The Facial Hair Experiment...2 weeks.

Ok well, it's been two weeks and I've had some considerable trouble with my facial hair. I try really hard to keep it neat and trimmed but you have absolutely NO idea how difficult it is to keep it clean. I accidentally trimmed one side of the stache and not he other so I had to even that out WHICH IS A PAIN CUZ THAT PART OF MY FACE GROWS THE SLOWEST! Gah, one more week I think. I dont know, alot of my friends like it, and quoting a certain friend "I expect the men in my life to have facial hair.". Maybe I dont want to fall in line you know what I'm saying? It is a pain in the padded butt to maintain head hair and face hair at the same time! But it does look kinda good dont it? I dont know to me it doesnt look a whole lot different from a week ago

Day at the Beach.

SOOOOOOOOOOO I spent memorial day weekend at Pineview Lake. It was interesting. I never even got in the water. It was sunny everywhere but Pineview. Ironically, it got sunny just as we were leaving. I know crazy right? SOMEONE upstairs is having a laugh at our expense :P I'm just kidding, it was actually kinda fun just layin' out and eating junk food. We found out that Sea Gulls dont like sweets...go figure they like everything but simple sugars. Go figure. Ah anyway, The sun made a few guest appearences and I tried my best to take advantage of them, but it was mostly cloudy. I spent a good chunk of the time chattin with my mum about what I want in a future wife, lucky for me I've had PLENTY of practice in this sort of conversation. Hehe little does my mother know that Alex has this convo alot with the opposite sex hahaha! Just never thought mom would be interested till I got home from my Mish. Ah well to each his own I suppose. Since the hunstville cemetary is like right next the lake, we decided to go to the grave site of my great great great grandpa Heder (Johannes olafson Heder)He was one of the first to settle huntsville and it was cool to go see his grave site.. We visited the Huntsville memorial after that and lo and behold his name was printed there as well! As well has his son's. Go figure. Good day I think

Looooooooong Conversation....

So yesterday Night I broke my record of talking on the phone. It was at first about 2 1/2 hours but now, thanks to Jackie and our ability to talk for ever about random things, I've set a new personal record of 3 hours and 15 minutes! HAHA! We rock Jackie! In that span Jack probably learned a few things about me, we also re-named my guitar (Mary-Jane if you were curious) created a "how well do you know Alex Heder?" quiz, talked about summer plans and how Jack IS going to be married by 21 (I couldn't possibly know for sure because I'll probably be on my mission but I think I have it on pretty good authority that I am correct), and there were a few other things but we won't go into detail for the sake of keeping your attention. BUT...let it be known that 3 hours and 15 minutes is a personal best. HAHA!

Count Down....

Ok my cousin Marcie says counting down to things tends to keep you more sane when life is getting insane, and frankly she should know she's a kindegarten teacher and she's had one child of her own. She said counting down during her pregnancy helped her. So during this end of school year insanity i've decided to start counting down the last two weeks school, just for the shear fun of it, cuz I'm cool like that and you know it!
SOOOOOOOOO.....it is the 19th.....17 more days!

The Facial Hair Experiment...

Well I've never grown my "scruff"/"beard" (whatever it is i'm not sure) out to its fullest extent. Thus I recount my epic journey to a clean cut Go-tee. I decided from all the blogs I've seen that the random stuff is the most fun to read (funny how people are, we love violence, sex, scandel, and random stuff no-body gives a fiddler's fart about) So....this is my random post. Recounting the progression of my facial hair. I started last wednesday the 13th, and its been about a week. I'm going to show my progression every week until I either get bored of the hair on my face (due to tickling of my lips, people heckling, creating to much drag in the water, or it ceases to amuse me.) Lets see just how far it gets huh? NOW there is one teeny tiny requirement....YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME FEED BACK! Likes dislikes the whole shibang. DEAL!

Stop This Train

No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"

"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

(this is one of my favorite songs ever. Could it be any more true?)
