Yoshi

bored as usual at work... looking forward to tomorrow tho...going hunting....bow hunting to be exact. I know...most people on this site prob wouldnt find it fun to sit in the freezing cold all day not making a sound then trying to impale a 4 legged woodland creature with a razor blade tipped arrow tavelling over 250 feet per second...but what the hell right? _________________________________________ this space for rent.

Thanks... Ive always tried to outdo myself.... I know its a bit off subject, but here is the story of how I proposed...It may give you some ideas too for a christmas gift My fiance was coming home from school, and we were getting ready to head out to my work christmas party at a fairly ritzy restaurant in houston...(last year)...when she got home I was already dressed and in a suit (looking pretty dapper if I may say so myself) I had her take a seat on the couch and told her she could not move...she had to stay on the couch for a minute... I then got my old PC1 camera and told her to video (damn piece of crap only messed up on like 2 skydiving videos but had to NOT work that night...sooo pissed off about that still) I digress... so she is sitting there on the couch and I pulled a ring box out of my pocket... I said by now I am sure you have figured out what I am going to say, but I promise you in a few minutes you will have never imagined it would happen like this.... I walked a little closer and opened the box and turned it toward her...to her surprise there was NO RING inside! but a piece of paper that I folded into a rose... I took the rose out and told her it was magical and was made of memories...then I started tlaking about our first date when we went to galveston and went off roading in my jeep...blah blah blah... all the while I was now holding the paper rose... I then spoke of our first dance on the beach that night and as I said "when we danced I felt lighter than air" I levitated the paper rose in between us.... I kept it levitated and motioned my arms all around it to show there were no strings, etc... I made the paper rose dance in mid air with a wiggle of my finger.... after a few I grabbed the rose and unfloded it. I then spoke, again, of how it was made of memories and was about to create one of its own. after I unfolded the paper I pulled my favorite Mont Blanc pen out of my pocket and drew an image of a ring on the paper... she was a little puzzled, but I assured her that the ring I drew would materialize. I took my pen and shoved it through the paper through the image of the ring... so I was then holding the pen as it penetrated the paper right through the image of the ring and pulled out a lighter...I lit the paper on fire and POOF! in a great big ball of flame the paper was gone and noting but her diamond engagement ring was hanging from the pen right where the image was drawn.... then I took a knee..and the rest is history :):) I had always been into illusions and slight of hand and I "made" that illusion up for the proposal... it took quite a bit of thinking and putting puzzle pieces together to get it all to work...but it was definitely one that will go down in the books _________________________________________ this space for rent.

I learned how to drive in snow and ice and moved to Houston....I lived there for 6 years and recently moved back to the MidWest.... It snowed last week and while it was only about 1-2" my fiance was a complete wreck about driving....It was only like the 2nd time she had ever even seen snow on the ground, and the thought of driving in it was too much to handle...anyways I ended up driving her to school and waiting for her and driving home... I did stop in a nice big parking lot on the way home for about 30 minutes of donuts and showing her how to regain control in a spinning car... she did well too... after about 15 minutes I had her drifting in figure 8's around light poles :) _________________________________________ this space for rent.

hmmm wont be togather.... well you should grab that video camera off your helmet...and tape yourself just talking to her...or reading a really sweet poem... or video tape yourself making dinner and tell her that it will be ready for her the next time you see her... _________________________________________ this space for rent.

I would be Crap Bag and call my fiance Princess Consuella Bannana Hammock...(for those friends fans) Really.. Yoshi. My first name is really Kevin and middle is ...yoshi. I would change my first name to Yoshi... _________________________________________ this space for rent.

Ive always been a bit of a hopeless romantic... Grab your iPod and take her for a drive... find a really cool spot down town and take her dancing...just you two in a park, or in front of a cool building like a theatre... listening to the music on your iPod... One of my favs: Holding Back the Years by Simply Red... good slow dance song... Since that obviously would be hard for her to open on Christmas Morning... You can do a "coupon Book" (makes a good stocking stuffer at least)... Have all kinds of things on it... you clean her house... wash her car... favors (of your liking).. a dinner and a movie... rent a movie of your choice, rent a movie of her choice... if you want to make it a "gift card" you can throw in a shopping spree with you as her personal assistant (well at least to carry the bags and what not). I find that the regular jewelry or music or expensive chocolates or stuff that is "standard" is good, but if you make the gift original by adding your own little touch she will appreciate it even more... and probably give you that famous line "I have NEVER received anything like this before!" ok...im done...I jsut lovve christmas season! _________________________________________ this space for rent.

