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

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!

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

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

Hello all, i have been a bit lazy and busy with school in full blow these days. So i don't get to post as much as i like. But the main deal is i don't have a whole lot to post about whner i just work and do school. So sorry im gonna be lame for a few months and hopefully get some good stuff up on here soon! Take care all!

madisen playing JV for LAKE

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
