winners get a prize!

just like the movie only sans vince.

here's some pictures from the dodgeball tournament:



















idk how many teams there were but there was a lot of people signed up and some that just came out to watch.












es likes to move it-move it

































all the teams arrived in some kind of team uniform. the TLD dudes, naturally, had the nicest uniforms.









but, of course, gayson stole the show.















there were lots of people there that i had never seen and some i hadnt seen in a long time.
Es and Moe had all the rules laid out to everyone before hand. its was way organized and there were i think 4 refs this year so bad calls wouldnt be made like the year before.
ya, we get that into it.























neither geoff nor myself lost to the chipotle bet since he was too afraid to throw the ball at me. i had this pretty amazing catch earlier that made him think twice. and im smarter than to throw a ball at him haha.











last year we took third. this year we took 2nd. next year its ours!

Ew

If you saw "Role Models" you'll get it.

mmm pencil 'stache

so about 3 weeks ago i decided to change my hair color to this really cool red i saw in a magazine.
4.5 hrs and 2 bleaching jobs and dying over that twice i ended up with this color:

not what i saw in the mag but it would do.
it was way more brassy and not so violet as what the picture shows.
it was all fried and holding on for dear life. luckily my hair has a friend who works in a salon who sells swanky hair products and it has started to recovery (thank you, electric snap).
and since i have the attention span of about a month with hair colors it was just a matter of time:

im back in black.


ya, news worthy post, i know.

Fire + Earthquakes. welcome home.

so i woke up on saturday to get some burger basket but found out there was a fire on some hill close to corona.

didn't worry though since nothing ever happens to us in corona.

then i heard cammi had to evacuate her house so i thought i should turn on the news.

quickly found out this fire was pretty big and heading toward my cousin jennifers house. i asked if they were okay and she sent me this:

that's my cousin justin, jenns younger brother, in their back yard.

holy frick. stay awake from the flames, boy!

their house was spared.

cammi's house was too but 12 homes on her street weren't.

Things that make me go "ew":
Drinking behind that truck and horses. No thanks.

competitions. And a taco bell/pizza hut run...mmmm

Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in.

so my cousin danny came to work today so stoked on his new briefcase that just came in the mail (his matching pimp suit is arriving tomorrow).
here he is flashing his racing numbers from is MX/SX days.












going to visit Chapman university tomorrow.
i always get a nice mix of nerves and excitement going there. im just praying i can hear God clearly on what to do.
i think im going to apply for next fall. rcc is sucking all the motivation right out of me so i figure i can just take what little general ed i have left there and start working on my film degree.

DAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! <----that is me getting giddy about making movies

1 Timothy 2:1-2

so i have kept my opinions about this election to myself (blog wise). i figure its all be said and heard before and someone else always manages to say it better than me. but i would now like to share some of my most favorite things i have read. they have all moved me or made me say "hell yeah!"
and im not gonna lie, im relieved Obama is our next president. but lets be realistic here, we already knew whoever was going to be next in the white house is going to have a long hard road to take to put this place in the green again.

Why put our hope in mere men?



No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other....
Matthew 6:24

WE can be used to bring change
WE can be used to make a difference
WE can be used to bring hope
WE can be used to bring the kingdom of heaven on earth

vote for equal rights, fair trade, pro life, pro choice, for tolerance, for peace, for patience, for kindness, for long suffering, for love of your enemy, not on nov.4th, but EVERYDAY.

LIVING through your convictions or beliefs will go beyond any vote
thats the change we need

what the bible says:
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Timothy 2:1-2

What can wash away my sins

What can make me whole again
