Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today

Yep, you can get frostbite on your cheeks. Short story:

A few weeks ago when the wind chill had gone below freezing, my dad decided that he would definitely go out and cut branches off the tree in the front yard. I was recruited to help, since I was "his only son that Jehovah had 'blessed'(said sarcastically) him with and if I loved him, then I'd get my butt out there to help him." So I put on my heaviest gloves, hat and coat and went out. The majority of the time I spent carrying logs across the yard to the street. After awhile, I got sick of doing that and so I begin walking halfway and throwing the logs into the street. My dad was doing something up in the tree, and asked me to grab a rope or somehting, and then when I didn't get what he was trying to do he started yelling at me. I was cold, miserable, and he'd made me miss a party I wanted to go to, and I got angry. And here's the point. I was really angry and as my face begin to show the anger, I realized, it wasn't doing much of anything because I couldn't move it. . .I couldn't even talk really. To my dad's credit, after I stated that I was angry, but too cold to argue with him, he decided to take a break, and we went inside and talked it out, got it done, and bonded. Awww. . .

Before mongo does his best to get the guys from Cookeville killed, I would like to reiterate the fact that Cookeville is only trash talking to Greeneville, and only because we know those guys well and realize they will not take it personally. We love them, they love us – it’s a big, happy family.

And as for the ‘bama game, let’s do it. We like to play football for the fun of it. We’re they kind of players that try not to take things too seriously, and most of us would agree the most fun we’ve had playing football came in a game we lost. It was great game, though! So whenever you guys are ready, just let us know. We can finalize things whenever. It would be cool to get Tre in the mix, though – he sounds like a fun guy.

In parting, don’t pay too much attention to mongo – once you meet him, you’ll understand his sense of humor. Keep in touch, guys. You got my email address if you need to get in touch with me.

to Dylan - in response to yesterday's post,

although i would probably give you a stern look of disapproval myself if i were behind you at the post office, i appreciate your support just the same.

perhaps we should both work at bettering our reputation with the postal service - ordinarily i would say: "forget them - we shouldn't have to be subject to their cruelty just because they are disgruntled for being jammed into the box-cars of the system!"

but i kind of like knowing that my bills are paid on time (nudge nudge).

so its a cruel oligopsony, but like all others, one that we must bow to, unless we want to start sending our parcels by ox-cart.

The first time you try to snowboard is usually a horrible experience. I remember after the 20th time I fell, it was pretty bad, I couldn't walk much after that one, and I wanted to go home. But after a while, when the pain had gone away a bit, I got back on the board...and fell flat on my face.

... no no no... wasnt miserable. I'm rule!... not. but i didnt hate it... but my whole body hates that i feel that way. (oh... mi bum..)

Did Jerm just say, "I'm rule. . .not"? What the heck have you been doing in Canada man?

Jerm, give it 3 solid full days on the mountain and you'll be carving like a pro,

hey theres even a ski slope in AL you could ride at when you get back home. Granted it is a glorified cow pasture but hey whadya expect from a ski slope in Bama?

>>>> Late feb is good. As far as mark you know him he is always hurt. I talked with jay he agreed late feb early march. As far as tre playn we welcome him to join us if he wants, we are goin to be pushin it to get a full team. But i must admit it would be nice if you came to g'ville again. Also I am sending a challenge out to you guys for a little golf. Get a team and come down when it warms up. What am I saying? "Its warm now". Like say a four man best ball. Winners choose next location. Anyways get back in touch with me.

Let me add a few things to today's posts:

1) Javann is one of my favorite people in the world.

2) I miss the Canadians! 'Ello up there, and if Jeremy didn't pass on the message, hold fast in our fight against the COLD SQUAD until I can return!

3) Mallory is having a red-letter word day. Amongst some circles this would seem sycophantic, but I don't believe there is an obsequious bone in her Edward Jonesian body.

4) Why don't we combine snowboarding and football so that we can merge the sports posts? Think about it. Snowboarding had it's way with me and I had to give it up, but after watching Out Cold again last night, I feel a hankering growing for the slopes. Also...SAN DIEMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!!!

5) "what the heck have you been doing in Canada man?" In response to that, I will just say that the first time I walked through the streets of Vancouver with the girls I had to keep stopping and sniffing until I was informed that, yes, Mary Jane was legal there.

6) A ski slope in Bama is like a ski slope in the Smokies...laughable.

D.A.

AHH football and snowboarding.......... good deal.

Football and snowboarding would be awesome. . .very awesome. And Tre could play then. Because a ruptured achilles tendon can't possibly stop someone from playing snowboardfootball.

Snowboard quotes---

"Its kinda fun, once you get past the excruciating pain part"--me after my first time snowboarding

"You know if you don't land a back flip this season, you might as well not go at all, because it will be a total waste of time"---my 16 year old nephew talking to my 12 year old niece...oh boy, can't wait till I take them when I go visit CA next month, hopefully I'll live through it

It seems many people took me too seriously when I said no trash talking. My rant about trash talking was actually supposed to be trash talk itself. I'm just not too good at it. I'm normally best at silencing other trash talkers. That's right, I went there. I'm talking trash. But Doc says 6-9 months before my achilles is okay. So you guys may have to play and then play again when I'm better. But I welcome a piece of Greenville and Cookeville. And I welcome trash talking. Because it will be silenced in due time.

There needs to be a local (local is relative to the east coast) ski trip sometime soon, I have not been skiing since last year, and I am not about to go two years without skiing

anybody up for doing a "cheap" ski trip sometime next month? preferably someplace where the "snow" is snow and not ice

I have been skiing on regular skiis for a while and want to try the snowboard out, but I am afraid that I will get very impatentient with the bunny slopes while I am learning

I think that football on trick skiis would work, you can actually do a lot of fun stuff on those

"I have been feeding from the hand of mother Micro$oft for so long that I do not know what else is out there. She has drawn me into her bosom and I have not been able to escape..."
- someone at work after I suggested using some software on Linux to accomplish a given task

Hey were going to winterplace in feb there will be some skiers with us. If you wanna go we rent condos on the slope. e-mail me if you wanna. If you just want cheap come up to tenn, every thursday Men get free lift tickets @ ski beech. ne waz thats all I have to say about that.

To Tre:

Check your Prospect workbook, i.e. the first page. Oh, and I left you an extra candy. I would've left you two extra, but I figured that'd just make the other guys jealous.

To Brent:

Uh. . .eeww.

Now Jerm you know how my feet felt. haha!
