I’m here today to talk about a natural phenomenon.¬† One of the wonders of the modern world.¬† The most awe-striking and captivating person this land has ever seen…
…SEAGAL
 

 
Yes that’s right, the peacemaker with a haymaker, the prince of pistols, the widow’s peak on a death-streak.¬†
 
Kera introduced me to his movies earlier this winter down in Nashville.¬† At first I was skeptical, but after watching one I was absolutely HOOKED.¬† I don’t know what it is, his oscar-winning acting?¬† His highly professional fight scenes?¬† His amazing leaping ability?¬† Well, maybe not any of those, but there is something about this man that makes his movies and music (yes he records music too!) captivating.

 
*Takes a sip of a Tom Collins*
 
Yes, all of his moves have the same basic plot, and the same lines, and the same actors, but they are on a completely different level when compared to other bad action flicks.¬† Other bad films you can only stand for a little while because soon their comedic qualities are overshadowed by the crappiness of the actual film.¬† This doesn’t happen with Steven’s films.¬† One of the reasons has to be the big man himself.¬† The man has the same facial expression 100% of the time.
 
Here’s an example:

 
Look at those eyes, in a state of constant squint!¬† I seriously don’t think the guy never needs to blink because his eyes are always sealed shut.¬† We suspect it is because of his strong desire to be asian.¬† Actually I think it’s past desire at this point, I think he actually believes he’s asian.¬† Case in point:
 

 
¬†Or, the fact his movies are so great could be due to quality action scenes.¬† You see, the detraction for other bad action films is the fact that the action is actually good, while the acting is not.¬† This is not the case in Sir Steven’s films however, where the action is just as, if not more hilarious than the rest of the film.¬† I believe this is what separates Seagal from the rest of the field.¬† Who else’s movies do you need more than two hands to count the number of arm-breaks and throat punches.¬† I wouldn’t be surprised if frat houses on campuses around the country have drinking games while watching Under Siege, taking a drink every time Steven snaps a poor stuntman’s arm in two.¬†
 
However, the charm of broken appendages and torn-out larynx’s can only go so far. You see, there is a message in his films, a message that says we can all live together in peace.¬† No more wars, no more violence, no more pollution…we can all be peacemakers like Steven.¬†
 

 
And how do we achieve peace?¬† Seagal has shown us the way…
 

 
That’s right, peace through power baby!¬† The man really is amazing.¬† He’s a peacemaker by day, but he will still lay a whoopin’ on the bad guys!¬† Seagal is my hero….*swoon*
 

 
So there you have it, my thoughts on the greatest actor of our generation.¬† The man deserves more respect than he has received, and you can take that to the bank…
 
…the blood bank…
+Matt+

I said it once and I’ll say it again… Uff-Dah! It’s cold! … Here’s why:
There’s not much distance between St. Paul and the North Pole… And what little distance there is, is called the great white land of Canada. … In Canada’s northernmost providence (entitled Nunavut) lies cities like Yellowknife, and if you want to get outrageously close to the north pole (within 500 miles, to be exact) Alert, the northernmost settlement in North America. … The thing is, Minnesota can sometimes reach, and even exceed the temperatures in these Canadian cities! … Don’t ask me how, or why; Probably something to do with the jet-stream or something. (Which SUCKS by the way! …It was like -10 when I woke up this morning, and it barely got above 5 all day.) Sure, Matt would probably go running around in the snow wearing a leopard-print thong right now, … But these temperatures don’t quite reach my standards when I think of a mid-March day… If you know what I mean.
However, as cold as it may seem… The people up here never seem to be sick. And if they are, it’s usually some mental problem. As a gal, the old lady would oftentimes badger me to make sure my hair was dry before I went outside, to pull the scarf over my nose, to wear 2 layers of socks, and a big poofy snorkel jacket. (Well, maybe not the latter…) I hated doing all of this crap! Especially ’cause my friends got to wear their cute little sleeveless pink zip-up fleece vests from the GAP, and I had to wear my mom’s old burlap sack she wore to school back in nineteen seventy-something… Anyway, the point of all of this rigamarole was so I wouldn’t get sick, or catchacold, or get the Flu. I was sick often, but usually because some kid sneezed on my desk or something… So, her efforts were pretty much futile.
Though… I can’t help but notice, living in one of the coldest cities in America, (besides Erie) that people actually dress like it’s 70 on a day that is… Say, 70 below zero! … There are guys that think it’s fun to jump in holes chiseled from icy lakes in northern Minnesota and swim around, and there are also guys (like Matt) who like to jump out of hot tubs, roll around in the snow, jump back in, and repeat the process…. For no reason. I’ve seen people biking when it’s in the single digits! People don’t understand my bellyachin’ when I say that I can’t feel my legs (and mean it) because I’m wearing 2 pairs of pants and they’re in shorts. The point being… These crazy people expose their flesh (And wet hair, I might add) to the elements all the time! You’d expect them to get sick, right? No way! They aren’t sick, I’M not even sick! So, I have come to the conclusion, that since NO ONE up here is sick, (The key factor being ME included) that it must be SO COLD that all bacteria, viruses, and micro-organism cannot exist. … They tell the kiddies on the television NOT to eat snow because it harbors all sorts of evil bacteria. … Well, that’s a lie. You could take a piece of raw meat outside for say… 30 seconds, and then, bring it back inside to thaw (Because trust me, give it 30 seconds and it will be a brick.) then just EAT IT! Like your steak’s super rare? Just flash-freeze them in your own backyard! …Ever wanted to freeze liquid nitrogen? … You know what to do.

