Ramblings of Morgan Hawley

its been a while....is this thing on?

2011-03-06T21:27:00.001-08:00

Here is a quick list of pet peeves.
1. Wrong way parking, it ticks me off when people park facing the wrong way on the street. To the point where I turn into an old man and must comment every time. Every part of me wants to call crime stoppers and report this crime against America but they are to busy trying to catch drug dealers. Hello people wrong way parkers are the real criminals, its a gateway crime!
2. 4 way stops, it may be a stretch to say 25% of people know how to use a 4 way stop. For this I request all 4 ways are replaced with roundabouts and if you can figure out how to use a round about then I request you replace your car with a bus pass. The awkward is it my turn then everyone sits there and then goes at the same time so you have to wave some one, I hate it!

hello my name is dr green thumb

2010-07-10T20:21:00.000-07:00

So this summer I decieded to plant a garden and thanks to the late snow I acutally ended up planting two gardens. The first was from seeds I started in this little greenhouse with moss pellets that looked like sushi rolls. I tended to those littel suckers but they all were killed by the snow. So the second go around we cheated and went to the local nursehy and picked up some nice juvinile plants, planted those suckers and only one is partially dead at this point so we are batting about 94% the second go around. Me and the nino are all about our garden, we check on it multiple times aday, its like we are worried some phantom gopher or the DEA is going to raid our stash. But when it all gets ripe I guess we can be the weird people at chruch trying to give tomatoes away. Check out our green thumbs at work! Oh yeah, check out Finn he gardens shirtless, yeah he's hardcore like that!

Extreme B.O. Control

2010-05-26T12:42:00.000-07:00

I just bought some new deodorant, and that's not rare I go through that stuff like crazy. I have a strong dislike that borders into the ocd realm for Body Odor! So I picked up the usual 5 pack at Costco, but the usual it was not. This new deodorant had printed on the label, activated by adrenaline. This concerns me, I don't know if I am hardcore enough for this deodorant. In my younger/thinner/good back days no problem, but you see I have settled down in my old age. What am I going to do? Is this deodorant not going to work for me? Do i need to do something extreme like jump off the stairs from my front porch or drive fast every morning to get it working? What happened to the deodorant for normal dudes, not everyone is a card carrying member of the nitro circus. I hope I can live up to my deodorants expectations if not I guess ill have to start using the female variety.......which has been know to happen occasionally, sorry Val!

HAPPY BIRFDAY

2010-02-10T21:53:00.000-08:00

Shout out to my little sister Claire, she turned 22 today. And sorry for all the times I locked you in dad's bathroom so you wouldn't follow me to Aero Market!

Masters of the universe need dental work too....

2010-01-19T09:59:00.000-08:00

So there is a super cool art gallery in LA called 1988 that has random art exhibits, I was checking out their latest exhibit online based on Heman and came across this picture its pretty awesome and since I want to be a dentist its doubly awesome. This picture is titled "Skeletor Gets A Root Canal"Special shout out the the artist: Kiersten Essenpreis

Sad Sad Day

2010-01-16T20:44:00.000-08:00

Its a sad sad day there are only 3 more weeks of football left, I have already mourned the college football season ending although USC has made things interesting and continues to do so. So chalk one up for the colts the family in Muncie are some happy Indians right about now, Peyton is a surgeon. And how about those Vol fans what class, talk about amazing artwork on the rock, nothing helps hiring a new coach like male parts and 4 letter words painted on rocks!

So the wife and little dude have been out of town this past week, I thought my love of sleeping more that 5 hours at a time would be enough to keep me from missing them but it didn't, So I decided to put up some pictures of the little dude!
Finns new winter hat!

booioioioioioing!

Music on blogs is STUPID!

Denver, WHAT?

2009-10-11T19:43:00.000-07:00

How ulgy were those throwback uniforms the Broncos were wearing, Brown and Gold will forever be a horrible color combo! With all of the throwbacks being warn this season I am waitng for the late 80's early 90's throwback unis, bare midriffs, huge shoulder pads and sleeves you could fit around your waist. At least one team needs to do it, perhaps the Lions no one takes them seriously anyway and its not like they have an image to uphold.

Thanks Kanye

2009-10-10T20:07:00.000-07:00

Dear Kanye,

Thank you for reintroducing America to the worst hairstyle of all time while simultaneously redefining what it means to be an ASS. The way you shave paisley designs or some sort of shameless self promotion in your hair is commendable, do you shave a large portion of your hair so your girlfriend will not feel too bald when you hang out? Thank you for paving the way for other bozos to shave designs in their heads, i.e. Ron Artest, 60% of collegiate football players, especially the one who chose to shave Mike Vick into his head, I heard it was done by a groomer, oh the irony. No but seriously, thank you for bringing back the studded belt, and the worst sunglasses of all time and since Kurt Warner's wife grew her hair back thank you for having the token girl with the bad haircut on your arm. Seriously, anyone who has followed in Kanye's hairstyle footsteps please stop, it is heinous and no one thinks you're cool, especially you the kid on the sideline of the UNLV game with the bad haircut and studded belt, come on cant you spend your team stipend on something better. No, but seriously Kanye thank you for being just the coolest man alive, I hope you soon follow the path of other musicians with cool haircuts specifically Vanilla Ice, so go visit Suge Knight and get slapped around!

Sincerely

Morgan

The following are things that I think about, they may seem nerdy or dumb but for some reason

they occupy the every corner of my brain.

Did you know that ALL of the children that Val and Myself have will be blood type O, yep thats right we both are homozygous recessive for blood type O, no weither they will be negative or postive is another story.

What is Lance Armstrong's VO2 Max?

How can Finn create so much pee, man some of those diapers are heavy.

When the hell will my Trail 90 be finished.

How do I chop a car? ( this is a senario that has run through my mind since high school, I probably have built 1,000 of these things over the years in my mind)

Often times I find myself day dreaming about high end road bikse, you know the 10,000 variety. Val often refers to this as bicycle porn.

