Arise My Sun
Ugh I have felt so sluggish all day because I have been sick. I usually only get sick once every year or two so when i do its usually rough. Since I haven't been up to much today I decided to watch Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. It made me really excited to go to Shakespeare Festival this summer. Its one of my favorite things of the summer. I love seeing plays live.
I really hope I get over this soon!

get the cool shoe shine
Great song by the band of hores and truly amazing bike skill.
I had an amazing weekend in Utah. I got to play a few new disc golf courses and had a blast rock climbing with my brother. Im going to have to go back down soon for some more.

The Girl and the Robot
Such a beautiful song and a truly epic band. Sigur Ros can pump me up or inspire me on moment and make me cry the next. Not many groups can span the emotional spectrum as well as Sigur Ros can.
Today totally felt like summer and it made me so happy. I already have a good start on my chaco tan! Now for the rest of the body:) I am really ready for long days mild nights and tons of outdoor activity. Its going to be a good summer.....
Here are the lyrics to the song
Brosandi (smiling)
Hendumst í hringi (spinning in circles)
Höldumst í hendur (holding hands)
Allur heimurinn óskýr (the world is a blur)
nema þú stendur (except when you're standing)
Rennblautur (dripping wet)
Allur rennvotur (completly soaked)
Engin gúmmístígvél (no rubberboots)
Hlaupandi í okkur (running inside of us)
Vill springa út úr skel (wants to burst out of the shell)
Vindur í (wind in)
og útilykt ? af hárinu þínu (and the smell of your hair)
Ég lamdi eins fast og ég get (i hit as hard as i can)
með nefinu mínu (with my nose)
Hoppa í poll (jumping into a puddle)
Í engum stígvélum (wearing no boots)
Allur rennvotur (rennblautur) (completely soaked (dripping wet))
Í engum stígvélum (wearing no boots)
Og ég fæ blóðnasir (and i get a nosebleed)
En ég stend alltaf upp (but i'll always stand up again)
Og ég fæ blóðnasir (and i get a nosebleed)
En ég stend alltaf upp (but i'll always stand up again)

Our Bodies Get Bigger But Our Hearts Get Torn Up
Wow what a powerful song. It is just chalked full of emotion.
I had a pretty good day today, I played about three hours of basketball. Then i realized i suck so i left. When i got home i just chilled to some good tunes and helped my dad clean. I got to take some baseball pics today which was fun. I really love my camera for sports photography. It really is amazing and is just so much fun to play with.
Trust in the Music
Who turned the wind, cold and snow back on? I guess you have to take the good with the bad. So i bought a song today because i absolutely love it and i really wanna put it up here. Unfortunately my movie maker started pooping out on me or else i would upload a video with the song in it up on youtube. I guess ill have to find another way. Grrr so much frustration :)
I used to love this music video by Daft Punk. Its old school for sure but still good

Without Love I Wont Survive
So last night i bowled a 175 and that was the best I have ever bowled in my whole life! I usually bowl in the 120-130 range but have never done much better so i was really stoked to say the least. The weather has been so beautiful lately, its so nice to break the spell of winter. Im also really happy with some pictures got to take yesterday. I feel like I am making some improvement in my skills. I have a gigantic urge to take some environmental portraits since spring is so beautiful but it is hard to convince people to let me take pictures of them.
PS Incubus has a few extremely amazing songs
Cadbury Egg
Okay so this week I have total confidence that I will find a job. Im going to work really hard at it and I know that if I am diligent it should pay off eventually. I really want to break out of this rut that I feel like I am in. I feel enthusiastic that I will be able to. I can feel a good week coming on!

Easter Candy
Its a vibrant warm spring day, probably the pinnacle of perfection for Easter weather but I am in a really mellow mood today. Almost like my mood is stuck in winter. I really miss a few of my friends, I feel like Im in a rut, and I wish I was living in a different place right now. I think when I stay in one place for long enough I start to feel trapped. I want to run free, I want to see new things, I want to meet new people, and most of all I want to feel like I'm not wasting the best years of my life. I have no resposiblities and nothing tying me down, I need to run wild and free!