… A crazy Minnesotan man.
About a week and a half ago, all icehouses (Used for the sport ice fishing… See blog 2 pages down.) residing on the lower two thirds of the state were required to be hauled off of the ice by… Well, today, actually. The thing is… There is no difference between now and the bitterest of January days. And I doubt there will be for a long time… Nonsense, I say! I was actually looking forward to possibly ice fishing this Easter, but instead we can’t because a bunch of wannabe Mountee’s say so. … But no matter. If the wind’s not a howlin’ it’s very well possible we can just sit right on the ice on some buckets and fish! The tin-can is only a luxury for those who can’t handle the cold… Oh, wait a minute…

A map to show you where everything is…
Anyway, I’m just really happy it’s Saturday! … Almost every day of the week I wake up around 4:45 to make Matt breakfast (Unless I’m just too tired to even know my butt from my head; Matt just tells me to go back to sleep.) Anyway, about 4:45… I know that some people like to start bright and early and all and can wake up at that time no problem… But that’s just absolutely ridiculous. … I mean, 4:45 is the middle of the night, for cryin’ out loud! I used to think 6 am was bad–even 6:30 am, but now I’m eatin’ my words… Ah, remember the good old days when I used to wake up in the MORNING? No matter… As much of a tole it actually takes on me in the middle of the week; I actually feel better when I get up early. No headaches. But the bad part of that is, all the fun starts late at night! Morning is boring! That’s when old people are around! Nighttime is like… Boogie time! … but my boogie time has been significantly reduced this past month and a half or so… But meh; maybe I’ll get a job that requires an early start and I’ll already be prepared.
Anyway; I digress. It’s time to talk about something interesting, aye?! Matt mentioned previously that we would be taking a risky journey to the Afganistan restaurant in town; this plan is now null and void. Khyber Pass is a bit to expensive to swing on weekends (weekdays are cheaper), so we decided to try another Middle-Eastern restaurant (Which received better reviews, anyway) called Everest on Grand… Not sure what the name means, but it was REALLY good! … Specializing in Nepali and Tibetan gourmet. … We ordered 2 dishes to split. Momos (which are like a steamed dumpling) and a really tasty bowl of Curried okra, tomatoes and potatoes. The drinks that came with were interesting as well… I got a yogurt spice blend (just straight up yogurt; no sugar) and Matt got Chai Tea brewed in Milk (Also with spices) both were very unusual, yet great! … Ah, let’s see some pictures then:

Our plates; L-R Dumplings, Curried Okra, and rice. … OK that description was pointless.

Our drinks; L-R Yogurt Blend, and Milk brewed Chai. Apologies for the blur.
After that, Matt said he had a ’surprise’ in store for me. I thought it might have been a trip to the local record store (which we did indeed endeavor; but it wasn’t the surprise.) Or coffee, or maybe ice cream (Yet I couldn’t imagine on a day like this…) But it was none of these things. It was Bubble Tea! … You’re probably thinking WTF, right? Well… My sophisticated, world-renowned boyfriend, Matt, has been to China SEVERAL times! (Okay… Once.) While he was there, he would often see a strange substance… A milky liquid, in a sort of plastic cup with a sealed top pierced with a giant straw…. And little balls floating around in it! This stuff was called ‘Bubble Tea’ and is a staple in the Chinese diet. It’s pretty much ANY flavor tea you want with Tapioca balls thrown in, and a giant straw so you can suck’em up with your tea! When seeing this substance on a television show on the Travel Channel; Matt let me in on his little secret–He never had any! … His guilt got the best of him, and he spent many hours researching where to find Bubble Tea in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area… And alas; It was hidden the whole time less than a mile away from his favorite record store. A trendy modern semi-bohemian joint called the ‘Tea Garden.’ We got our tea’s to go. (Chocolate Chai, and Black Guava… Both with tapioca balls or ‘bubbles’) … We drove on down to the river and drank’em up… Here’s some pictures to show you this miraculous substance:

The Bubble Tea itself; Chocolate Chai flavor.

Matt drinking his bubble tea. (He had the Black Guava)

Me with mine… The Chocolate Chai.
I have to admit, the bubbles may give you a bit of a tummy-ache… But it was worth it. Oh yes–Almost forgot, before heading out, Matt and I saw some giant helicopters flying over us, and then landing at the St. Paul airport. … I caught a picture of one:

Well, this blog is already long enough. … So I guess that will be it for now! Matt will be gracing you with his words the next time around; so if you all would be nice boys and girls and leave him comments.
Thank you for reading; hope you enjoyed!

Hello to all you blog-reading-people!!! As you can see (well not really), this isn’t Kera, but rather her red-headed, Porcupine Tree obsessed, food-loving boyfriend Matt.
Yes, I am stepping into the world of blogging, and I must say that after avoiding it for so long….I’m actually excited! What will I talk about you ask? Well that’s a very good question. Firstly I would like to thank Kera for sharing this space with me. It’s very kind of her and I can only hope to write as fun and great posts as she does. So far we have been having a wonderful time together in snowy Minnesota.
Now…what will I talk about you ask? Good question, one I‚Äôm still not sure of myself. This time I got lucky however, as a great weekend was ahead of Kera and I. Friday, the 29th was my dad‚Äôs birthday (and if he hears one leap-year baby joke out of ya‚Äô you‚Äôre going to regret it!), so Saturday we decided to go out to eat for a nice lunch. We were deciding between two restaurants, both named Axel‚Äôs. However, one of them specialized in woodfire cooking, called Axel‚Äôs Bonfire. Now here‚Äôs the thing‚Ķ
(Warning, rant ahead. If you’d like you can just skip past this and keep reading)
Bonfire is quite possibly the biggest “letdown” restaurant in existence. I’m not joking people. The first time I went there, I was excited to all get out because woodfire cooking sounds great! It brings back memories of cooking food over a campfire, burning marshmallows, and all kinds of tasty goodness. But Bonfire??? It’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Stay away!!!!! Reluctantly I have been there three times, and each time it gets worse.
Axel’s on the other hand, is a very good restaurant. In fact it’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to around the Twin Cities. To help me illustrate the difference between these two restaurants, I present to you the following guide….pictures taken directly from their websites. Axel’s, then Bonfire…

Now tell me what looks better to you…
Thankfully after a good bit of arm-twisting, we decided to head off to Axel’s. Surprise surprise……..it was fantastic! Kera had a smoked gouda and ham sandwich which was fantastic, and I had a chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto and provolone, with a cream sauce on top. It was really good, Kera gave it two thumbs up!!!
After lunch, we headed off to Culver’s, to get huge cups of frozen custard for dessert, and then on to the airport to watch planes and relax for awhile, which was really fun!
The rest of the night was a night of grocery shopping for Sunday’s dinner, chillaxing and bad movie watching (Transporter 2 anyone??). There was excitement in the air however, because the next day Kera and I were to venture into the depths of Minneapolis-St. Paul (ok it’s the University) to find something that is more rare than a good meal at Red Flopster…….
…..Sweet tea in Minnesota!!!!
That’s right folks, you heard it here first. A restaurant chain called Raising Canes has opened a location near the University of Minnesota.

