Life as a giant

Just a few Long exposure ones

Smoking is bad!!!!

2010-06-03T16:24:00.000-07:00

So it's been a little while since my last post so I figured why not post some of the photos I've been doing for a project I have been considering. Smoking.... Idky but I love pictures of people smoking, and I feel the way the smoke forms is an expression of the person themself so I don't know how I came about this idea but I htink its cool so I thought I would share it with you.

So what have I been doing???

2010-02-02T02:04:00.000-08:00

Well, What I've been doing is being busy. I've been so busy with photoshoots writing music, putting together shows and playing shows and talking to bands and promoting my music as well as just hanging out and making new friends. Life truly has been insane. I have had almost no rest since the start of this year.

First to the photography situation. I am proud to say that I have taken some spectacular photos (Not my words) at concerts and in turn, have been asked to come to quite a few shows and get PAID to go to the show and take photos. My going price is $25 plus the cost of the ticket. So I get $25 and the price of the ticket. But here is the catch, I get in for free! So I just feel like a little sneaky man, getting paid for going to a show when I should be paying a band. Hehe. But recently I have been doing some Promo work for some bands and everything like that. So ultimately, I'm doing pretty dang well with that money wise =]

As for the music stuff, writing the new music and re writing and re recording all the songs that we have done before has been so so so fun but also frustrating. Being an instrumental band, we need a substantial amount of material to make for a great song. Enough pushing emotion behind it as well. I feel we are doing that and more. We are doing a show on the 11th of February and we are so stoked for it. So ready too. First day we practiced was today. It was the first time we played through the songs with drums. Never recorded drums or had any ideas for them. It was perfect.

As for everything else. Thats all just everything else.

K Sera Show

2010-01-17T03:09:00.000-08:00

OMG! That show was so epic. I can't even begin to put into words how amazing that was to be a part of. I was also singing with them, on stage at one point. And I got asked by a band to possibly do some promos for them. All in all, amazing day.

Slacking

2010-01-14T01:34:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry I've been slacking. With good reason though. Getting ready for a few big shoots. One is this weekends show at club retro featuring K Sera (one of my absolute favourite bands) And I've also been just busy with recording music so please don't hate me =[

these should hold you over though. I'll have some more on friday for sure =] and ALOT on saturday.

2010-01-10T16:24:00.000-08:00

Headbanging while recording a breakdown in the hallway. Only one word to describe it..... "epic"

Day 1?

2010-01-03T23:32:00.000-08:00

So I got my camera back. I am happy. Maybe I'm going to do a 365? I don't know yet...... But here is a picture!

COLD!

2009-10-29T08:44:00.000-07:00

I woke up and it was 16 degrees out. It was amazing. I went and bought some cheap gloves and I don't know. Then I saw some frost on the cars outside and I just couldn't help but take some photos of the frost.

Mono

2009-10-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

So pretty much the past few days have been miserable. Last Thursday I went to the ER to get tested for Mono. They said I had it but the test was negative due to it being so early in the sickness for a positive result. So as a result of this, I wasn't able to get an excuse from the doctors from class. I haven't been able to keep much down or put much in. I am tired and unable to sleep. Everything is just unpleasant for me except for hugs. I love love love hugs still.

But on the brightside, IT SNOWED! I love the snow, it made me very very happy to look out the window last night and see tiny flakes of snow drifting to the ground in such an elegant fashion, almost as if the ballet of gravity and water was choreographed to the music that was playing with in my heart. I just love snow =]

Sick

2009-09-29T13:29:00.001-07:00

I don't understand why people do drugs. If they want to get high, why not just get a cold? I feel great when I'm sick other than the initial feeling sick part but thats all manageable. It should be against the honor code to feel this good and look great while feeling this way.

Engagement photos

2009-09-14T14:47:00.000-07:00

My roommate from last semester got engaged! WOOT! Even more so he asked me to take his engagement photos! WOOT!

Other than that, with my one week of being back in Rexburg, I've done alot. Most of my classes are really easy and I have signed up for two theater clusters to make up a minor. So yeah. I don't know. This should be an amazing semester.

Senior portraits DONE!

2009-09-03T10:42:00.001-07:00

I got paid for the first time of doing senior portraits! YES! I loved it so much. It was so fun. And I'm going to be back in Idaho in about 5 days. Its going to be amazing!

I miss skate shots

2009-08-12T22:10:00.000-07:00

So I've been away from skating for so so so long. So when I went to Davis to skate today I brought my camera like I always do. I got some (in my opinion) some amazing photos. Problem with skating with a large group of people is the noise. You can't keep it on the down low with 8 people riding hard on cement. Great day though. Really good day

Make up post

2009-08-07T16:15:00.000-07:00

So I have been home for two weeks now. In the two weeks I have recorded 3 new songs and started a new band, got a few photo jobs set up and I have also gone to two concerts. I have also acquired a xbox live account. I also got a new cat. Nothing else is really new but I am growing a beard over the break. Here are a few photos for you.

Blink 182

2009-07-22T04:03:00.000-07:00

So right now I would like to talk about by far the largest influence on my music. The soul band behind me wanting to play music and to do it as a career. They have helped me through out my life ever since I first heard their single on 'Now 3' in which I would burn a hole through the cd due to listening to that song so much. I have been in love with them for 10 years now. They have been with me through every point of my life that I can truly say made me who I am. These three band members and friends have helped me form so many friendships. Most of my best friends relationships are based off this band. Without them I infact would probably be dead. They have saved my life with their whimsical, childish and oh so deep lyrics countless times. They can bring me to tears with every lyric that I hear. I am talking about a band consisting of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker known simply to their fans as Blink.

