Post 18

I didn't post yesterday. Sorry, I wasn't particularly busy, I just didn't want to.

Let me search my brain and see what has occurred in the last two days........ not much. I found out I've lost a little over five pounds in the past week but I bet I will gain it back and then some soon.

My birthday is coming up in the next few weeks as you can see from the poll. I keep quizzing Allison on what she's going to get me and she says I have to go shopping with her. I doubt she will get me anything. Last year for our Anniversary (the 19th) I got her a diamond necklace and a trip to the beach. What did I get? Nothing. A week later (the 25th) was my birthday and what did I get? Nothing. She said her laziness was caused by her pregnancy, I think it was caused by the fact that she doesn't love me. She did end up feeling so bad about it that she got me an iPhone so....... I guess I'm over it.

A few days ago I was on my back porch with my BB gun and I saw a wasp flying around. I wondered if I could shoot it. First and second shots got close but didn't hit it. It then flew towards the back of our yard (about 25 feet away), I shot and it dropped to the ground. I was proud of myself.

Answer to last trivia: Clark JOSEPH Kent

Trivia: In Back to the Future III, what four colors of smoke came out of the train's smoke stack at the end?

Daily (Fight) Memory:
In the fifth grade, a boy in my class named Franco always picked on my friend, Jake. Franco's backstory: He had a square head, came from a foreign country, and his dad was the cook at a strip club. Once, he wouldn't quit picking on Jake so I walked up, kindly got in his face, and told him to back off. He then proceeded to shove me so I got very angry. I kicked him...somewhere and then pushed him and he fell into a bush that had saw briers all in it. The briers ripped his shirt and skin up pretty badly and it was noticeably very hard for him to get out of it. He never bothered Jake again.

Twosday

Last night before Allison got home Avery crawled to me. This was the first recorded occurrence of her actually crawling. Until now the best she could do was semi-crawl while she drug her face (that sounds worse than it was). But yeah, she crawled for me first and Allison missed it. When she finally got home, I tried to get Avery to crawl again but she just wouldn't do it. Once she sees her mama all she wants is to be held and be fed. She needs her mom for food and love. She just needs me for entertainment.

I blackened some fish last night for supper but it just wasn't as good as it is on the grill. Why do most meats taste the best grilled?

I don't think I've talked about it on here but whoever reads this blog needs to go see The Dark Knight. Its very good. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Answer to last post's trivia: On the episode the contest, it seemed like George won but in the last episode when they thought their plane was going to crash, George confessed to Jerry that he cheated so technically Jerry won.

Trivia: What is Clark Kent's middle name?

Daily (Fight) Memory:
When I was in the third grade there was a boy in my class who annoyed me every day. His name was Kevin. One day he asked me if I wanted a piece of gum and I said yeah so when I reached for it, he punched me and busted my lip for no reason at all. I got so angry that I tackled him and repeatedly punched him in the chest. He then pushed me off of him and tried to run away. Utility Al will find this similar to what I did a few years later but thats another memory for another post. As he was running away, I looked down and saw a little piece of petrified wood on the ground (I guess someone had been to the petrified forest and dropped it), so I picked it up and in desperation threw it in his direction. It hit him squarely in the small of his back and he dropped to the ground. I almost got suspended for that one but I talked my way out of it. Kevin wasn't so lucky. When I got home, I told my mom what happened and she was very angry with me for fighting. My dad was proud.

Every Other Day Of The Week Is Fine

Long, detailed, boring, weekend recap: Friday night, stayed home with the family and watched some Lost on DVD. This proved to be a little tough to do since Avery has learned how to blabber REALLY loudly. All we heard the whole time we were trying to watch was BLA DA DA DA!!!! BUH BUH MUH GA GA DA DAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday, we went to the mall. This was not very fun at all but it was amusing watching people look at Avery. She likes sitting in the big kid stroller (which looks funny considering she's only six months old). Also, I think her ability to hold her own bottle while she sits in the stroller makes it look a little strange too. Then we went out to eat at Schimmel's (a nice restaurant that is one of the few places in Mississippi that has a revolving door) with the Grubb's's's (the inlaws) for Allison's mom's birthday. My food was okay but the portion was tiny. It was a ripoff. Sunday was good, all we did was stay at home, we went walking, I grilled a tenderloin, and we watched Blade Runner (which we didn't like very much). Not a bad weekend.

Answer to last post's Trivia: Isosceles Kramer

Trivia: On Seinfeld, who really won "The Contest" and was master of his/her domain?

Daily Memory: When I was in the second grade, there was this kid in my class who's name was Kyle. He was a spoiled little jerk who always tried to boss everyone around. One day on the playground he was sitting on the tire swing and I walked by. He didn't ask me to push him, he commanded me. I quickly told him no and he said that if I didn't do it that he would tell our teacher that I punched him and I would get in trouble. So I said, "fine Kyle, I'll push you." I walked up to the swing, grabbed the chain in one hand and with the other I punched him as hard as I could right in his gut. He cried his little pansy eyes out and ran and told the teacher and I got in trouble. I figured there was no way I was going to let him boss me around and if he was going to lie and tell the teacher anyway that I hit him, I might as well not let that punch go to waste.

