WHOO HOO! none the less i shall get some juicy posts on here soon...

wow how i have neglected to blog or what....

2009-03-23T22:51:00.000-07:00

Hello friends and family! it has once again been too long since i have posted anything here. To be completely honest i am not too sure as to why i haven't posted naything. The fact that i have a new camera to myself and 250 pics on it and i still haven't posted anything....? I guess i have just been lazy and busy at the same time. Or maybe i have been lacking my creative side due to school and work. Or maybe it is becasue i have been doing the facebook thing more often thatn not. Well whatever but i am going to try and make a come back here.
I have recently been just hanging out and doing the school thing and work thing. The same old routine which is killing me inside. I am getting quite tired of losing my nights to school and work 7 days a week. It really has been taking a toll on me without me even knowing it. None the less i'm getting pretty sick and tired of it. But i am on spring break currently and enjoying a quite a bit. I get to do the things around the house that i find the excuse not to do when i'm in school. I have already done half of my spring cleaning and its only been spring for less than a week.
What is really exciting to me lately is that i can finally start to feel that i'm near the end of my college career(for now....). I have 5 classes left to take then i have fulfilled my credits to obtain a bachelors degree in interdiciplinary studies with a minor in general business. I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm also very excited these days over the new sounders fc mls team! I attended the inaugural game this past week and i had an amazing time! It is all that the i thought it would be. I love the worlds beautiful game and i'm glad it has landed in seattle. It is the only season tickets i can kinda afford(thx student loan) for the next 3 seasons until the prices will go up. I have been really interested lately in traveluing and getting out of the country to see the world. I have 3 close friends who are doing so as we speak and i have been able to catch up with them via facebook and i really am excited for them and it makes me want to experience what they are doing currently. I am and have been planning on going to europe this summer and i have narowed it down to go in the month of september and october. I have heard good things about going that time of year. I really want to go and see as many places as i can to really get a sence of the history that littered through out the continent there. I am going to take a geography class on europe and russia thsi spring quarter so i will be an expert on where to go and not to go. I plan on going with my freind drew who has been before but when he was younger. We both want to go and experience the freedoms of travel and do what we want to do when we want to do it. It is a very exciting trip to look forward to. the onyl way i'm able to finace it is through the remaining dollars of my student loan which i feel is the best way to spend it.

In less than 6 hours i will be on a plane to tempe az to go stay with kellen loveless for a couple of days before i have to be back at work. I'm going strictly for relaxation and to get some vitmin d in my system. I will try and see my family and friends there but i'm not sure if i will make it happen due to transportation issues. But i will see what i can do. I just really want to lay by kellens sweet ass pool he has at his apartment complex and get lost in a book. I plan to read a book by jimmy buffet. It seems like a perfect book to read to just get away with and dream about living on an island in the carribean. (at least i hope that is what this book will be about...)

I'm currently fighting myself to get the motivation to go the gym multiple times a week. I regained membership in feb and have been probably only 5 times. I have the hardest time trying to start a new routine in life. It is one of the hardest things for me to do and i have been struggling with it for sometime now. I want many things to change in life but i'm not able to fulfill the desitres yet. I have a lack of drive and it is hard to pin point why i can meet my own presonal demands that i have running through out my mind from time to time. I really want to lose some weight and get into decent shape so i can play soccer again. I want to play outdoor soccer and beable to play without getting so damn winded. I have missed playing and scoring goals so much. I also want to start to eat healthy but it is so hard. i guess laziness is my problem these days. But in time i will be able to conquer these feats i feel. I really think after college i can hopefully get a job where i don't have to work nights so i can mixed up my lifestyle and do the things i want to do.
I have also been thinking about how i don't do enough for the community at large and i feel it is necessary for myself to give back to the commmunity becasue i subconsiously take this life for granted and don't open my eyes to how many people in this world dont' have a fraction of what i have. I mean i have the best family and friends anyone in this world could ask for. I have experiecned in school this past quarter that people need help through out our community and with the help of a few classmates, i want to start and give necessities to folks who live at a tent city or to homeless in seattle. there are give or take 8000 homeless people ranging from adults to women and children with only 2300 shelter beds offered. i want to help these people but in the end i just put helping aside and stay selffish. I will sooner than later act on this. I think i want to pass flyers out around my neighborhood and gain items that i can take to these people in need personnaly. This is my idea so far. I dunno jsut giving you all my thoughts.

