Fiesta and Chemtrails!

Last night we attended a fiesta for a three year old!

That was a lot of fun! Our wonderful Mexican neighbors really know how to throw a party! The food was great! The pinata-smashing was fun to watch! The home-made cake was creative and delicious! I'm really glad we went over there!

Today I spent most of my time in a very productive state. I have designed a systematic checklist that will allow me to make sure I am using each day to better myself!

Each day I will improve in the following five areas:
  1. Spiritual Life
  2. Linguistics
  3. Computer Skills
  4. Physicallity
  5. Relationships
I devised different ways to work on each category. I'm really excited to see how it grows me toward the man I want to become. I'm also in the middle of a really great book! Dani Johnson is definitely in the top 15 of my favorite women! She and her husband and their company are doing some amazing things for this world and they have a lot of insight! If you love your children and want to raise them to succeed in this world, buy this book and apply the principles!
Grooming the Next Generation for Success (Paperback)

I also spent a good 1 hour and 10 minutes talking with Mr. Tyler Robert Smotherman. What a cool guy! God is doing some great things in his life and will continue to do so!

Alright everyone, that's it for today! I love you!
Goodnight.

Jake, Sam, and Cobbler!

Tonight we had Jake DuBiel and his step dad Sam Mayfield over for dinner!

What a couple of cool guys! Sam had plenty of insight and experience from all of the cool things he has been involved with in the past and had some pretty interesting theologies regarding the spirituality of Peanut M&M's. I don't want to go too in-depth, due to the fact that he is the philosopher. Not I. I wouldn't want to miss-word anything, but I'm sure he would love to share his ideas with you, so let me know if you're interested!

And Jake was a cool, down to Earth, really nice guy with good tastes in TV and video games! I look forward to hanging out with him sometime! He works at a Veterinarian Hospital close by! We're planning on going up hiking this Saturday afternoon. That would awesome. I love a good hike!

Other than that, I mostly just worked on my video today. You might get to see it tomorrow night or Saturday night!

Oh and I did some brainstorming too. Mostly on how to use my gifts for God. That was pretty fun to map that out!

Hey guys! I love you all and I look forward to hearing from each one of you as soon as you write to me! I would write to you but I don't know who all is reading this :)

Austin Beals is no longer one person...

That's right! I looked up my name on Facebook and added all the other Austin Beals's as my friend. I think 3 out of 4 accepted!! :D

Here they are:

 Austin Beals Number 2 is my favorite. He likes orange chicken from Panda Express. Likes to ride his bike. And likes to spend his weekends at a local pizza shop in downtown Cali where local artist can show their art and musicians can play their music...does that sound like Java with pizza to anyone else? He's a cool kid.

This is Austin Beals Number 3. He asked me if people call me "Beals." They do. I said I also get a lot of "Bealsy." His response was, "dude i get the same thing hahahha i figured that you would too." Yes, Austin Beals, I get that too. He said he likes to spend his time with: "fine wemon and dirt bikes and engines and hard work..." Neat. At least one Austin Beals is taking care of all that!

 

Apparently Austin Beals Number 4 is a cat....major let down.

Anyways, I spent the majority of my day editing The Bikist. We'll see how it turns out!

Then I went to threeSixty at Phoenix First, and wow, that was great! Jason talked about the need for Godly relationships. I really needed to hear that. It was uber cool. Need to get me some of them!!

Alright my loved ones, I will talk to you soon!

Juggling Adobe...

Yeah, that title fits.

I spent most of my day on Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Dreamweaver. I was working on my movie and on my future website. I came up with this header:


Pretty cool, eh?  =)

AustinBeals.com
"Live above the norm. Dare to be Awesome."

Haha I like it! You can check the website out if you want. There's nothing there but it feels really cool that I can put something up like that!

----------

Once I could finally pull myself away from the computer, I decided I would practice juggling! I made it a goal to learn how by next monday. So we'll see how that goes!

----------

Oh and then the three of us watched the State of The Union Address. "Great" stuff. Haha, yeah all those promises sound wonderful! Honestly!
New technology? Innovation? Better education? Better payout for teachers? Cleaner energy? Less government? No debt? Sure!! Sounds great. Deliver the goods, please :)

I'm not waiting too patiently though. Mainly because I don't expect the government to fix all my problems.

Anyways...goodnight everyone!

It's the Climb!

Hey ya'll!! Yesterday Bear and I climbed Lookout Mountain and it was GREAT! Here are some pictures:

From the bottom up!

About 60% of the way to the top!

 Wow...

Beautiful.

Oh! And check out this cactus we found!!!


Today I filmed The Bikist, it was pretty darn fun! I think you guys will like it :)
BUUT...I got a flat tire! That is the second one in the past four days!! I think there is something wrong with my rim. I'll have to take it apart and figure something out. It's cool though, I'm starting to really like working with my hands!

In case you're wondering what my movie will be about, I'll give you a little verbal preview. It's about a young man named Brady Janten who believes that the true meaning of life is found through a spiritual bond with your bicycle. According to him, there is a difference between a biker and a bikist. He encourages his audience to take the challenge and live the way of the bike. Should be kinda funny. I had a lot of fun filming it.

Now I have a HUGE learning curve with Adobe Premiere Pro! With Bear's help though, I'm sure it will work out just fine!! :)

I'll keep you guys updated whenever I do anything else new and exciting!

I deeply love you. Yes, you. You are beautiful and sexy and I love you in a fantastically platonic way. Goodnight <3

ASU, Chicken Hat Lady, and Tanning.

I have quite a few pictures from yesterday and today so I'll let them speak for themselves. Yesterday we took the light rail and went all the way to Tempe and Mesa. We got a bite to eat, saw some art work, visited the ASU campus, and just had a good time!






Good times! Today I got a great work out, rode my bike, worked on my new movie (The Bikist) for a bit, and then went tanning!


No, that chair is not covered in snow. I am just that white. BUT I'm looking more like Jake Kragerud each and every day! :) Oh! REWIND...before all this, Baa and I went to the farmers' market and met a nice lady with a chicken hat! She makes puppets and sells them. Each puppet has it's own name and personality. She told us that she doesn't name them. The puppets tell her their names and they speak to her as she makes them. That's normal, right?


Do you like my nuts??


=]


Also, I started a jar for spare change. I'll let you know once I fill it up and we'll see how much mula I've collected!

Wow, this is a long post! Peace out. <3