Finn is the cuttest baby ever!

Call me a dork or nerd but there you have it a glimpse into my brain.

Oh Pete

2009-09-12T21:44:00.001-07:00

Its official I have a HUGE man crush on Pete Carroll, I want to shout it out from the house top. But Pete you cant let the Trojans scare me like that!

Ill call it American Idol Syndrome

2009-08-11T21:54:00.000-07:00

There is a disease sweeping the nation. I only watch the first two weeks of American Idol this it when it is actually entertaining. Each year I am amazed that some of the worst singers are the most confident individuals trying out. They are also the ones that are the most blown away when the judges tell them they stink, it is as if no one has ever been honest with them in their life. Now this I attribute to parents, it is one thing to support or encourage your children and and nourish their dreams but it is a whole different thing to INSTILL FALSE HOPES, you cant sing so lets channel that musical energy into playing an instrument, find other outlets. NOT EVERYONE CAN SING! Here is an example, if your family finds you to be very funny and often tells you, then chances are your not funny this could be case of American Idol Syndrome or AIS, your mom will never tell you you smell or you are a lousy basketball player because they are trying to support you. So families don't allow your loved ones to suffer from AIS it will get them mocked and cause them embarrassment.

Ill have a 32oz Diet Gordo please

2009-08-11T21:41:00.000-07:00

Enjoy this picture, it is of me with my girlfriend, a 32oz cup of Diet Coke. Well, I have decided to breakup with her, I need to drink water so I consumed my last 32 oz tonight, I guess I will get my caffeine from Excedrin or else where but it wont be from soda! No SODA!

make you jump, jump

2009-08-07T10:23:00.000-07:00

Now let me preface this by saying I love me some Kris Kross but wearing your clothes backwards is wiggity wiggity wack! Now on with the story I have an 8:30 am class 3 times a week, what a way to spend a summer, I know! Every morning after snoozing until wife threatens to punch me in the face if my alarm goes off one more time, I get out of bed and the mad rush starts. It is like the Saved by the Bell theme song is looped in my head. So in the mad rush of getting ready and attempting to make it to class on time, in the last two weeks I have put my underwear on backwards, twice and have not discovered this until lets say 1pm in the afternoon. I know what you are thinking, 1 of 2 things. 1. How do you put your underwear on backwards and not realize it until 1pm. or 2. Wow he must have a pretty large bladder to not have to pee until 1pm in the afternoon. Well yes and no, many of those that know me my bladder is tiny. If the average bladder was a gallon Ziploc bag, mine would be the snack-half sandwich bag size. So moral of the story if your are in a rush put your underwear on correctly or it may cause you to be mocked by your wife and create some awkward times at the urinal. I think I am going to start laying my close out like a fireman, any suggestions?

rules to live by.

2009-08-06T09:30:00.001-07:00

1. No form of underwear should ever be work under a pair of board shorts, not boxers, boxer briefs or under armour! This is not acceptable I don't care if they match your tribal or superman tattoo, nope, never, none!

2.When someone drops you off, walk around the back of the car, maybe I have to make a stealthy get away and I don't have time to wait for you to walk around the front of my car, so people when I drop you off think special opps mission I need to get out of there!

3. Never ride a bicycle facing traffic! They are always to be ridden with the flow of traffic! You may jog facing traffic but who wants to jog anyway.

FINNERS!

2009-08-04T22:12:00.000-07:00

Finn is a great swimmer, to bad they dont have age group water polo for 3 month olds he would kill it! Well anyway at this rate he should be ready for the 2028 olympic water polo team, just in time for Tony Azevedo to hand over the reins.

sweet rides....

2009-07-28T17:13:00.000-07:00

The Tour De France is over, and I have looked at pictures of awesome bikes for the past 21 days, so i decided to put of a few of my new ride. Also I would like to make a shout out to Big George Hincapie for finishing his 14th Tour de France, he is so tuff he actually rode the last 5 days with a broken collar bone, he refused to let a doctor check him out because he would have to withdraw if it was broken and guess what it was in fact BROKEN!
So here is my fixie, shout out to Kyle @ SBR, Shaun at T3 and Jamisson @ urban downfall for their help making this bad boy a reality!

My kid is pretty damn cute...

2009-06-28T23:30:00.000-07:00

so it was a weekends of firsts I had the chance to do a front seat diaper change, apparently the good folks of Subaru did not take into consideration poopie diapers when designing their front seats. None the less chalk it up as a learning experience.

This is how we spent the weekend, mom and dad sleeping or wanting to sleep while finn was wide awake!

The Obivious

2009-06-15T14:15:00.000-07:00

So Adam Lambert from American Idol came out of the closet this past week, I was amazed that there were people that were suprised, come on! Why are we suprised with the obivious, here is an analogy to take you back to your high school days.

Adam Lambert:coming out of the closet::Wesley Snipes:telling everyone he is Black

Whats next people are going to be surprised that Kate Gosselin is a Biach and that her husband would ever cheat on her.

Learning

2009-06-06T21:21:00.000-07:00

Top 3 things i have learned as a new dad

1. Babies are capable of man farts.
2. Those little snapies on every piece of baby clothes may as well be a rubik's cube.
3. Naps need to be disguised as I am going to go lay down with the baby.

Reusable Shopping Bags

2009-05-17T15:59:00.000-07:00

Here are a few reasons to switch to reusable shopping bags that I have come across and wanted to pass on. I hope you feel the need to do your part, go ahead and spend a couple bucks on a reusable shopping bag and prevent the following.

-Single-use bags are of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and persist on our planet for up to 1,000 years.

-Australians alone consume about 6.9 billion plastic bags each year, 326 per person. According to Australia's Department of Environment, an estimated 49,600,000 annually end up as litter.

-According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. An estimated 12 million barrels of oil is required to make that many plastic bags
-Four out of five grocery bags in the US are now plastic.

-Plastic bags cause over 100,000 sea turtle and other marine animal deaths every year when animals mistake them for food.

