It was "glorious" for a short period of time: the self-taken photos, the horrible blog writing, being "friends" with all those hot "women", being harassed by bands that sucked and didn't live near you anyway. You had everything Myspace, and you threw it all away. Actually, you kind of sucked from the beginning. I hope Twitter is soon to follow.

My first batch of beer is fermenting as you read this. It's an Oatmeal Stout, although I'll have a better name for it after the official taste test. Instead of going wussy style I decided to step it up a few notches by steeping actual grain and adding real hops to my wort. It was a joy, except for I wasn't properly equipped for stepping it up that many notches.

You've also probably heard about Arizona's new controversial immigration law which apparently the team feels it's denouncing by wearing the "Los Suns" jersey. Now let's pump those brakes.

I've always felt that I was destined to do something that would make a positive difference while I'm on this planet and now I'm trying to make that happen. Often I'm overwhelmed by this feeling and now it's time to listen. Opportunity + Action = Luck.

I'd just like to say that I'm proud to be a fan of the Blazers and I think they played a hell of a season this year considering the amount of injuries they endured. I'm already looking forward to next year, which I'd like to declare will be a championship run, if the whole team stays healthy.http://www.jeremywright.net/2010/05/blazermegalomania.htmlcanowoop@gmail.com (jeremy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378208.post-4156691113644178290Mon, 12 Apr 2010 05:29:00 +00002010-04-11T22:29:04.564-07:00It wasn't pretty, but when the Lakers get beat it's a good day.

I watch, listen, read about every Blazer game, every season. Last night Kristy and I were given tickets to the Blazers v. Mavericks game at the Rose Garden and we were pumped. What took place there however was atrocious, ludicrous, recoculous, outrageous, egregious and downright sad.

He was on his freaking cell phone! Maybe he didn't get the memo about the new law that went into effect on Jan.1st. I almost got a picture, but he bugged out and put his phone down. Lame. I did however issue him an official citation for $90 worth of bad karma.http://www.jeremywright.net/2010/04/citizens-arrest.htmlcanowoop@gmail.com (jeremy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378208.post-5564659737183803137Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:11:00 +00002010-04-02T17:11:00.723-07:00Jason Ramey is a ridiculous man, with a ridiculous plan; to write a novel in a month. This month. To help motivate himself he's peer-pressured several of his friends and even his own wife to join in. I'm totally in. The only problem is I suck at writing.

I'd already dismissed Architecture and I was heavily leaning towards Graphic Design as my desired career path. Since I was a huge band nerd in high school, I'd already signed up for marching band and wanted to play with the low-end concert band for fun.

On March 20th, 2010, the Vernal Equinox, I officially failed my self challenge of not eating ice cream for one full year. I ordered a Terminator Chocolate Shake from The Baghdad Theater McMenamins and it was awesome! What a stupid challenge in the first place. I get it now. I love ice cream and I'm going to eat it whenever I want, including tonight with http://www.jeremywright.net/2010/03/you-scream-we-all-scream.htmlcanowoop@gmail.com (jeremy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378208.post-5518372808284166591Thu, 25 Mar 2010 02:05:00 +00002010-03-24T19:05:38.711-07:00Two words...... Dungeons & Dragons. Could it really be possible?.... yes. I'm not sure when it all started, but it's been a fun and sporadic journey since I created my first character, Brodie. At least I'm not as nerdy as the Dungeon Master. I've pretend lived a hard life. I've seen and done things that nobody should ever have to pretend about.

If not, you're probably cooler than I am but it's this awesomely nerdy card game. I began purchasing Magic cards at RBI's in Salem back when I wasn't driving a car yet and I didn't have a girlfriend (surprise). I used to ride my sweet 10-speed bicycle, often with my partner in crime Erick.

I'll be back at DeWalt tomorrow morning at 8am to save the world one power tool at a time. I was just getting into the groove of what was supposed to be a month long "vacation" due to lack of work.

We've got a better testing system in place and a much better selection this time around, thanks in part to Mitch at Real Soda in Portland.

This is my last full day here in Cancun and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed soon. I've learned many valuable lessons during my week of vacation. I found out that 30 spf doesn't prevent burns to my pasty white skin. Girls actually do go wild here. Mayan people are very short and have large heads.

This is my first post from gorgeous Cancun, Mexico. I don't really know if it's gorgeous or not because it's still dark, but I'm assuming it's gorgeous. The room we're staying in is incredible, and the sea bass I just ate was equally awesome. Kristy is tired from her margarita so I need to go now.

I thought perhaps the "n" had fallen off, but upon closer inspection (as I paced the truck staring at this curiosity) there was no such space available.

As of 3/16/09 I won't be eating any ice cream or soda pop for at least 3 months. During this 3 month period I'll be training to be in the best shape of my life using a program called P90X.

It was great except I was by myself during the day without a car in a part of Seattle I'm not familiar with. Fortunately I brought my Xbox with me to pass away the time, the part that sucks is, I get hungry....

Usually I'd be content in the basement playing video games and dorking out on my computer but I really wanted to eat tacos tonight.

The highlights are as follows: a functioning links page (let me know if I'm missing someone) a music page that serves a purpose. a new intro photo of my awesome dog Tank.
