As many of you know, our blog contains many lists. (I know you were expected a sweet hyperlink that highlighted all the list posts. Frankly I'm too lazy to do that.) I for one am a huge fan of this list. Besides the wonderful music you guys post about, it has not been a great year for pop music. (Justin Bieber featuring Rascal Flatts? shoot me now)
Ok Dave, enough of the crappy intro, what is this post all about?
Here we go. I was going to make a list of all the interesting things I have seen on the bike path next to my house. Sure the guy in the Jesus sweatshirt, or the couple who makes out in the same place everyday at 4pm exactly are interesting, but that is not what our blog is about. Stadium 110 demands insight, insight that I have been failing to communicate to you, the blogosphere.
When I finished my bike ride, I realized; no I don't want to make a list of things that I find interesting, I want to make a list of skills /traits I have been developing and share them with you.
1. Since "reading" is one of the hot topics, I figured I would start with a book recommendation. World War Z is an oral account of the zombie apocalypse that occurs in roughly 2012. Stupid Premise, but oddly enough it is very well written and a very enjoyable read.
2. Photography.
Maybe film school has rubbed off on me a bit, but I am really starting to get into taking photos. Here is one I actually think is pretty decent.
The mountain is a little blury in the background, but I have not touched this photo up at all. Ps This is Camp Shira 2 on Kilimanjaro at roughly 15,000 feet.
3. Ex-girlfriends:
In the media we are lead to believe that breakups can result in friendships. After the mess I was in this year I realize that is very rarely the case. I'm not saying its impossible, but most of the time if you are dumped or if you do the dumping, sh&@t goes down emotionally between two individuals.
4. Everything is cooler when put to movie trailer scores. (Video to follow in subsequent post). The time to compress the video is measured in hours.
5. Spring Concert 2k11
a. (sweet Dave a list within a list)
b. Good times ahead
c. Alcoholic whip cream = game changer.
d. Return of the cobra
e. Warm half-drunk keg to be consumed with breakfast Saturday morning
f. Dinosaur towel?
g. Let's do this.
Well there yah go. It is my sincere desire that this post can be considered one of the "high quality" posts we have all come to expect from one another.
I'm not sure what that was a list of, but
ReplyDelete1) Mt Kilimanjaro looks awesome
2) Spring concert is going to be awesome
3) Lists are awesome
I agree with all of Ted's points. We also need to emphasize point 5d since it did not make an appearance earlier this year at 40s.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great photo. I'm jealous of your adventures, Dave.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget chocolate syrup.
I love lists.
ReplyDeleteEveryone makes fun of my lists though.
Regarding 5f. It is no longer in my possession and it upsets me greatly.
