With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

Yeah. If you were into the core, the ptex will fracture into a bunch of little bits, and then just fall out over time.

I speak from personal experience, lol.

Ptex-ing is fun though!

So after a year of indecisiveness and general indifference, I have finally quit architecture.  I will always have an interest in it and study the general principles and theories (as well as notable buildings), but have decided that a career there just isn't for me. 

So now I am signed up for another photo class and a couple general core classes and am looking for some kind of job on campus that involves writing and/or literature.  I'm interested in photography, english (probably creative writing or editing of some sort), and philosophy, and I just need to decide what my major and minor will be.  This will definitely be taking me down a different path in life, but I find it relatively easy to embrace when I think of sitting in front of autocad most days and talking to clients I probably wouldn't agree with the rest. 

Am I jumping to conclusions and making assumptions?  Yeah, probably, but I think in the long run this decision will be for the better.  Rather than thinking of finding a career I am passionate about, I am going to study what I really love and think about a real job later--or never!

I went to the Blazers vs. Cavaliers game on Tuesday night, and it was AWESOME! We were six rows behind the Blazers net... yep, six. Met a lot of awesome people, drank $8 pints of Blue Moon, saw myself on TV, and screamed my heart out. The Blazers lost, but it was a better game than we expected, for sure. We went to the Dub afterwards and got pretty wasted for free, haha. I had a two-hour conversation with a dude the same age as my mom about 49ers legends.

I didn't end up having to get my brain surgery yet... Apparently, my infection went away FINALLY (strong ass antibiotics that made me feel like death for a month), and the aneurysm isn't large enough to require immediate surgery, thankfully.

My training's been going awesome. I have the best trainer in the world, and I feel like I'm finally progressing more with running.

Some photos from the game:

Base weld is definitely the way to go. Since you ptex'd it, wax over it with the coldest wax you can find (Swix CH4 and lower). Scrape the cold stuff, then throw a piece of fiberlene paper between the iron and the base and let the iron set on there with a little motion. The hard wax will add an extra layer of protection and seal up the beading/chunking that's going to occur when it gets super cold. Seal it like that every time you wax.

I'll do that. It is already falling apart, so I wouldn't be surprised if I can just get it base welded once everything comes out.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

that reminds me...

MIA on being nominated for an Oscar for the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack- "This is a great honor. Thank you to all the people who are supporting us and the making of a real story of a slumdog millionaire…maybe I can afford to book Dave Chappelle at the baby shower now. Thank you again; My mum wants everyone to know what wonderful news this is for her."

i've been completely sober since Sunday- the longest i've gone in three years- and it's killing me. luckily, i've remembered how much fun it is to be the hugest asshole possible to the minions in NSG. JD will probably ban me... again... but whatever, i get to smoke, drink, and put yayo up my nose tomorrow, so i'm ok with it.

stoked on having a personal shooting gallery- NSG.

Well, today was stoke and no stoke, i got to shred some big wide open lines at mount bohemia chilled with some friends, and got to hang out for a little bit with a gnarly dude CF introduced me to a few years back and got a chance to talk on the phone with some really old acquaintances and pseudo family types. so, rock on ph.

always stay positive, do your own thing, and vibes to all ph.

Cleaning my room, and I found a bunch of stuff from the third grade on my bookshelf. No idea it was there, but when I get to back to my scanner in Tacoma, there will be some seriously epic pictures.

I haven't written in cursive outside of my signature since I fumbled through the last part of the ACT that requires it, but damn, I was pretty fluent in the stuff back in grade school. The spelling is absolutely hilarious, and I did nothing but draw pictures of forts with radar dishes and jets and tanks and snowmobiles in writing class.

Deeply buried on my bookshelf was a book called "The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible", which I have no doubt would send Scott into an epileptic seizure in about 2 seconds. It's such horrible Christian Right propoganda, I can't wait to take it back to school with me. The Pokemon books I unearthed are going to my roommate, who can still name most of them, and I am totally taking my Lego collection, because dudes who play with Legos get all the cute chicks.

Also, I just picked up the latest Sweatshop and Death Cab releases, and am very stoked on both of them. Good music to listen to.

I'll bring mine next time, and we can make an epic Lego ON3P city.

so, my dad and his buddy are in town and got rooms at half a dozen places up and down the Strip... prior to coming out here, they told me i could have their room at the Mirage again, since it's right across the street from the Venetian/Palazzo, where they're staying. last time they were out here- about two months ago- i had their room at the Mirage and it wasn't anything amazing, so i was expecting much of the same... until i was handed a keycard with a top floor room number. needless to say, i was a little startled when i got to my door (or should i say double doors) and the sign said "Penthouse". so, now i'm chillin in bed smokin out of Lele and sippin on OJ in one of four 30th story penthouses at the Mirage all by mahself. the bathroom is twice the size of my bedroom in my apartment... i have a living room with a bar and dining area... there's a pop-up TV at the foot of my bed. add to this that i'm up at the craps table, am having two dinners at Delmonico Steakhouse in three days (first was last night), am going to a couple shows, and *might* go see Perry Farrell tomorrow night if i don't go to TAO. it goes without saying that i'm STOKED!

A bunch of shit went down that finally convinced me to move away from Portland.

So.... I'm moving back to Alaska for a few months!! Fuck yeah!

I'm going to miss Josh the bartender and Josh the trainer like crazy, but I'll be back to visit. I already have a trainer in AK and doctors, and I've got a place to live (not my parents house, haha) and everything. I'm not telling very many people up there except for my close friends (even though I know I'll run in to a bunch of people I know while I'm living there) to avoid drama. I'll be going back to school at UAA for the summer and then probably moving back to the states somewhere. Whatever happens, I need this change really badly, and I'm stoked for it.

i didn't want to clutter up linds' thread but i wanted to share some hope. In her case the damage was sudden, which isn't great, but from the sounds of it hopefully she'll make a good recovery. The story i've got will just show you how crazy our brains really are. It goes that this guy went to the doctor complaining of a mild weakness in his leg. The doctors gave him a CT and an MRI; here's the picture of his brain:

The ventricles had swelled up and compressed the grey matter against the sides of his head. Despite the lack of a 'normal' brain he lead a normal life albeit with a slightly reduced IQ.

I picked up a ND filter today and got to go play around in Gallatin canyon for a while, it was pretty cool.  The light was far from ideal for what I was trying to do though, so the pictures turned out kind of shitty.  But I was mostly just experimenting and shooting some film I am probably going to ruin anyway, so it was a good learning experience.