Consecutively

Well, I just was starting to write this post and was talking about how bad its storming outside and right when I wrote "I hope the power doesn't go out" and the power went out. Weird.

Anyway....... why is there no good television on in the summer? Do TV executives think nobody watches TV once their kids get out of school? I mean the best thing on last night was Last Comic Standing and I don't even like it that much. Reality TV is horrible. Whatever happened to shows that were actually written that had actors and a plot? Now they're even making Family Feud and The Price Is Right primetime tv. I sound like an old man.

Well I figured out that I don't really weigh 190, I weigh 180. I had the scale on the carpet and for some reason that made it register higher. I wonder how much I would lose if I started taking laxatives all the time...

I took Avery to daycare this morning and saw that it was costume day for all the bigger kids. Most of them were wearing Incredibles or Princess costumes but there was one girl that was wearing a little mermaid bathing suit and a pink supergirl cape. I thought that was funny, I guess her parents let her pick out her costume.

The answer to last trivia: "The sauce you can have but the secret, she's a mine!"

Todays Trivia: On Seinfeld, If Kramer ever had kids what did he say he would name his child?

Daily Memory:
When I was in the fifth grade, my whole grade was playing on the playground after we got back from a field trip. I dont remember where we went but for some reason I was dressed nice in a polo shirt and khaki pants. I was playing on one of those wooden playhouses on stilts, you know, the ones that have platforms, a swinging bridge, a slide, and monkey bars? I decided to jump off of it and I heard a loud *RIIIP* noise and noticed that my feet never hit the ground. Then I noticed the cool breeze..... To my utter horror, I realized that a nail was sticking up on the wood that had caught not only my pants but ALSO my underwear and ripped a big hole so my butt (somehow unscathed) was on display for all to see while I was hanging there. Thank goodness, only one little girl saw what happened because I quickly got down and tied my coat around my waist.

Post Titles Are Too Hard To Think Of

Since someone is a quitter (Mr. Dees), I now feel obligated to entertain all of blog world with the excitement of my life on a more regular basis. After all, my mom did used to tell me that "the Magees aren't quitters." I hated it when she said that. Fair warning though before we embark on this semi-daily journey: it will be very very boring.

I'm getting fat. Growing up I was always incredibly skinny, I could eat anything I wanted to and my crazy metabolism would just take care of it for me. Well something happened in the past few years. Six years ago I weighed around 145 lbs. and I now weigh right under 190. Since Mother Allison is still trying to lose some of her left-over baby weight, we figured we would go on a diet. Diets suck, we've only been on it for about three days and I hate it. There's no reason to live anymore. For lunch I used to eat a chili-cheese burger, cheddar peppers with ranch dipping sauce, mini fried apple pies with caramel dipping sauce, and a large coke. Yesterday for lunch I ate a grilled chicken sandwich with nothing on it, fruit, and a water. Now I'm always hungry.

Avery went to the doctor yesterday and got her shots. She is almost 28 inches long which means only 5 percent of girls her age are taller than her. I don't know why but I'm proud of the fact that I have a giant viking sized baby. Avery just learned how to reach for people to hold her. She reaches out for me the most for some reason.

Last entry's trivia answer was: Cochran, The bonus answer: Hermes

Today's trivia: On Saved by the Bell, what was the slogan for Screech's spaghetti sauce?

Daily Memory:
When I was in the sixth grade, my mom, my sister, and I got rear ended and our car got stuck on some train tracks. We heard a train coming so we jumped out. We watched as the train slammed into our car and threw it about fifty or so yards into some trees. My mom and sister screamed and cried. I thought it was awesome.

Happy Late Birthday Utility Al

it's starting

The Beginning

An Actual New Post

Wow, here I am. I didnt think I would ever post again but my fans demanded it (all two of them). Its been three months since I posted last and as you can see, Avery has grown a good bit. She'll be six months old in a week. She now talks gibberish, can almost crawl, can almost sit up by herself, reaches for everything, still has trouble growing much hair, and is incredibly spoiled. She cries and whines whenever shes left alone. We've created a monster. I shouldve posted a picture of myself at her age to show how much she looks like me at that age. I was actually a cute kid until I hit puberty and then I got all awkward and ugly. This weekend we are getting her baptized. I'm a little worried about that situation because shes a little older than kids usually are when they get baptized. It will probably be a disaster but I'm sure I will look back at it and laugh.

Hmm.... What else has happened since the last post...... We bought a new car. An 08 Accord, a family sedan. This is the first time I've ever had to make car payments and it sucks. Daycare + Insurance + Food + House Payment + Car Payment + etc= nothing, well I guess it equals depression.

Beach Trip 2008 occurred also. I wanted to call it "The Squeaky Fifth Wheel Gets The Grease Trip 2008" but Matt got another person to go so that ended that. Mother Allison had to leave Daughter Avery for the first time but she made it through okay. The water in the gulf was brown, stinky, and freezing cold but the condo was awesome and we had a good time. Utility Al buried Matt in the sand. I think Mother Allison took a picture of it, I need to find it and put it in the next blog post.

The asnwer to the post before the last post's trivia from three and a half months ago was armadillo (if I remember correctly).

This post's trivia: On Full House, Uncle Jesse's last name was changed to Katsopolis. What was his original last name?
Bonus: Jesse was his nickname, what was his given first name?
