Blog Problems (posted 6/11/06)

My oh my has it been a long time since I've posted. My old blog is still not fixed. What a mess that is, I'm waiting for the fine folks at blogger (google) to fix my old blog. In the meantime I'm going to use this temporary spot to keep you up to date!

Lost Marathon

Greetings, and happy Memorial Day! It sure is nice to have a long weekend once in a while. Especially, since I've been overwhelmed at LB Productions. I can relax for a few days and not feel guilty. Like I said in my previous post, help is on the way... so I won't feel so overloaded much longer.

For the past couple weeks, a show has consumed me. That show is LOST. My friends and I have been having these unbelievable marathons almost every night. It all started when I got season 1 on my Netflix. From there it grew into an obsession of sorts, almost half a dozen of my friends have been joining me every night to check out the next few episodes. When I found out I couldn't get the season 2 DVD until October, I had to take matters into my own hands. I bought it on iTunes and burned it to DVD so we could watch through the end of the current season. Now with it all over, we are left in suspense until freaking September! I don't think I've been obsessed with a show like this since, well... umm... Grey's Anatomy.

Wallowa Valley Live

Hello, it's been sometime since I've bothered to update my site. For that, I am sorry. What a crazy last few weeks it has been. Running a 4 person business with two people is no easy task. It seems to be eating every available peice of free time I've had. But things are improving and help is on the way!

This past Thursday I went on the radio with my pal Patrick "Fuzzy" Channing. It was a lot of fun playing my favorite music and chatting with him on air. This program, Wallowa Valley Live is about the coolest thing a small town radio station could do. You get to go on for a couple hours and play your favorite music and chat about current events, and stuff in general.

A Weekend of Friends

After a very long week, I was finally able to enjoy my weekend. Above, you'll see a very strange picture of my buddy Christian Ambroson trying to block himself from getting his picture taken. Made a cool picture though.

After losing an employee at LB Productions I have found myself short handed, I have been working 10-12 hour days. It has been exhausting and exciting at the same time. I am entering a new chapter in my business. Who knows where it will go from here, but whatever I do I'll keep moving along.

Thankfully, just what the doc ordered this weekend... I had several of my friends in town from college and I was able to hang out and chill with them this weekend. I have lots of work still to do, but that time will also come and go again. I am just taking life one step at a time right now. Lots of interesting things have been coming down the pike. -LB

Black Clouds & Underdogs

Okay, so you're going to have to put up with my low quality cell phone picture I took. But it gives you the right idea. That's right, I saw Hawthorne Heights in concert, along with The All-American Rejects and Fall Out Boy in Tacoma this past weekend. It was a hell of a good time!

Me and a couple other friends trecked up to the Tacoma Dome where it filled to 15,000 people! We were literally only a few feet from the stage (as you can see) so we were in a good spot... so you think. My friends and I almost got sucked into a mosh pit a couple different times, I got kicked in the head by a body surfer, and I was hit in the face with a shoe. Despite all the rowdiness it was an AWESOME time. It felt so good to get out of town and have a good time with my two good friends Dylan and Kyle.

Fall Out Boy was really exciting in concert, but I think my favorite performers would have to be Hawthorne Heights -- I absolutely love their music.

This second crappy photo I took during Fall Out Boy's performace. It was full of entertainment and fire!

Looking Forward to an Awesome Weekend

After weeks and weeks of work, I'm ready to take a break. Just a small one, but an exciting one. While you were all basking in the sun during spring break last week, I was working hard in my office. Well, this Friday I head to Portland and Salem to see some friends... On Saturday I'm heading up to Tacoma to see a Fall Out Boy / All American Rejects/ Hawthorne Heights concert. A couple of friends will be coming up with me... I am looking forward to it! I will return to work (of course) next Tuesday. Keithanne is going to be leaving for a couple of weeks, and though it will be hard without her, we will manage as well as we can until she gets back. It is then I will probably take a longer leave of absence.

I have been promising pictures of my new ride. Here are a couple. It's going to be a sweet ride. I can hardly wait to see how well it pulls my boat.

While we're at it, I can't wait until summer! It's been spring for a couple of weeks now, but it still feels like winter in Wallowa County. The days are getting longer and it's getting slightly warmer, but nothing major yet.

As I reported to you last week, I was ill, very ill. Still don't know what it was -- but I can tell you I have bounced back and I feel a whole lot better. It was a nasty bug!
