For a while now I've been into taking songs I love and editing footage into them. Most of the film has been take from trips to Utah, vacations, business trips and places around Denver. I've done 3 videos so far, this was my first attempt.



This one of my favorite song by one of my favorite artists... Band Of Horses. This video is all just family and friends. I used Sony Vegas Pro and Final Cut Pro.

I noticed today that I don't post often. But I really noticed that I don't post pictures. Here are a few from my recent trip to Utah.

This is Peri and Mehmet Okur. First, she's not even a sports fan. Second, he's huge. Third, I'm so jealous.


This is Milo and Sal. Talk about two cute kids. I left straight for the airport after this picture. Sal asked where I was going and I said to Denver. He then told me "then Peri and I will hangout". I broke the news to him that she was going back to Denver also. The kid cried... it was heartbreaking.



This was taken at Benihana in SLC. Notice the creepy statue dude (not Silas). It was great seeing everyone. Thanks Ben!

I know it's been sometime but, things have been a little busy lately. I have some news for all of you who care to hear it. I am now engaged. I know that is somewhat of a surprise she said yes. But after slipping large amounts of drugs into Peri's Diet Coke, she said yes.

The date has been set for Saturday, August 16th, 2008. We will be getting married in the Salt Lake Temple earlier that day then the receptions will be held in Oakley, Utah at the school (www.oakley-school.com) Peri's mom works for.

I am the most lucky man alive. I never thought that I would meet the girl of my dreams, but I did. I am so thankful for her and her family (minus liking the Spurs).

Thank you all.

Punch/kick him in the junk for me. What a jerk this guy is. Brev is the king of meanness/hate crimes. He, and his fancy new yahoo.com job, thinks he can walk all over us non-west coasterners. I’m not sure if I was the only one tortured by his Christmas gift but if you were subject to his pure unkindness then please let me know. Brev had the audacity to send me an In-N-Out gift card for this supposed merry time of year. He knows of my love for their delicious hamburgers they serve, yet he also knows that in the great state of Colo”rad”o we lack that tasty establishment. So what now? If I take a trip to California I’m sure it would be to visit him, maybe I could use it then. NO WAY. I will not enter that state with such a blasphemous human. I wish to send Brev a message in hopes that he will read this blog. If you are the vial Brev then please read below.


Dear Brev,


I am not at all amused by your apparent lack of respect. I am heavily suprised at this hate crime you have committed. In return I will be sending you a Thurl Bailey music CD. I’m hoping that his beautiful voice will change your black heart/soul into at least a shade of dark gray, as I fear that is the only hope left for you. Please do not attempt to contact me in the future, as our friendship/brotherhood is over. Also, I’m sure that your new Silicon Valley constitutes will be of little comfort to you in these trying times. I hope you have been granted little satisfaction in this action, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Holiday decor around my house doesn't consist of much. There is only one small portion of my home you will find decorated in Christmas cheer. None of this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for my mother.



The year I moved to Denver my mom went all out for my first December away. She went out and bought 12 days worth of gifts and sent one package each day starting on December 14th. Each of the days corresponded with the famous "12 Days of Christmas" song (the John Denver and the Muppet's version was the best). I remember opening a package containing a Turtle chocolate bar and a Dove soap bar (i.e. Turtle Doves). Every present was sent with great thought.

So as I think about this holiday season, and how I've been working 12 hour days. I think back on that year and am not just reminded of the gifts my mom sent, but of my mom herself. Then I think about how excited I am every year to see my family and realize as always, that my family is the true gift of Christmas.

Merry Christmas

Just a hobby I've picked up as of late. The video is to a new Thrice song called Open Water that I really love. I put this together with what little footage I had from the last time Peri and I were in Utah. Sorry for the poor video quality, it really does look much better on a TV screen.
