Lessons of the Day!

Uncategorized No Comments »

Here are a few things I learned, or reminded myself that I knew, but forgot.

  1. Don’t touch liquid plastic.  Its hot!
  2. When you’re drilling on something, measure 45 times before doing it.
  3. When using a voltmeter, have the plugs inserted into the correct slots
  4. Finding a campspot on the beach in the summer in San Diego is impossible
  5. Mountain bike chain rings are dangerous

I’ll write more on the dangerous mountain bike chainrings tonight.  Our Noble Canyon ride turned into the Noble Rescue Ride.

Riding is good!

Went out for a ride tonight with Dan.  Last time I rode with him he royally kicked my butt.  This time, he only kicked my butt.  PQ was nice and the weather was good.  Some of the trailwork that was done over on the sh!ts trail is in pretty bad shape.  Really loose and unfun :-(  No pictures, my camera is busted.  I did however finish the ride with a smile :-)

Thank you Alison

I’m not sure how to start other than to say ‘Thank you Alison.’ As many of my friends know Alison and I have been together on and off for over five years. Fortunately, mostly on. Unfortunately now we are off. I haven’t said anything directly to people because I feel like I’m some kind of joke. Unable to make something work with an incredibly awesome woman. Maybe I its just me that feels I’m a joke. I’m horribly sad over the whole thing. I can’t even express the level.

For those of you who don’t know Alison. The best way I can describe her is quirkily magnificent. She has her quirks, some honestly would drive me nuts. But, her magnificence far outweighed any kind of quirk she had. Unfortunately, I’m just plain busted when it comes to relationships. I haven’t had many long term relationships, but when I have I’m ‘All In’. For some reason it didn’t happen this time for me and I feel like a complete failure about it. She says “She found me at the wrong time.” I wish I had my head on right and could have made it the ‘right’ time. Loosing her is my biggest regret.

She was probably the best thing to happen to me, and I’m just too stupid to realize it.

Regardless. She was my best friend. My partner in crime. We rode motorcycles together, paintballed, mountain biked, camped, surfed and a ton of other things together. I’ve never had anyone do so much with me and give so much to me. I doubt I’ll find another that will.

As they say, a picture says a thousand words. Here’s a few hundred thousand. Thank you Alison.

The Fall - Go See it

Film No Comments »

This movie was outstanding. Great story within a story. Intensely awesome imagery. Definitely in my top 10 favorite films. They tap every emotion and completely enthrall you into the story. Spike Jonz and David Fincher have made themselves a work of art.  If you enjoyed The Cell and the mind blowing visuals you have to go see The Fall for yourself.

Hey gang,
I haven’t updated in a while because I’ve been super busy with fun and fun work!  I’ve got a couple of posts in draft form which I’ll be popping up here in the next few days (Post dating them of course).  But, as of late my current contract is going spectacular and I’ve picked up a second contract working on an additional smaller website.  With all of that, I’ve decided I’m going to continue to pursue the life of self employment.  Thus, working through the intricacies of incorporating a small business.  I don’t have a name, so I’ll just refer to it as Jason Inc. for now :-)

I’ll keep you all updated.   Thank you everyone for their support!
