Cage The elephant concert!!

      On Feb. 24 im going to the cage the elephant concert at the pageant in st. louis.  They are a band who i've only noticed a few years ago.  They have grown super popular since i heard there first hit, "aint no rest for the wicked"

      For any of you who like alternative rock music, you should check them out.  I highly recommend them.  This will be my first time to the pageant so im pretty psyched!  Also one of my favorite bands will be performing there which makes it all even better.  I have heard that cage the elephant isn't as good performing live, but I think i'll be the judge of that.

PARKOUR!

Lately i have been training with some friends.  We have just been running around and trying get in shape for some parkour.  For those who dont know what that is just check this out...

      the definition of parkour is a utilitarian discipline based upon the successful, swift and energy-efficient traversing of one's surrounding environment via the practical application of techniques, based around the concept of self-preservation and the ability to help others.
      I believe that this originated from some type of french army training.  I suppose that it was used to get to a tough place to be able to help a person out.  I am really not that sure, but i do know that parkour(free running) is pretty sweet and i am determined to learn it.
      So far the only things i can do is jump from one little post to another but im learning everyday.  hopefully one day i will be as good as those in the video.

I am from

I am From the land of midgets, Freeburg, it has also been called
Born and raised, just shooting some b-ball for all of my days
I am from those who love life and live to love
I am from music lovers, and dancers
I am from the "everyone knows everyone" place where everyface is a best friend
I am from creators and leaders, who strive for the little details
I am from procrastinators who get many ideas yet may leave them unfinished
I am from a caring family who only wants the best
I am from movie watchers who don't mind a little reading
I am from early risers, but personnally would rather sleep in
I am from strivers and hardworkers, who always make it through
I am from God the creator who always seems to be.