Well i jsut typed and tryped and typed what was on my mind. Miss u all and i will be back to post pictures and pictures and more pictures! love you all night now!

leavin Fran fri evening. golgen gate

Nick in front of Caymus

me nick kellen and his roommate bobby

Hello!!! I'm back for a lil post here. So i have been busy with work ans school but luckily planned for this trip with the loveless family to napa valley for some wine tasting this past weekend! it was very fun and we got to hang out in san fran on friday after noon and sunday afternoon before we flew out. It was very nice. I have never been to san francisico and i'll tell ya, i love it there. It is a very laid back city that is very pretty and lots of water around. If i were to move from here theres a great poosibility i would be in the san fran! But no worries i'm not heading anywhere! On saturday we began our journey to see 3 wineries and get some tasting in. We went to caymus first then to far niente, and lastly went to a small vineyard owned by a man who let us into his home to get some tasting done. His winery was called adastra which my favorite because he had the best pinor noir ever! It was pretty cool becasue his vineyards are all certified organic and it was interesting to hear how he manages the vineyard to be organic. i in fact bought some that will be shipped to me in november! yum! On that saturday i had the best tasting chardonay and sauvighon blanc (sp) that i have ever had. It was amazing. we got to eat at some neat restaurants and one especially in napan which was called "kelly's no bad days" which is a place that has a cabo theme becasue the owner kelly use to visit there frequently. We got to chat with her a bit and really enjoyed her restaurant. She is miss anti hummer (the vehicle) and she says that she won't go back to cabo until they get rid of their new hummer dealership haha. She is quite serious about hating on hummers. It was pretty funny. She even has a bunch of signs in her restaurant that depict the hate on hummers. Pretty cool.

So none the les it was a fun trip and i'll show ya some pretty photos from the weekend and beautiful pictures of Far Nientes estate. It was gorgeous plus a garage full of kick ass cars. Miss ya all, i think i want to try and plan a night that everyione shold come over to our house and have a bottle or two of teh wine i vbought and chill out out! especailly since i missed the kick ass engagement party for joc and B.

me with a cool reflection on my shades

who doesn't love roads lined with trees!

would be a perfect picnic location

so my name was left off this board but of course the bry man took care of it and got me on there

barrels underneath the building in caves at far niente it goes on forever many many barrels

in the caves, a little nook area with bottles resting.

a kick ass ferrari that was a race car when the owner of far niente race back when alive

a dope 54 bentley. to its left was a 94 bentley

a very pretty church at washington square in san fran. it was right off a park that we hung out at on fri and sun.

this was a cool shot of two neat buildings in town. the smaller one is awesome with the copper turned turqouise look. and the triangle one is famous i think.....

i know i'm being lazy i guess

2008-10-03T11:35:00.000-07:00

Take care all!

madisen playing JV for LAKE

2008-09-17T14:38:00.000-07:00

Well it was last week that i took a day off from work and decided to travel up north to lake stevens to check out madisen playing on the JV team at Lake Stevens High School. I love the game of course so i had to catch at least one game before school starts in 6 days and i won't have any nights off. (LAME) So last thursday went up to amby's and rode with her and mads to her game and had a nice time hanging with my sis and checking out lake stevens high which i have never been to. It was a grerat game and madisen got the start which was dope! Also i love the fact that mads had the jersey number 4 which is what her big uncle Cole!!! had when he played in high school for the Vikings as well. (lake stevens' mascot is the vikings as well) the result was 4-0 and it was great to see a victory for the home team! Love you mads and i'm so proud your playing soccer in high school KICK ASS! also thanks amby for dinner after with you and clay. It was always quite tasty and a good time. I really wish i could make it up more often! check ya later ya'll

a couple of dave matthews pics

2008-09-17T14:33:00.001-07:00

Hola! i just wanted to throw on two photos of marnae and bennett from dave matthews. I snuck my camera in after being rejected the second time at the gate. Apparently your really not suppose to bring cameras to the show but i did!!!! Funny story though, i had to stash the camera down my pants in the groin region and once i made it through finally, the camera came flying out the bottom of my pants only 20 yards from the gate. oh man i grabbed it quick and threw it back down there haha. always good times at dave!!!! ps sorry jared for booting your camera on the concrete haha.

the past two weekends have been gun crazy fun!

2008-09-16T16:01:00.000-07:00

Ah hello there! long time no talk! well i have been enjoying the last of my summer before school starts with the excitment of shooting guns. My friend Drew has a gun of his own and his family owns the rest. I got to go shooting with him two weekends ago and this past weekend had wes and nick join me. we got to shoot a total of six differnet guns which was awesome. I have only shot a gun once before and it was only a few shots. This time drew and i went through around 1000 rounds two weeks ago and even more this past weekend! It was dope. Of course proper gun safety was practiced at all times!!! Down range!!!!!! it was it yeld out when noone is allowed to shoot. see even with beer in the mix we can be safe! The best part of going shooting though for me was being able to be in the middle of no where up on a mountain up some logging road. we were up on the hills above Plain washington and over looking lake wenatchee some 8 to 10 miles away. Pretty cool if ya ask me!

So i have never been too fond of guns as the are scary but with my boy drew around, there is more of an easy feeling towards them because i have someone with me who is smart and familiar with them. So shooting guns can be fun and not just terrifying! And by the way its def. not like the movies show! haha hitting a moving target is way harder than it looks haha. I had a hard time hittin a phone book with a shotgun only 10-15 yards away up about 15 feet in the air. So don't let the damn movies fool ya!

