twin falls park

on saturday kyle and i hit up the twin falls state park area. it was about a 4 mile roundtrip hike, which i would say only about 3 miles which were real enjoyable. the other part was kind of annoying cause it brought you close to 90, close enough that you could see the cars driving by which really isn't my style. but the rest was cool. lot of old growth and an sick waterfall section. at one point we went off trail down to one of the waterfall pools. after talking for awhile about how awesome it would be to come here in the summer. it came up that well i should probably jump in now since it was february 28th and of course must be really warm right now? so yea long story short i jumped in, actually not so much jumped in but went towards the edge, slipped and fell in. it was f@#$(*% freezing. then, as one of the pictures will show, it was really hard to get out as i just kept slipping back in. kyle seemed to think this was funny. i did not. but yea. overall. decent day hike for something quick.

this morning

unfortunately not enough to get work canceled. i dont know why but people here like to exaggerate and say that just a little bit of snow will shut the city down. stop lying people. why you need to get my hopes up like that?

rattlesnake ridge

this past sunday went another hike with will and colorado kyle. yes, there is yet another kyle in my life. went a hiked a sick place called rattlesnake ridge. it was about an hour uphill hike starting down at rattlesnake lake to the first lookout area and then another hour or so to the next. it was cool. heres some pics. overall a real fun hike.

clinton fearon

went to see the reggae legend himself clinton fearon (http://www.clintonfearon.com/) with a bunch of people friday night down at nectar (same place i saw nappy roots). it was pretty awesome, met a couple good new people again. some real amazing dancers too in front of us hahaha

being sick

stuck being ridiculously sick right now which sucks. i hope i'm better in time to enjoy this weekend. i would not be happy if i had to waste a weekend laying in bed.

trivia mondays

so mondays here have turned into bar trivia nights at a place called jj mahoneys that i got into through a friend of a friend from home. but yea i just wanted to update this quick as i realized i hadn't mention how we won this past monday. $25 gift certificate and over $90 cash were the winning. but the best part was that we beat the "uncomprimised virginity" team who is the team that just pretty much wins by default everytime. they were so pissed. it was hysterical.
