library time.

As many of you may know, I graduated from the Business College and am now at the University of Utah. What many of you don't know, is that this school (university of utah) was first held in my great great great grandfathers house. I may have forgotten, or added, an extra great in there. Even though this massive school once began in my ancestors (john pack) small house, I don't get any cool scholarship or any aid of any sort.

I don't know what I started by telling you that almost unnecessary story. At any rate, I'm in the library now trying to catch up on all the reading and other homework I have not done. With family in town on the first week of school, it makes it rather hard to stay on top of things. I guess the point of this post was to point out the fact that the library, here at school, is amazing.

At my old school, there were signs all over the library telling people to not use their phones. With all the reminders you would still have the Brazilians phones ringing with some crappy black eyed peas ringtone, which they would answer, and proceed to talk at the ridiculous volume.

As mentioned, I am now sitting in the Marriot Library on campus and there are no signs (that I saw) and i haven't heard one phone go off. and I think I only see one Brazilian.



ps. I understand that i make very ignorant claims at brazilians being loud and annoying, with that said, brazilians make it easy for me to make those claims.

reminder: the motto for this blog is "get offended or get over it."

my life

At this moment my life makes as much sense as this video... stay tuned

school

I started school, again, this week....post are going to slow down for a little.

I'll be back in the saddle this weekend

Dylan vs. Gravis

If you skateboard this will melt your face. This video part is so good. Dylan is the best skater right now... well at least I think so. Ever since his transworld part a few years back, this kids has been only getting better.

Denim

I have a little passion for the right pair of jeans. I have been on a quest for my whole life to find the "go to" jeans. For me, those jeans are Levis 511 in dark blue. I think they call it Indigo....whatever. These jeans are the perfect colour and fit. I wear them, nearly, everyday.... you could tell by the gross swampy smell that was developing in the crotch.

I am, also, a strong advocate of not washing your jeans. I wash mine every 6 months or so, never sooner, usually later. I washed mine for the first time since December a couple days ago. The method i use for washing them is in a bath tub filled with cold water. I use a minimal amount of detergent and let them soak for 20 minutes and then work them in the water and soak for another 20 (one of these days I will give a full tutorial). I'm sure a lot of this you don't care about but the result is worth it. My wife got me a new pair because they were on sale and she is aware of my love for them. I thought I would post side by side shots so you can see the difference and the uniqueness you get from wearing them in yourself.




one of these days I will try these.

I'm still here

This looks very interesting. I love the design of the poster almost as much as the trailer. I am really excited to see this.

Besides one of them dating JLo (gross) the Afflecks do pretty good things.

Business with pleasure

I was driving down the street and saw this guy. He is flawlessly mixing business with pleasure. He has his nicest shirt and slacks on, all while cruising to work on a dirtbike.

It may not be a dirtbike (i'm no expert) but it does look awesome none the less.

It could have only been better if he was wearing white socks.



disclaimer: if you don't understand sarcasm this post will make no sense to you.

Life During Wartime

...><>>...,,l;

I'm kind of a stress case. I wouldn't say stress case but people who know me would say that. I just like things done a certain way. This is my new motto.

Suburban Comando

Nothing this good has happened to the Suburbs since Shep Ramsey. Thank you Arcade Fire for being great. Go buy it.


cool stuff here

Mickey Drexler X Wall street journal

Mickey Drexler is a smart guy. He is the man in charge of J crew. The Wall Street Journal did a really good article on him a couple months ago and I never got around to posting it. CLICK HERE

new kanye video

There is really no way to explain this.

double rainbow

So there is this video on youtube that is getting a lot of play lately. It's a video of a guy tripping out about a "double rainbow". I, for one, think the video is as funny as people say it is.

Anyway, my father and I were driving to our family reunion on saturday and he turns to me and says rather casually, "look, it's a double rainbow". My dad has not seen the youtube video and had no idea how awesome it was. We pulled over to get a picture....and cry about how awesome it is.

two wrongs make a right>.

Two wrongs, baseball and wearing a jersey from another sport to the sporting event.

It's bad enough when you go to a, lets say, a Utah jazz against La Lakers game and you see a guy wearing a orlando magic jersey. That's just gross. In this case it was taken one step further and it was a basketball jersey. I should not fail to mention that I think any sports gear is kind of gross anyway, but that may just be me. Back to the point, wearing a King James jersey in cleveland, no less, is near a felony.

Two wrongs made a very right youtube video.
