Fast Cars and Freedom

I like motorcycles!






Especially when I get to ride them with buds out to the lake and watching the sunset with best buds.

Just some random ramblings...

“It is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost.”--Black Elk. (from one of my favorite books, Leadership and Self-Deception) Eyes unfortunately can expose your thoughts to those that look into them. They can serve as the medium in which to communicate when no words can seem to be found. Now this could be a good or bad thing... Saying one thing when inside your heart wants to say something else can prove to be more difficult than it seems. I've noticed that when in love you can find yourself learning a lot from the other person's eyes. It is in THEIR eyes where the past and future become unimportant to you, the present life only matters when with them and how to make them happy. My advice, wear sunglasses... :)

If chipmunks can have adventures, so can I!

Last weekend Julia and I were out at Walmart trying to find a tv to replace our currently dying placed in our living room when we happened to run across The Chipmunk Adventure dvd!!!! Ok, happened isn't the right word, we were searching the piles of cheap old dvds that sell for $4.99 desperately trying to find this gem of a movie. And yes, I've been to the store a couple other times only to return unsuccessful so you'll have to imagine the excitement Julia and I experienced that beautiful night!

I don't know how many of you have actually experienced this brilliant show of wit and humor displayed in this 1987 cartoon where Alvin, Simon, and Theodore compete against their rivals, the Chippettes, in a race around the world. Both groups set off on their adventure on hot air balloons and race to all corners of the earth dropping off character dolls of themselves, which in fact were filled with diamonds and $$ (unbeknown to our young adventurers), to various pit stops along their way. The clever tricks they play on their babysitter (my personal favorite character in the whole movie, Miss Miller), songs they sing, stunts they perform, and places they visit all add up to one heck of a movie!

My dream in life is to have an adventure like theirs! Travel the world, RACING! Two things I'd have to say that I love doing! Put a competition or a dare at the end of anything and I'll probably be sure to be game to do whatever...

Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present!

I just read this article, Treasure of Eternal Value, from President Monson and it made such an impact on me I thought I'd share it in the blog. Hey, this is my blog and I can put whatever it is I want on it! Everyone should read this, whether or not you're LDS, it has some good advice anyone can take advantage of.