Yessir, this place has that wonderful southern delicacy that is sweet tea has finally arrived in Minnesota. Walking in, we were hoping that it would be at least OK, to be honest I wasn’t expecting much because we are so far from the south, but I have to say it was dang good! Not as good as El Ok Corral, but close the flavor from say…Jack In The Box. Another thing we noticed was that almost everyone that came in had sweet tea too! It’s going to spread like wildfire!!!
After getting about 4 large refills, we headed back home while stopping at the St. Paul Cheapo to pick up the jewel case version of Porcupine Tree’s Nil Recurring (a must buy!).
Upon arriving at the house, mugs of sweet tea in hand, Kera and I started to get ready to make dinner. Now, since you barely know who I am, I’ll explain that I love food, and that I love to cook food; and not mac and cheese or that stuff. (If you’re into food and cooking, check out this blog, it’s one of my favorites: Michael Ruhlman). Kera and I have made it a mission to eat at a new restaurant every weekend locally that we have always wanted to try. A couple of weekends we tried a great pizza place called Punch (best pizza crust ever!), and this upcoming weekend we are planning dinner at an Afghani restaurant called The Khyber Pass. Before I start drooling, I’ll elaborate on my love of cooking…specifically; Sunday’s supper…
So, the night’s menu was:
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Blackberry & Red Wine Sauce
Mashed Potatoes with Saut?©ed Shallot
Roasted Asparagus
Vanilla Rice Pudding
Here are some photos of us prepping the meal:

The blackberry & wine sauce that complimented the tenderloin

Whipped potatoes with Shallot

Kera whipping said potatoes & shallots

The finished & plated product

Dessert; rice pudding sprinkled with Cinnamon
After some minor burns on my hands, we arrived at our final and yummy meal! And as you can see we forgot the asparagus!!! We were lucky however that the bed of carrot and onion that we cooked the pork on was sooooooooo good.
Yes, I told you I liked food! I warned you! So, hopefully you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep on you keyboard. Speaking of falling asleep, I believe it’s time to wrap this post up. I hope you enjoyed my first post, below are a few albums I have been enjoying lately. I thought I would share these with you and hopefully you’ll see something that catches your eye! Thanks so much for reading, and look for more posts from Kera and I to come soon.

Hey’all!
As most of you (should) know… I now live in MinneSNOWta. It’s pretty much an understatement to say that it’s freaking cold up here. It’s pretty much an understatement to say that every time I step outside the door, or even open in, I feel like I’m getting frostbite on my entire body. Just the other day in Fargo, it was -30, and some guy threw water out of a cup, and it froze instantly before it hit the ground! Now THAT is cold. Right now, as I look out Matt’s bedroom window to the offices and stuff by his apartment building, people are wearing SHORTS…. It’s 28 and people are wearing shorts. Those of you south of the Mason-Dixon must be wondering what kind of strange backwards place I must be inhabiting right now…
Anyway, before my move to the great white north, Matt came down to Nashville and we spend Christmas and New Year’s together. It was the greatest Christmas ever! Here are some pictures:

Deck the halls, freaks!

Heff testing out one of his Christmas gifts

The happy couple; warm & cozy on Christmas Eve
Then, the warmth was over as plane tickets were booked unexpectedly early to fly to Minnesota. The original plan was Matt’s parents were going to drive down so I could take more stuff up; but things changed and things popped up. So on the 10th, we took off. Our destination; Minnesnowta.

Between the clouds…

Well, what can I say… It’s the wing.

Downtown Chicago from a few thousand feet

Tilting Up…

Tilting Down…
Finally, after landing at O’Hare we were able to de-board are tiny aircraft. (One aisle had 2 seats, the other only had 1) We headed on in and I immediately started taking pictures. Here’s a few of them:

Two women rush to catch a flight

The grandiose O’Hare…

It never ends!

A very shiny escalator

Berlin? Paris? London? Tokyo? Morocco? Hong Kong? … Your flight’s just at the end of this…. International tunnel!

Matt at the gate
So, we boarded, obviously. Now come the second half of this journey, the…whiter half.

Goodbye, Chicago and O’Hare… It was fun

Above all clouds

Me… Feeling a little bit sickly

A very vague porthole

Breaking through the clouds… I’m now in the great white north.

The outskirts of St. Paul; My new home…
Our flight landed around 2:50 or so. The moment I stepped outside I was already freezing. I had only seen Minnesota in the summer, and this time around it was quite different. Salt-coated cars sloshed through an icy-black sludge on the roads, and every curb was piled 3 feet high with that same icy-black sludge (except that this stuff had frozen rock hard) and every heating vent and smokestack was releasing giant white poofs that floated efforlessly into the air. … I know I’m making it sound terrible; but that’s what snow does. Anyhoo, a few pictures around Matt’s house, if you will…

Taken from Matt’s bedroom window

KerandMatt
About 2 and a half weeks after I showed up, I went on a 4 hour car ride to a rural town called Detroit Lakes to visit Matt’s family. … If you were to look on a map, it’s parallel, maybe even a bit farther north than Fargo. So it’s up there. At night, it’s so cold every single sound can be heard…. You could hear a pin drop 3 miles away it’s so quiet. The only thing you can hear is the trains that pass through every 20 minutes or so.

