another tuesday night...

...and another concert that i took pictures at. so anyhow this band was darkest hour, from D.C. they were really good. i know that i am getting old when i leave a show after seeing two bands. it was nice not to pay for the ticket, snap some photos and watch the rest of the set then head home.

really nothing new this week, work didn't start out the way i would have liked, but someone made me realize it really wasn't that bad of a start. oh well i guess i have the rest of the week.
the countdown to the great continent of asia begins tomorrow. paul and i leave on the 16th. i am really looking forward to this trip. i will definitely have updates and pics posted here during the adventure.
i guess i will call it an early night, hope all is well.

five whole days?

wow, so i have been slacking off big time. sunday was my last post! this week has flown by...
first, there was the ice cream (thank you again) a great way to start off the week, except for having a really bad headache.
second was a great work week, learning all kinds of new things
third was mongolian bbq with the parentals
forth, the first concert of the week. and this is where i tell you all about it. well it is 11:48pm on thursday night. i just got home from a great concert, all three bands i was really looking forward to seeing, so it was a fantastic night. these tell it all i guess.

so the show was a blast, i took like 600 pictures now i have to go through and find out which ones to keep. that is my favorite part.

paul plays his show tomorrow night that should be fun.
then it is off to do the payette river on saturday with the family.
so that is all for now i am tired, have to get up in 5 hours.
good night now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is 1:16 pm on this sunday afternoon.

hola everyone, and everywhere.
well just finished cleaning the palatial 750 sq ft apartment of mine. it was tough, but it had to be done. i need to get a maid or something, because it just has become to much. anyhow this weekend was not to exciting. first an update on my hand, the swelling has started to go down a bit, still really sore though. enough of that.
spent some time in caldwell. hung out at tom and sheri's home for a bit, then my aunt jackie came into town with her mom on their way to utah. we went out for some dinner, and it was good to see them. i will see them again later this week for the blaisdell/chambers family reunion.
this morning paul and i went out and took some pictures for his upcoming show at roaring springs on friday for magic 93.1 radio concert. it should be fun. since that water park opened, i have never been there, so after he plays i will hopefully hit all the slides. you can listen to paul's music on the link to the right under the "my peeps" title. he is pretty talented.



so here are some pics from today. so if you don't have plans for friday, you might want to come check his show out. i know most of you are out of town, but for those of you who are here, you should come. well that is about it for now.
boom goes the dynamite

my first trip to the E.R.

hey there. well just got home from the hospital. had an accident at the lake tonight, and thought i broke my left hand (not good, by the way). the hand crank on the trailer went crazy as the boat was backing up in the water, i got distracted and forgot to unhook the damn clip from the nose of the boat, i turned around and the handle slammed onto the top of my hand. it kinda hurt.
so what did i do, did i go to the E.R.? nope, the boat was in the water so we had to go out. got lots of ice for my hand and away we went. after we finished my hand really started to hurt, so i decide to get some x-rays. thought that i would be there in the E.R. for hours but was there only for an hour, so i was happy about that. there were some people who were getting checked out in much worse shape than i was. i will get the bill in about a week, hopefully insurance covers a large sum of the total bill.
was a little nervous about what would happen if i did break my hand, but don't have to worry about it now. but i now have a bonehead story involving the boat. dad and his sunken boat in the mccall harbor, tom and the diesel fuel incident(by far the best story), then me. who is next? hope everyone is well.

...golf, i hate this game

so like i said earlier, played some golf last night on the caldwell muni, had some good shots but for the most part it was pretty bad. to top it off jake norman, who by the way, hadn't played for 7 years beat me. thought i would share this lovely picture of craig, jake and myself on the 9th hole. jake white trashed it from the 3rd hole on. well good night now!!!

what a monday...

well nothing really special happened today. just got home from work and about to go golfing. by the way, the game of golf is kind of frustrating. i have lost golf balls, hit a van, and had some choice words when i shanked the ball. and of course, who was behind us...a couple of little kids when those choice words were spoken. hopefully i can get better, because i have only won one golf bet this year, that is uncalled for.
the new ncaa football game comes out tommorrow, zabransky is on the cover representing boise state. so i am picking that up. i have to get practicing for next years tournament, i want that trophy (see last post).
right now i am listening to a mix of acoustic songs that i put together. one song on there that i have listened to quite a bit is "close" by mick croon(that is what he is going by now), my brother-in-law. great stuff.
candy of the day...lemonheads (thank you very much)
go see ocean's 13, great show, most of you have probably seen it. i am a little behind the times.
now i must go and make a fool of myself on the ol' golf course. until next time...

i guess there is always next year...?

the trophy, winners name is engraved on the back with the year.

