Re-living the past.

So I came up to Rexburg to visit family this weekend. I came up with some friends who I went to School with here at Ricks, I mean BYU-Idaho. Anyway Today I went to dinner with these friends and my Parents. We went to Big Judd's. I had only been there once before, 11 or so years ago. Anyway as you can see in the picture why they call it Big Judd's. They have a challenge where if you eat the special you get your picture on the wall. you have to eat a crazy amount of food. And having your face on the wall for overeating probably is a little silly. :) Oh wait I am silly. Anyway I was only able to eat the burger. And boy was that enough.

Root Canal Fun!

Well I have had and interesting couple weeks. Last week I had a really bad sore tooth and had to have a root canal. Oh it feels so much better. Today I had a filling put on it to finish that ordeal. And to top it off today I have being feeling a little sick in the stomach. I am feeling a lot better now but the this morning wasn't fun.

It has also snowed and rained quite a bit here in the Utah Valley. It sure has gotten colder. It was Saturday that i got to do a little snowball throwing action and that was fun. I also go to see a few movies. I saw Fred Claus with my parents. It was a decent Christmas movie with the feel good ending. I also saw MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM with my parents. That was a fun magical story. It had a sad part, but ended on a happy note. I thought it was really good for a rated G Movie.

I went last week with some really good friends and Saw the Golden Compass and Dan in Real Life. Ok first the Golden Compass would have been better had I not read the book. I really enjoyed the book. The movie changed a lot of stuff from the way the book did it. I understand they have to be able to fit a lot of stuff in a short time for a movie but readjusting the ways things happened and leaving out things was just a bummer for me. The polar bears were really cool though. Dan in Real Life was a really good movie. It stars Steve Carrel, the guy from the office and Evan Almighty. Anyway he is a widower raising his 3 daughters and meets a woman. He later finds out she is dating his brother. So craziness ensues. This movie is funny, though the funny doesn't over do it. Anyway I recommend this movie.

This weekend I hope to see I Am Legend, the new Will Smith movie. This movie intrigues me and I am excited to see if it is a good story.

Work, Work-out, and a little play

Well I have kept some what busy after work by going to the gym. I am now playing racquet ball 3 times a week. It is good exercise. Then on the days I don't play racquet ball I work out on the Elipse machines. Then when I am not working out I find time to take a break and enjoy some TV or computer games. The other day I had a blast visiting with some friends and playing a little Tezas Holden and Boggle. I stink at Boggle. I need to leran some new words.

Late Post (Labor Day)

Abel's Dancing Time!

Logo Organized

I saw this on another site and thought it was a neat idea. It makes it easier to identify the right folder. I think I am going to do this to my filing cabinet.

Yum Giveaway.

Go to www.nestle.com You canpossibly win one of there new candy bars that just came out. I didn't win but I got a coupon for buy one get one free. Anyway maybe you will be more lucky than I.

A new first for me.

Well yesterday I went to the dentist to get 2 crowns, but one was so bad I had to have a root canal. This is the first and hope wont have to have another one of those. It didn't really hurt except in my pocket book. But it needed to be taken care of. It also is quite the process to do a root canal, not a quik proceedure that id for sure.

Something to write as I wait.

I am waiting to go to lunch. Co-workers are busy and a place hasn't been decided. At one time I thought about writing a webpage that would help you make a lunch place decision. Then I did a little research on The Google and saw that some other people have already done something like that. One place has a wheel that you spin to decide where to go. It was limited on choices. I think that one was commerically created. Then I found another one that had a client and server side, but it was a little more complex than I was interested in. So now I am back to the idea of creating my own.

I think I would have groups and then assign people to those groups. Then when each memeber of the group can rate the many places they like to eat or don't like to eat. Then say if the group 1 consists of me and one other then the chocies would be organized to that group and so forth. The ratings would adjust on group size. The database will also keep track of visits to certain places to limit repeats unless it is a desired repeat.

So how do you decide where to go to lunch?

A new Atari game!

3D Project

This was a test render of a project my friend Jared and I worked on with some other classmates. I don't think it got completed but we had some cool shots.

