You Should Be As Excited As I Am

My wife started a blog!!

Okay...I actually started it. But that's beside the point. This blog is going to be a place for her to put all those recipes that everyone is always asking for! Isn't that exciting?

Also, she doesn't really know it yet, but she's going to put some of her craft-i-est ideas on the blog as well!

Aren't you just jazzed?

Life on the Hut Line

As a delivery driver for the Hut, one of my duties is answering the phone. It never fails that at least one call every night goes thusly...

Me: Thanks for calling Pizza Hut/Wing Street. This is Aaron, will this be for delivery or carryout?

Caller: Yeah...uhhh...what specials do you have?

Me: We have our Pizza Mia deal. You can get 3 or more medium 1 topping hand-tossed pizzas for $5 each.

Caller: Any other specials?

Me: Well, you can get 2 medium, 1 topping pizzas and 10 wings for $21.99, or you can get 2 medium, 1 topping pizzas, breadsticks, and chocolate dunkers for $19.99.

Caller: Uhhh...

Me: How many people are you buying for?

Caller: Uhhh...just me.

Me: Okay. We also have our personal pan combo. It's a personal pan pizza, salad and a drink.

Caller: Umm...that's okay. I've got a coupon here for an $8.99 medium pizza...I'll just use it.

Spoiler Alert!

I like movies. A lot. In fact, somebody did one of those "how many of these movies have you seen" things on Facebook, and I had seen 169 out of 239. That's quite a few in my opinion.

However, there are a fistful of movies that I recommend NO ONE see. The one thing all these movies have in common is a downer ending. If I wanted a downer ending, I'd watch the news.

I will be giving some details about the plot of each movie, so if you ever plan on watching them (in spite of the fact I am telling you now - DON'T!!), then you may want to go ahead and leave this blog. If you want, you could just go here instead. If you don't mind some spoilers, read on!

1) Pay It Forward - Haley Joel Osment (the kid from the Sixth Sense) gets this great idea. Instead of "paying people back" for the bad things they do to you, he wants to "pay it forward" whenever someone does something nice. So he spends the whole movie trying to do this. He fixes his mother up with his school teacher. Eventually his plan makes the news, as people he has paid it forward to, pay it forward to others. Then, at the very end of the movie, he tries to protect a boy from a bully and gets stabbed and killed. I kid you not. Do not watch this movie.

2) My Girl - Girl befriends boy. Everybody is happy. Boy gets stung by lots of bees. Boy dies. Everyone is sad. Never watch this movie.

3) Bridge to Terabithia - Same movie as My Girl except the girl dies, and it's not bees, she drowns in a creek. This movie should be avoided.

4) Message In A Bottle - Kevin Costner and Buttercup from the Princess Bride can't decide if they want to be together. Finally Kevin decides he can commit to Buttercup. He gets in his boat to sail around the point to tell her he loves her and is lost at sea. We had someone recommend this movie for a date night...on our anniversary. Seriously. This movie should be on your personal "DON'T WATCH" list.

This last movie isn't the same type of movie, but it is so bad, I had to add it.

5) Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny - I've not actually seen all of this one. It's that bad. Do not be tempted to watch this movie just so see how bad it actually is. It's really that bad. Scream and run away if someone offers to loan you this movie.

Any recommendations for me to avoid?

This Post Is Not Filler

It's really not filler, I promise. With my friend Jeff telling everyone in the world that I'm not posting "filler", I have to make sure you all understand. This. Is. Not. Filler.

However, it is short.

I've always been a dreamer. Not in the figurative "MLK - I have a dream" sense, but literally. I've always had lots of vivid dreams, and I remember a lot of them, often in great detail.

Last night I dreamed I had 88 subscribers to my blog! 88!!

I don't...but I dreamed that I did.

However, I appreciate all the subscribers I do have! Thanks Subscribers!

I might share some of my other dreams in a later post. I used to have this one dream over and over when I was a little kid. I was pretty interesting, in a strange, silly sort of way. I'll probably share that one first...

Have you ever had any strange or vivid dreams?
