Mazda Zoom Zoom Live 2006


It looks like we're both scared! Josh went to the Mazda event too. It was fun trying to see who got better times. I think he got slightly better times than me because I drove first and he got to see the course as a passenger before his runs. This is a picture of us in the MAZDASPEED 6. It's a great handling sports sedan.

Here's a link to last year's Mazda Zoom Zoom Live with me driving the new MX-5.

Modified Miatas

The new MX-5 is a great handling car. It's perfect for autocrosses.

This year it seemed like they had a smaller budget than last year's event. There was less stuff to see and there was no free food. This year, we got to drive the MAZDASPEED 6's, which are suped up versions of the Mazda 6. Last year, I drove the new third generation MX-5 on the Challenge course.

I needed to beat the target time of 34.00 seconds. My time on my first and only run was 35.781 sec. I didn't want to get back in line and wait over an hour to prove myself. The lines are way too long at this event!

Here's the list of the best drivers at the event. Notice the fastest time was by a woman.

I went to the Mazda Zoom Zoom Live event this past Saturday, October 28, 2006 in Fontana. It was a fun driving experience. It was like a mini-autocross event that challenges drivers to beat the clock. Unfortunately for me, I need to improve my autocrossing skillz if I want to seriously compete. My illegal street racing techniques can only get me so far.

Rejection Hotline

This is for all you mean girls out there. If some loser jerk asks for your number, give them a number from the rejection hotline list. The jerkoff will think that you gave him your real number and when he calls it, the voice recording will inform him that he has been rejected. Ouch! What a burn!

Bear Meat

I just had bear meat over the weekend. One of Sarah's parents friends came back from a bear hunting trip and brought us some spoils of war. It tasted good. It tasted like deer meat. No, it didn't taste like chicken. Frog legs taste like chicken.

One of my life goals is to try and eat everything. I've tried a lot of different foods, but I think I still have a long ways to go. Fortunately for me, there's nothing I won't eat.

Australia Wants Me

I just got an email from someone regarding my longboarding videos. I feel honored that my skateboarding videos impressed a film maker enough to want to put them on his new tv show.

In his email he writes, "I want your longboard video[s] for our TV show (and any other good skate footage)

"My name is Sean Caveny and I’m the Co-Creator of the Australain [sic] Television show called “sk82death”. We are currently looking for skateboarding footage to fill our 3rd season.
sk82death (skate to death) has just finished its second season and has been the highest rating show on channel 31 Melbourne since our first episode. The show is also doing very well on TVS Sydney, Access 31 Perth and Adelaide and Bush Vision in South Australia, Recently winning the 2006 Antennae for best Camerawork, an estimated 1 million people watched season 2.
Season 3 will be streamed online internationally.
As I mentioned we are looking for footage to use in season 3. This presents a great opportunity for companies of ANY size to promote themselves and their product via their team riders. . .Sk82death often features montages of random mixed skating and amusing incidents, we’ll consider using anything dangerous, funny or disgusting."

I guess my videos can be described as "dangerous, funny or disgusting."

I haven't been terrorizing the streets on my skateboard in awhile. I guess I should make more bomb runs down hills again. I must do it for my fans in Australia.

Here's an example of one of my longboarding videos.

The Nun and her Bicycle

Sister Mary was riding her bicycle back to the Convent from the market. Everyone could hear her coming as she screamed, "Oh yes! God, yes!!!!" She seemed to be jumping up and down on her bike with tremendous joy.

Mother Theresa had had enough. She said, "Sister Mary, if you can't be quiet, then we're going to have to put the bike seat back on."

7 Jokes

1. A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

2. A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like"
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

3. A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
One little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

4. One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"


5. The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

6. A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted,
"Cause your feet ain't empty."

7. The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want God is watching the apples."
