Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today

Tommy Friday

Sorry for the delay in People Fridays, They've been a bit hectic. But the day... one of the days we've all been waiting for is here. Tommy Friday. That's right, Tommy, the one and only. I've known Tommy for oh about well, since I moved here. Tommy is definitely unique, and will always stand out of the crowd. Sometimes due to his own antics sometimes due to his own uniqueness. Those who know Tommy know few have the passion about many things Tommy does. (Or the ability to zone out at times). So when you hear the word Tommy what comes to mind? Well one of the first things, is of course, impulsive full throttle dancing. That's right, be it dancing around a group of line dancers, or jumpin around at a concert (or attacked by goths).

Then of course you think of his singing ability. No one can sing like Tommy, where does it come from again? True passion, that's where. Its almost like he knew what emo was before he knew what emo was. Maybe it was an issue of singing the wrong genre, that turned people at first, but I knew his true ability. One of the great singers in music history.

Then of course there is his nature to rial people up... hmm he's like a little brother (or older brother, depending on how you look at it) to all of us.

But in all accounts, he is one who truly is a lover of activities, and most of all a good spiritual brother. Always with a focus on spiritual things, he is to be commended on his focus.

But there are all to many other stories, California (camping on top of a mountain, trying to get eaten by bears) to moments on the lake teaching us to ski.

Tommy Bruce, you'll not meet another like him... add your stories.

Matt and Wyatt Friday

You know there have been several names that have gone together always here as we've met new people on these Fridays... And Matt and Wyatt are one of these. True I've only known them for a month, and I've been mistaken for them on the phone (Because all Americans Sound the Same to Canadians... Or so I've been told).

Matt and Wyatt live in Washington, and if you ever get to meet them, well you'll never forget the experience. A couple of the nicest guys you've ever met. And if you say... hey jump in the river its like 35 degrees... they are quiet eager to do it. (As you see above... well actually thats the hot springs 160 degrees next to the frigid river... but they did take it the cool chill.

Actually I think they are into pain and abuse... willing to take pumelings to the body. Neither complain about wounds they may have to endure.

Of course there were those moments we did think alike. Wyatt had just gone in the store to get some microwave popcorn (which he popped in the store). One bag remained. He looked at me... with the words "You think it will pop under the car hood?" The scary thing, I was thinking the same thing. So for the next 150 miles, we attempted to pop a bag of popcorn on the manifold. The only results, a nice popcorn smell coming through the vents (until the next day when we had forgoten about it and burnt the popcorn). Next time, we'll get the aluminum pan type popcorn... I still believe it will work.

The kings of skank beer... and deserving of there own tv show... these two will certainly make you laugh.

Leave your stories.

Zack and Hannah Friday

Good times, good times indeed. Last weekends jaunt up to Nashville found these two Gibson's ready to show there... there... well desire to end up on Misconstruedthoughts?

I've known these two for a year or two, and are both fun individuals... but there week point... well if you challenge them to do something. It's probably going to happen.

Hannah, may not be expected to be this type at first, but give her a little prompting, and in no time, well she's up to the task. The task of last week? It was unknown, to be randomly drawn from a deck of cards from an odd game... when we decided eating a box of packing peanuts my kill her, her second draw led to the drinking of a fresh cracked raw egg. (Although She didnt eat the shell). Her reward 5 dollars, she failed to specify where she wanted this five dollars from.

Zack on the other hand willingly set forth to drink a gallon of milk... a gallon of milk in 30 minutes. He had confidence, was vocal and funny about it... (Hey thats Zack in a nutshell). Anyways, after much coaxing... prompting pushing... and cheering... well... Zack lost it after 2/3 a gallon of milk was gone.

Enjoy the pics below that tell the story it tells the story...

the crowd was excited... cheering Zack on...

Chug the Jug... Zack putting his all into it...

The end results (viewer discretion is advised)

The Schedel Folks

Well here I am a week into a Canadian Experience. (Yes that is my left shoulder still in pain). Anyways. Its everyones favorite time of the week. Or not... Its a return to somone Friday. And today we feature John and Paulette Schedel. I must say some very hospitable folks. (In fact its almost like the south... only slightly NorthWestern).

John is one of the greatest characters I've ever met. He loves stories. Not just any stories... the same stories (j/k). But he has one of the greatest skills, a dry non changing voice which can go from serious to comical with no influx in voice at all. Example: last night.

Jeremy: Did you see that guy spin out in the road yesterday?
John: Yes, crazy people. What are they thinking. I would never do that.
Jeremy: I think they maybe did it on purpose.
John: But on this road?
John: I would only do that with my bus full of people, old ladies screaming, I'd whip it into the Safeway (Grocery Store) parking lot start spinning around slidding sideways.
John: (Mild laugh)

Very funny stuff (BTW, he is a public bus driver). Anyways, he loves his music too. (AND JD). A good guy indeed.

Paullette is a very caring person (and really hard working)... maybe a shock in contrast at first; but a generally caring person. (A mom's mom?) Anyways... noone else has ever given me a backrub... so hey thats high on the way cool scale. But a good caring person who has helped make the trip a like home experience. She even deemed me "Nicer than I thought you would be" So hey, I guess its all good.

But yes a very contrasting couple that work well together... and whose meeting you shall never forget. Add your stories.

Its Kevin Friday

Well It's Kevin Friday... (Not the other Kevin, this Kevin... now we're getting into multiple names). Anyway the Kevin you see above on one of his Milk Mustache Photo Sessions in the late 90's. As you know they only get the greatest, musicians or artist or sports hero's for such pictures. Kevin would fall into the later. Well known for his speed (although not as fast as a speeding locamotive), he is a lover of sports. In fact he's probably watching football right now.

But there are things you may not know about Kevin. He's an avid reader, if there is a book around he'll pick it up soon, and he likes wildlife. (As you see him here in search of the rare midnight butterfly). But really Kevin is a super nice guy... pretty much always with a smile (or smirk) on his face... and ready to give out a hardy head tipping laugh. (Well except that brief period when he was considering jumping off ledges) Oh and he'll never really talk about people bad... its rare he gets caught in the mire of gossip.

And Never forget his rib eating skills!

Anyway, Kevin... Kevin Friday add your stories...

Brent Friday

So this week has a theme. If you have an online photoalbum you have to be careful about sending it to me. This is the second time this has become apparent this week. The only thing that seperatesyou from a Friday is probably enough pictures. (Well "unique" pictures).

Anyway its Brent Friday. All those who know Brent know he's well.. a geek. But the beauty of it is he is proud of this geekdom. Myself being somewhat a geek to ( I do have a webpage, and I'm humored by physics... ) But all you promoters of bad geek sentiment be gone! For in reallity behind those odd facts, weird interest, and unlikely choice to wear bows in their hair: Geeks are cool robust people. Not Robust in the sense of strong muscular. Anyway...

Take for instance Brent. He has a good interest in music. He is up for a good outdoor activity be it Dodge Ball, or Wake Boarding. He has well known sayings like... "Thats really cool..." You just have to be around him.

And then He'll go out on a limb and do goofy stuff to himself. Here we see him experimenting with the posibilty of having a mustache. But low and behold... now he's really going for it.

So today Add your stories... and also vote:

Should Brent Grow a Mustache?

Jason and Emily Friday

This picture says it all Brother Sister Love... (Note edited to pass all web rules previously placed by Emily on Pictures)

You've seen them, you've met them... you've thought they were married... now you can tell your stories. Its Jason and Emily Friday.

