We All Get Older, We Don't All Get Grown.

SD Represent! I just wanted to note that myself and some friends dominated an Invisible Children Dodge Ball Tourney in the early stages of their movement. I take a lot of credit for that victory, but we also did have a current NBA player(Jared Dudley) on our team. We ended up winning an Apple Computer and donated it back to them...i'm sure they can buy quite a few computers now!


Here's the story:
"Facebook users selected San Diego-based charity Invisible Children to receive the top award of a $1 million grant from Chase in the final round of Chase Community Giving, a popular corporate philanthropy program on the social networking Web site.
More than 2 million Facebook users participated in Chase's online voting program.
Invisible Children works with the support of U.S. high school and college students to advocate for the rescue of children in central Africa who have been kidnapped from their homes and forced to serve as soldiers in a civil war in Uganda. More than 30,000 children have been abducted to become both the weapons and the victims of this tragic war. The organization, which will use the funding to build African schools and microeconomic programs as well as raise awareness in North America, received 123,990 votes in the program's second round.
To celebrate the victory, the nonprofit held an event Wednesday morning at Invisible Children Headquarters in downtown San Diego."

This probably means nothing to most people, but to those that it does, here's the story: http://mashable.com/2010/01/05/nba-jam-nintendo-wii/

So Excited I bought a Wii now!

Facebook is getting a little ridiculous with these "suggestions":

So, I used to have a pretty big celebrity crush on Kelly Ripa when she first started on Live with Regis and Kelly back in 2001. Obviously I thought she was really pretty, but what set her apart from the rest was that she would actually make me laugh. And not just every once in awhile, but regularly make me laugh.

I started a new blog! Don't worry, I'm still going to post on this one just as much as before(not enough), but I just wanted to start a new one that has a little bit of a different theme. You can read more about why I separated the two in my FIRST ENTRY. If you'd like to follow my posts, just like on this one, please feel free to comment on anything that I write :)



New Blog: The Gospel According to Brandon

Well, this year's Thanksgiving was a first for me. My Mom worked hard on a Turkey as well as a honey baked ham. And oh wow, did they look delicious...although I don't know how they actually tasted. You see, i'm in the 2nd month of being a pescatarian and it just so happens that the Thanksgiving tradition is Turkey and Stufffing, not Mahi Mahi and Stuffing. This was the first time that I can remember not eating meat on this holiday or any holiday for that matter.

Yeah, it was different, but not really a big deal at all. I mean, its not like I went hungry this year while the rest of my family gorged. In fact, there was a great deal of support from my family that I wasn't really expecting. I went into this year, just wanting to play my vegetarianism down and keep it low key because like i've said in a previous blog, I still have no defining reason why I haven't eaten any meat for 2 months now. I'm seriously beginning to believe that I may just be masochistic. But anyways, I would've been happy if the fact that I wasn't eating turkey wasn't mentioned at all. Obviously my family knew, but that turned out to be a really cool thing. My Aunt Cathy made a smoked salmon mix on belgian endive leaves and one of my favorites, Ahi & Avocado Tartare on wonton crisps. And my mom still made all of the usual, delicious sides and even made me dressing instead of stuffing. What's the difference you ask? Well, according to an episode of Unwrapped on the Food Network, the difference between the two is that Stuffing is actually stuffed and cooked in the turkey and Dressing is cooked as a dish by itself. One thing that wasn't new to me this year: I ate too much.

All in all, I had a great Thanksgiving weekend and am most thankful for the family I've been blessed with.

Whenever people say stuff like, "I have the best husband(wife) ever!", I think that others who are married should be a little offended by that. I mean think about it, they are basically saying to you that my husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend is much better than yours because he did something he should've done in the first place, like put the toilet seat down. Come on people! I really expect to see some arguments via facebook status' because of claims like these.

I'm not saying I won't be bold enough to claim my wife is better than yours, when I get married. But that is solely because of the fact that she will be the best wife ever, because she was clearly smart enough have chosen me. In the meantime, all you current married couples can enjoy claiming that your spouse is the best spouse ever, but just know when the day comes that I get hitched, your false reign comes to an end! And if you decide to challenge my best husband-ness, you better have stats and evidence to back it up!