Golden Gray
Today when i was disc golfing i got harassed by a highly intoxicated homeless man. It was so sad to see the state he was in. You could tell had gone through some really hard trials and how truly unhappy he had become. It really broke my heart and made me wonder if he had any family. I wished i could help him in some way. The next time i go disc golfing i am going to look for him and if he is not drunk i want to take him to lunch so that i can hear his story.
On a lighter note, I had a really good weekend! I love bipolar spring weather, it makes everything seem so fresh and alive! Its also really fun for photography.

So I am really excited right now because I am going to try and make a Shoe Tree this weekend! I found a good location and enough of my friends are donating shoes to the cause that I think it really has a chance of catching on! Once everything gets rolling and we get some shoes in the tree I will put up a picture. Holy cow! Im just so excited. This is going to be EPIC!

Yellow Flower
I just had the best weekend I've had in a long time! Conference, taking pictures, and my grandmas 80th birthday all in two days. I know it doesn't sound extremely exciting but i really loved it. First off, general conference, it is always so motivating and uplifting to hear the words of the leaders of the church. They are such amazing human beings. It always makes me want to do so much more and be so much better in hopes that one day i might be a fraction of a man that the general authorities are.
I wont lie, I wasnt looking forward to my grandmas birthday but it was an awesome day. I got to see some of my extended family that i haven't seen in a while. I really love all of them. I couldn't ask to be part of a better family. Also my grandma is amazing!
All I need is a job and I would be doing just dandy :)

I want to live in Effington
Why cant people just do what makes them happy? I see so many people that underneath it all are just miserable because their actions are dictated by expectations of others. Whether trying to impress or just meet those expectations. Im not saying that there arent things that we do in life that we wont like but in the big scheme of things why would you ever do something that isnt making you happy in the long run. There is enough pain and strife in this world without these self inflicted wounds. Its just something I hate to see.....

The Cause and Effect of Living in Fear
I wish it was possible for me to write the music in my heart and soul in word form to truly describe my feelings right now. I am really conflicted in my views on the state of humanity right now. So I am just going to work it out as I go. There is so much hatred in this world right now. From countries at war over mere greed to individuals spreading rumors and saying malicious things just to try to build themselves up. It feels like gas being pumped into a canister and at some point its just going to explode engulfing us all in a filthy cloud of animosity.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not all doom and gloom. I usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt and have hope for humanity. At the times when I feel the worst about the affairs of society something usually happens that renews my faith in humankind. The most recent example is when I went up skiing the other day and accidentally left the lights of my old diesel truck on. After about five hours of skiing both of the batteries were completely drained. So I wandered around the parking lot and finally found someone to give me a jump. The guy was pretty impatient so after a few failed attempts I let him go on his way. I figured with all the people driving by someone else would stop in no time and help us out. Boy was I wrong, I watched person after person drive by for more then half an hour. Finally this nice guy in a beat up truck pulled up and asked I needed any help. I was relieved that someone finally stopped and that I didn't need to have someone in my family just drive up and get me. This man was probably one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. He stayed for over an hour after countless starting failures(its really hard to jump diesel trucks especially really old ones) until finally the truck started. He didn't get impatient and was a pleasure to be around which helped me out a lot because I was pretty worried that I wouldn't get it started. For the rest of the day my heart was just filled with joy because of this kind individual.
I truly believe he was an 'angel' and a blessing. Its times like these when I see people like this man that I have hope for the future, even though people like him seem to be the minority these days. It also inspires me to do the best I can to bless the life of someone else. I really don't want to miss out on an opportunity to really help someone out even though it may not be a big deal to me. As long as there is at least one good person out there I have hope for change however difficult it might be.

