From PDX to NOMPTON and back to PDizzle...

What it do my ninjas! Please let me first start by apologizing to our visitors for our brief hiatus from our beloved blog. We all know you have been itching to see videos and what has been going on with the NomNomNompton boys. We have been quite busy and things have been chaotic but rest assured we've documented every moment of our interesting lives whether it be in L.A., NYC, PDX, Dallas or back home. But.....

Here's the scoop. I made a surprise visit to Nompton on August 2nd. It had been a month of me being banished to Portland before returning home for a visit. This trip turned out to be an exciting and successful surprise for everyone. No one knew I was flying into Oklahoma. Everyone believed that I wasn't to return until September. Little did they know, I was on a jet plane back to the flat, humid, hot but charming little state of Okiehoma, where you will find tipped cattle and horse carriages on the highways. I had my cousin swoop me up from the airport to drive me 20 miles to my front door. Of course, this is after I treated him to a 14oz ribeye steak at Cimarron Steak house for only $12.99. That includes a baked potato, salad and toast. This isn't a paid plug btw.. Just good, cheap Oklahoma meat.

Any who, I arrive to see Kevyboy and Jahnbobz' cars (just what I wanted), punch in the garage code, creeped quietly with my ninja like skills to the door, and open up to see no one in the living room. Hmm. that's interesting... I resume my creeper status to Jahn's room and say "Oo Oo! (mine and Jahn's thing)" And this is what I get.. A long, quiet stare from the both of them that literally lasted maybe 10 seconds, followed by a simultaneous, breathless shouting of "WHAT THE FUCK!! HOLY SHIT!! NO WAY!! WHAT THE CRAP!!! YOU LIAR!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?! WHAAAAAAT!!?!? DUDE!!! Got called a liar because I told Kevy I was on my way to Seattle that day. I guess they didn't know I was coming?? Hahaha. They were so surprised. Made my day to be welcomed back home with love. But... I thought too soon.. They followed up with an: "okay give us 20 more minutes, we are almost done with Star Craft." WTF? Picture Kevyboy on the floor with his laptop on a ghetto rigged desk made out of a box and sitting behind Jahn at a real desk playing SC2 together. Not loved after all, right? Following this we make a trip to In the Raw so that I can surprise roomie Cody, DrewJones and the crew. The faces on everyone was priceless, DrewJones stopped rolling to come give me a hug and upon seeing me, my general manager hugged the feces out of me and started crying her eyes out. Mission 2 was a success. I had many, many drinks to celebrate my brief return.

The next few days were a drunken blur. We did our thing and lived life like I never left. L2, ITR, spaghetti (for Kevy, which I burned because I was drunk when making it but they all still ate it. Kevy claims to have eaten 6 portions of it one night after I had returned home to PDX), drunken nights at home, dabbled in some murder, a little bit of jerking and the dougie, and the usual funzies we like to partake in. And I'm off to Portland again after JahnBobz, Lez and I dined on some catfish at the Steak and Catfish Barn where Man Vs. Food conquered 29 pieces of catfish. We barely put a dent in our 5 piece. We ate two at most. I wanted to make another surprise visit the next week for DrewJones' surprise bday party but my pockets were dry.

I'm back in the green, mountainous, cool climate state of Oregon again. I've been working a crap ton as usual. Had an informational interview with Wieden+Kennedy, spoke with a freelancer in Portland who may have a job for me soon I hope and now I have another gig for a new west coast blog I will be designing for a friend. I've also been hanging with a special someone... This is a cliffhanger btw.. You can't find out who it is until I'm ready to let you know.. Gotta keep this intense and interesting right? But I'm sure a few of you may already know. Things are looking good though. I like this girl. A lot.. Oo! Oo!

I really haven't even left OK though. I feel right at home since I've been skyping and iChating with Kevy, Jahn and Cody nearly every night. Has anyone ever played Power Hour on skype with people in 3 different locations? Well, we have and it was a ton of fun. Well, I believe that is it for now. I will be returning to OK for 6 weeks on September 4th to make it just in time for OU Football game number one, labor day and most importantly my birthday. A quarter of a century old!! I will resume my position as DJ Sashimi at ITR on September 7th and ending it officially on October 14th (may be sooner if I am offered a position in PDX). So come get your Prince, Princess, Manhattan, C-4, Sunrise, and any chef choices you are in dire need of. I miss you all and will miss you even more when I am gone. Love you all much and see you soon! We will have the HAPS part Trois up soon but for now enjoy the photo dump... -Cheff Jeff