I can recall perfectly the first time I listened to them while sitting in my father's blue pick up truck in 1999 after purchasing 'Now 3'. As I heard the first lyrics of the song come blasting through the passenger side speakers I fell in love. "All the small thing, True care, truth brings." I would not understand the deeper meaning behind that song till I was older. I was 7 at the time, the same age as the band in fact. They had formed in my birth year. This song was stuck in my head every second of every day for the next 3 years, not being able to get a hold of any other music by them.

Then came 2003 when I was able to get their self titled album 'Blink 182' for christmas. This would become the most inspiring, important and listened to album of my life. As I heard the first song from the album, ' Feeling This', the lyrics "Fate fell short this time" stuck in my mind and I hold these lyrics to this day very very very close to my heart.

When I had collected all 6 of their albums, I met Carlos in my match class in 7th grade. I had been playing drums for almost a year at that time and he played guitar. Our common connection, Blink 182 as our favourite band. My friend Zach, who did not play an instrument at the time, I met in my PE and English class. Our common connection, Blink 182. Zach has remained my friend since then and our love for Blink has grown since that first meeting.

When Carlos and I started a band, we met up with another friend. His name was Quest and he loved Blink 182 with a passion. We started a band originally named Reckless Abandon, after one of our favourite songs by Blink 182. We decided to get another gutiarist. His name was Billy. I remember playing with him for the first time and jamming on 'Easy Target' and having a great time doing so.

As we grew older and the band broke up, it seemed like they would never come back together. Then Travis Barker got in a plane crash and everything seemed to come right back together. Blink is back. Blink will live on forever. This is a commemoration to the single greatest band on earth. These three musicians have influenced me so much and I can't get enough of their music. I will never forget that first time listening to them in the car or all the friends who I've made based on our love of them. I will always hold them high in my respect and hold every one of their songs close to my heart. One day I may be able to wear one of their lyrics on my heart, quite preferably "Fate fell short this time". The one lyric that has countlessly saved my life and is always fresh in my mind when ever something goes wrong. I love them and I hope you hold them in a high respect for all they have done for music and every one in my life. There will never be another band that can take that spot that Blink 182 has tattooed on my bruised heart.

End of classes

2009-07-21T14:22:00.000-07:00

So today is my last day of any real classes. I am currently sitting in my Book of Mormon class waiting for it to be over so I can go back to Cassie's apartment. I can't wait to be home so I can grow out my beard, draw with Chase, jam with McKay and Will, sing to a blasting car radio to the songs of Bowling For Soup and Cute Is What We Aim For and to have Mckinley wax my chest. When I get back I am also excited to see my mothers. Have some good conversations with everyone back home. I can't wait to get home but I don't want to leave the presence of Cassie. I will probably miss her more than any other thing about Rexburg. I will see you in two days!

One week

2009-07-16T02:20:00.000-07:00

So its one more week till I leave Rexburg and get back to Woodland. I'm so stoked to see all my friends and family. Even more so, I'm excited to start recording my new EP, jamming with a few bands and trying to schedule some tour things or some shows for LWG pretty soon. I'm also considering getting some ink done while I'm down there. I know I'm going to get lectured on this by Caryn and my mother but oh well.

In other news I received word that I would be accepted into the LA school of recording arts but the problem is that I am only 17 and they won't take people under 18 so thats out the door for now. I will wait another year I guess.

I also have set another goal for this break, to try to get some muscle on my tummy! Just thought all of you would like to know that.

Professional musician?

2009-07-11T06:04:00.000-07:00

I thought you would be interested in hearing that I have applied to be registered in the Itunes store which means that I get paid royalties on every track of mine that gets sold. I'm not sure the percentage of what is mine when the track is purchased but nevertheless I would be a paid musician. I will find out if I am approved or not either via e-mail or a letter in the mail. If I am approved, I will sign a contract with them about sales and all that crap.

Ep announcement

2009-07-10T13:53:00.001-07:00

So after being at college for about three months, I've been working on some new material and ironing out some ideas about new music. So over the seven week break in California, I will be working on a new EP that will probably be done by September. The EP is going to be titled "Songs From The Macbook' which posses the basic concept that all of the songs that are on that EP will be recorded straight from my Macbook. All guitars are plugged straight into my computer or recorded through my onboard mic. There will be some guest performing from my friends Zach Bruno, WIll Devine and McKay Curteman, each of whom are some of my best friends and talented musicians and I will be also working with their bands very closely and I will be announcing my contributions with them as they come. I am to be back in less than two weeks and I hope all of you are enjoying your summer. I love you and care for each and every one of you and pray that you will remember to support your local music store and indie record store.

-Ryan Mannie

Sigur ros

2009-07-08T18:26:00.000-07:00

So lately I've been craving to get back home and start writing music with my friends again and this made me want to come back even more. I love this kind of music. its fantastic in my opinion. So Cassie and I are going strong and everything is alright with that department and I feel amazing. Hope to see all of you soon.

Yellowstone

2009-07-06T10:33:00.000-07:00

So we had a four-day weekend last week. I'm so bored in class so I thought I might sit back and remember Friday and tell you about it. So on friday we went to Yellowstone. It was Cassie, her two roommates Rose and Grace and me. All jammed in Rose's little car with Cassie and I sharing the backseat and blasting disney songs. It was quite interesting. It was a very boring drive and Cassie even fell asleep. It was raining on and off, very hard and there was lighting and it wasn't the most pleasant thing in the world. So when we arrived, we had been stuck in a small car for about 2 hours and one and a half of which, Cassie was sleeping and using my lap as a pillow. The price to get in was 25$ per car, which I have no money so I need to pay Rose back later. As we get in, we decide to go to old faithful and the bubbling mud pits. As we get to the mud pits we made a stop at some falls that were pretty but over all kind of boring. And on the way we saw some bison and a ranger dude. When we got to the mud, I was happy. Pretty bacteria. Need I say more? Then when we were done with that we decided to go to Ol' Faithful. It was quite a disappointment. Both times that we saw it go off, it went at like half the amount that It usually does. So that was very disappointing. Then onto more geysers. I think now I should mention none of us got much sleep so we were kind of exhausted. Cassie, when she gets tired, sometimes gets really hyper. Its insanely entertaining. Mix this with my excitement for colourful things and shooting water and Cassie's exhausted hyperness then you get the most annoying couple in yellowstone for a day. Even more so, we acted like 5 year-olds with the colourfulness. More annoying than those old asian couples who can't speak anything but korean. After walking around the geysers for about two hours we decided to go home. Then more sleep on our way back! That was pretty much Yellowstone, it wasn't that exciting. Haha

