I am a Copy Cat...

Well, this is definetly a big time copy of Daniels blog, but like he said - I appreciated his, so I will make one that other people can read too...

10 YEARS AGO: Lets see...that would make me 8 1/2 years old, so I was in second or third grade at Harvey Oaks Elementary School, Mrs. Latka was my 2nd grade teacher and Mrs. Jewl was my 3rd grade teacher. Around that time i was probably working on one of my latest treehouses (among many treehouses that I built when i was younger) hammering away, or it might have been the time i followed Jessica and Daniel to their 'secret' fort that i had grown jealous of. That fort was arguably the pinacle of the Pac Hollow Treehouse Developmental Era (but i would have to disagree, although it was a '4 story' fort with a firepole [a quite dangerous one], it lacked the structural integrity and the element of creative design that some of my latter forts had)

5 YEARS AGO: i was 13 years old, in 7th or 8th grade at Millard North Middle School. that was probably the last year that i played on the Arsenal select soccer team, which was a great time, but it took up far too much of my freetime (which youth sport obsession has become the topic of discussion lately). I was also probably working on the first fort that me and Matt Olsen were going to incorporate cemented beams into. that fort eventally was vandalized (which sadly was the way most of our forts ended) by Greg Hunter - i will always remember him, hahaha.

1 YEAR AGO: 17 years old, i was a few months into my senior year of highschool at Millard North High. I was just starting work at Bellevue Cabinets for my work study program through my woods class. It was a good job, and i learned alot there, but every part time job is never perfect. Also around this time I was probably playing guitar with Euphony or with Bryan, writing new music and stuff.

YESTERDAY: was Thursday and i had some classes, ate lunch, and thursdays are the only day of the week that i dont work. in the evening, i watched CSI (one of my favorite shows) and i also watched Without A Trace (another top 3 favorite of mine) with Scott my roomate and his girlfriend Sarah. After that we went to Delta Delta Delta serority (I think i remember mom saying that aunt peggy is tri-delt alumni) and ate at a pancake feed for a childrens hospital fundraiser.

5 SNACKS I ENJOY: My favorite food is Cheese Pizza of course (From Don Carmelos or Pizza Hut or Dominoes - depending on the day.)...Reeses Peanutbutter Cups (which Kim noticed Daniel had on his list also, which she attributes to our mother's influence.)...Chips and Cheese...Hot Chocolate...Mountain Dew with lots of ice to chew (that rhymes doesn't it?)

5 SONGS I KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO: Most every Nickel Creek song...tons of Hymns and Church songs...The star spangled banner (but now that i think of it, there are multiple verses that i dont know)...the ABC's...All of my own songs that ive written (althogh ive been known to get nervous and forget second verses)

5 THINGS I'D DO WITH $100 MILLION: Well, since Daniel stole the munchkin motel idea, i would use this money to jumpstart my luthiery (instrument making) business, or mabye a custom furniture/luthiery combo shop. daniel could hire me to build the munchkin motel - HA!

5 PLACES I'D RUN AWAY TO: Well, considering the constraints of 'running' away, that implies traveling by foot-- Colorado...Wyoming...i cant really think of that many places, just places that are rustic outdoors places, i dont have the desire to run away, i like Omaha and Lincoln, and traveling the world doesnt appeal to me like it does to Jessica and Daniel.

5 THINGS I'D NEVER WEAR: Converse tennis shoes...a spiked dog collar...any racist or gang related atire...makeup...tight leather pants

5 FAVORITE TV SHOWS: CSI...Junkyard Wars...Seinfeld (kind of a bandwagon answer, but i really love it)...King of Queens...River City Folk

5 BIGGEST JOYS: Kimberly and all of my friends and family...playing guitar and writing songs that otherwise would never have existed (i like to think of writing music in that way)...Woodworking....Snowboarding...

5 FAVORITE TOYS: a ball...my guitar...the internet (especially used in conjunction with Rhapsody and other legal music programs...a snowboard...a rope-swing into water

5 PEOPLE I WANT TO PASS THIS ON TO: Anyone reading this with interest. Hopefully there are five.
