baby, i’ve been here before (i used to live alone)

once and again posting “hallelujah” by jeff buckley is the responsibility of anyone with a blog. tonight I’m paying my respects and hoping you’ll enjoy it with me too.

“It’s not a cry that you hear at night, it’s not somebody who’s seen the light, it’s a cold and broken HALLELUJAH!”

Four years ago today I was wondering what had happened to me.

Where had my passion gone? These many years later, I am more educated, accomplished and successful; but looking back at myself, I wish for the passion of the kid sitting in his newport beach apartment questioning his very survival…

…and so we dance.

last week my friend Christian spent her vacation helping out the victims of hurricane Katrina because she’s a super-hero.

today my roommate tim is on a 24-hour moutain bike race somewhere in the mountains of socal because he’s crazy.

last night i ate take-out and watched ’something about mary’ on dvd because i’m a slob.

what the hell happened to me?

The Fairmont in Scottsdale Gets It…

If you’ve been following, Flickr, the blog or my Twitter updates, then you know that I am spending the week at the amazing Fairmont in Scottsdale, AZ. Waiting for us in our room this afternoon were chocolate covered strawberries and a hand written note from the Fairmont’s PR Team thanking us for all of our photos and tweets.

 Wow.

 For any other guest-centric business, this is how you become Web 2.0 savy.

you come for me in the worst of places

so because I have work to do at a research hospital and the pretty girl has a conference to attend, we find ourselves at the Fairmont Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. while I’ve been to Phoenix before, this is my first time experiencing Arizona from the plush accommodations of the Fairmont. Gotta tell ya…not half-bad. Here’s a few snaps from earlier today, in the meantime, I’ll be paying $28 for a salad. Cheers!

That John Denver Is Full of Shit

sometime around 6:34pm PST, the following epic twitter convo occurred in front of god, twitter and anyone sick enough to listen. a transcript of said event follows:

6:34pm: gst0ne: “Discovery park is closed until they trap the cougar.”

6:35pm: st0ney: “@gst0ne I’m on the job”

6:36pm: jeffcarter: “@st0ney kick his ass, sea bass!”

6:51pm: mattstegner: “OMG! 100 points to @jeffcarter using the second best quote from Dumb and Dumber. Everybody knows the best quote, right?

6:51pm: gst0ne: “@mattstegner ever heard the most annoying sound?”

6:54pm: st0ney: “@mattstegner pretty bird”

6:54pm: jessicapar: “@mattstegner so you’re telling me I have a chance”

6:55pm: jeffcarter: “@jessicapar wait a minute, what was all that 1 in a million talk?”

6:55pm: mattstegner: Haaaaaa!!!! You’re all wrong! But I am LMAO!

6:56pm: st0ney: “@mattstegner no it’s a cardigan”

6:57pm jeffcarter: “@mattstegner yeah, that John Denver is full of shit.”

6:57pm mattstegner: “And we have a winner!!!!! @jeffcarter, good job! Best Twitters ever. Thanks everybody that participated.”

So, to everyone who thinks that Twitter is a silly waste of time, take that on your FACE!
