1952

Man how i miss the year of 1952 look at the stud i was!! Man the good ol days haha.

Oh sweet the leemer ate it....

Well well here ye here ye its time for a new post from Garrett Longshanks who hails from Derbyshire! Alright i have no idea what that was but ugh well it did just happen. So i have no clue what to post but my sis is crying for another by your one and only Garootie Pootie! ( thanks for the nickname mom) SO what i have i been up to well to be honest I dont even know. I have been working and just became an official team trainer. I really like what i am doing i have never had a job so fun and also physical at the same time. Last weekend lesters boyfriend came up and we had one hell of a time gaming it up. We ... well i stayed up all night just so we could go into target and get Guitar Hero World Tour! It was pretty bad ass but we had a challenge of getting it. So we had this one lady and her daughter in front of us as we walked back to the electronics section at target. I had told him earlier a story about unsespected people buying your game. So continuing we watch the lady turn to were the bundle package is set up and she GRABS one from the shelf! But its for the 360 not his wii so we lucked out but i could see in Casey's eyes that he was going to thrown down and we would have had to whoop the lil girls and moms ass for that damn game lol but it didnt come to that. But i was ready to go if it came to that i am sure they would have put up a good fight but nothing that we couldnt handle. Thats all my exciting news. I have just been working getting trained on new stuff at work and loving life i couldnt be better. And who do you think would win in a fight.... a rabid chinchilla or a leemer? Do Work Son!! Oh and i think this Lemur looks like stewie griffin getting ready to take over the world.

My Poor Team

So i really have nothing to talk about but need to put a post up soooo. I figured i would talk about my all time favorite team .... you ready for this.......the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS!!!!! Yup thats right i live and die by this team. This year has been very painful to watch, good thing i only get one channel and the only game i have seen this year was last sunday on the tv that barely comes in picture. Looks like a salt and pepper fight on the screen.

For as long as i can remember I have loved this team. Through all the years of consistent no winning, getting close and than losing I have been there. And this year looks like a glimpse of the past. To bad its holmgrens last year i was really hoping it would be an amazing season and we could win him a superbowl.... cause we all know the Hawks got the short end of the stick in that superbowl.

On the bright side I will continue to wear my seahawks gear through the year and every sunday to support the team live for. We have so many talented players great coaching that it should be better than this but it is what it is and we have to take what we can sooo far this year thats 1 win! But either way i will always love this team thats why i have dedicated to having 55 kids so that i can name each kid after every player on the roster........? Ok wtf that would be a lil far and im not that insane lol. I will only name my first kid Blitz after the mascot ... ok i lied im not doing that either haha.

Finding Garrett

Well its time for a new post since my sis gets bored of reading my old ones. You all know i am in Montana and loving it. But i believe i have finally and truly found myself. My self confidence grows more every day. All this time all this searching, all this wondering where did i lose myself, all this self doubt has led me to were i am at now. Every mistake i made along the way helped me grow learn and expirience and bring me to being the man i am today. I believe i would make my grandpa proud.
So some big announcements I am thinking of what i am going to do for my future what i want to be when i grow up, what i will do to make a living for my family one day. I have have expirience in the electrician field and may go back. Later this week i am going to talk to my sister Alyssa's boyfriend Casey. He is going to give me some paper work and info on his apprenticeship program with the union. I am very excited about this because i am looking forward to my future and not dwelling on what was or is I am doing this for me and my future. It is about time i find what i want to do and go get it.
I love this quote and i am trying to live my life by it because i believe in it... ""Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." james dean" The sky is truly the limit for me I can do anything i put my mind to and one day it will pay off for me. But that is all i have for now so britt sit tight with everyone else and wait till my next post!

Grizzly watch 2008

So my buddy james and i have made a pact to grow winter beards. I am pretty excited about it since i already have a beard. I feel as if i have a wool sweater on my face which is nice cause its warm but my god can it get itchy! The other condition is that we cant cut are hair all winter as well so the shaggy hair will be back in full force i have a ways to work on that but thats alright. I will post some pics of the beard growth every month or so... just to update my progress and hopefully if i get lost people will remember what i look like. Cause most likely i may end up looking like Grizzly Adams or Forest Gump when he went on his running stint. So much excitment for looking like a nice dressing transiat! I cant spell that so sorry. This winter will also be bringing some fun! such as snow mobiling, snow shoeing, and naked runs through the woods! yes i said naked i often run through the woods naked jumping out onto roads or highways making people think they saw the ever so clever hiding Big foot. But since it will be winter i can pretend to be the Yeti .... except a shaved yeti cause im not that damn hairy nor do i have white hair. SO till the next time cheerio!

