I recorded the music (it’s him playing and singing a song that he wrote) on Christmas night, then made the video the next day with some timelapse shots that I had shot when I was in Portland visiting him a while back and never done anything with. Enjoy! Oh, and here is a link to some of his other music that he has on the internets.
I have been trying (admittedly not at all hard) to figure out how to change this damn home screen on my blog. It’s been two years since I’ve been on a pair of Rossignols, and still I have this same picture of me skiing on them because the back end of this website is so damn convoluted that I can’t even figure out where to start. I thought I could, but I was wrong. I followed all the steps that seemed to make sense, but someone, the someone in particular that build this silly ass site made it extremely difficult for the HTML rookie that is me to figure out. Any ideas? I really want to make it worth the time of everyone that comes across this thing and actually goes through the effort to click into the front door, but I’m having some trouble. I was also having trouble with the fact that motivation has been lacking, and time was even more so. All of these things are changing. I’m still not sure why I even have a blog in the first place… I guess so I can talk about cool stuff. Here goes: I have been doing some cool stuff in life. Kinda cool anyways. In the past six months I have built over 400 pairs of skis, I’ve learned how to weld, I rebuilt an old motorcycle that I bought for $300 and it’s now a fully functional reliable machine, I joined a band and we’ve played a bunch of shows around Salt Lake and Park City and started writing some collective songs that aren’t half bad, and I’ve stared working on some pretty cool ideas and projects that might have the potential to be worth something someday… Now all I have to do is learn how to blog for real. I’ve always had a hard time with it because I feel that it’s a massively narcissistic thing to sit down and write about myself ambiguously to the internet on the assumption that someone out there cares and wants to know all about me. I am going to try something though. I am going to try to talk about the cool things that happen in life for their own sake, not because it’s about me, but because it’s a cool story, one that someone might want to read, and at least then I can remove myself from the context enough to want to write it. Hell, at the very least it will give my brain a little practice using words properly again.
I just went out and bought me a new computer. This is on the tail of not owning one for six months or so after mine was stolen last spring. That said I plan to be more productive in the media realm, with the goal of putting out some edits for myself, and with the 4Frnt crew.
I’m going to make an attempt to at least post photos of the fun things I do..
Hey there world, sorry for the long long pause between things that i have said, but I suppose you’re used to it by now.. I have a legitish reason for it this time though; my computer was stolen from my house, and on that computer were all of my passwords for everything. While I changed almost all of them, I couldn’t remember what this one was until right now when I just happened upon it! Now I’ve got it though, and you can bet that i’ll be writing more often. Granted it’s summer and so probably no one cares, but in any case here I am…
This summer so far I have been developing a couple of new skis, as well as getting everything ready for this summer’s build of the new Renegades. Anyone that has known me for a little bit is thinking exactly what I am: “are you serious?? you’re doing that again??” Yeah, I know, it could be a bad idea. It could be ridden with all of the same problems as it was last summer. It’s possible, I know. I am trying to prove to myself and everyone else though that I have actually learned something from my experiences, and that I can make this time around go much more smoothly, having all of the skis done and out the door before the first sign of snow. In the mean time I have been making a point to learn a lot of new things, and work on new projects to keep my mind moving forward, not just concentrating on one little thing and thinking I’ll learn something..
Rambling.
Anyways. I’ll write something good and real and even add some pictures in a couple days.
Always,
Cody