Taken from the window of the room that I stayed in…
While up in Detroit Lakes, Matt, his dad, and I headed out about an hour away from there to a town that made Detroit Lakes look like New York City; Erhard, MN. Why did we go to a town called Erhard? Ice Fishing. … Yes, that’s right; Ice Fishing! To be honest, I wasn’t quite comforatable with driving a 2 ton pickup truck into the middle of a frozen lake and then going and sitting in a little aluminum box all day, but it was much better than I anticipated. First of all, the fish house had a heater, so that made it about a thousand times better, secondly, that lake was solid as a rock. 2 and a half feet of ice from all of the -30 nights they’d had–I even drove on the ice a bit, and Thirdly, because we caught some freakin’ fish, mayne! … I caught 3 of them; A big Crappie, a little crappie, and a very ugly, slimy Northern Pike. (We didn’t keep it… Matt’s dad took it off the line, took it out of the house, threw it on the ice and stomped the living daylights out of it… Just kidding. He threw it back in the lake using a previous fisherman’s hole.) Anyway, I’m sure you’d rather see pictures:

Ladies and gentlemen; Erhard.

Matt and Myself… Wandering around…

The drilled fish hole

After Ice Fishing–Sunset.

My heaping catch of a Crappie
So all in all, the 3 of us caught 4 edible Crappies (They are pronounced Crop-Ease). The next day we breaded them and grilled them up for lunch! (Not whole of course, Matt’s dad cleaned them you nimrods!) They were tashty!
After Ice Fishing, Matt’s dad took us to a few very remote places in Minnesnowta after Matt and I had mentioned that we’d never seen the Mily Way. (”You’re kidding?! You’ve GOT to see it!” I think was his reaction) We stopped at 2 places; one had a bit too much light pollution, and the second a crazy shot-gun totin’ yankee that told us to get off his property… But, I did get to see it, as faint as it was, I can say I saw it!
We eventually left the next day on the desolate Highway 10 that runs down the middle of Minnesota. (Remember that part in ‘Fargo’ when Steve Buscemi and the Russian are driving down that 2 lane highway in the middle of the night? It looked a lot like that. Except it was daytime.) We rode in silence as we passed through such towns as Wadena, Frazee, New York Mills, Otter Tail, Perham, Cushing, Little Falls, Rice, Than eventually St. Cloud, Clear Lake, Big Lake, Becker, Elk River, and finally Minneapolips! Here is a picture I took alone Highway 10:

Since then, I have not returned to the great white north OF the great white north, But I’m expected back this Easter. The lakes should still be frozen over at that time, which means, perhaps another round of ice fishing is in order? We’ll have to see…
Until Next time, I leave you with this:

Minnesnowta is really not that bad.

Hello Everyone!
… I decided that it’s almost been a year since I’ve posted anything worth reading. … And well, I think that I should post something that’s bound to get some attention… And perhaps embarress a few ‘freaks’ …
Just today, I logged in for the first time in a long while from my new home (Minnesota) to check up on things. … I decided to look at my webstats. For those of you who don’t already know…. The webstats are Web Statistics. How many views I have per month, where these views are coming from, and–oh yeah… What people have searched to get here.
Which is just what I am about to reveal. … Weird stuff that is usually kept secret. … Well, Not anymore. I’m sick of freaks coming to read my blog. … I know what you search, and who you are… I’m going to now post EVERYTHING (In order from most searched at the top, to least searched at the bottom) that has been searched from February 2007 until now. Just be lucky I don’t post your IP adresses, you sick freaks. … Well, not all of you. But whoever feels the need to search ‘Cop Cars’ and find my blog 100,000,000 times per month needs to fall of this earth!

Hey hey hey, folks!
I am sure you are all wondering WTF happened to me! Well… To answer any possible questions that could arise…
1) I did not die.
2) I did not almost die.
3) I did not slip into a coma.
4) I did not get keel’d by Yu-Gi-Oh! Worshippers, and then brought back to life by D&D nerd wizards
5) I did not get keel’d by D&D nerd wizards and get brought back to life by Yu-Gi-Oh! Worshippers.
6) I did not get sick of posting on here.
7) I did not get sick of your comments.
I did not throw my computer out the window… (yet)
9) I did not have my computer thrown out the window by an outside source.
10) I did not have my fingers removed or cut off.
OK this is what happened to me:
1) I did get a boyfriend.
2) I do have Senioritis. (Not lookin’ for a cure, thanks…)
3) Did I mention I got a boyfriend?
Yup… I speak only the truth to y’all and the truth is this: I got myself a fantastic Beaux over Spring Break… His name… Will remain confidential. But for now you can call him Vapor Trail. He is a member of JapanSylvian.com and he is also a member of the Porcupine Tree Forum. If you want to stalk him, there you go.
Anyway… As Vapor Trail swept me off my feet clutching a limited edition Porcupine Tree album in his teeth, I have been sparse on JapanSylvian, Spotty on myspace… And quite scarce on here. Which, I do in-fact apologize for. Now stop planning to take off time for my funeral. I’m not dead… I am, in fact, very alive.
I would also like to mention to you all that Mr. Vapor Trail is quite the Sylvian fan. In fact, that is how we met. A friend of mine directed a curious Vapor Trail to me when he was in need of many-a-Sylvian albums. I was able to overload him with the great crooning genius… And alas, we got to know each other… And there you have it.
So… I’m guessing you all want to see photographs of my sanguine Beaux… So… Here you are… Photo’s of the Vapor Trail who has swept me off my feet….
Practicing for his future photo-shoots in the rolling stone…

Vap in New York City to see Blackfield…

Also taken in New York City…

Taken at the Vapor Trail’s house…

The Vapor Trail in all of his melodic splendour…

Well… That is my update. I promise I will be more swift in my updates here. You all rock for waiting so long… Hello? Hellooooo??

