Happenings:

Another fun day at Brighton even though it seems like the storms keep skipping past the wasatch mtns. There's nothing like taking laps with your friends. It can make the most blah day at the mountain fun as hell. Ian Matteson updated his photoblog with a bunch of photos from the day so go look at them. Along with the goodtimes today i watch a really good documentary on Justice at my buddy Jeffs (Hot Noise) and it really showed how rowdy those dudes get.

more pictures from the day..

Video: Old times

I found this video lying around in my desk it's from summer of 2005 when i spent a month in NZ with Amy and Lyndon Sheehan. It was a great time and this short little video does it very little justice.
anyhow enjoy the star fade..

I dunno why but the video brings a big smile to my face whenever i watch it..

Happenings: Bike

Biking in the wind is one of my least favorite ways to ride my bike, and it was a windy day today. I don't mind riding in rain or snow but wind kills me. I hopped on my bike anyways to check on Bigs and Cash my sister Helens boston terriers. Picked up some stuff along the way (handlebars) and it turned out pretty good. despite the wind.

Winter was good

But I got hurt and was out for eight months (as of last week)

So I read and stuff while in recovery (long ass time), but once that was over I saw some concerts and partied with friends. Summer started off great you could say.



I had to carry my buddy Brett to the car that night. maybe not I'm not sure..


Then my sister, Sam, and myself traveled a 15 hours to see Girl Talk and a whole mess of great bands like Fleet Foxes, Chromeo, DeVotchKa, U.S.E., Vampire Weekend, and a lot more that I can't remember.. I'm rambling.. (thanks Shelby White for the photos above/below)

go here for Girl Talk

Here is a picture of Sam being badass next to this robot we met.


Anyhow. I ran into some bad luck and my bicycle got stolen and got the opportunity to build a new one, which was sweet until i met Sean and we started getting in trouble with cars, first when a car turned into me minutes after the picture above was taken, and second when Sean's Blazer got smashed into by a race car driver that got lost and ended up in our Sean's bumper..

Got to hang out with these two a lot which was nice.

I scored this sweet new bike free from that accident I mentioned. So it wasn't all bad..


Brighton is opening soon. real soon. Obama is our president. Things are great. Booyah!
