Way to look classy Kings of Leon...NOT. You guys made fools of yourselves. You don't win record of the year and get up there and say you're drunk. Idiots.

I have a very large version of that picture, however, I won't be able to post it til tonight. I only have the small version on my computer, and a friend has my camera, which has the large one. So give me til tonight, and then I will PM it to you or post it or something. In other news: here is Patriot. Both of these pictures were taken by me.

Herro. No photoshop here, just a lovely picture of my favorite. Im sorry donkeys, but I am stalker creepy for manta.

^Kinzel still must have a lot of fanbois if he has 14,400,000 entires on him.

I have officially pulled a Michael Jordan/Brett Favre and come out of retirement! After many years off of freestyle terrain park skiing, after some rather devastating crashes (though none compared to Shaun Whites today), I have been re inspired to climb back on the horse and give her a go. I want to start back at square one so I can relearn everything perfectly, and see where it takes me. Though I will never get to the point where I am throwing 1620 over a 120 foot table, I wouldn't mind getting back to 900s over 50+ footers. We'll see, next weekend it will start. He's back!!!!

SH*T!! Looks like Jordan has a new favorite coaster. And a new model. If Dick Kinzel ran Sea World Adventure Parks... Weak.

^I mean, naturally I would assume that the background in business would make the MBA worthwhile. Plus I am sure there are some undergraduate classes that you truly would need to take to grasp the concepts at the graduate level. At some level, education is education and you can use that to expand your understandings of the world, but I would say largely the MBA would only benefit you if you come from a business undergraduate background. As an update, I did drop Econ as my second major and added it as a minor. This does come as a disappointment though as I truly do love economics, but I also love accounting and business, and ultimately it is that which will allow me to achieve my dreams. So, as it stands, Finance and Accounting Majors, Economics minor and that certificate in entrepreneurship. I cannot believe how fast time is flying in college, seems like just yesterday that I was walking in to my first lecture. As another update, the IAAPA ambassador program was easily the best week of my life, both socially and professionally. If you have the opportunity to apply for the program, I HIGHLY recommend it. I have stacks of business cards from the biggest names in the industry, and got to speak with them about their careers, my career and of course some of the dorky aspects of the industry. It was a lot of work, say 15 hour days, but it didn't even matter. I am not even kidding you in the slightest when I say it was the best week of my life. Riding the rides, learning a ton, talking with a great number of people and meeting some truly phenomenal friends. Unbelievable. If any of them are reading this, this is Jordan, and I miss you! If you are thinking about doing it, shoot me a PM and I would love to talk about it further. Lastly, I am hoping that I get to do it again this upcoming year (Nov 2010) in Orlando. With that in mind, I also hope to have my Manta model done by then and see if the park would be interested in showing it. Great year thus far, and it will undoubtedly only get better. Edit: I could have sworn this thread used to be in the "ask alvey" division, am I making things up?

I don't know if it is just the view or what, but your picture (see below support that is cirlced in attachment) seems to have that support at a significantly greater degree, as in angles, than in real life. I know it is hard to see, but the first yellow support attaching to the tower, right at the very bottom, appears to be at a 45 degree angle. And then look below at the attachment of your picture, and see the difference in the angle? Again, could just be the angle the picture was taken, but it appears to be a little off.

^I'm psyched if the best has yet to come. I have never left North America but that might just be enough reason to get me out there, those pictures are stunning. Looks like a fun trip!
