I’m a no directions, no napkin kind of guy. I just wanted to clear the air and let it be known.Anyways …. Man.Sometimes I just have to scratch my head and ask myself, “Where has the time gone?”. It must be true. My sister and my mom tell me time after time that the older you get, the faster life flies. In what seems to be the entire year, I have no clue where it went. Ask me today to tell you what’s happened, I may end up needing to get back to you …. So this past week me and Kristy went to the 3 Doors Down concert at Red Rocks. I have to say, it was the best concert I’ve been to up to date, and by far one of the coolest birthday gifts I’ve received. I suppose that’s not saying much seeing as I’ve only been to a handful of concerts and they are one of …

It’s been a while. I’d love to sit here and say that the reasons are for just and worthy causes but I think it amounts to lack of time and lazyness. Perhaps a mixture of both, perhaps even neither. So much has been happening since I last wrote, I’m not even sure where to begin.So, I figure I’ll start with my parents trip to The Mile High City. I think/hope we all had a good time. I introduced all 4 puppies to dog parks where. That was interesting to say the least. Me and my pops went to the mountains and the ladies did a ton of shopping. The Olympics were on, and as usual, our eyes and ears were glued to the television. I was able to show my parents around town for the first time, and I think they finally got a peek at the big city life. Working downtown has it’s pros and cons, however, I …

Boy oh boy.Today was a pretty great day. I got to fly a kite. I’ve been wanting to do so for a while but hadn’t taken the time to do so. It’s amazing how when you force yourself to do something, how rewarding it’d be. I haven’t flown a kite in a couple years but I was a bit hesitant.A real quick trip down memory lane.My buddies up north flew some kites a year or so ago. After keeping the kites in the air for quite some time, we got bored and hitched two of them together. We got one kite going, then tied another kite to it. Pretty awesome It got me doing searches on kites and stunt kites. Power kiting … ect … tons of funny and crazy youtube videos out there.Whew. It’s hot in here.My place is feeling pretty cozy. Temperature reads 84 degrees, but I know better. It’s pushing 100. It has to be.I’m …

Every now and then something will transpire that will make you see the world through a different lens. Good, bad or indifferent, these lenses are permanently affixed to the way we see life. My lenses are just like yours, it affects my daily actions, my interactions and my inactions. All of them connected in one way or another, and all of them shaping my life and my future experiences.Experiences. Lenses. Both interchangeable. Both shape the way we see life.I had a grand entry planned today but instead, I figured I’d let you watch them.- My first church service It’s been almost 2 years ago since my first service….. For those that know me, know my rants and raves with GOD. My bitterness, my downright hatred of the church and of GOD. As I sat and watched this service, I was very bitter. My hatred was fueled, but the man spoke truth. Its taken me 13 years to move under the …

This weekend was rather, well …. exciting, to say the least. It started off like any weekend in which I go camping. Get my items, pack up Dolly, then head out as soon as I can. Friday I was at a friends helping place hardwood floors, and immediately after I made a quick escape to the mountains. This time was a wee bit different. I’d been planning it for the past week or so, I bought some extra gear to try out. Mainly a new sleeping bag and also my new Hennessey Hammock Tent. It’s a hammock/tent which is probably a campers best friend. After my first field test(aka after I camped in it for a night), I give it 2 thumbs up. That morning, after an awesome night’s sleep I decided to go through the trails and have a little fun wheeling. Afterwards I headed out to get to the highest point on the mountain side, so I can …

Yea, I know. It’s been a while. As I lay here on my couch I find it hard to believe it’s been over 2 weeks since my last update. Given I think about posting all the time. Given I imagine myself posting all the time. Given in my mind before I go to bed, the days events get replayed in my head on an infinite loop. Given my mind has screamed for a emotional outlet just to let everything out.Sometimes it feels that nature takes it’s queues from me and my mind. I feel that somehow the major atrocities that have taken place over the last decade I’ve somehow controlled. Silly I know. I suppose it’ll help if I explain a bit. In 2004 hurricane after hurricane hit Florida. I remember I was working customer service with Dishnetwork full time, plus going to school full time. My life was very hectic, and the only calm I would get before and …

I don’t even know where to start. It’s been one great day, and now that I’m settling down for the night, I can only imagine it’ll be getting better.You see I’m actually about 20 miles in the middle of nowhere, from the rooftop of dolly, the sky is beautiful. A black canvas with specks of white, all glittering. A site not normally seen from my apartment, let alone the city. I suppose that’s why I’m out here. So much beauty. Peace. Quiet. Ok, not as quiet as one would think. The trees are rustling a bit, every other minute it sounds like twigs breaking in the forest, only to cause me to stop breathing and shine my spotlight in the area. Of course it’s nothing but my imagination. It’s the silence. I’m not used of it. Its very soothing and relaxing but when it gets to be too quiet my mind starts to wander. Both positive and negative.I’m ok with …

It seems like forever and a day since I last posted. I don’t know what’s gotten into me in regards to my lack of posting, but over the last 6-7 years it seems like it goes in stages. Sometimes I post with the floodgates open, other times it’s somewhat of a drought. Eeeek. Alot has happened since the last time I posted. It seems like it’s all too much for my brain to comprehend. Maybe I can put pen to paper and at least start. Given I’m so tired, I’ll stick to kiss. Keep It Simple Stupid. We’ll try to put it into a summary…. here goes nothing!The Weekend Before Last.I was finally able to figure out this iMovie thing. I found that the new version of iMovie ’08 is pretty much crappy, and that iMovie ’06 was for free to download! I inserted my movie, added a bit of mojo, a great song, and here is what I came …

I needed to escape. This past week has taken it’s toll on me so I figured an escape was in order.I headed off at about 10 and have had a great time since then, up until now, right before work.So what did I do that was so fun? One word.The Mountains. Ok, so that was two, but it was a blast. The book I read regarding camping and offroading stated that Rampart Range Road was great because it connected to a ton of trailheads and that most were easy-moderate in difficulty. This road starts off in the middle of Garden of the Gods, and continues literally 20+ miles into the middle of nowhere mountains and the woodlands park area. Tons of fun things to do. Biking, hiking, fishing, boating, riding … you name it. There is a sign right by the turnoff onto the road that says it’s meant for high clearance SUV’s, although I saw a few passenger cars …
