  • It Worked posted - 2 comments

    A couple weeks ago I asked yall to help me get a free iPod. Today I got a $300 20gb iPod in the mail for free, haha. This isn't supposed to happen. I mean, this is an upgrade from my 10gb which I paid $250 for. This one is twice the size, has a better battery life, and is the newest generation... read more

  • Denver - Vic's Graduation posted - 2 comments

    Man, I have been sick the last few days. Besides that , kari and I flew to Denver to go to her brother, Vic's, graduation, and to help him pack to move to Naperville. It was a pretty blah weekend. Friday we went to the graduation, shopped, went to PF Chang's with Vic's friends, and then saw A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was all fun, except I left my friggin debit card in an ATM... read more

    So, finally I got my Sidekick II. Since I haven't told the story on my site, here it is, once more. omg. I ordered my sidekick on November 30 - which was supposedly the last day of the $250 in rebates sale at Amazon. I was super stoked, I even paid for 2-3 day shipping so I could get it faster... read more

  • Cornell, Celebration, and Ninjas posted - 12 comments

    Ah, what a weekend. Kari and I went to Mount Vernon and Cedar rapids to have a 'going steady celebration' with our parents. Friday was open so I totally planned on breaking Cornell - because I love breaking Cornell. So, I called friends to meet me there - Kevi, and Jeff. Soon, I realized that both friends are really, incredibly lame... read more

  • Thai Rap in the Sky With Tight Pants posted - 2 comments

    This weekend was pretty good. Friday, Nick and I went to Jazzy Willy's to watch Luke rap. The first dude that went on, Gai Den Gadema, was real real good. Then we saw Renaissance, a group from Iowa City. They brought these 2 white guys with them, one was their DJ and the other was some random guy... read more

    So this weekend was awesome. Rich, Ben, Kevi, Lindsey, and Steph all came up to stay with us. We had a house warming party Friday night, which was really fun. We had about 30 people show up and almost everyone brought beer, wine, or alcohol... so my refrigerator is insane... read more

  • AHHH! I got backed into posted - 7 comments

    So this woman driving an Intrepid totally backed into me today. It sucks. It totally busted my bumper so it's not at all fixable, and rolled my fender under the wheel well. It may have put a couple stress cracks in my headlights also. I have not had good luck with my car lately. read more

I met comps when I job shadowed harper at Worldbook. ...Well actually, I just sat at his desk and used his PC while he was gone - so I haven't really met him at all. I know dracos through #corporate, he used to work with comps and harper. And I know Nicole through Nick... read more

  • How I started with Soap Shoes posted - 73 comments

    I guess I should start with the first time I started Soaping. I was at my buddy, Hugh Hermes' New Years Eve party my Jr year of High School. He had some Soaps and a practice rail so I decided to give it a shot. I fell really hard but loved the feeling of grinding. Anyway, about 2 years later in October of 1999 I wanted more soap stuff, mainly new grindplates... read more

  • The Bees (or wasps, rather) posted - 6 comments

    When I was a kid we lived on 15 acres of land; 9 of which were wooded. We didn't have any neighbors so a typical day for me was to go explore, hunt, build forts, bike, etc. Our woods were split into 2 sections, 10% was in the front yard and 90% was in the back. Most of my time was spent in the larger, back woods. But one day when I was in fourth grade I decided to do some playing around in the front woods... read more

  • A Shot to the Head posted - 7 comments

    When I was 16 years old, my parents decided that it was time to build a new house. The only problem was, our house sold quicker than the new one got built. So we had to find a rental house for a month or so. Anyway, this rental house was on a farm so it had barns and everything. One day I decided I'd go out to the barn with my pellet gun and do some target practice with all the pigeons... read more

  • Pull over to the right next time! posted - 3 comments

    One day, during my senior year in high school or so, Jeff Wingert and I decided we'd take a drive into town in my Celica. I needed some gas so I stopped at the Amoco on Route 84 in Rapids City to fill up. After getting gas I pulled out to make my way to the interstate which is probably a mile away or so. I was just driving along and when I started to get into the left hand turning lane for the on-ramp, I see a cop with it's lights on behind me. There was also a random fat guy sitting in his passenger seat that I couldn't make out... read more

  • Heely Demos, Apple, etc posted - 5 comments

    What a blah weekend. It had the potential to be cool, but turned out pretty weak. Friday I hung out all night, cleaned a bit, watched a movie, etc. Then Saturday I woke up and went to the Jordan Creek shopping center. It was the grand opening of the Apple store so I got a totally rad complementary Apple shirt... read more

  • I Love Election Time posted - 5 comments

    omg, today is so annoying and it's only 9 AM. Why didn't I think to call in sick? I really don't feel well anyway... Seriously, election time is like the PMS of the country. Every 4 years, everyone turns into a testy, "i'm right, you're wrong," arguing b*tch... read more

  • Halloween 2004 posted - 4 comments
