Thunderdome Round 1 for KtDJ!

I am no longer a Thunderdome virgin! This past Saturday night I along with my brother-in-law Jeremy Alexander, and friends Charley Belle and Jonathan Bender took the stage under the name of 'Kill the DJ'. Our format being long form with a twist...any character we created had to be killed in order for us to become a new character. The suggestions we recieved were the words 'yellow', and 'shark'. So we went from an American in Australia learning how to catch the illusive 'Yellow Shark' to a rather attractive secretary in the big house in the men's division. It was a lot of fun. I would say that was probably the MOST fun I have had so far doing improv! Between Jonathan's famous crab impression, Charley's frat boy and Jeremy's gay (guy?girl?) there were lots of laughs not only amongst the audience but amongst ourselves. There were a couple of dry spots here and there but overall I would say the best performance we've given between our rehearsals and the show. The best part about it was, we won!!!! It was an awesome feeling and I am looking forward to more of our rehearsals together and the final showdown. Good luck to all!

And now...A Relationship!

That's right folks, I am in a relationship with the lovely lady that you see in the attached photo. Her name is Kait Loney and she is 5' tall. She is very funny, smart, cute, and most importantly, she gets me. Or should I say she gets my jokes! We met Friday the 2nd of January and we stayed up until 6 am Saturday talking about any/everything and then Saturday night we met back up at about 11 pm and talked until about 630 am Sunday and she left Sunday afternoon. While back in Wichita with her parents she and I talked on the Facebook IM from about 6 pm to 2 am Monday. Monday evening we talked again from 8 pm to 230 am Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon I went to Wichita to meet her parents and her brother who were very nice and hospitable. I entertained them, as I am fit to do so, with a few short jokes and anecdotes of growing up with several of my siblings and my parents included. She said her parents liked me so I think I am doing well so far. I'm excited about this relationship as she is a fairly new Christian and will be an excellent influence on me. She goes to school at a College called York in Nebraska where she has a full ride scholarship for Soccer. She is a goalkeeper. Hopefully she will available to meet all family very soon. We'll see.

New Year's

Happy '09 everyone! I'm sure this blog finds everyone doing well...I wish I had more pictures to post but I got separated from my photographer during the course of the evening so what is being posted is all I've got...It was a great New Year's Eve, I went to Manhattan with Luke and his girlfriend Veronica and we went to the Eve 6 concert...I saw a ladder going up to a roof top so naturally I climbed it to see what was up there and it was the sound crew...Luke and Veronica followed me and we watched the concert from the rooftop...Luke said the cops were watching us the whole time but must've figured we were with the crew...Moral: If you want to do something you're not supposed to be doing, look like you're supposed to be doing it and no one will know the difference...So since January 1 I haven't done a whole lot with my time. I used the Gift Card given to me by Jessica for Christmas to buy a Stephen King Collection which had Dreamcatcher, The Shining, and Shawshank Redemption in it...This was an awesome buy if you ask me...Shane and his girlfriend are in Texas vending T-shirts at the Cotton Bowl with her Uncle...Justin is in Germany with his girlfriend until about the 18th I believe and Luke works a lot so I've been catching up on all nine seasons of the Simpson's for the last couple days...You never know when someone will ask you some trivia about the Simpson's and you will need to know the answer...So yeah, I'll be putting up another blog soon about some exciting news but until I have pictures for it I don't want to write it. So, until then we'll see ya.

Jhoanna's family...some of them

Back From Ecuador

It was an awesome two weeks! I met Jhoanna's family and friends and ate like a king for every meal. I went to the beach for three days and am pretty sure I got 7th degree burns...all over! It was pretty rough after that but I'm alive and kicking. It was an excellent experience and Jhoanna and I are planning a trip to Norway sometime next year. School is fun kind of. I enjoy my makeup class for TH&F and I'm getting pretty good at painting things on my face. Yesterday I painted a Super Mario Brothers mushroom on my face...It was pretty cool...I am applying at Wal-Mart in Lawrence because I'm very bored with just going to school so It will give me something to do. I changed my major to something I think I might stick with...FINALLY!!! I'm going to major in Sociology and minor in Theater and Film. That's about it for right now...Oh and I'm devising a plan to take over the world...I'll write more later...