At night it was nice to relax out by the campfire on the wenatchee river where Drew's family has property over there on the river. It is some 10 mins away i think from matt lords property on the river.

So i had a dandy time shootin! AS well did nick and wes. This experience was nicks first time shooting a gun and it was hilarious to see because io loaded up a clip of 9mm and handed it to nick and on purpose didn't tell him he should have worn ear plugs and after the first to rounds he turns going nuts that it was so loud and his ears were ringing! haha then Drew yelled that he had to finish the clip before gettin plugs in haha. Always a good time. There was your initiation nick to the gun club with drew haha. I had experienced the same thing the weekend before.

Well all another post tomotrrow! talk to ya then. Peace and love

This would be when nick took his first shots! the pic. is small but haha no ear plugs(ps i think he said last night his right ear still is not the same.)

This is the view from the first weekend looking at lake wenatchee. It is further away than that as i was zoomed in as far as i far as it could.

A sunset shot from saturday night. lovely!

staying busy and enjoying the rest my summer!

2008-08-24T18:56:00.000-07:00

Well, well, it has been an exciting summer so far filled with good times out playing and staying on track with a stint at summer school. The trips to weddings with most importantly my sister getting knotted up with her true love. To working very little at indoor, to caching little kids some good soccer and assiting in the sweet remodel of my parents house. I have been mainly on track with this eventful summer and have enjoyed every bit of it. I had some fun by joining a coed outdoor team that i had my bros and friends nick and nolan play while i sat on the sidelines with my minor knee injury. It is better in a few weeks so i did get to play 2 games of goalie. Good times also when i did get a goal at our last game.

I have always appreciated the summer we have here. I think this place we live at is just beautiful even when it rains but when that sun is out man, gorgeous i tell ya! So none the less i have had many good memories created this summer that i won't forget for the rest of my life and im just too please that i was with all my family and loved ones at my sisters wedding last weekend. It just tickles me to the max that she is fianlly married and as happy as can be!

So while i ride the highs of this summer i will do the best i can to have a blast til i start school at teh end of sept. I will head off to dave matthews this coming weeknd at the gorge with my bros and good friends and will have a great time. It shall be interesting though to see how the shows play out as the lead saxophonist passed away this past week. A true tragedy but i think the show shall go on in the memory of Leroi Moore! Well i hope that everyone has had a great time this summer wand continue to end it on a high and be ready for the fall!

Love u all and i'll get back to another post hopefully in a couple of weeks!

I leave with a few photos from the great jocelyn and amby of myself and marnae! oh one of just me too! congrats sisiter i love you! And i hope you are enjoying cabo!!!!

i have been a ghost!!!!

2008-08-09T10:56:00.000-07:00

Hello! i have been nonexistent lately on here and man i'm sorry but i have been staying pretty busy! I took summer school this year and was busy with that and working as well. So none the less i will get back here soon with some exciting stuff hopefully! 1 week until the wedding!! i'm so damn excited! Love you all , congrats jocelyn and bennett and take care now everyone!

the past weekend on the other side of the mountains

2008-07-14T11:04:00.000-07:00

Hello! this past weekend, myself, brothers, marnae, Matt, Michael, Janna, Steve McCrae, and my folks went over friday morning to M.Lords cabin near Plain and 17 miles out from leavenworth. Its a nice little house type cabin that is on the wenatchee river. We all went over for a weeding in wenatchee on saturday evening. It was for LeAnne Maguhey (Sp?) She is the daughter of Don and Linda, my dads side of the family's childhood friends.

It was a nice weekend getaway with tons of relaxing and good socailization. We hung out friday and chilled then my bros, dad, mike, and I all drove up upstream and dropped in two rafts adn floated down the wenatchee river. It was soo much fun. Unfortuantley we got zero photos of it. The river was quite high and the women all thought it was too dangerous but in the end it was an easy ride that was perfect.

friday night was cool. We all had taco dinners and just chilled and crashed early. Saturday morning the men got up at 7 had breakfast and then went to Kahler Glen golf course and shot 18 beautiful holes. it was sweet but i suck at golf so it was a rough day on that note.

We had to rush back to the cabin and shower and get cleaned up fast so we wouldn't make us all late to the wedding. We made it to the church in time and witnessed and short n sweet wedding. Love was in the air and it was gorgeous. Then off to the wenatchee convention center where the party began. free wine and beer equals righteous times. We had soo much fun.

Just want to throw it out there that myself mom marnae and wes got the whole party started by hittin the dance floor to mr bon jovi and getting things rowdy! from then on we were a hit on the floor. all ten of us at some point were on the dace floor gettin it doen. It was awesome. Even Mr steve McCrae hit the dance floor whcih was a first for me to witness. None the less if ya want a lively bunch at a wedding, invite the harrison's,, MacCrae's and Soon to be Lord's. all have a great week in the sunshine! buhbi now

p.s. this is too long to edit so don't mind the typos haha

my sisters' boys

2008-07-09T12:07:00.001-07:00

Hello, got this photo sent to me by email from sister. Its her boys on saturday mornings on the weekly ride to the coffee stand. Damn cute! throw it on a hallmark card!

