It's Summer and I couldn't be happier

Now I dont mean to piss off anybody who is still in school but damn do I love the fact it is summer. I finished my finals a week ago today and what have I done since? I have hung out, worked, worked out, and had some quality laughs. Take today for example. I slept till 1215 or so, went to the wreck, ran into Bethany and her roommate Mandy and we decided to get some panera after we finished working out, we got panera, and than I chilled otu and Dylan and Ben swung by. Now I am just hanging out before I go to work.

My next paycheck is gonna be over 200 dollars and with the tips I will be making this week I am gonna be so set and on my way to that powerbook it's not even funny. I cant wait to buy that bitch this summer.
Saturday night I started working on my movie idea and I think I may have an entire movies worth of material to scribble down. I only have one taker besides myself to be in the flick. I am gonna need some more of you chumps. So come on throw your hat in the ring.

Here's my top goal for the summer, get in shape. And I dont mean just lose some weight, I mean get toned up along with the weight. I want to get back to 185 and look like I am at it. I am gonna go to the wreck everyday now. I mean I have no excuse not to. I have a class starting next week and work. What else do I have going on? Rock and Roll buckaroos, time for this caddy to shack. peace

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou...

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

Image
I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...

My Favorite Creative

Image
As I type this two drastically different things are happening; I'm in California for a film festival and my mother, Linda Boberg, is lying in a Des Moines hospice bed. In fact she started hospice care the day I flew out here. As you can imagine, I'm experiencing quite the emotional tug of war. When you have a kid you commonly examine where they get certain traits. I've always been able to parse that I get my emotional, empathetic tendencies from my mother and my pragmatic, compartmentalizing skills from my Dad (another raging tug of war at the moment). This list could go on forever, but one thing I've never fully understood is where my creative drive came from. Now with the writing on the wall, it's obvious my mom flipped the creativity switch. It wasn't until my Mom self-published a novel at 65 years old that I understood how creative she is. In the last three years she's self published half a dozen books and written many more. Her first bout of cancer in 2...
