I recently recieved an email that Scott Becker left us a comment on the ol bloggy blog. I havent written on here since Christmas!! thank you scott not only for good company in texas but also for reminding me that i need to keep "everyone" updated. Alot has happened since then, so for a quick recap:

We left Tenneessee!! moved back to home sweet utah! Boy did i miss the mountains! We took a train ride ride to get here, it was Beautiful!!!
We got aboard the Z!nedistro train. which intaled a trip to texas for sxsw. yeah i know texas it wasnt to bad though we stayed with some really nice friends lets see if i can remember all the house mates names a month later .... Alex, coleman, david, andrew, kyle, marcus and then there were the cool kids who hung out at the house ...Jump, art, katie, and many others including those from the netherlands. some of the house members were in a band...meryll
Texas is where we met scott becker and company... i am sorry for not remebering names at the moment. but they are cool veggie kids like ourselves. we had a good time at the pool party thanks to zinedistro and the marriot.
my dads dog is having puupies i am betting on five pups on monday the 3rd.
we are moving to seattle...with shane, emily, eli and meredith i dont know how to spell either! i know moving again, but at least it isnt candice and brea! or tenneessee!
sweatshop free clothing is coming along nicely with a new site soon thanks to shane leaving a rails book for bookis to find. he is now learning rails and he will be putting up a site real soon. we hope!

i am sure i missed a ton of things but i will try to dig up some good stuff and get some photos (good ones too thanks to eli) posted in a couple of days. have a good night

We sold the ol' computes. Bks wants to get a mini. he is tired of the windows. and speaking of computes we haave a web site for KillBot Clothing sorta it's called umm sweatshop free printing. you should check it out and give us some feed back.
i am excited to be comeing home soon. though i think we will stay here for awhile after i stop working, which january 7th. i wanted my last day to be at the end of the year but i think we may be getting a bonus of five hun so i can wait the extra week to see if we make the goal in order to get it.i hope so that way we can travel a bit before coming home. and i am not so antsy to get home because we finally made at least one friend. mr. Jay. he is a very nice guy. in case you dont remember he is the tattoo artist we met. and speaking of tattoo artist jay, bks got me a tattoo for annual present giving day. jay is going to do it i have to go make an appointment on my next day off. i am going to get my leg started finally!! though i would like a chest piece. i dont what i would like it of yet so i am holding off on that. and speaking of annual present giving day, we recieved the true painting of Badger With Bess from one of the prophets himself. it also has a quote of one of the scriptures on the back which reads

and it shall be cometh to pass that on this day Bear did ascend from the kingdom of caves after a millenium of hibernation. Bear thus began to shower gift upon the wickedly rightous and so it shall be......a day of reckoning and presents

After all of this being said i cant think of anything esle to update. i no i am not a very good blogget, but thats how we roll. i hope you all have a very good Annual Present Giving Day.

ps. dont trample too many off those holiday walmart shoppers!

So after Brookes rant about how awful this place is, this is what has unfolded.

Brooke told her work she is quiting after christmas, which is awesome because they are crazy slave laborers and im not talking about the clothes which are made in Malaysia im talking about them working her 12 1/2 hour days! What? who! God Mother!! urg!

on to other great news, We finally met some sane (by my standards which is about the same as socially insane) people, I'm glad I can say my buddy Jaymean or just jay is pretty awesome he tattoos at a shop called mantis which is the only good shop in town, I am doing trade work for them and when we went to talk about the trade he invited us to go to some crappy club with him and we hung out for a while, and this week we are going out for sushi. oh yeah not to mention all the free tattoo and peircings I want, get this when we were in there shop I asked how much jewelry for my lips was they kinda laughed pulled out some and said you can have whatever you want. Crazy awesome. Jay is kinda a mix between Barry ( B master Flex) and John Leguizamo, but he's not annoying at all, he's like 35 but acts 21 and from New York, but spent his childhood in Puerto Rico he has some great stories about that, he has been in the army, Inked the Punisher for Marvel Comics, and now has a tattoo shop in "ClarksVegas". hes a crazy good artist him and I are going to go stenciling, he wants to do a Very large Front view of a gun in hand that says GOD above it which in this city if we get caught they will just kill us on the spot but eh.. anyway im real happy about that.

The next Potentially awesome thing is a Band from tennessee called the Pink Spiders Is starting on tour in January through August with Bands such as Yellowcard and the Strokes in stadium like settings, their manager also manages bands like Black eyed Peas, and they want to start a partnership between myself and the band which means I will be Printing Mass amounts of shirts for a crazy band as well as getting my name out there to get more printing jobs so we can save to buy land ( I'm doing it with or without everyone else) . I find out today or tomarrow if this is official. anyway I must be going. I love you all

Bks.

