Never Grow Up

In case you are one of my friends that hasn't already seen this...but if you haven't, chance are you don't read my blog anyway... Anyway, just thought I would post up this video of some events that occured after a great bachelor party at the water park.



Hope you likes it.

I thought I would stick up a video I found that I made some time ago. I am on a study break so I needed a distraction. Check it out...not that bad but still looked cool...



Thats all for now.

one more logo...

I have one more logo idea. I guess I am putting them up here for critisism or praise or just to entertain myself. I think this would look sweet on a black t-shirt.


James Boldt...I made this for you...best I can do for now with the MASH theme.

Wow...I actually failed...

So, as of late, I have been learning much about my self. Mostly about how unaware I am of who I really am. This tends to suck once in a while when you think you are fine then you realize that you are kind of failing and need to change. Part of this was brought to a head today as I failed an exam in school. I got 78%. Not terrible, but not the 80% needed to pass, and not the 90% plus needed to really succeed. What I have been hearing since grade school is, "Kurt does not work up to his full potential." This said usually with some frustration. Well, I think I am back in that mode and now I need to figure out how to change it. I know that I can't give up on the whole air traffic thing as I have so many other things. I used to think I would rather quit than fail. I just realized recently that I used to think that. I think some of that mindset still exists but I need to work at changing that. I intend to change that. I will not fail at this. I used to think I could be confident with answers even if I didn't know if they were right for sure but I am realizing I pull back if I don't know. Now I intend to know the answers and if I don't, everyone will think I do. If I am going to fail, I need to fail knowing I am giving it my all and to this point I honestly don't think I have. I guess I could make a bunch of excuses but my only real reason seems to be a lack of self motivation. I guess you could even call it being lazy. That is not a good place for a 26 year old to be. I don't want to be lazy, I don't want to be a slacker. So, I think I am writing all this so I have something to look at to remind me of my goal of success. I am commiting here and now to get through this. With the love and prayers of the people close to me (especially one...you know who you are...) and maybe the odd hug and some kisses. Either way, I will make it. I guess this has been a little random. I have been inspired by my friend (I call him that but we never hang out cause I suck) Brian to get more of my thoughts out on here. I guess by doing this anyone who reads it can kind of keep me in check. I know, I used to think the whole blog thing was lame, and I kinda still do but I am going to do whatever it takes to have an ATC license and I think getting my thoughts out may be part of the process. Thanks for listening...or reading...or getting bored and skipping to the end of my randomness.

P.S. I love you Kendra. Just thought I would get that in there.

Should be studying,,,

It is amazing what you can accomplish when you should be studying. I am a class 1 procrastinator. Don't get me wrong, I will get a couple hours in tonight but getting there is sometimes so tough. I guess the fact of the matter is I may never learn complete discipline when it comes to this sort of stuff. It is reflected in the cleanliness of my room, car, etc. Either way, I hope I will figure it out before I get married or the special one may kill me. I think I can get it together. Anyway, I am working on designs for a new PLAN-A t-shirt. Let me know what you think. (That is if anyone ever reads this...) Anyway, here we go. Two of these are mine, one is robs. If you have any ideas, feel free to send them my way.



This one is Robs...


I kinda changed robs and called it mine so I guess both could be Robs technically...


Well, thats all I have for now. I may have Pins and t-shirts for sale soon. Tell your friends...

Well, as you can tell my ADD kicked in again and I quickly lost interest in the Van plan. Oh well, on to bigger and better things. Well, ok...maybe not but its a good thought. I am currently up to my ears in ATC training so that is life for now. I just thought I would share this video with you for the time being...

Blew my mind...almost made me cry even. Thats all for now.

What's in the Van Day 2 (Morning)

Well, day 2 of my quest turned out to be quite the adventure so far. I guess I will break the news early this time...I didn't win....Again. Does this mean that I will quit? Does this mean that I will throw in the towel? No sir, not this cat. I mean c'mon, what else am I gonna do this week that is this productive. I am gonna post my pics from the contest today so I can get to the good and entertaining stuff that happened.

I guess will start with the not winning ticket...again.

Then on to the van...pretty location today...

Now. the winner today picked the envelope and not the van...and good thing cause there was a puzzle in the van...I think I would want to keep the rabbit though.
And what did the lucky fellow (obviously NOT me) win? $850 COLD HARD CASH...
Making him quite the happy fellow. (Again, notice how this isn't me!)

Ok, now before I realized that my winning was not happening this morning, even before I got through my lovely Timmys coffee, the event of the day so far happened right in front of me. I was just standing there on the corner of 104st and 109 ave when this '86 or so Dodge Caravan slams into the back of a REALLY nice Jag. Heck of a crash let me tell you. Well, everyone involved seemed fine with the exception of the van and the Jag. Here's my pics of the events that shaped my morning...

Notice that the rear end of the Jag has a nice downward angle now...

Notice the high class plastic and duct tape rear window the van was already showing off before the accident even happened...maybe this lady should stick with the bus.
Edmonton's Finest doing their thing

Well, there you have it. Another day, another not win by me. The van will be at Rexall tonight and so will I. More good things to come.

What's in the Van Man? Week

Hey all, I know no one reads this but I am adding useless info about my life for the first time in just about forever. For those of you that know what I have been up to lately, you know that I am about to start school (again). I am going to be an air traffic controler or at least going to try. Anyway, I find myself with a whole week with nothing to do but study. So I have decided to try and get on to Sonic 102.9's travelling game show...What's in the Van, Man? http://www.radiosonic.fm/contests/index.php?entry=entry060519-112246 Go there if you wanna know about it. So anyway, you get your name in a draw. If you get picked, then you get to pick an envelope of some unknown amount of money or "whats in the van".

So here is a pic of my winning ticket.

Ok, truth is, this ticket did nothing for me today. But I will keep on trying. But the good thing is I have all week and they do this twice a day. Today the girl that won picked what was in the van. Thats good because the envelope has $5.00 in it and the van had a new 30Gig iPod. That could have been mine. Not today. Maybe tomorrow. I guess its still cool cause I scored the obigatory "free radio station promotional stuff...

Other than that here is a couple pics of NOT ME winning...

That's my iPod on that chair and by me I mean the lady in pink in the bottom corner...so...not me at all.

Ohhh...one redeeming thing about the day was this kid. Some parents need to feel cool so they use their kids...
Well, until next time...
