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.
