"If the epcot ball started rolling, it could roll around the world."

In the words of Katie, just moments ago as she screamed at me over and over again to read her last post as I was trying to walk my poor dog, "What is that r word that means what Republicans say when Democrats say something?" Well, as stupid as that sentence sounds, knowing Katie for as long as I have, she was looking for rebuttal.

Well, Katie, here is your rebuttal.

May I just say, that the majority of what you said, is fairly accurate, which is a shock, I know. Please don't mistake this for me saying that even most things that come out of Katie's mouth are even close to being accurate. This is a far cry from the truth. It just so happens that this one time she may figured one thing out. And that is, that Katie and I seem to have delusions of grandeur with very little follow through. Oh well, such is life...well, our life.

Enough of talking about Katie actually articulating something properly, here is what she got wrong: Her lovely idiotic list.

First of all, I think Katie is the liar and exaggerator -- I had no such rabid rabbit. He did seem to enjoy biting people toward the end of his life, but that was all. So, in case anyone was wondering, my dad's fingers are all completely intact...unless he did something bizarre himself, like ignite a quarter stick of dynamite (true story) to simply blow it up, and end up with a lost finger.

Also, there are no Indian burial grounds under my house. Two times there happened to be ghostly type things that happened. That's all. Still unexplained, but whatever.

Frank being a deadbeat...yeah, okay. I'll give her that one too.

Aside from all of that, my addition to Katie's wonderful introduction would be that this blog is going to be great. We loved our travel blog, we just ran out of material -- with the road trip falling out of the picture and all. Luckily we realized that we don't even need to be on the same end of the country, which we currently are not (Me in Pittsburgh and Katie in Orlando), in order for us to have entertaining things to write about. We can be just as stupid apart as we are together. Epic, I know.

So, Katie and I will figure out our next blog topic and go from there. Good thing I'm done admittedly ignoring calls from her in order to finish my 20-page economics paper.

"It's only six or seven inches...is that okay?"

We are back!! Yes, I know many of you out there in the blog world were counting down the days, minutes, hours and even seconds till our miraculous return to cyberspace. Well the wait is over and the launch party is currently being planned...location...time....and people to be invited are later to be determined (except for George Clooney...after reading our previous blog about him funding our trip to Hawaii, we hooked him).

Alright, alright, enough with the nonsense. I know many of you are wondering why on earth we stopped writing our traveling blog...and started this one..over a year later and on the eve of the one year anniversary of our "historic road trip." The answer is pretty simple, we are Katie and Emily. We don't think things through, plain and simple. We are all about shoving the flag into the hole at the top of Mount Everest, but we are also a lot less about camping in pitch tents during blizzards and hiking in snow for days on end after years of training. We are more the type of hikers that need to be air recused 40 minutes into the trip.

The things we didn't think about were as follows:

1. Katie needed to live in Indiana, Pennsylvania over the summer to finishher last few classes in order to graduate from college.
2. Emily needed to work to support her low life boyfriend and "make house" in their hole in the wall apartment in the Hill District.
3. Katie had to move to Florida to further her career in the Hospitality Industry.
4. Emily had to take care of her rabid rabbit (this animal actually bit off her dad's finger)
5. Katie's windshield got hit by a rock on 422 by a stupid coal truck ...and you can't drive across the country with a cracked windshield...it's not safe!
6. Emily moved out of her apartment in the Hill District and bought a house that was built on and ancient native american burial ground (so most of the summer was spent with Emily ghost hunting and fighting off poltergeists) ..and houses cost $$$..even the ones that are built on burial grounds.

So with all these things going on in our lives..some of them productive and some of the...well just crazy (sorry Em), we decided that the road trip would just never happen. Actually come to think of it, it was never really a mutual decision. I'm pretty sure we just forgot about it.

Well "old memories die hard" because in our weekly phone conversation we started to talk about the pretty good following we had for the blog and how we should start another one, just about every day life. Sounds boring? Well it's not. Reason being we can assure you that your definition of everyday life and ours are different.

Emily and I pretty much argue about anything and everything. We often get others involved and are both extreme exaggerators and pathological liars. This blog will be the perfect showcase for our debates, both past and present. We can assure you that we both think we are right..even years later and after we were proved "wrong" by the other or a third party.

We hope that you enjoy our life lessons, we can assure you you will get the occasional chuckle and we encourage you to get actively involved!

Who do you agree with Emily or Katie?