Not your typical cookie cut kid

2009-06-24T12:06:00.000-07:00

So while at a church school, I have realized I am not the cookie cut mormon kid that seems to dwell here. Most of the people that I meet here have grown up in the church, know the scriptures, have served a mission or are dating a return missionary. I am a convert who has done drugs, involved himself in sexual acts, gotten so drunk he has fallen off his face, burnt down a park, been arrested several times, has a good knowledge of his right for they have been read to him so many times and have been to hardcore concerts. Most of the people I meet here cringe at the sound of cursing or screamo music (its sad not being able to listen to Dace Gavin Dace openly) and will openly tell me that it is "offensive to them". So pretty much, I am missing home more and more every day. Especially since I heard Polo got a cone put on his head because he keeps licking his paw for some reason and now, as consequence of the cone being on his head, can not open the door but instead just sits and whimpers because he can't get out.

In other news, I have gotten bored and started putting together a portfolio. So far it only has about 16 photos but I would like to get it up to 50 photos. But oh well. I have all summer to get that number up and I have alot of opportunities to do so.

Two days in a row

2009-06-23T16:46:00.000-07:00

(old photo but I like it)

So I was reading through all my old blogs today and then I found that I used to write so much more on each post than I have been lately. So here is a reminiscent post.

5 songs I've been loving

1:No Cars Go- The Arcade Fire

2: Pretty much the entire Black Sheep Boy albums from Okkervil River

3: The Prize Figher- The Velvet Teens

4: Song For Clay- Bloc Party

5: Chia-Like, I Shall Grow- Say Anything

So I honestly don't have anything to report except for the fact that I am really busy and SUPPER excited to come home and see everyone. I am reminded of the album title "All of a Sudden, I miss everyone" by Explosions in the Sky. Also, my music is being used for a slide show in my Photography class! Woot!

titles are a bit over rated I must say

2009-06-22T10:47:00.000-07:00

So I really hate going to my writing class. Its really boring, mainly due to the fact that all we do is talk about random things and get off track. And I hate my photo class right now. It has been raining for about three weeks straight and there is no difference in lighting and I need to do a montage for my photo class. Enough venting. So other than my classes things have been going great, nothing really to report that is too exciting but hey, its still something to post. I just wanted to post a picture.

Sailor soup

2009-06-19T04:29:00.000-07:00

Well, since at college I have very little money to buy the food in which I would desire. I don't have everything anymore. Its not fun. Whats even worse is that I can not make my creation that has become known as 'Sailor Soup'. Here is a short bio for this creation of yummy-ness.

Origin: 186 Walnut st. Woodland, CA 95695 at about 5 PM during early December 2008.

History: Once while I was sick I had a large desire and burning in my stomach for vegetable soup. But Judy was not home to make it at the time so I had to attempt to make it. I started out with 2 cans of sliced tomatoes, 2 cubes of vegetable boyan with enough water to boil a chopped zucchini, half an onion, carrots and some other things which I can not remember. As it boiled, I added various pastas and seasonings. As it cooled down and was acceptable to eat, I did. It was orgasmically tasty.

I then started to make it with other ingredients but still revolved it around the onions, pasta and tomatoes. As it progressed, I started to make it later and later, even when it was about 11 PM I would start to make it for the drunken people in the house at the time. They loved it. As nights came and pass the demand for the soup that was more highly addicting than the drugs and alcohol which were passed around and consumed outside. One night the statement was made by Billy that "We are all like sailors, and you are the chef who just throws s*%t in a pot and makes it taste good. Dude, its like 'Sailor Soup'. DUDE! It is f*%&$#g Sailor Soup!" The name stayed.

Sailor soup is one of the most coveted things to ever go into the house. When finished, the pot is dry with in 10 minutes after the announcement. But as I left for college, so did the knowledge of how to make the soup. As to this day, it has been over 2 months since anyone has made Sailor Soup. I decided to try to create a new recipe for the food that is needed for Sailor Soup. But the necessary atmosphere is far from present. What else is need is as fallows.

1: Hookah

2: More than one musician partaking of the food

3: Conversation

4: Random guitar 'noodling'

5: Laughing

6: Middle of the night (the most important part to make the soup itself properly)

(optional)

Loud girls laughing

The new attempt at sailor soup has failed due to the lack of all but one need for the right environment to enjoy Sailor Soup. To properly make sailor soup you must be trained by a master 'Sailor Chef'. You must be willing to devote your life to know and hold the secrets of Sailor Soup. To know the knowledge is to be fully faithful to the soup and ingredients. I am, at the moment, the only person in this world who knows all the secrets of the soup. This knowledge was given to me through serious prayer and fasting for the knowledge for the worlds greatest soup. It has been given. Sailor Soup will be made again once I return home. Do not fret Billy. You will have your fix soon enough.

May god protect your souls after reading this. The fact I'm uttering these words through a blog may in fact curse the soup. I have not been commanded to tell any of the necessities for the soup. But nor have I been told not to. What I have given to you should be held as high as the words of the wisest man to ever walk this earth.