4th of july

2008-07-07T15:12:00.000-07:00

So the 4th of july this year was pretty entertaining. It started out with me waking up way to hung over to cope with what the day was going to hold for me. I was persuaded to hit up the bars down in kirkland the mnight before and had fun i and saw some people i haven't seen in a while but that always results in rounds of drinks so i had to much and paid for it in the morning. Woke up on the fourth in a haze and what not to do on the 4th than to cure a head ache with a bunch of fireworks! So sat in the driveway and lit off firecrackers and bottle rockets, talked to neighbors and did whatever i could to hide my pounding headache. Then it was BBQ time with 17 friends whom were attending the firework show on lake union that evening. I soon felt somewhat better when i was on the boat but decided not to drink but 2 beers after seeing the shit show the folk that i was with perform. So once again i showed pieces of responsibilty and was the sober one of the event. I assited in spending 45mins trying to anchor the boat down.(apparently its all sand at the bottom of l.union) I ended up having to catch a girl who tripped trying to hop from one boat to another, then had to clean up a bloody foot and throw a band aid on antoher ladies foot. I was kept busy but had fun in the meantime. Sober fun who knew...? Secretly my reason for not drinking besides a rough night before was to be completely aware and awake for the spectacular firework show that went on display at 10:20pm. (last year i drank to much i missed the majority of the firework show). I just loved seeing the show from the water. It was amazing and jamming to 102.5 which had a playlist going to the tempo of the firework show. It was dope. So in all a good trip minus a few pieces here and there. Jared's camera sucks becasue the owner doesn't take nearly enough pictures and it won't produce a shot at night so i will show a few i liked and one of how terrible his camera is haha. All i wanted was a gorgeous shot of the night light of the seattle skyline.

The weather has been great and I love that it is summer time because it gives me all the reason to go out on the loveless's boat. I was able to gets some solid sun and hours of good times this past weekend. So why not throw a few pics in. Nothing great but hey why not see how the brothers are doing.

Jared just soaking it in.

and Wesley. I think I just took that of him when he wasn't really paying attention.

What a great tease this weekend!!!!!

2008-05-19T12:06:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful weekend we had!!!! the sunshine brings out the best in everyone i believe! I had a lot of fun getting out on the lake both friday and saturday! i had to work both evenings so i used my strong will power and only drank 3 beers per day. I know i think i'm growing up a lil bit! So i have some photos to post of the lovely weekend!
Lets now hope that the sun returns soon!

A wazzu grad!!!!

2008-05-14T13:23:00.000-07:00

One of my best girlfriends Katie has just returned to the westside of the mts. from graduating from WSU. So proud of her and also she is the first crop of my friends to graduate. It is a great accomplishment and i couldn't be more excited for her! Crazy to think that if i had my shit together from day one, shit i could be graduating within a month. Oh well its not a race and in a couple years i'll be graduating myself.

So my brothers and my friend Drew went down to the u distric to meet up with katie and and other ladies from highschool to somewhat celebrate with her. The funny thing is we had planned to go to the ram in U village but it was way to crowded for our liking so we ended up at the dutchess up the road. It was great fun for all as it had fun activities at the bar such as pool, darts, shuffle board, and pop shot. We all had a great time but there was a moment of fued with us and katie as we were poking fun that we were celebrating for her at a bar that was covered with old husky memrobilia on the walls everywhere and purple everything. Haha it was fun and we will formally try to throw her a party with some cougar colors in the mix. Love you katie and i'm so happy for ya!

My two loving brothers...

2008-05-14T13:07:00.000-07:00

Hello! I have been very distant from my blog! ah i'm sorry but i just always dont know what to post and also i forget to capture the moments around my life on camera. I will hopefully get better soon!

So the other night, the brothers and i and some friends went out to kirkland to get some drinking done with a good friend of ours jaime who just recently moved back home from Hawaii where she was just living to get out the the state and try something new. Well she came back and it was time for her to do some drinking with the boys and well we accomplished what had set out to do. I have photos of wes sleeping, (passed out) on the carpet in front of my bedroom door because we are were wrestiling for a min. like kids again and he ended up not wanting to get up and hit the sack so he found comfort on the floor. *( i don't know how he does it) The best part is myself, jared and my buddy nolan were just hanging and it was late and jared out of the blue goes, "it looks comfortable where wes is at," and next thing you know jared knowingly posted up next to wes on the floor and passed out with him. Oh so damn cute right...? crazy shit if ya ask me. So i had to snap photos of how gay.. i mean thats not the right word, but how darling it is that they slept together on the floor in front of my door for a few hours before they woke up and hit the sack in the early hours of the morning. Jared's head was in my room so the door couldn't be shut. just funny and crazy. gotta love those guys! Also see the how wes crashes with phone in hand like he would wake up if it rang haha!

the batchelor pad!