Its funny how you meet people once, then never see them again... until the day comes where you see them every other weekend. For that reason, I have several stories about Jason and Emily. While brother and sister, because of their interactions... many confuse them as being married (can't say I ever made that confusion... but anyways). To watch them interact is quiet comical.. and often the source of the classic Full House (Awwww...Makes you wanna have a group hug) (They would come running to each others aid in reality... despite the words exchanged occasionaly) Emily once described their family as the Cleavers. (Probably not a false statement). Which means someone is Eddie Hascle we know.

But anyways. You do have to keep careful around them... they will get you. Quick on their wits, you have to be ready at any moment. But of course this does lead to some good long conversations about nothing (Seinfield like... my favorite kind of conversation).

And never tell either they cant do something. (You can't get out in that flock of birds and not get pooped on... ) They have a strong will for adventure! (OK, so maybe emily makes others do the work in that adventure...) And they'll travel to any distance for that adventure. (Hey lets go eat some root that burns your mouth horribly... "OK"... we'll drive 900 miles to do that... Well Jason will just watch).

And on a final note Jason... please get rid of that mustache you paint on your face ;) (And hold down the drinking at the hall).

Oh and Sister Harper, despite what Jason and Emily Say you can comment...

Add your Jason Emily Stories.

The Bravo Brothers Friday

Five years ago I worked temp at bethel in the Engineering Department. There I worked with Ramiro Bravo in the Mechanical Department. But more than that I met Roberto Bravo... In fact he was my roommate for 2 weeks. That’s right I was Roberto's first roommate at Bethel. Now however, Roberto and Ramiro have been at Bethel for over 4 years. These two shine out as great examples for us all...

OK so at this point you say... who is Ramiro... well here is a picture of him see if you can pick him out of the crowd... Roberto has his thumb up.

Roberto now works in the Electrical Engineering Department (Seen in his cubical above...). (I think he was moving though). But there service goes beyond Bethel Service. Ramiro serves in a Spanish congregation in Queens (Which I was privileged to attend his bookstudy (and even commented (hope it made sense... ah what’s it matter, i don’t make sense even in English). Roberto is learning Chinese so that he can serve in the Chinese congregations in New York City.

These two learned the truth on their own when they were young 10-11. And in time there parents would come in the truth as well. Their childhood was much different than most ours... as they not only did the above, but also moved to the States from South America. This summer I then had the privilege to meet there parents as well... who were serving temporary at Bethel.

These guys will always shine out as fine example, and very humble unique brothers. Keep up the good work guys.

Leave your stories if ya may know them... although I'd say this is a couple of new guys to most here.

Tremaine Friday

Well when someone makes a big step... its like hey Why not a Friday, Tremaine is getting married! OK, not really. He does have his first public talk this Sunday. (As does Tommy so don’t miss those events).

Also of note, Tremaine finally completed his academic career this year. After years of pain through the Mechanical Engineering Program... he now is a free man. Now he has to see if he actually learned anything.... and next week he makes the big step of movin out.

So tremaine stories. Ha, is there any end to them? Whether he's setting himself on fire (which he is not good at); leaving others phone numbers on receipts so they can be contacted by waitresses; spouting off peoples numbers over loud speakers at restaurants; jumping off a cliff; or whatever...

If you come up with an idea, and most people wouldn't do it... Tremaine will...

This is the essence of Tremaine.

For instance, when we were in Hawaii, we found this hole in the cliff we were on, that went into the ocean. Well of course. There was only one thing to do... try jumping in the hole, and then escape without getting smacked against the cliff rock walls, (when the waves are going up and down 20 feet, this creates a challenge). (It was cool though because people said they were going to just follow us around on our trip and tape us, because we proved entertaining).

Watch Tremaine jump from such cliffs in Hawaii...

Speaking of Challenges... don’t challenge Tremaine, he folds under the pressure. And actually he could end up doing anything (like eating enough Jalapeno Peppers to Sterilize a Grown man... hmmm?

Anyway watch Tremaine fold under pressure in this 5 minute video.

Well add your tremain stories... I know you have them!

The Boys of North Dakota Friday

So I return from a week in North Dakota, and good times indeed were had! So its time for you to meet the boys from North Dakota (TBFND). These are some good guys with their heads on strait. Easy going, considerate, fun, and spiritually minded. I mean we are talking the essence of the type folks ya wanna hang around! And let me tell ya, it was never ending joking and laughing through the week... OK... there was a lot of pain too... in fact it continues, I don’t know why I cant feel my Left Leg anymore.

Anyways, who are these guys? Well First off ya have Jared... Or Iron Man Waltzer (Because He never gives up on an uphill... even with us all pushing) as we called him. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have met the rest of these guys. 5 years ago, we traveled to Devils Lake North Dakota to do Unassigned Territory. We stayed with Jared for 3 weeks then. So 2 weeks ago he IM me, and tells me of a bike trip... by ticket purchased... bags packed, the rest is history.

Then there is Jason, Jared’s Brother, who I must say is one non complaining type sole... riding a rigid Mountain bike for 60 miles, I am impressed by this mans skills! He spent 6 years at Bethel... and his spiritual side shone, as deep in the trail he pulled out his latest Watchtower to read.

Then Matt... the Man who loves his downhills, but well... that results in problems sometimes. A funny guy indeed who loves the off the wall conversation which you have grown to be common place here in the land of misconstrued. He's been pioneering the last couple of years... And despite heat stroke, near death experiences, he pressed on through the trip.

Dylan... I pity the man who down my boy Dylan. You maybe have seen him post on the site. He's been a regular for the last year. Never meeting until the last week... I must say Dylan has worked his way into Mr. Macintosh History by providing one of the most extraordinary performances in an attempt of being in the Macintosh Family. (Those confused, dont worry your day of Mr. Macintosh will come... hahahha).

And finally Mike. Mike is My Favorite Person In North Dakota. He should be everyone’s favorite person in North Dakota. For he was the one that saved all our lives. (OK, not Dylan he didn’t ride with us). As we pummeled our bodies on the trail, Mike waited at our check points, to make sure we weren't dead, and to give us our needed Cliff Bars (gagging sounds), Extra Strength Tylenol, and Water. With out him sitting around waiting on us for 4 days, there is no way we could have finished the trip.

So there ya have it TBFNK. Some great guys, and a good example for all of us. If you are ever really lost, go by and hang out with em. Or who knows maybe one day they'll even take off their Parkas and head to the south. Add your stories about the boys...

Mom and Dad Friday

OK, well this picture, and a trip back home has inspired well Mom and Dad Friday, or for those who don't call them Mom and Dad, Dwight and Mona Myers Friday.

This year found dad retiring from his school teaching position which he has had for the last 30 years. Now he has moved on to the world of carpentry, which he has always done in the summers. Also of course he spends plenty of time taking care of the farm as well.

Dad and teaching goes hand in hand. Everyone in Greeneville knows who Mr. Myers is. He's the crazy teacher many would retort. But also say he is the one who helped them realize they needed to try harder, or take life serious. Dad always cared about his students, that was obvious. (Because the ones who give the most discipline, actually have the most love)... that theory didn't go untrue at home either.

I used to wonder where I got my more crazy wacky side, and knew that some came from Moms Side (The McCoy show off gene)... But when I had dad in class, and watched him fire a ping pong ball into the forehead of the exchange student using fire and propellants; or watched him standing on desk teaching; or watched his other crazy antics... well everything made a little more sense. But I have always lookedup to dad... even when he taught me to be a punk... j/k.

One of my favorite stories is about when Mom and Dad just got married, dad was trying to make Nitro Glycerin and ended up blowing up the Bathroom.

