I know you're wondering why I haven't written in quite some time. I have a few reasons:
My computer crashed last week and I got to talk with Dell support for 4 hours trying to recover my documents, pictures, and music. Pretty awesome. Apparently if you're not covered by a warranty anymore, Dell support guy Mac is forced to be really rude to you and let you know that he's helping you out of the goodness of his heart not because he has to. Thanks Mac... I'm so sorry I troubled you. I know you had better things to do like sit at your desk and answer the phone and help people who had warranties. I know thats a lot more fun than helping losers like me. However, Dell guy Jeremiah was actually really helpful and nice, so at least there's some good people out there at Dell. After running some test on my hard drive and seeing multiple error messages, I think I'm gonna have to get a new computer (hopefully a Mac... despite the fact that the name of the computer is the same as that of my "friendly" Dell guy), which is great considering I haven't even started working yet and have little money. Oh well.
I also got to hang out with Josh Sizemore this past week. He's pretty incredible. Claimed as being the best out of all the Sizemores by his siblings, Josh lived up to his reputation. He helped me write a song. I like it.
We were finally able to record some songs for Dwight last week, which is always fun. We recorded about 13 songs in 2 1/2 hours (granted, some were only about 30 seconds long). Dwight said he wet his pants when he got it. Chuck Hooten helped us record it, and I was reminded how great he is. One of the most talented people I know. You should get his cd on iTunes.
I went to a wedding in Huntsville this past weekend, too. It was a friend of mine from high school, so I got to see a bunch of my old friends which is always good. I also got to see my grandparents, which was definitely the best part of the trip. They're incredible. I wish everyone could meet them.
I'm heading to ATL tonight to train for my new job with Booster Enterprises for the next two days. It should be pretty fun. I feel like I'm about to get a lot more busy in the next couple weeks. AI auditions are still scheduled for Aug. 14th, and work starts Aug. 9th, and I have another wedding on Aug. 11th in Knoxville, TN. Oprah hates kids. I just saw her interact with a guest's kids on her show, and she didn't even get near them. Jesus loved children. Oprah should learn something from that. Oh... and Kathy Griffin says some horrible stuff, but she is one of the funniest women I've ever seen. I laughed out loud multiple times while watching her extremely inappropriate show. You should try to find the episode where she tries to be the red-headed Oprah. So funny. Ok. Thanks for stopping by.
Reminding you to back-up your computer documents and pictures,

Here is one of Robby drinking grits through a straw at Cracker Barrel today...its really not too exciting. I just like how easy it is to put up completely ridiculous stuff these days...

Whenever me and my brother are together, one of our favorite things to so is watch ridiculous videos, movies, tv shows (and do Mad Libs) and laugh until we cry. Everything is so much funnier when we are together. So anyways, we have been watching Flight of the Conchords and the video below is so great. It basically consists of Jemaine trying to cheer up Bret because someone told him he was little.

We haven't posted in a while. this has been a good lesson on how hard it is to be consistent.
We finally got to record some more this week and that was pretty exciting. Dwight, hope you like it. We may post a song or two if we can figure out an easy way to do so...
Ok, so Mad Libs are about the most ridiculous thing in the world. My brother, Robby and I went through about ten of them last night and they really brought out the adolescent in all of us. After you do one or two, it quits being funny unless you start to get really crude. Then it starts to be funny again. I just wish they weren't so inappropriate and we could post some of them.

I wrote a complete song the other day. I'm pretty excited about it, too. I've never actually completed a song, so it's kind of a big deal. We'll see how it turns out once we record it. The tentative title is "Chances Are." Solid, right?
In other news... I bought a gerbil. How miserable would that be if it were true? Why would someone buy a gerbil? They smell awful and poop and pee on you. Sometimes they'll even bite you, and you're forced to spank them with a tiny wooden spoon. I did have a hamster one time named Peanut. He was the color and shape of a little peanut, so I think it was a pretty appropriate name. We probably should have named him "Chew Toy" because thats what he turned into one time when he escaped from his cage. My little dog whipped that thing all over the place and threw it against the wall before we were finally able to rescue it. I think he learned his lesson about staying in the cage after that. Rags, our dog, was probably spanked with a rolled-up newspaper which could have led to the loss of most of his teeth, his terrible case of scoliosis, some crazy skin disease, and cataract infested eyes. I'm still claiming all of those things came with old age, though. He was beautiful. Peanut died a while after the attack by Rags. It wasn't the attack that killed him, though, we think it was an unfortunate choking incident involving carrots. I told mom we needed to buy more seed for him to eat, but we just never got around to it. Seed really isn't even that expensive, but I guess Peanut just wasn't worth the price. We had a few other animals in the Stone household, and we loved them dearly. I'll have to write about them later. I regret to say that the list of pets includes a few cats. I still claim that they are the gayest animals ever, though.
Because you too can prevent hamster deaths,

I was just sitting here thinking about life and I realized that I turn 25 tomorrow. what a disaster. 25. a quarter of a century. that is one of the most depressing thoughts ever. I really need to start accomplishing something noteworthy. At least that's my initial reaction...don't even know how I feel about that innate need to prove my self-worth. Life is so interesting...
Me and Robby talked to Dwight for 58 minutes yesterday. It was pretty great. He is really far away though.
Our internet is out so that's why there were no posts yesterday. I'm too depressed to try and be funny right now.

I played laser tag for 2 hours yesterday (yes... I'm a 12 year old). It was with the company I'm going to work for this coming year, Booster Enterprises, and it was actually a lot of fun. What was not fun was the shooting pain in my left elbow following this 2 hour adventure. I probably hit it on a wall or something and didn't even realize it due to the high amounts of adrenaline rushing through my body as I was stalked by members of the opposing team in a dark, techno blasting, black light room. Yeah... you want to play now, don't you? I'm not surprised. Just beware of the black hole in the far right corner of the complex. We lost a few employees in it, and I don't imagine we'll ever see them again. The last thing heard by one of those standing nearby was "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips!" Not sure what he was getting at, but what a statement to leave this earth with, right?
Still feelin' that techno beat,
Robby
