Party at Chad Hogan's

A month or two ago I was on tv on the BBC One in the UK. Shout out to Kevin Bridges.

The Year of the Graveyard Dog

      2012 is just around the corner. Every year, like most people, I say this is going to be my year. This is going to be the year that things change. I've said that for the past couple years and things have been slowly changing. But another thing I've also said for the past couple years is that 2012 is going to be my year. I understood that change takes time and that things were going really start coming alive in the year 2012 for me. I have titled the year 2012 as the Year of the Graveyard Dog.
     2012 is going to be my year for one, because I am going to give it my all. I'm going to dedicate myself to giving it my all in all that I do. Live life to the fullest. The stars are lining up for me. 2012 is the year of the Dragon and I am a Dragon. I'm going to be on national television on BBC One in the UK (I still need to make a post about that.) in february. I'm going to record and release a bunch of songs from Graveyard Dog. If all goes according to plan I'm going to graduate from USU at the end of the year. I plan on doing an internship this summer in some foreign country. I'm going to hit the gym hard and get ripped. I may or may not become rich, but the direct consequences of what I do this year will make me rich in the future. I feel like I could go on and on about things that are going to happen, but let's just sum it all up by saying that it's going to be a good year.
     According to the chinese calendar, the year 2012 is the year of the Dragon. In 1988 I was born. That is also the year of the Dragon. I am a Dragon. The following is some information about the Dragon.

     According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. The dragon usually clutches a pearl symbolic of its super-natural powers.  Invariably accompanied by thunder and rain, dragons move like lightning and whirlwinds - - all powerful yet totally unpredictable. The Dragons are the free spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. Restrictions blow out their creative spark that is ready to flame into life.  So, they must be free and uninhibited.  The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant.  An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and  irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas and extreme ambitions.  However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show.  Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. People born in the Year of the Dragon usually make it to the top. They have true and sincere love, which comes from the depths of their hearts. It is very rare that they remain poor for long. (http://www.stanssewingsupplies.com/catalogs/store.asp?pid=254835)
     As we can read above Dragons rule. It says that Dragons usually are seen clutching a pearl and the pearl is my birth stone. That right there is sign enough that things are gonna happen for me. 2012 is also supposedly the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar so I'm going to live this year as if it's my last. That means lots of crazy stuff is going down. So if you want to be apart of the miracle that is the Graveyard Dog then I hope you hop along for the ride.
     I just had to write this quick so in 2013 and beyond when people ask me about my surprise success in life I can tell them I knew it was gonna happen all along. I guess I'll stop blabbering on and I'll end with an invite to all who know me to pay attention this next year cause it's gonna be a wild one. And with that I welcome you to the Year of the Graveyard Dog.

In the Presence of Gods

This last week has been an awesome one. Something that I'll remember forever. I'll go day by day for ya starting on Friday the 4th of November 2011.

Friday-Sunday 4th-6th of November: Logey invited me to go to his cabin in Island Park with him and his parents for the weekend. It was Logey, Mo, and I. Those are 2 of my best friends and it was a nice weekend. Logey's dad is hilarious with non stop jokes and it dumped a bunch of snow on us which was the 1st snow of the season. Good time in the hot tub with the snow falling. Good times, good food, and good friends.

Monday 7th of November: For my management class we had to plan an event to make money for a charity and if we made enough we wouldn't have to take the final. We had a country swing night and it was pretty fun. I danced with 3 strangers and I was terrible. They were nice girls though that helped me. My institute crush was supposed to be there, but she wasn't. Also, another really cute girl was supposed to go, but she didn't. One more girl that promised to dance with me and teach me how to dance also did not show up. It was rough in that sense cause I planned on working my mojo with those woman that night, but none of them showed up and add my terrible dancing on top of that and my confidence wasn't the greatest by the end of the night. No worries though cause junk like that affects me for about 20 minutes and I'm back at my normal 75% confidence level pretty quick.

Tuesday 8th of November: Haps Births Tech N9ne!!! Tech N9ne's new cd, Welcome to Strangeland, came out this day. It is some good stuff. A friend and fellow Technician of mine, Dan, and I drove down to Salt Lake to meet Tech N9ne and the rest of the Strange Music crew, Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko, and Jay Rock. It ruled. Tech said my belt buckle was killin' it and it was so awesome to be in the presence of them. A real dream come true. As of right now, Tech N9ne is one of my favorites, if not my  favorite, so it was a real honor to meet him. I got a pic with him and he signed my cd and a poster. It was so tiiiiggghhttt!!!! Tech N9ne!!!!

Me and The King of Darkness

Graveyard Dog, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, Jay Rock

Wednesday 9th of November: Tech N9ne's concert. It was so fun. Wild times. I didn't go by myself this time either. I went with Kaptain Krunk, Dan, Chad, Smitty, Kyle and a few others I don't remember the names of. An artist I've never heard of, Flawless, performed and it was good stuff. Jay Rock ruled. Krizz Kaliko has some pipes and I loved Anxiety. Kutt Calhoun knows how to dance and his performance rocked. Tech of course killed it. He puts on such a sick show. One of the better nights of my life. He truly has reached God status. He has so many good songs that it's ridiculous. He has such sick flow and such fast raps that it blows my mind. He blew the roof off the place. Riot Maker I think was one of the greater few minutes of my life. Just jumping around going crazy with thousands of others is something that can't be explained, only experienced. Dwamn, if there were words to explain how awesome it was I would use them, but I can't think of any so I'll leave it at that. Tech N9ne baby!!!