Random pictures for the lack of posts

2009-06-17T01:00:00.001-07:00

I really haven't been posting any pictures that much lately or even taking that many so I thought I would have some fun today and take a picture of my window. I don't know why I like it but I do. I honestly need to do something a little more with my days. I think I may take up photography a little more or maybe start trying to draw. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No way, no how. Did I get a girlfriend now.

2009-06-10T23:39:00.000-07:00

So lately I haven't been posting that many blogs nor have I been online lately souly to the fact that I have found a significant other. I have been over at her apartment nearly every free hour of the day. She cooks, and I do the dishes. Its awesome. But anyways, due to this, I have not had time to take may photos sadly so, needless to say I am behind in my photography class. Not far far behind but enough to scramble to put together my motion assignment. I have a few good shots and sadly, one I had to use that was old. Here is the old one that I love. I miss shooting shows =[

I love editing photos in my class period

2009-06-08T11:47:00.001-07:00

this is the original

awesome pink sandles

2009-06-01T20:07:00.000-07:00

I love my new sandals. they are so sexy I just absolutely love them. I went to take some photos for a project. I rode for about fifteen, twenty miles to take a photo that I didn't even get. so I got really sunburnt and I can't even put on socks.

Awkward things in a singles ward and news

2009-05-27T01:31:00.000-07:00

Well, as you all know I am only seventeen and I am in a singles ward in college. Anyone who has been to a singles ward may be able to tell you there awe some awkward things being in a singles ward. Being younger than everyone else in a singles ward. Here are a few things that I find awkward in a singles ward;

1: Being the youngest person in the ward and not even being old enough to be in elders quarm

2: Everyone else conversing over their mission experiences

3: People who are dating in with in the ward

4: sitting in the back and watching the guys try to flirt with the girls they are sitting next to

5: People giving each other back rubs during sacrament meeting.

As for the news goes, I have been asked to have one of my photos be made into an album cover! WOOT! I get paid for it and everything. Its pretty sweet, but more details on that to fallow.

So on Sunday I was alone and I was locked out so I had to climb through my bathroom window which I think was pretty funny. Then I proceeded to leave the apartment again and go take pictures at the construction site (don't tell anyone) and this is my favourite shot that I took.

I'm all alone this weekend!

2009-05-23T10:04:00.000-07:00

Its a little bit sad but I can handle it. Its a four day weekend for school and all of my roommates are out doing something out of town for the entire break. So I'm just here playing video games and watching 'Lost' and finishing my photo project.

Some old film photos

2009-05-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

Boredom post

2009-05-10T14:09:00.000-07:00

Its a lazy mothers day afternoon and all my roommate are out and about with they interests or are at their parents house to celebrate this holiday. I'm just sitting her bored out of my mind think about this homework assignment that I am dreading. Its not difficult to do but difficult to think about. I hope all of you mothers and future mothers are having a great day. Here are some pictures for your amusement.

(this is what we do with our spare time)

YEAH!

2009-05-05T21:22:00.001-07:00

Didn't really know what to write about so here are some pictures

Mario Kart

2009-05-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

Woot, first Friday out of the apartment! Played some Mario Kart for about 4 HOURS! It was quite intense. I also tried to help someone learn how to take pictures. It was very funny.

Cayla didn't want me to take a photo of her. I took one anyways. And you know what? I LOVE IT!

Roommates and more photos for my project

2009-05-01T17:56:00.000-07:00

In our apartment, we all do our homework. Its quite amazing.

(possibly one.....)

(and maybe another?)

1st assignment so far

2009-04-30T10:30:00.001-07:00

So I finally decided on what to take photos of for my first assignment! BIKES!!!!

Here are the shots I've taken so far today.

I still need to take 21 more and pick out the top four photos

GAH!

2009-04-29T13:15:00.000-07:00

SO MUCH FUN HERE! GAH!

I have been meeting with this girl. And due the the fact that my mother reads this now, I will not give any details about her other than that which as already been said to specific individuals.

So for my photography class, we need to take 24 photos of a specific subject such as a specific door or a specific person and out of those 24, pick 4 of the best ones. I'm at a lose at this point as to what to photograph. If you have any ideas I would be glad to take them into account.

(I often get bored in class and we were testing settings on our cameras that day so I took picture)

(Woot for random windows.)

(trying to find a subject for my photography assignment)

Forks in the roads can conjoin at the end

2009-04-24T19:59:00.000-07:00

So I have been doing flips in my mind about what I want to do with art in college,Whether to go for photography or graphic design. For me, both will inevitably came to the same road, artwork for bands. Either way I will be doing art work for bands! So why am I trying to hard to decide? I don't want to get bored while studying for my major. As of know I think its going the be photography but It may change. Please tell me your opinion if you don't mind.

We all decided to art up our living room and This was my contribution.

Love it here

2009-04-21T22:06:00.000-07:00

Its very true. So far nothing has really gone wrong. All my classes are essentially easy, I'm getting along great with everyone. I have found a new refuge at night for where to do homework. THE LIBRARY! Its so amazing. I can get all my work done there at night and in the day while everyone is at class I can study anything I need. I really do miss all of you, so much that I took two photos for you today!

Also I recorded a new song. Go check it out

first assignment

2009-04-20T11:41:00.000-07:00

thought you might like this. this is my first assignment in writing that I did today.

'Once, as a small child, I would always enjoy to sit outside of my bedroom window that overlooked the pine trees, rose bushes and various furry critters frolicking around with one another. While on the roof my father was working in the garage, crafting a marvelous wooden boat that would have rivaled that of the vikings. It was this boat that would define his life as a craftsman, after working on it for over a quarter of his life it had to have been marvelous. The only downfall of his talent was his obsessive way of NEVER allowing anyone to see his work. Naturally, as a young boy I was curious as to what my oh so magnificent father was working on. After all, one day I would be in his shoes one day inspiring my own son to do great things as my father had inspired me to do. So as my curiosity started to get the best of me, I crept over to where the sun roof in the garage was. As I peered down into the tinted garage, I saw wonderful things, great things and things of which I can not describe in this because I am in a mormon college. There was my father, with my mother, in his oh so marvelous boat...... together. I screamed, ran inside my room through the open window. That night, I learned an important lesson. The stork was dead.'

