Cabin Fever.

Cabin Fever.

So I had an absoultely banger weekend. and because it was so dope I'm gona blog about it so you all can be jealous. it started friday night, my friend Mike and I at about 11 O'clock at night busted up to our friend Nicole's cabin, just outside of Francis, UT. After having quite an adventure, finding the place we pulled up to the cabin at about one. It was super dope because we were greated by all of TEAM TANARR. (inside joke) once at the cabin we had a super "chill" night with the team. The Dopest thing that happened that night is around 3 we started watching "Cabin Fever" which if youve never seen it, is the most cheesey awesome movie ever! so yeah finally around 6ish we got to bed, just to wake up at nine because Mike had to bust back down to the valley.

After a little nap, I got an invite to go shred my friend Teeerevor's summer setup, which was awesome. It was dope to strap the ol' planks on the ol' feet and get some skiing done. Ive determined that skiing=happiness. So along with my friend "VJ" (his real name is tight pant trever) we bounced up to Teeerevor's house in Heber and we got some grinding done. The setup was way fun and I got some new tricks which was dope too. Can't wait to go back and shred his setup again. Check out the "gay" edit below, sorry it sucks I just was to lazy to try and edit it...

After that TPT( Tight Pant Trever) and I went back to Nicole's cabin and had another SIIIICCCK night playing some adult games (Inside joke), and playing around on the zip line. It was such a sick time trust me, I hope we go back. Anyway yeah and thats about it. Def the sickest weekend Ive had this summer, be Jealous. Special shout out to Nicole, thanks for letting us crash, thanks Trevor for lettin us hit you setup, and finally to TEAM TANARR for the killer party!

Hockey.

Hockey.

Hockey, my first passion. I started playin hockey when I was 4 or 5 years old, I saw the Mighty Ducks movie and wanted to play so bad. So I got my parents to take me Ice Skating, and little did I know, that hockey would come to dominate my life for the next decade. I remember three to four times a week you could find me and my dad at the rink. I love the sport and everything about it. In the past couple of years however I haven't played much, It's kinda taken a back seat to skiing, however that being said I still make time to get out and play some puck.

So this past saturday I got to see one of my favorite, DJ/Producers right here in Salt Lake. It was pretty crazy because it was my first rave ever, I really didn't know what to expect at all. Also the fact that I'm a stone cold sober Mormon, made this one a little crazy! But all In all it was way sick even without E. Here is some dope footy, and yeah i hope he comes back next year! OH AND WHERE WAS TIM DURTSCHI?

Madagascar.

Madagascar.

As those who already know me, know, I spent two years of my life serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was Luckey enough to go to Madagascar. For those who don't much about Mada, it is a small Island off the east coast of Africa. It is a place that I Love very much, and recently I have been Malahelo be an' dry Gasikara (Translation: missing Mada) so yeah here is a little slide show my mom made that shows some of my dope adventures. Sira e!

Friend.

Here are some pictures of my best friends, I love them and they mean a lot to me. Dang that was a good night. Granted there are some not pictured, to those you know who you are and I love you guys too!!!

Beats.

Beats.

So one of my best friends named Jenna once asked me, "What was you favorite song today?" Ever since then I've found my self picking a favorite song for each day. Today mine was Salade Tomate Oignon by Booba

c'est Rap de Francais

Faith.

Me and Secrist with a Gidro

Faith.

For those that know me, they know that faith is very important to me in my life. To me faith is a belief is something bigger that ones self. For example a belief in God, or a princpal. It is what drives us to want to imporve and be better people. For example, my life's passion skiing, with out faith I would have no desire to become better, to work on a new trick, or to get out of bed early on a Pow day. To have faith is to have purpose.

Faith is also the reason, that I put my life on hold for two years, just over three years ago. I served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, yeah thats right I'm a mormon. During this mission I left my family here in america and moved to Africa for two years, more specifically the island of Madagascar. On a mission the missionary is fully engaged in the work at hand, 12hour days 7 days a week. He obstains from television and radio that he might be able to focus on the work. For me this experence helped define who I am, as well as teach me a great deal about the world and my God. I was able to share something that I loved, my beliefs, with a people that I loved which helped me build my faith.

Now I know that there may be people that read this and not have the same beliefs as me, but what ever a persons beliefs, a belief is purpose. So yeah thats a little about me, if you see me around ask me about my mission I love to talk about it. Peace.

So I found this video today and LOVED IT! Dan I'm so stoked to ski with you and your wife this season!!!

Love.

Love.

One of the greatest things to happen to man. For my first post I'm gona get a little artsy/emo, but its a part of who I am so yeah here are some cool/emo quotes that I have found over the years that I really like....

"Real love is a permanently self enlarging experience"
M. Scott Peck

"We are most alive when we are in love"
John Updike

"In courtship you're trying to win the partner, keep the partner, stir up passion. With real love, the behaviors look the same but they arise out of the depth of the relationship and are expressed as a sense of gratitude. They come from within to reflect a state of being rather than to generate emotions"
Harville Hendrix

"The opposite of love is indifference"
Phil McGraw

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides"
David viscott

"Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself."
Jean Anouilh
