“Justincredible“

like playing the guitar

Dancing

Being a ninja

Watching fires

And getting his picture taken

He's a pretty laid back, go with the flow kinda guy.

And im sure your thinking isn't he….well you know…you know…kinda…

.........

And the answer is no….as funny as those pictures are, no. he just really likes to spoon. And actually he has a good little something going on right now with a great little young lady….if I do say so my self…

He's just a great guy to hang out with and be around.

He's that good old country boy.

You always have a good time when you with him.

He'll keep you laughing .

He knows how to play Jenga

He will share his food with you

And he's always looking out for you

So to my bro this is for you. For all the great memories so far. Everything from driving down the road listing to MuteMath in Mississippi at night doing about 95 with the windows down, to scuba class almost being drowned by you, to having fun in the AO parking lot with peoples cars,

He's a nice guy, he's a great guy, he's my friend. But most importantly he's my brother in Christ....

The sign…..

For those of you that go to AO you know about our BIG signs that go on campus. Well Jeff and I thought it would be a good idea to make one for down here……

Making the sign….

What we needed

Wood and tools  

We thought this was pretty funny, but we still took a chance and used it even though we’re not Hawaiian…..

And we worked hard really really hard

Well kinda

Starting to come together

Then it was time to paint….

......

.....

Then spray painting

We we’re mostly making it up as we went, but we we’re happy w/ the end result….well I was since I was spraying. Jeff had to hold the stencils down….lol

And finally after 3 weeks of working on this thing….yes 3 weeks we got it on campus!!!

So we we’re really happy with what it came out looking like. We also went one past AO sign. You see our sign you can take out of the legs and just paint a new one to put in…AO sign you can’t do that…. Anyways what do ya’ll thank about the sign. We have gotten mixed feed back…

Good or Bad?

So I got to go surfing……

I went surfing last weekend and it was great…. I can now say "I can surf!!!" We went out to where a lot of the locals go and made our way in, and much fun was had. When we first got there I thought the waves looked kinda small only to find out that they are much BIGGER when you're out there on them. But along with surfing for the first time, I got to see some whales swimming by about 100 yards out. Super cool!!! It was a great day

ESTABLISHING DOMINANCE

So, yesterday morning..... I finally got my first chance to surf. HECK YEAH!!! I was so incredibly stoked.

I got up at 7am.... (how un-godly is that?) and waited for Shawn to pick me up.

Hodge wanted to sleep in and catch up on his rest..... so, he didn't come. (Pansy)

Well, things were goin alittle slower than expected, so I just walked up to his house and we left around 8 or so.

We got out to where we were goin (I have no idea how to spell it for you, so I won't try) and the water was smooth as glass........and the waves were perfect for learning on. They ranged from 1 1/2 to about 3 feet depending on the set that was rolling in at the time.

Shawn let me borrow his 9' long board (talk about a tank in da water) and it was on!!!!!!!

We paddle out what I would like to call, the "staging zone" were we'd wait on the waves to come.

From there, we'd paddle and try and get enough speed to get in front of the wave and then let it take us........... AND THEN, WE GOT TO PADDLE BACK TO THE STAGING ZONE.......... WHICH SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I can't lie; I think that I fell off that stupid board everyway possible. I fell to the side. I fell backwards as the board launched out from under me. I fell in front of the board (now how I fell in front of a 9' board when I was standing at the very back... I have no clue.... all I can say is that it was talent.) I fell on the board. I fell under the board. I FELL. I FELL ALOT.

And in the course of falling, I got my first battle scar.

And then, about 5 minutes later, I got my second wound from the treacherous ocean coral….. but this time, I wasn't even falling off the board or anything cool like that. I was just trying to get on the stupid thing when my foot slipped and hit some coral…….. talk about gay!

But my day was not unsuccessful; OH NO MY FRIENDS!!! I WOULD HAVE MY VICTORY. I WOULD ESTABLISH DOMINANCE!!!!!!!

I finally caught my first wave.

(ok, so maybe it wasn't this exact one......)

I was picked up by the wave and from there, I decided that the ocean would no longer own me. I would own it. So, I grabbed hold of the wave like a mad man at the end of his pitiful rope. I lassoed it like a sea turtle and held on for dear life.

As my ride came to an end…. I showed off my incredible mainland heritage and began yelling in triumph. "I got it… I got it… It's on now, Baby!..... Woooo-hoooo….. Bring it… Let's go… I GOT YOU… I GOT YOU!!!!!!"

At this…. Shawn was just laughin at me and smiling in approval of my first wave.

We stayed out on the water for another 30-45 mins, and the ocean then resumed its battering and dominance over me.

But this I can now say, "I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED!"
