Choklit Blog #16: How to deliver cookie dough... the illegal way

Yes, that's right, I'm blogging about cookie dough while all my friends are blogging about Obama and the election and things that actually matter. I'll get to that later... some day...

But anyway, I was out delivering cookie dough with Mike the other day, and we had to deliver some to a model house in our neighborhood.  We went there at 10 am and didn't bother looking at the sing with the office hours on it, so we didn't know it didn't open until 11. Well we parked, waked to the door, and went inside because it was unlocked just like it is when someone is actually there. No one was inside. I heard a buzzing sound, but I figured it was something unrelated, so I didn't pay much attention to it until it got really annoying. I asked Mike what it was, and he said it was the alarm. He didn't seem to care though, but we decided to leave before the cops got there. 

We delivered the rest of the cookie dough (which was all in other neighborhoods, thank goodness) and came back to see if anyone was there yet. We didn't get out of the car, because when we drove past we saw a police car parked next to the house. 

We went back home for a few minutes and then tried one more time, but when we came back there were no cars there at all and it was after 11 (this was when we saw the sign and realized the house wasn't supposed to be open the first time we were there), so we decided to just go back in a few hours.

A little later in the day, about 4, the guy who was working at the model house randomly decided to call and ask where the cookie dough was (kind of ironic that he should do this the same day we were delivering it... and right before we left the house!) Well since he knew our mom's name and didn't know mine or Mike's he called and asked for her, so of course, she explained to him about what had happened earlier and told him we would be there with the cookie dough in 15 minutes.

It turned out that someone else had been working there the night before, and when she left she turned on the alarm, but left the door unlocked. Then when we set it off that morning, the cops came and looked around but didn't see anything wrong and the guy was wondering all day what had happened. Then he suddenly decided he wanted something sweet and remembered the cookie dough he had ordered. He remembered our mom's name so he looked her up in the phonebook and called to see where it was, when she explained to him what had happened. Then he said it made his day because he would have a funny story to tell to his wife. And then... nothing eventful at all happened... *gasp*

Choklit Blog #15: It's (unfortunately) true...

So I was on Facebook yesterday, obviously, since I'm on Facebook everyday. I noticed that Rob Beckley (the lead singer of Pillar) was online, so I decided to ask him the question I had been meaning to ask for a few weeks now: Is Kalel really leaving Pillar? Well it turns out he is. I have no clue why, but Rob didn't seem too upset about it... in fact, when I said I would be sad to see Kalel go and I never thought he would leave, Rob said "No biggie. He wasn't the original bass player anyway. It was time to ask him to leave." Now I'm insanely curious as to what may have happened that made Rob ask him to leave...

Well I always thought Kalel was the original bassist, so I asked Rob who was. Rob was. I never knew he played bass! But he said he doesn't anymore, which is insanely sad cuz it's the best instrument ever. But I still think it's pretty cool that he started a rapcore band as the bassist/singer/rapper just like I almost did a few years ago. Actually, I guess I'm still trying to. I even told him about when my brothers and I almost started a rapcore band, and he said it sounds cool and we should. We can't though, cuz Mike stopped playing guitar and he hates anything that's not straight up hip-hop and we can't find another guitarist. But oh well... maybe one day. Or maybe not :p

But I still just have to know why Kalel is leaving the band! I mean, he was the bassist! The bassist is almost always the best member! Of course, in this case Rob is my favorite, but that's beside the point. It just made me think of when I found out that Joey Fife and Brad Noah had left Disciple. I saw a picture that someone from the KJ Board had taken with the band, and Joey and Brad weren't there. There were three guys I had never seen before too, so I asked who they were, only to find out that the band had three new members and my favorite one (Joey, the bassist) had left! It was insanely depressing, but I think I'm almost over it now. I mean, I didn't actually go into depression or anything... that would have been stupid.

It also reminded me of when Skwid (Aaron Tosti) left Hawk Nelson. I don't even know when I heard about it, but it was just before he left the band. I never really liked him very much and he had creepy looking hair, but when I found out he was leaving I was suddenly sad and decided I would miss him. Why? I have no clue.

But anyway, I'll miss Kalel a lot. Especially since he finally got around to cutting his hair! He's always pretty much been awesome and he has really cute kids (especially Kaden... he's adorable). 

KJ-52's bassist will be taking his place, so hopefully he's the business. But then again, he's with KJ so he's gotta be cool.

OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: I found 51 awesome pictures of my adorable doggy, Daisy / Gary said something intelligent in English class... shocking, I know / I made my brother a Facebook account and actually got him to use it / I won an autographed copy of a Yungtown album, and whenever I get it, I'll be the only person with an autographed copy of it / I made people bow to me (well technically that was last week...) / I played the most epic game of paintball ever and killed Justin / KEEP ROCKIN AND NEVER STOP --MC
