Adventures in Expiration
Of all the things to be pulled over twice in a year, no one would assume an expiration violation... the funny part is that both times were due to circumstances partly out of our control.
#1: We were on our way back to Frederick, MD from Hershey, PA after a rousing day at Hershey Park. Suddenly I see flashing lights. Long story short: The car we were driving was just purchased from my parents (I mean we bought it Sat. and left Sun. morning), and the inspection was out-of-date. I tried to explain the story in as pitiful a way as possible... but he wasn't buying.
Total damage: $85...
#2: Miriam returns home after a party... in a strange van. Apparently she had locked her keys in the trunk of her car so the party host allowed her to drive the van home. I then got to take the van back and pick up the car.
I was my normal paranoid self and was sticking to the Limit or under the whole way (about 20 minutes) Suddenly... flashing lights... ughhh... I explained the story of the locked up keys and asked politely why I was pulled over. He tells me that the registration was expired... and the inspection sticker was missing. All of that added up to a pretty penny in fines... Thankfully, this officer was very understanding and simply wrote a warning and a citation that could be written off assuming the vehicle was inspected and registered within the next 10 days. Best of all, no mark on my record!
Total damage (to me): $0 ![]()
So I'm here to tell you, if you're driving someone else's vehicle and something is expired on it... the police WILL find you! ![]()

Home Movies?

I know how EVERYONE loves to watch movies of each other's kids. Well soon you'll have the opportunity to do it anytime! Coming soon to a website near you!... (the website you are currently visiting... unless you're using a feedreader to read this...) Gabe's home videos!
(in the new VIDEOS section)
I've been putting this off because of the server space issues... but I figured "Why not?" If I run out of room, you'll gladly donate to the Gabe online video fund, right? Right?! ![]()
In the meantime, I've uploaded an amusing piece I found a while back. Watch while you can! (..cause it's coming down once I get the other vids ready.
)

The Archives

This is just a minor update. I've added an Archive page that lists all the additions to the site ordered from the most recent to the very first post. It's another way to browse through the short history of IamWallaman.com. Go check it out if you are interested. ![]()
BTW, I'm working on some random Flash projects that I'll reveal any time now... assuming I actually complete them.

Older... not necessarily wiser...

Somehow I thought getting older would give me better sense. I guess not...
Last night was the typical Men's Fellowship meeting: Bible study and basketball... only we found a pigskin hidden deep within the kitchen (don't ask me why) so we decided on a little two-hand touch. All was well and things wrapped up around 9:15pm. We were starting to make our way out of the building when one of the guys issued a quick challenge to stop him on a punt return... via tackle. Now considering this was on a linolium surface it was hardly safe but nonetheless, we couldn't resist. From what I remember, it was his second attempt (I got him good the first time around
) I was on his beat and then, I guess, lunged into him and took a crack to the head by his knee. No one was sure if it was the knee or the floor that put me out but I was clearly gone for a few moments. Details from there are sketchy. I was kinda like a computer during a reboot.
After a trip to the ER and a CT scan, it turns out I got a minor concussion and now I get to deal with about 75-80% lucidity, nasty headaches and a sore jaw for at least the next few days.
In summary, I have relearned, the hard way, that despite how tough you think you may be... the court is made for basketball and football was meant to be played with helmets. ![]()
(P.S. Please excuse me if I mispelled anything or if I'm not making any sense. I'm still not all here. I'll have to do all my corrections in a couple days.) ![]()