Mom is always the one you joke around with more though. Not whinny.. (really she's not). Always laughing and with a smile on her face. While dad had his strict, we have to work... schedule, no time for fun attitude, mom usually could make things a little lighter. Mom brings the Leave it to Beaver Element to the family (Well Dad does to I guess)... But cooking, fixing, sewing, mending, gardening, all are mom's forte. (She’s an artist to if she'd ever get started again... as you see here... wait thats just scarry.).

I have to show alot of appreciation to them both though. They allowed so many experiences and hobbies growing up. (So now I know a little about everything from cooking to model planes (yeah I did fly that plane didn’t I this weekend to Building Barns to shooting Muzzleloaders) We always had the family trips, and they both thought it was very important to learn new things. They have both always been both great spiritual examples, and examples in general in life.

So to you Mom and Dad ... I say thank you. And to those who've not met them.... its high time you did... For something is always brewing in the mind of a Myers.

Limp Tent Friday I mean Phillip Friday

Phillip Friday, the Winner of Alabama Survivor Friday. (Yes we created an alliance, thats why I got second). I must say I have not known Phillip that long, but I have to say this guy makes me laugh. I mean Phillip is top quality humor at its finest. I don't know that’s not always Phillips goal, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, for anytime you start laughing, well he's usually right behind you. And I have to admit he reminds me a lot of my good friend Kevin.... (to pull in a reference for those who may not know him).

There have been those major events in life he was there, Alabama football game, Phantom Planet, always a contender in the never ending dodge ball festivities of Alabama.

And the boy has incredible endurance, passing the test, of cave climbs, and hikes throught the mountains in the dark. Running up the side of hills....

Phillip he's a great guy, you should get to know him.

Leave your stories about Phillip, on this Phillip Friday.

Itzjerm Itzfriday

Well the entries were made and Itz Jerm friday. Jeremy is the creator of thoughts behind misconstrued thoughts. Bringing the world together... hoping to make it a happy/inteligent/creative place. I've known Jeremy from the begining, Infact I"ve known him longer than anyone. True he irritates me to death sometimes (for example he just deleted this whole post, and I had to restart). Anyways, alot of people try to figure him out, but I just link it back to his "floating" childhood. No in actuallity those times Jeremy seems confused, or "floating" its probably his allergies kicking in... alergies are the one thing he's great at.

Anyways, Jerm and I even went to school together. He definitly was a geek. In fact, it led to multiple beat downs, and we know for sure that he couldnt defend himself. But he always said that helped build character. He's a pretty constant person, I mean he's alway had bad hair, always lacked the same abilities. But he like creativity, in any form that involves creation. In fact I scrounged this up, one of his first videos... (a news program).

Of course now he just continues his goal to bring happiness/creativity/education to the world. Many who know him might see these things, others may just reflect on him being a bit crazy er uh.. eccentric? Alright one story about Jerm..

When He was 12 we had gone to a waterpark. He headed to the changing room. Being the modest lil boy he was he decided to change in a shower stall, as he came out... he was welcomed with shreaks... seems he had not noticed which dressing room he had entered. End result an embarrasing day, the rest of the day for ol Jerm. So bad he had to grow a beard to change his idenity.. oh wait that was just while he was in africa...

Anyways, add your stories for this the one the only, the misconstrued reader (all 6 of em) voted, Jeremy Friday. Oh and as for that education part... I think you need to read more science books... get some for free.. here!

Darcie Friday Its coming...

Darcie Friday, it has arrived. This week I have been converting old home videos over to digital videos. And when it comes to the Myers home video collection, well it is proof that Darcie's life has been preserved on film. You may know Darcie, as a quiet, mild, person who doesn't like to be showy... focused on what she needs to do.

But quiet, mild, these words were not always true. Today you Get to know the other Darcie, The Darcie I grew up with.

Now don't get me wrong. I mean Darcie and I got along well as kids, (well we still do). But in reality it was a reversal of roles back in those days, I was the more quiet reserved one. Darcie however was flitting around, talking to everyone, asking for something from everyone. The following is a video voyage into the youth of Darcie....

Now even when Darcie was little she was exposed to alot of situations... (thats life in the Myers home)... there are always new things to learn, and new environment to experience. (For instance the swimming pool ). And yes I wa always there to provide support. Darcie always loved her swing... a happy little gal she was. Even now darcie is a sugar attic, and thats nothing new, she's been that way since she was little.

As Darcie got older she continued to try new things. While her cordination was off at first, after taking ballet, and dance for years she now is very cordinated. Of course as Darcie got older, she went through what was the "cute" state, where all kids make funny comments, from their view of the world.

But after that "cute" age.. came the I NEED ATTENTION age! And her need for attention would continue for quiet some time. And she was demanding to! She always let people know what she wanted, and what she expected. And she was always determined to learn something new. But she was always loving, caring so much for everyone and everything... especially her cats... poor cats.

So that is a voyage into the past... of who darcie was growing up... not as many stories today as just videos, for the stories abound so greatly. But add your stories on this... DARCIE Friday.

Darryl Friday... The many stories.. the legend lives...

So tis Darryl Friday. He found a very fitting role in this summers DC playing the part of the evil priest. After the convention I headed down to rebuke his wicked acts, and found him attacking his unexpecting father. Of course under a mosaic law, would his father be accountable for his sons wicked ways... and there for through his wicked acts would he be bringing judgment on his father, making him holy.. wait that doesn’t make sense...

Anyway, so who is darryl behind those beards, fancy garb, evil look?

OK, there he is, more than you bargained for...

Anyways, ol Darryl and I go back to the glory days of the Greeneville Congregation before we all went our own ways. Camping trips were a normal part of the days... (the above picture is from one of our common canoe/camping trips). I'll relate a few more camping trip stories.

One winter we decided to do some camping, to test our skills. As we headed out we thought with confidence we were ready to tackle the wilderness. Yes our confidence was apparent, but this would pass soon. For 10 minutes later Nathan fell into the creek. (Note the temperature was around 20F). Pressing on, minus a few of nathans toes, we headed up the mountain to find the Appalachian Trail. However we would end up losing it because there was so much snow on the trails. We were concerned but did find the trail, and made it to Jerry's Cabin, on the AT. There we made it through one of the most miserable nights of all our lives. With a temperature of about -10F, snow falling, we were actually concerned about our futures. We got a fire started, at which point I burnt the bottom out of my socks trying to get warm. (I didn’t feel it either for I was so cold). That night Darryl would keep waking me up saying "Are you awake Jeremy?" I wouldn’t be till he started asking, and the key here... remember to always buy a good sleeping bag. When we woke up the next day, we headed off the mountain, we couldn’t get a fire started, and all the food and water we had was frozen solid. We did escape the mountain that day, of course Darryl kept falling as we walked off the mountain, for there was ice under the snow... I just love the body print of this massive fall... Sorry Darryl still remember you being ticked I took this picture.

The next camping story is the last camping story... it was when we tackled the AT one spring. As we headed out everything seemed to be good, but after about 2 miles, the boys began to tire... After another 8 miles, things were looking bad... Of course when darryl found out his picture was being taken he perked up (had to keep up his strong manly image!) We would stop to camp soon, and part of the problem was then found, Darryl’s pack was a good 55 lbs, as he carried the iron skillet, the cooking grate, bottle of vodka, and other things not often carried by the average backpacker. (My pack was 30 lbs). That night too Darryl learned not to stuff snow down my pants, for in such occurrence the moon will come out! The next day we headed out on the final 15 miles of the hike... and seems everyone came down sick except me... this led to me carrying others packs the last mile, and then a mandatory rationing of the remaining toilet paper.

