Before you die...

Heres a couple things you should do.
I'll post like 10 things you need to do before you die every time I blog until I run out of ideas/resources. First, here are things that I have been fortunate enough to do/plan to do in the near future in my life.
10. Longboard in huge 6 story plus parking garages, but stay injury free. (I wasn't able to do the last part, but I'm betting that would have been more fun)
9. Attend Iceland's biggest festival in the Westman Islands. And catch a couple of puffins.
8. Scuba dive. You seriously have not lived until you've breathed underwater.
7. Go to Europe with your best friends.
6. Attend a wedding in India, every single ceremony. (Want pictures of the recent one I attended? http://s385.photobucket.com/albums/oo296/aaliagalveston/India2010/)
5. Have a really cool pet. Be it truffles, or a bunny rabbit, or a snake.

Clockwise from left: Matt (bestfriend) and Truffles, My rabbit that I share with other bestfriend Jeremy, and beaufriend Katya with her sand boa (RIP). Matt and Jeremy don't have twitters or blogs, but if they did I would plug them here, and they should, bc they are extremely entertaining fantastic humorous people. But for jeremy's sake, check out the Today Show skits on SNL. And for Matt, check out anything lolcat related, or LOLEngrish.
4. Surf.
3. Parasail.
2. Go on a cruise.
1. See an aquarium. I mean really see it. The inner workings of one. Volunteer or do a marine biologist for a day program or something.

Congratulations to KATYA for getting accepted to Claremont McKenna. She will rock California's world. And date John Mayer. Send her love at www.twitter.com/katyatothemax OR www.katyatothemax.blogspot.com
And to KEVIN for successfully asking Mika Tabata, resident Homecoming Queen, to PROM. Video coming later :)


Oh hey! Especially to GWEN PARKER. Follow her at www.twitter.com/glenda14 She's got a shit ton of wit/fun. And also, add her as a facebook friend. She could use some more. Here's a picture of her, if you aren't already convinced.

ITS WILD WEDNESDAY
Every Wednesday I try to have some sort of encounter with a completely wild, exotic animal. Here is todays.

I know, it's pretty crazy adventurous ballsy of me to have this beast hurtling at my face. But what can I say, the crazy adventurous ballsy things in life strike my fancy.

Here I will interject some other things that are happening in the world instead of my life and then go back to my life to spice it up!

Okay read this and feel really bad because its the most horrible thing ever.
A super valuable and prized source in my life told me the UN lifted the ban on fishing for spiny dogfish (meh), scallop head sharks, and whitetips! Say it isn't so!!!! How can you eat such majestic creatures. Says a friend from Palau "I'm sure bald eagles would be delish when prepared right, but you don't feel right eating those. Same goes for the graceful predators of the deep!" Amen my friend, let's keep these water eagles off of our plates!

Also if you all care enough to comment, comments are labeled as 'adventures' and I don't know how to change it back. What I'm really saying is comment, so I can feel better about myself.

Last but not least.
Check out this TIGHT website called
www.couchsurfing.com
Basically its a website for college age kids that travel everywhere looking for a couch to crash on. People around the world with an extra room/couch offer it up for a couple days to backpackers etc and its totally awesome. It takes a while for you to get started/get good reviews but after that its freaking amazing.

Wreck this wonderful Wednesday, weaklings.

Here goes everything!



Happy Monday back from Spring Break! This picture basically captured my spring break, with the exception of a late night ER trip and a journey to the frigid but fantastic beach that literally had one lucky fellow turning blue.

Another reason why I love Texas, here is my favorite headline of the day
"Texas congressman admits yelling 'baby
killer'"

Since I hereby proclaim, (with the aid of Andy Schaafs) all Mondays Music Mondays, here is my selection for the week.
Black Sunshine by my personal friend (facebook counts, right?) Neon Hitch.

YouTube video of the week that I absolutely adore:

His name is Jimmy and he's an absolute gem. I don't really know what he's talking about, but does it matter?

If you missed LiFE!, a wonderful television spectacle that is mediocrely narrated by Miss Winfrey, check out ...
- the strawberry poison dart frog that goes to extreme lengths to ensure species survival, carrying each tadpole to its own personal bromeliad pool hopping over half a mile.
- the tongue of the panther chameleon, nothing else about it, just its tongue.
- the stalk - eyed flies. actually its too MINDBOGGLING to explain, watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGX7zZk0Eo4
I wish the orcas ate the seal, and the mud ring bottlenoses are the craftiest bastards I ever did see.

OMG I almost forgot. This summer, the rosy-cheeked smatthew and I are going to the Westman Islands. What are the Westman Islands you might ask? Well I might reply with a few choice words, that if said together very quickly, will give you an ever accurate description of the destination.
