Ugh can't find the post....

Well from what I recall it was thus:

-8-12 books
-3 new bands and 2 new CDs from thus bands
-learn plus size yoga
-go to 1 or was it 2 concerts

...some other stuff that I for the life can't recall and can't find the frakken list grrrrr.


So from what I can recall off the top of my head here is what I done thus far:

-7 books: Dresden Files 1-4, The Sword of Truth 1-3.
LOVE LOVE LUUUUUUV the SoT series! Don't want to really read House of Leaves for the ONTDcreepy book club that I was looking forward to reading after looking it up but, dang the SoT series just has a grab on my imagination and I can't wait to pick up the 4th book "Temple of the Winds" and continue on the adventure with Richard, Kahlan, Zed and the rest. Love both the Dresden Files and the SoT series so I've very glad that I found them!

-Oh wow so many new bands lets see if I can list them?
Just Jack (1 CD)
Grizzly Bear (1 CD)
Daniel Merriweather (1 CD)
Lost on Propose
Gears of the Apparatus (1 CD via mp3s)
Pillar (3 CD)
Swimming With Dolphins (1 CD)
Flogging Molly (took them for a spin 1 CD)
MC Frontalot (1 CD + mp3s)
Jamie's Elsewhere
Keane
Dead by Sunrise

I not sure if this is all of them or if for example Just Jack was just before I set the list of goals. I really thought this was going to be the hardest goal to meet. Odd huh. I have had not really gone outside the mainstream alt-rock much before this other then a song here or there as my fav genre and sound was alt-rock. Don't get me wrong I had a eclectic taste in musci before but it has gotten so much more eclectic this year. (For example Craig always found it surprising that I like MoTab Mormon Tabernacle choir and I don't find it odd at all. It is the hymns that I grew up on and they are beautiful. I always find it interesting to see what kinda of people outside the Mormon faith also enjoy their singing beside us Mormons, even this Jack one XD) When you are lucky to pick up a CD every month or so (2 if you go used like ebay or half.com) then you gotta be careful what you buy and have a good idea if you are going to like the rest of the CD or risk a big stinker where you wished you just bought the one or two songs you liked on iTunes or amazon. So I'm happy that I've stummbled through many way into some songs that sent me digging on the web for more info and free things from the bands to listen to.

Great places to find music and info are as fallows:
-http://www.wikipedia.org/ (info is a plus)
-http://www.aimini.net/ (free songs)
-http://www.youtube.com/ (free listen and song bands link downloads)
-http://www.myspace.com/ (a band's myspace)
-http://www.facebook.com/ (a band's facebook)
-http://bandcamp.com/ (lots of great indie bands here with free/$0.99 songs)
-http://www.google.com/ (try googling for a band site for info, downloads and stores)

And as always shop around for great prices on CDs:
-http://www.half.ebay.com/ (always check the seller's rating and go with the best rating you can)
-iTunes, amazon, etc.
-chain stores; FYE, Bestbuy, barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc.

I really really enjoy music. If you love poetry and writing and the abstract imagery that is wonderful in writing how can you not enjoy music?

-I've always wanted to learn to do yoga and from my searches of the web I knew that there was yoga for almost everyone. After I hunted down a book and got it it was just a matter of stretching into a flabby pretzel. Not a pretty sight but very enjoyable I must say. Do what you want in life and don't let size or other such trivial matters get in your way. Plus size yoga books and DVDs are out there so go try it.

-Went to the Owl City concert that was in Salt Lake just a lil while ago. It was a blast and only the second I've been to. I have ticket's to their next one and I hope that Plain White T's make it back out to Utah like they said that they where going to at the concert last Oct.





I know it looks like I was just being a spendy person but in reality it was just trying to do things that I have not done before and try new bits of life.

So All-in-all I think that my fun, silly goals are coming along nicely.

This will be a laugh

So just just got done reading my whole new yoga book (2 hours XD). It came two or so days ago and I just now had the time to pour over it.

I think the warm-up has more hard looking positions then the work out itself. Things like "cat and dog tilt", "table", "downward facing dog" and "dolphin". Most of the things that have you go from your knees to a bent on fours seems like it is going to be 'fun' for me.

I really look forward to things like "warrior 1", "warrior 2", "5 pointed star" and "goddess". Also when I get more strength I want to to the yoga "handstand". Looks freaky and I sooo want to try it.

You get started on a 30 min program and from what poses you do in it I'm kinda sadden as it does not have many of the standing positions in it that I wanted to try. Oh well I guess that I'll just have to work my way up to the longer program and them.

So I'm going to be starting tomorrow morning with the 30 min program.

I will update on this and how it goes. lol.


So today I finally got around to dragging John to the barber. I think from the below picture you will agree with me that it was needed.



I had it chopped to a number 2 which is hella short. Reason he is a wash-n-ware kinda guy that could not give a crap about his hair as you might take from the first pic of him. He is just washed not even combed/brushed hence the shaved head.



Also I just thought that this was a funny sight while I was out a couple of days ago running errands in the early morning before the start of the day.



Come on its a UPS truck doing a drop off to a FedEx Kinko's. What is up with that? O.o Weird.
