I Love Lamp

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,

Yesterday was a busy day. After a full fun day at work starting around 5:30 AM, I went to have some family photos taken at Farmington Pond with my stepmom's family. It was cool to see everybody and all...but honestly, the photographer had no idea what they were doing (inexpensive) with arranging kids and getting things done quickly before the young'uns start to squirm. Also, I'm not sure why we had to drive all the way out to Farmington Pond for a tree backdrop. Oh well, I guess that's why I'm not the professional...and when/if I get some copies of these photos, I'd be happy to share them with you...but in the meantime, here are a few from my cell phone.

After that, I went straight to the Puck to meet up with Angel, her husband, her brother & a bunch of her friends. Like I mentioned yesterday, it was the first time we had seen each other in eight years so we caught up a bit, shared some sweet potato fries, and then watched some brutal UFC action. The first fight with the featherweights or whatever was disappointing...but the second match, I saw a dude get knocked the f**k out...repeatedly, in slow motion. My day was complete. Dan Henderson literally knocked his opponent in the face...and he fell right to the ground like a sack of meat...and since this is mixed martial arts, that doesn't mean it's over...so Henderson pounced on him like a tiger...and popped him in the face another time, even more gruesome than the original...and then the referee stepped in and called the fight. Wanna see it? Fast forward to about the two minute mark of this YouTube clip. BOOM!!!








After that, I went to meet up with JL Clyde and we watched "Grandma's Boy" and one of the trippiest movies you'll ever see "Daywatch" by director Timur Bekmanotov who did "Wanted" and just has a weird disregard for physics & reality in general. It's pretty cool. Check it out...but be prepared for some confusion. I also got a call from Mrs Wingman and she has had a bad few days. Mostly because her eldest son has been really sick the past few days after helping out up at Boy Scout Camp...and they apparently put too much chlorine in their drinking water so everybody who had been there more than two days was getting sick...and they've been passing the puck as far as responsibility for it. Oh well, I was there to comfort her a bit...really just listen to her vent...but that's what good friends are for...and hopefully we'll be able to hang out in a few weeks when I can drive down there for a few days. I miss those Wingmans. We always know how to have fun...usually inexpensively too, which is always appreciated.

First things first though, I'm super excited about my upcoming trip to Vegas to hang with Bubbles for her birthday. She's already arranged for a Wii Party and I'm sure there'll be a few drinks involved one way or another. Also, I've been hanging at my pool the past few days trying to make it noticeable when I take my shirt off (hot, right?) and I'm starting to get a little color...ladies. Let's see, what else? My brother & stepmom's birthdays are coming up too...so I'd better figure out what to get them before I'm put on the spot. Any suggestions? I hope that you're all having a wonderful weekend!!! Play safe!!!
