Check out the crazy video below of a kite surfer jumping a pier. Looks incredibly dangerous, but kind of makes me want to take up the sport. Look how high he goes!

Las Vegas for New Years Eve!

POSTED BY Joel on Nov 19 under Uncategorized

A large group of my friends and I are going to Las Vegas for New Years Eve. We will be staying at the Sahara on December 31st and January 1st. Las Vegas is a somewhat creepy city- basically a giant garish bar- but that is exactly why it will be a super fun place to be on New Years Eve.

Currently, the group includes Trent, levi, levis brother, Kenny, and I. Others (nick, brian, Kenny, JJ) are thinking of joining us.

Blindside Book Review

POSTED BY Joel on Nov 19 under Uncategorized

I read the book Blindside by Michael Lewis on the plane ride from Los Angeles to Seattle today. Blindside is the real life tale of Michael Oher coming up out of poverty in Memphis to become a big time NFL left tackle. I thought the book was fairly well-written and whipped through it quickly. The author Michael Lewis was too close to his subject matter though and he tried to cram his worldview down the readers necks. He believes that success is mostly due to a persons circumstances and only partly due to themselves. Lewis’s theory is interesting and many prominent people like Malcolm Gladwell share it. I think it is mostly true, but they put too much emphasis on nurture instead of nature. I got the feeling reading the book that the author left out some important points on Michael Oher, especially considering that Oher himself disagrees with Michael Lewis.

Overall, the book is a nice easy read with some substance. I would give it a 6/10.

Hungry

POSTED BY Joel on Nov 19 under Uncategorized

I have had nothing to eat today since this morning. Ravenous doesn’t even begin to describe my appetite. The people walking around me look like tasty lumps of meat. Visions of baby tartare, ab jerky and human filet mignon are starting to appear to me. I am about to turn tribal.

At least they have food in prison.

In Seattle Now

POSTED BY Joel on Nov 19 under Uncategorized

For those who are interested, I am now in Seattle and will be here for the next six weeks. I don’t like long distance relationships, so I’ll be visiting every other month until the girlfriend moves to LA or we decide it doesn’t work. I’ll be staying with Tara in the Central District. If you want to kick it, call/email/text me or leave a comment here.

Gmail & Old Emails: Excellent Self-Reflection Tools

POSTED BY Joel on Nov 14 under Advice

Occasionally I look back at old emails and gchat conversations from years ago that I had with friends and girlfriends.  Each time I do so, I learn a lot about myself.  Reading these old conversations and emails is sometimes hilarious and sometimes terrifying.  When you are in a situation it’s hard to have perspective and see how ridiculous and embarrassing you are, but afterwards its all there in black and white print.  If you’ve never done so, I strongly recommend it.
