Watch Out BHS Cheer

I've still got it...

Big pillow at Cornbelly's.  This is what dreams and miracles are made of.

Falling Into Winter

I love that natural colors that the fall months have to offer.  I took these pictures up Millcreek Canyon a couple of weeks ago.  I used my 35mm lens with a fish eye attachment.

A Mix That Kix

The iPod has revolutionized the way we listen to music. With the uprising of the iPod came the downfall of something that is now what I call a lost art.  What is this art form you might ask?  What I’m talking about is the CD Mix tape.  (yes I know it’s not really a tape, but I just like that phrase). I feel like the youth of today are deeply deprived of something amazing. They don’t even realize what they’re missing out on. I don’t get it... what do they do now days? “Hey plug your iPod into my Macbook Pro I have a mix I want to share with you?” hmmm seems strange,  to be honest I feel bad for the youth of today for this reason alone. I found my old CD case you know one of those big ones stuffed to the brim with 4 CD’s per pocket.  I started looking through the case and remembered the hours on end my high school friends and I would spend making a “new mix”.  Once the new mix was made you’d put it in your CD player and listen to it over and over and over.  Maybe this is why I have so many songs from the early 2000’s memorized.  Well blogging world, get ready for what’s about to hit you, because with the “new mix”, also came a fancy name you had to write and decorate on the CD.  I was hysterically laughing as I was looking through my CD’s and wanted to share some of the names with you.  Disclaimer:  Please do not judge me I was in high school a lot has changed since then.  Second disclaimer:  the list below portrays actual spellings from the mix tapes I know I spelled them wrong.  I just thought it was cool to use x’s in place ck’s and stuff like that.

Just in case you were wondering, none of these mix names are copyrighted you may use any you see fit for your iPod playlists. I will also hold hope that the CD mix tape will make a comeback, let's just hope it's not as big of a disaster as Brit Spears comeback in 2007 things really haven't been the same since.

Do The Dirty

Hey... WHOA get your mind out of the gutter.  I'm talking about the Dirty Dash, the 10K team mud run/obstacle course I participated in a couple of weekends ago.  If you did not do it this year, you should do it next year.  If you're expecting a hard core race this is not for you.  This is for those of you who want to have a good time running while getting REALLY dirty at the same time.  I think the pictures say it all.

Our Team Before:

Our Team After:

Faces of The Dirty:

Babes of The Dirty:

Overall I give the Dirty Dash two enthusiastic thumbs up! Hope to see you on the course next year... I'll race you down the slip and slide. 

Top-Rope-Tough-Guys

This week I went to the Reel Rock film festival at the Tower Theatre, in Salt Lake City.  If you don't know what that is check out the trailer for the various films.  This trailer has one of my recent favorite songs on it: Radical Face "Welcome Home"


OK, now that you've been inspired, the real reason why I'm writing this post is to share another video with you.  This clip is called Top-Rope-Tough-Guys it's a short film they showed at the beginning of the festival.  If you don't climb, it may not be that funny to you, but you should still watch.  If you do climb, this will be one of the funnier videos you've seen in a while.  This clip is not on You Tube, so you have to follow the link to watch it.
