2010 in pictures

Just a couple pictures from the last year, that have not been posted on the blog. You will have to look back at other post to see good ones.

BEST OF 2010

As we reach the end of another year it is customary that I inject you all with what I though was the best of the year. There is no order and it is mainly the things I can remember now. I'm sure if I gave it more thought they might be different.

Movies:
- Wall Street 2
- Inception
- Solitary Man
- I'm Still Here (anyone who has seen it will agree)

Music (albums)
- Brandon Flowers - Flamingo
- Black Keys - Brothers
- Beach House - Teen Dream
Honorable Mention
- Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Songs
- Us Royalty - Equestrian
- Surf City - crazy rulers of the world
- Black Keys - She's long gone
- Brandon Flowers - Magdalena

Tv Shows
- The Today Show
- Modern Family
- Conan (watching it online the next day)

Accomplishments
- Actually keeping a new years resolution. No soda in 2010 (except for a sip of root beer on my birthday.... sorry Justin beat you to it)
- Getting my Associates Degree then getting right into the university of Utah and moving on to the next thing.
- Buying a House.... well it's a condo.
- Shooting a gun (I know I know, I have gone a little over kill with the gun thing.)

This last year was an eventful one to say the least, if you have been following my blog you know that. 2011 is sounding like it will be a good one for music, there are a few albums that are coming out that I have been looking forward too (cut copy, US royalty, the strokes). Have a safe New Years, if you drink and drive, stay in west valley.

That's all I got for now, I guess after a whole year I forget all the things I "loved" (i tend to change my mind A LOT). Whether it was for a short time or the whole year, there was a lot of good stuff that happened. If you have been following this blog then you already knew that.

Best of 2008

I don't know about you but I love the end of the year "best of" lost. I don't know why I care, I agree with only a fraction of the lists. I always wonder who these people are who seam to be the voice of the entire nation and say Britney Spears has done it again. I would like to say I am such a voice but my voice is only so loud. I have very little credibility but I think I have an eye (or an ear) for awesome. I do speak to whoever will listen so here it is.

KEEPIN IT EPIC'S BEST OF 2008

ALBUM
MGMT (it did come out last year but did anybody but me even notice?)

We can't argue Coldplay did it this year.

MOVIE
Vicky Cristina Barcelona


BOOK (that I have not read yet)


TV
The Hills (again)


I could go on but if you want to see what's been awesome this year, just look in the archives.
