Hello

2007-08-02T01:39:00.000-04:00

I think maybe I'll start blogging again every so often. I thought about holding out a couple weeks to have a nice year gap between now and a couple inches ago. I'm having a good summer. Playing guitar a lot, mostly I should say. If you want to hear what I'm playing go hear, I mean here. I'm also listening to a lot of music thanks to an iPod and a growing collection of CD's(thanks Aaron). That's about it.

Bye

THE MOUSTACHE!

2006-08-24T15:58:00.000-04:00

Hi there. Yes I am still here. I just haven't been here for a while. What I mean to say is it has been a very long time since I have posted. Well I have a good reason or two to be posting.

Reason #1. THE MOUSTACHE SHOW.
It is our latest mini-series. It stars The wierd little French guy and frequently has special guests from exotic places with exotic hairstyles. By the way it is a hairstyling show, or at least a Moustache styling show. I think it's hilarious. There is only one episode up so far but more are coming soon. Check it out. www.themoustachshow.com

Reason #2. _______
I forgot what I was going to say. It must not be important anyway

So my blogging audience, until next time, or next year, or something, goodbye.

I'm Back

2006-04-14T23:31:00.000-04:00

I'm already back and I'll bet that most of you out there didn't even know I was gone. But I was gone somewhere i'm not and am back somewhere I am. Anyway I was visiting North and South Carolina to see my grandparents and sister at college (my sister is at college not the grandparents). We had a great time with Gramy and Grandpa rollicking around the farm, fishing, shooting skeet, rummaging through the local Goodwill, eating (obviously), playing farmball. Farmball vaguely resembles basketball. But there was sadness. The golfcart died half way through the week. It had to happen in the middle of the woods too. But the noble machine had a good life and many miles going full boar around the farm (teardrop). I'm almost surprised the crazy thing ran as long as it did with all the ramming into trees, brick walls, other various obstacles and almost getting dumped in the pond more times than you can count. Then we piled back into the car with what seemed like a lot more stuff than we came with, remember what I said about Goodwill, but everything made it in, and headed for South Carolina. Stopping at the outlets to look for more bargains. But we eventually arrived at Mimi and Big Daddy's house. We went to the Living Gallery at Bob Jones University. That was very good. We woke up at some insane hour, around 7:00 I think, piled into the car for the last time with all sorts of vagabonds that managed to aquire themselves to us during the week, and set of for the long trip back home which was basically uneventful. We got home and had the weirdest unpacking job ever. Somehow almost everything was in plastic bags thrown in the back.
I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.

Welcome to the world Gwendolyn

Today at 2:10 PM Gwendolyn Daisy Greene was born to my brother and sister-in-law, Josh and Nichole. This means that I'm an uncle for the fifth time. Big sister Chloe liked the idea of having a baby sister right away, but it took Sorren a while to warm up to the idea. He wanted a baby brother. When we went to see her he decided baby sisters weren't to bad. This also means it is the first Greene family to have two girls in a row for at least three generations.

Here's the proud father with his newest daughter.

and here's Gwendolyn Daisy.

This is just weird

Yesterday morning I rolled out of bed and headed downstairs to read the newspaper. I was looking for the sports page but I glanced over the headline to see the "Big News". What I saw almost made me cry and laugh at the same time. The "Big News" was ,"TRAILER BURNS 29 CATS DIE". What a tragedy. And I thought having three or four cats in one house was bad. Reading further I found that one cat survived the blaze. I've been crunching the numbers and I figured out that if 29 cats died and 1 survived that equals 30 cats in one trailor. That is way too many! I'm still trying to figure out why it was the lead story in the newspaper, but I guess that's big news in Hicktown, PA.

And all through the house
Every person was dieting

slumber parties are not meant for sleeping

2005-10-30T21:27:00.000-05:00

Since the basketball season is almost here we decided to have a party. but not just any ordinary party. about 6:30 P.M. the guests arrived, some guys from the team and the assistant coach(he's actually the assistant of the assistant but let that go). they came over to watch basketball movies, in bulk. we started with Michael Jordan, come fly with me, an all time classic. then in succession, Michael Jordan to the MAX, Greatest finals moments of all time, Pistol Pete, Dazzling Dunks and Basketball Bloopers 1. , Dazzling Dunks and Basketball Bloopers 2. , Like Mike and finally Wallace and Gromit, A Close Shave, don't ask what Wallace and Gromit have to do with basketball. after five pizzas, four bags of popcorn, cake, ice cream and ten liters of soda, we were pretty wired or juiced as my friend scraper(nickname). you might wonder how long it takes to eat drink and what that much stuff, about eleven hours. we started at 6:45 P.M. do the math and we went to sleep at about 5:45 A.M. of course not all of us made it that long. the assistant assistant coach left at about 2:30 which wasn't to bad considering he woke up at quarter of three the morning before. they dropped off about one an hour until it was the devoted four. the next morning we woke up at about 11:00 and went down to the park and played basketball about two and a half hours. all in all it was a pretty fun night.

family

2005-10-12T21:49:00.000-04:00

I come from a big family. i've got four brothers and a sister. usually on thanksgiving we all pack up and head to "grandpa's farm". it seems like there's more relatives every year. on a good year there will be about twenty-five of us. fortunatly there's a lot a room to move around, outside. inside it's bedlum. with that many people in the same house it gets pretty claustrophobic. i spend a lot of time outside during thanksgiving. then on thanksgiving day my uncle hauls over his grill for a pig roast. this is no ordinary grill, it's humongous. he puts one pig in it but i think you cook three at a time without much problem. the best part is the "pig pickins" thats when all the men stand around the grill picking of the parts that look juiciest. Sunday on the farm is interesting if you want a shower you have to get up early. we practice "the early bird gets the worm" rule. the church there is small so when the family walks in we double the congregation, literally. there's lots of different nationalities on the farm. you may not think they are different nationalities but trust me they are different. there's some from south carolina, pennsylvania, california, illionois and sometimes hawai'i. we rarely have family reuinions, who needs them when you have thanksgiving.

Christmas isn't quite so hectic. we usually stay home for christmas so at least i get to sleep in my own bed, most of the time. if it gets too crowded i get booted out and sleep on the floor. christmas morning is interesting. we wake up and want to open presents but are supposed to wait until after brunch. brunch is a real "log roller"(don't ask ). for brunch we have a swedish tea ring(it's basically a giant sticky bun in a circle on a big platter). after brunch we want to open presents but waitfor several hours then finally open presents.

One problem about a big family is it's hard to get everybody together at the same. time but over all having a big family is pretty fun.

soccer

2005-10-11T18:09:00.000-04:00

I just got home from practice and i'm dead tired. I really don't like soccer very much but there is only 12 guys on the team so i guess i'm needed. Games aren't to bad, you acually acomplish something, but practice is the pits. We run around in circles to "get in shape" then we do sprints then we shoot for a few minutes then we go home. The season is almost over we have four more games, then we get to have basketball season. I really like basketball. There is no were near the running and way more scoring. Fortunately our team has been winning we are 8-2, so it's not to bad. I have one goal and in the same game every one else on the team scored so it wasn't all that special. Basically i'm trying to live through soccer season so basketball can start.
