Hugh MacLeod — Phone Call
“They say talk is cheap, but based on usage, most folks must think texting is cheaper…
Truth is we live in a world dominated by mobile phones – there are actually more phones than there are people in the U.S. – yet we barely speak to each other anymore.
Our phones have become everything but a device to speak into (unless you’re one of the iPhoners who talk to Siri).
Phone or no phone, we should talk more, don’t you think?”
What more can I say – Genius.
Hugh MacLeod – Find Something
Simply Said. Find Something.
If you enjoy these random cartoons and would like to see them on your wall – Hugh MacLeod and Gapingvoid are having a half off sale on April uno. It could be an April fools joke… so no guarantees – but I doubt it.
Shane McConkey Trailer

“He’s the most bad ass person on the face of the earth.”
-Travis Pastrana
Looking forward to seeing this RedBull release in 2013. The more I learn about Shane McConkey the crazier and nicer this guy seems to be. To hold you off until the movie is released… party out with some G.N.A.R or this ridiculous recap from last years Pain McShlonkey Classic.

I Love Awesomeness — Overcoming Fears

This I Love Awesomeness moment comes from Ryan Johnson – Thanks for the share.
4th grader to 4th grader, I’m pretty sure Kelly Sildaru could run circles around this future ski jumper – but competition isn’t what overcoming your fears is about. Personal competition with yourself… now that’s more like it.
What is the latest fear you personally have overcome?
HYDLE + BODYLAB — Begin
Life Reset Button – PUSH
18 years ago I quit gymnastics. Now that my gymnastics body has undoubtably worn off – It’s time to get back into shape and get my ass kicked a little.
Thanks to Matt D’Amico down at Body Lab – he has a program for this.

Audi R18 e-tron quattro
[YouTubeUlar] <— 12,270
“Audi’s first big motor sport program in 1981 was based on the quattro permanent four-wheel drive. After numerous championship wins and the banning of four-wheel drive in FIA circuit-based racing series for the 1998 season, a model from Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm with four driven wheels now returns to the race tracks — the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.”
Time to play hybrid at Le Mans this year – Go team.
Manuel De Los Santos

Social Networking does work... how else would I have noticed that Boyd Easley watched this video, and then posted it for me to find.
“Manuel de los Santos is one of sport’s most inspirational figures. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, he played baseball from a young age and by 2003 was planning to turn professional. But a motorcycle accident changed his life forever when he lost his left leg above the knee.”
Excited for some golf season to be rolling around. It was 65 in Golden today, going to be the same tomorrow. Time to hit the range.

Hugh MacLeod – Our Potential
“What determines who we are? Is it that we settle? What is good enough? Do we find happiness? How do all of these things shape who we are?
Our “potential” is infinite. As endless as the cosmos. We are endowed with the power, ability and opportunity.
What gets in the way of our potential? Lack of drive? Lack of interest? Distractions? More likely: Not knowing what you really want.
More than ever, we live in a world where on a personal level, nearly anything is possible. We ARE the sum total of our choices, and these choices should lead us to happiness. I’ve always thought that a key to happiness is aligning what you want with what you are willing to do to get it.
We’re not talking morality, we are talking your appetite for 16 hour work days, travel, ass-kissing, office politics, screaming kids, etc. If you can live in that sweet spot of doing and getting what you want, you are living your potential.
And, your potential is all about being happy.
God Bless.”
Are you happy?
Hugh MacLeod – Be Spontaneous
“Spontaneity is one of life’s great joys. It is a way of breaking out of a daily routine that can seem like drudgery.
It is a way of being playful, bringing joy and embracing possibility. It is one of the gifts that free will offers.
Try it today. Turn right on the way home, instead of left. Do something, anything, that you haven’t tried before.
See how a little thing can make a big difference to your quality of life.
Some people have turned complaining into a science. We see that some cultures have a greater propensity to complain. Coffee’s too hot, food’s too cold, boss is a jerk, Starbucks double half caf mocha frapaccino wasn’t quite frappy enough?We all know people who do it. It validates. It lets people vent, but is it the right thing to do? In my experience, complainers are generally hard to be around. Their complaints usually fill the narrative gaps of what they feel are flaws in their own lives.
After all, why be successful when you can sit around and complain about everyone else who is?”
100 thousand million percent agree.
Rock on!

HYDLE + Godin – Happy Leap Day
While playing in Winter Park with Mom for Leap Year – I came across a nice little email from Seth Godin while relaxing by the fire.
“Leap year meditation
Once in four years, just once, perhaps we could:
Forgive, forget, relax, care, stand out, speak up, contribute, embrace, create, make a ruckus, give credit, skip, smile, speak truth and refuse to compromise–more than we usually do. Pick just one or two and start there.
Hey, it’s just one day.
Careful, though, it might become a habit.”
Thank you for the inspiration you provided us throughout the rest of the day Seth. We had already accomplished most of your meditation techniques… just needed to focus on a little skipping!
Rock on!

Chipotle – Back to the start

Congratulations to Chipotle for airing their first national television commercial. Back to the Start was a YouTube web release back in August and carries you through the story of Chipotle, told through the practices of a farmer.
“The film, by film-maker Johnny Kelly, depicts the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future. Both the film and the soundtrack were commissioned by Chipotle to emphasize the importance of developing a sustainable food system.”
1000% Genius – should have been a Super Bowl ad.
Buy the song and support The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation.

On February 3, 2012, Josh became the first person to perform a backflip on snow in a Sit Ski!Also, see Josh in the Documentary film, THE FREEDOM CHAIR
