UTAH

Earlier this week I got to go do a NatPkg in Utah. It is really rare to do a NatPkg here, so I was excited.

Until that is....I had to drive four hours each way. Plus turn the story for the 6 p.m. show.

The story didn't turn out that great, but at least I was able to see Zion National Park. It was amazing. You should go if you haven't been.

Hating Life

Rob enjoys his new Oregon swag.

He has given up his Sooner pride and splurged on some new yellow crocs and a green sweatshirt.

He says everything is "ducktastic."

I think it's a cry for help.

EL GUAPO'S UNCLE

Why did I ever leave? Why?

Wedding Party

My best friend just got married. It was really cool to see that we are all growing up. From right to left: Groomsmen Devin and Matt, Groom Nick, Bestman Kash, and Bride's brother Andrew. We all had a great time. I wish him the best of luck.



Here is the lucky man with his beautiful bride Elena

Dudes Night Out

WOOOO HOOOOO BACHELOR PARTY!

These guys are rollin' hard in a sweet ass Hummer Limo for my best friend's final weekend as a free man. He's the one third from the right, standing behind the guy in the yellowish-green shirt. (Nick)

I don't remember much after this photo was taken, but I took a ton of pictures to at least help me. I'll be posting all the photos so you can see.

Plus any wedding pics. It's tommorow

STUCK IN A BAY

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HELL THIS PICTURE IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT...

...OTHER THAN HOW BORING AND SHITTY IT IS TO BE STUCK IN AN EDIT BAY...ON CRUTCHES.

Rubber people

Kind of reminds me of a Led Zepplin album cover

SAT-urday

Well.....while you all were having FUN at the Oregon Duck game.....and chumming it up about the good 'ole days, I had to work my ass off all weekend.

I was on my first satellite live shot at the Hoover Dam this pass weekend. Some giant interstate building crane fell down causing a major road closure. I had a extra technican to do all the satellite stuff, BUT now the newsroom sees that I can be useful in the future. So I'm going to get trained on the SAT trucks.

More knowledge.....means more responsiblity.......means more work. It's a good thing that my whole live is television.

Old crew

It was nice to be back.
You should have been there, Dusty.

LAST DAY

TODAY IS MY LAST DAY RECOVERING AT HOME.
AND, AS UNEXCITED AS I AM ABOUT GOING BACK TO WORK, IT'S PROBABLY TIME FOR ME TO PUT DOWN THE PSP, AND GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

LOOK AT THIS RIDICULOUS FREAKING SCORE!

THINK I'VE BEEN PLAYING A BIT TOO MUCH?
UM, YEAH.

GO NINERS!

I was in Ellensburg, WA a few weeks ago. I went to a concert at the Gorge, but the night before I got wasted in a small town bar and made some friends. This is one of them. His name is Marcus, and he's was slightly familar to someone else I know. Even down to the Chicago hat.

you blow in a tube and the higher your blood alcohal level, the faster it spins.

Fire Dancer

This is Harmony. She was one of my camp mates and a hell of a fire dancer. Sorry Guapo some of us have to pick up the slack while your on vacation.

Fire

When the sun goes down at black rock city. The art cars come out to play. Most shoot fire. Lots of fire. More art cars and fire to come.

SIGHTINGS!!!

Like the Yeti of lore, there has been many rumored appearences of the elusive Berk. The villagers tell stories of the Berk mysteriously traveling from newsroom to newsroom. Never seen in the same place twice, always looking for more highlights to front.
Look at this artist rendering of what the Berk may look like.

Many say that they have seen the Berk near watering holes, but no trace is ever recovered when others return to that very same location. All that is ever left is a clinging odor and a sense of being watched.

Could that be the Berk over there in the news director's office?

Is it aware of my presence? The Berk always seems to disappear when one tries to get a closer look.

Could this be the cavern of which the Berk lives?

Unsure of a possible escape route inside in case the Berk spots and attacks, this photog is not daring enough to find out. Although I pledge my live that I will someday find concrete evidence of the true existence to the Berk. Rest assure that one day when that photo is taken you all will be the first to know about it.

THE BURNERS ARE BACK JOTO'S!!!!

TAPEY, EMILY AND ME SAW THE FREAKIN WORM IN THE WASTELAND AND IT WAS AWSOME!!! ONE NEW PIC A DAY OF BURNING MAN FUN. THERE ARE AROUND 350 SO THATS ABOUT A YEARS WORTH. DON'T CALL. NONE OF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MINUTES FOR ME TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING. HAVE FUN WITH THE PICS. I SURE AS HELL DID.

WELCOME ABOARD

1 YEAR LATER...

THE MRS. AND I ARE CELEBRATING OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEKEND.

WE STAYED AT A BED & BREAKFAST IN FLORENCE LAST NIGHT.

THIS WAS TOSH'S CREATION.

Go Pokes

I love college football.

I love the game, sure. But I really love the whole spectacle. The student section, the cheers, the band, the tradition.

And I can't wait for the Gophers to get an outdoor stadium like this one.



Perfect night for a game.
