The One Show Report About Jehovah’s Witneses - The funniest home videos are here

Dubstep has been my music of choice for the last year ot two. It’s not something that anyone I know is into, or likely even has heard of. But to me, it’s some of the best music I’ve ever heard. This is a shining example of some killer dubstep that is a bit more accessible, and that most people can probably appreciate. If you want to listen to more try these:

This is literally on the corner of my block. Nice.

This is a high quality video of my visit to the ER in Mammoth. WARNING: It’s very graphic.

That was the question I asked Josh, as he was inspecting my leg.

“It’s probably going to need a few, yeah” was his reply…. Yeah, right. Just a few…

Is there a worm on my leg?

We were traversing the Dragon’s Tail in Mammoth. Myself, Josh and Khristian. I suggested we go all the way to the tail, because that it my favorite part of the mountain. It usually has the deepest snow, and the least amount of traffic, because it’s not easy to get to. There is a little bit of a valley you have to get across, and Josh said he didn’t want to hike.

‘What are you talking about? I never hike. You just have to bomb it and keep up your speed.”

And bomb it I did. I was trucking, making split-second decisions on which path to take, as there were several forks. You are basically on a single-track, up, down and around trees. It’s a bit of a roller-coaster ride, with no time to stop and think about it. You just have to go, soak up the bumps make the turns, duck under tree branches, and if you are successful you can make it to the powder mother lode.

Khristian captured a funnel cloud over San Clemente / Dana Point, and sent it in to the OC Register. They then published in on their website along with a story of the storm.

Apocalyptica - Metallica’s One

Apocalyptica - Bittersweet live, from their life burns DVD

Finnish cello band Apocalyptica played the House of Blues in Anaheim last night. I only recently started listening to them, and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I figured at the very least it would be an entertaining show.

They were incredible. These guys are are true musicians and they put on an amazing show. I highly recommend taking a look.

We had a large group head up to Monterey this year, which made it much more fun than when I rode up there by myself last year! Included in this years trip were Me, Gary (Dad), Robert, Donell, Bruce, Steve, Ryan and Phil. Also Khristian and Lake rode the train up.

The ride up was probably the most fun of any I have done yet. I made an effort to string together the best bits of all the rides I’ve done in the past.

Bottled Water Quality Investigation: 10 Major Brands, 38 Pollutants | Environmental Working Group

Bottled water:
is not better.
is ridiculously priced.
is bad for the environment.

Buy a filter.
Buy a reusable bottle.

Some interesting excerpts from the above article:

“The environmental impacts associated with bottled water production and distribution aggravate the nation’s water quality problems rather than contributing to their solution.”

“Water bottle production in the U.S. uses 1.5 million barrels of oil per every year, according to a U.S. Conference of Mayors’ resolution passed in 2007, enough energy to power 250,000 homes or fuel 100,000 cars for a year US Mayors 2007.”

“Consumers should drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water. Americans pay an average of two-tenths of a cent per gallon to drink water from the tap. A carbon filter at the tap or in a pitcher costs a manageable $0.31 per gallon (12 times lower than the typical cost of bottled water), and removes many of the contaminants found in public tap water supplies.”