OK So I only took forever and a day getting around to posting this thing. Forgive me for my slowness I have been… Distracted…
Anyway… A few weeks ago (when I should have posted) we were warned that a storm was a’brewin’ on the outskirts of Ar-Kan-Sauce… The news channels made a big deal about it for at least a week before, so naturally, we were all glued to the television to see if any dangerous conditions were afoot.
For days the meteorologists had been threatening that a massive tornado outbreak was about to occur including middle Tennessee on March 1st. Needless to say my computer and I are still here, so I was not sucked up.
First of all, let me let you all in on a little secret: Those 2 snow days we had last month… Remember, the first day we got off and it didn’t snow at all?? Why’d we get off? Well, I would say that the News was building it up to be much much more than they knew it was going to be… And here’s the clincher: The day before we had the “Snow day” was the first day or SWEEPS MONTH. … But hey I’m not complaining!
Anyhow, with this Tornado thing… They were saying to batten down the hatches and hunker down with a flashlight because the next day was going to be WINDY!
… Well they were partially right about the wind… There was a nice cool breeze in the sunshine air with white fluffy clouds and stuff…. But that’s it. I totally charged up the batteries in my camera if I saw any tornadic activity, I even skipped school for the day with my brother… Because truth be told I didn’t want to get caught in a situation like last year. (Tornadoes swept through Gallatin destroying many homes and keeling people…. Yeah. Gallatin’s what… 5 miles away? 10 at the most?).
-The storms that swept through last April after storm threats from the news:

-What I saw a few miles away as I drove home from school early (goin’ like 90…)

(Not an acutal picture–But an accurate representation.)
-A screenshot taken on March 1st 2007 of the list of schools closed early as a precaution… As you can see by the scrollbar on the right, that isn’t even a 4th of the list from TN alone!

Anyway… That’s not the point. The point is, I think we had some like… Drizzle… And I’m pretty sure I heard a rumble of thunder… That’s about it thought. So I put my camera away. I was glad though that we didn’t have to deal with twisters, though…
However, it was fine of me to have skipped school anyways because all schools were let out 2 hours early… So MJHS was let out at 1:05. Unfortunately, in Enterprise Alabama… They also let their schools out 2 hours early (1 PM I think) so… While parents were waiting in line to pick up their kids, as kids and teachers were running all around the building, as busses were being crammed full of happy kids getting to leave early… A tornado totally HIT that school killing kids and injuring more. Yeah. Let that be a lesson to schools all over the US that if there is a threat for tornadoes coming soon again, that schools should be CLOSED. NOT in session for 4 hours or whatever. … I think that LIVING is a little more important than school… But if you ask a schoolboard member that they may have to think a while about it…
Speaking about what happened in Enterprise… The mayor got up on TV and proclaimed that he thought the schoolboard decided to do “The right thing” despite the disaster that hit…. Umm ::COUGH COUGH:: Bullcrap. ::COUGH:: … Anyone have a Ricola?
Okiedoke… That is quite enough of that.
… Skip ahead to later that week…. Err… Next week I mean. I was signed up to go chill out at Vanderbilt for a day because I had my photograph and web site entered into this contest I barely knew anything about…
Anyway… I’m dreadfully late… And as I hurry up the pristine stairs of it’s oh-so-arty lobby I see… No one. I was like the first one there… So I hang around for a while and go around to grab some totally AWESOME free pens. (Seriously… These pens light up, there were huge pens, pens with trolls on them…. It was great!) Actually, to be perfectly honest the pens were the best part. Not to mention I didn’t have to run into any Vandy-brats, so that made this day a lot better.
-Here is where I hung out most of the day stealing way too many pens than I should have… That shot wasn’t taken of the event I attended, however, it looked just like that!

So after sitting through a couple of boring seminars. (Which my peers were falling asleep during) We basically took a freakin’ nature walk through campus to get to the Mellow Mushroom…. Yeah, you Nashvillianites know what I’m talking about… You probably think: “Mellow Mushroom?! Ain’t that a pizza joint?! I thought you were like on that stupid diet or whatever!” Well… I AM still on that stupid diet, or whatever. I got a salad… And it was so tasty that we just said SCREW SEMINAR THREE and stayed there the whole time until the awards ceremony.
So the awards ceremony: I’m falling asleep… They call out a bazillion kids who won crap (Most of which were from hoity-toity Brentwood high GRRR!) As I am sleeping they apparently called out my name for an award… So this chick passes me some certificate ’cause I won first place in something… So I’m like “WTF Is this for?!” And apparently, I won first place for my page on the Bear News Magazine… w00t! … Even though they spelled my name wrong… But then again, who doesn’t.
Oh I almost forgot… I have a wee ghost story to add to this section of my blog so listen the eff up all you skeptics out there… This ones for you:
So… I’m riding in vanny down to Vandy (lol) with the ‘rents and we are stopped at a light. (It’s like 6:45 AM so it’s still dark out) Anyway, I glance out the window and I see this lone swing hanging from a tree… Except it ain’t hangin’ that thing is swingin’ and I mean SWINGIN! It looked like it was weighted down by something heavy. Plus there wasn’t a breeze in the air…. The clincher was the top of the swing was all twisted up… And what’s supposed to happen as soon as the kid gets off the swing? It’s supposed to un-twist itself, that’s what!! But it stayed twisted. I glanced over to see my mother staring wide-eyed at the same phenomenon… “Did you see that?!” She asked in surprise. “Yeah…. Creepy swing…” I said “Must be a dead kid.” She replied. … Since then, I have driven by that house with the swing and I haven’t seen it swing by itself again. …DANGIT! I never have my dadgum camera when I need it.
OK I’m sorry if you think my ghost story was pretty lehm… But if you think you have something that can top that one (Which you probably do) please tell me. *Waves hand in the air* CONFIRMED ghost story/paranormal phenomenon freak, here!
OK well… There isn’t much I can add to what I just said… So I won’t.
Anyway, it’s Spring Break now… I don’t go back to prison school until next Monday. And no… I don’t mean the Monday coming up, I totally mean the one after that. Eat your hearts out.
Anyway… Enough of that… Even just the thought of going back makes me want to pound my head against the wall ’til it bleeds and then maybe I will have to think about that more than the thought of school that keeps eating away at my head and tainting my soul… But I shouldn’t be complaining…. I have had a great break so far!
One part of this break that has been so great is the fact that I lost 5 pounds. It must be the fact that I have began exercising. (which I will be doing again as soon as this blogs over) So far, I have been losing 10 pounds a month which is 2 extra pounds per month than I anticipated… If this keeps going I shall be at my goal weight by October-November somewhere in there… Then only a few months from then until I get my thousand dollars… Suckers.
OK so I know this blog is full of words and junk that most of you people won’t even bother to read. (Which includes this so why bother?) I don’t know… Anyway, for all you people out there that just read this for the pictures…. Enjoy these… Lazy freaks.
To show the rest of the US that Nashville is freakin’ nice, and to show the rest of the world that we don’t really run around in ten-gallon hats and cowboy boots as much as they’d like to think:
My dad’s precious button… His only button, actually…