dave-oklahoma st.
tom-boise st.
paul-oregon
mike-wisconsin
keith-utah
so i called my shot, i lost. i got greedy. i had the first game against tom, but i like to pass the ball, and should have run the ball. i didn't stick to the mantra that i was taught in my coaching football class at boise state my senior year. if you can establish and control the running game, you will win. (which by the way was my favorite class, and 2 credits! sorry coach vill.)
the first game was fiesta bowl all over again, there were fumbles, late game interceptions and last second desperation plays. in the end, no win for dave, no proposal, and especially no idiot in the background yelling and sticking his mug in the camera shot for 3 minutes during the post game interview. we all saw that guy, if i ever see him on the streets i will have something to say to him!!!! mike and keith duked it out, mike won. he hated his team because he didn't have a scrambling QB. mike, keith, and myself were victims to tom and paul and each lost twice. so the final that will take place today is between tom and paul...boise st. and oregon for the coveted trophy.
we had some people not show up, so their loss. hopefully we can get more people in next year. it was fun, we all yelled a bit, and maybe some choice words were used, so no trophy in boise this year, it stays in caldwell...

the pregame meal, i think paul cleaned up mom and dad

paul and keith

mike and tom

paul and tom

what time is it....game time

well it is almost here, in less than 2 hours ncaa football tournament will begin at casa de blaisdell. craig taylor already backed out he was scared. he had a lame excuse. it should be a grand ol' time. hope all is well. hopefully i will have a picture of me with the trophy. adios

if i had a billion bucks....

i got to thinking at work today about what it would be like to have a billion dollars. i know that money can't buy happiness, but it sure could make things easier. i would buy a house in italy on lake como, watched a show on that place, and it looks like not a bad place to live. so you are all invited to visit when that happens. oh and i would have a lambo, a black one, yes that will do. i guess for now i have to make lots of teeth for that to happen, so dr. tom get busy and get me some work.
speaking of italy, i was looking through old pics and saw this one. this was awesome, tom in all his glory in florence

what tom is wearing is what we got jake norman as his wedding present imported directly from italy, how about that! i think he and erin liked it. hopefully jake can wear it and help his mom in the kitchen now while living in caldwell.
well now, i have a football tournament to prepare for. we will definitaly have a report and have pics from the big event happening tomorrow night in caldwell. i have called my shot, so i have to win now. if i don't i get to hear about it the whole year.
cheers

one long day...

well missed the gym this morning, drove around today for work, it was hot, the a/c couldn't keep up. then got my stuff done, took off for jackson norman's 2nd birthday party. traffic sucked, it was hot, the girl at the snow cone shack doesn't understand the phrase, medium peach/raspberry mix with EXTRA SYRUP! i like my sugar syrup with some ice please. the party was great, drove back to boise, went back to work to finish up the work that i got after i left. now i have to figure out which team i am going to dominate the ncaa football tournament with on friday, because i WILL have that trophy with me when i leave! i might be able to go to sleep after that, i hope.

the birthday boy just hanging out with chicks all over the place

oh by the way, my favorite cd of the year so far, is the gallows. the song abandon ship is absolutely amazing! i have been listening to it non stop, probably on spin number 10 of the album, and i bought it yesterday. a little obsessive...no it is that good.

paul, countdown to hong kong...t-minus 36 days

lazy sunday slowdance

well i don't know where to begin. watched a couple movies, did laundry, and cleaned the apartment. hoping this next week will be a bit busier than last week. i think that is about it. song of the day, john mayer, slowdancing in a burning room. thanks to pauly "the prince of c-town" blaisdell for that cd.

picture time

wanted to put some of my favorite pictures i have taken over the last couple years on here for you all. hope all is well.

random thoughts

my brother dr. tt and i after the nevada game nov. 2006

got to thinking about college football today, i can't wait. got my season tickets, and aug. 30th can't get here quick enough. hopefully the team can step up and fill all those positions. last year was just crazy, maybe we will be in az. again over new years....?

with work i sit most of the day so i listen sports talk radio along with lots of music, just set it to random and go. well i have over 8,000 songs on the thing, and i was thinking of someone today and a particular song came on at that moment that reminded me of this person....well just thought i would share that. it has happened to me twice now. hey there, what's it like in N.Y.C...

just wanted to say thanks to my friend chris for the special blog he made in my honor. i wouldn't have expected anything less from mr. wirshing.

cd of the day: august burns red "messengers"

finally, mom thanks for sending this, i still have a ways to go...

jackson norman after pouring water on himself

hello there...well i figured since everyone else has a blog, i might as well jump on the bandwagon. my first post isn't that special. just celebrated the 4th of july, went to caldwell and was around family and friends. babies were everywhere, here are some pictures of all the little tikes.
