Proof I CAN cook...

... I just choose not to.





After a solid 1.5 years without having to cook, I showed off my culinary skills of baking desserts to an audience of 3.

Dad (who's jaw dropped to the floor), Mom (who of course had to tell me everything I was doing wrong), and Anna (just the worthless basset hound hanging around in case I dropped something).

Seriously folks, this event is more rare than seeing a wild mongoose tap dancing on broadway so I had to take a picture as evidence that I do occasionally wander into the kitchen every now and then.


Bolda's Christmas Party


Me... before alcohol


Me... during alcohol


Me... after alcohol


Bolda's roomate, Paul, helping me out with my drink.


That's Bolda and yes that's underwear on his head.

Bonfire


Fire... LSU style

It was finally cold enough to have a bonfire and it was nice and quite with just Chad, Kathie and her husband Mark, Bethany and myself. I'm not sure why I took pictures but I'm glad I did. The one above ended up being really pretty with purple coals.


I'm sitting on the bench in the middle.

Chad shot the picture above with his phone... kinda looks creepy but still very cool.

Relationship Advice from Kids

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kirsten, age 10


WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
-- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)


HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8


WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8


WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10 (young Einstein)


WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9


WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8


IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8


HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10 (this kid is way ahead of the game; probably I.Q.
above average)

Best Little Convent in Texas

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of Texas highway when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye. It reads:
  
   SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
   HOUSE OF  PROSTITUTION
   10 MILES

He thinks it was a figment of his imagination and he drives on without second thought. Soon he sees another sign, which says:
    
      SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
      HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
      5  MILES
 
Suddenly, he begins to realize that these signs are for real.  Then he drives past a third sign saying:
   
     SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
     HOUSE  OF PROSTITUTION
     NEXT  RIGHT

His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:
 
    SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS

He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you, my son?"

He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in possibly doing business."
 
"Very well, my son.  Please follow me."
 
The man is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, "Please knock on this door."


He does as he is told and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door. This nun instructs, "Please place $100 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway." He gets $100 out of his wallet and places it in the second nuns’ cup.


He trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, pulling it shut behind him. As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in the parking lot, facing another small sign:
 
   GO IN PEACE.
   YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED
   BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS. 
   SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER

Custody Battle

A seven year old boy was at the center of a courtroom drama this morning when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents so the judge awarded custody to his aunt. The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he refused to live there. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents the boy cried out that they beat him more than anyone. The judge then decided to allow the boy to choose who should have custody of him.

Custody was granted to the New Orleans Saints this morning as the boy firmly believes that they are not capable of beating anyone....

LSU vs Alabama

( 26 - 10 Win )

When I say the Crimson Tide has come to town I'm not
talking about football... I'm talking a menstral cycle.
Well, unfortunately for Bama even their uniforms look
like used tampons (GROSS!)and unfortunately for LSU
they brought some of the traditional pleasures of
being a girl... cramps. I think Saban handed the offense
some Mydol in the locker room at half time and told them
to stop being a bunch of sissies because it was The Biggest
Game of the Year (hereafter TBGOTY), and so named because,
according to Nick Saban, whichever game the Tigers are
playing each week is TBGOTY. Got it?



So TBGOTY was the ninth straight home victory for LSU and a
rare victory over the Crimson Tide in Tiger Stadium.
Prior to the 2000 victory the Tigers had not defeated
the Tide in Death Valley since 1969. The reverse has
always been true in Tuscaloosa. The visiting team has
always dominated between these two teams. However,
since Saban's arrival in Baton Rouge, LSU has won four
out of four games against Alabama, including two in Tuscaloosa.

Just as predicted, two of the top-rated defenses
came up big Saturday night. The game lived up to its
billing as a defensive battle. Alabama has the No. 1 defense
in the nation and LSU is No. 4 but this time around
LSU's defense just came up a little bit bigger.



The first half had me screaming things you just don't
expect to hear from someone so sweet and innocent looking.
It was hard to watch the Tigers struggle, especially on
offense. Its been a long year for our two quarterbacks.
I'm sure they get to hear all week long what they did wrong
during the 60 minutes of divided time on the field.

I'll spare you the details of the bad calls, missed calls,
and really really bad decisions made by whomever had
the ball... but I will say that when halftime came the
Tide had the 10-6 advantage. After halftime, it was a
completely different story and LSU completely shut out Bama.
Suddenly the brave Bama fans that were standing so smuggly
in the student section dissapeared.




So the rest of the game was spent standing inbetween Chad
(I'm so glad you were able to get a ticket!!!) and my friend
Joshua (whose paper airplane was put to shame by an ordinary
napkin haha! :P thanks for inviting us over after the game)
dancing silly dances and utilizing my bragging rights even
though I knew there were no Bama fans around anymore to hear.
Cruelty is all part of the game.

Tide Slur #1. - Roll Tide Roll! Down the back and through
the crack. Roll Tide Roll!

