so i've got some good news...

we lost all three games of bowling tonight.

but we didn't lose by that much.

and it was against the best team in the league.

and no one on our team has bowled in over 2 weeks. we're a little rusty.

and i think it might have been a practice game.

we decided to go with "the bowling stones" - jody's idea.

so i think we've got a good chance of doing well this semester.

that's all

summer bowling

okay, a new season of bowling league is going to start on july 2nd. we need to think of a new team name and individual bowler names. so if you want to help out and think of something clever, that would be great! so all 4 of you that read my blog, think hard!

i've thought of a couple that i think are way funny, maybe i'll make a list and post that up later. if no one gives any suggestions, i'll assume that you're all just as not creative as me and my team. and that's not cool.

this picture of a bowling ball is to motivate you to think of a good name. if you don't think of one, don't be suprised when you see mr. t pop out of the a-team van and yell at you, then shoot something with a million bullets from the same clip. he does it all the time. he'll do it too cause he owes me a favor. i'm the one that told him the chuck taylor converse allstars are the shoes to wear when all you have is overalls and huge amounts of gold.

Paint

i couldn't sleep the other night so my methods to make myself tired were painting a sweet picture on the paint program that comes on a computer and playing minesweeper.

check out my picture.

i think it's pretty cool and there's not one specific interpretation so maybe if you can't fall asleep sometime, you can look at this and see how many interpretations you can make.

the 200 club

i finally made it to the 200 club in bowling. just barely. there's not really a club that i know of, but that's what we call those who have broken past the 200 barrier. last week i bowled a 204. this isn't a post to brag or anything, my mom and sister told me to, and i've got some time at work right now, so i figured i'd post about it.

it felt pretty good to bowl over 200 especially since the people on my bowling team were making fun of me for never being able to do it before. and now i don't know what else to write. here's a picture.

i don't usually wear a sweatband when i bowl, but it was team uniform night so every team that wore matching uniforms got 40 points added to their lowest game, so we wore those sweatbands as a team uniform. they're pretty sweet because they are reversable and the other side is blue. if i didn't have any scruff on my face, i'd kind of feel like bleeker from juno with that sweatband, not that i made anyone pregnant or anything, just cause of the yellow sweatband.

Sierra!

Hey, my sister Jenny and her husband Jason had a baby on June 6th! it finally happened after 9 months of weekly comparing the baby's growth to some sort of vegetable! it almost seemed like jenny would be pregnant forever.



so the baby's name is Sierra Anne Sneddon! here's a picture.

so now i'm totally an uncle! uncle billy! maybe when i'm old it'll be uncle bill. we'll see. it'll be fun to see sierra when she's 6-9 months old because that's when she'll be big enough to wear the vans slip-ons with black and pink checkers and the skulls and matching bib i got her.

hey.

not a lot is going on here, but i'll post some pictures so that should be cool. i'm on day 20 of not shaving now. it's pretty sweet. here's a picture of what i look like.

also, it was my birtday on friday! i got some awesome gifts from family in the mail. my sister jenny sent me campitelli cookies. those are my favorite, after my mom's cookies of course. i used to get campitelli cookies every morning in the summer with my neighbor, forest anthony. when we were really young, we'd ride bikes there, like our little red schwinn with the banana seat and the huge yellow bike from jc penny's that our million year old neightbor, Dez, gave to us.

when we got a little older, we'd ride our skateboards there. we'd always ride behind "the good guys" store by the loading dock and it was always a rush to go down the hill there and try to dodge all the pebbles and stuff that would make you come to a dead stop on your board and make you fly off. so eating those cookies tasted good, and also brought back a lot of good memories. i remember jenny went with me once on her longboard and she ran over a garden hose and flew off her board! haha. good times.

i also got some sweet bowling shoes! mom and jody sent these to me.

they are way awesome huh? i'm going to go use them in like 15 minutes.

on my birthday my good friend matt keller bought me some korean food and then we went to someone's house and played a card game called pounce. i had a birthday cake and everything. i even spelled my name on the cake using tons of tootsie rolls. it was so delicious. we finished off the night by watching my big fat greek wedding with the group.

friday was not only my birthday, but it was graduation from training at my work. tuesday i start as a real employee out of training. crud. it should be fun. i need to learn how to speak korean better.

i'm going to go bowling, maybe i'll add more stuff to this post later.

bye

hey everyone, here's a little bit of what's been going on.

the bowling league started on wednesday! we were short one person on our team, so it was just three of us against a full team of four. we won the first game, lost the second, and totally dominated the last game and won by 111 points! and afterwards we ate lots of delicious ice cream. everyone on our team did really well and i'm looking foward to wednesdays now so we can bowl and have fun and win. not to mention bowling regularly will give me the chance to beat my sister jenny's high score of 199. i kind of don't think i'll be able to beat it, but maybe i'll get lucky. oh yeah, our bowling team name is Muchos Puntos (some people think it's a swear, but i think it means 'a lot of points'. either way it's awesome). and we all are going to have mexican names for our individual bowling names. right away jamie announced that her name will be queso (cheese). it was like she had that one stored away waiting for a time when a mexican name was needed. she decided that fast. and matt is jesus (pronounced hey-zeus). i'm guessing it means jesus... i'm not sure. i don't speak mexican. i'm still trying to think of a good name. i kind of want a name with that hard "h" sound, like i'm spitting up a lugie.

also, i'm not the only person at my apartment anymore. my cousin chris is here until the 28th so he's sleeping in the other bed in my room. he's been having fun going to ward activities and putting new pipes on his harley to make it even louder. it's pretty sweet, and i think i want a motorcycle now, but i probably won't get one so don't worry mom. it would be nice to have a vespa though since gas is so expensive! and my roommate darren in back from california. when he was there he had his wisdom teeth removed and found out he has two tumors on his right knee. we all think it's pretty cool. but tonight we ate pizza and watched the movie "CONGO" with the killer gorillas that protect diamonds. the movie wasn't as good as i remember. that seems to happen everytime i watch a movie i haven't seen in over ten years.

yesterday i got a call back from the company where i applied. the company is called nu skin. it's a pretty good paying job and i'd get to speak with the korean clients on the phone. so i start my training on monday. i've got a pretty sweet shift too, its from noon to 6pm. so i can still sleep in and party all night! and i found out that if i'm stressed or tense i can get a massage at the company. it's a pretty awesome deal!

that's all.
