School started 2 weeks ago and its back to the daily grind of school or work. Today its work then my strenuous night class called yoga, lots of lectures and note taking. For the most part I enjoy all my classes and haven't missed one yet, but its still early in the semester. I've got a full load of 18 hours so I can graduate in December and get on with my life and become a professional ski bum. Yes you need a degree to be a professional ski bum because without one I would just a ski bum.
Moving to Lake Tahoe is defiently the number 1 goal in my life a the current point in time. Seeing that I have very few responsibilties there is no better time than to put my professional carrer on hold before it ever starts. I really don't know what I'm going to do for an income while I'm there but thats part of the adveture of it. Hopefully I'll be able to find a job that will allow me to ski 3-4 times a week. Something like bartending or working in food service might be the easy choice seeing that I could work nights and ski during the day. Also I'm working at a hotel now and maybe a similar job might be easy to get but then I have to work long hours and thats not kewl.
Long story short being a ski bum is something I must do before its too late and I get some chick preggers and my life ends.

Flag
Last Sunday I got off work at 11pm and decided to drive up to Flagstaff with my heterosexual life partner Byran (see above). We didn't make it all the way to Flag and had to pull off and sleep in the back of the car here, not to far from our goal but I was taking way to many 1 second power naps while driving. The following morning we woke up around 9am with the sun beating down the back window with it hot gamma rays making me hot and schwetty in 
my sleeping bag. When we got into town we pulled off into a diner called the The Place and got a decent break of our fast. We walked around downtown before meeting up with Bryan's younger bro Kevin (see right) and his friend Blake who made us some tacos for lunch. We then went to go climbing out on Lake Mary Rd. I didn't do much climbing do to my weak upper body and large legs, but the other guys weren't to shabby and did some cool climbs. After we went back to Blake's and chilled for a bit and crashed. Bryan and I woke up early the next day because he had to be a work at noon. I was glad to get out of the valley one last time before school started.

I went to random house party/concert in Tempe last night and discovered an amazing band called Leopold and his Fiction. They had a great sound that was 60's bluesy but rocked your ass off. Their lead singer/guitarist, Daniel, was a real talent and could really put on a show while playing with a ton of emotion. They played in Flag the night before and randomly met some guys who asked them to come down and play for us at the house party thrown by Dave. It was one of the best shows I've been to because of the house setting. There were 30-40 people squeezed into a living room and the bands where playing right on top of you. Also Black Carl played a great show and got the party moving with their funky soulful sounds, until the cops broke it up around midnight.
Thank god the most timid cops in the world were there, they were scared as shit. When we left that had this look like "Please don't riot because there are 2 of us and 100 of you". I'm not complaining because they could of been dicks and ID us all and wasted our time.
Overall this was one of the best parties I've ever attended.

Zona sunset 7/21
Orange, my favorite color. I took this pic the other evening around 7:30pm. Right after I missed a free sneak preview of Step Brothers.
Blog 2, New job
Good morning, I thought that I would make a blog and keep up with it but I haven’t so far but that’s ok because I’m ready to give you'll a sweet update. I've been real busy with my new job at the large hotel in downtown Phoenix; yes we have a downtown in Phoenix. The downtown here in my beloved valley is a random collection of office buildings, hotels, an arena and a ballpark. The reason I’m hesitant to call it a downtown is because nobody actually lives in the downtown area and therefore there is not much to do down here after the sun goes down. Enough about are crap ass downtown even though we’re the 5th largest city in the US.
My new job isn’t that bad as a front desk agent at a decent hotel, but it will become monotonous soon. A lot of the same poop different scoop so far. I’ve only been there for a week and a half, and I feel like I have figured out the job. Like any job I’ll go into it working hard and hopefully make an impression. Then over the next few months I’ll figure out who to stand up strait for, who to joke with, who to smile at, who to make small talk to (older folks), and so on. After that you can enter cruise control and the job becomes easy because you continue to complete the same tasks and problems on a daily basis. One big positive is that I enjoy the people I work with and hopefully they will keep the job fun and original.
I wish I would have gotten the concierge job that originally applied for, but I realized that it is a coveted job. You need some experience in the hotel industry and probably have a resume, two things I didn’t have. It’s the easiest job you can have at the hotel. You sit in a big office chair all day and make small talk with people about what to do. You never have to get shit on which I figure is the department I work in, while standing all day. I love the complaint that its too hot in there room. I respond “I’m sorry to hear that, may I ask how hot it is in your room?” “I can only get it down to 76, and I had to sleep with a wet towel on my head.” I wish I could say “Well maybe if your company wasn’t so fucking cheap they would not have a convention in Phoenix in July”, but I can’t and then I lie to them and tell them that engineering will come up and fix there A/C. But I really know that there is nothing they can do.
That wasn’t that hard I just wrote this whole blog while taking a poop at work. On my cell phone, I should do this more often. That is upkeep my blog, not poop and blog simultaneously right before my shift starts, right after I clocked in.

My first blog
To start my first blog I'll introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old young male from Tempe, AZ, the hottest place in the f-ing world right now. But the heat doesn't get to me that much because I've been living in the same hell hole my entire life. That's enough about me you'll get to know me through my future blogs.
Now on to the things that are on my mind today and I'll start with sports;
Should the DBacks sign Barry Bonds?
Simply put YES! Don't hate the player, hate the game. Just because Barry was the best player when most of baseball was on steroids doesn't mean he the one to blame. People should start blaming Bud for allowing it to happen. Bottom line DBacks should sign him because fans like to see a winning team. We need a bat to protect the line up. If we get Barry we can run away with the NL West, and you can't argue that point. Sign him before the Red Sox realize that Big Papi won't be coming back anytime soon.
I'm tired of people getting all over Barry for taking roids. He cheated becasue everyone else was, Barry was actually late to the craze and he wanted to catch up with McGwire and Sosa. My question to all the haters out there is if someone came to you and told you that all your coworkers were taking a drug making them a better employee and causing them to out preform you, would you not consider taking it? You have to look at the situation from the big picture and put your morals aside and ask yourself what you would of done in his situation. Most of the pitchers that were throwing to him were juiced so were was his advantage. Every player had the ability to roid for years without any problems from MLB and Bud. This is because everyone loves the long ball, and it helped the game revive it self after the strike. Once again, don't hate the player, hate the game.
