3com: connected - signal strength: good day

i had a crazy uprising in brainwaves today. and yesterday. and none of it was focused on anything relevant or necessary to living in NZ. there was a lot about ping pong.. and a lot about tattoos... and a crap load of remorse for losing a sock wrestling match.. (nick johnson.. the bc bested me with his largeness... it was fun but i want to win!) but i beat lucas again, and it was a fight and a half.. a solid bout of head smashing into the ground and pretzel legs. it was our second fight of which i won again.. but really its cuz i'm super long compared to him. he's a good battler. i beat kristen as well but that was nights ago.. i think sock wrestling has taken over our gaming passion from mafia. instead of arguing, we just give each other massive rug-burns that scab then get ripped off again when we wrestle again. this is the good life. and pingpong. so pretty much my thoughts are exactly what i proclaimed them not to be about. living in NZ... necessary AND relevant. its holy spirit week this week as well.... good things to come i am sure. i'm almost done the mural in the prayer room... mebe i'll even give up a few megabytes and upload a pic for you to see. (but mebe i'll just wait for fiji then give you 14 facebook albums to look through muhahahhaa. i can wait three weeks. can you? you don't even have a choice.)

(bows and runs away whilst taking his pants off in preparation for getting sweatpants back on but realizes this is a crude gesture and raises his pants back up but not for you just for him as he confirms in his head that his only pair of sweatpants have been sullied by blood spots from his sock wrestling rug-burns... sadly he stops running and walks humbly into the bathroom where surely he considers pooping but decides then to just pee.)

  1. ok...here are my random thoughts...
    TMI in that last paragraph!!!!! Filter, filter, filter young man! On the other hand, you make me laugh and cringe at the same time. Sullied???? I have to look that word up...sock wrestling??? I'm trying to imagaine-I can see you wrestling, but what does a sock have to add? Sounds like you're keeping score? You won't stop until you beat Nick at least once I'm guessing, scars and all! I think pingpong is alittle safer, but whatever! I'm anxious to see the mural! We really DON"T have a choice on when we get to see your pictures, hurumph!!! I DO love and miss you! I'll write more "old school" style! Have a great Holy Spirit Week! Don't get swine flu, which may have come to your island! Mom

  2. Sock Wrestling: A battle to take off the other persons socks? First one sockless loses? Good guess or something else?

    Let me know.

    PS. I'm living in a box this week. Well, a house made out of boxes and tape and string and a tarp... And Shane Claiborne was here to speak, and to chill with us in our box community. Oh sweet justice. One night down, we survived a big rain, so high fives for that.

    Love.

  3. Eric, Shane chilled with you in your box hooverville? UGH. Taylor should've had social justice week may 4th-8th like it was originally supposed to be, and then I could have gone! I am so holy-jealous.

    Wait, this is Tyler's blog, so... Hi Tyler! I've never sock-wrestled before, but I have shoe-wrestled & I think it's the greatest thing ever.
