I thought this montage was brilliant. I love the gold thing and all the pelvic gyrations. I wear my gold thingy often. ...and no I'm not gay.

We went on a hike up Adam's canyon in the rain. It was Natalies first hike. She took to hiking like a fish to water. I could not keep up with her at times. She wanted to go to the " high point", and was very disappointed when we turned around. I was really pleased with how well she did and how excited she was for the hike. She ran the bottom switchbacks like it was nothin, saying see ya! and taking off. It was fun to go with Thor and his girls and TIm and Cooper.
I went golfing with Ty, Andy and Tim up at Davis. It was my first of the year. I appreciate the tips from Ty and Andy. Not bragging but I almost hit Tyler and Tim in one shot, sorry.
Today, I was craving something so I mixed a half can of OJ, ice cubes, 3/4 cup of sugar and a cap of Vanilla extract and a cup of milk with the final secret ingredient---Yes a full can of Mountain DEW!!!!! Ahhhhhh Yeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!1
So we went to the Cure last night, it was good to be out with Lori kid free. We met Jen, Stacie and Thor and JEn at Charlie Chows for Dinner, then off to the concert. It was a good show and it was much like the last show I went to except for some new songs. They played for an eternity. I am getting old , I loved the first half, I wanted to leave during the middle and loved the end. They played a great version of the Forest followed by Boys Don't Cry 10:15, abd Killing an Arab..that was Awesome. It was late so we left, I don't know if they played any more. Overall a good time, but my concert days might be coming to an end....NIN maybe hmmmm. When you don't need earplugs anymore you might be getting old(ish)

I look at my kids and I am humbled by them. They are so sweet and full of love and life. I heard a stat that kids need 20 minutes of one on one quality time with their parents a day. Lori gets an entire day with them, I see them for two to three hours. We send them off to bed and the I wake up. I wake Addy up and the day starts over. SO I have 2 to 3 hours to spend with 4 kids and try not to neglect my wife (which often happens). How often do they end up in front of the TV or pawned off on a babysitter(not enough maybe). It really makes me question my priorities. We only have these children for a brief time in reality. I am not a perfect person but I can strive to be perfect in making sure my family knows that I love them, it doesn't always have to be spoken but it should always be shown. If they don't know that I love them then I have failed indeed.
Being a Joy Division fan, behold a band emerges that sounds strangely similar, yet they are unique and completely awesome. I saw them a few years ago with the Cure. One of two things happen after concerts, I either never listen to the band again or I become a fan. For example: Social D, Dramaram, The Rollins Band, The Womderstuff, 3rd Floor, The Smoking Popes, the Bravery and Catherine Wheel. Conversely, I rarley listen to Rush, DM, Primus, The Killers, Crowded House, Bush, or the Candyskins anymore.

