Look What Came Out of My Feet!!!

So, last night Martha brought over a device called the EB-305, which is used to cleanse your body of toxins, and other junk. All you have to do is dip your feet in this bucket of water, and through a process I'll explain below, it sucks out all of the bad things that have collected in your body.


Hard to believe? Well, let me show you the results video of our little experiment. Watch the video below, and then read on to have an explanation of how it works.

The Erchonia EB-305 was designed to create ION fields in order to detoxify and balance the overall energy in the body.

An Ion is a charged atom or molecule. This charge can be either positive or negative. These ions want to naturally negate their charge back neither to positive or negative but rather a stable position. Ions then seek out things of opposite polarity to negate that charge

The EB-305 device takes advantage of that natural occurrence to remove the unwanted toxins and other harmful free radicals from within the body, that are stored within the body. By using the foot bath and water as a vessel to transmit this Ionic charge, the body will naturally absorb this energy force through the meridian points within the feet.

This energy force will then attract the opposite polarized items in order to negate their charge and return to a stable position. This polarizing process has a similar effect as a television picture tube (this is why your television set always gets so dusty).

March For Babies -- I need the exercise

Hey everyone,

I am participating in March for Babies because I believe in the March of Dimes mission to save babies. Please support my fundraising efforts by sponsoring me in March for Babies.

You don't have to feel any pressure to donate; I just wanted to give everyone the opportunity to support the cause. I'll be walking this Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at the Pioneer Park in Provo, if any of you would like to join my team, please, by all means; feel free to do so, all of you are more than welcome! You can sign up to join my team right on the website.

If you would rather just donate a few dollars to the cause, that is just as welcome! You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage. If you want to donate $1, $5, $10, or more, it all counts!! I set my goal at $30 to donate, if the response is good, I will increase my goal. Even just a few bucks are really appreciated!

The money we raise helps save premature and sick babies. Premature birth is the #1 cause of newborn death and the biggest threat to babies' health today, and through March for Babies, the March of Dimes is funding important research to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it.

You can donate from the following link:

It's Been a While...

Holy crap man! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted a bloody blog! There is so much stuff that has happened, and I haven't been reporting on any of it!

Well, first off, if any of you haven't heard, I am officially engaged to the love of my life, Janae Balibrea. We went and got pictures taken yesterday at Corona Del Mar in California. The beach was beautiful and we got some great pictures... See below... You can see the pictures on my Myspace if you want.

Also, if you want to see the engagement you can watch this video.

Medieval Times Engagement


Well, Jake needs to go to bed, and this is the only connection in the room, so, I'll finish updating you guys on this stuff soon.

Getting Back into The Groove

So Janae and I have decided to make some changes in our lives that would help us to be more healthy, happy, and fit.

Most of you know I love cycling, so I have naturally done spin classes at the gym before. But it's been a long time since I've really done them. However, my amazing girlfriend agreed to do them with me 3 times a week, and then to lift 2 times a week. It's all very exciting.

We woke up this morning for the 5:45 a.m. class at 24Hour Fitness. It was a lot of fun. The teacher was not that hard, I have had much harder classes. She just kind of did the same thing over and over again, and didn't really switch it up much. But I still feel like I got a good introduction workout. It will break me in for the next class on Wednesday. We plan on going to lift tomorrow morning. I'm excited to start lifting again, I'm the weakest I've ever been in my life right now, and I can't wait to gain a lot of my muscle back. I'm going to be a svelte sexy man by summers end.

I guess since my sisters and my girlfriend do the 3 best things of the day, I am going to start doing it. So, here it goes.

1. My girlfriend Janae - She is so amazing... I love her with all my heart, and I am so grateful to have her! She makes me a better man, and is so patient with my weaknesses and shortcomings. I feel very lucky to have her!

2. A Healthy body - Yeah, I'm out of shape, overweight, weak, and dumpy at the moment, but even at my fattest, I feel so grateful that I have a working, healthy body that I can enjoy life with. I'm grateful for my talents and abilities physically.

3. Family - Ashlee and her husband Jake and their kids were up here from Vegas this weekend, it was really fun having them! I always love it when we can get our family together for playing wiffle ball or basketball, or whatever. My family is awesome, and I really love being with them. I'm a lucky guy!

4th - Yeah, I'm doing 4 today. I'm grateful for a mom who cuts hair. My hair is knappy right now, and really needs to be cut. I'm so glad I don't have to pay to get my hair cut. My mom has cut my hair forever, and It saves me a fortune. Thanks Mom!

Another Response to an Anti-Mormon

I thought I'd post another response I had for some douche' bag anti Mormon on some Mormon forums. Let me know what you think.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Your right, I’m pretty much just bored. I don’t want to mess anyones faith up like that.

I just came to the realization that the Book of Mormon isn’t true, and Joseph Smith was actually not a prophet. If he’s not a true prophet than he’s a false prophet. If he is a false prophet that is dangerous. Maybe satan inspired Joseph Smith to do what he did so that a large group(mormon church) would alienate themselves from the BIBLE. The Bible is second to NO book in history, especially joseph smiths 16 century copy of the new testament called the Book of Mormon.

