Music!!!

Music personally is a huge part of my life. Im always trying to listen it whether it be driving in my car or in my garage working on my dirt bike or at a party. It helps me concentrate and it helps me be calm. All my friends love music and love listening to it and we all love finding new stuff no one really has heard or finding abstract music. I can safely say that I listen to about everything. I listen to AC/DC, AFI, Afroman,Alien Ant farm, Atmosphere, The beach boys, Beastie Boys, Billy Idol, Billy Squire, The Black Crowes, The Black Halos, Bob Dylan, Bloodhoundgang, Bon Jovi, Bouncing Souls, Butthole Surfers, Cake, Cream Culture Club, CSNY, Dead Pez, Dean Martin, Dio, Dire Straits, Disturbed, Dr. Dre, E-A-ski, Elbow, Eminem, Flobots, Foo fighters, Frank Sinatra, Geroge Thurogood, Geto Boys, Giglo Aunts, Godmack, Gordon Lightfoot, Grandmaster Flash, Ice Cube Immortal Tech., Jay-Z, John fogerty, Johny Cash, Journey, Kanye West, KilswitchEngage, Kurtis Blow, Lordi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, MIA, Megadeath, Metallica, M.J, Notorious BIG, The off Spring, Outkast, Pantera, Peter Frampton, The Police, Phil Collins, Primus, Queen, R.E.M, Reo Speedwagon, RAGTM, Ramstien, R.H.C.P, Rick James, Rich Boy, Robert Palmer, Run DMC, Scareface, Scars on brodway, Slightly Stoopid, Smashing Pumkins, Snoop Doff, Stevi eRay Vaughn, Sting, Sublime, Sugarhill gang, System of a Down, T-rex, Ted Nugent, Three 6, Tom Petty, The trashmen, Type o Negative, UB40, Van Halen, Weezer, West side gang, White Zombie, The Who, Young Jeezy, ZZ Top, 38 Special, %0 Cent..and there is a bunch more. I think music shapes a part of a persons identity and it puts you in a group of certian ppl. I dont think there is anyone who doesnt like a type of music everyone likes the sound of music. I listen to a lot of different music and there still is a bunch I havent heard yet. The amount of music that is out there is incredible to me and the amount of different sounds is also incredible to me. So if someone says they cant find music they like you tell them "bullshit ur just not looking hard enough."

Doing Whats Natural

A summary of her belief is that she believes she is rite and beautiful whether her hair is straight, long, short, or nappy. And she believes she is rite about her being beautiful if her hair is natural. There really is only one major thing I noticed that shaped her belief and it is her desire to be free and that means loosing the shackles of others expectations. She balances the communicating and preaching well. She mostly communicates her belief to me instead of preaching it to me to try and make me believe it to. I would have to say her tone/voice seems to be calm and relaxed but blunt and to the point. Her tone/voice also seems to be very genuine and that this is what she really believes.

Formula Un (One) racing!!!

So I am a huge motocross person and believe everything that is ass. with it and I believe its the best sport on the planet and I am heavily involved in the sport. But my true love has to be auto racing mostly grand prix racing. And my favorite grand prix racing has to be F1 racing. The cars that race in it are probably the most incredible grand prix race cars and have so much technology in them it is amazing they could fit all of that into such a little space. These cars are worth millions of dollars and every year each team put millions of dollars into them for testing for the up coming year. I try and make sure I watch racing every weekend and keep up to date with the points and standings. After learning about these cars so extensively I thought, it is incredible to me that I barley know anything about these racing machines. I mean these cars are tiny they weigh about 1400lbs and the have a v8 stuffed into them turning 19000rpms and putting out close to 900hp. Now for a normal street car it red lines at about 5000-6000rpm which is just idling for a F1 car. These cars create so much down force that the could drive on a ceiling if they needed to. It is just amazing to me that someone could create something this advanced and this amazing.

Money. Can it buy happiness?

