It’s the little things that mean so much
As I was getting lost in a complete computer nerd zone while typing away on my laptop last weekend, Stephanie surprised me with a homemade display of her love for yours truly(as shown above). It shows not only her love for me, but her love for the warm weather of Spring as well. It was actually over 60 degrees for the first time in months, but Indiana quickly reminded us that we’re not out of Winter yet with an awesomely bad ice storm today. Yay for living in the Midwest.
Chewing on balloons is ill-advised
The United Way’s Night at the Oscars that Stephanie and I rocked out about a week and a half ago was an amazing night filled with open bars, paparazzi and balloon chewing. See exactly what I mean in the video below or check it out over here on YouTube.
Radio Radio, WITT and smacking your friends in the face with culture
In just a few short weeks you can all probably begin to see that Stephanie and I are all about getting plugged into different types of things all over this great city of ours. As many of our friends continue to do the Tour de’ Broad Ripple every time they go out in search of cheap drink specials and Top 40 playing DJs, Stephanie and I have totally gone the other direction and have tried to experience things that aren’t so, ummm how do you say it, mainstream?
Since I can remember I have always done my best to bounce from one of these worlds to the other, which has not only given me a great & unique perspective of what all Indianapolis has to offer, but it has also allowed me to meet some amazing individuals along the way. Now I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with doing the same ‘ol same ‘ol sometimes, but I am just simply stating that it can be fun, exciting and enjoyably uncomfortable to sometime step out of the norm and to go check out something that’s fresh and exciting.
All of this thought has stemmed from Stephanie and I volunteering to emcee the fund raiser kick-off party for a soon-to-be-awesome public radio station here in Indy, WITT 91.9FM. As we were chatting with the organizers, bands and those who came out to support the cause that night we began to wonder why more of our other friends don’t get into events like the one we were having so much damn fun at. It blew our minds, really, but I must say that it doesn’t surprise me much. I mean, the cover was $7(all went to WITT), the drinks were more than $1.50 and the bar(Radio Radio in Fountain Square) isn’t on Meridian Street downtown or on the strip in Broad Ripple. I can’t be too disappointed though, it’s just how some people are I guess. But, from here on out I’m going to make even more of an effort to smack my friends in the face with some other great events like this one. There’s aways next time, right?
Also, here are a few pics from the WITT event on IndyMojo to check out when you have a few.
It’s been awhile…
That’s a pretty BIG “Yipee!” but I think it’s worth it. For several days our blog was just not working and there was fear that it might possibly be lost forever… but have no fear, the internet prevailed and we now have our wonderful little blog back and ready for action!
We’ve had several adventures this past week which kept us pretty busy. I wouldn’t have it any other way though, the experiences and opportunities that Ryan and I have had are sooooo awesome, I wouldn’t trade a wink of sleep or restful day for any of them! This past friday we emceed an event for a local radio station fundraiser and had an amazing time. I love doing stuff like that in the community and we hope to do many more together! Not too many couples do the whole emcee gig so we’re hoping to cover some ground doing this sort of thing in the upcoming months:) We knocked out a couple of great videos too.. like the one below from the polar plunge as well as another fabulous one from the night at the Oscars.
Changing gears here, but today was yet another installment of the crazy house saga that I work at. I absolutely LOVE going to this house to work with the little boy because I get at least a good hour of quality drama/sex/crazy/completely off-the-wall chat time with the mother every day:) Today’s topic…. male genitalia and the difference between white men(not pretty) and black men (”pretty”) Now, the mother used the word “pretty” to describe this masterpiece of the male body….?? Keep in mind that her side of the story is always very partial to the African American race due to the fact that she ONLY dates black men. 
So that was what our conversation centered around for the remainder of the afternoon… intriguing.. I know… I can no longer be surprised in my life. Every day is such a crazy adventure that I’ll welcome almost anything that comes my way… now all of you will have the joy of reading about it!
Polar Plunge 2008: A full day of freezin’ and fun
Stephanie and I finally decided to stay in for a night for once in our lives so that we could attempt to get a little bit of cleaning and work done. Well, Amazingly we actually accomplished both - I finished up two awesome videos that we’ve both been anxious to get put together and Stephanie graciously cleaned some dishes that were basically piled to the ceiling and making my condo smell like….ummm, well like something that you wouldn’t want a condo to smell like. This was an exceptionally kind gesture by Stephanie due to the fact that none of the dishes were actually mine(I eat Subway every day and never cook) - they were all my roommate’s doing. What an amazing woman, eh? I guess that he owes her one.
I must admit, after emceeing an event together all Friday night for the new upcoming public radio station 91.9 WITT(video coming soon) Stephanie and I were completely content with just hanging in the condo for a night. Oh, and yes, we even got some videos done for all of you to check out. Here is one that covers the entire day of the Polar Plunge that we participated for with our Team Brrrr from IndyMojo.com.
Check out the video over here on YouTube if you can’t see it below.
