Time to start again?
If they can do this...
Why can't we just do the same thing to take care of this oil spill? Only genetically produce algea that would feed on the oil; therefore, simultaneously flourishing the biggest food source on the planet that has been diminishing exponetially for decades. Not too mention how the growth of algea would help "Global Warming". Just sayin'..
Hell, maybe I'll go do it..

We're going to play Volleyball again tonight.
I have a new book to read.
It was 75 today, warm weather is here to stay.
I'm somewhat smiling again.
I missed the last soccer game.
We have four games in two weeks starting sunday.
Frisbee's are a great invention.
I'm hardly making any money.
Not saving any.
I guess we are getting a FOURTH roommate in a few weeks.
^ That's pretty frustrating.
I'm gonna lose pretty much all of my privacy and sanity.
The girls here are beautiful.
They guys here are pretty chill.
I don't really know what else to say.

Why is this illegal still?
I was in Boulder yesterday from about 3-5. It was weird when around oh say, 4:20, there were over 12, 000 people gathered on one field to burn one down at the same time. Then twenty minutes later, everyone was back to their own thing, going about their normal day.
No injuries, no deaths, no stupidity, no drama, nothing; except 12, 000 people hanging out having a good time.
To anyone who thinks weed should still be illegal: You're an ignorant, close minded, unintelligent, small person. And that's just the truth.
LEGALIZE IT!!!! Sure, it's not for everyone, but it's not a crime either.

W.S.O.A. Meeting- Monday (and other occurances)
Monday is going to be the largest gathering of WSOA in the world. Ever. Over 20, 000 people are expected to join in the festivities in Boulder alone. I'll be there.
We got nailed with wet, heavy snow last night. It wasn't too bad delivering yesterday nor today, but the rain/snow really hit home for us...
...we have two leaks in our ceiling; one in the bathroom and one in the living room. Sweet. We've rigged the leak in the bathroom to at least drain into the shower but, we had to resort to a remedy of age and use a pot in the living room.
I'm not trying to act like I've been perfect in this BEDA thing but, a forewarning that I'll be missing the next two days or so. We're going to Copper Mountain tomorrow to watch a free STS9 show, and Monday we have things to do in Denver and Boulder, so needless to say I won't be in the house much to have time to write.

Yesterday was the first time in my life that a soccer game of mine was canceled entirely due to rain. No lighting, no thunder, no snow, no hail, no sleet, nothing. Just rain. Needless to say, I was pretty upset with the number of fairies that say they play soccer around here. They need to grow a pair. But who knows, maybe they were just scared?!
So, I ran things at volleyball last night instead (by my standards). The place we play on Thursdays nights is pretty sweet. It was about 6 indoor beach volleyball courts, a bar, and even two or three beer pong tables going. It's five bucks to go in and play some volleyball and it goes until 2 a.m. Good times, good times. AND, its only a half mile from home; perfect.

Randoms
A while ago, I, like every one else, got my taxes back. I had a Monday morning off, so I went to go get new Brakes and Tires. The Brakes took about three hours longer than expected (Mechanic Time) so the tires were going to have to wait a day.
On the last delivery of the night, I got back to the store only to find one of the two tires I was going to replace, was yeah- you already guessed it. Flat.
Ah well, that's life.
Chuck, our Apartment's Maintenance guy, was Born and raised in Muskegon. Small world.
There are no flat driveways, they all have curbs at the bottom of them that you must go over.
The pre-teens here dress like they have all been going to Raves for years.
It's getting warmer here and the women have never been more fun to look at. Yet. Not the pre-teens though.
Watch the movie Waking Life.
Who wants to take a trip with me this summer?
Spain might be in the future.
Might have finally figured out a way to make money.
The mountains here look different every day. It's a rather nice latent feature of here. That and the 320+ days of sun every year.
More to come?

Happy Easter
I know it's been a few days but, I don't feel that bad :-p It's nice knowing that I'm not just glued to the internet and my computer anymore.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great Easter! I had to work today though, which was a change of pace from Easter's past. As wonderful as another Brunch at grandma's sounds, I guess I'll have to settle with trying to cook a good dinner for us all tonight!
Things have been going fine the last few days, just been working for most of it all. We have two games this week; Thursday and Sunday. So far we are undefeated, but with two ties; so, nothing special.

Sorry, I don't have much to say today.
But, hey, at least I told you that much! :-p

So, not only did I fail in the BEDA challenge, but I did it spectacularly, in only one day!!
But, here I am anyways, back by popular demand (hah).
At the moment, only a few things are on my mind; work, play, and work.
I'm ready to leave the DD's franchise behind and find something new. It's not that I don't like delivering pizzas; in fact I actually do enjoy it, but no, it's my bosses. Yeah, I'm sure we've all had a boss or two that we didn't much care for, and this is no different. To be fair, I do like my bosses; they're really great, nice, friendly people. But, when it comes to running a business and managing employees, they aren't so gifted. To keep a long rant short, I guess I rather work for someone whose IQ is higher than mine. And not any less than 20 points below mine (Sad, harsh, but true).
Play, on the other hand has been fairly good to me. We tied our game yesterday, 2-2, but I finally got a goal. Nothing special, I was fed the ball on the PK with no one but the goalie in front of me. The tie, though, is disappointing. Even though this team won the League last year, it's still not the result we were looking for. As it stands, we're 1-0-2 with 7 or so more games to go.
I've been trying to keep a consistent lifting schedule, and I'm liking the way I'm starting to look!
I'll feel a little down leaving DD's, only because we do have a few very cute girls that work in the store, which were always fun to flirt with. But hey, now that I'm leaving, maybe they'll be fair game! :)
See ya tomorrow!!

