A word from Timmy

I'm sorry that I haven't written in a while. I was going to write the day I got back,but I was overwhelmed with homework and tests. Anyway. Cancun was fantastic, it was so fun being with my Uncle, Mom and brother for a few days. Even though my uncle and I, wanted to play city of heroes. I loved Chichen Itza, it was my favorite. My Uncle and I did not follow our group, we just took loads of pictures. I wish were able to climb to the top of the temple. But being there was fantastic. The tour bus and the tour reminded me of our tour in New Zealand. I'm going to start saving for our next trip back to New Zealand. When I get a job. Hopefully it will be very soon. I'm so excited. I just finished reading The Silmarrilion, it was a very fascinating book. I loved it. I might state reading the Wheel of Time, recommended by my Uncle.
I'm doing good in school/ I've raised my grades, so that's very good. I'm so excited to see watchmen and Wolverine. I need to stay the night at my uncles. I miss doing that so much. But that's all for now, I'll be writing again soon. Tim

PS Sue ,, I have actually started to read Harry Potter. !

The Hobbit Fund

Seriously,,I'm thinking of starting a Hobbit fund, where people can donate or perhaps purchase a signed autographed picture of me in wardrobe, from The Hobbit. Anything that I can do to raise funds to get me to New Zealand and get in this movie! Anyone have ideas. I'll only entertain legal ones of course. I'll need enough to live over there for at least a year, while providing for my bills at home here. I really want to take a leave of absence from work, but cant if I cant afford to go. Bad Timing perhaps with this awful economy and many losing there jobs and homes. But dreams don't die in dark times, they grow stronger. So all ideas are welcome,, I have 9 months to get my act together,,,, Namarie Max

Cancun Day Three

Its raining,,, and hasnt stopped since 09:00, now the fighting and crabbiness begins. (Michelle an me) But Chichen Itza is planned for tomorrow, so we are looking forward to it.

Cancan Day 2-full day

Spent all day on the beach. I'm a sun god. Michelle and the boys look like Alaskans, in fact someone commented in the elevator on how pale they were. But everyone is afraid of sun poisoning, since Shelly had it last year. The Twins are loving the ocean. They have been in the water most of the day. The waves are so high. They cant get over the colors. I'm just trying to Chicago and work detox, havent read a page of my three books I brought, but I'm enjoying their excitement. Plenty of bikini babes, boobs and butts to watch .

Cancun Day One

Made it here safely, Thank You God. Plane ride wasnt so bad. Weather was warm and sunny. We walked around and got the lay of the land. and made it an early night. We were beat.
First impressions of Hotel, hate it. It smells in the hallways, And loads of young frat boys and tramps. Scream all day and all night. So far we have seen a naked man running, and a naked girl locked out of her room,,and 2 topless bathing beauties,, Spring break has never been so fun.!

Cancun

Booked our weekend for Cancun. Shelly and I, with the twins will be staying in the Oasis Beach All Inclusive 6 days. We leave on the 18th of Feb, arrive home 23 Feb. Fun in the sun and beach, I cant wait. Michelle and the boys are very excited. I'm hoping I like the hotel. Never stayed there before. But I've been feeling a little stressed out, so this will be a nice relaxing weekend. I'm looking forward to snorkeling, something they have never done, and maybe a day tour to maybe the ruins. I'm also excited about taking pictures, I haven't had the opportunity recently and cant wait to experiment some more. The twins agreed, with some arm twisting, to let me take pictures of them. I told them that I get one hour a day, no questions asked. lol. So I have my own Carlson Twins. So look here and Flickr, soon, Hopefully they will turn out beautifully. I'm sure they will,, I'll have beautiful beaches , and handsome models. Namarie

The Great Return

As you all know, I'm working toward my goal to become and extra in the Hobbit, which begins filming next year 2010. If I'm unable to take a year off of work and move there, then I'm going to go down at least a month and try to get into as many scenes as I can,. That's a given. BUT a few days ago, I signed the twins and I, up to a return to New Zealand !!!! December 2011. The Red Carpet tours ( the tour company we went on in 2006) is taking reservations, for their tour for December 2011, anticipating that like with the LOTR Premiers there will be an overwhelming response. They had over 160 people attending. They are giving everyone an option to reserve your seat, before then. After much mulling and pondering. I sent in my response. The Twins constantly talk of going back, and I knew we would someday, also, its 2 years away, exactly the same amount of time it took for me to raise the money last time,, Its Fate! Not to mention, the boys will be out of high school, 18 years old, and hopefully have jobs, so they can pay their own way. I do expect them to be attending College, but they should be on Christmas break then.. I wrote Vic and Raewyn James owners of Red Carpet Tours, explaining that IF I don't make it into the movie, then the next best thing would be to attend the premier. Tom is so excited he is already planning on a Tattoo!!! Stay tuned, this blog was created to document our trials and tribulations in getting there 2 years ago,, ( that long ago! wow!). I expect the boys to start writing for the blog again, Namarie Max