There is a lot more to talk about when it comes to Darryl, (The winter sledding, the ice skating on the pond, the random fun in the snow (this is a couch we built) but we'll stop here.

So expound on the oh so many other stories about Darryl on this...Darryl Friday

Jen, Christine, n Haley Friday

So if you are ever roaming the towns of California, and enjoying some of the great music which is so common to California, no doubt you shall run into Jen. Jen has a wonderful taste in music, and therefore is often found enjoying the greatness of such music. (I don’t think I’ve ever called anyone who told me they got whiplash at a Muse Concert). And where Jen is found, well Christine is never far behind, or vise versa... And Haley, well Haley is there lil sister, who I must say is one of the most intelligent hilarious little gals I've ever met!

Anyways, good times abound when I think back to the Jechristley days...
Last summer we enjoyed good times in the mountains of California. (their mom trusted me with the family SUV to drive ever one around... with such trust I had no choice but to drive nothing like myself). But good times abounded...and Haley and I even got some quality art time in!

No one I believe has a love of animals equivalent to Jen! She defnitly loves her dog, and Christine often makes fun of the fact Jen basically views her dog as a human. But its a sign of Jens good heart. (And Christines similarity in my thinking process).

Numero uno Jen story was the 2nd day I had met her, and we decide to hike Behind Yosemite falls, a half mile high waterfall... Yes we were far from being on the trail, and it was quiet like a hurricane. But hey I knew Jen was cool then.... as she cracked open a bottle of ensure?

I cant' say I've been to Hawaii with many people, nor to international conventions with many people. But Jen and Christine were there. So to them I bed a hello... and to all I state hope you meet them... and the them is for sure, because where one is found, both are found... and Haley well she's not to far behind often.

Luke 7:16 Friday

Ah Luke, we all knew the Friday would come sooner or later. And why not, I mean who is more easy going and likable than Luke? I met/got to know Luke when I lived in Knoxville, we went to the same hall. And since Luke is amused by many things, much like myself, well we got along just swell.

Of course when you think Luke of course you always think car, sunglasses, never ending conversation, and that pocket knife he always has just a reach away. But a good guy ol luke is....

...and he's always up for anything. As you see in the picture above, it may be that he comes down to bama these days, and we end up in the never ending tunnels beneath the surface of Huntsville. Or we may be geocaching, painting decks, or some random activity inbetween. (Of course he's only been my son once in my life... and that was when I was looking for a house in Huntsville (wait I think thats like the first time he went out of state too... oops and I forgot to tell his parents).

Anyways, on whatever Friday it is, you always have to recount a memorable story. Of course there is always the quote I'll never forget. This flour in my eyes, I cant see! (See flour power).

But as for stories, well right before I left Knoxville, a bunch of us went camping up at a lake in the mountains.... Luke was in the back of Nathan’s car, and well the road up to the mountains was extremely curvy to say the least... and we were making good time to say the least. And well.... Luke (or as we called him since that point Puke)... never mentioned he was getting extremely car sick). Finally they caught up with us and recounted the story. As for other stories from that trip.... well we wont go there.

Anyway, Leave your stories about Luke.... on Luke Friday

Alex Friday... In Stereo...

Well here we go a first... a duo day for one person. Alex who has found a day on TKF, as well as Misconstruedthoughts... with the beauty of back dating you can see though that we were first. (I do the same thing with my milk). Anyways....

Yes Alex, the AL of the Lex... anyway. All you have to do is meet Alex once, see his quirky grin, and know there is something non typical going on behind those glasses. And here lies what makes an interesting person? correct? I think so.

You may remember Alex from Sunday Daily Text at the convention.... (he was the one who fell down the stairs right behind the stage, for which they had to stop the convention) (OK, I'm only assuming this, I was busy working the sound, so I'm just assuming this took place). But anyway, yeah Alex, a purveyor of good music, and a progeny of someone who collects butterflies. Oh and he's quiet the cinematographer... I've seen some great work of his involving ants! What else do you need?

OK, I agree we all need a trip to Aruba.

Leave your stories... and read others in the late post on the TKF.

Also I was just contacted by Alex, and he has setup a wonderful deal for all of us. Free Slurpies at 7/11 on the llth of July. So go buy and Say Alex sent you, its a great deal! Thanks Alex for using your connections. (BTW if you are confused at the picture above, Alex was suffering a terrible brain freeze).

Joshua Gill Friday

So last week I had a good visit in New York City. Included in the visit was finally the meeting of Joshua. Yes, the brother of Nathan. (OK sorry already Josh, I mean Nathan is Josh's brother... er uh anyway). So yeah I kept calling Josh Nathan, because the two are just alike (Ok, sorry both of you know, for I have already been denounced by each of you for this statement).

Anyways... for real... Josh is a super cool guy. He took me to some off the better parts of the city. Enjoying some great eats, walking through a monsoon in china town. Good times good times, alls it takes is a crazy person to have fun. Right? (For those confused at this point as to the crazy person is Josh, or myself... well lets just say you need to meet Josh (And Josh... of course I'm talking about myself).

But the adventure in the city was one captured on fillm. You see, I was walking through the park and saw this guy hanging in a tree. As I saw him hanging there, I thought OK, I'm headed into the streets of New York, the best protection from crazy people are crazier people right? So me and Uxbynx (thats his real name, I'm just calling him Josh to make it easier...) headed into the city. As we jumped on the subway, I felt we were being followed. Little did I know we truly were. True I had found a local to show me around, but seems he was an unobservant, local. For later my developed film showed what had happened. Yes New York had gotten the best of ol Josh. But he was quick on the draw and a chase ensued. Soon he caught the young pickpocket. And after a quick pummel of the boy, and a great display of his victory
(and the return of the $2 in his bilfold (for he is a bethalite)). After this we returned home. And I left New York, and Josh remained to provide rides for the governing body to the airport.

Megan (Sunday) Pretend its Friday it is yeah...

Nagemnotned,

You dont know her? you dont know the Nagem? Well maybe you're not dyslexic like myself and others.... So ... well Megan Denton. Ol Megan. While her father had hoped her to be a boy so he could take her fishing, and everything else, she still made him happy by taking up those skills among others. Anyways, Megan made the big step of graduation this week. And well we enjoyed her graduation party from stepping in cow pies to eating bugs. Good times good times.

While her dad would always say I am a bad influence, causing her to be a bit more insane ever time she's around me... well what can I say... I like to insprie.

Anyway, add your stories about Megan...

Alan AK AJ Friday

OK, so maybe thats not allen, but it is whats always on his MSN login.
Send me your allen pictures

Anyway its allen Friday. Allen has been quiet helpful in getting this site actually initally started, with his computer expertise. But maybe we should question that expertise. Sure he has writen computer code thats on the spacestation, and has flown on the shuttle. But but...

You see this past weekend, I discovered a little site that reads text to you, check it out its pretty cool! Anyway, we made a couple of calls to Allen stating that the phone network had aquired a virus, and that there was a problem. After about two calls (and both myself and Reggie denieing knowledge of what was going on).... then we left this message (listen to it). Well seems this all seemed very convincing to allen. For last night when we were talking, he said he had contacted the fraud department at Verizon. Speaking of the strange messages, asking if there was a virus. They stated he was a bit crazy to think there was a virus, and as for the caller - contact the police. They even spent a few days trying to trace the call. Their conclusion the number didnt exist. Hahaha... well seems we've beet the system. But anyways Allen is happy now to know he isn't going to have any excessive charges from Russia this month.

