  • Ahhhhhh, man, I’m exhausted for some reason. I woke up shortly after
    10. I exercised and mowed the lawn. I was waiting to see if Dave would
    call to go to the track, but he never called. It was ok. He told me all
    along that he didn’t think he was going to be able to go anyway. I also
    had back-up plans, Scooty was planning a bbq at his house. He said to
    be there anytime after 2 in the PM. John and I arrived about 2:15.
    Scooty had TIVOed a clip from the Jeff Foxworthy roast that had a guy
    doing a killer Bush impression. Scooty had been telling me about this
    damn thing for months, and finally, I had a chance to watch it. I have
    to say, though, that it was well worth the wait. The guy that did it
    was amazing. He was dead on. It was scary. And funny.

    We started to play beanbags a while later. Scooty’s girlfriend’s kids
    were very interested in playing. It sucked, because, they kept wanting
    to play, and they were also annoying, what with they kept going after
    the bags each time one was thrown. Anywho, eventually, we played a game
    in which is was John and I against Scooty and Chris. I have to say, I
    really stunk up the place. I was awful. Couldn’t hit shit. Of course,
    the wind was blowing, which did not help things at all. Needless to
    say, we lost. We played a little while later, this time I got stuck
    with a 10 year old on my team. Supriseingly, he actually did very good
    and carried my lame ass, as once again, I was awful. We wound up
    winning 2 in a row before we played Mark, who spanked the shit out of
    us.

    After playing for a while, we had dinner. The food was…………eh,
    it was food. It was good, but nothing too exciting. After eating, we
    headed over the the park area to play volleyball. I thought i was bad
    at beanbags, but vollyball I was downright pathetic. Of course, in all
    honesty, we all were pretty damn bad. And to make matters even worse,
    the sand was rough. There were like little pebbles in the sand, it was
    awful and hard on the feet. I actually had to play with my socks on.
    The only good thing, was that there was a cute dude playing basketball.
    Shit, I would have loved to have played him one on one, if you know
    what I mean.

    After 3 games of really bad volleyball, we left. We came home and made
    smores…………hot damn, they were good. After the kids went to bed,
    we played Uno and a card game called 99. Again, I was bad at both. I
    guess it just wasn’t my day, at least, in a competitive sense.

    While we were playing, though, I thought about something. What if songs
    had to be sung with proper English and correct grammer. For example,
    Beck’s “Where its at?” would have to become “Where it is located at?”
    And “I can’t get no, satisfaction” would be “I can not get any,
    satisfaction.” Also, words like aint wouldn’t be able to be used. So,
    “Aint nothing but a G thing” would be “It is not anything but a G
    thing.” And in “Louie, Louie” they would say “Louie, Louie, we have got
    to be going now.” Or “Just a hunk of burning love”. And “Hey ya” would
    become “Hey there, you!” I sometimes like to change up some songs and
    make them sound really really lame. For example, “Hot in here” by
    Nelly. I try to sound like a lame ass white guy and say something like
    “Its getting rather warm in here, so remove all articles of clothing.”
    See, just think about how lame that sounds. I don’t know if its even
    funny, but its, at the very least, mildly amusing.

  • Actually, it would be “Where is it located?”  You are never supposed to end a question or a sentence with the word “at”.  More often than most think, the word “at” is completely unnecessary.

    The mere fact that you know some lyrics of “Louie, Louie” is rather frightening.

  • I actually knew that, we were talking about that very song and I said that at would not be at the end of it, and then when I typed it on my Xanga, I included it for some reason. But, thanks for the correction.
