"Super America Dragon, Please"

Few people know of the visceral love, Half Pint (chellor) and I have for amazing sushi. Throughout all of our travels, coast to coast, we've been known to visit a few sushi restaurants. Believe it or not one of the best places we've found and absolutely love just happens to be located in, chemically induced, Happy Valley. In fact, after returning from a recent vacation, we had to rush straight from the airport to our super secretive sushi sanctuary we missed so much. So it was no surprise to me that as soon as Chels flew in Saturday night she was craving raw fish. She might tell you I called her earlier in the week begging to go, but that is simply untrue... kinda.

We meet up with a few of our sushi addicted friends, and Schoney- the Ethiopian. The night was a real blast, and a ton of fun to catch up with some amazing people. Chellor is always able to talk the chief into making her "special" rolls. The chief, who by the way does not speak the best English and shouts "please" after everything he says, seems to understands Chellor's womanly wilds just fine. This time he made her a"Super American Dragon" (not on the menu). It was the biggest roll I had ever seen. Typically I don't mind guys trying to flirt with Chels cause, A: I don't blame them, she's pretty dang hot, and B: I just stare'em down. But this dude has a huge knife! I don't speak an ounce of mandarin but when I tried staring him down, he gave me a look like he was gonna to cut me, and I understood him just fine.

He really does love me!

I would like everyone to know that Pops held true to his plans. I walked into his very clean apt., sat on the couch and within 30 seconds there was a cold diet coke, my own pack of peanut M&Ms, and even a picture of... yes... JASON STATHOM. (now of course I'll have to watch him in action in The Transporter. You all know the scene with him rolling around in the grease then using the bike pedals for balance, stability and to kick the big overbearing guy's butt..... mmmm) Oh what was i saying... :)

For real though he even did the head bob scoot across the floor dance for me! of course I thought he was sick from our sushi dinner, but it was sweet all the same. I've missed him all week long and he really made my coming home special. Love ya babesa

It's business, it's business time!

Chellor is coming home! Honestly, it's about dang time. For me, it's nothing short of a miracle that I'm able to survive the entire week when she leaves me here to fend for myself. Although I am truly amazed at what I'm able to learn about myself while she's gone. For example, I've learned my jokes don't seem to be as funny when she's not around. Not that she always laughs at my jokes, but I miss her having to roll her eyes, and under her breath, mumble "Oh, brother". I have also learned that I depend on Chels for my sense of fashion. I have found that it's embarrassing when I arrive at work to have my co-workers comment,"Are you wearing your little brother's shirt?", or "COOL,I didn't know they even still made Jenco pants". Needless to say, but I'm Über excited that she's coming home today.


After watching this story on the Golden-fronted Bowerbird, I came up with a view ideas of my own to impress Chellor when she returns.

• First- Clean my apartment: It's incredible what my Orrick, and a little Pledge can do to spruce up the place.
  
• Second-Stock my apartment with all of her favorite things: M&Ms, Diet coke, Stephenie Meyer "trash novels", and at least one picture of Jason Statham.
  
• Third- Practice my dance moves and get ready to strut my stuff. This one is going to be a little tougher. One of the other things I have learned about myself while she's been gone, is a man of my caliber (size) should NEVER, EVER shimmy, it always turns out looking like a truffle shuffle. Also since I think the Haka might scared her off, this leaves me very few options. So I have decided to work on my incredible moonwalking skills before for she gets back.

I'll let you know how it all turns out. Welcome home Chellor, I missed you!

It's taken nearly 5 years!

Well, Chellor and I have finally decided to make the plunge and take our relationship to the next level. I know many of you have been hoping for this. Others have been telling us just to do and get it over with cause it's going to happen eventually. We just never wanted to rush in to it, and thought we would take our time. Chellor and I have decided to make the big commitment to finally get our very own blog. We've talked about it for a long time now and we just felt the timing was right.

It's funny how many times I have been asked "Do you have a Blog?", or "Do you Blog?". I was offended at first when people would ask, and I thought "It's none of your business". But when I realized that a "Blog" meant an online journal and it was not something I thought I had remembered from my 8th grade anatomy test, I was a little relieved and plenty embarrassed all at the same time. Even though I still believe "blog" is the ugliest word in the English language, we're stoked to be able to share the stories of our "epic" dates, amazing adventures, and our ultra busy lives with a lot of amazing people we get to call friends. Hope you enjoy the blog as we continue to update it and post more.