I-team

2009-04-18T23:01:00.000-07:00

So orientation is over! WOO! I have officially been orientated. Mainly boring but very informative. I have met two of my roommates, Matt and Arturo (he actually just came out to say goodnight and gave me a hug) and they are pretty much awesome and supper easy to get along with, I love the campus, I love how everything is going so far but I do really miss all of you (except Rachel) and I hope all of you are having as great a time as I.

(I-team)

Improv group who I talked to and they seemed like they liked me.

In Idaho

2009-04-15T23:51:00.000-07:00

So I'm in Idaho. The drive was boring and It snowed half the time. I move into the apartment and I will hopefully have a picture of it along with my roommates, I have any after tomorrow.

True sibling love

2009-04-14T14:50:00.000-07:00

I said the most awkward thing. So I'm talking to Rachel and we said how we think of each other as siblings. So me, being who I am, says "LETS START A FAMILY!"

By this I ment like assign people whom we are not related to as family members, but Then I realized my mistake.

AWKWARD!

No more seminary!

2009-04-10T00:10:00.001-07:00

I finished all my make up for seminary and the last question I answered told me to bare my testimony of christ and I felt inspired to post what I wrote on my blog.

"I know that Jesus Christ gave his life to save all of us. That he came here to relieve us of our sins if we have faith and repent. I know that while in the garden, he knew me, thought of me and felt every pain that I have ever felt and more than I can comprehend. So much so that he bled from every pore. Through this action he lifted the shutters to awake the sleeping, that through him we can all have eternal live. I know he loves each and everyone of us and has compassion for all of our pains because he has felt and suffered them, and for this I am eternally grateful. And I say these things which I know with all my heart, mind and spirit to be true, in his holy name. Amen"

Love you all!

No more fine!

2009-04-02T12:59:00.001-07:00

I got out of the ticket! I was so nervous. BUT I WON!!!!!

Take that Woodland Police Department! I will continue to take photos of my friends skating when ever I want! WOOT!

And another photo for you becuase I have been depriving you of them.

(This is Dale. He is twenty-one years old)

Two weeks notice

2009-03-30T22:23:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh. I leave in about two weeks. I'm freaking out right now. I really hope everything goes well. I still have some shopping and all of that stuff to do. Lately I have felt like I have been imposing on everyone around me.

Also lately I have realized how much my music is going to annoy my roommates, some music will make them question my mental state. Such as the music of 'Black Moth Super Rainbow', 'Modest Mouse', 'Animal Collective', 'Black Dice' and an assortment of many other abstract bands. I'm just afraid to go to school I guess. I don't know why this blog is so scattered. Oh well. I'm going to try to spend my last two weeks with my friends, doing things that I won't be able to do for the next three months.

I think I maybe depressed again. Not sure. Don't really think so, probably just outragously stressed. I love all of you.

All set

2009-03-26T14:26:00.000-07:00

I'm all set for college! Nothing to do but wait now. I'm really nervous and I feel like I might pass out from being so nervous. Oh well. And for anyone who wants to know, I will live right across from the Kirkham building (I think thats what it is)

But I have been sick for the past week and I need to get better so I can do my show tomorrow! I'm so nervous about school. But the shows aren't that nerve racking. I love them actually. They are REALLY fun =]

Hope all of you are having a great time and staying healthy. I love you all

One of the best days ever

2009-03-18T00:56:00.000-07:00

So I have been behind on my posts which is very sad, I know, I know. but I'm back to tell you two or three very exciting things.

1: I have a show on Thursday (buy tickets) and it will be my last show in California till possibly the summer.

2: I got a new guitar. Its absolutely beautiful and all must see it (come to the show) It is my pride and joy as of now but I still don't have a name for it.

3: I registered for classes!!!! Sad thing is that I don't have any art classes because none of them were available or the ones that were available conflicted with the other classes I am taking. Here are the list of classes I'm taking.

Science foundations : Monday, Friday 9am-10am

Writing foundations: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30am-12:30pm

College algebra(BLAHHH!!!!): Tuesday, Thursday 8am-9:30am

American foundations : Tuesday, Thursday 11:30am-1pm

Book of mormon : Tuesday, Thursday 3:15pm-4:15pm

Intro to BYUI : Wednesday 9am-10am

So Wednesday is going to be my favourite =]

My hair cut

2009-03-13T18:15:00.001-07:00

Someone asked to see it so here it is. I apologize if you go blind from my white ears.

So so sorry about the lack of posts

2009-03-13T01:04:00.000-07:00

So I have been so stressed lately with a variety of things such as birthdays, going away parties, shopping for school, financial things and eveyrthing else. I al supper eager to leave. But even more so to play this show that is coming up before I leave as well as getting my new guitar.

I have been too busy to take photos for the day. So rather than try to catch up, I'm just going to do it for fun from now on. But also, I have almost been hit by cars a few times. About three times a day. Its crazy.

And to add to all the crazy-ness I got a hair cut. Its so cold now. I have nothing covering my ears.

but with this hair loss, I have apparently gained a few years in how I look. And due to this, I have had hordes of teenagers asking me to buy them cigarettes. Its weird.

So I do really hope all of you are doing well. I love you and I wish you the best of luck =]

Major make up

2009-03-09T20:38:00.000-07:00

Woot!!! I'm so excited to be leaving! Its supper exciting! But I have been so excited I forgot to take photos so here is my major make up for the past few days.