-In a dramatic move to stem a tide of 60,000 metric tons of plastic bag and plastic utensil waste per year, Taiwan banned both last year.

-According to the BBC, only 1 in 200 plastic bags in the UK are recycled

-Target, the second-largest retailer in the U.S., purchases 1.8 billion bags a year.

-Windblown plastic bags are so prevalent in Africa that a cottage industry has sprung up harvesting bags and using them to weave hats, and even bags. According to the BBC one group harvests 30,000 per month.

-According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. (Estimated cost to retailers is $4 billion)

-Plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade - breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food web when animals accidentally ingest.

-Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most often found in coastal cleanups, according to the nonprofit Center for Marine Conservation.

Capitol Gorge

2009-04-19T12:58:00.000-07:00

Saturday I drove down to Capitol Reef, here are some pictures from
Capitol Gorge within the park!

exiting capitol gorge

natural water tanks

cool tree

an example of all of the rock layers

This will help you understand how large capitol reef is notice how small the minivan is,
it could easily fit in one of the holes on the left side of the rock wall!

Nerd Love...

2009-04-13T08:59:00.000-07:00

Lets talk about nerd love, nerd love wow, its amazing. When two nerds find one another its like mixing vinegar and baking soda and BAM it goes off! A nerd finding love is like dropping off a Somalian off at Home Town Buffet. Nerds cant take their hands off each other and its quite amusing/gross to watch. Here are some of the signs, one is the dinner date lean across the table, double hand clutch/stare into one another's eyes position. Its amazing like they are in their own little nerd world. Make sure to keep your eyes open as it will be appearing at a restaurant near you. Next there is the across the isle hand holding, coming to a classroom near you! Nerds I hate to break it to you but no one wants your lady friend. Then there is the old church rub down, no one wants to see you give your lady a sensual rub down while brother whoever talks about charity from the pulpit, leave it a home! So Nerds listen up, here is my advice, keep it behind locked doors, no one wants to see it. I have issues with public displays of affection but add some nerd to it and I loose it. So the moral of the story is: Nerd love good, nerd love in public and constantly touching each other MUY MALO!

the wind in my helmet

2009-04-07T22:14:00.000-07:00

So, I saddled up the old steed this evening, threw on some spandex and hit the mean streets for a little ride. As a result I have given myself a new nickname, its "the 16 mile per hour machine" I know its not very impressive for a competitive cyclist like Lance, but none the less not bad for a husky 26 year old, a couple of years out from back surgery. So what I wont be riding in the peloton anytime soon, but consider yourself warned that if you see something whiz by you at a blazing 16mph Its probably going to be me.

Next topic anyone who does not wear a helmet while biking is crazy, nothing says I love the feel of the wind blowing in my hair like your brains scattered across the pavement. Enjoy the visual.

Oh yeah and to the two cool dudes in the really sweet lowered Honda Civic that felt the need to honk several times and yell at me in Springville: I hope you enjoyed your mandate (and I mean non heterosexual mandate) watching the new fast and the furious followed by tribal tattoos or facial piercings, d-bags!

What else is new? The wife is due in 4 weeks, therefore the back room looks like a Babies R Us, which has become the new Target. Let me explain, I wasn't warned that when I got married I would be spending about 5 hours a week at Target or that once my wife became pregnant Target would quickly be replace by Babies R Us, nothing like spending money to buy things that smell like baby powder, which is one of my least favorite smells, i guess I have to lather the babe in Brut or something else.

Moving on, I would like to take this time to formally announce that I, the 16 Mile Per Hour Machine, am the owner of Center Street in Provo, from University Ave to 5th east, this is my street(i feel like the crazy old man in the neighborhood) and if you honk and me while I am pulling in to my driveway you will get the bird and I am not talking about the turkey vultures that have taken up shop on the block, also if you get pulled over for speeding, take it as an invitation to never drive on my street again. Consider yourself warned.
Warm Regards,

The 16 Mile Per Hour Machine

Sunny Days Are Here Again.....

2009-02-20T15:49:00.000-08:00

Provo is experiencing a bit of a transition period right now as it does each year when things start to warm up, and by warm up I mean the temperature rises above 40 degrees. What is this annual transition period you may ask yourself? Well ladies and gentlemen I am here to explain this phenomenon to you. Around late February cool guys start coming out of hibernation, now by hibernation I mean they emerge from their favorite hair and tanning salons, they dust off their totally sick-dope-tight-gnarly-badass crotch rockets and cruise around town showing off their new frosted tips all while hitting on 18 year olds. Come on guys, I am to let you know there are some things that will never be cool, and I know you have been waiting all winter to finally wear you new Ed Hardy flip-flops with your matching hat and your super awesome white stitched jeans with your totally awesome thumb ring, but resit the urge. If you ever get dressed and look at your self and there is any resemblance to Criss Angel or you think he would find you cool, or use the expression "look how Hollywood I am", you should be concerned because chances are you're becoming a douchebag. So cool guys out there that are waking up from your winter slumber just remember this bit of advice, If you, yourself think you are trying to hard, then you are probably past the point of no return. Sorry!

Cool Guys All Hail Your King!

Sure Buddy In N Out....

2009-02-14T20:22:00.000-08:00

Several people have told me an In N Out is being built in Draper UT, I don't care how many people tell me, or what websites it on even if its the official In N Out website. I will believe it when I am sitting in the store eating a #1 animal w/ fries well, till then I don't want to hear about the bastardization of a california original.

Val's Belly

2009-02-07T17:22:00.000-08:00

So when i put my hand on Val's stomach, its crazy, what is going on in there? Well after some research and thought I figured it out. This is what the little dude is doing! Enjoy.

One Lucky Kid

2009-01-29T09:53:00.000-08:00

I found the sweetest kids pedal car online, a handmade 32 roadster. The coolest kid on the block just add this pedal car!

NEATO!

