Night Boarding - February 7, 2009

Here is a video compilation of three videos that I made on Saturday night boarding at Brighton. It was a blast! The video is shaky. I took it with my camera while riding the lift, and then on the way down the mountain! So a little crazy cuz my hand froze. I will make better ones for the future. This is the first of many to come (hopefully!). Enjoy!!

In This Time of Economic Crisis . . .

I just feel like writing what many of us have heard, read, and seen: Government intervention is not the solution to the current economic crisis. Bailouts Schmailouts!! Businesses have to fail in order to succeed. Now compare what we have heard from our new president, Barack Obama, and what Bush did, to what Ronald Reagan said in his first inaugural speech 28 years ago. Remember that Reagan also face a major economic crisis and the Cold War.

If you have a couple of minutes it is WELL WORTH YOUR TIME to watch this(you can fast forward to the speech):

If you want the whole thing here are Sections 2 and 3.
Now, read this good article written the day before Obama's inaugural speech.
The cool thing is that Reagan lived up to what he said and helped pull us out of the crisis, that is, without using BIG government as the solution.

In order to Kick off this Alabama football weekend I have posted this video to remind us of last year's game against Tennessee!! Enjoy!

My new doo!!

So
you all may have heard about my freaking awesome hair doo!!! Well, I couldn't bring myself to stick with it and meet new girls in provo the first couple of weeks of school. So I had Sarah cut off the best part of it which was my mowhawk and leave the steps on the side of my head. Over the first couple of weeks of school I have discovered that steps or racing stripes (as some would call them) are a true sign of maturity and intelligence, and surprisingly an amazing chic magnet. Because of my new sales job, I now have to look the part and can't look as legit as I did before (hahaha). So last night I drove up to Salt Lake to do a favor for Sarah since Greg is out of town this week and asked her to help out my doo and my image. This is what we came up with and frankly I feel more qualified and confident than I ever have in my life!!

NYC

So I finally went to New York after being up in Philadelphia for over 3 months and only about two hours away! It was...well...exactly the way I imagined it to be. Freaking HUGE!!!!! everywhere you go there are skyscrapers! Tons of'em!! I was only there for a few hours but I got to see a lot. I drove to Trenton, New Jersey and took a train from there to New York Cittay. The train took us right smack dab in the middle of the Manhattan. First I went to Times Square which was sick!! Then I walked Broadway a few blocks to the temple. It was so amazing to see a temple in the middle of Manhattan. Crazy!! Moroni looked pretty dang awesome up there in the middle of the buildings. After that we took to subway all the way down to the Staten Island Ferry. It was an awesome ride and I got to see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I called Uncle Pat along the way on the ferry to Staten Island and he told me to look out to see one of the Churches he built on the island. I saw it but failed to take a picture because it was too far away. The sun was setting so I got some sweet pictures of Lady Liberty with the sun in the background. Then I went to ground zero and saw where they are constructing the new buildings in place of the world trade center. That place felt like hallowed ground. By then it was dark outside. I only managed to get a pic of the fire station right next to it. It was amazing to think that I was walking where people had fled for their lives. So, I had a great time getting to see New York and hope to go back some time soon. Go to the following website to see more pictures I took. http://picasaweb.google.com/flembag
