I trust you have heard the song Human by the Killers, and so you've probably wondered yourself or know someone who's wondered this question: Do they mean denser or dancer in the chorus? Personally I think its denser, because are we human, or are we dancer doesn't work!! So what do you think?? And why doesn't the composer of the song or any of the Killers come and clean this mess up?!
All in all, it was a good trip, but was WAY to short (being 1 mile), and as soon as I got home, I was whisked away by my dad, Christopher, Megan, and Allie for some truly sweat worthy basketball, Frisbee, and soccer. We all had fun frolicking about and trying to make penalties on each other by kicking the ball very, very hard. I was on the wrong end at the wrong time when my dad shot, and his kick knocked the wind out of me, and left my stomach very red where the ball had smashed jarringly into my stomach.
Today, with a large Palmer family in tow, we paraded into my dad's office for some hard core parading in the fashion of the Rose Parade. With my nifty camera I was able to capture most of the action, apart from Penn State (MALFUNCTION!! sorry!!), and here are some good highlights
And I am going to be mean to USC fans, and nice to Penn state fans by not publishing my USC pics and videos because I didn't get any for Penn State. But I must say, both schools put on quite a show. So instead I will show you one of my favorite floats that sang Who Let the Dogs out!?
This has been quite an interesting week and if you want a different accounting of the events that I have recorded today, then go to my sister's blog, because she has a different point of veiw, at least for the hike.
Anyway, onto other topics. How was every one's Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate along with the amazing new year?? Mine was GREAT!! full of random hiking exertions and fun workout sports. Not to mention the Rose Parade!!!
The hike was short, to say the least. But there were quite interesting monuments, including a log that was given rocks to look like a wolf. It was really quite convincing in real life, if you don't see it. We also found some strange rusting materials that agree not meant for a nature hike..
After agreeing that the waterfall was indeed a disappointment, we decided to scale large boulders to the top of the waterfall where Lauren innocently exclaimed that she had seen "a guy" do it easily and it was harmless. I'm glad no one got hurt. It turns out that this guy that she had seen was
a really good hiker, that was getting to a harder trail, that Lauren decided not to do after we got up there. I am glad to say (or am I?) that I've been through much worse that that. So after we scaled the rock and got up the top for nothing, we both agreed to not go that way down, to avoid broken bones. So we followed a supposed path, that abruptly ended near this gnarly looking tree, and we decided to go down. I was too steep for Lauren at parts so she sat down and got a black butt. It was interesting, but there were no spectacular views during the hike, but we certainly found a great view of Pasadena, the ocean, and LA. All in all, Lauren bonded, if not with me, than with a particularly smooth rock.

This has been quite an interesting week and if you want a different accounting of the events that I have recorded today, then go to my sister's blog, because she has a different point of veiw, at least for the hike.now on to the random but hilarous portion of the journey before we part until eather I write, or you read my blog. My beloved mother that deals with her children and ends up teasing them daily, or sings shoulda put a ring on it! in a strange fashion while sticking out her hand as if to show us her ring. As she sings these lines wrong, we cannot help but rolling our eyes while diverting them, and Lauren usually lets out a very girlish giggle while we try to explain to her that those are not the lines, you have never heard the song before so just stop singing that line, and you don't know what it means. Lauren will then occasionally spill out a remark like "the song's album name is 'for single women'". In those silences in between my mom singing off key and us trying to think of something that my mom won't find a reason to sing that line again (because she usually sings that fifty times a day), it is immpossible not to hear a very load hiccupe. The same goes for any silence, while puncuating a point, or akward silences. The reason, according to my mom, is that she gave birth to 'two toads'. Referencing to that fact that two of my sisters, Allie and Samantha have uncontrollable hiccupes that they have absolutely no control over and at random times in around twenty minute intervales hiccupe very loudly for all to hear. I usually am able to skip all these things that I have just discribed by spacing out and going my parallel dimensions in gratitude as I relive my fanatasies by using by trusty ipod, a good book, or just zone. I havn't been able to do it quite well as I was able to do when I had my concussion. I zone out and die for long stretches of time without realizing it, not that I wouldn't remember anyway. The only bad thing was that I couldn't control it at all.
Now I must leave you to ponder te things that I have shown or in other words reveilved unto you.