Oh, and if you dont know who allen is, maybe you need to listen to his voice.
A friday first - Its the allen song, sang by he himself! (listen)

Otutu Uju (And alot more oohs) Kamalu Friday

We finally got a picture of Uju, compare to see how accurate our drawing is (Yes and he is in his long flowing garment of manliness

Today is Uju Friday... And Uju Friday brings to end a false sense of security everyone has. The long held belief is that if I have no picture of you, then there will be No Friday. But as you see today, I am an aspiring (or is it perspiring?...) artist. And therefore with the magic of Paint was able to whip out this picture in no time. (And it looks just like him too eh?).

Anyways... Uju Kamaluo. I think I first noticed this Brother (and I say that in the fullest sense of the word)... At an assembly here in Hville where he was wearing his native African Garb (True he never lived in Africa, but his parents did and are from Nigeria... so it just gives Uju a good excuse to wear a dress... (or is it a muumuu no no thats Korean... Lets just Call it a Nigerian Long Flowing Garment of Manliness). Anyways he really stuck that day.

But Uju really cracks me up, an interesting perspective on the world. True he does call me cheap, and say I dont eat enough... but its all good. True he is one of the few people that calls me "Brother Myers" as if he doesn’t know who I am, or that I am years older being his elder...

And who will ever forget his statement "I'm 100% a ladies man" (Sure taken out of context, kinda... but this is misconstrued thoughts).

And well the biggest inside joke on Uju, well we wont go there... but Uju... you have no proof to help your dot com theory now.

But yeah, after years of Pain, Uju completes hes college education this week... and now is off to his admirable spiritual goals.

Anyways, add your stories about uju... or draw your own drawing and post it ... or send it to me! (well if you have a picture you can send it too...)

Elizabeth Friday jumpin the Lilly Pond

So it is Elizabeth Friday, there is a good chance many of you have not ran into Elizabeth for she is from South Africa. (But for those who do know her, don’t forget to add some stories) I must say our trip to Africa would not have been the same without Elizabeth around. I received an email from her this week, stating she was going to accomplish her dream... be a mountain guide. That’s right she is the naturalist type, and looks forward to leading people into the great unknown known as nature.

But I found this quiet Interesting? Why? Maybe one near death experience?

Watch this video to see an Elizabeth Led Expedition (WMV 2MB)

But we did make it back, and true I did have to lead the way home, for Elizabeth didnt know how to get home. (Yes, She was from Africa, I was from the US and I led the way home) (OK to her credit she had lived in the UK the last few years).

Anyways, speaking of driving Elizabeth gave me great advice on driving. Telling me how I didnt need to worry... what am I talking about ? Just watch the video.

Watch a Video about driving in South Africa compliments of Elizabeth (WMV 1 MB)

OK.... so a bit poorer ... we did complete the trip... and one thing is true... Elizabeth did make the trip more interesting... and she is a nice gal.

In fact she even tried to speak our language.

So if you ever meet Elizabeth (You know on an expedition ... Lord be with you) tell her I said Hi, and enjoy her company. (J/K... J/K Elizabeth).

Jeremy n Kim Friday

Jeremy n Kim(Oh wait, no thats just Kim, and someone else....)

From various places they come together... to reside in huntsville. We're talkin some good times, and some good folks (Hey that sounds like it should be a restraunt slogan). So once Jeremy told me (that being Jeremy not me Jeremy) whats great about being to an outgoing person, is you dont have to worry about keeping a conversation going, or entertaining other people. Yep Jeremy (Kim n Jeremy, Jeremy) is pretty layed back and mellow.

In fact one of the funniest moments; was actually when I met the Haleyville gals the first time; we were going to pick up Jeremy, and decided to paint posters welcoming him back to Alabama (for at that time he resided in Philidelphia...) True we painted our faces, and were rather crazy, but it didnt matter, he wasnt on the plane we waited hours for... DOH!

And Kim... funny times funny times... Need a laugh, or someone to laugh at you... look no further than Kim! Super nice, super funny, and a super graphic artist. Kims Da Cool.

So leave your Jeremy n Kim stories for this Friday of Jeremy (not me) n Kim (not me either)... Friday

Seth Friday

Seth in his standard country getup... oh wait... maybe I have the wrong Seth

It was once stated "ask and you shall recieve" Which leads us to Seth Friday. With an incredible write in campaign, we present Seth Friday. Actually Seth Friday is a viable and appropriate Friday, for seth will soon (within 7-8 months) be Father Seth (not friday, but Mills). And now that he has his own day, no doubt he shall name the child Misconstrued (at least for a middle name).

Anyway, ol Seth. The first time I was around him I just remember low lights, him holding knives, (and other kitchen utinsils) and him repeating Iggity Biggity. (Which Translates into booga booga boo in the land I am from). If you are confused by all this... well dont worry, it is just a terrifiying experience that will make you wet your pants... (everyone I have seen experience this has done that very thing, wet there pants).

But yes Seth, while usually wagging his head at the antics of Kevin and I. In fact he has his own tricks up his sleave.

I had forgoten the greatness of one of these events. I stayed in the same hotel as Seth (keats). We wreaked havoc on the person I was sharing my room with. We switched his mouth wash with vinegar (I didnt know we did this one), stole his mattress, put sugar and crushed potato chips ll over his bed, wrapped it in plastic and, of course, starched his underwear (thanks to help from Seth's Mom). I think Jeremy even stole all his clothes for the assembly, save one outfit that didn't match - it wasn't even a stretch to match. (Did I, ? forgot that one too) Anyways... good times good times, He's one of those guys you dont pull one on, because in his quietness... a great vision of revenge is brewing.

Add your stories about Seth, and try to help give names for his forthcoming Baby!

You gotta have FAITH! Friday

So few are the ones you can say... and then there was that time we went to africa, and had a poo spitting contest. But well this would be true for Faith.

This weekend we voyage up to mid-northern Virginia the home to many, including Faith. Faith is one of those folks whos ready for whatever you dream up, and as ya know... that means good times (cuz I'm a dreamer). The above picture was taken after our Washington DC Scavenger Hunt. We had 2 hours to get the following, a hat from a random person (as a gift). A quarter from a bum. A picture of 3 random people in front of the lincoln memorial and interviewof what they thought of lincoln. (Seems most think he was a good basketball players. And a few other interesting creative shots.

Anyways, ol Faith will be seen this weekend, as her bro gets hitched, and darc n I will be there to capture the moment. So if you know Faith... and have a story... feel free to leave it.

You gotta have what? Faith..............

Oh and the picture above, well I posted that firmly on her face after she gave me one major major weggie... atomic? I do think so.

Mike n Ike (minus the Ike) Friday

Ah, once upon a time the Myers family incorporated a new member into there family.... his name was Mike. Ok well maybe its more that my sister was incorporated as a Erdlejack (or however you spell that name... yes its bad I cant spell my sisters name anylonger).

Anyway, welcome to Mike Friday, the hardest working guy at playing out there. OK maybe not, but a runner up? This weekend I'm headed up to visit them in there new Casa...

So Last week I find out Mike is giving birth... well the nearest thing to it for us in the guy world ... you know passing a stone. Mike was the proud father to the little gem you see in the picture below. He survived the ordeal... and it appears no more children are planed in the family. (I forget the name of this one... but the last name is difficult enough).

OK really I've not had a chance to be around Mike a whole lot, but he is a character ... thats for sure. Need conversation? He can invent it. Need music? He can invent it. Need an Opinion with supposed Knowledge? He can invent it. Need to beat someone at Monopoly.... yeah thats right Mike... bring it on... you suffered desimation at the hands of the cruel Monopoly Lord Sir Jerm... Till Next Time.

Oh even though he may not admit it to some people... he is a huge video game addict.

