Godspeed????

Have you ever heard that saying before "Godspeed" when someone is saying bye to another person. What does that mean? I've never understood it. Sometimes I catch myself using it, then afterwards think about it, and it makes no sense to me. You want someone to travel at the speed of God. Very unusual......well, till my next post. Godspeed.

Weener

Has anyone else noticed that this actor always plays the Weener in movies? I guess he's just born with one of those faces that you just want to punch. That's all for now...

My Birthday!

Hello everyone in Cyberland! I just had my birthday and thought I would write about it. It was on the 21st and I turned the whopping 27. Its pretty crazy when I think that I've been alive for 27 years. I hope I've done some good, even though I know I've done tons of bad. BUHAHAHAH (evil laugh) Anyways, thanks everyone that wished me a happy birthday. Its always nice to hear those words on your special day. So this is what I did....woke up sweating to death cause the summer's heat, ate a bowl of Granola Cereal, then went to the bathroom to take a shower where I stopped for a second in the mirror to admire the nicely tanned, and toned body God gave me. haha Then started my shower when I saw a spider crawling around in the tub. I aimed the shower head to kill the spider, then paid more attention to not letting it touch me while floating around in the water then actually washing my body. After that I met up with my homie Doug Turner, who might get mad that I used his actual name, so we'll just call him Doug Turner. haha We went to UVU so I can figure out why I havn't received my financial aid yet. I was help by a lady named Capri who was kinda rude at first then after I told her I was 27 (which was closer to her age) she was super nice and walked me through the whole process. I felt like she was super flirty with me, and for a second thought about asking her out when I saw in her pocket a pack of cigerattes and was instantly turned off. Sorry all my smoker friends reading this, I'm just not down for the Tobacco. After I got everything cleared and okay'd for my financial aid I left with Doug to the Orem Skate park where my homie Mckay Stevens a.k.a Mckay Stevens met us there. It was nice cause there was only 3 other kids skating the park so it was to crowded. I did feel a little awkward cause I didn't know any of the 3 kids that were there but they all called me by my name like they knew me and told me that they heard I moved to Salt Lake. I didn't really care that they somehow knew about my life, but I just felt bad cause I didn't know any of their names so I just kept saying stuff like "Yah Dude", " Thats cool dude", "alright dude" "see ya later dudes". After about half an hour Doug, Mckay and myself left Orem park and hit up an Arby's in Salt Lake where Doug proceeded to buy the 5 for 5 combo to split with me for my bday. Nice Present Doug! you cheap bastard!!! lol I'm totally kidding. Thanks dude. After chilling at arby's for about 20 minutes where we talked about nothing but skating, girls, and mexican accents we went to the Daybreak Skate park. As soon as we pulled up I was kinda over it already cause there's not that much fun stuff to skate for me there, but my other friends Drew and Jared were coming up to meet us so we chilled and skated for a good 3 hours. We left Daybreak and stopped at the South Jordan park which was really fun but I was soooo tired and drained cause the night before I stayed up watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm" till 6 a.m then woke up at 7:30 a.m. I got a ride home with Drew and Jared where I can't remember what we were talking about except some place called "Dragonskeep" or something where all the dudes into Dungeons and Dragons go play at. haha I got home, and literally slept for 6 hours. I woke up, hopped in the shower and noticed the spider was still there stuck to the tub. I rinsed him down the drain and said a prayer for his soul to go to heaven haha then went to eat with my family. I hate restaurant food for some reason so I turned down all their suggestions of places to eat and chose to go to EZ take out burger (rip off of In and Out) got the food and went to my brother Sam's for a movie night. We ended up watching "Forever Strong" which I do not recommend to anyone. I laughed more at the cheesy moments more than enjoying the movie. After that I started to watch "Bottlerocket" before I realized I was falling back asleep. So I left my brother's place, dropped my mom off, then went to my apartment where I popped in disc 2 of season 5 of Curb your Enthusiasm and fell asleep to the sweet sound of Larry David's voice on the t.v.
Thanks everyone for the great Bday!

Hawaii

In case you haven't seen my facebook statuses I'm finally going back to school so I can be the oldest freshman alive. haha. I signed up for a bunch of online classes that surprisingly all go towards getting my general ed done. Intro to theater, Meteorology, Some government one, and something else. haha Sorry I haven't really memorized what I'm taking. Anyways, I took all online classes so I can move out to Hawaii and do school from there. The reason why is pretty gnarly. I've been to Hawaii once after my mission and really loved Laie, and since I've left the place I've had the same reoccurring dream over and over and this is it.....I'm riding a Vespa Scooter in Laie, with no shirt, some DC Linx shoes, and white Volcom boardshorts. haha I'm not even joking...I've had that dream over 30 times, the exact same thing every time. So thats why I've decided to go out there cause I figure there has to be some reason why I keep having that dream, and I like surfing (:

Skate Camp

Last week I drove to Visalia, CA and went to the YMCA/Element skate camp and literally had the time of my life. I grew up seeing footage of this place in all the skate videos but never had the money to go. Now at 26, my buddy Drew called me up and said he's going to a play a show there for the kids and that if I wanted to go, we can stay for free. So we left Sunday morning and drove through my hometown of Ceres, CA where we stopped at my old stomping ground..The Ceres Skatepark. It was actually kinda funny cause this kid that always did a handstand on his board was still there and while we were leaving I saw him doing a handstand on his board. I just laughed to myself..haha. We then drove to my best friends house by Fresno, where we watched a movie and repeated the same jokes that we've been saying since 8th grade. haha. The next morning we woke up, ate some kix, then drove up in the mountains and saw the raddest thing ever....skate parks in the middle of the freaking mountains by the Lake and a big sign that said "Welcome to the YMCA/Element skate camp" I finally Made it!!!
The whole week, was just skating, teaching little kids, eating, kayaking, swimming in the lake, making skateboards....etc. I met tons of cool people from all over the world from Washington, to Barbados. My friend Drew played an awesome show for all the kids and sold tons of merchandise and cd's. ( You should listen to his music, really good...just google Drew Danberry and it should bring up a bunch of stuff). Anyways, my legs feel like jello. I lost like 8 lbs. from just skating all day, and not having any soda around to drink. So overall the camp was a success and I can't wait to go again next year.
