It’s that time again.  The time of year when it’s practically summer and I get really into the latest surf films.  Let the records state that I do NOT surf…

It’s been a couple of weeks and I still can hardly believe it.

My grandfathers basement is one of the manliest places I have ever been.  It’s not filled with tools, sports stuff, or any of the cliche things you may be thinking of.  It has a rock fireplace, wooden rocking chairs, every cowboy movie…ever, and these paintings. Out of everything that belongs to my grandfather these are the items that I have wanted the most.  I understand how selfish that sounds but bare with me.  I would never look at them and think “one day those will be mine”  but I have always admired them and thought that one day i would have something like them.  A month ago, when my sister came down for my graduation, she brought with her these two paintings.  There is not much that can be said about how excited I am to have them up in my home so I will leave it at that.  Anyone who knows me is aware that my house is the least manly place on the planet but maybe these paintings will help.

One of these days I will wake up and my closet will look like this. My wife and I have started the long delayed process of redecorating our house life.  We are in the beginning stages and I am often asked “do you like this?”  My usual responses are “no” or, the ever helpful, “I don’t care.”  This photo is an example of why my opinion often doesn’t matter.  My ideal room will never exist and I’m okay with that. Why bother spending time settling on good enough, why not wait until you can have exactly what you want? I didn’t mean to go so deep, lets get back to focusing on this amazing closet.

A friend of mine passed this video on to me last week and I instantly wanted to share it with everyone but was afraid of it being a flash in the pan.  After watching it every other day for the last week I feel as though it has passed the test.  Please enjoy this as much as I have.

Yesterday was the most intense sporting moment of my life.  I played hockey for a championship team in Canada and the stress didn’t even come close to what I felt yesterday morning.  For those of you who don’t watch football will not understand. Even this little clip makes me cry.

All my finger nails are bit off but it has all been worth it. What an unbelievable season and this last game was no exception.  It came down to two goals in stoppage time to win.  We’ll take it anyway.

Besides the fact that I would have liked this movie anyway (Gosling), this film looks good.  The Jay Z song helped.

When I finished high school I had no desire to go to college. I worked as a waiter and spent all my free time skateboarding. In 2005 I hurt my ankle really bad and during the recovery process I started to change my priorities around a little bit. Since then, I have served a 2 year mission for my church, got married, bought a house, and last week I graduated from University. My life, so far, is way better than I could have ever imagined. It is mainly the result of the support I have around me. My parents have always been beyond supportive of everything I do, never pushing me to do anything. I am grateful for that. They let me mess up and allowed me the opportunity to learn for myself. They may have not paid for my school but the value of their example is priceless. Without turning this into an Academy Award speech, my wife, in laws and friends have also played a huge part in all my successes and I can’t neglect to mention them.