2008-04-18T14:14:00.000-07:00

So this is the house that my brothers and cousin kyle moved into on march 1st. We love this house way more that the other two that we had been in the past year and a half. It is a nice lilttle tri level that is in pretty nice shape and gives us reason not to trash it. Mostly because I'm on the lease and the main guy with the responsibility. But yeah check it out and when the weather gets nicer, BBQ's at my place anytime! Oh and margaritas!

Hope you like it! It is an upgrade for us fellows. Now we all just need a night off of work together so we can start hosting little gatherings for some cocktails! Everyone have a good day! Spring should be here soon! (this rain n snow mix is horseshit after having last saturday in the 70's and i was on a boat drinking tequila!)

2008-04-11T13:38:00.000-07:00

So it was my brothers, cousin kyle, best friend Nick Loveless, our good friend Cameron and 3 buddies from the UW soccer team that we have qucikly created good relationships with and have new good quality friends. The Pics are some out of 700 so i'm just gonna post some good ones. Of course my favorite of myself is the first one!

We stayed at a brand new Villa that Nick's grandpa had built and we were the second guests to stay there! Oh so how lucky we were.

This is Marnae for Cole because I am tired of looking at the posting as well. Cole, Wes and Jared recently found a new place to rent and are all moved in. They have not set up internet yet and according to Cole that is why he hasn't had a chance to update his blog. He has also been working on a paper for school the past few weeks and turns it in today at five. Then he and the brothers and of course some friends are leaving on Easter to Cabo for spring break and are staying in the Loveless's brand new place for free. They will be the second guests to stay there. I am sure we will get some good pics on the blog when he returns.

The only thing I can really think about that would be a post of something Cole would put is (I will even try to use the words he would use) that about two weeks ago Matt and I went out for Omar's Birthday to the Parlor in Bellevue. Matt was suppose to be the DD but we both ended up getting shit faced and had to call brother Wes to come and pick us up. Wes and Nolan get to the parlor and we are all having a good time until Matt gets us kicked out of the bar for dancing on the furniture. Wes drives my car home and Matt rides with Nolan. Wes and I get home and about 10 minutes later Matt, Nolan, Cole and Jared walk in. I was done for the night and took a nap by the toilet, but the boys and Matt partied til 3 in the morning. Above are a few pics of the after party at our house.

Hello, Look at me to post in 2 days. Everybody needs to catch up with my pace! haha. Well, it was a lovely wed. night and i had missed out in a bowling adventure last weekend with the bros and some friends due to work early in the morning. So last night at work i was thinking about doing something fun and since i missed out on bowling, it wasn't hard to figure out what my wed. night was gonna turn out to be, a night at good ole K Lanes. (always as classy as ever by the way!) So, I haven't been bowling in years so i was pretty excited. Of course there was drinking involved to make it even that much better just bulshittin with the brothers, Nolan and his roommate. The last time i was bowling was on the Wii and hell, i figured since i was pretty decent at the video game that i was gonna be damn good at the real deal. Well let me tell you, getting cocky about how good of a bowler you are based on a video game, not too smart. I absolutly blow at bowling. I also don't want to blame the booze, so that is not an excuse. I didn't break a hundred the first game and would have the second game but apparently at 2am they turn off the lanes no matter how far along you are.
So, the best part of the night minus talking to a girl that was bowling a few lanes down that i have reconized from parites at my house multiple times but not having a damn clue what her name was nor did the bros was pretty funny. BUT, the best part is not realizing that throughout the night at some point i had ripped my pants at the crouch down the groin while bowling. I had no idea this had happen so who knows if it was the first bowl or one of my last, but i had to take a picture(kinda hard to see but you guys don't need a close up anyhow). A little embarrising but as i was drunk didn't care too much. So i dont know if i have bad form at bowling or if the pants were to tight or maybe if because i have gained a few LBs but the pants are no good anymore and i need to rethink what is ideal to wear while bowling. Thats my wed. night for yah. Thanks for reading if ya made it all the way through! haha lets all go bowling sometime good times!
PS. i did not watse my money at the casino this time..... but of course jared and wes played and both came up 40 bucks. I don't get gambling

glorious sunshine on top of the cascades!

2008-01-23T17:53:00.000-08:00

Hello, I went snowboarding yesterday morning and what it day it was! The conditions were fantastic! I love boardin when the sun is out. I favor it way more than when visibility is minimal with snow dumping on yah. I took these 3 photos at about 10:00am on the run tye mill at stevens pass. They are all taken with my cell phone so sorry if they don't turn out to well. You'll just have to take me snowboardin so you can see the marvelous scenery in person with me! I went with jared's work friend tyler and his mom. We had fun and i really enjoyed the snow as it hadn't froze over since the new snow on saturday so it was pretty soft but firm if can understand that. I went the fastest i have ever gone and loved it! Just cruzin down the hill and through trails. I have found myself a new love and hobbie but the thing that blows is i'm not quite rich enough to support my new found love. damn it. Oh well who needs a lot of money anyway. F it. All have a good night and day tomorrow and enjoy this beautiful sunshine! PS. anybody been catching some of these sunsets we've had the past few days!? I want a photo of the pinks and reds. Let me know!

truely the definition of a Hot Lunch!

