Tour de Utah with Dre as your guide

Hey check out my pics of Luke's trip to Utah. I wanted to show him how awesome Utah is, and now I got the slideshow to prove it.

Also a picture perfect moment for me, I landed my first cliff over 20 feet.


Do you see me and Zack at the top. That's where we dropped in. Making sure we would be in the frame. Then moments later:

It was great day of riding. A day I'm sure I'll always remember. Thanks Milly!

And shout out to Sean and Zack my riding buddies for the day. They were a blast, to keep up with, and show them a thing or two.

AFI, it's complicated

Hey-ooo

On my work trip to Moab, not the fun trip with Luke, I took these videos. They are now loaded. So Please enjoy these next few videos.....you will find a beauty of YouTube of Dre. Yes, that drive was sooo annoying alone I have a few segments where I try to comprehend WHAT afi is saying in their songs. I love the music but I am so confused on the meanings. What? what? So I attempted to figure it out.




Real Lyrics:

"Open my eyes as I submerge and I won't deny what I've been since birth.
I'll die drowned by your standards.
Breathe in the life of the summmer's death as the orange and red breathe their first breath,
so welcome as they're burning through. We all begin to burn.
Autumn's flame dance's in my eyes"



Real Lyrics:
"We all begin to burn. Autumn's flame dance's in my eyes Set alight for all we've learned. My ashes falling. My skin is singed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride I'll wear my scars."




Real Lyrics:
"I know... It's here we retreat, for where else could we go?
To great disbelief there is somewhere we belong.
In negative space supposed flaws go unseen, but our strength is shown.
In darkness together we're bringing the light. In darkness together we are forming.
The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
From all we've been shunned but we found a new home.
To great discontent it is greatness that we own.
In luminous eyes, reflections of fear absolute...
All hate what we've become. In darkness together we're bringing the light.
In darkness together we are forming. The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
Through our will we bring fear."



Real Lyrics:
"Through our bleeding, we are one.
Through the darkness breaks the light.
Through the light unending pain.
Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again."

I'm deaf, or dumb but hopefully you enjoyed.

Patients is NOT driving a PT Cruiser

Look at the title. Yes, patients is everything, even if it means driving anything other than a PT cruiser. Those cars are soooo awful! Mostly I'm talking the way it looks, but the drive itself isn't great. So even though I was already 2 hours behind my travel plans I gladly waited 30 mins to get a Hundya!! Deal with the spelling error, I think it's cute.

So I had to go to Moab for work, so I had to go alone and I have discovered THAT I SHOULD not TRAVEL ALONE. I get so bored so fast. Who knew I need entertainment. So I am posting some awesome photo's of my boredom!

Here I am about to enter the canyon. This canyon is right by my parents house so it's sentimental a little. But now these giant wind power gizmos are there. It's actually impressive when you get that close to them.

The sunset was "re-donk-ulous" so here is a picture of that awesomness.

While driving through town it was dark and I came across this sign. I pulled two U turns so I could get a good picture! Scared? yes I was, but scared with laughter!

I ended up staying at a bed a breakfast overnight and I was the only one there, well me and the image of this creepy cardboard sign holding a butcher knief. I mean really that sign is crazy. It was fun being in a historic house all alone that I didn't have to clean up after myself. My favorite part of the night was watching family guy I laughed so hard I heard it echo-o upstairs.

Moving on I did stop by the Arches National Park vistor center. I snagged these quick pics.

I really wanted to take these pics for all those that have not been to SouthEast Utah in a while. I forget how crazy beautiful it is there and how amazing it is. Best place to spend family trips. Thanks Ma and Pa, and Trav and Rachel that one trip before you guys got married.

Okay this photo I wanted to throw in there because I love horizons where land and sky blend so well. Something I rarelly get to see surrounded by mountains. Although I love the mountains MORE. Being in the middle of nowhere, you see some colors that you can only find in the middle of no where!

Now to some good stuff. Last time I was in price (for work) I swear I found a store called "things and stuff" a store I was interested in seeing what was inside. Things or Stuff? If I bought someone a present there would it be a thing or would it be stuff? Well I couldn't find it, but I found other stuff:

The Slashie Award goes too....

"Hey how was your Christmas?"
"Good but someone slashed my tires."

I used to hate Christmas and now it has caught up to me. Some one who hates people who hates Christmas has done it! I'm starting to hate Christmas less for those that are saying "whaaaaa-t? hate Christmas? Why she must be a Jew? Hot pocket!" No I'm not a fan of the Holiday for other reasons. Strangly this incident doesn't add to it.

So the incident if you want it in more details goes like this.
Christmas day, the snow is getting gnarly (gnar gnar being my new favorite word on paper) so per suggested by the news, I didn't drive back. Being that I had to be at work by 11:30am I wanted an early start on snow douched roads. As I scraped my car (which by the way my dad had already done because he is so nice) I noticed my car leaning to the side. As I investigate I find I have two flat tires. Worried to make it on time to work I call AAA to get a tow truck out. Texting Rhett about the situation: "yeah and I only have ONE spare!" Rhett "wait you only have one?" Dre "wait are you saying you have more than one? doesn't that defeat the name spare?" Rhett "you can't tell the sarcastic tone"

So tow truck later I'm at Big O to get my tires fixed, since that's where I got them. At this point I'm thinking A. is it something I ran over like broken glass from the car accident I passed. B. is it something to do with the cold and expansion? C. i really don't know.

