Hey Gang,
Just a little update... I am still working at Convergys for Bank of America. I was recently promoted from a phone agent to a training coach. It isn't a pay raise but it opens a lot of opportunities for me. While I don't plan on working for Convergys for the rest of my life, until I can figure out getting back into school or getting back on at the hospital it is a good job. I am in charge of my own team that changes every week I take on the agents for their first week in On the Job Training. They are fresh out of the classroom and haven't taken phone calls so they are really nervous. It is really helping to develop my people skills. I enjoy it and it is rewarding when my team performs well. Other than that I don't do much I hang out with Misty and go to all of her shows. I can't wait until she finishes recording her album so I can get you all copies. I seriously believe that her music is going to take her places if any of you use my space you can look her up and lisen to the songs she has posted. It is under Misty River Music. If not You will have to wait until the grand realease of her debut album. I miss you all and I look forward to seeing you all very soon :) Much Love

I updated before you told me too!!!


Hey there family :) I just thought I would update my blog. I am doing pretty well. Still working at Convergys although they switched my project and I work for Bank of America instead of Albertsons. I have been in training for a couple of weeks and I have 3 and a half weeks to go. "BORING" I did hear through my little friend network that the hospital is hiring again for my old position so I called up my old boss and he is supposed to give me a call tomorrow. I would be the happiest person alive if I could get that job back and you better believe I won't be screwing it up this time!! Other than that I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Misty's music has really been taking off so I have been enjoying her shows and helping her out in anyway I can mostly I make a good audience but I have also tried my hand at photography. It is really hit and miss and I think it is more luck than talent when I get a good shot but here is my favorite one. She is really amazing and soon she will have an album out and you all will be able to hear what I have been ranting and raving about :)
So I hope everyone is doing well I haven't seen anyone for a while and I am starting to feel disconnected but hopefully I will see you all this Sunday at Paul James b-day!! I love you all.

Well still not much going on. I have decided to go back to school. Now that I have cleaned up and I am starting to get bored :) I don't do much I go to work and I come home and write poems. I have been going to open mics at coffee shops lately. Misty has started playing her music out and about and I just follow her around. She has a show on August 22 at 7 pm at a little coffee shop next to the community college called Baxter's. It is about 1700 and State Street. I am excited for that. She sings very positive songs about world peace, love, and hope. I just want every one to know how important she is to me. She has given me a safe place to stay so I could sober up and get my life back under control. She is always trying to help me further myself. We don't always get along but I love her and I consider her family. I haven't written anything good lately or I would share a poem with you but soon I will. I have a few pieces that are in the works. I do have a poem that was published in a book that was used to raise funds for my favorite coffee shop that was having finacial difficulties. But I don't have it with me right now sorry. They have decided to terminate the project I work for here at Convergys but they have a few other opportunities so I won't be without work. I think I will be working for Bank of America as of September 2. I hope every one is doing well and I love you all.

This is what I do lately




Allright family... I haven't been doing much lately I plan on going back to school in the fall. Until then I am working at the coffee shop and enjoying my time off. I spend most of my time with my girlfriend Misty she is a good girl she doesn't drink or do drugs and has been an amazing influence on my life. That is her in the top picture. I do a lot of work for the Salt City Kings still it has been busy lately. That photo is from our Rape Recovery show which we raised $4300.00 for the Salt Lake City Rape Recovery Center! I love it it makes me feel so good to know I am giving back to the community. The fuzzy guy is my cat Teague he is my pride and joy and the man of the house! All of our other pets are females. The photo of me is the most recent althoug my mohawk is no longer blonde I tried to dye it black and it went this funky purple color. I will be fixing that hopefully tonight :) I miss my siblings really bad and my neices and nephews even more. We need to get together sometime so I can hangout with you all. my weekends are ussually booked with shows and meetings and practice but i have random days off during the week so keep in touch and let me know when I can see you all. Much Love!!!

So this is what I do...



Ok I know it looks strange but this is me performing at my last show. We were doing a benefit for a young man who was chosen by his school as an ambassador to go to Washington DC. His mother is a single working mother and couldn't afford the trip for him. We ended up raising $900 so he can get there and have some fun as well. I really love doing this although I get so nervous before every show!!! This Friday I am performing 2 numbers a group number and a duet with one of the brothers from the group. We are hoping to raise more than $3000 for the Rape Recovery Center of Salt Lake. This is a resource for women who have been not only sexually abused but abused in any kind of way. They offer a safehouse and counseling and assistance getting families back on there feet. LIke I said I love what I do I may have to hang out in a bar for the night but the ends definitely justifies the means!!!

Other than all of this I am currently working at Beans and Brews on 900 East and 500 South right by my house. I have 5 more months until I can get my job back at the hospital and you'd better believe I am going to do it :) I hope every one is well keep posting pics of my prescious Nephews and Nieces I love to see them. And Jessic aget a frikkin blog already LOL!!

Love you all and I will keep you updated :)

OK! OK! I will update


Ok, still not much going on my life. I have been just concentrating on working and trying to get out of debt. I did help save a life today!! It was pretty awesome we had a patient code (for those of you not savvy to medical lingo they went into cardiac arrest) The patient had just had a Thyroidectomy and was doing just fine and moved to recovery when all of the sudden they presented a huge hemotoma and started bleeding out. I just happened to be in the recovery unit when all this happened and was the go to person for everything they needed. I ran around like crazy for about 20 minutes until the patient was stable enough to go back to the operating room. I helped out for a bout 30 more minutes in the room until everything was stable and under control. I have to tell you it was quite a rush. I know why my brother David loves his job it feels great knowing that you have helped save a life.

Needless to say that is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a while. I hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to hear from you.

So not much is going on in my life still. I am just working hard trying to get out keep my head above water. Right before Christmas Meg and I went up to Mantua to help Dad and Paula paint their hallway. Sunday Dad let us take out the four wheeler and I showed Meg the best parts of Mantua. She loved it normally she hates winter and I showed her that you can have fun no matter the weather :) I miss you all and I love you all keep in touch.