2009-01-28T14:23:00.000-08:00

With the economy down, I thought I would do my part to help. And actually the drop in the economy isn't that bad from an ecology stand point. Its projected people will drive less and by more fuel efficient cars, build fewer house, not travel as much and seek out alternative transportation. Not that bad for this big planet we live on, fewer houses=fewer trees cut down, less driving=less pollution, you see how this is working. The recession is the best thing to happen to the earth in quite some time. Its estimated that the earth will be spared of millions of lbs of CO2 because of the recession, so at least you can breathe easy about something. Check out this website I came across its pretty interesting. Also check out these sweet bikes, alternative transportation, stylish and wallet friendly who could ask for more. And thats all for now folks.

Party People

2009-01-26T20:38:00.000-08:00

Snow Beard
(shout out to Jones for capturing this amazing even)

Its been a while, I can barely remember how to use this thing. Well things are rolling right along, Val and the nino are clocking in at 26 weeks. I have noticed that my saturdays are now lame, why cant college football be year round? College basketball come on really, who cares about seeing Eastern Kentucky play on ESPN. Now that the NFL is about to come to a close, I guess I will go back to having Church be my Sunday Highlight. Also I shaved my beard check out the pictures, but the bad news is I now have to keep the nose hairs trimmed high and tight. Boo!

The last known beard picture!

Check out the profile a good two inches deep of beard off the chin!

And there it is, 4 months of hard work down the drain! (well actually thrown away in the trash because no one wants to clog their sink with beard!)

BEARD UPDATE....

2008-12-19T11:06:00.000-08:00

How do you spell commitment? B-E-A-R-D!

Things I Hate

2008-12-09T07:30:00.000-08:00

Here is a list of things I hate.
1. Family stickers on cars, no matter what you use, sandals, turtles etc... they are all lame! Your stickers make me want to put a birth control sticker on my back window.
2. I hate Pickers, don't dig through the Chex Mix or Trail mix just to get the M&M's or bagel chips, new idea, you touch it you eat it.
3. Personalized license plates, worst idea ever! It is science there is not a cool statement that can be made with the absence of vowels, also license plate holders are not cool especially to the nerd in the civic with the "I wish I was rich instead of just good looking." Wack!
4. Athletic Fit shirts, why does everything need to taper?
5. People that don't use turn signals, and people that ride their brakes on the freeway. Here's an idea take your foot off the gas!
6. Paul Pierce and other pro athletes that fake or play up non injuries.
7. When its cold outside but still sunny!
8. Smart cars, or at least the ones in the USA, do some research on them people, they are not that smart!

More to come later.....

I love hot cheetos....

2008-11-20T17:56:00.000-08:00

So I came across this article on NPR and it reminded me of nasty things I ate in my youth that I thought were delicious. Here is a list in no particular order, feel free to add to this list.1. Hot Cheetos: If there ever was a disgusting snack that was consumed by kiddies from kindergarten to high school by the bagload, it would be Hot Cheetos. I swear I ate them one time and my fingers were stained red for a week. Thanks to the Hoover High Student Store for stocking these little red spicy sticks, that look like devil terds and taste about the same.2. Limon 7 Powder: I thought this stuff was amazing. It is basically lemon flavored salt. I don't know why I ate this stuff; it sucked and was sour and salty and tasted like a gym locker. There is nothing more refreshing on a warm day than lemon salt........Not!
3. Lucas Chili Powder & Paste: The powder was like eating lines of seasoning salt mixed with chili powder and crack. That's how addicting this stuff was. Now for the paste, think of the previous mixed with Jello. They came in these little containers and you could keep them in your pocket and eat when the teacher was not looking. Talk about being parched. I hate that stupid wannabe Dark Wing Duck mascot. This stuff looked like a steak rub mixed with Gorilla Glue.
4. Anything sold by the Ice Cream Man: I would have bought air in a bag from the Ice Cream Man, he was that amazing. I think the music had a hypnotic effect on me. Pink panther and ninja turtle bars were my favorite, and let me tell you I am not sure they were even ice cream, and the gum ball eyes were nasty! Oh I loved the ice cream man, that is until he backed over my friends little sister's bike.....on purpose! I will find you Ice Cream Man!!!!
5. Big Sticks: I don't know why I ate these? Maybe because they sold them at my elementary school for 25cents, other than that the were a sub-par Popsicle if I have ever seen one! Down with the Big Stick!

This week...

2008-11-16T20:38:00.000-08:00

This coming Saturday the Cougs of BYU take on the Utes of Utah. While thinking about the upcoming game I remembered a little white cassette I had back in 1990 thanks to my uncle Stuart, the Tysman rap! That's right folks, check out this little gem. Tysman Rap

Los Deportes...

2008-11-06T19:16:00.000-08:00

I was at the gym tonight (I know hard to believe) when I had several revelations. They are as follows.
1. I need to get some sluttier gym outfits or shirts that don't have sleeves, but I am in a bind as I lost my membership to the cool guy club and stopped frosting my hair about 10 years ago and I need to take more time to prepare for the gym, maybe put on some mascara or some waterproof eyeliner, I hear it makes you workout harder.
2. Soccer players are wimps, I glanced up to see a guy get slide tackled and then lay on the ground for several minutes holding his ankle, the rest of team all reacted like there was a shooting on the field, come on get up and walk it off, you pansy.
3. I hate the people in charge of programing on ESPN, come on was there a less desirable game to watch then VA Tech and Maryland, come on who cares, what are the implications, 4 place in the ACC, Oh wait there was a lamer game on and it was in the basketball department BYU vs. Concordia University, who cares. My questions is, why was the UTAH vs TCU game not on, but then again why would you show a game that has potential BCS buster written all over it? oh and to the Mountain you SUCK!.
4. One last thought, why was Pete Carrol not elected president? He's got my vote!

The Benefits of a Winter Beard....

2008-11-02T21:11:00.000-08:00

2 weeks deep into the winter beard...

