*yawn*

(I meant to post this on Sunday yet, but I got a bit distracted and couldn't do it right away)

Wow, what a weekend.

I stayed at a friend's place (*hi richelle!*) for the weekend, and yikes.... the things we do: I think we scare people. (honestly)

For instance....... somehow we got this whole monkey thing going on. You know, those little monkeys that march around with the clapping symbols? Yeah........ well, turns out that waltzing around in circles imitating them quite amuses us. (Yes, we *are* mature people....usually.....except when we have our weak moments..........)

When we see each other, one of our "things" is to have those potato wedges from 7-11, and beef jerky (delicious): this visit proved to be no different. After grabbing (and paying for) some potato wedges, we walked down to the Co-op and casually sat on a bench to eat our "lunch." We got some pretty strange looks from people passing by... why? We weren't sure: but it was pretty funny.

Richelle is also a superb drawer (*your welcome* :P), so she taught me some "techniques"... if you wanna call it that. Mainly, she "coached" me through drawing Bambi (a pic of my drawing is yet to be posted). I accidently forgot to connect his left back leg to his butt.... so his leg kinda comes out of no where. hehe.... Oops! He looks awesome.

We *almost* got to the theatre to watch King Kong.... but for some odd reason Richelle declined the offer (even after I offered to pay! grr)..... :) oh well. Another time... *sigh* ;)

And talk about tired-ness! We've been planning on having a Lord of the Rings marathon for quite a while, and we ended up picking a very interesting night to do it. :) We started The Fellowship at about 7:30pm Saturday night, and ended at 6:45am on Sunday. We slept for 4 hours and 15 minutes in total; we would have slept longer, if not for Church. We were toast.

From Richelle nearly falling asleep during the middle of the marathon (thank goodness for cold water - it wakes people up quite nicely :P), to our awesome inside jokes... great stuff. And to think: I *almost* beat her on the X-box! Man... and air hockey, it was all pure chance, girl. ;) We also made this really cute miniatre snowman... he was knee high (or *just* shorter), with a red bandana around his neck, and a crooked smile.

Hope we can do it again soon, Richelle!
Peace!

Welcome...

Ok world, here I am!
Welcome, one and all, to "Al's Amazing Anti-Pink World"

After noticing (for several months now) how popular these blogs are, I've *finally* decided to take the plunge; to try something new for 2006, and to just be myself. I've decided to create my own blog! Oh yeah........ now I'm gettin' good.

Don't expect too many "deep" thoughts from me. I'll give my thoughts on random things, but whether they will be profound or not.... I guess you'll have to judge that one for yourself.

So, please - enjoy and come back soon...I *will* try writing a little more often than every other month (*ahem*)...


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