2008-01-18T16:23:00.000-08:00

(decent picture.... i took it from my cell phone and texted to my email, didn't know i could do that until today!)

Well today Jared and I went to lunch in Bellevue at a Mexican place called Casa D's. My good friend Drew has been ranting and raving about how good of a burrito they have. So today was the day to test it out. We met My friend Drew there and were a little late and he had already eatin. So it was jared and i in line ordering at a place we have never been before. We both ordered the same thing (carne asada burrito) and when the question came up, "What kind of hot sause do you want on it?" Well, I was first and i said the hot one, and the guys responce was, "on a scale of 1 to 5, what do you want?" I felt a little spunky today and was down for a little spice so i got a 4. Jared followed me and was like yea i like spicy i'll get 5. Jared today by the way was quite hung over and had a headache and knew that mexican food (his favorite)would make him get better quickly. Well when we sat down to eat with Drew, i had my first bite and was astonished with how spicy my burrito was. I instanly went for some chips to counter the buring sensation. By then My friend Drew who has been there many times said, "what! you got a 4, haha i have never gotten that." Jared heard this obviously as he was sitting in front of me and was like F***, really!? I got a 5 on mine! Haha we all started laughing as this was pretty funny. Jared then suffered through the first few bites with no emotion and eventually we could see in his face that it was indeed way to hot. I with the 4 was doing all right. I did though have to eat chips in between bites and chug pop. I eventually finshed the burrito as it was a little better towards the end. But Jared could only eat half the burrito and threw in the towel. Drew then preached to us this is why he gets only medium because he actually "likes" the taste of the meat, beans, and rice in the burrtios. His sales pitch to us was obvioulsy not, hey guys come check out this mexican place, it has bomb hot sauce. In the end i believe the spicyness drove jared off the hang over. So a recommendation, try Casa D's but stay away from the 4's and 5's.

We took Johnnie for a walk!

2008-01-15T13:51:00.000-08:00

Hello! The other night, Nick brought over his gift for the bros and I that he bought in Mexico at the awesomne Liquor store in the airport. (the same place i bought my mother 2 cartons of cigarettes for her bday 2or3 years ago) It is a box of the 4 different kinds of Johnnie Walker scotch whiskey. I myself am not a huge fan of this drink but to have the chance to do a taste test to feel the difference of quality was pretty cool. It went teh red label first then the black, the gold and blue. In that order is the quality from cheaper to blue the most expensive. I could taste a difference in the 4 but not a whole lot between red and black. (every drink of those you could she a cringe in my facial expressions) But the gold and blue were pretty good considereing you don't shoot this alcohol. I wouldbn't pay for it but in all pretty smooth. The bros and Nick n Kellen had an overall good night gettin faded. We, then had a bad idea to go to the casino and all lost. I told them we shouldn't have gone but hey when in rome right..? haha Well i need to study for a quiz now. audios now. Have a good one everyone!

Don't hate me, I'm back!

2008-01-10T18:10:00.000-08:00

Hello, I'm back to post. It was a long fun and eventful decmeber resulting in myself not posting! Sorry but i was having to much fun which then led to hang overs and i don't blog hung over. Many friends of mine were back in town from school which was very nice. I was happy to party with some of the old folk from highschool. Always good times. Have to say december really kicked off with the xmas party at the Browns. We better be doin that every year. I love it especially since i got a killer hat. Hope everyone had a steller Christmas. Mine was great. I love family time. My lowest event of my month long break in december had to be the hole in the wall myself and bud JD put in my wall at my house. Of course it was a decision regreted immediatley. Its big enough hole to fit a small child around 5 or 6 years old to give you some sence of how big it is. So it just means my first project of fixing a wall. Yipee! I jump for joy.
I just found out that we sell heroin out of my house or at least my neighbor thinks so. haha. The landlord had us listen to a voicemail from the neighbor stating that there was always to many cars and people at the house leading the assumption we are heroin drug dealers. I think it is quite funny.
Another funny story from the month i neglected the blog, one night i left my snowboarding gloves on the fireplace to dry and since they are black cousin Kyle didn't notice them there when he built a fire to stay warm while he slept on the couch. He was awaken to the nasty smell of gloves burning quite fiercely and it scared the shit out of Kyle cause he thought the house was on fire. What a hoot but I'm out a pair of gloves which i need to snowboard tomorrow.
So, i have some pictures to show. The first one is of Kellen Loveless and I up at stevens when we went snowboarding.
The next one is on christmas day with the brothers Couson Kyle and damn near family, Nick and kellen Loveless. It was the first time i can remember it snowing on Christmas day so we play 3 on 3 football in the street to enjoy it. What a great day taht was.
The next pictures are from new years, where J-Bone planned with Haley and 2 of our girl friends from highschool a nice little rendevou in seattle. It was the first time we had experienced new years down town. We got a hotel room on the 21st floor at the grang Hyatt and had a view of the needle which the hotel clerk said there we no rooms left with a view. So we got lucky and were pleased minus the terrible firwork show that took place. Damn computers f***ed that one up. We started off the night by having bottle of champagne then went to dinner at some mexican restaurant that we chose becasue we saw it from the hotel room as we looked down. We then met up with some frinds of mine at Pesos on Queen Anne. It was a blast as we got there before the huge rush of people and had a table. Nothing but good times. I'll post my favorite 2 photos from that night later when i find them at home as I'm posting now from work. We got back to the hotel at bout 11:30pm in time for the bad firework show. WE had some more friends come back to our room and had a little hotel party until the security and cops came to the door and as quick thinkers we blamed it on the neighbors which worked beautifully.
Jared and Wes love new years so much and wes has set some kind of tradition but they have to have nice quality champagne. SO they both spent together nearly $400 on the bubbly. Wes had to get his favorite, the Dom Periogn. Spelling of course i have no idea. But yeah i dig it cause they let me drink some and i don't drop a dime on it. Once again always good times. So the pictures are there to check out.
As for me I'm back in school and i have classes mon and tues. nights. I'm inchin my slef closer and I'm proud of myself. yay for school...
What to look forward too, I'm going to Cabo for the 4th time for spring break. Can't wait and now its time to get rid of my belly so i can look good! Game on, touch back soon. hope you all had enough time during the day to read this haha i had some lost time to make up for.
PS, sorry i was such a disappointment joc and sundi! haha you guys are awesome thanks for the constuctive critisism. hah

