Enjoy.

I am so good...

I just realized today I am good at everything I do.
This is not an exageration I am really that awesome.
I seriously can not find a place were I am flawed.
I am good at boating. I did a 360 wakesurfing the other day.
I am way awesome at my job.
I am a safe driver, the safest I know.
And to top it all off, I am the most humble guy I know.

no subject

For those of you that haves not seen "Mr.Magoriums Wonder Emporium" it's an amazing movie and I suggest you all see it. This one line in particular really touched me at this current point and time.

"When King Lear dies in Act Five do you know what William Shakespeare has written? He’s written, He Dies.
That's all, nothing more. No fan fare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words.
The culmination of the most influential work of the dramatic literature is, He Dies. It takes Shakespeare’s genius to come up with, he dies.
And yet every time I read those two words I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria.
And I know its only natural to be sad, but not because of the words he dies, but because of the life we saw prior to the words.
I’ve lived all five of my acts Mahoney and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go.
I’m only asking that you turn the page. Continue reading. And let the next story begin.
And if anyone ever asks what became of me you relay my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple, and modest, he died."

I love you uncle bob, you led a great life... all five acts.

A Happy Fathers Day

Saturday night we got a call about boy in our ward who got lost in th Uintahs on a family camping trip. They were calling to organize a search party, me and dad volunteered and at three AM we headed out. We all met up at a grocery store close to the camping area and the parking lot looked like it was black Friday or something it was packed full of searchers. After a couple of hours of trudging through marshes, rockpiles and forest (Uintahs are really a search parties nightmare) a group in a FJ Cruiser (remember that, it's important) pulled up and waved us over and told us a horseback team just found the boy, I got on my walkie and got to inform the fellow searchers in the area, including the father of the boys discovery. Hearing everyones jubliant screams over the walkie was so amazing. When I saw the look on the boys fathers face as he held his son I knew that for him this would be the best fathers day ever!




PS. I got to ride in my dream car today.

I am Sloth Boy

I play the sloth... my big acting break (hahaha pun)

Three Wolf Moon

This shirt spurred heaps of hilarious comments an Amazon.com.

Here is one of my favorite comments. (Click on the picture to be linked to the page)

"This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark."

Audition

I have an audition this monday that I am real excited for.
I get to play an eccentric teenager, so basically I would play myself.
Besides that there isn't all that much going on with me...

Oh if you didn't know, I work at a boading school called Daniels Academy

"This has been a Marshal update with Marshal Davis!"

Note To Self:

I am not as limber as Parker,

(scraped wrist)

as agile as Parker,

(scraped elbow)

as graceful or as young as Parker,

(cut foot)

but...I can still appreciate the little things.

(big moth)

...Note To Self: Just cuz Parker can jump/climb up the deck when he gets locked out, doesn't mean I can

Wedding Rings

I like these ones.

Freaking clever

This site was holding a contest...

For the best (speculative) design for new Blackberry phones. So I made this, I thought it was neat so I posted it here.

Wuddyah think?

True love is...

a seventy year old man, in camo short shorts, attending a group samba class full of middle aged woman.

Everything is Obesity's Fault

People now can not only blame their own health issues on "obesity" but can now blame the earths health issues on "obesity". I can no longer attend my "greenpeace" gatherings w/o hanging my head in shame. Chubbiness' acceptability is shrinking by the day (play on words?). So sad.

"THE rising number of fat people was yesterday blamed for global warming..."

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)

I posted this a long time ago on the old family blog. But no one commented on it so I am reposting it. This song just really gets me, I don't know why, but their is a lot of truth to just about everything he says in it.

Captain Cavatelli

That is my new nickname.
Cavatelli is my fav pasta. I made hundreds of these delectable pastas by hand for my birthday.
Then I invested in this handy machine.

Thats right. It makes the same tasty noodle in a fraction of the time.
This is a fraction of the pasta I made today.

Now don't patronize me, cuz besides this the only things I know how to cook are Hot Pockets and Cereal, and I don't even get that right half the time. Sometimes I poor to much milk and it gets soggy to fast... you know what I mean?

Repair Keyboard... 0/140th of the cost: Check

Our MacBook Pro had a broken key on it, due to an individuals archaic repair, the the "Key Nipple" (an actual computer part term) was ripped off the key. I took it to the Apple Store expecting a quick and cheap repair. It was only a small piece of rubber that needed replacing right?
Wrong they told me it would cost $140 bucks. They would HAVE to replace the entire keyboard.
I went home and did this.

This is the broken key. Without a nipple.


This is a nipple I removed from a much older laptop, sitting on the razor blade I used to cut it out of the old laptop.


This is the new nipple (from the old laptop) placed in the hole left by the broken nipple.


Here is the delete key, re-installed over the replacement nipple.
The notion that they wanted me to replace the entire keyboard, a $140 expenditure, over maybe a ¢10 piece of rubber/silicon is absolutely ridiculous, and not to mention wasteful. I love Apple products and their software they continue to excel over all their competitors, but for a company that boasts "The Greenest Family of Notebooks" to be so wasteful is ridiculous.
Here is a video of the fully functional delete key in use.

Slurry of pictures

haha, i can just hear the asian guy sounding this out in his head as he put the letters in there..


live bait machine, i feel like this speaks for itself



after a long night of driving this scene was rather shocking, but once i realized this semi was being towed, i did the only safe thing and took a picture


I just found this scene funny, parker, portable dvd player, dog and a basket of vitamins...and parkers way tall.


The intersection of "Parker and Marsol". Thats probably as close as it gets.

Who needs terrorist?

If a couple birds is all it takes to bring down a plane, then who really needs terrorists. Seriously, am I the only one who see's this as a serious design flaw?

Lie To Me

This show is great, it's really informative.
It's on fox.
After a couple episodes I found myself watching people, and taking note of things I had seen on the show. This lady at the petshop totally lied when she told this guy that the most adorable english bulldog puppies shots where up to date.

I May Never Love Another

Title grabbed your attention didn't it. You probably all grabbed a waste basket just in case you needed to barf. Well let me release some of your tension, this is no cheesy, gross post about romantic blah blah blah.
This is about one boys love for the car he drove in High School. I know that as a young teenager I was rather spoiled, but I simply will never love another car. Someday I desire to own another "Polo Green 1994 BMW 740 iL". So many fond memories.
I have had the opportunity now to drive a ton of other cars, but none have left me feeling as safe, comfortable and young as I did behind that beautiful green monster.
One day it will be mine again.

Cold

So Cleveland is cold. I was walking to a job interview yesterday, and got "Frostnip" which is the step before frostbite, it was pretty painful, and I got a really bad headache. In other news, I am pretty sure I got the job, I just have to pass a test tomorrow and I am golden.

Though this was funny.

The Last Templar

There is this new NBC show called "The Last Templar" I know you all like posting your television recommendations, so here is mine. If you liked National Treasure or the Davinci Code, then you will love this show. I think it is somewhere in between those, though it does focus on the Templars and not the Masons. Anyways I have found it very clean, there was one crude remark at the very beginning of the show, but that is all I recall. The premier gets a little boring because it is two hours long, but as an hour long show I think it will be just fine.
Here is a url to watch it online so you will be ready for the next episode.

EDIT: THIS IS ACTUALLY A MOVIE NBC MADE THERE ARE ONLY TWO EPISODES, THE FINALE IS TONIGHT

Dumb and Dumber

Some guy was selling this on craigslist, I think it may be a joke. :[ To bad!
EDIT: They deleted it off craigslist. It was the 1984 Sheepdog