Tide Slur #2. - Roll Tide Roll! Round the bowl and down
the hole. Roll Tide Roll!

Tide Slur #3. - Close your legs! Its cold in here.
(said by the guy standing behind us to a girl in crimson)

Anyways, I had my hot chocolate and even though it
was cold and windy there's still no better place to be
on a Saturday night than Death Valley because when
Mike the Tiger lets loose a roar that makes the hairs
on the back of your neck stand up (which he did twice)...
then it's Game Time.

Little Old Ladies


BLAZING at about 3.2 MPH... I wonder what she's got under that hood

So I pulled up to an intersection and I see this little old lady.
I couldn't believe my eyes... I was sitting there saying...
"oh my god, please tell me she isn't going to" and she did...

cruising down the street on her little scooter.

THAT'S why everyone should have a cameraphone.

Vote 2008



In all the hustle and bustle of the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential Election, a bit of news has sparked my interest. News worthy of my short attention span. The United States postal service has announced their 2005 stamp releases and Jim Henson fans will get a special stamp next year in honor of the Muppets creator.

Ten Muppet characters will share a sheet of stamps with a single stamp for their creator, Jim Henson. The Muppets honored include Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Sam the Eagle, Statler and Waldorf (the two old cranky guys), Animal, Rowlf the Dog, The Swedish Chef, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker, Camilla the Chicken and Gonzo. Below the single Henson stamp is a larger photo in the sheet's selvage showing Henson in silhouette sitting on the floor, back to a wall, knees drawn up, and talking to Kermit.

I say we go above and beyond mere homage to Kermit on self-adhesive postal devices... I say that if Kermit was to run for election in 2008 with Arnold by his side (because hopefully by then amendments would be passed to allow non-natural citizens and amphibians to run for the office of the president) there is no way they could loose.

Think about it... it's the perfect combination of cute, fuzzy, and green (the side that makes world leader's hearts melt) and rambo-muscled guerrilla tacticts (the side that strikes fear into every dictator and terrorist). If you can't get your way by giving them the warm-fuzzy feelings... you can always resort to sending Arnold in to kick some butt.

TSU vs LSU vs Vanderbilt

( 20 - 24 Win )( 24 - 7 Win )

Alright Alright I know I've been slacking... buuuuut a funny thing happened on the way to the game last Saturday. Actually, it wasn't so funny. My car died (and has yet to be revived). So I missed last week's homecoming... although I wouldn't say I "missed" some parts of homecoming. I like the parade but I can do without the whole pagentry part.

Anyways my point is... I didn't go but I did get to watch it on TV at least although Tigervision sucks esp. on a big screen tv. So I was sitting on the couch, doodling some sketches for my sculpture class while watching splotches of color on a screen and thinking... I thought you were supposed to pick a team that you could dominate for homecoming?



TSU has suprised many teams in the past with great performances and that night proved to be one of those nights because the Tigers fell far short of dominating anyone except maybe the cheerleaders. DAMN YOU FOR NOT LETTING US WEAR OUR LUCKY WHITE JERSEYS!!!

I think Nick Saban chewed some people out in that locker room at half time... oh well... a W is a W.


Marcus Spears gets another sack

Moving on to a team I love to make fun of in every way possible... Vandy. How much does Vandy stink at football? Let us count the ways (which will probably take more time than counting the fans).

1. Walk around the Vanderbilt campus and you'll see no sign of school spirit, except for the banners hung by sororites who "love the Dores" but not enough to show up at games.

2. Most of the tailgaters are decked out in the opponents colors.

3. As the mighty Commodores sprint out of their tunnel to the roar of their fans, they are drowned out by the overwhelming cries of the visiting team's backers.

4. Even the rare goal-post tearing down moment has an empty feeling which brings me to the age old question: If a goalpost falls at Vandy, will anyone be there to see it?


Oh look... another touchdown.

*shrugs* win or loose, mostly the latter of those two options, they are the poster-childs of those who can't... shouldn't.

Now for highlights. Alley Broussard ran for 80 yards and a touchdown, spearheading a strong running game by LSU. Against Vanderbilt, LSU rushed for 273 yards. LSU, which was second in the SEC in passing at 249 yards a game, threw only 11 times for 102 yards against the Commodores. It was the fewest passes for LSU since the Tigers threw only nine times against Tulane on Nov. 27, 1980.


Seeing big yellow butts was a re-occuring theme for Vandy players.

The Commodores struggled against the Tigers' defense, ranked fifth in the nation. Skyler Green returned a punt 65 yards in the third quarter. Did anyone else hear the crunching on that huge hit the next play after that? I actually kinda felt bad for whoever that was.

Speaking of Skyler Green... Skyler the girls that were sitting behind me seriously want to have your babies... you should give them a call and procreate.


