it's all fun and games....

Work was finished early today and it was super nice outside so I figured I'd go out on the trampoline and try to learn how to backflip without flying backwards. Now I know some of you are laughing already cause you have an idea where this is going and it's ok I don't mind. I did a whole bunch without bouncing at all, and starting from one side. For a the first bit I flew from one side to the other but not off and slowly I started moving in to the middle. All was good so I started doing small bounces, and that went fairly well so then I curbed my excitement and decided I'd do one more and leave them for the day. Well one more is never a good idea, let me tell you. I landed with one foot on the trampoline and one on a spring which proceeded to stretch and I fell off the side with my foot stuck over the bar but under the tramp. It didn't hurt that much though..... so I figured I'd keep trying until I felt good about them again. I did a few without bouncing and was thinking I'd better stop so again I decided one more. I bounced a little and threw myself up and upside down, then I saw springs. My toes landed right at the edge, slipped and since my momentum was still going backwards I ended up hanging, my legs over the bar and my feet under the trampoline.
I think I might try again tomorrow otherwise I'll never do it for the rest of my life, wish me well k.

Classic

One of these days i'm gonna pour my heart into a post about music, i'm just having some trouble with the mold. Until then here's a picture of a creek melissa and me visited on our "3 day" chasing the sun adventure.

Fights and Frustrations

I didn't get into a fight with anyone, but I lost one with myself. Today was like that, internal turmoil I mean, I was going to get a lot of things done and I did but not the most "important" things like applying for an Australian Visa which I can't get myself to do until I actually think that I'll be leaving soon. My Rover still isn't finished so I can't even try to sell it yet and until it sells I can't leave. I'm supposed to be in the Philippines by April 6 if I want to go to my Aunts housegirl's grad and then my aunt leaves on the 11th so unless my truck sells by the end of March I doubt I'll go to the Philippines. That was the main push to go that direction right away and if that doesn't happen then I should rethink my entire plan.

The last few days have been pretty good though, Melissa and me went out a bunch, first to a Spanish Restaurant Thursday evening and then Saturday to an awesome deli place where the above pic was taken. Adobe Photoshop is a new hobby that spend a lot of time with these days. Oh and I even took in a CutCo demonstration at Melissa's house with her roommates, me and the ladies were very impressed with the very very expensive knives.

Reminiscing

So last night was awesome, I sat down, started some good tunes going on my ipod and simply remembered as much as I could. Good memories and bad, early memories and fresh ones, sad memories and happy ones, slow and fast ones, they all came and it was wonderful. And here's a photo memory. This was in a coffee shop downtown Portage La Prairie, Manitoba Canada, summer of 2005 before a street concert by Jason McCoy with a bunch of friends from the ranch and K town, it was a great time.