Oh and when the day comes they have kids... with these genes... Oh boyWho Knows what they'll look like. This was a vision that Mike had by using a picture of his Nephew.... The Ernobot.

Add you stories about Mike, or what you can find on the net. How many Erdljacs could there be... then again who can figure how to spell it?

Lea and Judi Friday Eh?

LeJudJerm? Ah it has been said before I am the missing one to complete the triplet trinity of LeJudJerm... True? Well not sure about that. But Lea and Judy are definitly the Most Misconstrued of Candada eh?

This week I broke down and got a home phone... (OK... Its not a normal phone for those gasping... it works through the intrenet (down with the phone companies)) The beauty of this is I can call anywhere in the world for virtually nothing... in fact I can call Canada for nothing. Since its been a year, I gave ol LeJud (They will be refered to by this collective term this point forward) a call. Ah no doubt the surprise and confusion for them. (Always the intsertion of What? I cant understand your accent). Ah but to hear that British Colubia accent, took me back.

For as any non local visits the south you have to give them the full concept of what its about. You know, putting peanuts in your coke, drinking a Dr. Enuf, having some BBQ, visiting the music city, (as well as NASA).

Ah good times. And these gals are talented too... I just got some pics from them (posted in the future) Lea is a great photographer (and from the pics looks like Jud is a great snowboarder). [oops i did say i was going to use Lejud from that point on... ok... this point on...]

Also they sent me a card last week... (its rare i get mail so this is a major event). And sent fed ex none the less. Now you would think getting a "Its a boy" card or something of that nature would be rare... but actually this is my fourth (one from my congregation when i moved, one from relatives, one from friends here, one from canada)... subliminal messages? I dont know what it is...

But tis LeJud Friday Eh? So use Eh? as much as you can today for Eh? is the greatest word ever created and a great way to pay tribute to LeJud ... Eh?

Add your comments ... Eh?

Marks a... (Nah Not really) Friday

So two things bestow this "honor" upon Mark... You know his own Friday. First was the find of the classic song about him this week. The other the text message he sent me.

In his never ending pursuit to cause harm to himself he headed up to Canada, for a continued adventure from a couple of years ago. In the course of this trip I get a text message

"I got charged by a bear today"

I promptly asked if it was a "Grizzly" to ensure he had not been tricked into believing they exist... he responded

"No they don’t exist"
"I was about 8 yards away from him when he charged"

Now obviously mark has made a mistake here. True we all know that Grizzly bears do not exist. But this is not to be confused with the fact that Bears do exist. So don’t fall into the mistake of Mark, it could be dangerous. In fact falling into this "Mark" thought pattern could be very hazardous to your health.

But that’s a different story.

The funny thing about Mark is his ability to take abuse. I think it was about 2 years ago I went home, and noticed the new saying of the congregation was "Its Marks Fault..." Interesting indeed... especially when its even during a meeting.

Ah but Marks a sport.

Back in the day though he was truly annoying. The 5 week trip doing unassigned territory, and backpacking almost led to his demise (by me). But as the years have gone by Mark has mellowed out and Mark is actually an OK guy. Up for whatever (particularly if its crazy).

All that remains of those highly annoying years is a classic song. A classic song written about him. Lost for years till the exciting find this week. By the group Kaizen, it would inspire some of the other great artist of the day. And for your listening pleasure it is here today.

Kaizen - Marks a Jerk

And no, no Marks not a Jerk (remember the last verse...)

Oh and mark is working on his photography skills... here's a picture from his recent jaunt to Canada.

Add your Mark quotes and stories today on Mark Friday.

Whos Friday is this? The American Taxpayers

Ah yes, the american taxpayer. He who pays my bills. And lets me walk on the beach - sit on my ocean view balcony and such. Darryl made it clear that this site is a disappoinment into seeing how his tax dollars are being used. "Where is Jeremy now?"

So today we salute those who are paying their taxes come the end of this month. Don't forget to pay on time, I have to pay the electric bill (if not, then the thoughts will no longer be misconstrued). (The weird thing about this, is when I pay taxes, its like I'm paying myself to go to work, in a weird kind of way, i've still not figured that one out). Thanks again... and I'll be home tonight thanks to the private jet ride, thanks for lookin out for me.

Oh For a prettier view Vist the photo section.

But really I do have to get to work. Why do yall make me go to work so early? Remember I work for you.

Kevin Friday... Keep the Flammables Away!

So... the other night I get on the phone... dial up ol Kevin... In a matter of seconds, there he is

"What up Homes" ... thus begins a normal Kevin conversation

Good ol Kevin, definitely one of my bestest of friends. A good ol country boy who likes his mud, likes his four wheelers, likes a good comical video. You will meet few people in your life more layed back than Kevin. And that among many things make him very cool. Oh and fire, let me tell ya he's right up there in the list of pyros i've ever known (of course we were a team).

Let me relate a story on the two above aspects:

We had headed to Tsali for some fun mountain biking moments (Kevin a good ol mountain biker as well (Nice Trek 8000). Anyway, We had the great idea of kicking around a flaming Tennisball. So after soaking it in some flammables, we're kicking it around, like some good ol boys from TN would be. Well I have the genius idea, hey we've got this flammable, in this little squirt bottle. I formulate an idea with Tanner (the other guy there). And i walk over and squirt the flammable up in down Kevin’s leg, he doesn’t even notice. Meanwhile, tanner aims for the perfect kick... right to Kevin. As Kevin kicks the tennis ball... up he goes.... well his pants at least. We are laughing hysterically... Kevin as well... just thinking of the stupidity of us kicking a flaming tennis ball around. Yet... soon we had to tell him... hey your pants are on fire (actually his coveralls, pretty thick so guess he didn’t feel anything). Next came Kevin’s high shrieked scream (if you've heard it you know what i mean). In the end... Kevin just defines it as hilarious. Now see a easy goin pyro. (Oh and dont try this... only trained pyros can safly pull this off).

Then there was that time he let us bury him standing up. Now that took forever!

Anyways, we've had some goodtimes. His wedding was a blast. (See the POM site for a view of us at his wedding in our Tux Shorts). Oh and right before his wedding we took him off for a fun in the mountains trip... back at Tsali. Then a pyro film in its greatness was produced. Actually.... well Actually... its called Actually. So watch Actually (12MB Quicktime).

And now well its years later, and Kevin has kids... OK that makes it seem forever ago...so its been a couple of years later and Kevin has 1 kid... but he is balding. OK we didnt have to go there, sorry Kevin. Good ol Kevin. If you don’t know him... ya should he's always up for a good laugh.

Scott Friday (And Starting Tomorrow Amanda too)

So Scott friday? Why? Well tomorrow is the big day, Scott and Amanda shall be wed... so no doubt thats inline for a scott/amanda friday. Hmm my Amanda stories are limited so well just for the fact that tomorrow yall shall be one, all stories for either become one! Right?

Anyway, ol scott. Hmm we've already seen Sara (no H) friday, who I assumed was his wife originally (obviously not since he's getting married this weekeend). But after that was cleared up, and I realized who scott was (at first I thought he was blowing me off all the time...) I realized he's a pretty cool guy. Pretty good on the guitar (what about that Psubverse Rhyscology) and the drums (wait those drums are still here in my house!) And a good artist too!

He'll probably tell ya what he's thinking, (then Sara will hit him... and he'll say WHAT? its true!) But hey then theres no question about how things are ... right? Up for the adventure to whenever that may come, not afraid to get a little dirty... ol scott he's alright, and since he was all right, now amanda can fill in that left part... thats what its about Balnce right? Congrats.... And may Jehovah bless your marriage. (And all the little Amotts or Scandas...)