Loved this t-shirt... the fighting squirrels

Every game for the last two years my dad has written a poem after each game... I've never posted any of these "creative" expressions but today I shall. In his literary debut Ernest Daigle presents an ode to...

TROJAN MAN
For those who get lucky
Trojan Man tries to help make the night
Well, LSU got lucky
but this time, Trojan Man put up a fight
A sordid tale of defeat the Trojan Man began to spin
Whle LSU tried hard to give away a surefire win
Out of their sheath, the Tigers finally burst through
Longivity = 4 hard long quarters for our boys from LSU
Trojan Man, your plans were surely meant for our harm
but when the night was over, it was our Tigers who left Baton Rouge
Feeling sensations, of a victory, so nice and warm.

As I Mature

I've learned that you can not make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. (that one's for you Michael Adam Miller)

I've learned that no matter how much I show I care, some people are just assholes. (too many people to mention here)

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. (don't I know it)

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you'd better have a big willy or huge boobs. (What if you have both!!! EWWWW!!!)

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others since they tend to be more screwed up than you think. (cheerleaders with eating disorders for example)

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. (gratefully I haven't learned that yet)

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities. (or you're cute and short)

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place. (or he knows how to cook)

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't workign in your house, one of your kids did it. (not applicable to me THANK GOD)

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. (that's why I have a human-sized fly swatter)

I've learned that sometimes something good will happen... if not tough sh@t. (yeah i didn't write that one... or any of them for that matter)

Quotes about Beer

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
-- Babe Ruth

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.
-- H. L. Mencken

When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!
-- George Bernard Shaw

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
-- Benjamin Franklin

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
-- Dave Barry   

BEER: HELPING UGLY PEOPLE HAVE SEX SINCE 3000 B.C.!
-- W. C. Fields   

Remember "I"! before "E", except in Budweiser.
-- Professor Irwin Corey

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group." Salvation in a can!
-- Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his buddy Norm:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Look Maw! Elevation!


This is me...



and this is my trip to Nashville, Tennessee...

First time in an airplane in twelve years... let me tell you
I was a little bit nervous. I packed way too much for
one person, but I didn't realize it until I was dragging it
around the airport in New Orleans. Its a small price to pay
for 4 days relaxation with no strings attatched.

Anyways, got there on a Tuesday evening... went to sleep *wooohooo* soooo exciting I know... but I was tired.


Yeah there's a guitar going through my head...

Didn't do too much while I was there... couldn't... I was poor.
That's okay, Nashville was still a beautiful place to walk around
and last time I checked walking was free.


A funny thing happened on the way to the Parthenon

That's my favorite picture... some columns... yada yada I know
it may seem boring but its a beautiful picture. That was taken at
the art museum in the city park, a to-scale replica of the Parthenon
in Greece... way cool. I called my mom while I was there and told
her that I was at the Parthenon because I decided to go to Greece...
her response "but honey, I thought you were in Nashville,
why did you go to Greece"... sometimes its too easy hehe


I know its crooked... downtown Nashville.

In this picture you can see the "infamous" batman building.
Its just a building with pointy ears that apparently Bellsouth
inhabits. From a distance this building stands out on the skyline
and it really does look like the batman costume Val Kimler used
to wear... upon further inspection I compared it to a transformer,
which is like the god of all old-school cartoons, and another
friend said it reminded him of a truck... so I'm guessing the
correct answer to this "what is it?" question is... all of the above.


Home of the Tennessee Titans

That's a very nice stadium...


Hard Rock Cafe

And thats a spinning guitar in front of a very nice stadium...



and THIS is where the hockey team would be playing if there was such a thing as a hockey team playing hockey right now *ugh*



I just put up this picture cause it has Gumby and Pokie in it :)


Thats a rockin' fiberglass horse.

Speaking of fiberglass... I've never seen more fiberglass Elvises in my life... I mean really what's that obsession all about. Anyways that's the Wild Horse Saloon. Downtown Nashville has plenty of hole-in-the-wall places that are institutions in the music industry. Everybody famous has at one time played here or there or somewhere in the vicinity. Music row, where aspiring nobodies take their demo-tapes to hopefully become somebodies, looks like an ordinary street in the garden district of Baton Rouge. Its really quite boring yet somehow not.

One thing that isn't so boring... basements! These people have real basements... I've yet to see a basement though (we don't have basements in Louisiana... we can't even bury our dead underground in some places cause of the shifting of the soggy earth)


I got the blues.

Somebody once told me that the home of blues was recently moved from Memphis to Baton Rouge. My question is... why? Nobody in Baton Rouge knows this... which is unfortunate because I've really grown to appreciate certain genre's of music that I didn't when I was younger such as Jazz and Blues and Classical and all that good stuff. One genre I'll probably never be able to "appreciate" is country... I'm not sure why but it just irritates me... all that and I go to Nashville for a vacation... so ironic.

The one thing I learned from this trip... them peoples in Tennesse love waffles... there's a Waffle House every 5 feet I swear...
