Monday, June 15th, 2009saltwater
Monday, May 18th, 2009For two weeks, it’s safe to say that my skin had more contact with saltwater than fresh water, including shower time. Since I live four hours away from the Ocean, it’s rare for me to get to do things like surfing, snorkeling and wakeboarding in lagoons. Thanks to 2 recent weekends of epic grandeur (Epic hosted contests), I have been able to do that stuff! Collegiate Nationals was in Mission Bay (San Diego) and the next weekend was Boardup Miami in the end of April. The water was rough, but the atmosphere and company made both weekends spectacular! My team (Chico State) made it to the finals and is now ranked as the leading Western Region team. I also got to compete in the men’s individual finals. We got to surf and ride roller coasters right after competing! Miami was awesome because you could see all the buildings of downtown Miami while watching each rider. There was a skateboarding contest going on at the site at the site too. A lot of the girls were at wake games since it was the same weekend, but the competition at Boardup was still intense as girls threw down despite the chop.
This week, the Collegiate Wake Nationals is on CBS college sports. Also there is a new website called wakegirls.com every girl should check out! Shawna and I just had an interview on that website too.
Now my skin has poison oak from hiking, so I have been thinking about how I’d rather have saltwater on my skin again, and I decided to share why!

Passwords
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009Its no secret that everyone has a bunch of passwords. I know that I have at least 20 different passwords for all kinds of stuff. Here lies the problem and the reason that I am talking about passwords. How hard is it to remember what password goes with what? Its ridiculous! I have been trying to get on this website for an hour and I couldn’t figure out what the heck my password was. It was hard enough to remember the user name. Usually when you sign up for something these days it is either your email address that ends up being your user name and then you have to make up a password. Well I have 3 email addresses and 20 or so different passwords (or numbers which becomes really confusing) so how an I supposed to remember them all. Its insane really because you don’t want to write them down. I forgot my pin for my bank card one time and it took me a week to remember it. I was starring at the ATM thinking it could be any of those number!!! As i am writing this my wife just leaned over my shoulder and told me that no one cares that I can’t remember all my passwords and I had to agree so I apologize for the first half of this blog. On to more important things that you will definitely care about. I have 3 dog’s there names are Baxter, Mylo and Brody. They are the 3 best dog’s you could have. Recently though the breed of my dogs had been on everyone’s lips. WHY you ask. Well its because my dogs are Portugues water dogs. Yep the same Portugues water dog that Obama just got for the first family.
I was pretty bummed at first when I heard that they where getting the same breed dog as me. I like it when no one has any idea what i just said when they ask “what kind of dogs are those”? But now that everyone knows I figure I might as well capitalize of this. You see my dog Baxter bears a striking resemblance to Obama’s dog Bo. So here is my plan I am going to take Baxter on a nation wide tour of elementary schools and show the class “the Presidents dog”. Kids are going to love this and by the time they figure out that its not really Bo I will be in the next state fooling another class of 2nd graders. Its the perfect plan. Sometimes in a down economy you have to make moves you wouldn’t normally make and I am happy that I found mine.

This is all of course a huge joke and I would never think of fooling a group of kids into thinking that my dog was the presidents dog……… Or would I? 
Bo wanna be!