Kyle its Friday...

This week I heard good news, Kyle was headed up to NewYork for an assignment at Bethel... Since he'll be headed out soon I figured well Definitly it is time... time for Kyle Friday

Kyles one of those guys you meet and just say... "Hey he's a super nice guy" And then you say... "Wow he can play drums good" Well unless you've never seen him play drums. Then you might just say "He's pretty quiet"... But then you get to know him and you say "Hey Kyle, he's cool he'll laugh n smile alot when you have a crazy idea and he's up for it". But then you'll also realize more about Kyle and say... "You know Kyle is a spirtually minded guy with his head on strait". Then you'll get in a car in California with him and he'll say "Hey lets see how many cars we can pass in 1 minute, bet you cant pass 50" Then you'll say "What?" Then he'll say "Awesome"

Thats Kyle, add your stories about Kyle or your own "And then you will say"

Javanne with NO e Friday

We all knew it was coming Chunky (Wimpy) Bear Friday. Actually if anyone is to be credited with misconstruedthoughts... it would be he. In fact he was the one who first taught me my first bits of html. Helped me learn how to get "online" and look where we are a year and a half later (presently houston, but that has nothing to do with anything).

But good ol Javann. No few others have the capability to really tell you what they think strait up, holding back nothing. Good and bad it is. But grown used to it I have. A lover of the outdoors... oh wait no... he's not genetically dispositioned for that... (just for beating people down (glad I'm "squirrelly" and in houston) No but really Javann is a good friend... actually quiet considerate ... then completly not....an odd combination. But thats Javann. Unique in thought and ready for some deep off thought statements... it always keeps the conversation interesting (and highly opinionated).

But since I "feed him more than his family" as he says... well he's like a son (oh lord... what did I just say... boy its getting late). Lets replace son with a good friend..... and he's artistic to (and has grown to appreciate the fine art of odd music).

Anyways... has this been random? Yes... My goal to memic a normal converstation with him... Well at least when we are talking. (oh and he's big on grammer and speeling too... so i've not done any spell check just to give hime somehting to talk (or complain) about.

But the interetsing thing is... even if Javann says what he thinks... its not an opinion of you, he doesnt do that (still not figured that out...).

But yes Javann Friday it is here... or was here depending when you read this.

Oh and Javann too is the inventor of NEABOCSWPYHK day. What's NEABOCSWPYHK day? National Eat A Bowl Of Cereal Simulataneously With People You Hardly Know. It will happen next weekend. Watch back here about NEABOCSWPYHK or just check Javann's Deep Thoughts.

So anyways thanks Javann for all those off the wall thoughts and keepin us shakin our heads, and watchin our back... because you never know when he may trip and well... lets just say that can be dangerous.

Well tell your stories on this Javanne with no e friday.

Sara (with no h) Friday

What happens when you cross ancient clothing with modern technology? I'm not sure... but on a completely different note, its Sara (with no h) Friday. (So what exactly are those voices you've learned to deny?)

Anyway, good ol Sara, I have to say she really helped in that transition from Tennessee to Bama. In those endless long days initially at NASA where work was scant and coffee was flowing like rains from the heavens, often sara could be found with a pondering or insight online. In fact this included adoption into the family as I became known as a silvernail, (although our collective grandmother is not king on my ability to sing).

As time passed, we've enjoyed some blizzards in Ohio, some concerts I waited years to see, even One Time I got her to risk her life!

Oh and who else can I say has ever bought me a complete playdoh set?

Ah yes, Sara (with no h) is cool in my books,

So Sara (with no h)
we take that h
And take no S
and give you whats left
Hara (with no S)
its
Sara (with no H)

But I know you're saying...who is Sara, well maybe this picture will help. Or not. Add your Sara (with no h) stories for this Sara (with no h) Friday!

Kate and Amber Friday

You know there are some people, when you say one name, the other name is always there. So it has always been for Kate and Amber, precariously different, but uniquely alike. Yes, up for anything, well anything off the wall (As long as Amber hasnt hit her daily crash)... that is Kate and Amber. Let me relate some stories... (And there are many many stories (And I've just known them about 1.5 years).

When we first met, we were picking up Jeremy from the airport (not me), not knowing what to do, we ended up at Walmart in a ocntest for who could find the name for evil Grimilin off the old movie, and then get it anounced over the intercome system (victory was ours! After which we painted signs (and our selves) and headed off to the airport ot greet Jeremy... it was at this point I knew these were intersting folks (as I looked at Amber who had a nicely painted mustache and beard on her face). Seems face painting is always involved with them (refrence alien party).

Then there was the time I had the public talk over there. Afterward, after a bit of skill... I ended up witha cake from their house (the word is borrowed, not stole Actually the word is called held for ransome)... and as expected the next morning found a backstabing group of girls pointing fingers as to who ate the cake! The above picture was at the safe return of the cake.

On through time, there have many other interesting moments. Including when I returned home from Stephanies Wedding. I didnt have time to get home till after work, tired I entered the house to find... to find... well this!... and this!... and even more... but as you see the whole house was trashed, and everything moved (In fact I was late for the meeting that night because I couldnt find all my socks).

Well with a grin I took it... and acted as if nothing had happened (I knew this would kill Amber!) Enter the return plan... it was very indepth and could never be completely described here. (thats why this page was made). True we did take half of all there clothes (and half of everything else needed for normal living too), true we did have to climb in through the window... true they were in fear of what was coming next. Hahahaha. But who wouldnt Be.

Kate and Amber fun gals, with a flare for the spontanious! Our lives wouldnt be the same without ya! Add your stories about Kate and Amber, or just Kate, or just Amber, or about Amber and Kate...

Daaaaaa its Friday

What happens when you cross Do (A deer a female deer) and La (A long long way to run). You get Lo... wait thats not where I had this going. Oh... you get DA. Thats right Its DA Friday. So add your DA stories (Or you could just put what his real name is you think... Dontinio Antonio or Donald Adolf or Daffy Alexeconia. You know whatever you dream up.

But anyways. Ah DA, few people remind me of annoying little kids as does DA! What does that mean? Well believe it or not DA and I go way back, being raised in the same hall. He was this pesky little kid roaming around. But then several years ago I was at a Third Eye Blind concert in Knoxville (My Musical Taste Has Grown With Time). And there on the stage they had all these people who had won a spot to be on stage on these platforms behind the singer... This was 90% girls in hysteria to be there. But there was this one guy who was majorly head banging to the music... I infact pointed him out. "Look at that crazy guy". Deep within me it registered who this was... Daaa How could I forget. (I think I watched him triumphantly catch a drum stick that night too..)

It would be a couple of years later before a notable event took place. It was roughly Midnight on October 2, 2000. It was the night Kid A by radiohead was released. And I was there to be one of the first to get this musical masterpiece. (OK before people are like, how on earth do you remember the date... well its called google... I did a search on the release date). I looked at him and he looked at me as we both thought "Why is he here?". It would be then that we both realized the other had good taste in music!

In fact we got to do a little recording before I left the confines of Knoxville. The Knoxville Blog brought it up this week! If your new to Misconstrued (Post-POM), give it a listen! Ah good times good times... watchin DA sing in a dryer, trying to run cables out the windows from one story to another, random screaming.

But definitly DA is a music man... with great skills in such! And great taste in eclectic music. Check out his reviews and downloadable songs! Highly Recommended!

Anyway add your comments for Darius Anchovie Friday!

Captain Jon Friday

Its Jon Friday.. or is it Eli Friday... Its all the same.

