byub part 2

so, it was taking forever. here is the second part of the byub post.

week 2: sea wolf - leaves in the river - leaves in the river

this one is about the leaves changing colors

i had to dumb down the quality so that it would fit.  other than that i am all ears for your suggestions.

John Holman is...

off  and on life, forever!

i have decided to get rid of my facebook account and get on with my life.  it is a social networking site that doesn't socially network me with anyone.  i also believe that you just update it with pictures but you do not get the stories behind the pictures so i have decided to get back to my roots in the blogging world and hook it up.  i am going to be updating this regularly and sending out an email letting people know that it is updated.  and i am going to try and give you as much of the story of my life that i can so that we can really be involved in each others lives and bring it back home so, 'i choo choo choose you':

p.s. if you have a blog give me the address so that i can keep up with you as well.  loves.

body art

wow.  this last weekend was awesome.  i made it on tv during a volleyball game and then saturday i went up to salt lake to see a friend that was long overdue.

we went to a little exhibit called 'body worlds 3'.  here are some pictures of what we saw:

i am super glad that i went and michelle and i were blown away by the amazing ability to extract all the different pieces of the body.  so dope.  i actually came away with a bigger and better testimony of the creative power and also of the body as a work of art set here by god.  it was truly amazing and i recommend it to anyone that is contemplating going to it, do it you will not be disappointed.

after the exhibit we went and picked up katie and then headed off to the pie pizzeria for some delicious food after looking at cadavers all night long.  it was delicious as always and well worth it to spend time with those girls and here some sweet jams like 'my michelle' by guns and roses, 'last dance with mary jane' by tom petty and the heartbreakers and then 'in the air tonight' by phil collins.

after the pie we relaxed and let our food digest over one of the greatest movies of all time.  'so get off your ath let's do some math'.  yep you guessed it 'school of rock'

scoot scoot

there i finally did it!  i got a freaking scooter and just in time for winter!  i have it all registered and am loving every second of it.  no matter the weather (unless dangerous) i am going to ride this puppy.  it is so fun.  i am glad that i got it and am really excited to ride it until it poops out on me.  i got a genuine buddy 125.  after registration and a few things for the scooter itself i am happy with where it is and am looking forward to riding it all over the world.  and by world i mean states.  and by states i mean the streets by where i live.  no freeway with this little guy.

here is a picture.

special thanks to toast for making it all happen.  i love you.

byub

i have had the opportunity to work at byub for a few years now and i just thought i would post a few things that i have done.  i have also worked on some commercials but they have not been finished yet but i will post them when they are done.  please leave me some feedback on these minute pieces and let me know what you think of them.  the edit is simple but any feedback would be loved.

week 1: the album leaf - into the blue again - the light

this one is on the buildings on campus and how they inspire us (or something like that)

4 years later

so every time i think about my oldest brothers birthday i cannot help but think of my return home from the mission.  in this next post i will take you down photo lane for the last four years that have passed since my return home to the united states of america (in no particular order):

snowboarding and sundance and photos. yeah!

although these photos didn't win the contest they were worth every footstep and jump to get them just right (2007).

weddings:  this is of greg and jacqui.  how i love them and their daughter anberlin.  they are amazing and i look forward to anytime that i can spend with them and in boise.  loves. (2006)

more snowboarding, this one is of zack, greg and i.  i loved riding with these guys because they pushed me and i feel like i learned a lot and advanced in my boarding because of them. (2007)

all in all that was an amazing ride and i would not change anything for it.  it has made me who i am and finding new friends and keeping old ones were awesome.  i hope that you were able to remember some of those things if you were there at the locales.  thank you to everyone i have interacted with in the past four years.  i love you and send my love to your families as well.  oh, and here are a few nuggets pulled from the vault.

zack, you remember this?