1. You always get to ride the lift alone, because everyone thinks you are a pervert or will stink like urine.
2. People randomly give you change in parking lots and gas stations because you look homeless.
3. Insulation and never getting wind chapped.
4. No one other than your wife will kiss you so loyalty is not an issue.
5. You get death threats from your family because Christmas is family picture time.
6. You can pee your pants and no one will say anything.
7. You always have a place to store food for later.
8. No one will ask you for directions because you look crazy.
9. Extra 10 mins a day from not shaving.
10. You look like a young Santa Claus.
11. You hear endless references to Teen Wolf, Castaway and Bob Ross.
12. Talking to yourself is socially acceptable.
13. Your wife always has an excuse to get mad at you.

Its Halloween, tonight marks the 9th year anniversary since I was caught driving my moms van through the streets of Glendale, with some friends throwing eggs at trick-or-treaters. It also marks the anniversary of 9 years since I have been ordered to sit on the curb on Bel Aire in front of Balboa Elementary School by one of Glendale's finest, and the 9 year anniversary since I have thrown an egg. Oh the memories and the stupidity that caused us to get caught.

Since I no longer throw eggs and Hillary and James are in town we decided to make handy use of the dry ice i bought yesterday at the grocery store and make some dry ice bombs, we were 1 0f 4 but it was the biggest one that worked, James and I were giddy in the yard while Hillary was watching through the window, it amazing no one called the cops.

In recent news....Valeri is pregnant! she is about 13 weeks along and going strong, I am just waiting for the day when she looks more pregnant than me.

The old days...

Just to clarify listening to Joni Mitchell does not make me a lesbian.

Someone is not my friend...

2008-10-20T13:09:00.000-07:00

Someone is not my friend and its my head, why was I chosen to have migraines? Come on help a brother out, I would rather have one leg a couple centimeters shorter than the other, or back hair or even red hair, well maybe not that last one but get my drift.

And ps why does gasoline and fabric softener smell so good?

Oh Gingers...

2008-10-07T21:50:00.001-07:00

This news story comes from the continent that brought us the Crocodile Hunter, and its amazing.

ADELAIDE Zoo has dropped an ad campaign offering free visits to all "rangas" to highlight the plight of orang-utans after sensitive redheads complained.

Last week, advertisements ran offering "free Zoo entry for all rangas" during the school holidays.

"Ranga" - an abbreviation of orang-utan - is a common nickname for redheads.

"We seem to be getting quite a bit of a negative reaction to that request," said Zoos SA's director of conservation programs Kevin Evans, The Advertiser reported.

"People are possibly more sensitive about it than we thought," he said.

"We have a campaign over the school holidays because of orang-utans being an endangered species – and so are human redheads," Mr Evans said.

Less than 2 per cent of humans have red hair.

"Because of the way people move around these days, the genes that carry redheads are breeding out to brunettes and blondes," Mr Evans said.

"Eventually it looks like they are going to be extinct as well."

The zoo will continue to offer free entry to people with red hair for the next two weeks to raise awareness about orang-utans being endangered in the wild.

The campaign is timed to coincide with the birthday of the Zoo's male orangutan, Pusung, and will include daily talks about the species.

Dyed red hair will qualify for free entry and zoo staff will not seek proof that patrons are natural redheads.

"We're not actually checking tops and tails, or anything like that," Mr Evans said.

RLS, etc...

2008-10-03T11:23:00.000-07:00

Last night I had to get up quickly after laying down, I was suffering from an anomaly, an anomaly that comes and hits like lightening and is so uncomfortable it drives you crazy. This anomaly is called The Jimmy Legs and last night I had them. I couldn't get comfortable my legs were going crazy, they felt like your hair looks when you wake up. Which brings me to my next point, Seinfeld is one of the greatest shows ever, You can relate every episode to your life. For example I left a sweatshirt at my Val's house when we were dating and my buddies called it a Costanza, you cant take books into the bathroom or they are red flagged, and sometimes your car stinks so bad you don't know who caused it. And on to my next point Kelsey Grammer is not funny at all, talk about a hack, I don't care how many awards he has he sucks and will never be funny he is what Dane Cook is becoming a no talent @$$ clown.

Hey UTARDS

2008-10-02T21:17:00.000-07:00

Hey University of Utah fans how stupid are you? Rushing the field when you beat an unranked team are you serious?

So I think ill rush the field this weekend wearing a Louie Sakoda jersey when #7 BYU beats Utah State (the worst team in Div 1 football).

Dr Matty......

I just wanted to dedicate this picture to my favorite Orthodontist. Dr MDW, I cant wait to have you dig around my mouth.

Lunes Night Futbol, Que?

2008-10-02T08:42:00.000-07:00

So this past Monday night I was watching the Steelers take on the Ravens, as they scanned the crowd I came to the realization that the Steelers are the Raiders of the East! Does anyone else see this?
Mexican Flag:Raiders::Terrible Towel:Steelers <- wont see that one on the SAT but just wanted to put it out there.

Trojans!

2008-09-25T21:24:00.000-07:00

Oh Trojans, Why do you do this to me? Why, Why, Why, Why? Is it to much to ask to run the Pac-10. I want to cry and I don't want to hear it Phil.

2008-09-23T06:43:00.001-07:00

This past week I had the chance to go do some riding at good old lambert park aka the honey hole.Riding the rodeo down, all 8 seconds of bucking craziness and the lefty treats me good, real good!

Do you believe in Karma?

2008-09-21T19:31:00.002-07:00

Congrats to Belichick that jerk on loosing to the Dolphins, the Dolphins who in 2007 went 1-16 they won as many games last year as you lost. Could not have happened to a more class guy.

Best Week Ever........

2008-09-21T19:12:00.000-07:00

This past week was great, let me lay it down for you dudes and dudettes.
Monday: The good old mac decided to take a poop and all was lost on the hard drive, however my testimony of apple was unaffected and I blame the company Seagate those bastages! the only Monday highlight was new episode of the hills.
Tuesday: Biology Test, Then went to go pick up the T 90 after having some work done on it, on the way home my wallet decided to jump out of my pocket and find its way on to the pavement somewhere, then about 1 mile from the casa I ran out of gas, 90 miles to gallon and it cant make it home, grrrrr.
Wednesday: Math Test and the rest is history.
There were some highlights like going out to dinner withe Radman before he moves to San Jose to start counting beans for the man. Good luck Danen and I hope the Miata does you right in the big city.
Also when a good citizen dropped of my wallet at the house, never in my life have I ever wanted to kiss a man and lucky for him I was not at home when he dropped it off.

