Traveling again/Women for taller men/Utah vs. BYU Tixs/Neck Ties

So I'm leaving for New Orleans in the morning, and in style, riding 1st class, baby!! I love the Big Easy, the food, culture, music and history. I wanted to live there but Katrina thought it was a better idea I didn't. I haven't been there since so it will be interesting to see how things are now.

An Observation
While visiting some friends the topic of our preferences for the opposite sex was brought up and it seemed unanimous among the women in the group that they prefer taller (above 5'10) blond men. That seems to be the commonality here in SLC. Just means us shorter men (I'm 5'8) with darker hair have to try harder!
On the other hand, I'm not one for taller women. To be honest, that's my top preference, that she be as tall or shorter than I am. Can't be like Tom Cruise here.

After the Utah vs. TCU game, Marlon and Miguel had a great idea to wait in line and camp out to get tickets to the Utah BYU game. They even told us about it and we decided to join them camping on in line to get some tickets as well. We were the 4th tent from the front of the line that wrapped around the stadium and into the parking lot. Some of our group members even ended up in the newspaper (LtoR Marlon Brando, K-Rock and Ti Lo).

Here's a video of the line camp-out. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=4743261

And lastly,
Why is it that the tag in the back of my ties always become loose? Even on my expensive ties.
Just a random though, actually nothing more to add there.

Wombat!

A New Direction

Our beloved country elected their next President last night and finally I believe we realized how historically important this election was. I support Obama and believe he will change not only the political views and path of this country but it is also a huge step for this country's belief in itself as a free and fair country. Free from discrimination, and from racism, free to be an American regardles of social status or color of skin. I love being American and look forward to a bright future!

What's new?

In my personal opinion, changes are necessary and are going to be a part of life regardless of what you think or do. It's our responsibility to accept and adapt to these changes. Sorry to get so corny but it's something I've always believed but I'm coming to the conclusion that it would be better to adapt and accept before the change forces you to do so.

With that said, what's new?
Well, I'm still traveling for work and have been to some great places (Mexico, Alaska, Boston, Seattle and Chicago to name a few). Still living in SLC and loving it here. Great house, good friends and low cost of living along with a developing sense of outdoor activities and snowboarding (coming real soon!) is what keeps me here in the Beehive state. Still trying to figure out what is the next step, more on that later.

Finally finding a Barber and My Problem with G and A....

My Dear Ninjas,

To start off, I like to think that there are only two things that I am very very picky about. #1 (and perhaps most important) None, and by none I mean not even as a garnish, of my food can contain Guacamole or Avocado! I was getting sick to my stomach just typing those words. I really don't know where my obsession with G and A (as I will refer to it since I cannot stomach typing those words again) elimination began but I have an idea of when I first became alert with it. I remember being at the daycare sometime around the age of 3 or 4 and remembering one of the employees devouring some G or A and ordering us around at the same time. I remember her talking with her mouth full and some of it on her lips and around her mouth. I also vividly remember that one of my nannies used to force-feed me G or A till I threw up on her and was sick for a few days. If my memory serves me well, I believe she was fired shortly after. But her image is forever scared in my memory, her sitting there very obese, with a stranger odor and attempting to shove.... I'll stop there.
#2 I haven't been on top of it since I moved to Salt Lake City but when I do get a haircut and a shave at a barber shop I expect perfection! I got that today. I didn't ask for a difficult haircut or an in depth conversation while the procedure was being performed (Oh yes for me it's a procedure). I asked for my preferred haircut and that's what I got. Also just to make my experience even better we had a great conversation, my barber and I. What a great feeling! Therefore I think I will go back to the schedule I had back home of going ever other week for a cut and a shave.

AL D Out.

In The Beginning

There was a Wombat Warrior... Nah I'm just playing. So I was reading Evan's blog which led me to read, Marlon's, then Kristjan's and Adam's and Dana's (Let me know if there is more out there) and I was inspired to start one myself. So this is my blog and it's mainly just so I can share thoughts and events. Comments are welcome and hope you guys enjoy.

By the way, Ninjas excellent job on the blogs!!!