Money is a huge part of our lives and there really isnt anyone who can denie it. I believe money can buy happiness, but not in the sense of you go buy a car and you feel joy and happiness forever. I think a lot of your happiness has to come from inside yourself. I heard a study say that money can buy happiness in the sense of if you go buy something for someone or give a bum money or just give someone else money it can buy happiness and joy. As I look back I notice that when I give gifts I feel so good about myself and I feel happy. I almost like giving more than reviving things. When you give a present to someone you just feel joyful and happy because your saying "hey" I gave that person food or just straight up money and they got happy. But in the other sense that if you go buy a new car purse I really dont agree. Ya you get happy when you go buy something but I dont think it last that long. I think that money def. makes things easier which brings happiness and it also allows you to do the activities you love which also makes you happy. I would have to say that there isnt a human on the earth that doesnt get any joy from giving.

Moab!!

So this past thurs. Jared, Drew and I headed out to Moab UT, to do some trail riding with Jared's dad uncle and his dads friends. We got to Moab at 8pm and started to set up. We were the first ones to arrive. Shortly after Jared uncle arrive with my dirt bike and his camper. So we got all set up and started to drink because Jared, Drew and I werent going to be riding the next day because we were going to Provo UT, to get Drews new dirt bike. So the next morning Clay and
Paul headed out to ride and we went to Provo which is a 2 1/2hr drive. So we drove to Provo and got his bike and headed back. We got back at around 8 and Mike, Paul#2, and Tim had just arrived. And shortly after that Jareds dad and his friend Nick arrived with their bikes. For about 2hrs we sat around a huge fire talking and telling stories. So at about 11pm Jared and I passed out. I woke up the next morning excited and ready to go do some trail riding. So 11 of us all ate breakfast and got ready and got our bike ready and then we headed out to White wash to ride. So we would occasionally stop and eat a power bar and drink some water and talk. We finally got to the main trail we wanted which was called Mary's trail which is all Slick Rock which has a tone of traction and in some spots you are going almost going straight sown a rock wall. So we did that for awhile and then we started to head back to out camp and the trail we were doing i called single track and it is fast as heck. About 5 min from the camp I was tired as hell and was trying to keep up with Jared and as soon as I knew it I was on the ground dazed as hell. I had hit a rock at about 40mph and got tossed on my head and slid for about 30ft. I sat up looked at my bike which had one of the plastics torn off. A couple of the guys behind me stopped and asked if I was alright and picked up my bike for me and we headed off and got back to camp in one piece. The next day which was Sunday we packed up and headed back with Colorado a 6hr drive ahead of us. We finally got back at 6pm and I got my bike and headed home.

Snow?!

How I love the snow and the mood it brings every year. Dont get me wrong I love summer but winter is also awesome. The first time it snows enough to cover the streets is the starting of winter for me. When it snows enough to cover the ground it starts off the snow activities for me, like drifting in my car a 12pm for 2hrs with my buddy Jared or towing friends behind my car on sleds and snow boards or if there is enough snow making a sick snow cave in my yard or jumping off my roof into a snow bank and you cant leave out snow football. I love when it snows a lot because it makes everyone immobile and no one can really go anywhere so everyone is in the same boat. But the ultimate snow activity for me has to be SKIING every weekend. I usually go about 50-60 times a year which if you ski or snowboard is a lot. Ive been skiing since I was 6 so Ive been skiing a good portion of my life and it means a lot to me. But snow also means Christmas is coming which means presents and a month off from school which never hurts anyone. Snow is awesome and fun and it brings a totally different mood to Colorado.

Soccer!?

A place or more of an activity that has vanished for me throughout the course of my life is Soccer and it def. makes me sad it vanished from my life because it was such a big part of my life for such a long time. Since I was about 7 or 8 I played soccer until I was a sophomore in h.s. I loved playing it and I loved the competitiveness of it and how hard you had to work at it to be good. I also loved playing in the yard with my older sister because she was way better than me and she would give me pointers. Why did she play through college and not me? I don't know why it vanished from my life and why I never looked back when it did. Maybe because of motocross or maybe because of a gf or because I just lost interest and decided not to try out junior year. I had my good times with it and my bad times with it, but that goes for everything.

Motocross couldn't have been the reason because I played soccer and rode at the same time for about 6 or 7 years. A gf couldn't of been it because I never did want to spend all my time with her anyways and if it was a gf why did I not stop riding my dirt bike? Maybe it was I just lost interest in it and for some reason I never tried to get it back into my life. There are times though when I will think about it and I say to my self "that would be a blast to go play rite now" but I haven't made a move to join a team or gather up friends to play yet...Maybe one day I will.
