Birthday

So as it comes time for my birthday I recently noticed that I share the same birthday as the dog that lives in this house during the day, whom I hate. So I had this vision/idea the other day of the worst birthday. Basically as most of you would have guessed, my birthday is completely overshadowed by the birthday of this horrible creature named Toby, all day everyone wishes Toby a happy birthday but not me.

Then at the end of the day I would confide in someone letting them know

"Hey it's actually my birthday today, and I am probably slightly cooler then this dog, that no one likes"

To which this person replies "I can say something and let everyone know"

"No I'm ok"

"Alrite"

While I reflect on this potential birthday, I start to be reminded of my second life, in which I am Ryan the Intern from the popular TV show The Office.

Many people may not recall but this similar event happened, when Micheal Scott decides to host a birthday party to boost team moral, he looks for closest birthday and throws a birthday party for Meredith. Whose birthday is months away. Later at the end, Ryan the Intern notifies Toby that it was his birthday that day, but tells him not to tell anyone.

Ironically as this would be the worst birthday ever, it would also be the best due to the fact that I am so closely living with my other life.

Telephone

So this situation happened some time ago, just felt to share it.

So to set the scene I pick up one of my kids and am walking to some other guys house to play some video games together. So I phone the kids to let them know we are on the way.

Bringg!!
(Lucas answers the phone)
(Lucas = L ; Ryan = R)

L: Hello!
R: Hi, this is Ryan from Camp Grace Calling.
L: Hi Ryan.
R: Hey Lucas, just calling to make sure it is ok that Jeremy and I come by now?
L: Umm... My mom said that when you guys get here we can offer you some juice.
R: OK, that would be great. Is it ok if Jeremy and I come right now?
L: You can come right now if you want.
R: Cool, see you in a bit.
L: Bye.

What a weird conversation, he successfully didn't answer any of my questions. Luckily we still got to the point, and I knew juice would be served.

Orlando

So I have been in Orlando the past few days, I am not sure if people read this that often, but if you do that's cool, so I will keep you in the loop. Just one quick story and I will do a bigger update later on, but basically we did Universal Studios and Islands of Adventrue, totally fun, and awesome. But I must tell my story about going to the Orlando Magic game, so I want to get there nice and early hopefully go in and look around the place be down at the court take some sweet pictures and stuff, so I arrive at 4:15, so mom and sisters can make it back to SeaWorld in time for the Shamu show. So I go to the Box Office and pick up my ticket and the guy there informs me that the doors don't open until 6:00 and the game isn't until 7:00 which I knew but I Just wanted to go check things out for a while first. Anyways so I start walking around killing some time, and I get to a security guard who asks me if I need any help, I just let him know I'm killing time until they open the doors talk to him for a while, and he tells me where to go to watch the players drive in, so he let's me walk through the security zone, and I sit on the other side watching all the players drive in, unfortunately the security guard wouldn't let me take pictures, but I saw Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Keith Bogans, and JJ Reddick all drive up in their very nice sports cars. Then I run into this guy and start talking to him, and we start trying to find ways to get in early to look around, after trying many different doors and asking the security guards to make an exception, we finally give up, he says he is going to have a smoke, then asks me if I smoke weed. I politely turn down the offer, weird didn't see that coming, finally it is six and the doors are opened, and I go down court side, to watch the warm up, hi5'd Dwight Howard, no big deal. The game was sweet, the Magic owned them so the hometown crowd was pumped. It was a very good game, and such a sweet experience. Anyways thats my quick story for now. Home in Vancouver tomorrow just spent most of my day tanning at the pool.

Super Bowl

Well originally I said that I was only going to watch if the Cowboys were in it, well I am still going to watch it, I might become really depressed. But considering that I watched approximately 60 hours of football this year I figured it would be a big waste to not watch. Go Pats. I hate the Giants.
