the tragedy of seeing something as breathtakingly beautiful as i saw today is not being able to make others understand how unbelievable it really was. this shitty pasted together bunch of iphone photos doesnt come close to conveying the sense of awe that the horribly named “lake 22″ hike instilled in me today. you cant see the 10-15 water falls running down the rock face, or smell the freshest air ive breathed in months, you cant feel the tranquility of realizing you dont hear a single sound originating from a human being or man made object. and to think we were about to give up on this trail when we were right around the corner from this spot. i fall more in love with this city every year.

a group of scientists in europe have built and are going to be switching on a machine that could potentially open a black hole on this planet. the large hadron collider (LHC) is the largest device of its type ever constructed and will send protons speeding around its 17 mile circumference eventually smashing them together to simulate the big bang. thats right, theres a group of people out there who think its reasonable to try to simulate a explosion so fucking huge that it supposedly created the universe. besides a cataclysmic explosion and a black hole there is a chance the machine will turn all nuclei in the planet to strange matter. sorry dudes but even the smallest possibility of any one of these fucking things happening should be enough to deter you from turning this thing on. science needs to stop being about “can we?” and more about “should we?”

believe it or not this little terror is supposed to be steve nash. dude needs to get his people moving on the recall tip quick. absolutely terrifying.

if anyone has any idea how these fucking pieces fit together let the f.c. kids know because theyre just about ready to blow their brains out.

this sign pretty much sums up the horror that is las vegas. evil aside, magic was still a pretty good time. highlights include:

“give me HOOOOTTTTT!!!”

“so shitty when get balls on da table”

i dont expect any of you to get what either of those mean. you really had to be there. thanks to the kicks/hi fam for hanging tough.

looks like a good time was had by all. thanks to steve, mike and everyone else who made this happen.

nap time in the fc office.

new orleans+new years eve+hawaiians=total chaos.
