Casey Tyler/ Dax Parsons/ and nameless other nameless names

SO... Casey Tyler.... what/who/when/why/where.... What is Casey Tyler? Who is Casey Tyler? (that one's easy) When is Casey Tyler? Why Casey Tyler?? And just where is Casey Tyler??

Man, so many questions, so many answers, so little time. It all starts somewhere around 1997. Camp Pendleton, CA. 7th Motor Transportation Battalion. (7th Motors) Just trying to set the stage.

What is Casey Tyler? Answer: Code Name
Who is Casey Tyler? Answer: Bryan Simpkins
When is Casey Tyler? Answer: 1995-1999
Why Casey Tyler? Answer: Only Natural Light has that answer
Where is Casey Tyler? Answer: TEX-ASS!

Okay, enough of the sideways talk. The other day I got an email off a comment on this blog. From Casey Tyler. Haven't heard that name in 10 years! Casey Tyler (Who's real name is Bryan Simpkins) found me. How?? Think about it.... how many Mark Brown's do you suppose are in the United States?? Um... more than 3, for sure. Anyway, Bryan was my neighbor in the barracks. I lived in 303, and he lived next door. Lots of blurry memories around that time, but regardless.... a good friend. Great times were had at that barracks. Remember, this is where i met Heather. Well... Bryan's birthday is on New Years Eve.

He once said that everybody in this WORLD celebrates his birthday. Everyone is partying on his birthday. How can you not enjoy that???? Anyway, New Years 1998 we had a party at our apartment in Oceanside. A good one at that. Why bring that up??? Cause he brought it up first.

My guess is that now that Bryan has found me and we talked last night... he will be visiting this website. Good to fucking go! I'll introduce everyone to Simpkins here in a minute. I'm gonna attach his pic on here.

Anyway, Bryan, I'm glad you found me brother. I'm glad i have your contact number and I'm glad that Heather and I finally have somewhere to stay when we go to Texas! You've got somewhere to stay when you come to NC, my friend.

Anyway, this post is a SHOUT OUT! to Casey Tyler. A.K.A. Bryan Simpkins... I know that's backwards, but that's the point.

Happy Birthday Marine!! Semper Fi Brother

Happy New Year every one.

Talk to someone you haven't talked to in years. You'll make their day.

Later skaters!

Here is the Simpkins Family:

Christmas Shopping

This has been a pretty heavy task this year, to say the least. As the kids get older i find that shopping for them gets to be more of a BITCH! I mean, they get smarter, quicker, and dare i say just a little bit more ingenious. Their requests change daily on what they want. GREAT!!! But, i will say this, I've taken them all out to go shopping and it's been pretty damn fun, as well. Hayden's the only one who needs to get the younger ones anything. They hooked Heather up with gifts, so that's done. THey were pretty stoked about buying shit for Mom.

Now, that being said, I saw a great thing years ago from one of Heather's family members. We'll just call this family member, "Tim" Heuer. SO as not to let anyone know who I'm talking about. So, "Tim" Heuer goes out and buys himself all the cool shit he wants, and then he wraps it up and puts other peoples names on who it's from. Then puts that under the tree, and so without anyone knowing... they all bought "TIM" HEUER gifts!!! Fucking awesome idea. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. THANKS "TIM."

Why can't all Christmas shopping be like that??? Just buy what you want, put their names on it in the from column and be done with it. They're just as surprised to see what it is. It's a win, win, win.

Who knew that one of the Heuer clan would be such an innovator.

Been rocking out to the FOO FIGHTERS greatest hits CD this morning. Glad i bought it. I just didn't have the patience to keep it wrapped up and put under the tree....

Hmmmm... there's a flaw in this design.