Fireworks from Pioneer Day

Pioneer Day

i hope everyone had a good pioneer day. I went over to some friends house and had BBQ and Fireworks and a little Wii. It was goodtimes. They had gotten some not so legal fireworks and those were neat to see. Though I think a neighbor didnt like them so much. The cops came by later after we had already finished.

It was really nice outside as well. It had not been that cool in a long time. It was very enjoyable.

GCYCLE

gcycle Recycle old electronics, it's just a good idea. I found out about this site today and wanted to share it. You can find local places to recycle batteries and electronic stuff.

The oposite of this picture.

I went to the dentist the other day and found out a lot of bad stuff. I hate that, wish I had dental insurance in past and present and I would have caught or paid more attention sooner. Anyway I have periodontitis. I have to have 2 special cleanings and take a lot better care of my teeth. I haven't been doing a good enough job. So now I have one more thing to work on. The good part is that I can help my teeth and gums get better. And I will have a little more mouth bling.(gold crowns)

So learn from my mistakes and take good care of your teeth.

Wii Fit Parody

This is perhaps one of the funniest things I have seen today. I can't wait to lean from side to side.

Recovered

Well last week I battled with Strep Throat. Went to the doctors on friday and got the fix. I feel tons better.

Week of the 4th Part-2

This was the Demolition Derby at the Madison Fairgrounds in Rexburg. It was nice to only have to walk across the street to get there. It was a fun derby till the end. 4 cars got stuck in the mud. And that was the grand finally. I wanted to start a boring chant. :) Anyway it was total redneck fun. Oh and the best part in the last picture, a bunch of kids chasing a pig to get the money off it's back. To be a kid again.

Week of the 4th Part-1

I spent the week in Rexburg, Idaho. Had my family there which was nice. It has been many years since we had all been together on the 4th of July. We hung out, played a lot of Wii, watched fireworks, and went to a demolition derby.

This is my neice Saydee. Ain't she a cutie.


This is her sister Bethany. WE had a fun time playing together. They really like playing with my camera.

Today I turn

So yesterday I got a flat tire and my cell phone stopped working. So today I celebrate my 34th birthday. Next year is the big 35. I should get a pinata for that one.

As I look back at my past years, I see that I have learned a lot and grown a lot (working on that part :-) ) I have had a lot of great experiances with Family and friends. And hope to have many more.

My roommates are taking me to Red Robin for dinner tonight. I like the royal red robin burger. my favorite.

Well I am off to get my phone fixed.

Movies

I saw 3 movies on Saturday June 17th. I saw FF4 the Silver Ironboarder. It was on ok for me. It felt a lot like the first. I was hoping it would be a lot better than the first. Why are super heroes so whiny and can never get along with their friends?

The second movie I saw was Surf's Up. This was actually really good. It was just a fun movie. The chicken was funny.

The thrid movie I saw was Ratatouille. Gotta love sneak previews. I want to see this again. From what I saw the childern around me couldnt stay interested. So young kids my not like this. There was a lot of stuff that I could see that kids wouldn't understand. This another good movie from Pixar. The short was great as well. I recommend this to all. Just be warned small childern may lose interest.

Caching near Rock Canyon

Took a little hike today and found a geocache.  It was well hidden under a rock. Nice little hike.  It was near a house that had a huge boulder roll through it's yard. It was on the news last year. It was a beautiful day.

Playing with friends

The Line at Target

This was the line of 32 people getting their Wii's

Wii would like to play.

So I was able to get myself a Nintendo Wii this past weekend. Had to get to Target before they opened at 8am. I got there at 7:30, but found out people had been waiting there since 5am. Luckily they had 32 units and only 23 people were in front of me. So I got my Wii and an extra controler. This is one thing that bugs me that game systems come with one controller. I enjoy playing with friends more than I do by myself. But I guess there are people out there that play alone. Anyway I know it is just another money making tactic and of course I don't have much choice if I want another controller. Ok So I have to say that I really enjoy playing Wii sports. I tppk my Wii over to my friends in Lehi and we had a great time bowling, tennis and the other games. I have had heard that all ages have enjoyed playing Wii sports and I got to see it first hand. We had the kids and adluts playing and having a great time. Sometimes it was more fun just to watch the people playing. So if you want to play sometime let me know, I am up for a Wii party.