Easy Riders....

2008-09-09T21:10:00.000-07:00

So two weeks ago I picked up what I thought was a Honda Trail 90, I soon found out this bad little lady was actually the predecessor of the trusty T90. That is right folks I bought myself, I mean my wife (had to convince her to let me buy it some how) a 1965 CT200. Shes in pretty good shape for being 43, I would dare say she is in such good shape that she classifies as a cougar. This will be my winter project pimping this cougar out for the 2nd Annual "Squawha 1000". I thought motorcycle club life would be dangerous and wild, I was expecting Jack Nicholisan to jump on the back of my hog and crusie the mean streets of provo, but sadly such is not the case folks. No brass knuckes, no chains, no pipes or even switch blades. The little lady, Ill call her Demi in honor of another famous cougar.
Stay tuned, more pcitures coming soon of the other hog.

John Howard Griffin Anyone?

Does anyone else notice the similarities between Romeo Crennel and Mr Belvedere .

Retro Red Rooster.....

2008-09-03T20:10:00.001-07:00

So here is my latest purchase off of Ebay, a good old retro 70's red metal-flake motorcycle helmet. It is so rad and old school, and apparently I am not the only sexy guy with a sweet helmet like this. Señor Pitt & Señor Hawley

Notice the Resemblance

First a helmet and next its a bunch of international Orphans, too bad I cant get those on Ebay.

Old Man Winter, Seriously?

2008-09-02T05:28:00.000-07:00

Where has the summer gone? This morning it was 45 degrees on my drive to work. What is going on? September is supposed to be one of the warmest months of the year ( a shout out to global warming) but such is not the case today. I despise this time of year, its like I am a 13 year old girl and my body is going through changes for the first time, adjusting to the cold. I swear I am never comfortable. Once i get used to the cold it starts to heat up and once I get used to the heat it gets cold again. Its like a never ending cycle of pain, If I could only live in a biodome, a cool 73 degrees all year long............

A Three Hour Tour..........

2008-09-01T18:31:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday I took a little drive to Antelope Island, to take some people for a dip in the great Salt Lake, when we arrived there were 60mph wind gust blowing off the lake across the beach. When we came out of the car it felt like my legs were being sandblasted, it was ridiculous. It was like exfoliation on speed. After about 5 minutes of pain we called it a day. Later that night I found sand in places I never knew existed, after two showers there is still sand in my hair. Bottom line I would be a lousy Camel.

The Boys Are Back In TOWN!

2008-08-24T13:48:00.000-07:00

What do you call 13 Californians and 1 Hawaiian vs the country of Hungary? The Mens Olympic Water Polo gold medal match. A hat off to the boys in blue who were ranked number 9 in the world coming in to the Olympics who beat the number 1 Serbia to get to the Gold medal match. A shout out to the man with the perfect male body as displayed at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Terry Schroder the coach of team USA for turning things around and bringing home a medal. The Mens Water Polo team that has been absent from the podium for 20 years since Since Terry was on the team back in 84 and 88. Good Job guys for bringing home the silver! Go California.USA team capitan Tony Azevedo

Those Silly Spaniards!!!!!

2008-08-21T09:58:00.001-07:00

In honor of the Olympics the Spanish National Team decided to take this team picture. A shout out to the Chinese , Beijing 2008!

UMMMMM OKAY?

2008-08-17T20:21:00.001-07:00

What is it about a Frisbee? Do these magical pieces of plastic hold super powers? After books like, Its Not About The Bike by Lance Armstrong I had given up on the magical power of inanimate objects and their ability to transform everyday man in to a top level athlete, but then I witnessed Ultimate Frisbee or "ultimate" as the nerds call it. What is it about a 25 cent piece of plastic that can turn the most hardcore of nerds into a top level athlete (in no way am i implying that ultimate Frisbee is a sport, that's a different can of worms) or give a pot-smoking, patchouli stinking hippie meaning in life. I am at a loss for words, when did the Frisbee make the jump from the favorite beach toy of speedo clad tourists to an object of worship for the every day nerd. Did you know that in the Silicone Valley each computer programing company has their own Ultimate Frisbee team and they have a league they compete in, wow whats next a calculator tetris league or who can get winded the fastest going up the stairs league. So guys leave the Frisbees to the guy with the dog that performs at NBA half time shows.

Oh Jeans!

2008-08-17T17:32:00.000-07:00

So am I the only person that has watched the gayfication of jeans? No longer are they called jeans but denim? Really, people they are Jeans, you cant polish a turd.
What has happened, has there been a contest on how much a company can place on the rear pocket of a pair of jeans. If the Sistine Chapel Mural is on your jean pockets it time to take a good long hard look and yourself in the mirror and ask someone to punch you in the face. I am confused these days some of the mens jeans look like they walked right out of Liberace's closet. I heard California is actually going to start not issuing drivers license cards anymore but stitching your pictures and identification information on your jean, I mean Denim pockets.

THIS JUST IN!

2008-08-11T11:37:00.000-07:00

THE JONAS BROTHERS ARE GAY!

You Can Find Anything on the Internet...Thanks Al Gore

2008-08-04T22:17:00.000-07:00

So today I took a trip down memory lane when I found the super sweet Blu Blocker rap. I can remember seeing this on infomercials as a kid growing up and constantly lusting for a pair of Blu Blockers each time we drove by a truck selling them for 5 bucks along side the street near Forest Lawn and Barham. Oh I wanted a pair so bad, I thought they were magical! Well here it is Dr Geek and his Blu Blocker rap.

Tittle 9?

