Happy end of May!

Today is the 31st. That is not insignificant, because today is the last day of May. May is nice, I suppose, if you are into the whole finals, school, stress, deadline thing.

I personally, much prefer June. So tonight when you are celebrating the end of may, kick one back and think of me.

OK. I am in the most beautiful place in the world. I kid you not. I am in Jackson, Wyoming. Here is a view from my "Cabin" where I am blogging right now at 646am.



Not bad huh? It's a cabin in the sense that it is made of logs and is in the wild west Teton Village. However, it is the only cabin i've ever been to with cable, AC, Heat, and wireless internet. Here is another picture of our living room/kitchen.


As you can see it is quite nice here. Yesterday, we toured Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.

Wow. What an experience. It was the absolutely most beautiful vistas that i've ever seen. It absolutely blew me away.

Grand Teton might have been more beautiful than Yellowstone, but less interesting. The 360 degree panoramic views of nothing but valley and then mountains on either side blows me away. Hundreds of heads of Bison wandering. Awe-inspiring sage brush as far as the eye can see. The mountains are so close to you that you get a truly impressive view of them. The Grand Tetons (comes from the french derogatory word for breasts, so i'm told. Here is a hint: rhymes with zits). For those who have visited the Colorado Rockies -- you got nothing. There are no real foothills leading up to the mountain, so the view is so much more dramatic. Here are some pictures of Grand Teton national park.




































That was Grand Teton. Amazing views, but not that intense. Tomorrow I will take you to Yellowstone.

Bits and pieces:

*We saw Air Force Two (the Veeps plane) at the airport in Jackson. Apparently, he has a home here on the 18th Green of the golf course we are golfing today. Our waitress said, that gas prices were cheaper in Jackson because of his connections. I call bull.

*I feel like i should be riding a horse and carrying a six-gun in this valley. This valley brings the gunslinger-mountainman out of me.

*Man those bison are huge.

*I ate at the mangy moose last night, i had ribs. Unfortunately, they were regular plain beef ribs, not moose.

*Hey world, GO TO YELLOWSTONE AND GRAND TETON, you will appreciate the national parks in a whole new light after being there

*My guide was a badass. His name was Cowboy Bob. Ex-navy, ex-police, current tour guide does summer tours with his GMC Yukon and winter tours via snow car. He has a nice life to have an office in a national park.

*In another life, i should be a park ranger

*Golf today: maybe we can hit another eagle.

Later alligators!

No updates...

Hi World. Sorry i haven't been very dilligent with updates right now, I am too busy with finals and whatnot. One more week left for me! Last day of class! Woo!

Here is a video to make you laugh.

Colbert roasts President Bush

Best Line: I believe the government that does the least, governs best...by that standard, we are doing a heck of a job in Iraq.

Monday Update and roommate search

Hi World. I had a pretty good weekend. Relay for Life was good, but I wasn't feeling very good so I left early. I know, i'm a bum. On Sun, we had a DF picnic which was a blast. Ultimate was great.

---

I need your help. I am still looking for a roommate for next year. A couple of things that I had going fell through, so i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. If you hear of anyone let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

I am at Relay For Life tonight...

...update in the morning. Pictures and story to come.

Listen to these songs

These are my brother's songs. Enjoy! Let him know what you think.

Two logical proofs that will piss off every woman that reads this:

One Proof
• 1. There is no point in a fetus’s development where we identify it becoming a person.
• C: Therefore, it is always a person; from conception

Another
• 1. Persons have a right to life.
• 2. Women have the right to do whatever they want to do with their body.
• 3. Right 1 > Right 2
• C: Abortion ought not to be allowed

I got these in my philosophy class. I wish these didn't make sense to me. Any good rebutals?

WikiWednesday

Ok Nation. I am a dork. I love wikipedia. I love to wikisearch and go from link to link to link. It is fun, I promise. So in honor of that, today is WikiWednesday, where I'll give you a list of articles to read before I see you next or you could fail your course in Jarrod 101.

Car Hail Fun (part two)

As you may or may not know, my car was hailed on two Sunday's ago. I took it to American Family for an estimate. They told me that my car had the worst hail damage (at least $5,000) of any they've seen in Lawrence. Rock on. At least I'm first at something.

I'm getting it repaired on the 15th and I'm renting a car from Enterprise then. Apparently, if you have a claim in with an insurance company, you are allowed to rent a car even if you are not 21 or 25. Woo hoo. I like driving different cars.

Update on video below. It's kindof blurry on the video, but you did see it correctly, the defender grabbed Chris Kaman's junk and pulled it back. Apparently, he wasn't ready for that move. I think the quote should have been, "Hey, only my doctor and wife go there, I wasn't ready for that sortof action."

Blogalicious

Wow, two posts in 20 mins. Man, I rule.

Avi, my brother, now has a blog. Enjoy. (Wow, awkward comma use. I, suck, at this English, thing.)

Sorry my non-sports-loving friends for my previous post. That was a bit sports heavy. It's not my fault that the greatest NBA game of my life was on the same weekend the NFL Draft was too.

This weekend was all right. Amy's bonfire on Saturday, which was less than bonfirery due to rain. Still, we had smores, which increases the coolness factor of everything by at least four. Went back home on Sunday. Skipped Delta Force for dinner with the rents in Overland Park.

Today. Mowed the lawn. Almost needed a combine. It was 10 inches long in the back because I ran out of gas last time. Took an hour and a half. Rocked out to Arctic Monkeys. Good times.

Shout out to Mitzi because she read my blog. Makes me feel special.

I wonder why this diet never took off.



Catch you suckers later.

A lesson on the imperative:

Hi Nation. Do what I do.

Read: A Hali of a story.

Watch: This is brutal. This is why I'm afraid of football players. His nickname is the bonecrusher. I just hope he doesn't murder anyone next year for the Chiefs. (Unless they are playing Oakland.)

Enjoy: Today

Listen: To the Arctic Monkeys. Thanks to Charles for the CD. If you want a copy, email me, I'll burn you a copy of "Whatever People Say I am, I'm not". They are that good.

Go: to Spangles. Actually, not really, but is anyone else just about crazy after their advertising blitz in Lawrence?

Be amazed, be very amazed:
