A Great Call

Great track and field calls are few and far between but this one is all time!

Fucking With Hack

Our Ute Boy; Tommy Hack is getting some run on the Crossfit main site these days. Second fittest man in the world, and one of the funnier guy's I know.

Kooks Abound

I don't know what it is about snow sports and attracting moron's. But they seem to be the majority leader's on the Mtn's these days. Maybe I'm the one off, I don't know. Any way my boys over at BAF posted this and I thought I would share in the fun.

The Wheeled Man Speaks!

Silence! Steven Hawking has something he would like to say; "Aliens Are Real Bitches!"

I Am The River Deacon

BoonDogles Got a Bull

If you wrote off BoonDocks in Downtown Bend, it may be time to re-think that. Management found a Mechanical Bull on Craigslist and threw the thing in the Bar room.


Big fun at Boondocks these days



Josh Mills Go's Urban Cowboy

Aron Ralston = Another East Coast Yahoo

So this past summer I finally got around to Reading Aron Ralston's "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." Ralston's own story about how he went into a super remote slot canyon in south eastern Utah's Canyon Lands N.P. with out telling any one of his plans and then had a rock fall onto his arm and pin him in place. Days later, out of food and water Ralston then became desperate and cut his own arm off (ballsy no doubt). In the book you can clearly tell two things 1) Ralston is another east coast transplant that thinks that going into the Mountains and River's of the west are the same as playing in a local city park that will yield little or no consequences for his stupid actions. At one point he risk's the lives of his entire back country ski party when he triggers an Avalanche trying to get a few selfish pow turns in. 2) He's an arrogant elitist who thinks he's better than others because of the experience's he's had or things he's seen. In particular one part of the book Ralston claims that in 2002 he saw three Wolves running across an open Meadow on one of his "14er" solo missions (I'm not getting into that part of the book) He then goes on to claim that he was the first person to spot wolves in Colorado in over six decades. Now this past little snippet from the book made me so mad I actually sent an inquiry to the Colorado Department of Fish & Wildlife to see if there was any validity to this story. Attached is the return e-mail from them:



Good Proof I think that Ralston is a kook who makes things up to further romanticize his life and to further separate him self from all of us "less privileged." The only wolves that were in Colorado at that time were probably near the Wyoming border not all the way into south central Colorado (See link for claimed location).

Beer

Henry's used to have the best commercials! Im suprised this is the only one I could find.

Some Words to Contenplate.

I Think over again my small adventures.

My Fear,
Those Small ones that seemed so big.

For all the Vital things
I had to get and to reach.

And yet there is only one great thing,
The only Thing.

To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world.

Turkish Wah?

Just got back from a Crossfit Kettle Bell Cert. In Bellingham Washington, taught by Jeff Martone. Great class and actually got to see him perform a "Turkish Get Up" with a Human as the weight. Pretty freakin' cool! Below is Jeff lifting another human being.

St. Patricks Day in Three's

Three Movies To Watch:
1. Boone Dock Saints
2. The Boxer
3. The Field

Three Songs to Slam Guinness too:
1. I'm shipping up to Boston, The Dropkick Murphys
2. The Foggy Dew, The Dubliners
3. Whistle the Wind, Flogging Molly (for when you good and emotionally drunk)
4. (Honorable mention) White, Orange and Green. Celtic Souls

Three little known facts about St. Patrick's Day:
1. St. Patrick wasn't Irish,He was British and was actually kidnapped at the age of 16 by Irish raiders. He spent 6 years tending to flocks of sheep mostly in solitude in the Irish country side. Some where in this time period is where historians believe he "found religion."
2. St. Patrick incorporated old Irish Pegan beliefs and symbols into his teachings instead of totally eradicating them. Most notably the the circle that is incorporated into the Celtic cross that represents the sun, the Pegans equivalent to the Christians cross.
3. Yes it's a religious holiday. And Lent is waived in honor of it so people are allowed to feast on meat, booze, and all the above.

Three Red Heads (or possibly played one in a movie) I would like to take home:
1. Alice Eve (It's arguable if she's really a red head but, I don't care she's super hot in "Crossing Over" as the Irish immigrant)
2. Nicole Kidman
3. Kristen Stewart
4. (Honorable Mention) Georgia Salpa, she not a redhead but she is 100% Irish!

Three Best Beer's For St. Patricks Day:
1. Kilkenny, an Irish cream ale (Stomps Guinness as far as I'm concerned)
2. Guinness, Hey it's still really good.
3. Boddingtons

Three Best Liquors on St. Patty's:
1. Jameson's
2. Bushmills
3. What ever your friend buy's you!!!

