What if this happened to you Jeff?

This is my Blog: "THERE WAS A DEAD GUY AT MY HOTEL!!!
Yea a dead guy! I couldn't believe it. I was having a normal day at work everything was going fine and then I got back to the hotel. My co-worker called me and said I had to get upstairs to see something. I got to her room and she pointed out the window. I saw police tape and a bag. Then I noticed the foot sticking out of the bag. The was crazy. There was a dead guy at my Hotel! She had snapped this picture before I got there. I got to watch the coroner bag the guy and carry him off. I have never see anything like that before. It's not like I grew up in New York. "

Amazing

Well folks, it looks like Google has done it again. They are now beta testing "Google Ride Finder". It is amazing folks. Combining the Google maps and some real time location devices in certain cities you can locate taxi cabs on the web using this amazing tool. Go ahead and check it out - http://labs.google.com - I love it. I don't know where Google gets there ideas but I wish that I had just a little bit of there imagination and the resources to do what they do. I believe that Google could possibly be plotting to take over the world or something but I love them anyway. Wouldn't you say so Jeff?

I need an update!!!

So last night I missed my favorite show. I worked at church last night helping out backstage putting microphones on and moving props. I had a good time and the speaker, Ken Idleman, which is Kyle Idleman's dad did a really good job. I just need an update though what happened on Lost last night. I read that it was supposed to be introducing the lives of some of the other characters on the show and I missed it. Of course I sure that the rest of America missed it too because after all this week is National Turn Off Your TV Week. I mean WHAT? That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard of I think. Who comes up with this stuff. Now yes I would agree that America does watch to much TV. I think that the average amount of time that Americans watch TV is like 6 hours a day. I am lucky if I can sit down 6 hours a day. I don't know were people get the time. Anyway if those who weren't participating in this week of no TV could get me an update that would be great.

Life...

Life is an amazing thing. I was at work today at a client's site and looked out the window and saw a blind woman walking down the street. She was having trouble finding her way around because there was construction on the sidewalk and a fence was redirecting the path but I guess she was a little disturbed because it was so different from usual. Any way I was walking out the door to help her but someone was already headed that direction and was closer than I was and he helped her through the construction. It just made that think about how fortunate I really am that I have all my sense and my health. God is really an awesome God.

Fast Fact...

Did you know that to out run the sun at the Equator you would have to run or at least be moving in some type of vehicle 1038 mile per hour. I find to be pretty interesting. The speed will obviously get lower and lower the further you move from the Equator though.

Thunder Fun!!!

So Raquel and I went to Thunder Over Louisville with Eric, Elizabeth, and Chief yesterday. Some of us had a great time but other were freezing. We took like 40 drinks with us and had frozen them so that they would be cold all day long so that we would have to pay the ridiculous price at the street vendors. It turned out though that we didn't even have to do all that because the temperature was 40 degrees all day long with a wind chill that put it close to freezing. The weather was ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. I was really missing our usual seat which is up in the Galt House which is a hotel right on the river. When you are up there you can go in and out all day long resting on the couches and staying warm until you are ready to come out, but this year we were down the common folk. Anyway this is the end of April and we had snow and sleet last night while at thunder. I got up for like 1 minute to help Raquel cover up and it was nice a calm then but all of a sudden it started to sleet and during that 1 minute my seat filled up with sleet and my seat was all wet. I was so mad. We did make it through the day and for all of you who don't know what Thunder Over Louisville is. It is the biggest display of fireworks in America. It is the event that kicks off the Derby Festival here in the Bluegrass. We all had a good time though I think and I am sure that we will be there next year as well.

The Pace...

Why is it that in America we feel the need to squeeze time as tight as we can to get every dollar out of it. Why can't we take our time and not be in such a hurry. Everyone is always in a hurry for something. I sure that who ever is reading this is ready extremely fast becuase they have something else that they HAVE to do. I just don't understand the stress that people put themselves through everyday. Did you know that America has the highest rate of heart disease and the diet for America is not that different if not better than some other countries. I don't know maybe I am an old fashioned 22 year old but I just think that it is ridiculous. I mean I could just go to the lake and relax all the time and just be stress free.