Joe my tire guy showed me my tires under water to see there are about one inch slashes on the side wall. Damage to the sidewalls are unfixable and is seen as vandelism. bottom line, I have to pay for it. For the moment he hooks me up with $30 used ones to get on my way, they didn't have my tire type anyway.

Reactions:
1. Who did you piss off?
2. Was it a vexed lover?
3. Where was it?
4. Who did it?
5. All four?
6. Did you cut anyone off?

Answers:
1. I don't know, I'm unhateable
2. No, I don't have lovers in Provo and I doubt it's Brandon he's old old news, like "other life" old news.
3. My parents driveway in Mapleton Utah. Tiny Town, almost behind my parents house.
4. Yeah, no I don't know how I would know. But thanks for asking.
5. No just the two on the passenger side
6. I don't think so and I'm pretty sure no one was around when I pulled into the driveway.

Well that's all I got for ya. Still waiting to talk to the insurance agent to see what my options are.

People I don't expect to feel bad for me....

I. jarem and chantel: they live in Rose Parks, nuff said. Oh and their house was broken into on Christmas day, night, something like that.
II. Jon Madsen: his car has been broken into like 3 times a summer that he leaves the windows down so he doesn't have to pay for new windows so much. And he lost a stereo.
III. Rhett: His car has been broken into and window shot at on the road of his house, my house, and another girls house because he was there when she got scared when she heard a noise.
IV. Regan, she was robbed and lost everything.

But these are some of my closest friends. I think someone is out for our circle of friends. If not then I think it's Britney Spears. And if you're watching the same shows we are, then you get the joke.

True Colors, "black, like my men" **name that movie

At a company, I mean staff, holiday party we played the game, True Colors. Basically you say who is most like the crazy statment, ie: who would you like to be stuck in an airport with, who lied on the ACT score, yada yada yada. Here are the ones I got Voted on the most...

**Being at a baseball game yelling obsenities to the other team. (this I can't deny, and I love doing it too! That and everyone else in my program doesn't swear, but then again, they shouldn't know I do!)
**Best person to give a Rock Star fashion advice. (Yes I would have to agree on this too. Me vs the group I'm way more hip and in tune because I have to work with teens that dress like their music. I give in too with some crazy stuff. Lastly was having purple hair, but the lady didn't do it right. Meh, maybe next time.)
**Not from this planet. (I don't agree and have no idea why they pointed me out)
**The person with the TALL TALES. (I didn't get this at first, but then one of them reminded me some dating stories I told, then I would have to agree. DON'T worry if you think I have talked about you, I usually tell the way crazy ones about people I don't hang around anymore because they are CRAZY!)
**A friend that will tell it how it is. (I agree on this too. I have been know to tell past roommates they did in fact look fat in those jeans. AND I must say my girl Regan will tell me how it is and I love her for it. It's way better to get through something when people tell the truth then to make you feel better temporailly.)
**Someone who cares the most about their outwardly appearence. (Not really agree, I mean just last week I was mistaken for a dude so I had to have missed a mirror that day.)
**Someone who could win the Online Olympics, meaning they are on the internet the WHOLE time. (I can see why I got voted, I guess, but isn't everyone always on line? really I am confused when people say they don't check their email. Why? And I also disagree because I do have a co worker that loves the internet on his phone and always sending out articles he finds online.)
**Most likely to win the Lottery Ticket and then lose it. (ha ha ha, I'm really both sides on this. I never lose my keys or wallet unless it ends up in a really freak accident place. Like the other day at rhetts my keys were under the easy chair. And my wallet was stolen and the other time jammed so far into rhett's truck we didn't find it until they totalled it. However, I am very good at leaving the house and having to go back in for one item. And I can forget to bring something BUT I don't LOSE it!!)
**The person that after hearing a message will mess it up when repeating it. (I don't have to agree to this one because with in seconds after this vote Spence comes in saying "I'm going to pick up the girls" and I said "wait so he's going swimming?")
**The person who opens other people's mail. (Um yeah because that is a fedral law and this blog is on the w.w.w if you know what I mean. I haven't opened up other peoples mail, but I've thought about it!)

I did get second place in a few other crazy scenerios. And because we were playing with more than 6 people (6 colors, everyone is a color and vote by holding that color) we ended up pointing. So when you have a room full of people and everyone is pointing at you, it feels a bit weird.

Well I hope this entry was a little bit fun, now you see how my co-workers see me. It was fun, I had a great time at the party. I should do this game again with my family. But then again, how my family sees me is really weird, that's a whole 'nother blog entry...

I hate it when this happeneds!

Email from Dre:

The coolest thing to happen to me today. I was in my car in a parking lot out here at tooele's alternative school and I noticed some random kids staring at me. I finished my phone call in the car then went into the school. I walk into the room where the kids were staring at me. The second I stepped in a girl says 'hey its you! I knew it!  We were taking bets if you were a boy or a girl!'

I'm getting a new job!