We are cranking some seriously awesome tunes, here…

Here I am… looking like I am about to beat someone within an inch of their life… I must have seen an MJHS tag from someone’s rearview.

Out on the open road… Destination: Nashville….

Approaching… Yet again stuck behind another god-foresaken POS… Honda.

A very nice shot of the city… Might as well have a huge cowboy hat, right?!

Nearing Spun Tim’s store… The road is bare… Then again it’s Sunday at noon…

Almost there….

The outside of Spun… (Which is, sadly, going out of business.)

The entrance to Spun….

Spun’s DVD room…

… And Spun Tim himself… Weilding his loaded gun and tiny bottle of whisky…

The DVD we got at Spun about the awesome Jack Nance… Yippee!

On the way out of Nashville now… So, what’s your choice- Knoxville or Chattanooga?

No I do not support the drinking of Bud Lite… Heineken is much better!

This must be near Opryland…

Yay. It’s Percy Priest dam… Can we go home now?

Caught a Jet plane in action…. Ah if only I was on it to Tokyo… Or London…

Swinging by our local grocery establishment…. Publix. (Which owns Krogers…)

A little closer to where I live…

A cool shot from the mirror… Caution, it may be closer than it appears…

OK pretty close now… Welcome to Mt. Juliet? *Barf*

Back again to see if everything on JapanSylvian is going smoothly… As you can tell by the picture… Indeed it was…

OK enough pictures for y’all?!
That’s what I thought!
‘Till next time,
-K-
PS: 17 pound loss and counting!

Dear Teenagers…
I hate you.
I know that I already wrote a teen-bashing blog many moons ago; But don’t worry… This isn’t another blog about how stupid and gross teenagers are. Perhaps I shall make it a tad more specific;
Dear Teenagers who drive hatchback sky-blue Honda civics, Beige Saturns equipped with a sunroof (And a Pink Lei), White fart-blaster Honda civics (Probably 1997 models), and white Pontiac Grand-am’s who like to try and run people off the road/tailgate them/cut them off/slam on their brakes after cutting off/while sticking their middle finger up multiple times to people who are minding their own business… I hate you.
PS: Please do us a favor and drive head-on into a concrete wall (re-enforced with steel) very fast. It will definitely let me drive a little easier. Oh yeah… Don’t forget to take your little friends with you.
Seriously… I don’t know what I did to these people. It’s a conspiracy I swear… A group of prep/jocks gathered together one day and decided to make my life on the road a living he- Er, New Jersey…
Reasons behind this are either/or:
A) My weird appearance.
B) My bumper stickers. 0.o
C) Boredom from the other party.
D) Revenge for me not letting them cut me off.
E) Revenge for me not letting them tailgate me.
F) Revenge for me not letting them run me off the road.
G) Some other crap reason that only a teenager could try and justify.
Anyhow… For everyone else out there… Here are some warning signs I typed up to spot out a crazed hoe-bag of a teenager that you should avoid on the road:
A) Leis… Chances are, if you see a chick with a lei, she is a narcissus hoe and will try and cut you off… She is probably on the phone or applying makeup. So if her stupidity doesn’t kill you… Her cruel superiority-complex way of driving will.

*If you are reading this and are offended because you have a lei… BURN IT! Trust me… You’ll thank my later. Not only because I saved you the wretched reputation, but because you were able to swerve and miss that tree you would not have seen otherwise in the nick of time as well.
B) Leis… Dudes that have leis drive just like the prissy chicks that have leis on their rearview… Except they are secretly gay.
*And speaking of the lei-craze… What the frig?! This isn’t even Hawaii… We aren’t even anywhere near Hawaii… It would be much more fitting if the kids hung cowbells from their mirrors. … Stupid Hawaiian wannabe’s.
C) Visors… Visors hanging from the rearview of a dude’s car are a big one. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Especially if the vehicle is an SUV or a Honda…
D) School tags (::Cough cough:: MJHS ::COUGH::) If you see this, you know the kid around you is a teenager… GET OFF THE ROAD NOW.
E) Black windows - You know, the ones so tinted that it must be perpetually nighttime to the people inside? And you couldn’t see in them if you had a spotlight and night vision goggles? Oh well… You wouldn’t want to anyway. If you could see in there, all you would see is a bunch of teenage bro’s giving you the finger.
F) WRITING - Another biggie… If you see a car that has a novel’s worth of writing all over the windows… STAY BACK. Though the writing is unreadable, it usually says “I luv you” or “Ur a hoe” or “I luv ur myspace” And kids that have writing on their cars are probably popular… And kids that are popular are probably stuck up snobs… And stuck up snobs will probably try and run you off the road… So the bottom line–AVOID.
G) BODY KITS - After laughing at their cheesy primer-grey body kits (And the wal-mart ropelight they probably have duct-taped to the bottom of their car) This means: RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!
H) WINGS - Wings, Fins Tails, … Whatever you want to call them… What it all boils down to is it’s just a big piece of plastic that buttholes super-glue to their trunks. Avoid the wing-mongers. (Who probably also have cardboard body kits) And ya know what? I wish that the cars that have these would actually do what it looks like it’s gonna do–Take off and fly, fly, fly away!
AVOID THE FOLLOWING:
*WARNING: DO NOT VIEW IF YOU HAVE WEAK HEART/STOMACH CONDITIONS

… Your typical bro-mobile… If you could see the owner of this car… I bet he would be a blond guy with a visor and cargo pants.