Wow!!!!

Ya know it is just absolutely amazing what Google is doing now days. I mean audio blogging. What will they think of next. That is awesome. I love it. They already are giving people over 2 gig of storage data for email and the SMS phone messaging is incredible. I love it. I can't to see what they come up with next. I guess really you could even blog picture from your phone if you have a camera phone. You could just take the picture and then email it to the blog. Wow. I love it. Jeff this is a quality company would you say. Down right quality folks. I am still waiting to see if they release a browser though.

Bonk!!! I just ran the spell check on this post and the dictionary didn't know the Google. I find that quite ironic don't you?

The Great Apartment Search of 2005

So I have less than a month to find a new place to live, so today I'm kicking off the official hunt for apartments by looking at a place in the posh and preppy Marina District of San Francisco. I'm really excited. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a dump. Many more details to come.

The slip...

Well I had a little adventure tonight. My brother, Eric, was stranded at school tonight because his battree (That's battery for all those not in Kentucky) in is Explorer went dead. When we got there Raquel and I went on inside to check things out because I had attended there a couple years ago so I wanted to see the changes they had made. While we were standing there one of my teachers passed by so we started talking about things. After the conversation was over he walked away and I looked over to Raquel and she laughed and showed me her belt and she said, "Well I look like a big dumb. My belt fell apart so I took it off." She took off here belt in the middle of the hallway with my exteacher and I were talking 2 feet from him. I just started rolling. I thought it was hilarious.

Why???

Why do people insist on being idiots? Can someone please answer that question for me? Here's is my story for the day. I had to work up in Sellersburg, IN today. I am from Shepherdsville, KY. To get to Shepherdsville, KY from Sellersburg, IN you have to take I-65. So on my route home on Interstate 65 at 4:30 PM (Rush Hour) I am driving along in the fast lane so that all the other cars and get off the the over crowded ramps. And folks as I was driving I looked over the right and spotted a yellow moped on the interstate with a white car following it with it's hazards on. I just don't understand what people's thought process is here. They had traffic backed up who knows how far and the lady in the car was giving directions to the teenage girl on the moped via hand signals so the girl wasn't even watching the road half the time not that she really need to because she was doing 25 and everyone else was doing 60. I don't maybe I am the stupid one. I mean can they not see the sign on the ramps with the vehicle restrictions. Well any way thought that I would just vent a little bit.

Amber Lynn First to Participate

As you all know in our small community here at GroupBlonk, we want everyone to participate and interact with us. I don't exactly know how many people have been reading our random stories over the past week or so, but I would just like to extend a warm welcome to our first active participant of GroupBlonk, Amber Lynn. In fact, Amber has contributed more to the blog than Zach has! Amber, we appreciate your support and we hope that you tell all of your friends and pets about us in hopes that they too will embrace our little world for what it truly is.

There are exciting things in store for GroupBlonk. We just want to make sure that people are interested and actively reading. Brian is basically the brains behind the blog, I'm more of the idealist when it comes to what we will become over the next couple of months, but now I'm rambling and being all philosophical (cue "Glory Glory Hallelujah"), so I will go for now.

Thanks again, Amber. We love you!

Terrible waiters

Well tonight some friends and I went to Max & Erma's to eat to celebrate Adam"s birthday. While sitting there the waiter felt like he needed to just share his day with us and sit down at the table with us. Why do waiters feel the need to do that, I just don't understand. Then Neal asked for a refill on his Coke and the waiter said "No, but I can get you a Pepsi." Ha Ha. Oh my gosh he was driving me crazy. When Raquel ordered she ordered a Caesar salad without the Caesar dressing but with ranch dressing. He then proceeded to basically question her about her order like she didn't know what she wanted to eat. Then when he brought the order out it was all wrong and he began to blame it on the Mexicans in the kitchen. Why do people have to be like that you know. I mean they are people too. Well anyway we finally get through the meal and as we were paying he came back to us and said are finished basically and said "I gave you my only two pens and can I have them back to take the to another table." I mean what? Who was this guy? I just couldn't believe it. Needless to say we had a bad experience at the Max but we will be returning because they have great cookies.

i am here!

