Labor Day: Lots of Fun. Little Labor.

by Jon Pinney on September 8, 2009

Happy Labor Day! :)

Today was an awesome day.  I slept in.

Then I got up and headed over to my parent’s house to go swimming.  I invited some friends over, and we had a nice enjoyable day by the pool.

The best part was when one of them pulled out the camera… We started taking a ton of crazy pictures.  I’ve included some of my favorites here.  I hope you enjoy.

And finally the women attacked us.

At this point, we decided it was time to do something else.  We went and ate at Quizno’s (I got the Turkey Bacon Guacamole… yum) and then headed to my place for smoothies, a movie, and a nap.  The movie we chose:  Far and Away–with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.  I have to say that’s one of my favorite movies, though it is really long.  We thought we’d take a nap while watching the movie (there were 8 of us) though I don’t think anyone ever fell asleep.

My favorite line and moment from the movie…  Joseph (Tom Cruise) says to Stephen (Thomas Gibson) right after he throws him from his horse into the river:  “We’re not in Ireland anymore, you arrogant bastard.”

Inspired by Nature, The Fray, Wind, and Disarm

by Jon Pinney on April 19, 2009

The day was beautiful today…  I loved it.

I think what I liked the most was that the weather was perfect:  clear blue sky, about 80 degrees.  What inspired me was a combination of driving fast in my Dodge Charger (which I have still not named) with the windows down and skylight open, while listening to Absolute by The Fray, and driving through the west side of Roseville that is still undeveloped.  Right by my house there are huge open fields that just go on and on… WOW it was amazing.  Can’t get much more inspiring than that.  I even took a picture of myself while I was driving…

I listened to Absolute at least 10 times today…  And while I was driving home tonight–cranking Absolute with my windows down–I was so inspired that I pulled over and wrote some lyrics of my own…  Then I cranked the music, and sped home.  Wow, I love feeling inspired :)

And when I got home the inspiration didn’t stop.  My roommate mentioned Smashing Pumpkins and that he had the music video for Disarm–easily one of my top 5 songs of all time.  Needless to say I watched it a few times…