Hello again,

This weekend was awesome! On Saturday we were kinda bored so we thought we should go out clubbin' so we went to a place called tippers which we called the night before to see the age requirments and it sounded bumpin' from the phone, so we went and each of us payed $10 to get in!! but oh well, we needed to have a good time. so we get in and it's tottally empty come to find out the reason it was so crowded the night before is because Pauly Shore was there. OH YAY. anyway it's completly empty so Kyle and I breakdanced for a while then decided we could have a better party at home, everyone made drinks including virgin margiritas for brooke and I. we put in a green light and fog machine and bumped outkast on my surrond sound and danced for a while, which was awesome. the whole thing is on my camera ill post that later.

Next weekend MC Chris is playing in Nashville so ill be going to that and trying to get a job. Brooke had an interview today at aeropostale in the mall and it went great, she tottaly will get the job and she will be a manager making salary, the lady can't tell her how much but she said it's alot for the mall. so were pretty happy. I have a Interview at American Eagle (haha) I also applied at Victoria Secret and Fredricks of hollywood, all of them are just to be funny. but anyway im outtie. love you

AHHHH! Zombies

2005-10-07T07:38:00.000-07:00

So.... How have you been?....

hmmm.....

anyway, Tennessee is funny but were havin' a good time (I think). so we have been decorating the house for halloween because we don't have anything else to do, so we were at the dollar store just buying some guns and bows and arrows, you know the essentials and we came across DVD's for a DOLLAR! Zombie Movies!!! so we had to buy one. we watched it last night I gotta give it to them (Italians) made the best movie ever. it was made in 1971 and worth every penny. let me read to you the description on the case, word for word...

"These two grave robbers are robbing a tomb when they get trapped inside. Then this voodoo guy shows up and brings the body to life and it kills them. the dead body's cousin (I think) goes to this seance, then goes to a cursed house to visit this guru."

Awesome huh.

The other day I was bored and well I went a bought a trampoline, it's been really great having that. take a look.

Well everything else we have been doing is pretty standard just lookin for jobs (ahhh!!) and stuff. OH we have the best way to figure out chores, so there is 6 people living here right now so we have poker night every friday and the winner has no chores and by order of who lost all there money we pick chores, it's wicked fun I wish Y'all (so funny everyone says it) could be here or come hang out soon.

well Have fun and I love you SLC, Peace from the TN.

P.S. this is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were missing.

P.P.S Google video is my new friend.

P.P.P.S Shane I want to see some crazy flips when I get back but don't break yo' self

P.P.P.P.S Steph I have NO F****** clue why we did it.

there are some amazing little creatures around here this is the spider that is living on the side of the house by our air cooler. we also find tons of lizards everywhere. we have this wheel barrel bucket thing there was one in that and there are so many webs by the doors. it is great i love them

mountains have sidewalks

2005-10-03T21:36:00.000-07:00

I think the craziest part of good ol' tennessee is that there are NO SIDEWALKS i mean no sidewalks anywhere. bks and i went to go explore town and we had to walk in the street! it was so wierd. there is however really big shoulders on the main streets. good for bike riding. but there isnt any shoulder on back roads through the trees. how are people suposed to get to the bus? since there isnt any sidewalks how can people cross the streets? i dont know you tell me cause it sure is scary! and dont get me started on teh twelve differant waffle houses on this little town. you know i alway forget that you can smoke inside resturaunts in places other than utah. it is so gross. you go into a fancy resturaunt to get some decent food and it tastes horrible like they used your plate as an ash tray and didnt wash it. gross gross gross. other than that its pretty good here. though i have yet to find any health food markets though kroger does have a very decent natural food section.

hills have deers

2005-10-03T20:33:00.000-07:00

this is the side of the house. the west side? iam pretty sure... ishh
back yard facing the north/west.
looking off of back porch. north

Tennessee is crazy!!! Well not really. loads of crazy stuff to talk about though. lets see no mountains!!!!! I miss them already though the scenery is wonderful. There are plenty of gaint green green trees everywhere and ivy grows up all kinds of stuff. we live close to two rivers so that is nice and our back yard is pretty big as well as our front though there isnt any grass in the front just clovers. we live in a suburb that is in the process of being built so there are tons and tons of little trees being chopped and land being cleared, however they are leaving many of the gaint trees that will be in peoples back yards or on the sides. just behind our house there is an area that is being cleared and the lot is a big space that is just like leveled dirt all around it there are trees and we were driveing past and there was a family of deer. It was so pretty. i only caught a glipmse of the fawn but ohh it was pretty. it is wierd how the way town is setup it reminds me of how like say hooper or willard or something like would be only really green. i mean like the way the roads go and stuff. its just weird and confusing. i never though i would miss those huge salt lake blocks oh but i do. we went to "downtown" clarksville and there is a light every 30 feet. it is totally historic and way pretty i love the way it looks but it is wierd to me. This town is totally a miltary town and now that everyone is shipping out it is becomeing a ghost town. creeeepppppy. at least "downtown" is.