Hold on–Wait a minute–Isn’t that like a Lincoln Town Car??!! It probably cost more for the CRAP than the car istelf! Too funny.

Ok- IS THAT FIN BIG ENOUGH FOR YOU YOU BUTTHOLE?! Oh well… You know what they say–Giant plastic fin that’s an ugly aqua color on a hatchback… Small… Umm– *ahem*

Hey! I think that chick goes to my school… Anyway… You see what I mean? It’s just basically a piece of crap with some more crap thrown on it for good measure.

Ok… This blinding peice of junk has got to be a cop car that sold it’s soul to the devil. … And the devil is MTV.

WHAT?! OH MY GOD MY EYES! MY EYES!!! AHH GAD!!! THIS IS RAPING MY SOUL AWLLL!!!

HOLY CARP–You could fit a freakin’ sperm whale in those fart-pipes there… AGH! Someone please take a sledgehammer to this vehicle and put the world out of it’s misery…

… This picture makes me want to kill people. … If any of you find this car, please egg it… Then promptly set it on fire.
… If you found my post about these cars offensive, and gosh-golly you just find neon and hydraulics to be freaking GENIUS, then by all means… Leave me a message or comment… I assume you know where the comment clicker is, and I would not love to hear from you!
… As Justin Timberflake once said: “Cry me a river…”
—————-
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT… Horrifying cars… I’m sorry if I scared you all out there so I think that I will end this b-log on a higher note.
Last Saturday, dear old dad and I went to Sam Ash and we got a freakin’ DRUM SET, dude!!! It’s beautiful. Midnight Blue, Brand new, and a Tama. And since we spent a certain amount of money… We got a free acoustic guitar, too! … Aw shucks, I’ll just post pictures!




… The last picture I used a flash so you could see the beautiful color… And dust… Yick.
So basically, you can tell now that our jam-room is what used to be our living room… The mother unit isn’t very happy about this… Especially when I come out to practice drums… Hehehe…
Oh yeah, the free acoustic guitar… Pretty good for something free! Nice sound.

Below I caught a few shots of Darth Heffer over here noodling around…



… Anyway, about the DRUMS! So I just hop on there the first day and think I can play like Steve Jansen… Yet I am highly dissopointed as I can’t even blink and tap the cymbal at the same time… But after a few days of practicing, I can now play Adolescent Sex, and… That’s it. But hey, It’s a start!
Oh yes… Almost forgot–After a month of dieting… I have lost about 10 pounds… Yahoo! Soon we will be getting an Ellipti-whatever, a rowing machine, and maybe a treadmill… I can’t wait!! Unlike last time, I have been staying on induction quite strictly. I keep it under 10 carbs a day, and I plan to until the end of March… It’s hard–But nothing can stop me now! Also, I have been lovingly dubbed the ‘Carb Nazi’ … Go figure.
ANOTHER THING–Happy Birthday, AGAIN to musical genius David Sylvian who turned 49 (And doesn’t even look it) on the 23rd… HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I could never imagine my life-Nay, the WORLD without the beauty and genius this man has given us. I raise my glass to another 49 years of beautiful music from him…


So once again, Happy Birthday, Dr. Gorgeous!
To my readers — Thanks for stopping by and putting up with this ridiculously long blog… But hey, it’s been nearly a month since I have written and I needed to catch everyone up!
-K-
PS: Only a week and a half till my two week Spring Break! Oh, my toes are sweating at the thought already… Egad!

Dude.
IT SNOWED!!! IT SNOOOOOOOOOWED!!!!
… On Wednesday night, we all prepared for the approaching blizzard. I was whisked away by my family to Publix (Our local grocery establishment) to stock up on groceries… And well… Apparently, everybody and their uncle was, too.
So, after barely escaping the insane parking lot with my life and food, I went home and basically shut off my alarm and checked the Channel 4 snowbird site ten thousand times…
Everyone kept whooping it up! Saying It’s going to snow, shut off your alarms, get out your sleds!!!
The next day I woke up, the roads and lawns and nearly everything was as dry as a bone!! There was little more than FROST in our county!!
Yet none of that mattered as school was STILL CALLED OFF! So Thursday was basically just a free day… Technically not a Snow Day… Technically.
On the news that day, the Meteorologists claimed that round II of snow would be coming Thursday night… And that THAT round may prove to be more hopeful.
Anyway, everyone was like: “PHHT!!! - lollzzz… Whatever man… It’s never gonna snow… The meteorologists are LIARS and we’re goin’ to school tomorrow… Kthnxbai.” … Well, everyone was thinking that… Except me.
I followed my instincts and decided not to turn my alarm back on… I KNEW in the back of my mind we would get snow last night… I don’t know how I knew but I did… But just to make sure, I checked Channel 4 about ten billion times last night…
I was almost on the verge of telling my ‘Instincts’ to screw off when I checked the internet… One… More … Time.
And there, on the bottom of the list- My county was added. Oh the joy! I ran down the halls searching for Heff… When I told him… He screamed and hugged me. Whether we got snow or not–School was out!
… So this morning, I wake up and see 2 big bulging brown eyes staring back at me. It was Heff. He kept saying something over and over:
“It’s white! It snowed! It snowed so much!”
He was grinning like a fool and would not go away! So I got up myself… And low and behold…. THE SNOW.
Now enough talking! Time for me to post my very own SNOW PICTURES as of Groundhog Day (February 2) 2007.
1) Here’s a pic of the ‘hood around 9 AM this morning…

