Long awaited update!






Hey there everybody! Happy Halloween! So its been a Long time since I set this up and I have done NOTHING with it. So here is updates:

Basically here is my life right now; I am living in Orem, UT, I sell used cars, and I am about to become a substitute teacher again. I am dating a hot Canadian named Jyllian. I am in the process of narrowing down what I want to do with my life. I have it narrowed down to film and music, focusing on Screenplay writing, Directing, Score composing, and songwriting and recording. I bought a beetle in may, it exploded and I have spent the last few months rebuilding it, making a sweet custom VW, The Black Pearl. Ever seen the movie Money Pit? And in case anyone wondered from the pictures, yes...I am getting fatter.

so on to more recent news:

I finished rebuilding the engine for The Black Pearl back in Late July, and took it for its first over the road trip at the beginning of October. It runs GREAT! I got it over 90 mph uphill! Not bad for a '68 Beetle! Now if I could just get the rest of the car put back together I'd be in business!

Things are going good with Jyllian, but we had a bit of a tragedy recently. On the 10th Jyllian's older brother and my friend, Jordan, passed away unexpectedly. It's been a really rough few weeks. I pretty much lived at the Petrie's home for a week, then we all went up to Cardston, Alberta, Canada for the funeral. Despite the awful reason for going, it ended up being a pretty nice trip. Canada was beautiful. Its too bad it such a bloody long trip up there, I'd go more often!
Even if just for the candy! Just so's ya'll know, Canada's candy is only about a million times better than ours.
This was our road trip group, me, Jyllian, Joel, and Jyllian's cousin, Dave.



What do you do with all this empty space when nothing you have to say is about this picture?





It was so insanely windy that you could stand on the edge of this hill and hold your coat up like a parachute and fall forward and the wind would not only hold you up, but sometime even push you over backwards! Which is good cause if you fell forward you would fall off the cliff and die. These pictures are all near Watertown.

Back in provo Jyllian and I have been getting into all the holiday Festivities for Halloween. Jyllian even won us tickets to got to the Haunted Forrest for answering the following question: Why did people originally dress up on Halloween? Answer: So the spirits of the dead who arise on Halloween wouldn't recognize them as being human mortals and wouldn't try to steel their bodies. Pretty cool eh? Here's the pumpkins we carved. Mines the one with brains falling out. Cute eh?

Jyllian's is the one that looks like President Hinckley :) Not on purpose.

A note: if your looking for a good scary movie for Halloween, The Wickerman and American Haunting are both really bad choices, avoid like the plague.

So our costumes pretty much rocked this year (again)!

Well, They rocked except for the fact that I couldn't eat any of the food at the parties cause my teeth would have broken off, and Jyllian couldn't walk, or sit, or move. But we looked rad!

Sunday night Jordan's best friend's Jim and Jewels came for dinner at the Petrie's. Jim (DJ Koppertop) is pretty huge in the club scene, Jordan was their babies Godfather. Their baby was hilarious, everytime I would put my arms in the air and grin she would do the same thing and giggle like crazy, even if she was bawling she would stop and do it, I miss having babies around (no, that doesn't mean I want any of my own any time soon!)

So as a final note, ya'll probably only have a couple days left to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D, Don't Miss it! Anywho, that's a basic update about my life to date. Hope you enjoyed, now that I'm up to date maybe I'll update this more often!