Some people inspire me to create/invent/think abstractly. It is that fellow drive to create/invent/think abstractly (and the appreciation for fellow abstract views) that when combined can create a dynamic duo. A ever present power to think of and do what has not been done before. When I think of those who do that there are many. But my friends who will dress up like a superhero and be fine running around the neighborhood…. Those are the ones that fit the Bill. Are we talking Bill?...No But Bills son Jon.

Jon is one creative/hilarious person! Don’t let his mild mannered quiet, somewhat monotone demeanor confuse you. In fact he uses it highly in his favor to create a rich world of humorous strangely true insight.

Jon and I go back about 5 years. And in those years much has been enjoyed… I mean with whom else have I
-Create a music festival that drew international attention (and also raise money for Cerebral Palsy

-Decide to create a geocache 2 hours back in a storm drain (people have actually gone and looked for this too!)

-Have a flour fight

-Create revenge on friends who brought destruction to my home (and do it in a most ingenious way) (and with an evil laugh....)

-Create a return for Operation Nap and execute it flawlessly

-Edit video for hours on end just to state they are bored and from 8PM to 11PM go eat at 24 different restraints. (That’s right in one night)

(Those stories you haven’t heard above b4… well I’m sure they’ll find there way here sooner or later)

And on top of all these things have a growing list of other things to do… (We still haven’t drove that car into the ocean…) But yes that drive to invent/create/ to boldly go where no man has gone before. Jon He’s cool…

OH, and he’s a good musician too. In fact its kind of cool… I get referred to in his musical History. (I am Kaizen btw…) So check out some of Jons music… give it a review… and vote him as one cool artist… and one cool person!

Add your stories about Jon today… or tomorrow.. or next week… and if you can figure out how to do it last week… that’ll work too.

Reggie Friday

Well as they say no news is good news. But not necessarily. Good news last night as Reggie was appointed a servant. Good News (Hey you want to do the #1 next week? j/k) Anyway... Its Reggie Friday. So add your comments and stories about Reggie.

Anyways Reggie is my good Bro... (technically cousin since I have been adopted by the Brazeltons (You know we need to have a free family portrait made...hmm all the Brazeltons that would be impossible). When I first moved to Huntsville he was the first to extend his friendship, and I greatly appreciate that. (The only one to know who Bjork and Radiohead were and even think of going to see a free show by Cowboy Mouth) He's a super nice guy who's always there willing to help. Well... wait hold on... for the most part. It also brings back to mind another person... (AMARI!) That is right the imaginary girl that Reggie invented to stalk me... to hunt me down and bitter my soul. He included people from different states, and pulled in even my own family in an attempt to bring humiliation. (Which I must admit it was done pretty good). Vengeance still remains undone for this act! Anyway if you dont remember the story... You can read the Extended Entry Section...

Oh and Reggie is a most excellent cook and Actor! In the little films we have shot no one reaches the caliber of Reggie. So anyways thanks Reggie for being a friend (and remember the Equivalent to Operation "Smack the Big Tall Black Guy Upside the Head" is coming) ;0)

The old story (a news article from the classic POM)

News Flash: “Operation Nap” Brought to an awakening end

This just in………..
An attempt to overthrow Jeremy Myers’ reign of “practical jokes” was thrown awry late Thursday night. The plan, placed under code name “Operation Nap” was created by the unmasterful minds of Javann Jones & Reginald Brazelton. It was an attempt to create a fake girl who would basically stalk Mr. Myers. According to Mr. Jones, the reason for the whole plan was in retaliation to games such as Mr. Macintosh, Pinchy Pinchy, Name that Food, & Booga Booga Boo. Mr. Myers rebutted that these are games played around the United States by Witnesses everywhere; they have no shape or form of being a practical joke. He then continued by speaking of new games “Hug the Potholder and Pirate Pete” which he planned to use in his continual destruction of the Huntsville group.

“All I do is introduce my “friends” to these games, if they are to continue as witnesses, they will be introduced to these games somewhere, be it at Bethel or in some other congregation”. Myers was himself introduced to all of these games through his own misfortune over the past few years. His attempts are simply to “save my friends from future humiliation at the hands of people they don’t even know”.

It appears that Operation Nap was questioned as phony from the very beginning. “They picked a congregation that I used to attend for the home of this girl “Amari.” The very first night I used another source”, reported to be Jared Flint, “ to weed out the truthfulness of the “Real Annoying Psychotic Girl Plan.” The former being the name Myers had given Operation Nap. “This girl didn’t even know people in her own hall, she had to be either fake, or disfellowshipped. I’ve met a few psychotic girls over the years and have grown to recognize them rather quickly. It appears those behind “Real Annoying Psychotic Girl Plan” had not studied what they were trying to mimic well enough. However, I must admit the fact that they used cross regional technology to have many individuals speak of knowing this girl was quiet ingenious”.

This in fact was the second such attack on Mr. Myers in the last 6 months. It appears that Mr. Myers’ own creation “Picture of the Moment” has been used more than once against him. “Picture of the Moment has created a large vulnerability to me. I have opened myself to open attacks by openly making available to others a list of a large group of people that really know me. I guess as the list grows you learn there are some you can not trust.” Myers is reconsidering the inclusion of some individuals into his mass email list and has implemented new technology to prevent future attacks. However, he stated he plans to continue his entertainment of the masses.

When asked if retaliation is planned, Mr. Myers refused to answer. However, word has been gathered of a front breaking game to be entitled “Smack the Big Tall Black Guy Upside the Head” (Don’t worry Lance this isn’t about you). To keep up to date about this humiliating game and any other breaking news on the War against “practical jokes” stay tuned here to PAR (Pathetic Attempts at Retaliation) News.

Nick and Jake Friday

OK in this weeks episode of meet someone you may or may not know, you get (once again... a two for one special).

Why? Well for the shear fact that they sent a video to me featuring the two of them. And It was Misconstrued worthy so you will find it in the Video Section of the site. Watch their film its short and top notch!

But anyways... Nick and Jake Friday gives you the chance to relate stories about the boys.

And anyone who knows them knows one thing when their names pop up. GIRLS! You could be at some random convention in say... er... Kentucky... or some random party in Alabama... and who are you gonna see? Nick and Jake... yep in there quest to meet a few ladies. And they have an incredible ability to go up to anyone and just start talking to them as if they have always known you. (Does it scare some... I’m pretty sure yes... But it is a talent none the less...)

So to you my friends who call me Mr. NASA, I dedicate this day to you. Dont forget watch the film... and add your stories.

Jared Friday (Live from Hawaii)

Jared is my boy… well no he’s not my boy that would mean I had children at like 6 years old. So anyways… Jareds my good friend (Back on the boy thoughts, Jareds parents claimed me as their son at the international convention. The poor confused Japaneese sister, finally said, I see he gets his height from you (pointing to brother flint) Anyway its Jared Friday So add your stories about Jared! (And yes it is still Friday where I am).

So looking at this picture (at the international convention….this picture really brings back memories. In fact the first time I met Jared I was sitting next to him at a assembly, where I decided to wake the nodding boy. But anyway, Jared’s cool for he’s always up for something unique whatever it may be. And ol Jared is always a great connection to finding out what’s going on within a 200 mile radius. I thank him for being a good friend on my move to Huntsville, and helping me meet those people in a 200 mile radius. (True we have drove to several disappointing parties in that radius, but we usually make the best of it). Remember the part we left, and ended up in this little hole in the wall auction place, where the only thing really common was the skanky locals (interesting they were, and confessed they were that we showed up!)

But anyway, Jared’s a good guy… leave your best stories bout him…
