Battle Toads

Yes i am a natural gamer, and No i can't beat Battle Toads! The game is seriously unbeatable. It is a classic for the Nintendo Entertainment System and I don't know how it has ever been beaten. You only get a certain amount of continues and warps. My friend Collins and I have spent hours upons hours and late nights trying to fulfil a simple dream of ours and beat Battle Toads. Sure the game is a lot harder with 2 people playing at the same time, but with 2 oober gamers like ourselves you would definitely consider it possible. We can reach the Aquducts but thats the end of Rash and Zit! If your looking for a good time i highly recommend playing a little Battle Toads. If your competitive you might just get way frustrated!

KaNab

For those of you who think that Kanab is a drag, then your right! I drove down THE road in Kanab and passed a wendys and a pizza hut. Surprisingly there were a plethera of Motels including that of "Perry's Lodge." Boyd and I made a roady down to spend a wonderful 2 days on our hands and knees pulling carpet out and hanging out in an awkward setting with the carpet layers who didn't speak english. I guess one of the bright sides was the fact that the wireless internet worked some of the time! Oh and they served mini muffins for breakfast.

Current Kicks

So we all go through these certain phases of life where we like certain things. I currently am
loving Celien Dion of all things. Anytime I get sick of my music I put in the very handy Celien CD
in my middle console and I enjoy it everytime. I even have decided to learn a Celien Dion song on the piano.
2 words... Guitar Hero... maybe it's because i don't actually own the game or only occasionally get to play it but I love it. It could be the combination of rocking out and feeling like your actually way sick at playing an instrument all at the same time. I am currently flirting with the Hard to Expert line and i feel really good about it.

! Pet Peeves !

Twisty ties- I swear everytime i somehow manage to unwind one of those dang things and hide it, it's on there the next time. ( Most likely only a Hallman household thing)
Having a routine- frustrating.
Carpool double white lines- You always feel trapped, and everytime you need to change lanes, those double white lines are there to tell you that you can't.
Doods telling doods to bear testimonies One special RM gets up and his testimony only consists of telling his friends to get up too. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Free throw shooting without the ball- Like this stradegy is going to help.
Excessive details in boring stories- If your gonna tell a story lets make it interesting.
Heal nippers when walking- Get off my shoes!!
$1 bets on price is right- Just cause your not good at guessing and have been on the panel so long that you need to take the easy way out.
Oober PDA. Yes this is Public Display of Affection... and no it's not kosher in a public setting!
Perky creepers- (Excessive excitment when meeting someone new.) Maybe it's just not my style. But it you want someone to like you then straight up scaring them isn't the answer.

Wendover

How many people would randomly decide to make a road trip to the outskirts of a place called Wendover, Nevada? Well Briaunna and myself were all about it, and the only purpose was to play a little Keno. There is nothing like making a road trip on a thursday afternoon and stopping in ToolyVille to see Keli and baby Nia. Thats a drive in itself and come to find out Wendover is a good 100 miles from there.

Nothing was going to stop us though and we pulled into the Peppermill Hotel and Casino late that night. We passed on places like the Golden Nugget and the Red Garter Cassinos because Skilar told us that the Peppermill was the place to be. So Wendover was a lot bigger then people make it out to be. As we sat in the comfortable little restaurant with about six total people for company, we ordered a nice round of fish n' chips and prepared ourselves for Keno.

Of course we didn't win big, but we came awfully close if that means anything. It's not the money thats important, it's the fun had that counts. So we just decided to make the two some odd hour drive back home after we were done. Yes we got pulled over supposedly going 94 mph, but even the police man knew he was full of crap and let us off with a warning. I know it doesn't really surprise anyone that i would do something like this right? I'm a fan of Wendover.
