Not sure if anyone reads this anymore but this is me on my B-day on my bike riding the Alpine Loop. Mom said that I had been on this road before but I must have been to young to remember. The ride was beautiful and the road was a lot of fun to ride. Lots of twisty turns and and overhang trees. We even got in to a little rain on top of the mountain. We got some good pictures on Rhett's camera the ones you see here were taken from my phone so they kind of suck. But, you can tell what they are.

This was a shot taken when we were riding.
This is a look out from what its like to be a stud on the bike..haha. The ride was perfect and it was fun to go out with my older brother. thanks for the fun memories

Nebo Loop

2008-06-19T12:11:00.000-07:00

So, me and my buddy and a few others took a three hour ride on our motorcycles on yesterday. We started in Payson Canyon and did the Nebo Loop. That road dropped off us into Moroni city where we stopped at a little mom and pop place to have some lunch. They served a pretty mean burger. We then took off and went to Mt. Pleasant, from there we ripped down Spanish Fork Canyon to home. The trip was a lot of fun I just wish I would have put on more sun screen OUCH!!!! here are some pics from the trip.

This was just a outlook
This was nebo loop outlook
This would be my ouchy arm
This would be my ouchy leg..haha hope mom does not look at these!!!!

Bike Ride

2008-05-04T16:23:00.000-07:00

These are a few pictures of the bike team from last week. We went up to the old Eureka Mine town out behind Utah Lake. That was a fun ride.

The one on the left looks the best... right?

I took a ride today on my bike along with a few other people up Provo Canyon. The day was beautiful to be out in the sun. We went up to Squaw Peak for our first stop and found that a few people were laying out their gliders to take off. We decided to stick around and see how it would go. the wind picked up and the just took off. We talked to them a little bit the fliers said that they either land back on the mountain side there or wayyy up at the point. Kind of cool that they can go so far and stay in there. I think this may be something I need to do in the near future. Looks sooo fun. Here are a few pictures of them setting up and taking off. One of them just ran down the mountain side until the wind took him.

Sticky Buns!!

2008-04-06T19:09:00.001-07:00

Here are the before and after pictures of the sticky buns I made. They were really really good. We kinda keep it cold in the apartment so I was afraid that they may not rise. But, I woke up and they were ready to bake up. Hope you all had a great weekend. I got to go on a few rides on my new bike. We started at the north end of Utah Lake and went all the way down to Santaquin and even went and saw all the old mines in Eureka. Friday we went to the Goshen Canyon and came out by Mona Lake. My butt is sore but it was well worth the fun.

My New Ride!!!!!

2008-03-31T18:10:00.000-07:00

So I got one big long crazy hairs and went and bought a motorcycle!!! here are the pics after Mom got done freaking out haha... took me a minute to calm her down but I finally got her to sit on it. The bike is a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 it has lots of power for my big body, I love it!!

I am a pimp daddy!! don't you think? lolol

Apartment

2008-03-07T11:45:00.000-08:00

That right there is the front door to my Apartment!!

As you step into the apartment the kitchen is to your left. The door on the left is my pantry. Notice that there is all sorts of room under the cabinet next to the oven, Yeah, thats because this is a handicap apartment for those of you that have not heard yet. It is fun to do the dishes and brush you teeth at night at the sinks. You almost have to kneel to make it feel right. We get a new room next month though so its all good.
Sorry this picture is a little messy. This is where I get my Xbox 360 on. The Tv that I got makes it even more fun to play in full HD 1080P. Lane came over last night and we played Halo 3 with Rhett over the net we had a lot of fun. We also played some Rainbow 6 Las Vegas, that game is a blast, it is really hard and you have to be tactful or you die really quick. Chris you would love it.
This is all that is really good in the bathroom. 11 inches of spray makes for a great shower in the morning. kinda like standing under a waterfall. BEST purchase I have ever made.
Last of all is my room. I decided not to put the painting up because we are just moving in a few weeks but I can't wait to get it up in the new apartment. I love it. I will hang it in every home I ever have. Thanks Julie!! The tour is short but it is fun to be out on my own and take on the world. I love my new job with ESSI, I will have to tell you more about that later. Have a great weekend and do something fun!!

I got up this morning and thought that I needed to make myself the best breakfast sandwich ever. But, in order to do that you gotta toast the bread and I don't have one... So I just used the pan to toast the bread, cracked some big fat eggs in the pan with some butter so it would not stick to the pan of course. then after those were cooked I put some cheese over the top of the eggs and took it out of the pan. Then I put some ham (lunch meat ham) in the pan and cooked it up, toasted the bread, when I was done it looked something like the pictures that I will post below or above, where ever they go. This sandwich made for a perfect way to start the beautiful spring like Saturday off. have a great weekend and I know yall want to make one now.

This would be post #1 YALL!!!

I figured if everyone else is doing it I better right?... The way I see it is this is a place that you kinda get to brag about yourself to everyone. cant be to bad. I just thought that I would update everyone on what I am doing. With CompUSA shutting its doors so quickly I knew that I needed to start looking for a new job. So, I started talking to some friends that I have known for a while that I have worked with in the retail business for the last few years. To make a long story short I found a job at Brent Brown Auto. I have had the opportunity to take a training course this entire week from one of the most influential motivating guy I have ever talked to. His name is Mike Terry I don't know if there is much out there about him but there will be someday I guarantee it. This guy has everything in the world that he has ever wanted and will give it all to see the average Joe succeed in life. He has not only changed the way I look at sales and what kind of salesman I can be, he also has changed the way I look at my every day life. The biggest thing he teaches is change your mental images from negative ones to positive ones. He mentions to try this activity for fun he says even he does it every once in a while. he says, "take a dictionary and rip every negative word that is in it out of the book. makes you feel better." HAHA I thought that was great. One way that I tried it was on my way home from work that day I decided that every single driver that decided to do something stupid around me like pull out in front of me of slam their breaks on... you know those kinda of things that make you want to get out and show them what your made of kinda things..... I decided that I was going to say every time that it happened that it was cool.. no problem...sure enough by the time I got home I was just a happy guy that had a great day at work...(so my mind was telling me lol) but it is so true that we are what we think. anyway I am excited to do my new job and be surrounded by all sorts of these kind of people. ohh I almost forgot to tell you what I am doing. I am starting up the internet sales and show floor salesman support department. I only deal with people that want to buy cars which is a big step in the car industry(imagine that). I have some great potential to learn and grow from many Jedi like people there... whodathunk a car salesmen job could be so good!!

I am going to make this a two for one post.

As all of you know or should know Rock Band has now hit the market and I could just not pass it up. So, here are a few pics of the next rock band to hit the road on world tour baby. I cant find my transfer cable so I will upload the pics tomorrow.
