Hot Air Balloon Ride

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!
My business partner, Chris Tingom, came along (he rode in the other balloon) and he took a video of the experience, and a few photos. I took a video as well, but he beat me [...]

Litmus Test for Door to Door Sales

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Monday, October 22nd, 2007

If I ever get down on my luck, I’m totally going to start a business selling “No Soliciting” signs from door to door.
The way I see it, it’s practically a guaranteed sale…
“Sorry, we’re not interested in whatever you’re selling! In fact, we hate door to door sales people!”
“Well in that case, you’ll love this sign!”
The [...]

Wednesday and Rose Colored Glasses

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

Ok so it’s already Wednesday. I don’t know how though, because it feels like a Monday.
(Sunday. *blink*. Wednesday. “what? how’d that happen?”)

At any rate. Yeah. Mom and Summer came and visited the other night, which was cool. Summer is all excited about this guy she might marry. I, of course, am skeptical. I’m sorry, but if someone’s gonna marry my little (older) sister, he’d better be downright amazing. So they spent the better part of 2 hours trying to convince me that he was incredible, etc… But I’ll just have to see about that. They’re women so they probably just have rose colored glasses on (lucky for us mediocre guys when it works that way, huh? haha!).

On a side note, I finally broke down and ordered a digital camera. I used to have one of those Sony Cybershot 3.2 megapixel cameras but I never used it so I sold it on ebay for like $175 or something. Now I just bought a Sony Cybershot 4.1 megapixel camera off of ebay for around $150. See? Now that’s the way to do an upgrade! Assuming you’re willing to wait a year for the new model to drop in price, that is…

Fun stuff.

  4. jerxrok2 Says:

    Amelia, you are too funny. :)

  5. redbandanna Says:

    TOMMY!!!!!!! I’m gonna whop you.

    I wanted to announce it before YOU!

    Lol. Awesome. I guess my camera was to much for you to handle without immediately going online to buy your own! Just think! Now you can post your digital photography for us! ;)

  6. mchapin Says:

    Actually, it wasn’t really supposed to be “announced” yet because there is technically nothing to announce at this point other than a friendship that is looking to possibly be more at some point. :) Just my opinion…. :)

  7. redbandanna Says:

    Yes. This is true, Mel.

    I completely agree.

    *nods head*

  8. mchapin Says:

    LOL!

    Hey, I feel your pain. *I* wanted to be the first to tell the LJ world too if anything happened. Leave it up to Tommy to burst both our bubbles. hehe j/k I must say, though, that it’s not such a tragedy yet because we still have a lot of friends who don’t read Tommy’s journal….hehe

  9. tominator1983 Says:

    haha. sorry mel.

    *raises hand in triumph*

    I announced it first!

  10. mchapin Says:

    I love you too much to hold a grudge over this one. *hugs*

    My, aren’t we in silly moods today?

    How was work today? Sam said you didn’t go in until late! He seemed rather astonished.

  11. mchapin Says:

    Shhh! :)

  12. tominator1983 Says:

    I went in at 8:30. I don’t have to be there till 9:00.

  13. godmytreasure Says:

    There is no courtship yet…and there may not be….

    He sure is a nice guy, though. :)
    Ya’ll just pray, o.k.?

    I’ll be the one to announce it IF it happens!

    LOL

    Mom

  14. redbandanna Says:

    There are many friends that I have left (still) that don’t read Tommy’s LJ, so I can still shock everyone’s socks off (if I do it right).

  15. kewlsam1990 Says:

    yes I agree with you they definetly have rose clored glassas on. Ben is a weird guy if you saw any of his leters you’d agree with me.

  16. kewlsam1990 Says:

    lol

  17. kewlsam1990 Says:

    Ok then why were you in your car at 10:00 and then you were telling me that you had to check in or sign in or whatever it was.

  18. tominator1983 Says:

    I must have been moving my car (timed parking spots) while I was on break or something like that. dunno.

    Or maybe you just looked at the clock wrong. hah!

  19. kewlsam1990 Says:

    doubt it.
