Cops addiction

Kyle — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:21:41 +0000

So I’m sure that everyone has heard of the tv show, Cops. If you haven’t, well, turn on your tv sometime. Anyways, like I was sayin.. If you spend most of your time awake while others are asleep you soon find out television sucks in the wee morning hours. Everything on sucks… that is… besides for Cops. Recently, I have watched Cops more than I probably should. It’s just so easy to watch! However, I would like to say how much I hate the Cops variations, like the beach cops and such as that… very painful to have to sit through that. No high speed chases, no drug-crazed loonies punching at cops… Isn’t it bad we turn to our violent criminals for entertainment? But oh how joyful it is anyways!

The Invisible Children - The Rescue

Kyle — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 03:50:49 +0000

Hey guys you should all come to The RESCUE on April 25th in a city near you! This will be one of their biggest events ever, and its going on in 100 different cities, in 9 different countries! It’s being put on by an organization called Invisible Children. They’re trying to put and end to a 23 year long war going on in Uganda, Africa that is forcing children to be soldiers in this violent war. At the RESCUE we will “abduct” ourselves to symbolize the abducted children in Uganda. It is an overnight event but come for as long as you can! Check out their website for more information.

Here’s a little video of theirs:

New sites

So I finally did it, I went and bought some new websites. I really enjoy wakeboarding, so I decided it was time to make something of it. I bought wake1080.com and wakeboard101.com, so we shall see how these turn out! I am planning for one to be a slick reviews/user blog/videos site, while the other should be a beginning to wakeboard site. I have been wakeboarding for a couple years and have the basics down strong. I plan on teaching as I learn so I can express what mistakes I may make during the process, so that will help those learning out! If you have any ideas/suggestions just let me know!

Colorado

Hey guys,

So for those of you who don’t know me, I’m a college student. Over my christmas break I felt like I needed to get away from everything so I went on a little trip with my bro, Bryan, and some of his pals to the grand Colorado.

It was an amazing time, kickin back in at the Keystone Resort. We spent 4 days on the slopes, one on Keystone, two on Breck, and one at Vail. Also, we layed the smackdown during Keystone’s night sessions… literally, the smackdown. We were basically all newbs at boardin, I’d been a couple times before and everyone else had a similar background.

Either way, it was a badass time and if I was going to recommend one of the parks, you should definitely hit up Breckenridge mainly, but Keystone was pretty cool also. I personally was not a huge fan of the Vail, it seemed like it was mainly geared towards old grumpy skiing men. Also, a little word of advice, stay away from catwalks unless you want to associate your shins/calfs with FIRE.

Here’s a little picture I took at Keystone, pretty awesome view. I think it was at the start of the Schoolmarm trail, which is open during the night sessions as well… Amazing!

New ride

So I recently got rid of my 2002 Eclipse for a 1999 Dakota. Good switch, I must say. There is something about cars that I just don’t exactly get along with. The only plus to a car for me would be… handling and gas mileage.

The new truck is raking in a SMASHING 15.53 mpg. In all reality, though, my eclipse was only obtaining 28 mpg on its better tanks. This means twice as much in gas money, which is no real big deal.

For a little explanation about the truck, 1999 Dodge Dakota Ext. Cab. It has a 5.2 318 V8, automatic, 4×4. She’s no beauty queen, but thats not the reason I got her! This summer I plan to spend muchos time out on the river, and my eclipse was not exactly up for the task of pulling a boat. Hopefully I can get a picture up of my beast of a truck soon.

For all you Dodge Dakota lovers out there, feel free to comment!

Also, more is to come about this river-rat nonsense… I plan to start up a wake-boarding site this summer and take over the world with it. Keep up to date.

It’s been a while…

Crusade against ridiculous forwards.

Kyle — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:16:55 +0000

I always get stupid forwarded text messages saying things like you have been cursed! If you don’t send this to 12 of your closest friends in the next 12 minutes you will have a tainted love life for 12 years. This is ridiculous. By now, I will be 1000 years old before I have any sort of relationship according to these silly messages. Who actually sits around and decides, I want to create a forward. What kind of boring life would you have to live? I could think of 1000’s of different things to spend my time. Next time you receive on of these save everyone else the trouble and don’t forward it. Thanks.

College Tidbits

Kyle — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:13:27 +0000

I’m starting my second semester at the University of Missouri- Columbia, and there are a few things I have found that can be helpful for college life. I’ll make sure to post stuff up as I realize it.

Dropping cash on textbooks….

So you have or soon will find out that books in college require serious cash, but here are a few tips to help ya out. Go to class for a little bit before you go ahead and buy the book, you may not need it. Also, instead of buying the book from your on-campus book store, look around. I would recommend Ebay, half.com, or Amazon. Used books obviously work just as good as new. Plus, when you are done, you can turn around and sell them online to make MORE money than you would get selling them back to your book store. Check into it.

Get free music and movies from Itunes share

I recently heard of a program called Mojo which allows people to share all their goodies on itunes. I was playing with it just today on campus and I was able to find thousands of songs and movies all to my disposal. Very quick, very easy. Comes up with a list of everyone that its able to find and then you just click on them to look at their library. Check it out.
