First Halloween Costume

My friends invited me on short notice to a halloween party one night and I told them that I didn't have a costume. They told me that they would dress me up as a Twilight fan, so I told them that I would put my own spin on it and this is what I came up with. 

As far as who I would really choose. Hermione. Rosalie is soooo attractive but she has some serious anger issues and she's ice cold. She needs blood to survive and I would have to be related to Edward and Bella and nobody wants to be around that for more than an hour and half anyway. Hermione, beautiful, smart, modest, has magic powers, more or less human. He who must not be named isn't around anymore so there's no problem there. And our kids would be way too cool.

Ok....so after I looked online for some good pictures of them both I have concluded that I was a little too harsh on my girl Rosalie. I would date Nikki Reed over Emma Watson. Deciding factor? They both have tattoos but Nikki's is more "Hide-able" than Emma's. That and Emma's is worthy of a mug-blood. 

Mother lover?...common Griffindor Grad.

I couldn't resist. :)

Facebook Fast

               I like how people refer to a break from Facebook as a fast. I don't fully understand what they mean other than the fact that they are not going to have it for a while. But I know that fasting has a lot to do with answers to questions or clarification on things. Maybe even added strength for yourself or others. So how does Facebook fasting fit that description? I think that detachment from the world is a common factor in the equation. There is a lot of power that comes from saying "World. Go away." 'But what about your friends?!?!', You ask. "Or if someone wants to chat with you?? Or or if you get an important message or post?! Heaven forbid you get a friend request that goes unaddressed!?! or or ....well...." People. I'm going to tell you "Well, Nothing." Life will move on with or without you and Facebook. Your real friends will call or visit, and your potential love life will become a reality as you live in...Well, reality.

              So what do you expect from a fast? Or what do I think that I am going to accomplish by this? A little perspective, a little clarity and a little detachment from the 100% positive, eventful or 100% miserable complaining lives out there. I know this sounds a little negative but this is definitely a positive move ;)

 Not bad for a pocket knife, and ping-pong ball  eyes right? I like the bottom one best because it reminds me of one of the knockers on Labyrinth. eh? eh? 

 Jake is feeling loads better from his surgeries. This was the second day out of the hospital after being in there almost a month. We were at BreAnns house in Nampa. They bought this property with TONS of cool stuff on it. like a church, a mining town, and a large pond with waterfall and paddle boats.

 Cool huh? I guess they removed like 20 stone statues. This is the same girl that sang at Sarah's wedding.

 I love this costume. I have a picture of Bella and Cora in this one. Soooo stinkin cute.

A little mummy snacks at a halloween party I stopped by. I was dressed as a 5th year, very handsome I might add, wizard. Kenley has the only known pictures of me and my wand blowing leaves around in the yard. So hopefully those turn out good.

pumpkins and beards

So my first attempt to put these picture on here in any sort of order was thwarted by the sites very difficult picture placement.  

 Mom superglued her fingers together as she was, at the same time glueing my ripped pants together. She likes to keep my work pants looking good for all the shop guys as we all walk on our knees making boxes and packaging. She had googone close at hand because she is a skilled finger-ungluer.

 Here is my beard at 2 weeks. new record btw.

 I was going to do lighting chops buuut American Choppers came on and there were a pair of dark sunglasses on the counter and I couldnt resist. It only stayed on my face until my dad came home and could see it haha American Choppers was playing when he came in so it set it up nicely.

 This is the first pumpkin carving of the season for me. Done at my friend Richea's Apt. aka The Castle. I was going to get some pics of the inside of her place, because it has to be the coolest pad in down town Boise but it was the first time I was there and newbies taking pictures or your home is creepy in any state. Every year she throws a "Concert at the castle" event where she invites friends and a band to play a couple sets for everyone. This years band was a couple that would travel all over the world and sing folk music. They met at an "Honesty" convention where people practice speaking honestly to each other and about themselves. Very Earthy and down to...earth people who had actually been to Korea so we had a nice chat.

 This was Clayton's wedding cake! How cool is that. nuff said

 2nd and prize winning pumpkin my Friend Savanna and I carved at our Home Evening group.

