Thoughts of Groucho Marx…

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

All people are born alike – except Republicans and Democrats.

Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.

Humor is reason gone mad.

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

If you’ve heard this story before, don’t stop me, because I’d like to hear it again.

 

Interesting Colorado Laws…

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Every state has weird and pointless laws that everybody breaks, mainly because they don’t know about them but also because they are just so dumb that following them would be ridiculous.

Some of Colorado’s include:

  • It’s illegal to crash into a lift tower or a sign while skiing
  • Cats must be fitted with a tail light if they sneak out of the house
  • You may not abuse rats in Denver
  • Driving black cars on Sunday is illegal
  • It’s illegal to throw snowballs

That’s right, these are laws. Other states have some stupid laws too. In North Carolina you must pay property tax for your dog. In Delaware it’s illegal to pass out on the boardwalk. Parents in Alabama are prosecuted for missing parent-teacher conferences.

I suggest google-ing the weird laws of your state and then follow them to the tee. Or, if you are anything like me, go and break all of them and see if you get caught.

Thoughts of Alan Moore…

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel.

Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that people who have the most live the longest.

Colorado National Monument…

Monday, June 27th, 2011

We went up to Grand Junction this past weekend, Ashley had a basketball camp and Heather’s college (Colorado Mesa University) is also up there. The scenery is beautiful and breathtaking.

While we were up there we visited the Colorado National Monument and took about four-hundred pictures (not an exaggeration there) because it was so amazing. Also right around that area are the Book Cliffs and the Grand Mesa, which is the largest mesa in the world.

I had a lot of fun while up there, though the mosquitoes were killer and car kept vapor-locking on the way back so we didn’t get home until midnight… Anyway, it’s a gorgeous place and if you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out!

P.S- I’m going to try and post some pictures, but I’ve never actually done that before… keep your eyes peeled!

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I’m 16!!!!

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

If you are actually on this site, you probably know me well enough to know that today (June 18th) was my birthday. My sweet sixteen, in fact. YAY!!!!

It was great, I had a lot of fun! And thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, whether by phone, text,  facebook, or actually face-to-face I really appreciate it!

There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.

Room Guards…

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

I really need to stop leaving my room unattended for any extended amount of time. Previously they’ve used it as a storage room. They’ve also killed my fish. This time they hijacked my bedside table.

Yup, I’m hiring room-guards.