2) Here’s little Heffy taking a sprint up the hill…

3) This is me…. Using my ultra-superhuman-northern-Pennsylvania snowball packing skillz to make a snowball (This snow was bad for packing!) in less than half a second…

4) … A few moments after I made that same snowball, I pelted it at the parental-unit’s window… Hehehe… And as loud as it was, I still don’t think it woke my dad up… Also, excuse me for looking like a big grinnin’ dummy…

5) Here I artistically express my love an adoration for this rare day on my dear vanny…
(You can view this pic bigger by clicking it)

6) Even Lamont, my little devil, acquired a halo of snow before the night was over…

7) “The Judgment Is The (car) Mirror” … And it is saying… Snow Days for everyone in Tennessee!

I made this miniature version of a snowman for Heff this morning… He was not amused… However, I thought it was cute… I had to rescue it from certain death, though, when my dad decided to take the car it was sitting upon to the post office.
It is now out of harms way on my mom’s tin-can of a car… That thing will never start. Hehe…

9) Dude! And icicle!! …Not quite big enough to fall and keel someone… But maybe an ant.

10) Little Heff got chilly about an hour after play… And said he felt like going in to eat breakfast.
Aww… Poor widdle Heffy…

So there you have it folks, my first SNOW DAY of my Senior year! may there be many more…
Speaking of many more… This 4 day weekend could, perhaps, turn into a 5 day one…

…. That also goes for Sunday night… C’mon snowbird, we live in like, Deliverance county… Where the tires are balder than the head of Homer Simpson, and the drivers even worse than that… FULFILL OUR INNER CHILDS WISHES!
(It looks like I shall be doing many snow-inducing chants to our super-sophisticated-saviour Sylvian on Sunday night…)
Oh yes! I almost fir-got! The diet! *Palmface*
… I’m actually doing quite well so far… (Probably because there’s a thousand dollars involved…) I even went out of my way to travel a whole mile to Big Lots and purchase this bouncy exercise-mechanism…

This is the BODY BURNER… Huzzah!
… I know, I know… Those mini-trampolines are what old ladies in Brent-hood use… But at the moment I have no choice!
… Just remind me to duct-tape a pillow to the ceiling before I keel myself…
Anyway… Enough talk of exercise, it makes me hurt already….
… This Friday is a GREAT day…. Here are a list of reasons why it shall be so grand:
A) FRIGGIN SNOW, DUDE! … Duh.
B) It’s Groundhog day… Which means I get to watch one of my favorite movies of all time… “GROUNDHOG DAY!”
C) 4 day weekend… (wOOt!)
D) I get to write some bass lines to some songs… wOOt wOOt!
E) TACO SALAD dinner tonight! My favorite diet dinner EVER.
F) I’m going to start shooting my skit/movie today! (!!!)
G) A new MONK comes on tonight! (Hurray!)
H) I get to meet a local Sylvian fan tomorrow… Hip hip hurray!
As always, thanks for reading!! … Whoever you are…
-K-
PS: HAPPY SUPERBOWL WEEKEND! For those who don’t know… It’s the Colts Versus DA Bears… (go Bears!)
PSS: Happy Groundhog Day… Wish I could be up at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, PA! But sorry! Can’t make it… I’m SNOWED IN! …Haha.

So last night, my mother and I shook on it… Looked into each others eyes and said “It’s a deal…” If I win, I get 1,000 dollars. If she wins, I have to pay her 1,000 dollars. Betting is fun… Unless you lose.
To get 1,000 Dollars by January 27th, 2008, All I have to do is fit into a size 5 or lower in pants… That’s all… But that’s a big “all.” I have an entire year to drop many-a-pant size for my grand… How shall I go about doing it? Simply… My brand new diet… And maybe a bowflex.
… I better be able to lose, because if I can only get to a size 6- I still owe her a grand. My father is thinking of buying a bowflex since the entire family (With the exception of Heff) is dieting now. And perhaps I can convince him to get one of those folding treadmills…
Anyway… It really sucks because as most of you know… Atkins is the opposite of being Vegetarian. … And I really don’t care for meat. I mean, I used to like it until i went on Atkins the first time… After that, I never wanted another bite of steak again. To tell the truth, I would rather eat a box of Ho-Ho’s every day for every meal for the rest of my life than eat steak. (Actually, That box of Ho-Ho’s thing sounds pretty good… *SLAP!*)
Anyway, my goal was to previously be as then as Mr. Sylvian, but I then declared it impossible because he is a male and has a different body shape… So, I changed it to the closest thing… A very thin… Female. And If I could get that skinny… Why I would be one blessed little thing, I would…
So here goe’s nothin’…
Oh yes… There are no picture on here… So… Here are 2 pictures I have lying around just as a treat for all you Sylvian and Fretless bass fans out there:
Gorgeousness…

A really really cool fretless Alembic… It probably costs more than my house…

Well… There you have it. So goodbye… Next January my bet shall coincide around the time of the Superbowl… So… Please buy a big foam finger that says “Kera #1″ And paint your stomachs so it says “Kera’s Mom Sucks” … And please stand in the correct order…
Thanks for readin’

PS: Speaking of Twinkies, and HoHo’s… I’m reminded of an extremely funny line delivered by Adam Sandler from the movie “Click”
Sandler: *Walks by 2 packs of sweets & grabs a Ho-Ho* “Aggh… I don’t need it… I don’t need it… I don’t need a Ho-Ho…” *Puts the Ho-Ho back and grabs a sweet from another box* “… But I do need a Yodel.”
Hopefully that won’t happen to me!