 The knife was a good visual for us but the X-factor to our pumpkin wasn't even the tounge...but the saliva. Look closely

 Third pumpkin and, I believe, my most creative. Behold.

THE RED RING OF DEATH! DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH if you don't know what that is or why its so scary. Well look it up. red ring of death xbox 360.

Something good this way comes.

 Bella and her pumpkin. I think she named it pork chop

 We went golfing with Dad's Elders quorum today at Pierce park golf course. About 10 guys showed up and we played a classic scramble game.

 Jake came and didn't do too shabby! most of the shots that we took were within 5 feet of each other. We had a grand ol' time on a beautiful saturday morning. 

 I liked this shot because I got the ball in the shot as well. It's as the very top of the screen. 

 So after everyone left. Dad and I and two other guys stayed and played another 9 holes. Every hole was only about 80-100 yard par 3s. so all you really needed was a putter and a pitching wedge. So I pull out my sand wedge which puts the ball really high in the air but as a shorter distance than say your driver. There I was, lined up and perfectly poise. Take the shot and when we got up to the ball it was completely flush with the soggy grass! The way I was playing I wasn't too surprised the ball wanted some rest. ;) 

So lately I have had this pretty intense feeling that something great is on its way. It's helped me in a lot of ways, namely, when I am having a rough day and what not, I think to myself, "meh, its not so bad because something great is coming." what that something is, i really don't know but what I do know is that coupled with that feeling is a sense of urgency to prepare for whatever it is. Get smarter. Get stronger. Get kinder. Get more spiritually in tune...sometimes I  think that what I am feeling is what some people consider "hope" either for a better world or for better than now. But I'm pretty sure that it is more along the lines of the Lord telling me " Hey, get ready or else you wont enjoy what's coming the way you are meant to." definitely something to consider. 

Lumpy Space princess

OH MY HEART!!!

This is one of the funnest shows I have ever seen in my life. It's up there with Dexters lab, powerpuff girls, Sponge Bob Phineas and Ferb and Samuri Jack. This is an episode clip where Finn (the human) and his friends help boost the confidence of an army of cute creatures with the thirst for blood. Lumpy space princess makes me laugh so hard every time she is on so I picked my favorite clip that I quote daily haha "OH MY HEART!!!"

At the studio with Jake (Interstate)

 Jake called me up to come listen to his band "Interstate" as they recorded a few new tracks for their EP.  

 This is Matt, he was the guy in charge of the studio. A lot of the components and electrical stuff there, he made himself! It was pretty cool to see the different kinds of sound that he could digitally make. Not to mention his sweet lava lamps. 

 There's Kyle. He's the singer for Interstate and also the piano player. Interstate is doing pretty well and they have a concert scheduled for the 29th of September at the End Zone bar on University and Broadway at 8:00pm.

 The recording equipment was able to pick up every individual note on the piano so if Kyle hit a miss note, Matt could go in and delete that one note! I've never seen that before and it was really cool. Matt says it is different from auto-tuning to the extent that an instrument like a piano can be completely digital and a voice is just a raw sound wave. 

So there I was, on my way to this guys house and I was following a guys suburban. A cop car was waiting to turn and as soon as the sub and I were crossing his path his lights flipped on...the Sub and I quickly accelerated to the speed limit to give us some space from the cop car because he was stuck behind a another car. The sub and I's hearts were racing as we created a lot of distance. Fortunately I ducked into the neighborhood that I was suppose to and parked behind a big van. The sub was on his own. He was a marked car because he was a real ugly light green and had a bike rack on the back of his car. Not to many of those around. Mine, was a silver honda accord haha. As I was sitting there, hoping the police wouldn't round the corner, I realized, I didn't DO anything wrong... that just seemed to be the way that I naturally reacted because his lights turning on. crazy I know. I talked to Kyle about it and he agreed that when a cop asks you if you have any weapons in the car, you look around as if you wanted to check. Why is that? 

Welcome Everyone

Today marks the day I open my blog to the public. My goal is to update this puppy weekly with pictures and videos of my seemingly interesting life. What I find more interesting is how even in the little things someone can find satisfaction and humor. So if you like doing something you enjoy you are more than welcome to browse at your convenience or when it's easy for you.