2008-08-02T22:21:00.000-07:00

Come on ESPN did you really need to introduce women's motocross this year to the X-games. Apparently seeing lesbians compete every 4 years at the Olympics wasn't enough.

BOZO OF THE MONTH

2008-07-27T20:20:00.000-07:00

The bozo of this month award goes out to UFC Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who decided to get in a chase with police, hit and run 4 different cars and drive on to the sidewalk almost hitting tons of people. So the moral of the story is if you are going to get into a car chase don't drive a giant inconspicuous truck with a life size picture of yourself on it. Who says repeated hits to the head don't effect your judgement.

Ridin' Dirty

2008-07-26T17:59:00.000-07:00

The mountain biking was amazing this morning, I hit up the Ridge Trail at the top of the Alpine Loop, this morning around 8am. It was nice and cool and who doesn't love mountain biking at a mere 8000 ft elevation. The trail was dusty and there were tons of roots, rocks and soft dusty spots. I came around one turn to find two of the guys I was riding with tangled up, when they stood up both were covered with dirt and I mean covered with dirt. In their mouths, ears and noses. Luckily the only dirt I ended up with was on my legs, and folks no those are not tan lines those are the dirt lines from my mountain biking shoes. Something about getting dirty and rad at the same time is amazing. Enjoy the dirt rings.

Mighty Dapper Dan, Dont Ya Think?

2008-07-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

Question?

2008-07-22T10:18:00.001-07:00

Why do Mexicans love Chevy Astro Vans so much? There is even a Chevy Astro Van converted to an ice cream truck that rolls around! Why? Does anyone Know?

Catchy Slogans!

2008-07-12T22:10:00.000-07:00

There have been some great slogans over the pasts years.
-"JUST DO IT"
-"I LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR ME, TOYOTA"
-"DO YOU LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I BOUGHT IT AT ROSS"

I have found the next great slogan, to find it you must watch this video!

Truly an extraordinary nutsack!

disclaimer. if you listen very closely you will hear the true slogan: nut snack, however i must say nutsack is catchier.

So You Think Youre Tough

2008-06-25T20:30:00.000-07:00

The age old questions what makes you a tough guy? I submit the measure of a man is how may 5 year olds you can take in a fight. The rules are as follows.

You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court
There are no weapons or foreign objects
Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin)
The children are merciless and will show no fear
If a child is knocked unconscious, he is "out." The same goes for you.

A California Howdy

2008-06-12T16:51:00.000-07:00

So today while riding my bicycle, I was forced to dig into my artillery of rude gestures and give a guy the one finger solute in honor of his stellar driving skills. Hey Prius guy who thought you could cut me off, you suck and I hope your batteries corrode rendering your hybrid useless.....Here's a painting of today's interaction, well not really because i am not a Victorian woman, but i don wear hats sometimes and think mint juleps sound delicious.

Its a me....a Mario!

2008-05-14T20:47:00.000-07:00

The Stache is coming in well, its starting to flip up thanks to some really sweet wax I ordered off Ebay, What you cant find moustache wax in Provo......who would have thought. Sexy I know!

New Embarassing Hobby.....

2008-05-05T19:19:00.000-07:00

So me and the wife have many guilty pleasures, one of them just happens to be watching NEXT on MTV. Its a dating show where there are 5 people trying to date one person. As they come off the bus the dater can say "Next" and a different person will then come off. So its pretty much makes for some hilarious moments. Well a new season has started and so has a new hobby, it involves mocking each contestant as they come off the buss. Today a girl that looks like a Muppet made an appearance as did a Klingon named Adrianne. Wow my life has come to this.......amazing

Booze!

2008-04-29T20:08:00.001-07:00

Am I only person in the world that thinks Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz looks like a Catfish on Roids?

Confessions of a Moustache

2008-04-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

I have been growing a moustache for the past month and a half and little did I know I would learn and enjoy it so much.

1. I now know how a voluptuous woman fells, as I have often caught people staring at my moustache, one clerk at a store was not even listening to me while I was asking my questions as he fixated at my upper lip.

2. Men think its awesome and women think its nasty.

3. The other day I watched a little girl about 9 years old walk by me and stare at my moustache, she was looking at it like it was wild animal, her focus was so strong in fact that she walked right into a wall.

4. Older women love it, and I am not just talking about my wife Valeri.

5. People actually envy the super power that enables one to grow a sweet moustache.

6. It makes me look 10 years older and 10 years creepier.

7. People have a hard time taking your serious if you have a moustache.

Bottom line the moustache rules and I hope in the next month to be able to wax it and resemble Captain Hook or Salvador Dali. Let me know what you think of this bad boy.

The Toughest Little Girl I Know

2008-03-22T05:53:00.001-07:00

Its 7am on Staurday morning the 22nd of March and I just partook of my last soda. I have tired this before and failed miserably. However this time is for real (wow that statement makes me feel like a true addict) and I am gonna kick the Juice. I will be updating on my battle and everyone keep me honest on this, its an all our war with Diet Coke.

What I learned Today.

2008-02-28T20:08:00.000-08:00

As Valeri and I sat and ate dinner tonight, I felt like a little school boy as I had learned something new today and wanted so desperately to report it her. Needless to say she was not as amused as I was with the information. This wonderful tidbit came to me today when I was watching animal planet I learned, are you ready....

The Beluga Whale is the only Whale species that does not have fused vertebrae in its neck. It can turn its head, independently of its body.

Amazing! All of the suden the Rafi song, Baby Beluga In The Deep Blue Sea, has new meaning.

I feel as though I have done my duty for the day, passing on this tidbit.

...But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin...

2008-02-28T19:21:00.000-08:00

The infamous words of Dr. Dre ring out and its time for a shout out to Nina's Pizza in Provo. Its on 7th East right next to J Dawgs. Next time you're in Provo and you are hungry stop by Nina's and snag a 14inch slice of pizza. Having never been to New York, Ill have to take the NY Rangers clad owner of Nina's with the NY accent that its a authentic NY Pizza. Indulge your self with a slice and a beverage, you will not be sorry.