Time to back up my word
I know I said that I would be writing more, and to be honest I can't make up a good enough excuse to say why I haven't been. But regardless, I've been challenged by a friend of mine to Blog Every Day in April (BEDA). I guess a writer somewhere put out the informal challenge, and I'll take my best shot at completing the task! (Albeit, starting a few days late)
Enough small talk, let's get down to business; or whatever you want to call what's about to follow.
Actually, first, a quick side note: Tip your delivery drivers!! They depend on tips just as much as a waitress. Thanks :)
Work, in general, is actually going pretty well (finally). It took a while for a it to start picking up, but business is finally growing for our store, which means more money in your humble narrator's pocket! However, I am keeping my eyes open for anything better that may come along. So, who knows how long I'll be a pizza delivery boy.
Besides work, Colorado is treating me pretty well. With the exception of the last week or so, the weather here has been amazing. It's allowed for a few hikes, games, and small day trips (work permitting). I'm getting pretty excited for the temperature to stay a little higher with the new season. We'll be able to go up to Estes Park, which I hear is nothing short of stunning, for a few days at a time.
For those of you that don't know, I am playing in the Boulder Men's League- First Division. We've had two games so far and our record is 1-0-1. Our last two games have been canceled due to snow, but we have a make up game Tuesday evening. I'll let everyone know how that goes!
Let's see, what else?

- Rent's in the mail
- Bills are paid (mostly)
- Women here are B-E-A-U-TIFUL (not trying to land one yet, though)
- Roommates are awesome
- Landscapes are stunning
- Pizza gets old, no matter how 'gourmet'
- Been lifting fairly regularly
- Eating pretty healthy
- etc, etc.

The title makes it all
So, I've been slacking and I apologize. I've wanted to get writing again, letting people know what's going on with me and all that kind of good stuff, but every time I pulled up the posting screen, even with all my thoughts ever racing, I drew a blank. Go figure.
But, after some deliberation, and maybe a touch of guilt leaving some in the dark (my bad), here I am and here it goes!
I want to start writing about my ideas and philosophies, start letting my lack of voice be heard. I can only speak for myself, but I care about what's going on and where our society is going. I care about the state humanity is going through.
I've always had ideas, thoughts, fantasies (if nothing else), that could make the world a better place (if only in my head) but now, it's time to start sharing them and witnessing how close, or punctual my thoughts are.
Those are to come, be certain. However, you should all know where I'm coming from and where I am now!
My roommate, Steve, and I live in Broomfield, Co. It's about 15 minutes from Denver and 10 to Boulder. We get about 320 days of sunshine here every year and its a beautiful place to live. There are countless things to do outside when the temperature is nice, which unfortunately, is about every day. The culture here is amazing too. Lots of music, coffee shops, galleries, libraries, museums, local joints, etc.
I work at the fantastic Double D's Sourdough Pizza as a Delivery Boy! Gotta love it! I play for a Men's team in Boulder, Sevilla F.C. Ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out, sevillafc.us
We don't have any cable, so I've finally been starting to watch the movies, documentaries, read the books, and research the things I've always been and am now interested in! So, needless to say, I've got a lot floating around that I'm just going to throw out there.
Anyway, stay tuned for fascinating words as I'll do my best to write as frequently as possible.