patience is just another word for getting old
Listening to- Hurt by Johnny Cash
I think I might permanently become a ski bum, and maybe not by choice. The job market here in the fair town of Boise, Idaho is pretty rough right now. It really hits home when you try to apply at a call center and they aren't hiring for the first time since they opened. So for the time being I will try to take advantage of this opportunity to do the things I love like skiing/snowboarding (depends on the day), working on my photography, and just being with my family.
You know the saying,"when it rains it pours"? Well then I guess that if its not pouring rain then you can't have any precipitation at all because the job market isn't the only thing giving me a struggle. The 'female market' seems also to be in a recession for me. It seems like it is pretty hard to find a decent girl here in Boise as well. All the singles wards seem to have double or triple as many guys than girls so its pretty slim picking there. In the summer the number of girls was much more plentiful but during the school year they all run of to one of the various BYU's which doesn't help me out right now. I'm not just trying to limit myself to Mormon girls either but most all of the other girls my age seem to drink or 'party' a lot which is a major turn off for me since I am not into that sort of lifestyle. Every time I meet a girl that seems like one I might be actually interested in it seems like they want nothing to do with me. Its just a tad bit frustrating right now. I mean golly gee, how hard is it to find a girl who is smart, a skier/snowboarder, that loves being active, attractive, loves the same shows I do, and is pretty much perfect? Well that wasn't quite serious but I just want some one that I feel good being around and have fun with. Maybe I am too greedy but you kinda have to be when looking for a girl. I'm not in too big of a rush for a serious relationship either I just want to live, learn, and have fun.
That's probably enough about that so on to the next frustration in my life right now. There is a nasty inversion right now and it hasn't snowed at Bogus Basin for two whole weeks. Basically the only time I see the sun is if I go up to the mountain to do some shredding. Its amazing how much the sunshine feels and lifts my spirits as opposed to the dirty, wet coldness of an inversion. The lack of snow is slowly killing me I think. Without pow pow to shred I am forced to beat myself up in the terrain park. Ive come to terms that the more time I spend in the terrain park the more likely I am to be seriously injured. Its just not a healthy place no matter how fun it is.
I know this is a lot of complaining but I really am happy. Whenever I need a boost I just lean on the Lord and his infinite wisdom and comfort. I know that I will always have that as long as I continue to do the things that are right. Also I want to write more so that's my goal for February. Until next time....Shred the gnar!

The Sun is Jealous of the Way You Shine
There isn't much more I can say about this holiday season except it has been magnificent! Lots of family, friends, food, and just a bunch of general merry making. From skiing at Bogus Basin to being pulled around on a plastic snowboard behind my van, there hasn't been a dull moment!
So this morning I awoke early because it was supposed to snow last night and I wanted to check the snow report. I was excited when I saw that there were five new inches and it was still snowing so I sent a text to my friends to see if any of them wanted to go up the mountain. Jake said he was down since he didn't have to work and within the hour we were on our way up to the Bogus Basin. We got there around eleven o'clock a.m. and headed up to our run on the south face. The snow was untouched since there is no lift that covers that part of the mountain. Its technically a double black diamond because there are big rocks and hazards all over but that's what makes it fun.
Our first run down was pretty much perfect and I found a rock with about a six foot drop to jump off. It felt really good and looked really cool so Jake wanted to get it on video. So on our second run Jake went first and I waited about thirty seconds after he went and hit it myself. When I landed I couldn't see Jake so I figured he just finished the run and I would just meet him at the bottom. After I got to the bottom I still couldn't find my buddy so I waited, and waited. About twenty minutes later I gave him a call just to find out he had hit a tree and might have broken his leg.
I met him at the ski patrol building and he was in some serious pain so he gave me the car keys so I could bring the car around and we went home. I was a little bummed because it was such a perfect snow day and it sucked that Jake was injured. Its okay though at least I have a season pass so I am sure there will still be some fluffy days in the season yet.
Right now I am feeling hopeful for the future and what it will bring. I hope to start my photography off a little more once I get my 40D back.
