The McLintock Rodeo

You Seriously Just Did That?

I was just on Facebook, and there was post from a friend at my old school bragging that they had just hacked the school's internet and got onto facebook. I couldn't help but laugh. I looked on their friends list, and sure enough, they are friends with not only the dean of women, but the president of the school as well!

If you're going to try to do something you're not, keep your trap shut until WELL AFTER you got away with it! I mean, there's stuff I've done that I've yet to tell people about. It's nothing bad, just clean fun. In fact, I think I'll spill the beans now. It's been all too long.

• "borrowed" the dean of mens golf cart after school one time. drove to the lockers and back, parked it right where I picked it up.
• One time when my parents were out of town on a trip, my friend was up, and we were facebooking. He/she said they wanted some In-N-Out. I agreed. He/she ended up driving all the way out to my house (30 minutes from town), and brought me a chocolate milkshake at 1AM. We ended up hanging outside on the back deck just talking about stuff. We never did anything stupid, just sat, talked, and drank milkshakes.
• hacked the PC system myself at school. Downloaded 3 CD's and checked my facebook/twitter/Micechat.
• snuck out of the house a few times to go get a soda down at the 7-11.

Some people just don't get the fact that in order to get away with things, you need to keep your mouth shut.

The Tide's Are Changing...

Coincidentally, I decide to watch Pirates 3 tonight...after the film I check
Blue Sky Disney, and low and behold, Honor Hunter has an update...
this time, about the cast of Pirates Four. Great read on what to expect from the main characters. I can not wait to see yet another installment in this series, and if Disney ends up making a channel directed towards boys, I'd hope that they make a rather legitimate series on the tales of the boyish Jack Sparrow. But that's a long shot from now, and far reaching dreams.

Ridin' The Storm Out

Here's some shots of the weather today. It just all of a sudden hit us...pretty crazy.

What a Colorful Date

It's official. The wonderful World of Color is set to debut June 11th We all kind of figured it would, since the Nightastic events officially kick off that day. The summer fireworks show Magical will be above the skies at Disneyland, while the little sister park gets to have the new toy. Unfortunately, the Electrical Parade is not here this summer, as it's traveling across the nation to the swamplands of Florida to alleviate a small bit of stress of having a nighttime parade, and the WoC. Crowds are still going to be a problem though, and Disney's going to have a lot of fun playing "Cattle herd" with 9,000+ guests cramming in Paradise Park and Paradise Pier to see this aquatic wonder. Here's hoping they can find the best possible way to work out moving people around before and after shows.

Out With the Rough, In With The Smooth...hopefully.

Looks like the Matterhorn is getting new trains. I took a quick shot of one (without realizing what it was) while in line last Saturday, and last night, a photo leaked of one on the track untarped. The untarped photo is via @mousewait's Twitter, and the tarped photo is mine.

It looks like the new trains are going to be single seating, and have a lapbar. I personally like this, as I enjoy riding by myself for the most part. But for the people who love the intimacy of riding close to the ones they wish to protect against the yeti, well, they're going to be a little upset. Overall, they look really nice, and I can't wait to see if they help smooth out the rough patches on the ride.

The New (old) Park.

Went to Disneyland yesterday with the Family. Had a lot of fun, seeing that my old school's choir was in the area preforming, and then spending the rest of the day at Disneyland. First off, I had to walk back to the car to get my mom's phone, and the whole group was on the tram, and about 20 people screamed at me, and then my friend Ryan ran and gave me a pretty big hug. Gotta love that dude. The day was really fun, and I'm going to plan a trip sometime soon with a bunch of people to spend a FULL day down there, possibly from opening to closing. The group had to leave @ 7, so after they left, my family and I went over to DCA to check out the new stuff going on. Paradise Park is definitely going to be one of my favorite areas in the park. It officially opened today, except for the lowest tier (one closest to the water, with the wooden boardwalk). The overall area is just really nice, and mellow. The earthy brown tones of the groundwork, and the light structures, mixed with the green railings, and the soon-to-be lush vegitation growing in is going to be an awesome place to be.

World of Color Video

Laughing Place just posted an awesome, nearly full length show video of the Wonderful World of Color. You can see the video by clicking HERE
I really can't wait to see this show...

What a Day For a Day Dream...

I wrote this awhile back, while waiting for my table at a rather busy Chili's on a friday night. It just kinda came to me, and I started to save it as a draft on my phone. It's kind of a wish, and hope for love in the future to be something like this.


I miss the beach. I want to feel the cold pacific surround me as I get barreled.
I want that sticky feeling of dried saltwater, and my hair all a mess because I left my hat at home.
I want the smell of a great seafood place right off the beach, tempting me with it's salty, buttery aromas.

But, then, there's the girl.

The one riding the waves alongs side me.
The one running her fingers through my mop of what I call a hairstyle.
The one who's holding my hand, playing with my fingers as we walk up to that great seafood restaurant...all the while, me thinking, "why did she pick me, of all guys?"
The one girl who takes me 45 minutes to kiss her goodnight because we're talking too much..
..and then spending another three hours talking on the phone, until she falls alseep on the other end of the line.
This, is when I realize, life could not get any better.