2007-11-24T13:45:00.000-08:00

Hello! Thanksgiving was great this year minus missing some family members but what can you do. Seems like some like to go thier seperate ways. Good for them. Amby's house was fantastic once again for the wonderful gathering. I enjoyed myself but after the tackle football in the morning I knew i was doomed to pass out on the living room floor again after a full stomach of turkey. And of course my ass gets injured not once but twice this year! Typical me, my damn ankles and shoulders. Oh well. Once again i want to day how thankful i am for all my loving family, family friends and my close friends that keep me sane. Thanks!!! Chandler, I will try and get you a new stapler and some point in time but I'm not soo sure as you are evil for shocking me not once but twice. I almost think the stapler deserved it. I know for a fact that you wouldn't dare shock your mother so I Amby that your glad i busted it! Well all have a wonderful day and go dawgs!!!!! the 100th apple cup pretty impressive. For now audios!

2007-11-19T22:32:00.000-08:00

Why Hello everyone. I made the mistake of not bringing the camera with me at all this weekend so pics about my pretty fun weekend. It started out with throwing kyle the birthday bash on friday night which was fantanstic. It was bigger than expected always but naturally fun. I myself drank too much so I don't recal only the important things like seeing friends I haven't seen a quite some time and the responsible part of talking to cops a few times. no big deal. The day after was nothing to be proud of though. A dirty house and a hang over, always overrated. Saturday was full of no excitment but a 9 hour day at work hung!. Sunday was so much fun! i attended the hawks game and did tailgating to begin the day. It was sweet. A great game and good times with jared. Met up with Lord for a beer. Rumor had it Big Bennet was there but couldn't find him. so Jocelyn, please hook up that mans phone number in case something like this happens again. I sat way up at the top of the stadium but every seat is good. The 4thquarter tho jared and i met up with a girl who was sitting i think 13 rows up in the 100 level. It was awesome. Love it down there. I need to find season tickets in that area for sure. The photo above is a sunset from hermosa beach when the brothers and i went down there in Sept. It a pretty pic so i decidedc to show it. I personally like it myself as i took it. Well that is it from me. School is gettin down to the nitty gritty so i need to and wuill try to get focused. Love you all buhbinow!

Happy Birthday!!!

2007-11-13T13:12:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Cousin KYLE!
Today Kyle turns 20! I love the photo i took of him last night watching the game. He had just got home from work previously where he was puking all day because of the consequences of winning 10 games of beer pong in a row the night before at his buddies house. I'm turely impressed but i told him the it sucks to be so good and be so happy that he was winning but then the next day the complete opposite feeling it was he experienced. haha i think its awesome. I told him that he has another year to wake up hung and go to work and puke becasue by the time he's 21 he can't pull that shit anymore. haha. I love my family. Kyle is the best roommate we've had. Best wishes for him today and Friday night here at the house is a bash for him. Everyone is invited. Take care now!!!

Go Seahawks!

2007-11-13T12:54:00.000-08:00

Well Amby, its now Wes's turn to feature on a post!. Here is the big guy. We had a minor gathering for the seahawk game last night. always good times! We kicked off the evening by having Sushi for dinner at double A sushi (i believe) down there in Juanita across from the starbucks. The place is so cool becasue the sushi is made and then placed on a conveyer belt that runs the length of the place. It is sweet so you get to pick what you want to eat. I straight dig it. It was the first time that the bros and i have all had sushi together. I had a couple of buddies come as well. I have had a liking for sushi ever since i had it for the first time back in May when i went to california with my whoore of an ex girlfriend. Last night though was the first time i tried the rolls with the piece of raw fish on top of the roll. I didn't mind it at all. quite tasty. Ps. i love seahawk green!!!!!