Call me Bode.....

2008-02-24T12:16:00.000-08:00

Well it finally happened, last Friday afternoon I went over to the dark side, It was my first day of skiing. Chad Duford took me up to Sundance and let me loose on the back mountain. Lucky for me there was about 6inches of powder to pad my falls. Here is my testimony of skiing, it is so much harder than snowboarding. Yeesh, I was focusing so hard at times if forgot to breath, which only aided my exhaustion. Never have I spent so much time on the mountain on my butt, stomach and in ways I never thought my body could ever bend. I told people to start calling me Bode Miller, not because I was good at skiing but because I skied like a drunk man. In the end I will deem it a success, but will not be starting in any Warren Miller movies anytime soon.

Today was a good day.

2008-02-18T20:40:00.000-08:00

Thats right in the words of Ice Cube, "Today was a good day." It has taken me 1 year to get the ski's Valeri gave me for Christmas mounted. Thanks Autumn Garage. You see my journey started 3 ski shops ago, each of which could not mount my binding because they didn't have the jig, and then I came across autumn garage. My knight in shining armor, I now have a full functioning pair of skis and now I can learn the dark art.

Sir Winston Who?

2008-02-11T19:42:00.000-08:00

It is life long dream of mine to create a quote that will will be published and used throughout the world long after I am gone, I know this is very nerdy but how cool would it be quoted in book! So move over Sir Winston Churchill and make way for Morgan M Hawley. Here it is.

"If Thomas Edison had given up and waited for the light bulb to invent him, we would still be sitting in the dark today." -Morgan M. Hawley (1983-Present)

A special shout out goes to Erica for committing to use my quote in her Sunday School lesson this next week! Holler!

Not only do we both have famous quotes about not giving up
but we are also both USC fans.
A coincidence? I think Not.

The List.......

2008-02-08T12:27:00.000-08:00

High School:
Trampoline accident: Cracked Growth Plate in my wrist.
Skateboarding: Torn ligaments and a small fracture = cast a crutches

Putting in Work!

2008-02-03T20:36:00.001-08:00

A shout out to Valeri for the greatest birthday present ever! A Blackburn Track Stand Ultra bike trainer. Now I can ride my little (huge) thighs off all winter. Thanks Val!

The Bandwagon Has Been Derailed!

2008-02-03T20:22:00.000-08:00

The chase for the perfect season has been cut short by the perfect upset! That's right folks the New England Patriots, this years NFL equivalent of the New York Yankees lost the Super Bowl. What are the thousands of bandwagon fans going to do now, perhaps wait around until next season for another team to have a winning streak that they can align with. Boston It could have been an amazing year for you sportswise, but now all I have to say is can we have all of our Sports Illustrated covers back that we wasted on you!

Oh Yeah New England here is something that could have helped you earlier today!

Geronimo Look Out Below!

2008-02-01T18:24:00.000-08:00

Here come the raddest ski/snowboard accessory since the mohawk. Feast your eyes on these bad boys and contrary to popular belief they are for dudes!Amazing! A shout out to my hombre J-Pizzle because I know he will agree with me concerning pink hand accessories.

Man Down!

2008-02-01T17:48:00.000-08:00

First there Karl G. Mazer, then Lavell Edwards, then Asian Eddie and the last BYU fixture to retire his Provo All-Star status was Michael Lau aka the Van Wilder of Provo (minus the golf cart, vulgarity and Indian apprentice). Oh Mike Lau, here is my ode to you...You introduced me to my wife, we learned how to slack line together in the Bav Parking lot thanks to the beast, you caught me on my first lead climb when I ate crap on Mr Numbers, you suffered with me when our text books were stolen, we went on many an adventure like the trip to Cali, you taught me how to throw water balloons at the 40 year old dude in the Bav, you introduced me to the wonderful world of Subarus, you rocked the speedos with me in the hot tub, and many more. Thanks for the memories, I thought I was over my yellow fever until i met you my half Asian buddy, much love.

All Star Team!

Tonight Valeri is putting together her Murder She Wrote Puzzle that she got for Christmas (thanks Connie). As watch watch her meticulously sort the pieces in different bowls according to color, I realize my wife would be the star of the old folks home! She can crank out puzzles like none other and her favorite shows are Murder She Wrote and Matlock, all she is missing is Perry Mason to complete the trifecta. So as I sit here watching my wife put together her puzzle while watching Murder She Wrote on TV I wounder how long until she wants to start eating at Sizzler every night, collecting cats, and start knitting in her spare time.

The Big 25

So this past Sunday was my birthday, normally I would say that Sunday birthdays stink but such was not the case on January 27th, 2008. You see I was able to do things that normally I would get in trouble for, such as taking 3 naps in one day and watching all of the random shows I recorded on the DVR. How lucky am I to have such a great wife that will baby me on my birthday and buy me such a rad non-cake cake, made of sugar cookies.

Hot Dogs 101

2008-01-25T18:01:00.000-08:00

After weeks of stewing and trips to Costco I have finalized the Rules of Hot Dogs.
Hot Dogs are ONLY to be eaten in the following places.
1.Sporting events: It is sac-religious to not eat a Dodger Dog at Dodger Stadium with all the fixings, Get my drift!
2.Camping: Roast up some dogs around the campfire on sticks, bent coat hangers or whatever. Random beef and pig parts never tasted so good.
3.Costco: Nothing like a 1/4lb polish sausage to bring a trip to the great superstore to a climax and nothing will keep your wife away like 1/4lb polish sausage burps.

Get Your Mac On.....

2008-01-14T18:47:00.000-08:00

Yeppers folks, that's right, tomorrow is going to be a great day and that is because it is Macworld 2008. A wonderful celebration Mac nerds look forward to every year. Last year the iphone was introduced and after several hours of reading potential spoilers it seems as though good old Mr Jobs is going to be releasing a new ultra thin laptop with an all flash memory hard drive(freaking sweet). I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight because I know tomorrow morning I will be getting my Mac on!
