Worth A Thousand Words "Andy Arnold"

I went to the tutorial page on how to post pictures, but the screen they showed on the example was not the same as what is on my computer. So I'm putting the pics on my blog (that I haven't updated forever haha).

This first picture is my family's last Christmas photo, that's me on the right. My hair has only been short for 5 days now haha. I chose this picture though because my family is important to me, the most important thing.

This second picture is a picture I took at Colorado Rockies playoff game 3 years ago. I love sports, and am going into sports journalism. I'll always remember this, I flew out from Idaho Falls to Denver and met up with my older brother. I'm from Wyoming and grew up going to Rockies games and had never been to a game as packed and intense as this one. Rockies won this game and we went crazy haha.

My last picture is a picture of the Tetons I took a few weeks ago. I chose this picture for two reasons, one is because I love nature, I go hiking in the mountains in Wyoming as often as I can. Second reason I chose this is because I've also tried to take more pictures of nature the past few years, I'm doing a Photography cluster.

So that's me, in three pictures.

Favorite songs of 2009

I just copy and pasted this from my facebook, I'm lazy, so what haha

I was thinking about making a Top 10 list of my favorite songs from 09 and then my buddy C-Bass did it, looked like fun so I decided to go through with it haha.

10. Anberlin - Baby Please Come Home- This was my Christmas song this year, listened to it a ton around the holidays. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg_NtRN0-8E

9. The Mars Volta - With Twilight As My Guide- This was my stargazing song, nothing like listening to these guys while watching a meteor shower haha. The Mars Volta is awesome, they pretty much have their own genre in music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Mx1K2a4KQ

8. Weezer - The Underdogs- This song is off of Weezer's newest cd that recently came out. I love it, Rivers is the man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz9mpWMB4aQ

7. LIGHTS - Saviour- This whole album is really good, something about her voice, I like it haha. Ok, she's good looking too, but her music is good too. One of my biggest regrets of 09 was not seeing her in concert when I could have, dangit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9jtaWVkNn0

6. Jay-Z - Young Forever ft. Mr. Hudson- When I listen to Jay-Z's newest album on Rhapsody before it was released, this song stuck out to me the most. I love how smooth and chill he is in this song, and the chorus is catchy haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z1iC94MDgM

5. Mastodon-The Czar- So this album blew my mind when I listened to it the first time, I love it when that happens haha. This song is so awesome, you have to listen to the whole thing. It's a long song but awesome. My favorite part starts right before 8 minutes in, so rad!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Vf5syTfmE

4. fun. - The Gambler- First hearing this song on the album it was really awesome. But then seeing fun. in concert, this song was AMAZING! You can tell it means a lot to Nate. I love how much into it he gets into it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIL8ejMden4

3. Muse - Undisclosed Desires- Off of their new cd, this was the song that grabbed me the most. Sweet song to cruise to. The chick in the music video is kinda freaky though haha.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OOWcsFj0U&feature=fvst

2. Manchester Orchestra - I've Got Friends- Something about this song, I like it a lot. The music video is pretty sweet too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuixT3IGClY

1. fun. - Be Calm- First track on Aim and Ignite, when it was released I listened to this song first and my mind was blown once again. My favorite song off of an amazing album. Good message too, when I get stressed I listen to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qMXBUjm8tM

So there you have it my favorites of the year. "If you don't like it, you can shove it. But you don't like it, you love it!" haha
