Murphey's Law: a $200,000 proof

So at a Formula One race in Monaco a car carrying a $200,000 diamond in the nose crashed into the guard rail at one of the turns. Of course, they lost the diamond.

They put the diamond in the nose as a publicity stunt and then Murphy's Law came through with flying colors. What would make someone think, "well, let's put this huge diamond in the nose of a car that we won't have control over."

When the car crashed they couldn't find the diamond. How do they know that it wasn't stolen earlier and the driver wasn't paid to have an accident causing the 'accidental' loss of the diamond? I would seriously think about checking for that. Nav Sidhu, a spokesman for the team, was quoted:

"Somebody here is going to walk away with more than just a normal motor racing keepsake.

"I don't expect we are going to get it back at all but we were prepared for this otherwise we would never have done it."

'Yeah, we knew we would probably lose it..." Wow. Way to sound like it was all planned. How do you prepare to lose a $200,000 diamond anyway? Once again we are shown that Murphy's Law is the defining rule of our existence.

Bushwhacked!

By popular demand(namely my cousin Brayden) I have finally got an audio file on my site that was made by splicing different parts of GW's State of the Union address. It's pretty funny whether or not you love him.

Audio File

Check out this audio file. It's a skit I did about same sex marriages. I actually played this during a presentation in my Ethics and Values class. I got an A. Sweet huh. I came up with the idea while thinking about how cool it would be to see a secret underground network of people trying to assassinate each other. enjoy.

My Lost Picture

So I found this picture on the Theatre site of my old university. It was from a play I did called Swimmers. Just thought you'd find it interesting. It's not everyday you see a cowboy with a sailer hat.

Art, School, and Wedding Plans

At Timpview were I work, they've been having an art show that just finished today. It featured numerous pieces done by the High School students. I have to say that I was very impressed with the talent these kids have. One student even built a wooden king-size bed! I feel that my abilities as an artist hardly compare with some of those pieces that I saw at the show.

I started taking my TV math class this week. Basically how it works is I watch the lectures on a VHS tape and then I take tests. It's pretty good so far, except that I have to sit at a TV with headphones on in the library listening to a math professor that I can't even ask questions. We'll see how that goes.

I think me and Summer are pretty much done with most of the wedding plans. We(Summer) picked out our invitations and so we just have to go through the grueling process of addressing them and licking them and sending them. I'm reminded of that Seinfeld episode where Susan licks all those envelopes with the toxic glue and dies. I'll just make sure that Summer and I have a number for poison control handy.

So out of shape!

I can't believe how out of shape I am. Some would argue that being to health conscious is a waste of time, and usually I would agree with them. But, here I am, 23, and I get winded walking up my own stairs. That's pretty sad.

I went and played ultimate frisbee today and I almost died, again. I really need to just keep at it. Eventually I'll start to feel normal instead of like a fat lard.

Other Engagement Photo

Here's the other picture that we're probably going to use for the invites. If it looks kinda funny that's because I had to shrink it down some. Just click on the picture to get the full size image.

My First Screenplay

So I've been going to this screenwriting class that's being given by John Moyer. If you don't know who he is, he's the guy that wrote The Singles Ward, The R.M., and The Home Teachers. He's also a very successful stand-up comedian.

So, in his class I'm working on developing my first screenplay and so far it's been going pretty good. I've got a lot of ideas now about how I want the story to be. I don't want to spoil anything just yet. So I'll keep everyone posted on how its going.

Engagement Photo

Well, here's on of the engagement photos that Summer and I are thinking about. It's this one and a colored one in the finals. Let me know what you think about it. I still have to scan the other so I'll try to get it ASAP. Jonathan did a great job. Some of the other photos are on his website as well.

Smart Ass Punks Beware!

So, I was leaving my work at Timpview High School and I got out about the same time as the students were going to lunch. There were kids walking everywhere so I had to drive pretty slowly to avoid hitting them.

As I was slowly moving down a lane in the parking lot I heard some light tapping coming from the back of my car. I looked in the rearview mirror only to see that a punk kid was walking behind my car and banging on the trunk. He obviously thought that he was very cool so I decided to put him in his place.

So I slammed on the brakes.

He, of course, was not paying attention and walked right into the back of my car. He was, like, "Owww, freak!" His friends and a bunch of girls nearby thought this rather amusing and began to laugh at him. I drove away very content indeed.

That'll teach him a lesson.

New Look!

Okay I'm using a different software to do Spencer Speaks so all the old posts are gone. I'll work on getting everything all fixed up so just bear with me.