Happy St. Patrick's everyone! Be safe and call a friend or taxi if you have to many!

To off set the ugliness

to make up for the picture in the last post (which is funny no doubt) I give you some soccer player I've never heard of but really enjoy looking at.

Had to!

I was gonna post a little bit on how cold it is in the house right now. Then, with the suddenness of a broke shoe lace I stumbled upon this Jem during my Google image search for "frozen beards". I now feel much warmer for laughing the past ten minutes.

Over Analyzing?

I may be over thinking this but I can't help but think that the hostess at croutons by the way she looked at me while she was handing me this number was trying to tell me something...

Portland Bums

Portland Bums are usually very obnoxious and gross but once in a great while there worth having around.

What Excuse Did You Use Today?

LIVIN

Back to normal after a long battle with peaches yesterday!

Currently at the ER

Peaches are the devil!!!!

Peach Poison

*I Made a smoothie this morning and had a little left over so I poured the remains into a small glass for Kyle. After consuming the glass he quickly sat up and asked "is there peaches in that?" apparently he's allergic. He's now at St. Charles for observation and in good spirits I would like to report. I was a bit nervous when the nurse came out to tell me that "Well... We've stabilized him." See ya in a few hours buddy!


This is Kyle Before Peaches


This is Kyle After Peaches...

Costal Rehash in a paragraph or less

late start, met up with Jordan and Kristin. Had some Cocktails with my 93 year old grandfather in Eugene. Woke up the next morning to Tsunami talk on the tv and radio as a 8.8 earth quake rocked Chile. Went to the wedding, had crazy good food there and a blast in general. Drove 3 hours back to sea food and wine fest. partied a little with the boys, slept on couch, woke up to Rosch eating potatoe chips at 3am. Drove the coast line with Jordan and Kristin, ate at Moe's, drink a beer on the beach while watching the sunset. watched movie and went to bed. Drove back with J and K as they acted like fuckn' 16 year old's in their first relationship, I vomit in my mouth.

Keep your children away from this man

The Happy Newly Wed's!

My Niece Before The Ceremony

I like this stuff


These two were so bad, it was like 14 year olds... gross.

Coast Bitches

Off to the Oregon Sea Food and Wine Fest. The self proclaimed Mardi Gras of the NW. Except we do it with wine and seafood instead of Beer and Beads. Pompous ass west coasters.

Its Friday and you know what that means!

FLA

Well I arrived in florida dead tired from a night of flying.  I slammed an americano, cam picked me up and we got our tuxes. I suggested that I should take a nap. His response, "naw fuck that man, we are gonna go find us a bar!" Then he proceeded to give me a cooler with my name on it full of bud light and jack daniels as a groomsmen gift.

The weekend in FLA has begun!

Dallas

It's 5:45 in Dallas and I'm diggin' how the ladies are looking.  Well put together, good looking and probably swimming in daddy's oil money!

Thoughts

I am kinda tipsy right now...
My last flight attendant smelled like sex...
People in Seattle love winter olympics...
The makers mark shot the barkeep is pouring looks repulsive...

Alaskan Amber @ Anthony's

Housing ambers before my red eye to Dallas!

Inconceivable!

I was in a bad need of a shave today, but as I lathered my face with my favorite shaving cream my long hair (that I'm growing out for Locks of Love) kept falling into my face and hence getting in the way of my razor. As I pulled my hair back I thought "hmmm, I bet I could have a pony tail by this point." Holy shit, I am now officially ready to play the Princes Bride. I never thought...

Le Redmond

Just crushed port of subs and a cutie @ Le Redmond airport! Whatcha know about that??

Snow

After as long a drought as I can remember in the recent past, we finaly got some snow at the mountain. For all of you stuck behind he desk today, don't worry it wasn't that great, but it is better than that ice the last two weeks! Oh and head down to 10 barrel today for there grand opening and get some beer and steak fingers!

Headed to FLA for the weekend

Needing a break from the grind and 744, I'm flying out to FL tonight for my buddy Cam's wedding! Cam is a wild man, ex-marine, Gator football walk-on, and personal guard for two former presidents overseas. He was my neighbor for two years in Gainesville, and succeeded at showing me the finer things of Gainesville such as Mack's and Sonny's. Below is a picture of Cam taking a shower, moments after yelling at me for chucking rocks at his window!

Raising the Bar

Cal Pole Vaulter Allison Stokke is the 744's New favorite student athlete and for good reason! She's a 4.0 student. I'm not sure if Cal got that 100% right though. She looks more like a 10.0 to us.