Thursday 10th of November: Thursday night I spent the night in a tent with EJB, Mo, and AB. Those are 3 of my homegirls so it was good times. I feel the less I explain the cooler it looks, but I'll just say that it was for the Utah State-BYU basketball game.

Friday 11th of November: Utah State-BYU basketball game. It was sweet! A way close game for the whole game. Utah State won. Of course. We rarely ever lose in the Spectrum.

That was my week. It was a good one. Tech N9ne took me to heaven and back.

Not working is tight.

My work was pretty much cancelled for the next month so I have lots of free time on my hands these days. I'm not the greatest student, so I'm not planning on filling that time up with too much school work so I've gotta keep myself busy somehow. Yesterday I decided to go on a hike to find myself a nice place to read a book. I ended up getting about one whole page read and that is from attempting to read 2 books. I'm pathetic. On another note I got a sweet few hour long dance party listening to my ipod in the midst of leaves of the red, yellow, and green sorts. Nuff talk, here are some pics.

 Graveyard Dog strikes again.

 I also slung shot.

 This is what was left of the cougar that attacked me.

Life's Been Good To Me So Far

This is what my last couple of days have been like.

Friday June 24th: I went to Taylorsville days and I rode some Carnival rides. That right there is always a good time.

Saturday June 25th: Tech N9ne concert. I really wanted to go, but couldn't find anyone else to go with. Well, many times in my life I've let this stop me. I've either changed plans, did nothing, or just did junk that I didn't really want to do. Not this time. I realized I shouldn't let others stop me from having a good time. Too many times I've let the world pass me by. I went out and went to the Tech N9ne concert by myself and enjoyed every minute of it. It was ridiculously ghetto, but way fun. Maybe I'm weird, but I didn't mind going to it by myself. I've actually gone to and done a lot of things by myself that have been fun. If others don't want to come enjoy the good times then heck, why shouldn't I go and live life? Plus, I learn a lot, meet new people, and have a bunch of new experiences. Tech N9ne. That guy rules.

Later on Saturday June 25th: This is kind of weird, but after the concert a crazy bearded guy knocked on my window and asked me if I was heading towards Salt Lake. I told him yes and he asked for a ride. That happens often, but the weird part is I said yes. I gave him and some other girl that was with him a ride to Bountiful. He wanted me to take him to Ogden and he even offered to pay me in weed, but I didn't really want to so I dropped him off in Bountiful. No weed. Then after I dropped him off and started heading home I noticed his phone was left in my car so I had to turn around and go find him. The girl called the phone so I found them. They told me they'd have to spend the night in Bountiful and wait til the buses started again in the morning so I just told them to get in and I took them the rest of the way to their destination in Ogden. It was weird, but good. We talked a lot about The Church so that was cool. He thought it was crazy that an LDS member went to a Tech N9ne concert and even more crazy that I don't drink or do drugs.

Sunday June 26th: Church was good. Family time was good. Honestly it's hard to think of better times.

Monday June 27th: I worked and went to the Kid Cudi concert with a bunch of my friends and my little sister. It was way fun. Wild times. Only bad part was that I drove and I don't have air conditioning. I'm used to it and I didn't mind, but I never like to see the young ladies uncomfortable so that wasn't cool. Pun. The concert was fun though.

Tuesday June 28th: I came home from work and Logey was there. The weather was hot. We made a slip n' slide in the backyard and it was tight.Slippin and slidin in the nice cool hose water.

Thursday June 30th: I kissed Morgan. It was a goal of mine for the month of June. It took me til 11:30 at night on the last night of June. It wasn't a romantic kiss and it was real quick, but it was a kiss nonetheless. Maybe we'll kiss again.

Friday July 1st: Fireworks in Logan, UT.

Saturday July 2nd: Swimming at the Thains. Always good. Fireworks at Eaglewood Golf Course, NSL, UT.

Sunday July 3rd: Max's baby blessing. My nephew. He's cute.

Future plans.
July 8th-29th: Hawaii with the Thains.
July 30th: T-Pain concert with Dev and The New Boys in the SLC.
Maybe greatest July ever?

In the words of Joe Walsh "Life's been good to me so far."

Someday.....

This song will someday apply to my life and I will sing it to many women. Morgan knows what I'm talking about.

Wool Socks

Yesterday I wore wool socks and it was June 8th and warm weather. I mainly wore wool socks because I do what I want. I don't let anyone else rule me. I am my own master. Also, they were the only clean socks I could find, but that's kind of besides the point. Wool socks are some of my favorite things and I wanted to wear them so I did cause that's the way I roll. I control my destiny and the destiny of June 8th had wool socks written all over it.