I'm so sorry

I've already started packing, I'm going to miss all of you so much. Hope all is well =]

Day64

2009-03-06T19:38:00.000-08:00

I PICKED OUT MY CLASSES! Finaly. Now I need to sign up for them =[

Day 64

(Yes I have a pool Curtis)

Late

2009-03-05T22:44:00.000-08:00

I have been doing alot of late posts. I've just been so busy with college. So here is yesterday's photo that I took today because I didn't have time yesterday. and I didn't take another one today so I'm sorry

Day 62

2009-03-03T20:18:00.000-08:00

I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND NEXT MONTH! (if disneyland were in Rexburg Idaho) So I figured out that I got accepted to the spring and fall track for school. Now this means I will be starting going there on April 16th. I just learned this last night so now eveyrone who is helping me is franticly running around trying figure out how I am going to do this whole school situation and get everything in on time. I didn't have any time at all to figure it out. I am working on the housing tomorrow. I have been so busy today I haven't had a chance to take a photo so I will try to make up for that tomorrow.

(the make up for yesterday)

I love you all and I am going to miss all of you.

Be happy! (Day 61)

2009-03-02T17:05:00.000-08:00

It seems I know alot of people who are a bit sad or dissapointed in some way. And I'm the only one who is so fervently happy that it makes me want to help everyone else that is feeling down. If there is anything that I can do to help ANYONE that reads this, comment this post and let me know. I will do my best to accomplish what you would like. Also, I read through all my other posts and I've realized that the one thing that was always on my mind when I typed was if I were to get accepted to college. And now that that has happened I feel that I need something else to look towards in the future. If you have any ideas you can tell me.

Oh! And this is my 100th post of this blog! WOOT! Little party for 5 minutes after this is published! Woot! Yeah. Have a wonderful, exciting, healthy, uplifting and relaxing rest of the day when ever you may read this.

With love,

Ryan

Day 61 (Tony is happy!)

Day 60

2009-03-01T22:27:00.001-08:00

So boring today! I figured out how I'm going to cut my hair though! And I found a very good band. They are called Deerhunter. I think you should check them out. Love you all and have a great, fun filled day.

Day 60 (this is a horrible picture, sorry)

Happy Birthday!

2009-03-01T09:20:00.000-08:00

So I have been horrible with posting things on time but this time I have a legitimate excuse. It was Billy's birthday party at my house yesterday which means alot of things going around that young people under the age of 21 should not indulge in. And as we mostly all know, with that substance and the abuse of it comes drama! There was a lot of drama , people mad for someone sitting on someones lap, people getting mad for no reason and even I got involved in the drama when I was trying to teach someone how to play guitar and then her girlfriend (yes, her girlfriend) got mad at her for spending all her time with me. All in all, I hated it. I would not approve of this party for my other friends birthday which was on the same day. And I am left to only wonder how her birthday party went. I hope she had the best birthday she could and she needs to tell me exactly how it went when I get to talk to her next. I love you all and to all a good possible day!

Day 59

2009-02-28T13:52:00.000-08:00

OMG! Yesterday was soooo much fun! My friends Zach, Mellisa and Tyler went to davis to walk around and go to a park with a giant stone slide. It was an endeavor trying to get there but once we did, it was amazing. Then we decided to walk about 6 miles to borders and read random books. Great day. LOVE YOU ALL! And happy happy happy birthday Rachel!!! I wish I had something better to give you but I don't have anything

Today!

2009-02-26T22:20:00.000-08:00

So I didn't get to take a photo of the day so pretend that photo from earlier was in this post! So for a second day I taught a lesson with the missionaries! I really am mormon. On another note, I'm going to have to go to court for something I didn't do. If you remember the post I had about that. So thats a downer and I think I may have picked my major and minor but I'm not 100% sure its what I want but for now I will settle for it. Oh well Have a great day/ night/ year =]

Back in time (Day 56

2009-02-26T09:56:00.000-08:00

(I didn't have time to post anything last night so I'm doing it now and just pretend like I wrote this last night)

So last night (remember this is from two days ago) I got some exciting news. I GOT ACCEPTED! WOOT! Supper fabulous Jonas Brothers party! (seriously, I want to have one) I was so excited that I almost peed. So I ran t the bathroom, relieved my bladder and ran back and did a happy dance and jump. So I called everyone that were on a need to know basis (Julia, Caryn, Curtis, Rachel, Natalie, John, my mom and pretty much anyone who reads this blog) and if you really need to know, I got accepted to BYU-Idaho. I don't know when I'm leaving either so thats a bit sad. But oh well. Thats my exciting news.

Other than that today (yesterday) I felt extremely mormon. I taught a lesson with the missionaries, I read my scriptures, I went to seminary and everything. The one thing I didn't do is go to mutual which I think isn't a bad thing because I did have a previous commitment. Anyways, I'm also selling my drum set if you are interested or know someone who is interested in buying it. My price is $600. Its practically new, and I'm going to but all new heads on the drums and all new hardware too! (sorry to push this on those who actually read my blog) So if you know anyone who is looking to buy a drum set, just tell me and yeah.

I love all of you, I am supper giddy and I feel slightly like an asian school girl when american punk bands come to Japan.

(The one from yesterday)

And a fresh one because I feel so bad for not posting one yesterday

Day 55

2009-02-24T18:37:00.000-08:00

So I got an e-mail yesterday from the music department at BYU-Idaho about what instruments I play and if I'm still interested in a music major and all that stuff and they sort of made it seem like I got in and It was a bit confusing and a bit exciting but still depressing. So Today I get about 3 e-mails about how it didn't mean that I got accepted. It was so devastating. Oh well, gave me a laugh for a while. Hope all is well. I couldn't really decide on a photo of the day so here are the ones that I've chosen so far.