It was an unexplainable weekend, but I'll try
Ask anyone who attended the inaugural Rothbury Music Festival and they will all say the same thing; it was a life changing experience.
I'm not too sure if I'm going to be able to conjure the words and metaphors needed to tell of what I learned and figured out while I was in Rothbury.
There has been a new peace created within me toward myself and others in this world, a new hope has been embedded in me towards society and this country, an open mind antagonizes me if ever it starts closing and becoming judgmental, a new love has formed for everything. My world is seen through new, better eyes now.
Look at me now and I appear to be what most would classify as somewhat of a hippie. That's fine with me! :) I am who I am now, and thanks to that weekend I no longer feel like I need to change my mindset or actions depending on the group of friends I choose to hang out with. I found the peace within me that has finally settled any doubt in my mind as to who I am as a person. I am a great person and it makes me smile that those are no longer just my words. Since I have been home I have been told at least five or six times, all of which constituting many others, that pretty much everyone likes me for who I am. I may be wrong but I like to think that it sprouts from the vibe of confidence I've gained in the journey leading up to my self discovery. However you want to put it is fine with me, I just love the way I no longer question my thoughts or actions. I know they are causing no harm to anyone so they are nothing to be ashamed of or worth doubting. People who were there know what I'm saying and know others have accepted us all too.
Rothbury was a great escape from all the complaints and uproars about the troubles and problems in this country's economy, society, and politics. After experiencing this past weekend, there is absolutely no doubt that this is the greatest country on earth. Over the past 232 years we have gradually lost the values our fore fathers laid down as the foundation of this country. Rothbury was a great resurgence for the belief that this is actually a country founded for the people and citizens that live within it.
Authority figures have earned my respect again. They have proven to me that they are here for the protection and overall well being of our society and those who live in it. We were free in Rothbury in almost every way. What you want me to be talking about is completely up to you; I know you'll probably be right no matter what you choose. All it took was a somewhat vigorous search upon entry to look for weapons to keep everyone safe. The fact that authority figures let, what I'm now going to call the 'Citizens of Rothbury', do anything the wanted was such an ingenious way to keep the peace.
If you're not causing any harm to those around you and have no one to oppose and create rebellion to your actions how can any violence be created? If no one is telling you that what you're thinking or doing is wrong then you're not going to create any negative or revolting thoughts and actions to try and make your way heard, been seen, or accepted. You know you're at peace with yourself and aren't going to do anything stupid or harmful and thats all the matters because everyone else there is in the same mindset.
Point is, by letting the citizens of Rothbury do whatever they please within a controlled, sustained environment nothing is going to get out of hand. Ever. The citizens of Rothbury want just as much as the rest of the world not to have any uproar or violence. Everyone stands up for what they believe in at some point in time. Too many together can create a mob mentality to try and force their mindset upon others, but since everyone knew that we were all okay with each others thoughts and actions, and because we knew authority was alright with it too, there was never any need to be anything other than at peace with everyone and yourself.
Even though the definition of an 'Epiphany' is a moment of clarity in which God speaks to you and I lack any better words, and epiphany is exactly what I had. My mind is open and free to listen to so many new types of music, listen to different people's points of view, and accept almost anyone that doesn't cause any harm. Nor am I going to care what people think about my thoughts and actions. I know they are all acceptable and once again I know that none of them are going to cause anyone else any harm. I'm here to smile and spread the joy of inner peace and the power of happiness.
I'm going to sing the songs I know, dance to the music that moves me, say the thoughts that make sense to me or make me laugh :), and not wear a shirt while I'm in the sun!
I can really say that this weekend changed me. I'm happier with who I am and my appearance. I have a new found desires to take care of my body by working out and eating a little better (though so far I'm better at the former) and constantly keeping myself in a good mood. Smiles are contagious and provoke positive thoughts. Positive thoughts are believed by millions to be the secret to a happy life. It's called the 'Law of Attraction.' And while I can't say I completely agree with that 'Law' being 'The Secret' to life, that doesn't mean I'm going to do anything but try and keep a smile on myself and those around me.

There is a lot of money to be made in advertising and its pretty easy too
We've all seen or heard commercials claiming that '4 out of 5 dentists recommend this tooth paste' or that '9 out of 10 women saw a more natural looking tan!'
Well by golly then it must be a good damn product if 80% of the dentists out there would use it! I have to have it!!
At the surface it probably seems as though its a pretty solid statistic. You know, the company did their research and is now promoting with the facts the found. Its a method used time and time again.
But here's another way to look at it:
They are lying, without actually lying. Companies promote a product in a way to make us assume that 4 out of 5 is 80%. But, they never say that. Why?
Let's pretend to take our own survey. We survey 100 people about a certain, oh lets go with, juice. Out of the 100, we'll pretend that 20 would buy that over anything else. Pretty sketchy results. A.k.a rather poor product.
But, in those 20 people who liked the juice, lets say 8 of them came in a row with the next 2 not liking it. Well, let's recap the last 10 people then. Oh my! 8 out of 10 would buy the juice over anything else!!
So, even though really 20% of the people liked it, out of a selected 10, 8 of them did. And that is not a lie, making it seem as though 80% of people like it. The more people you survey the higher chance of a probability that you get a high number of positive marks in a row and the better your product looks.
How much a year can I make figure easy stuff like this out? And to think that people need to have degrees in the business world.
Leave your feedback

Let's pretend to take our own survey. We survey 100 people about a certain, oh lets go with, juice. Out of the 100, we'll pretend that 20 would buy that over anything else. Pretty sketchy results. A.k.a rather poor product.
But, in those 20 people who liked the juice, lets say 8 of them came in a row with the next 2 not liking it. Well, let's recap the last 10 people then. Oh my! 8 out of 10 would buy the juice over anything else!!
So, even though really 20% of the people liked it, out of a selected 10, 8 of them did. And that is not a lie, making it seem as though 80% of people like it. The more people you survey the higher chance of a probability that you get a high number of positive marks in a row and the better your product looks.
How much a year can I make figure easy stuff like this out? And to think that people need to have degrees in the business world.
