK HIS FREAKING TOE getting out of bed in the morning. I've never broken any bones before, so this is sort of a big deal. And being that I broke a bone in my foot means that walking around SUCKS DONKEY NUTS. I'm having to walk around like a wounded duck waddling around the place, having people feel sorry for me and whatnot.

Here's how it went down. The alarm went off.. so I jump up and lean out of the bed on my left leg (I put the alarm clock out of reach.. cause if I don't I'll never get up). I still basically have my right leg in the bed and when I go to put my right foot down I completely and utterly fall flat on my face.. accompanied by a nice little "snap". My right leg was asleep and I didn't even realize it until it was too late. Refer to my "MAD" paint skills for a re-enactment.

So I lay there for a minute still trying to wake up and take in what the hell just happened. My leg is still asleep and I think I just broke my foot. Then I get that rush of nausea which I hear accompanies a broken bone... and I just lay there till that passes.

Being cheap I'm playing doctor here.. no need to pay 200 bucks for some MD to tell me that I broke my little toe. I sure would like some crutches though...

At least I got a guitar... :)

Maybe I'm Asian?

So yeah... I've had some of the closest people in my life tell me that I must have some Asian ancestry. First thing Maria does when this topic of conversation comes up is go to my wallet and gets out a picture of my grandmother (who is NOT asian) and says "she how Asian she looks".

Then this "Asian Issue" I have (don't get me wrong.. I love the Asians) came to the forefront during a roadtrip to see the David Crowder Band in Virginia a few years back. It was held at a Korean Church in a rather affluent suburb of Washington D.C. So we get close and pull into the parking lot, and there are dozens of church members wearing these reflective vests (and looking very Asian might I add). I see them waving at the cars in front of ours... then when we drive by the first guy he BOWS when we drive by. I think it's just an isolated incident... I look in my rear view mirror and the same guy who just BOWED to me is now waving at the non-Asian family in the car behind us.

So now we get to the next guy, and he's doing the same thing.. reflective vest, waving at the various families around.. then this guy really BOWS at our car. Maria and I break into hysterical laughter now... "they think I'm Asian? This is awesome!"

I made the mistake of telling my co-workers about this... from that day on they now BOW when they see me pull into the parking lot.

Funny Movies

I had a lot of fun at work the other day. It was a monday, so the office was nearly empty since we've gone to optional 4 day work-weeks. We got on the topic of funny movies and re-enacting our favorite clips. We got sidetracked on funny tv shows like "Seinfeld" and "The Office". But one scene a few of us really got a laugh about was the one in the movie "Old School" with Will Ferrell. There is a scene where he is at a children's birthday party and ends up shooting himself in the neck with a tranquilizer gun and falling to the bottom of the pool, then french kissing a guy. If you haven't seen it then you need to get out more.