My Family

Well for some reason i feel compelled to write about my family dont know why but i have been thinking about my family alot. My family means the world to me more than ever and i feel more love for all of them than i can ever remember. This family has gone through so much and we all have turned out so good. WE are all so caring and loving and just very big hearts. I believe this is because of our mother Cynthia. Our mom is so incredibly sweet and beautiful. She is one of my biggest role models in my life and i believe in all of our lives. She is so soft spoken and ditzy lol. She has a heart of gold and doesnt think bad about anyone and is always there for her kids. She does so many little things for all of us and its so hard not to smile when mom comes walking into a room. My mom is my hero and the woman i love most not just because i was the coolest baby and was first born lol j/k guys. I believe my mom is an angel and i could never have picked a better person to be my mother she has been the light through all of our dark times in our lives. Who is next oh yeah Brittany but i just call her britt. One of my closest friends and greatest believers when i have felt like i had no one or no one believed in me britt was always there. She would always let me eat her food and do the craziest things to her and not get mad. Except for the time she kicked me in the balls.... and i cried cause she got me so good that i stopped breathing. Britt has the most perfect marriage i have ever known even though she says its not i still hope i can have what she has with danny. I could not have even picked a better man for her myself. Her two lil daughters make me laugh and smile when they start calling for uncle carrot! The love of a child is truly like none other because when you hold those girls your heart just melts away. Britt dealt alot with me through the years... such as being garrett's sister. Could not have been easy always hearing that and hey so what if i told every guy in school that if they tried to date her i would beat them up. Because if i wouldnt have she may hae never met danny so i am partially to thank for that lol j/k and britt and i will always be back seat buddies. On to Alyssa aka Lester i love lester soooo much she is so goofy and so damn stubborn just like me. So thats why we but heads sometimes but she is awesome. She is off to school in utah and making all her dreams come true. Also while keeping a great relationship with Casey her beau. I also could not have picked a better guy to put lester in her place lol Both my sisters i am so incredibly proud of and love so much.. guess its easy to say i love the women i have in my life they always brighten my day. Now for chris .. the baby of the family his alias is boo boo. Lol this kid has sooo many stories and you would have to hear them to understand. He is such a good guy and works so hard. I know he has looked up to me his whole life and i continue today to try and be a good example. It has been really nice being back around him cause we missed so much growing up in different states. My whole family our my bestfriends. Chris has a huge heart as well he is so caring and considerate of others and always willing to share he is always willing to give. II love giving him advice about life and he just takes it and makes it his own. And who can forget my grannyma! oh boy with out her this life would have been very very dull. there are way to many good stories to talk about to just give you one. She is so gruff but yet loving and caring at the same time and her cackle laugh always makes you laugh harder than you should and maybe sometimes even pee a lil :P j/k And now for the last person... our father Mark ... I could say lots but i will keep it at what i think. Our father has messed up alot and hasnt always been the dad he should have been. I idolezed him so much growing up, i wanted to be just like him even though thats not the same anymore I still love him more than ever. I know we all do, he is a good person and i know he cares about all of us. He will always be dad and no one can ever replace that.
Thats just a lil bit about my family... my rock of strength that i think of so much and how we all push eachother to better our selves. I would never change this family or anything about it for any reason. We are closer than ever even though we are so far spread out along the west lol. Just wanted to let you guys know I Love You all! And sorry about the pic its about the only one i could find with all of us lol.

Life Changes..

The more and more i think of my life the happier i become. I try to look at all my different expiriences and try to make sense of what was going on. What could i have done differently and why things worked out the way they did. This life has so many ups and downs and trials and tribulations. I believe we can make something good come from every expirience. Over the last year i have been able to come to terms with things that have affected me from my past. Once i was able to fogive those people i felt alot better. I have been working on feeling better about myself. I for some reason have always felt like i was worth nothing like i had nothing to give or offer anyone. But i realize i do i have had the opportunity to love two very beautiful women and even though i came out hurt in both instances. I realize that they saw something in me or else they would have never given me the time of day. I am who i am today because of all the relationships i have had the people i have met and everyone who has ever cared about me. Now its time for me to pick up and push forward find what i am looking for and take it. Its kind of humbling working where i do and not make much money. I look at it as something to keep me pushing i dont want to be working at target rest of my life but I work hard no matter what. I work hard for myself and to honor my grandpa. He was truly an amazing man and i am blessed for having had him involved in my life. I will never forget what my mom told me before he passed away...the thing he was most proud of in his life was his grandchildren. That still gives me chills everytime i think of it. I will forever strive to be the man that he was and is. where i am at right now in my life is just a stepping stone to better things to come.
