Cort and his theories on Gravity


I got a call from my wife on the way home from work in which she informed me that i needed to go and meet my little brother at the ER. They wheeled him in and I began to talk to him, the only problem was he had no idea who I was....knocked silly and all. So i thought I'd document this occasion, cause chances were, he wouldn't remember. Cort was flying down a trail here in So. Cal. when some dummy decided that he would like to go up the down hill trail, in the middle of said trail, without a helmet. The outcome was a mangling of metal and flesh with Cort receiving less bodily harm then the retard (something to do with physics I'm sure...mass=speed x acceleration?...yes, I know im the not brightest when it comes to physics and all) Anyway...Cort was knocked silly, as stated previously, and got a bad gash on his chin. This is him right after he came into the ER.


Paula (older brothers wife) came also to throw her "I'm a nurse who works here" badge and power around, which came in quite usefull. She'd talk shop with the nurses and get the scoop on Cort and I would just rifle through all the cool Trauma Room equipment and supplies.


This is an image of Cort with his second mouth. The gash was right to the bone. The pastic surgeon came and let me look over her shoulder and see all the carnage that a trail of dirt can do to a persons chin. She showed me his chin bone and all the vessells around it. Very facinating. I would have been a doctor I think, if it wasnt for all the studying and knowing crap.


The on-call plastic surgeon creating yet another masterpiece. It was like watching an artist paint, but paid much better and, looking at 99% of "artists" today, displaying much more talent.

Kickin' it root down.......at a fast food joint


"You expect me to drink this crap?...I mean c'mon...its apple juice in a frikken box....a thin cardboard-like box. What...what does this say here...."from concentrate?"....you mean this isn't fresh? So help me....if this tastes like crap, sleep with one eye open at night....cause your dead....dead I say."


"You have won this round mr. "apple in a box"....but next time i shall thwart your efforts....mmmm....how I love to lick its creamy center....its candy-like center...go away....Stop staring at me!!!"


Charley enjoys eating the head of this stuffed bird. It makes noises if you push it in the belly...the bird that is..well I guess Charley does too, but his noises probably wont be nice ones. Anyway....the bird makes noises as he chomps on his head, as if the bird is struggling for its last breath. This in turn causes Charley to giggle more and continue to bite with more exuberance. I'm pretty sure thats perfectly normal and doesnt require and sort of cause for alarm.


It's like a "Glamour shot" that you'd get a the mall, but good. "Glamour Shots"...i think that was the actual name of the place in the mall that did those types of photos. There were a couple of girls in my senior class of high school that had those done for the yearbook, instead of the normal "dressed-up" half shirt concept that was the norm. I cant imagine the thought process behind going to the mall, of all places, and participating in this horror episode of modern day photography. After all was said and done, the pictures looked like someone had smeared Vaseline all over the lens before the photo was taken, which in turn, helped create an abstract blur of large flesh, big matted hair, and halloween-esque make-up. But ultimately, it gave me many heart felt laughs in which to remember those days with a smile. Oh, and he's so freakin' cute.

Where's Clater


So I was invited to share is some BYU freshman Memories. Its like where's Waldo, but the end result isnt quite as fullfilling. Im in there somewhere. No beard, skinnier, and with lots more hair.......*sigh*........I really enjoyed having no responsibility and lowered expectations.

My Boys and Such


Showing off their matching outfits. Its like the movie "Twins" but with talent.


The boys with their cousins....some of them anyway...well, the ones that could be coaxed with candy and empty promises of fun and fortune for the picture.

San Diego Comic Con.....I went.....what of it?


Both my brothers and a friend decided to geek it up and go to the San Diego Comic-Con. Yeah, I laughed a bit at the notion at first too, but then the thought began to fester in me like an infection....then i found myself buying a ticket to attend. SO...Me and the Ghost Busters...well...fake ones, but they did a pretty good job on the making their costumes and it made me giggle.


Real Amputee.....fake movie....kinda creepy and all, but worth a picture.


Travis refused to be in any pictures except this one. Apparently he was too cool....at a comic book convention....with people dressed up as comic book characters.......too cool.....at a comic book convention.


This was an interesting find. I was walking through the endless rows of isles with venders selling just about anything you can think of. As i browsed the various goods, mostly silly junk, i heard a familiar voice..."Gee-willikers" was the only thing distinguishable in the crowd of voices. I stepped down to the end of the isle and saw this short tiny woman signing photos of herself. Thats right, the voice of Jimmy Neutron. You could probably tell that i have a small child who watches a lot of Nickelodeon

San Diego Comic Con...part II


Cort gets all the ladies....even the stripper-like ones.


This Ventrue Brothers character "Molatov Cocktease" made me laugh, so I had Cort model with her for a "reference"....giggity.


Freakin Pokemon. Cort was gonna push this penguin-esque thing over, but all the children trapped under it would have been sad.....funny, but sad.


I wonder what allows a man to get into a full body suit and paint muscles on himself. It would seem that I dont have that gene. Notice the craptastic cardboard wings that really pull this outfit together. It says, "I was more excited to get into spandex then to actually finish the costume". It borders on the creepy side rather then creative.


Katey Segal...voice of Turunga Leela (yeah, i know a cartoon's full name....the whole "I'm at a comic con" should tell you a lot) the pilot from the Cartoon "Futurama"...she was in some other shows like Married with children...blah..blah (like who watched that show?)....I wanted to AXE her a question, but there was a line of paying people to get her signature.
