Things to ask MWS

Thats Michael W. Smith for all you who are out of the loop (we're pretty sure the W. stands for "Wizard"... not positive yet, though).

So, Jeremiah might be eating breakfast with MWS tomorrow morning. I say "might" because I'm not sure yet if he's being serious with me. We'll see. Anyway, we think it necessary to make a list of the things he needs to ask MWS in the course of their time together. The list is:

"Did the competition between you and Sandi Patti (also Sandy with a "y" Patti for a period) ever wear on you?"

"What kind of whiskey were you drinking when you wrote "Friends are Friends Forever"?"

"Will you come down to Birmingham with me and my friend Robby and eat some french toast at Demitri's?"

"How upset were you when you were told you would not be playing the part of Danny Tanner on the hit show "Full House"?"

"Will you listen to this rough demo of Robby Stone and sign him?"

"How are you handling your success as a rockstar in North Korea, especially since they are currently an enemy of the United States?"

"How do you feel about the major changes taking place in the NASA program in Huntsville, AL?"

"What are your thoughts about Winn Dixie not actually getting better all the time?"

"Has your intolerance to virgin pina coladas decreased in the past few years?"

"How are you handling the claims by the general public that you are the reason for the recent decline in the sale of Cabbage Patch Kids?"

"Considering koala bears are quickly headed toward the endangered species list, why do you continue to hunt them?"

"What would you say to those who think your $1 million donation to the "Bring Polio Back to the US" campaign is somewhat questionable?"

"Diane Sawyer recently stated that "Dante's Peak" is not the greatest movie ever made. Your thoughts?"

We should have the answers to these intriguing questions for you shortly. It's guaranteed to be mildly interesting.

Hoping we truly will be "friends forever,"
Robby

Not sure if you remember, but I entered the "My Grammy Moment" contest this past summer, and I was pretty obsessed with this one girl's video.  She's one of the most hilarious girls I've ever seen besides the two girls Jeremiah and I sat beside at the American Idol auditions.  Well... I found her video on youtube (God bless youtube), and I think everyone needs to see it.

She and some friends have also made some other videos that are pretty funny, too.  Example below:

wow, 

Robby

Yeah...not sure what I've been doing

I can't even begin to remember the last time I posted on here. I know Robby has still posted the occasional absurd thought but the consistency has certainly not been there. Sorry for that. I've been distracted the last few months and may continue to be for another month or two but I don't want to completely quit keeping up with this thing.

Right now, I am sitting in the Orlando airport waiting to go to Nicaragua. A few weeks ago I was sitting in O'Henry's when I got an email advertising some really cheap flights to random Central American countries. Obviously I had to buy one, so I forwarded the email to Drew to see which one to pick. He seemed to think Nicaragua was the best choice (we were in a pretty big hurry last time we came through and we didn't give it the attention it deserves) so we picked a weekend and booked tickets a few days later. Then followed one of Drew's mass invitations - which he is famous for - where he tried to convince some of our friends that life is too short/when are you gonna have an opportunity like this/it's only four days...all in an attempt to get a bigger crowd. Amazingly, it ended up being a Shire reunion (of the single guys at least) and me, Drew, Wong, Oakley, and Hausen are all on our way to Managua.

I think its gonna be pretty sweet...although, like most traveling I do, it's not very well planned.

But I'm excited. I can't really handle the early sunsets in Birmingham right now anyways.

Here's a few shots of the hotel we are trying to stay...





Yeah, it looks scary beautiful. And finally, a picture of us tomorrow night.

Brownies

My friend brought up an interesting point last night. Walking towards me with a questioning look just as I was taking some brownies out of the oven, he asked if I thought the term "brownies" was a bit racist. Considering I had never thought to stop and think about this, I carefully looked at the brownies and decided that, yes, it was racist to call brownies "brownies," and thus we should begin to call them "chocolate squares." Honestly, I'll never be able to actually call brownies chocolate squares, because I've called them brownies for far too long. This is not to say that I shouldn't try to change my ways... but I won't. I just think its important that people be aware that calling brownies "brownies" probably isn't the most politically correct thing to do.

Still looking out for you,
Robby

Across the Universe

See the movie if you want, but it should be a law that you have to download the Delux Edition Soundtrack because its incredible. Thats all I've been listening to for the past 48 hours. Remember... its the Delux Edition. Not the regular one. I know its $15, but I promise you its worth it! Get it.

Wishing I could have played Jude,

I created a new month today.

It's called "Garrens (Gah-renz)." I'm still debating on what two months it falls between in our current calender, but the spaces between February and March or September and October are obviously the most popular so far. I'm thinking that the 12th of Garrens should be a national holiday. I'm open to suggestions on what this holiday should be in honor of, so leave some ideas on the comment board, and they'll all be heavily discussed.

Happy 12th,
Robby

Oh... and I bought a McDonald's cookie tote tonight (13 cookies), which makes this the 7th time that I've purchased this incredible item since it was created. I know. I'm a hypocrite (reference blog entitled "McDonald's is fat").

Dutch Baby

If you've been to "The Original Pancake House" at Five Points here in Birmingham, AL, then you might have noticed the restaurant's specialty called the "Dutch Baby." Contrary to popular belief, if you order the Dutch Baby you will not receive a tiny fetus on a plate wearing wooden shoes. You can imagine my disappointment upon discovering this fact after ordering the Dutch Baby. If you're not going to bring me a fetus with wooden shoes, then don't call your dish a "Dutch Baby." This should be common sense, right? I mean... who's going to expect a bowl shaped, egg tasting pancake covered in powdered sugar when they order a Dutch Baby? Not me. I wanted that tender baby with those shiny little mahogany clogs. Needless to say, I won't be ordering the Pancake House's specialty anymore.

Now getting the background on my food choices,

2 Minute Song Review - Britney Spears "Gimme More"

Rolling Stone review:

"With the release of her new single "Gimme More" one can't help but believe that Britney is finally on top after all these years. No song since "Blue (Daba Dee Daba Die)" has demonstrated such diverse and emotionally engaging lyrics. The song effortlessly glides along as it forces you to slip into a tight pair of black panties, a sparkly bra, and a trance while stumbling around aimlessly. Ranked the #1 song in America based on iTunes sales, "Gimme More" (More commonly referred to as "Gimme, Gimme More" by true Britney fans) is a perfect example of how refined our nation's musical taste has become. Give us more, Britney. Please Lord, give us, give us more."

It's October

You know what that means...



Dragon season.