This one is for Rachel because I think we had an epic conversation about milkshakes when we first started talking.

The one from yesterday

2009-02-24T13:19:00.000-08:00

I will tell you about yesterday in w later post. sorry

Day 54

Day 53

2009-02-22T20:18:00.000-08:00

Don't know what happened today. I was blacking out most of the day. YEAH!

Photo booth

2009-02-22T19:02:00.000-08:00

I honestly don't use photo booth at all so just to prove it, I posted all of my photos that I've taken with it.

Day 52

2009-02-21T18:19:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy lately. This week feels like the longest week ever! I've been really busy with music and such and I have been sick too so not much chance to get any good photos. For a few days I didn't even take any photos because I was so tired so needless to say I've gotten rusty. But oh well. I hope everyone has been happy, well rested and looking beautiful which isn't a problem with anyone who reads this blog. Especially the men, they are all very handsome. Wish all of you the best of love. =]

Day 52

Make up!!!! (for the past days)

2009-02-20T22:27:00.000-08:00

So I haven't been taking pictures for the past few days. I've just been sick and busy and a bunch of other things have been going on like recording and trying to find instruments and other musicians and everything! But have no fear I am no longer being so lazy. Hope all is well with you and no one is sick. BYE!

(my mom wants me to take photos of her jewelry)

SORRY!

2009-02-18T22:24:00.000-08:00

I slept all day today! It was quite nice but the dreams I had were a bit troubling. I really want to get into college but I'm having doubts, huge doubts about getting accepted. I guess I should look on the bright side. I didn't have a chance to take a photo today either so I am really sorry. I had to use one from yesterday. Sorry sorry sorry. Hope all of you feel loved.

day 48

2009-02-17T18:04:00.000-08:00

So bored today. I didn't really do much except talk to an ex meth addict about the gospel.

Hope all is well, love all around and blah blah blah

day 47

2009-02-16T21:08:00.001-08:00

Today was a sick day. I just slept all day. It was amazing

Favourite lyric for the time being

Snails- The Format

"My family's not rich by any means

But I feel we won the lottery, that day

The rock swallowed the girl

And I cried as cameras caught my eyes

My tears turned into butterflies

They flew away ask caskets close

A new day comes you'll wake unfolding

Smile when you feel the sunlight"

day 47

Day 46

2009-02-16T17:37:00.000-08:00

Another late post that I have to apologize for. I was cooped up in the music department all day yesterday and we were supposed to be in the studio all day but it turns out there was a mix up with the schedule and we didn't get to record till the band that was in there got out. Funny thing is they invited me in to talk about the whole dilemma. So when they were done, I asked if we could set up and they said yes. And keep in mind when we had planned this we were to understand we couldn't use their equipment. The person that was in charge then proceeded to tell me where everything was in the studio and the pass-code to get into ANY door in the building that had a keypad on it. So pretty much, I had the keys to the kingdom! He even offered to let us use their sound board and computer but I decided that I didn't want to screw anything up so I said no. We got into the studio at about 6 and got out at about 11 just for two drum tracks. It was a bit of a let down for me but I was relieved to be done. We decided to come home that night because we really didn't have anything to do tomorrow so that was really nice for me because I've been sick for a few days now. I hope all of you are well and didn't miss me too much, I'm sure you didn't. Have a nice night!

Day 46

Day 45

2009-02-15T10:51:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the late post, I got into San Jose last night at around 10:30. and I haven't had internet since I got here so I haven't had a chance to post till now. I am in a class room on campus writing music with the band.

So yesterday was pretty hectic. Trying to figure out the whole situation of how to get here, pack, and what to do once we got here. Not to mention I'm kind of sick. So the drive was filled with loud singing as Will's car stereo was stolen. We only stopped once to get cough syrup, soda and gum. So once we got to San Jose we met up with Mckay and went to drop off our equipment in the music department. So Steven and I got kind of board waiting inside for someone to open the recording studio so we wandered and we found the concert hall! There were instruments I've never seen before so if you know me, you know that I'm interested in playing EVERY instrument I see. So naturally I was in love. We played an improvised duet on piano and harpsichord. It was quite amazing. I loved that concert grand. Anyways! I will update again later. Sorry for the late post. Love you.

Day 44

2009-02-13T23:22:00.000-08:00

5 really good songs

1: Julia- The beatles

2: Not so tough, found out- Copeland

3: Never gonna give you up- Rick Astley

4: A lack of color- Death Cab For Cutie

5: Thriller- Michael Jackson

Today was really boring. I really wish I had plans for tomorrow but they were slightly interrupted but I can't really be angry. Oh well. Doing nothing tomorrow night. Sitting home for another lonely Valentines day. Hope you are all loving what ever you are doing. I love all of you!!!!

Day 44

Day 43

2009-02-12T18:02:00.000-08:00

5 of my favorite songs (in no real order)

1: When you thought you'd never stand out- Copeland

2: Gunpowder: A ballet- Dr. Manhattan

3: I'm kicking myself- As tall as lions

4: X&Y- Coldplay

5: When we escape- Minus the bear

Today was pretty bad really. For the past two days I've been hugging the toilet like its my best friend and my other friend Ginger (ale) helps me feel better. I have been being lazy all day. Watching TV, staying on the computer and sitting on the couch. I have also decided to try my hand at growing a beard. Thought you should know that. Hope all of you feel much better and only like your toilet as though it were an annoying relative who you only talk to when you absolutely need to. Love you.

Day 43

One for Curtis

2009-02-12T15:11:00.000-08:00

So last night at rehearsal we got let out early. Everyone seemed to be eager to get out of there. Some more eager than others. So I helped put everything away and I turn around to find Curtis as he usually the one who drives me home and I couldn't find him. So I figure I will just walk home. So I start walking then one of the other cast members offers me a ride so I take it and go home, no big deal.

