My goals for this year.... Not resolutions...just goals.

1. Meet Frankie Manning

2. Compete in a lindy Hop competition

3. Submit a photo project to the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival in Jan of '10 for consideration. I have some amazing idea's...super secret smile

4. Brush up on my rope skills, (it's been almost a year since I did a suspension)

That's pretty much it for goals.

I wish to see pictures your second goal, if/when it comes to fruition. smile

Holy crud it's been a long while.... quick update.

My move to SLC was postponed due to my room mate getting in trouble at work.
I will now be moving down 1st of March sans a roomy.

The aerials lindy hop class I took, was amazing. I did much better than I had though I might, but alas my partner was a lot taller than...

Life is crazy, I've gone through two supervisors in the past few weeks, won a promotional incentive at work that is going to earn me a Blackberry Storm, Jawbone bluetooth, 8Gig micro sd card, and $150. Plus I think I'm going to win the same contest in December based on my sales projections. Woot!

I've been doing my homework for a new camera and I'm...

I think I'm going to end up liking it there.

The dance scene is good (it's no Seattle, but better than most cities)
I'm going to learn to snowboard finally.
My office has a corporate gym with trainers I can take advantage...

I kind of wish I'd explored the dance scene better. Or any scene, for that matter.

Where'd you end up finding living, if I may ask? I just lived pretty much right downtown when I was there, around 400 E 300 S, but there were some cute areas in that city.

Congratulations on the move. I hope it's everything you hope it will be.

So I'm moving. My employer has given me three locations to choose from Chandler AZ, SLC UT, or Albuquerque NM.

I'm about 90% certian Utah is where I'm heading.

Chandler is a distant 10%

it's true, all my mormon friends love to swing dance.

Noticed your post in the SLC group. Were those my three choices, I have to admit that I don't know much at all about Albuquerque, but I was in Salt Lake for work for about eight months and it was a nice city. Apartments are cheap and easy to find, I didn't think the snow was all that bad in the winter (it was more the heat in the summer that drove me crazy), and it really is gorgeous there. I didn't get to do as much exploring as I'd have liked, but even still, it was lovely. It doesn't take much driving at all to get outside the city to some really pretty areas. And if you get a chance, take the drive west on I-80 through the salt flats to Nevada. It's the strangest landscape I think I've ever seen in person.

It's been a crazy week, I had a great time at the Century Masters event, met some amazing people, learned some great new moves, including my first aerial tricks, thanks to a routine called first stops, where I do a lift while in tandem charleston called a russian jump, and then another jump, that finishes with a cannonball into open possition. I learned so much...

Woot! I'm on vacation. I'm going to be at the Masters of Lindy Hop and Tap event in Seattle, meeting and taking classes from some of the legends of swing and jazz dance.

Should be a killer week.

Thank you all for your condolences, they really did cheer me up. It felt good knowing you cared enough to say something, so again thank you.

I managed to plan my mothers services for the 7th. Her remains will be placed in a niche at the Verterans cemetary near FT. Lewis, her service will include an Honor guard, flag ceremony, and I opted to use...

I stumbled upon your page and am so sorry to see that you're mother is gone. It sounds like you've found a way to honor her that means a lot to you and your father. I find it helps to keep one dresser with photos and momentos of my loved ones who are no longer in human form, to see them and think loving thoughts.

Well, what can one do without religion?

best wishes to you!

Good stuff...

I've registered for my lindy hop class starting on June 12th

I'm only seven pounds away from my weightloss goal I had set for the summer, which means I'm most likely going to add another 20lb's to my goal leading into inspiration weekend.

I also got most of the days off I need to go to Inspiration weekend If I can get out...

Congratulations on your continued weight loss success. I've been totally off of my diet the last month or so. I can't do much in the gym due to my hernia. I'm also focused on my biopsy procedure on June 5th. I realize that I'm just making excuses and hope I can get back on track very soon.

Had a pretty damn cool weekend; saw amazing things.

Then this morning I was just slammed with the loneliest feeling I've had since my divorce 3 years ago. Fucking landmine trigger.


edit... I should add, for the sake of people I saw monday. Has nothing to do with my friends or loved ones. It's the anniversary of my divorce, which although amicable, still reeks of...

Thank you for your friendship approval as well as your speedy response to my message. I'll think it over before I decide whether or not to start the thread I spoke about.
