The Six Billion Dollar Experiment

Although my education is more centered around the humanities, I have always been a major science buff. Many years have passed since my discover of this machine, and now it's about to come online. The Large Hardon Collider (LHC) built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is the largest, most expensive machine ever built. With a circumference of 27km, It works by spinning two beams of protons, nearly at the speed of light, in opposite directions and smashing them together. The result will be a discover not yet known to scientist, recreating the environment 1/billionth of a second after the big bang. They're are looking for the fundamental elements of the universe, especially for what makes some energy contain mass. However, some are concerned w/ the possibility of creating black holes or recreating the big bang, but the scientist at CERN assure us that the possibility is highly remote.

I am going to be in France when the LHC comes online. Hopefully I can take the train over to see this monumental leap in physics!

Sammy Carlson @ Mt. Hood.

I've know Sammy Carlson since he was 10 years old back in 2000. Every weekend I come off the mountain to Mt. Hood's Cascade Ski Club located in Govt Camp, OR and there would be this lil mighty mighty set up rails outside his parents cabin. Even then his one goal was to be a pro-skier, but cant say I believed him then. All of sudden he was throwing backflips off cliffs, switchin up rails, and gaining bigger and bigger sponsorships. Then in spring/summer 03' at Mt. Hood Timberline's pro-park, Sammy was the only guy throwing 1080s off a jump known as the 'tree gap' and since then 'the sky's the limit.' Now Sammy is one of the top pros out there, taking X-Games silver, got the top sponsors, and I heard rumor that last season he made his first million. So this is my tribute to you lil man. Say "whats up?" to your sister for me.

Most Insane Video! Wingsuit Base Jumping!

This video was featured in a ski movie by Matchstick Productions titled "Seven Sunny Days." A guy created new way to sky dive a couple years back using a 'wingsuit' which allows far more maneuverability. Now they're using them to base jump. Check this video out.

MF Doom & Madlib are Madvillain

"I'm sick of that fake thug r&b rap scenario all day on the radio.
Same scenes in the video, minatamis material.
Yall dont hear me though ." -Dead Prez

Anyone who spent anytime w/ me knows that I'm a huge hip-hop buff. I don't really care for radio hyped music what so ever, especially most of that uncle tom pop rap crap thats so predominant and played out in our culture. So since I pick up this album, I've been playing it non stop. Coming from the hip hop masters, MF Doom and Madlib, Madvillany drops dope beats and lyrics cover to cover. If you havent heard this album, make sure you pick it up along w/ the artists' other projects and alter egos.

BlogTastic

So this is the beginning of my blog. Been thinking about having one for a while now. I dont want to be so vain to just talk about myself and boast about my modeling career. So I hope to post about all the things that I find dope. Including: music, culture, science, extreme sports, traveling, family/friends, and of course fashion. I hope you enjoy and post plenty of comments.
