the worst blogger

Thank goodness there are still people that go to EXTREME lengths to create something amazing!

This is ‘Muto’…a stop animation created with some spray paint and a camera.

I’m back! Thanks again to Josh for guest blogging!

It was a great trip to see a lot of fantastic family…like so

Left to Right: Mom, Jess, Cousin Keri and Daughter Emily, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Rick

Jess in front of the White House contemplating jumping the fence…

This is us upset after we found out that the Washington Monument is in fact NOT a really tall roller coaster…

I also made a mini-montage of my brute strength…

It’s good to be home!

big and bleeding for me.

guest blogging for smithers. so this is what i’ve stooped too…

no, in all seriousness, i’m honored to be asked/told.

i’ve been thinking a lot about cynicism lately. i get told a lot that i shouldn’t get so involved with politics, social justice issues, things like that. and generally, the reason behind these opinions is something along the lines of “you can’t change it, so why bother?”

call me bold, but i think that thinking is straight from the pit of hell. i am not kidding. i am not trying to be drastic. honest to goodness, i can’t fathom why anyone would think it’s a good idea to stick your head in the sand and pretend like there aren’t so many things out there for us to “fix.” don’t get me wrong, i’m not expecting people to try and fix everything, but people are called to different areas, and that’s just fine.

my problem comes from people who don’t think anything is worthwhile. apathy has got to be one of the most dangerous personality traits… truly. i mean, follow this for a moment…. what would have happened if martin luther king jr. decided that “i’ll never make a difference?” mother theresa? rosa parks? jesus himself?

i can think of no greater danger than that of the indifference of good men and women. i can think of no worse way to waste away a life than to believe you cannot make a difference. if you struggle with apathy, i would challenge those of you out there to take a serious look at yourself and find something, anything, that you get fired up and passionate about… and take it by the reigns. do something with it! don’t live your life skipping through your imaginary tulips expecting things to get better without getting your hands dirty!

be bold!

Hey everyone! I’m off for a few days to see some awesome family up (or is it down?) in Maryland.

Peace!

We’ve been in our first house for almost a year now and I only have own nugget of wisdom worth sharing…

Don’t put up a 6ft. high privacy fence…EVER.

We were just getting to know our neighbors with backyard “hi-how-are-you’s,” but as soon as we put it up all conversation ceased and I haven’t spoken with our neighbors in a month or so.

Jason=Big Dummy

Got any moron moves worth sharing for us to learn from?

Yes, the votes are in and we’ve heard the popular vote….

….we are buying a hamster.

So I’ve put a list together to help Jess and I make a decision between buying a new puppy or having a child.

Awesome things about a puppy

• Puppies are cute and fuzzy
• They pee outside
• You can fix them so they can’t give you grandchildren when they are 16
• They don’t need to go to College

Awesome things about a baby

• They can also be trained to pee outside
• They are like birds so you can teach them whatever words you want like “For realz yo”
• You can dress them in rad cloths like so> Diaper Loading
• They won’t eat your table legs…unless provoked.

Well…they’re tied…any help?

So 1 trip to the vet, 4 shots and 2 cups of Benedryl make one very jacked up Gizmo…

This may not look weird…but after about 2 hours sitting in the same place with the same nonblinking expression leads me to believe my dog has a drug problem.

I think it’s time for an intervention.
