Good morning Starshine, the earth says "Hello!"...

...and thus was born my blog!!! i've noticed recently that any email, text, or other various form of message i send to anyone leans quite far toward rambling about somewhat useless information. and, let's be honest now, i really enjoy the randomness of said rambling, and isn't that really what a blog is for at its core? in summary, i don't really know what i'm doing or exactly why it's happening, but nothing's been broken yet, so i'm just going to see where this thing goes. anyone want to join me?

rugby is, in my opinion, one of the three greatest sports. i've played it enough to know where i stand. you don't have to agree, but don't try to argue.

figure skating is a beautiful and relaxing release that i will always love. and hey, i can do that move!!!

snowboarding is absolutely amazing and my newest-found love affair. and hey, someday soon i'll do that move!!!

- i was reading a story that had a lot to do with nicknames, and it got me thinking of mine. there are a lot. i sort of wonder how i've never gotten confused or developed some sort of split personality disorder, seeing how most of these are used by different people. let me just list them for you:
brettster
max/maximus/brettimus maximus
norwegian smarty-pants
shnizzle bizzle
brett bretterson
gazelle
brett vandygriff fastest girl in the nation (yes, that is an official nickname, and one that i'm quite proud of.)
minority
impala
and sometimes i'm the one that "is not a sword", "looks like beer", and "smells like beef and cheese"(chi dawg, i hope you appreciate this). i think i'm forgetting some, but that's ok. these will suffice.

hopefully for anyone who reads this, and i don't expect large numbers there, this is a satisfactory new blog. if you don't like random bits of rambling, you probably should have never read this! here are some more random funnies that i hope will at least make you giggle a little.

i never wanted a furby. i found them disturbing and used them as torture devices, but now i see that they exist in real life! maybe it's just a little bit cute in its odd way, but mostly i'm just frightened.

seriously. punk is not for most people. they should stop trying. p.s. if anyone wants a laugh, look up "chinchilla day" on youtube.

and this is just funny.

that is all. end.