OK, so as I continue to get talked to...and yelled at for not posting anything on the blog, here I am...finally! I must also say that I have been struggling to find a funny story to put on the blog-because as you all know, I am quite a boring person.

Speaking of boring...my first story is from a staff meeting that I was recently at.

The place where I work...is quite a serious not-fun place to work. Anyways we were in the middle of a staff meeting, and the Senior Pastor was telling us something (I don't remember what it was), but in the middle of one of his sentences, one of the youth staff members just yells out BORING!

I must say it was quite possibly one of the funniest things that I have ever seen. I could not contain myself, but everyone else seemed to, at least for the moment-but I busted out laughing uncontrollably. As I said before...it was hilarious.

So there my friends, is my first blog entry!

Where is Zackers?

So as I was perusing through our newly created Blog, an instrument through which we share our lives with the world, I noticed something not to be just right. I reviewed the color scheme, and it was fine. I checked to see if all the links worked and that the font was big enough so that everyone could read, and yet I still found myself looking puzzled and asking why. But alas, I know what is wrong with our tiny (yet growing in popularity) community.

You see, we have a member of the group who participates far less than all others...the weak link in the chain if you will. It is none other than Zachary Scott Montroy whom we will affectionately refer to as Zackers who is neglecting his duties in bearing his soul to the world for all the electronic community to view and marvel at wondering how in the world someone can be so odd.

So join me in welcoming Zach to our world. Maybe with everyone's support, Zach will learn how to create a Blog entry.

Does anyone find this paper concerning? This was posted in everybuilding I think in San Jose. I couldn't believe that they would post something like that. I mean doesn't this sign say come on in?

Flakes???

Does is concern anyone that someone found the way to put the wonderful taste of mashed potatoes in a flake? I mean really how did they do that? Mashed potatoes are a tricky dish to whip up. When you make them there is always the chance that they will be to runny or to lumpy, but when you use the flakes they are perfect. Just follow the directions and there you have it folks the perfect mashed potatoes. I find it to be one the modern wonders of the world to be quite honest. I love mashed potatoes and they have made it so easy.

Jeff and Buzz Lightyear (Part 2)

So I'm not even kidding. The guy looks just like ! He works in the engineering department at work and when he was talking today and he bugged his eyes out, he looked just like good ol' B.L. ready to take on the evil Zurg. It's Zurg right? Oh well, just let me know if I need to brush up on my Disney/Pixar film trivia. Anyway, it's late and I just found out that I have to return to the lovely hotel at 6 a.m. so I will be heading to the bedder.

This is the four us at Brian and Raquel's wedding. Starting from the left we have Jeff, Raquel, Brian, and Zach

Where would you want to be stuck?

This is my first post to the blog and what a great memory this will bring back. It happened while the four of us where all together in Shepherdsville, KY. It was about 10:00 PM one night when I got a phone call at my parents house. Raquel, Zach, and I were all hanging out at my parents. The phone call was from Jeff. Jeff was screaming when I answered the phone and I could understand him. When I got him to speak normally and tell me the story I just busted out laughing. He was stuck in the bathroom at our church. So the 3 of us drove up to church and I broke in the door to rescue my friend Jeff When I got the door open I saw to no amazement really, Jeff, in the fetal position on the floor rocking back and forth. It was a great night. We laughed incredibly hard over that incident. Well thats all for now.

Jeff and Buzz Lightyear

So I was sitting in the employee cafeteria, and I realized something quite startling......

I work with Buzz Lightyear. More details to come.

old man

OK, so Brian just informed me today of what a BLOG is...and my wonderful roommate Jeff, told me that it was mandatory that I join. SO HERE I AM!
