I can not hide my love

Kelly Clark is awesome.

She just won another gold medal in the winter X-games for SuperPipe.

Kelly Clark is THE best half pipe rider in the world.  I mean, seriously, she can throw down a 1080 like i can throw down the 2 inches i can get off of the bump in the middle of the blue route.  She is also very open about her faith in Jesus Christ.  You may hear her at the top of the half pipe singing worship songs; she rocks a huge Jesus sticker on her ride (pic from her Instagram).  Here's a little vid of her life and testimony...i know, it's semi-long, but maybe skip to 2:40ish.

i love snowboarding.  i love Jesus.  I love Kelly Clark.

Things to do before the New Year

Yo - what are you up to this weekend for New Years?  Who's going to NYC?  uummm, def not me.  I think it was last year that i went.  ok, i'm not that dumb, i didn't venture over to Times Square; but still at a party in Manhattan and overrated for sure.

i'm not really a late night person, and therefore, not a new years eve person either.  don't get me wrong, it can be a fun night, but by 11 pm, i struggle to keep my eyes open.  this year, i plan on snowboarding all weekend.  celebrating 12 am on 1.1.12 may be secondary.

I've been pretty unmotivated the past several days.  I'm at work, but not really working.  Heh, i don't just take off days when i have nothing to do.  Really, i'm not wasting my vacation, just because...even though i still have like 19 days to use for this year.  fortunately, they rollover into 2012.  don't judge me.  Anyways, my point to this post is to try and do a quick rundown (for my own sake) of things that i just really NEED to do before the end of the year (or before 1.3.12).

• I need to clean out my closet and my underwear drawer.  
• ...and a follow up to that...drop off a batch to Goodwill [tax savings] and buy some new underwear.  
• I need to make a few last minute charitable donations before the end of 2011 [tax savings].  suggestions?
• I need to map out my workout regiment for January - March 2012.
• I need a haircut.  but i doubt i will actually get one, unless i do it myself.  split ends are like whoah.
• I need to wash my bed sheets.  It tends to be a semi-annual thing for me, so if i don't take the time to do so, it may revert to an annual thing.
• I need to revamp and update my budget.  I no longer have roommates.  Eh, any takers?
• I need to download some new music.  Something fresh; something perhaps motivational and/or inspirational.

Ok, list seems doable right?  but work today and tomorrow and then heading out to Wisp on Friday morning for the weekend.  Oh yeah, and i must'nt forget my return to high school for the alumni basketball game tomorrow night.  Last year, i was unable to play due to injury, so i am semi-excited to shoot a basketball and see old faces.  let's be real though, i expect to be terrible.

Time Out

So I have to apologize. I didn't get around to do a real post. I'm currently taking a time out from real life. Actually, I'm blogging from my phone - that's a first. I'm waiting at BWI and flying out to Albuquerque - that's New Mexico, if you didn't know. Yeah, new Mexico one of those western states that is kinda close to the Grand Canyon. I'm looking forward to visiting one of my good friends from my childhood. She just moved out there recently for work. We do plan on going snowboarding one day, so I'm super stoked about that. Maybe some hiking, just Exploring and hanging/chilling. Unfortunately, I prob won't be able to watch MWS play tomorrow. They had better win so I can watch on Saturday. Because I'm on my phone I can't provide the link but I'm sure you can find the link on one of my recent posts. Here's how the bracket looks:

 

K. Maybe I'll post later...and edit so it looks better.