I wake up the next morning with 2 messages on my phone from Curtis. I thought they were pretty funny (sorry) just because he cared so much about me. Thank you Curtis. That picture is for you Curtis.

photos from today

2009-02-11T21:44:00.001-08:00

I took quite a few good ones after my first post, I just wanted to share them

Day 42

2009-02-11T16:34:00.001-08:00

5 Places I feel most comfortable

1: Church

2: On stage with an instrument

3: At the Stapp's

4: In a recording studio

Wow, nothing really happened today. Sorry to say nothing to report.

Here's a new quote.

"To perceive something is to deceive yourself into believing the facts to be what you want them to be."

Day 42

College, here I possibly come! (day 41)

2009-02-10T16:49:00.000-08:00

So It turns out that I DID have everything in on time! This week has be so great so far. I think this could be my best week ever. To make it even more exciting, I have been asked by a number of other bands to come out to shows and take photos of them. I think I am actually happy. Its intense. I love all of you

Day 41 (This guy was waiting for his 'Homie' to pick him up. No joke, those were his words)

Woot for college applications, not really.

2009-02-09T16:52:00.000-08:00

5 things that help me sleep.

1: the sound of Icelandic bands

2: Arrested Development

3: When I talk to someone on the phone for an hour a day

4: Having written something that I like that day

5: Reading my scriptures

I really dislike college applications. I have everything in then BAM! They have something that I missed on the application that I had already filled out and now its highschool information, what classes I'm going to or have taken my senior year which I will never actually take so I have no way to fill it out! FRUSTRATION! And now I have to wait for tomorrow to call because Idaho is in a different time zone! But on the bright side, the band that got me into music is back together!!!! That is one of the best things that can happen for me! I was so happy when I saw it I cried for about 45 minutes and I could hardly breath. Hope all of you could feel that way all the time. That happy, not like you are going to suffocate.

"Ryan, can you please post two photos for today? PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!?!?!?!?!"

"Oh don't you fret my little cupcake, I would give you the world if I could."

Day 40

Day 39 was a day of rest

2009-02-08T17:33:00.000-08:00

5 things I'm going to do this week

1: Help Chuy take pictures

2: Call everyone in my phone who's name starts with an 'R'

3: Try to get together every musician for my live set.

4: Record music

5: Start doing art again

Lately my mind has been racing with thoughts of my live set for Living With Giants. And also I have started to realize this is so much bigger than I knew. During the show on friday alot of the security people thought they knew me from a band and it turns out they all knew the name 'Living With Giants' and when I proceeded to show them my music on my Ipod they had heard it before. It seems that I have already grown much further than I had expected to with in the time that has past. I still love all of you so much. I really hope you are doing well.

Day 38 (sorry, I didn't have much to chose from today because my camera battery only had so much life in it and then it started to rain)

Day 38

2009-02-07T20:24:00.000-08:00

5 things I want to learn how to do

1: Be more outgoing

2: Stick to what I say

3: Sing falsetto

4: Drive

5: Dance

Today was full of music yet again! After 6 hours of constant ear peircingly loud music, you would think that I may want to take a break. NOPE! My friends and I ventured to Sacramento to go to the Carvin store and Guitar Center. I fell in love with an amp and a guitar and I am pretty set on both now. But other than that I didn't have a chance to take the photo of the day. I was planning on doing in but my battery was dead so I am posting one from last night and I know Caryn has already seen it but I'm not sure about anyone else. Hope you like it.

Day 38 (I'm a sad, sad robot)

One for Jules

2009-02-07T10:47:00.001-08:00

So at the concert last night I met some great bands and one person in particular caught my eye. He looked like a punk version of Kevin Jonas!!! He and I became instant friends and we hung out for the whole night. I'm getting about 15$ from each band that played last night but his hug was worth everything I have.

One to start the night

2009-02-06T14:26:00.000-08:00

So there will probably not be a designated photo of the day due to my job as a photographer for a band. I'm going to be mucho busy so this is the faux-photo of the day. I will post a link to a photo album of all the photos from tonight. I hope you all have a splended day =]

Day 37

OMG! Unicorns, Ligars and Triceratops!!! Why did Kurt have to lie about the gun? Why does my big toe smell........ EWWWWW (how's that for a title?)

2009-02-05T17:39:00.000-08:00

5 bands I would like to see again or just in general

1: Death Cab For Cutie

2: The beatles

3: Muse

4: Switchfoot

5: Radiohead

Today was quite uneventful. I thought it would be more exciting but I didn't do ANYTHING! Well, I had a lesson withthe missionaries but thats it! That was amazing though...... I was supposed to go and shoot some photos with Chuy but he forgot he had church band practice. Then Mckay was supposed to come up here today to practice for his show tomorrow night (I am going because I'm the sound tech, photographer, drum tech and the only roadie) but he couldn't for some reason. And because of the weather I couldn't get anywhere to take a good photo of the day so I apologize for what you are about to see. Love all of you!!!!!

Day 36

Day 35

2009-02-04T16:59:00.000-08:00

5 things I want to do

1: I want to go to college

2: I want to serve a mission

3: I want to continue learning

4: I want to write music for money

5: I want to find somebody to love

Today was VERY tiring. I only had about two hours of sleep. But I was still pretty productive today. I learned a new song, I wrote some lyrics, I worked out a drum part, I got started writing my new EP, I skated and tried to figure out my school situation. My school situation with south sutter isn't going well and I don't think its going to happen. Oh well. I was supposed to go to rehearsal last night apparently but I still can't find where it says for me to go. Oh well. Life is getting a bit down but I pray it will start looking up. And also I may move sometime soon which is very depressing. Hope all is well with you. I love each one of you.
