The familia and myself were aboard a 28' Chris Craft boat heading home from the Bahamas. This is not an average boat you see cruising across the Atlantic, especially during a little storm known as Katrina.. that is, unless said boat is carrying drugs... which, rest assured, we were not. To make a long story short, the Coast Guard wouldn't even respond to our "Mayday" call, it was that bad. They did however wait for us to arrive on the first port we found so they could have all of the drug dogs in the state of FL search us. GOOD TIMES!<br /><br />14. <strong>Taught yourself an art from scratch</strong>- are friendship bracelets an art? I say yes<br /><br />15. <strong>Adopted a child</strong>- all of my four legged children are adopted<br /><br />16. <strong>Had food poisoning</strong>- damn you Pizza Hut!<br /><br />17.

Been in a movie - I'm still bitter about me and my sister not being cast to be an extra in the movie The Possums. I'm not sure if it even came out ever. Who doesn't get cast to be one of the thousands in a crowd at the football stadium?? I guess the self-portrait headshots we took on our staircase weren't Hollywood worthy.

Their website states it is impossible to fully justify their sound with words and I must agree. For starters, some lyrics cannot even be translated because they are sung in 'hopelandic'. This is a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. And for a little tidbit, they had a song that was featured at the end of the movie <em>Vanilla Sky.</em></div><div><em></em></div><div></div><div>Listen with an open mind, the music is different but it does grow on you.

I don't have Facebook or Myspace, only VeganWorld (but I seriously doubt you've ever heard of it) and I've never been a bloggist but considering my sister will probably be the only one reading this, I think I'm safe.<br /><br />The challenge with having a blog, to me, is simply having something to say. I don't have kids, I'm not a writer and I'm pretty much the only person that laughs at my jokes. Oh well.. at least I'll have something to look back on and make fun of myself for one day and it'll give my sister something to do when she is bored at work.<br /><br />My mother just got into town, she is taking me in for surgery tomorrow. I'm ready for my drugs now, PLEASE!!Tiffaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467703080283548694noreply@blogger.com1