Me and my buddy

2007-11-09T11:17:00.000-08:00

Hello! So I have been blogger lazy this week and have not done anything. But I did finally cave in as Marnae said and created a myspace. So we'll see how that goes. I had a little pressure from some buddies to get one going.
So I didn't know what picture to place on but one of me and Chandler. This was his game I went to go see the day after our halloween party. I was a bit hung! But in all it was a good game to see and check out how Chandler is doing in the game of soccer! He had a couple of solid back to back headers which was good. He was using textbook form right on the forehead. I'm proud. Also I was a bit disappointed on how the guys weren't so aggressive, so when Chan was on the field I told him from the sideline to foul someone and he responded I'll try! haha I love it. Unfortunatley the game ended before chandler cuold knock some kid on his ass. Oh well next time I say. To all have a good weekend and I shall take some good photos this weekend and post later. Oh and tonight is Trevor and Dereks little party thing at Traxx. I will win the fastest lap time. I'll let you know how it goes. Buhbi now!

sleeping beauties

2007-11-05T10:11:00.001-08:00

Hello all as i got up this morning to do some homework, I was pleased to see brohter jared and best bud Nick catching up on some Z's. too cute right...? haha the picture shows just how close our freindship is with the big guy we have known since kindergarden but also shows how confirmed they are with their sexuality. Like I always say, staighter than an arrow those two are. I know all the loose women out there would just love to be in bed with them haha. have a lovely monday!!!

Jbone the housewife

2007-11-03T14:10:00.000-07:00

Look at this guy cleaning the kitchen. The yellow gloves and all! Plus the little girl sweatshirt he is wearing really tops it off. He claims he has no sweatshrits so I guess he assumes the womens postion and keeps his dates sweatshirt after a night and usually it should go the other way around. haha makes me laugh. I snapped this picture when jared was cleaning the kitchen after our halloween party. Doesn't he look lovely. I only wish he would clean the kitchen more often. The yellow gloves by the way are a size small and I don't know how he can clean with them on. I put one on when I was cleaning the bathroom and I thought my fingers were going to fall off, so I can't use them. But only girls needs gloves anyway! He must have little hands. Well enough of me poking fun at jared. Just thought I'd give brother man some exposure on my blog with clothes on!. Have a good saturday!
PS. Sorry jocelyn i didn't pop you a message when i got started bloggin. I should be on the shit list haha. Your the influence be proud! Welp see ya later!

Halloween parties!

2007-10-30T13:31:00.000-07:00

Gotta love these kida of days but wierd also...?Oct 23rd and it hit 70 degress? wow 2 words global warming i think so also i want to say i'm sorry for everyone who is losing their house in california. Terrible fires going on. Makes me love western washington even more! no drought here ever. Have a good day!

costumes...?

2007-10-17T19:35:00.000-07:00

Hello all, today is a day that i have started to think about what to be for Halloween. Now i know some might be thinking, why does cole dress up for halloween...? No i'm not going trick or treating, and no i will not be that guy hiding on his front porch scaring kids that do trick or treating. But i know for sure that there are going to be some narly mid week halloween parties that i know i will be attending. Also i know there will be weekend bashes and i think my house on SAt. night should be a gathering. A costume party! So anyone shoot me ideas if you all have any on what i could be for halloween? Now think sexy but not too sexy, some skin but too much skin, and something that is cool and rad and awesome all mixed into one. let me know guys. This year needs to be better than my last years fat lady in a bikini get up. Holla back now. take care

Game on!

2007-10-16T19:43:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, so i created this blog in the summer for shits and never touched it again til tonihgt. I'm doing it. I want to have a blog to share with people since i spend so much time reading opther peoples. Also i want to be the first main male blogger in the family. I'm always trying to differentiate myself. I'm new and it will take me a bit to get this going but i'm game. I have jocelyn to look up to haha. well i'm back to wrk. Good night!

I'm joining the blogger society

2007-06-20T19:40:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been done. I will be a fellow blogger. After being pretty addicted to checking and reading jocelyns blog nearly everyday, I figured I shall start bloggin about my life and my family n friends. Lets hope I can keep at it and make it exciting to read and entertaining. I think I shall have a movie quote of the week going or something to spice it up. I do believe this shall be more fun than a myspace or facebook. As I have yet to fold and do that kinda thing. But now to say I'm a blogger, now that can be cool right...? This will also get me permission to use jbones camera now as he hardly uses it. This should also keep me busy at work as that is where I'm at right now. I have quite a bit of down time here so I don't feel guilty. Well I will soon get more added to my blog. I hope people will like it. Later and have a good day! peace love and rock n roll.
COLE
