Guts or Balls? There is a medical distinction. We’ve all heard about
people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference
between them? In an effort to keep you informed, and to alleviate
further confusion, the following definitions are listed below:

GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met
by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ‘Are you still
cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?’

BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of
perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the
butt and having the balls to say: ‘You’re next, Chubby.’

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically
speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately
result in death.

So, this past week I have been really excited about getting to coach elementary basketball. I love basketball, and I love working with little kids. However, this morning I was informed that my supervisor for AmeriCorps is going around telling everyone in town that I am not allowed to work for anyone other than AmeriCorps. What a peice off bullshit. Its totally not true. What I do on my personal time is my personal time for one, and so she should be going and telling people what I can and can’t do on my personal time excpecially without talking to me about it first. Hello? So yeah, apparently she went and told our lead teacher that I can’t coach basketball becuase I am not allowed to work. Which I was ok with, I was like ok well I could just go help out with it. But then the teacher walked up to me and was like well if you can’t work then you can go coach the kids, and I will come in every once and awhile and help and get paid for it. Now why would I coach for free while someone else is getting paid for it. That makes no since at all. So anyways least to say that didnt start my day off well. Then I went home, and come to find out she had also told my sister that I couldnt work for them at all becuase I wasn’t allowed to work. Now telling my sister I am not allowed to do anything for her is crossing the line. If I want to do something for my sister God I am going to do it. Its my sister for crying out loud. So who knows who else that she told I couldn’t go work for them. It pisses me off. Anyways, then after that I get an email from her telling me what I should be doing she tells me to do stuff that I am already doing. Apparently she is paying no damn attention. When she is the one that set up for me to be in school 4 hours a day. So yeah least to say I am pissed off today. I am thinking about telling AmeriCorps where to shove there 40 hour a week job. But I don’t know what to do. What would you do?

Well, as many of you probably already know on my 21st Birthday Michael and I went into Ketchikan. it was a lot of fun. However, what I ended up doing wasn’t my intentions when I went in there. However, It was still fun. Anyways the morning of the 10th we went into Ketchikan, and Mike and I went to the Landing and had some lunch. It was very good, and a relaxing meal. Then we did a little bit of shopping and headed up to our hotel room. Well, we were going to be naughty, and then the famous phone call comes. Mike and I always get interrupted by phones. Anyways, It was my sister Jennifer. She wanted to come visit us. So, we waited for her while watching Dr. Phil. About the lady who had like 14 kids. God I hope I never have that many kids, at least not all at once.

So anyways, we visited with Jennifer. It was a pretty nice visit with her. Then we visited with Becca and Ronny afterwards, and they invited us to go out to dinner with them. Then MIke and I went out to Jennifer’s house, where Christopher had to tell us all about his blind dog “ButterCup” It was a pretty good dog I have to admit, but I don’t think a blind dog would get along very well with a blind guy. They would probably collide a lot. That would suck. Anyways, and then we met Jennifer’s new boyfriend Kevin. He was a pretty good guy it seemed like. At least better then some of the others that she has picked out.

Then that was the end of us visiting with everyone so we headed out to dinner at Oceanveiw, where we had dinner with Becca, Ronny, Kayleigh, Felton, Devon, and Jessica. Dinner was very good, in fact Oceanveiw is my favorite place to eat in Ketchikan. They have a lot of choices, and great food proceeded by Chips & Salsa. Very good. Better than going to Red Robbin if you ask me. But I still miss Red Robbin.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and we headed down to Becca and Ronny’s room. Where Mike told Ronny that he should take me out for some drinks. So yeah, Becca, Ronny, and I went out to drink at the bars and Mike stayed to watch the boys (very nice of him eh?). I went and got a free drink from every bar in Ketchikan that was open that night. Which well wasn’t very many. I think I had like 3 duck farts, a strawberry daquiri, a martini, and a rum and coke. By the way Duck Farts are very good if you haven’t had them before I highly suggest them.:) We came across some very nice bartenders at a bar called Mike’s Elbow Room. They told me that next time I need to try German Chocolate Cake, which I guess tastes just like german chocolate cake apparently. Weird if you ask me. I don’t know how alchohol can taste like German Chocolate Cake. And also Tequilla Sunrises. I also learned how to play darts… lol. And got to shoot some pool with Ronny and Becca. So that was fun. Now I can’t wait til Mike’s Birthday to go do it again.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and went to bed, and woke up the next morning. Did some shopping, and then went home. Overall it was a good trip.

Oh yeah, and I got an amazing wii game for my birthday it wears me out big time. It is called Outdoor Challenge. Very good game I would highly recommend it to any of you who play the wii. Mike also likes it I think. I also got some other wii stuff, and Mike got me some beautiful Butterfly earrings. They are my favorite color purple, and I have been wearing them since I got them. I love them! I also got a kool digital photo frame. I love those things. I was so excited to get one. Now I just need a good place to put it. Maybe Mike and I will just have to move into a place by ourselves so I can set up all my stuff. I miss having my own place….. Anyways, I think thats about it for now. Hope you all had a great weekend, and hope your week goes great.

Then we went