So skydiver Joe was always the last bunk mate at boogies because he snored so loudly it sounded like a freight train was pulling into the station. Ever year at this particular boogie the other skydivers would draw straws who would bunk with him... John drew the short straw the first night and the next morning at breakfeast he had bloodshot eyes, hair all a mess (and yes it was worse than the normal bloodshot eyes and messy hair than the rest of the skydivers)... when asked about his night he said it was horrible! he sat up all night just watching Joe snore as he was amazed that Joe didnt wake himself and didnt get a wink of sleep all night the second night Frank drew the short straw and the next morning was very similar...when asked about the night (with his super bloodshot eyes and messy hair) he spoke of how disturbing it was that someone could snore that loudly.. on the third night Eli drew the short straw...he was 6'5" 240lbs monster of a marathon hop-n-pop-er... The next morning Eli came to breakfeast bright eyed and bushy tailed completely refreshed by a great night's sleep... John (the snorer) however came to the breakfeast table with bloodshot eyes, messy hair and complaining of ot getting a wink When the rest of the skydivers asked Eli about the night and how he was able to get any sleep he replied...Well after hearing your stories right before lights out I went over to John, kissed him on the cheek, pulled his covers up and winked at him...and he stayed up all night watching me! _________________________________________ this space for rent.

that reminds me... so this little boy and his father were walking through the park and look over to see two dogs going at it...just humping away. The little boy had a puzzled look on his face and asked dad "what are those dogs doing?" Dad kindly looked at his son and said...well son when two dogs love eachother very much they dance like that so they can have puppies... later that night the little boy was sound asleep when he woke and had to go to the potty...as he walked down the hall passing his parents room he noticed they were "wrestleing" int he bed...the parents notice him standing in the doorway with a very puzzled look on his face... his dad said I have this...to his mom and went to talk to the boy. the boy asked again...daddy...what were you two doing? dad said..well, when two people love eachother very much we dance like that to make a baby...wouldnt you like to have a little brother or sister? the boy looked VERY puzzled at this point and dad asked...is there something you dont understand? the boy said...nah... but can you flip her over? I want a puppy! _________________________________________ this space for rent.

...As a matter of fact I do...with that same EXACT line, which unfortunately for you has never worked... ...why yes, Mr. Observant....I bet you get turned down a lot huh?... ...yeah... if only I could find some guy to do it in an original way... ...I'm Pregnant... wanna get married? _________________________________________ this space for rent.

ok...maybe cuz I dont watch the show... but the bird is not as bad as the word in my opinion.... _________________________________________ this space for rent.

flying helicopters is cool... an I would say more intense... I say flying a helicopter is to freeflying as flying a fixed wing is to belly flying :):) I only have 150 hours in a helicopter, but its all so fun! other things to top skydiving? watching my daughter be born skull luge (head first) flying a helicopter doing pirouettes while taxiing to a hangar doing 180 degree autorotations to hit an 8' spot (personally with a 95% success rate of hitting 8' spot on 180's) doing run on landings at night watching sparke fly off the hardened shoes on the helicopter skids at 40+knots _________________________________________ this space for rent.

should have also allowed multiple answers... I think being shot off an aircraft carrier and the shuttle trip would both be more intense... _________________________________________ this space for rent.

oh yeah... may want to check with local laws too... some places have laws against chains...studded tires, etc because they tend to tear up the road and cause costly repairs... if you are in an area with plowing and salt trucks it shouldnt be that bad... they usually plow after 2" or so... _________________________________________ this space for rent.

well... they are nice and all if you are looking for traction... I prefer bald tires, ice and a good hand lever e-brake for getting around in th snow... my dodge magnum (RWD) is pretty fun too _________________________________________ this space for rent.
