Filephile

So. seeing as i (tyler) am looking for a job, i don't have a ton to do during the day. i post resumes online on company websites. so i started organizing all the video and pictures files from Lake Powell.

So i ask you this. why is it, my favorite video clips are of anyone totally wiping out. i was organizing all the files when melissa walked in with her two brothers and the only videos i ended up showing them was the really bad crashes. we all laughed and stuff. but seriously. (okay, not too serious) why am i fascinated by ABSOLUTE failure in extreme sports. could it be men were not meant to be succesful at extreme sports. seems like most extreme sports were born from two guys that were thinking, how can i make this easier sport... harder but COOLER.

i think thats where jackass the movie comes in. it just skips the creative sport inventing and goes straight for the crashes. i think the only thing that is better than a really good crash is something that really under normal laws of physics should have been a really bad crash, but the "athlete" somehow pulls something out his rear and lands it.

like when tony hawke landed the first 1080. or the first motocross backflip. or danny way clearing the great wall of china. it should not have been done, but somehow they did it.

so without further adue (how does one spell that?) i give you my two favorite crashes. number 2 (the first one you see as you scroll down) is my brother in law joe. he got in the boat after this doosy.


and number 1 goes to marshall kinison with this face reaaranger(man i suck at spelling)

Photos!

K so we thought we would put a few photos up that are kinda fun so you don't have to go searching through the hundreds of photos to find interesting photos. These are just the token photos that most people look for. i wanted to post more.. but picasa only allows me to post 4 which is gay to say the least.

wedding pictures!

okay. so i finally got er done. we have all the wedding pictures online. since we had so many people asking to see them i thought it would be easiest to put it online and just give the address out. don't think anyone cares, but you can order prints if you like and pick em up at your local CVS or Walgreens or Wal mart. here are ALL the photos!

We're BACK! not from the future

So i'm not sure if i alluded to it in my last post. cuz i can't see it from the page that i'm writing on right now. but me and melissa just got back from lake powell with her family and another family that they are really good friends with. seriously... what an event. i never would have thought that the following things would happen.
1. i would help fix a boats engine by removing and replacing faulty spark plugs
2. i would break that same boats towline while trying to get up wakeboarding
3. i would in the process of breaking the towline, compeletly remove the back row of seats on that boat
4. i would do switch while wakeboarding
5. would attempt my first jump wakeboarding and actually think the fall was soft
6. would have to take advil nonstop (6 a day) so i could function during day and sleep at night
7. be showed up by my wife in an extreme sport such as wakeboarding (i'm not being cute, she really did rip me a hole)
8. would be caught in the 75' houseboat as it spun out of control because of dangerous winds almost hitting a gas station (no i wasn't driving)
9. would be on that same houseboat when it ran aground because we were trying to get to the marina at night (again not driving)
10. would be the sole person to run around and find any spot underneath the holds of the boat that could now be leaking water
11. would have to stop the car over 5 times because while said boat was being towed it would fall apart on the highway not matter how many tiedowns we added.
12. would be with my sweetheart the entire time thinking how wonderful life really is

i'm really tired. it's 1am. so i'm going to leave it at that and post videos and pictures of our lake powell trip later. and yes the pictures of the wedding are forthcoming. i promise

We found a house!

so its true. i have no job. melissa has no job. we are without jobs. because of the no job thing, we also have no income. which is somewhat important when it comes to paying for housing, bills, food, that sort of thing. so can you take a wild guess at who is moving in with my parents.

but as missy just told me. it will be great to finally know the Owens'. really spend time with the people and get to know the real them. i on the other hand don't care that much. lived there a lot. lived in provo a lot. just somewhere to put a pillow and sleep. but hey, what can i expect, i have no job.

missy i think has found a job though. interviewing with the employer tomorrow. that should be good. finally have an income! way to go wife! i want one of those job thingy's. and i thought having a B.S. would actually open doors. SIKE!

Married! Now what?

So I'm sitting here on our brand new loveseat enjoying the beach breeze as it blows through our apartment, while I know that Missy is at crate and barrell or target returning stuff or buying stuff to help us finish moving into our apartment. even though according to the landlords the official move in date was june 29th i think. It's not like its a big apartment either. it's a studio. yep, that's right. no bedroom just a living room that we, huh, live in and sleep in.

But in all seriousness it's fun. life is so good! we finally got the pictures of the wedding back. grand total 1,387. stinking too many to flip through. to show our families we put it into a slideshow running at 1 second per picture and the show took more than 10 minutes. ridiculous! ha. so yeah, i'm still looking for a job and so is missy. living off our parents for now. i have a few career opportunities but since the last 2 or 3 haven't worked out as planned i'm not gonna say anything about them so as not to jinx it.

here's a few photos of the wedding!

This one is of the flower girls, Missy, and the Bridesmaids (sisters, and tiffany meredith)

this is of most of the wedding party. chose it cuz my brother carter, the irvine company exec, looks like a goof.

I'll probably post a slideshow of more of the pictures later!