So I read my sis's blog it was quite inspiring. I though I would give it a try. 34 for the years I 've been.
1. Grandma Bonnie, she left this world when I was eight. I did not comprehend it at the time. I thought it was a cruel joke. She was a big part of my world as a kid. I have felt her close at times during my life, its a weird comfortable feeling.
2. Water. I love the sound of running water. It puts me in a zen like state. I remember as a small child laying at the door when my dad took a shower.
3. The water reminded me of trains. I love the sound of trains as well. One of my favorite albums is entitled "Chill out" from the KLF. They incorporate the sounds of trains throughout the album.
4. Music ,there was a time I was obsessed with music, eat drink sleep music. I would often fall a sleep with my walkman set to repeat on the cassette. I have since cut way back but I love to talk music and have very strong opinions on much of the low-rate tripe that spews out of the airways.
5. Patriotism: Love of country was instilled early in my life, whether through my Dad, scouting or JROTC. It was solidified in the 4 years of high school ROTC. I get choked up when I see the names of the men and women that died each week. The men and women who die for my freedom is a sacred thing, it infuriates me that the politicians and the media tie their hands and get them killed.
6. Microbiology: I find the world of the unseen organism that surround us fascinaiting.
7. Books: I was an asthma shut -in for a good portion of my early years. I read alot, Grandma Alta got me into the Westerns. This is another topic too large for now.
8. Robert Doyle: Some of you know him most of you don't. He was a youth leader that had a profound effect on me. He gave me a compliment one day that changed how I thought about myself and it has become a mantra on how I try to live. He passed away when I was in NC on my mission. He was around my age now when he died.
9. The desert: I love the desert, the Sonoran to be specific. I love the early mornings when everything is alive. Many hours spent looking through Arizona highways. Sedona, Moab, Arches.
10. Techno: love hate love hate love.
11. The hotel: a special kind of hell, but it was where I met Lori. Only those that worked there know what I mean. Maybe everyone has had a soul sucking job.
12. Alpha (tragic) I loved my time working for the Alpha team. I met the coolest people over the 4.5 years. It got me through school and helped me keep my sanity.
13. I am a libertarian at heart, I want to be free, free to have a good time hey come on lets get loaded. (primal scream).
14. I like to quote obscure lyrics and watch peoples expressions. The more confused the better.
15. I run for the pure challenge of it. It is not fun, it is work.
16. There exists a strange video created by Travis, Cliff and others that I hope was destroyed.
17. I miss the traditional mosh pits. There was a time when it was a controlled chaos of fun.
18. My brothers and I fought like mad growing up. Maybe that is why we get along now. I am proud of their success's in life. My sisterss are rocks of strength.
19. Addy is my independent daughter that I wish I could show her the potential I see in her.
20. Natalie is a kindred spirit, going through the early asthma trials with her solidified a deep bond. I think I have a glimpse of what my parents went through with me.
21. Nathan makes me smile when he walks into the room. He is a unique and funny little guy. Smart as a whip and tough as nails. If his sister hadn't taught him to cry he rarely would.
22. Johnny Nixon. Wow, It would not be a stretch to say my children make life worth living.
23. Lori Ann. We have been married 11 or 12 years. We have been through the grinder of life together and have come out stronger than ever. I love her now more than ever.
24. Non sequiter--Radiohead is one of the best bands.
25. Pink Floyd brings out such deep and sometimes painful memories I can rarely listen to them any more. Specifcally A momentary lapse of reason.
26. I am an observer, I see things going on around me , my nicknames were Gumby, Radar and Peanut in High School. As well as being called by my last name.
27. Mesa Temple: Suffice it to say this is one of the most sacred spots on the planet for me.
28. I miss my Phoenix friends still after all these years. I see a couple on occasion.
29. I have an intense desire to learn the guitar and the saxophone.
30. My favorite song is That Smiling Face by Camouflage.
31. Ironing is zen.
32. I never wanted to exist after my 18th birthday, (how I have changed).
33. I love U2 up through Achtung Baby.
34. I tend to only see the best in the people I am close to or who I consider friends. I have learned to never be offended and never hold a grudge, like I said I want to be free.
Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond The Call Of Duty has brought listening bliss. My favourite track is the Love Kittens: WhAT gOES ON (Orbital Remix). There is also a great version of Higher than the Sun remix as well. Can we ever really get higher than the sun?
The Orb remixes are genius.
Three of my favorite artists on one stage....wow
Sit back, relax and enjoy
This is another classic I had forgotten about.
Wow, I forgot about this one...incredible.
As I get older and life flies along at a break neck speed, it is the quiet moments I look f forward to. The Sabbath seems to be a source of real rejuvination for me if I use it for such. The tv has to be off for most of the day if not all. My heart has to be framed for the spiritual. This means that church and the sacrament must be attended. I have found peace in the hymns. " I love the Lord" I know my Redeemer lives and O Nata Lux have calmed my soul on many occasions. It funny when I have a very calm uplifting Sunday I find myself wanting that the rest of the week. The trick is to feel that way on Friday.
