Monster Truck Show

I know that my parents took me to a show when I was a kid, but unfortunately I didn't quite remember everything about that. So, Amanda and I went see the Monster Trucks last weekend. I was just like a little kid when I walked in there and saw those trucks. I couldn't wait to see what they were going to do.

I was very impressed with the show, with the exception of the "commercials".

Here is what happened:

- Wheelie contest. The trucks went up to a row of three cars, popped up the front end of the truck and gunned it. Which made the back tires spin fast enough to bring the truck into a mad wheelie. AWESOME!
- Race off the line. The trucks would start about 10 feet from the other side of that row of cars. They had a dirt ramp leading up to the cars, so there was no dramatic front end wheelies. Anyway, they raced off a red/green light. Would ever made it over the three cars and across the line first, won.
- Freestyle. Used the entire course in whatever way they wanted to. 60 seconds to impress the crowd.

This guy actually rolled his truck over doing that wheelie. It was awesome! He was still able to compete the rest of the night too.

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!!

FULL ARTICLE!

Please read this article, I think that everyone should be aware of this. Make sure that you read all of the comments at the bottom.

Kristen, make sure that Russell gets a copy to the link. He would love it!

Am I missing something here?

Full Article.

The article is talking about the money loss from the world's billionaires. Some interesting facts about the billionaires..."The collective net worth of this year's 793 billionaires is $2.4 trillion, down $2 trillion from the total wealth of last year's 1,125 billionaires."

This is a clip that I have taken out from the full article (above). This is what I found to be extremely interesting. I have never heard of the person, so I don't know what the situation is. Just read the comment:

"So is there anywhere one can still make a fortune these days? The 38 newcomers offer a few clues. Among the more notable new billionaires are Mexican Joaquín Guzmán Loera, one of the biggest suppliers of cocaine to the U.S."

Soda Restriction - FAILED!

As you know, I had an Energy drink at the begining of February. That was for needs of staying awake and it was something that I could justify with breaking my rules. Since then I have failed again, and again. Another time with driving home from Houston, and time staying up really late while working on something with Justin. And again today. We had a Shaw lunch and there was Coke. I drank some. I could have had water, but I gave up. I am going public with this to let everyone know that I am a failure.