How many times has the Book of Mormon been changed since it’s its first publishing? If this is such a prestine translation of so called "gold plates" why has it been changed?

I’m ready to hear an answer. Actually I’m ready to hear another justification. Justification 324

Whos fault was it this time?"



This whole post completely negates anything even remotely intelligent that you’ve said throughout this whole topic. Don’t worry though, there wasn’t much intelligence in the first place, so don’t worry.

If Joseph Smith was a false prophet, why does he have so many good "fruits”? If you would like to use the Bible, which by the way we do not place "2nd to the Book of Mormon" lets go and read where it talks about fruits:

Matt. 7: 17-19
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Let’s compare this to the Book of Mormon, which is as you claim "from Satan":

"For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil." That’s in Moroni.

Very similar in the points they’re trying to convey wouldn’t you agree? If Joseph Smith were making this stuff up, don’t you think he would have written the book of Mormon in such a way that it wouldn’t be telling those who read it to question its author, and its pages? He wouldn’t be willing to indict himself within his own false masterpiece!

In Moroni 10:8-9 it is a promise that if you read and pray about what you’ve read, you can receive an answer from the Holy Ghost that it is true. This seems to be yet another thing unlikely to be written by a man who was knowingly writing a book of fiction.

If JS was indeed lead by Satan, that means our prophets and apostles today are being led by Satan. If that’s the case, why on earth would Satan tell us to abstain from use of Tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, premarital sex, foul language, pornography, bad thoughts, or anything that would distance you from the Son Jesus Christ? Does that really sound like Satan to you? I don’t care WHAT faith you are, that is NOT Satan! Your own bible says so! No corrupt tree can produce good fruit!! Neither can a bad fountain produce good water, and vice versa. Do you see my point? If not, read the Bible which you so wholeheartedly believe in.

I can deal with you saying that you don’t believe the LDS church is true. I frankly feel bad for you, but it’s still no skin off my back. However, I will not tolerate you coming in here, and saying that Joseph Smith was lead by Satan to bring forth the Book of Mormon and other works which he brought forth.

The Book of Mormon was translated by a prophet of God. I know it to be true for myself. I can sit here and tell you that all day long, but your mind has been made up otherwise, so I won’t beat a dead horse. However, I don’t care what your background is, what you believe, where you come from, etc etc… You CANNOT say that Joseph Smith was lead by Satan. It’s impossible; it’s doctrinally unsound if you want to go by the Bible’s definition. He brought forth too many worthy fruits to be called a man of Satan. Feel free to believe otherwise as far as the Mormon Church as a whole, but you can’t say that regardless of whether or not you believe what Joseph Smith did was true, that it wasn’t remarkable.

Millions of members throughout the world are living better lives that are more Christian based, focusing on the family, service, charity, love, keeping the commandments, etc… That is of God, no matter what you believe. So please refrain from ever talking about Joseph Smith with such disrespect. I don’t care WHAT you believe. You cannot argue the points I’ve made here. He did many great things, and I personally think you should focus on those, rather than all the unimportant pish posh you’re focusing on.

You act like you are seeking answers; however, all you seek are ways of justifying your choices, and making your life a little easier by trying to say that you are doing no wrong.

It's Official!


It's official. I got my grade back in my math class. I don't think any of you really can understand what this means for me! I am so freaking relieved!! If I never do another math problem again in my life, I will die happy!!!

So, anyway, I am so stoked! Just wanted to let ya'll know! Yeah, it's only a C, but a C is just as good as anything, seeing as it's the minimum grade I needed to be able to transfer the credit to UVU. So, I'm officially done with mathematics, unless Multimedia has changed it's requirements on me, but I don't think that's the case.

May All Mathmaticians Be Cursed With a Sore Curse!

Alright, so I know I already posted one entry today, but, that one was only for blogging pleasure, it consisted of a topic in which I could poke fun at, this post is mostly for catching you up on the happenings in my life, and the progress I'm making with the new goals I've set.

First of all, let me just tell you something about myself. I believe it would be fair to call myself a fairly creative person. I have lots of talents, skiing, sky skiing, hiking, road biking, scrap booking, sleeping, kissing, eating food, being irresistible to women, you know, lots of talents. I guess it's just my cross to bear.

However, you'll be amazed to know that there is one thing that I am not good at. As I look at that statement, I have to snigger a little to myself. It's somewhat of an understatement. Let me put it this way, your 1st grader is probably better than I am at this particular subject.

I know you must be breathing heavily with anticipation. It's just so hard to believe I have a mental weakness right? Well, I hereby submit I am the worst math student who has ever lived. If I were born in China, they probably would have killed me for being so bad at math, totally disregarding the fact I did indeed have a penis.

That said, let me just tell you. I've been taking a Math 1030 class at this thing called, "Easiest Math Ever". It's for the veritable retards, such as I. Well, don't let the name trick you into thinking that this class was easy. I actually struggled a lot through this class, but I worked my butt off!! I studied literally over 10 - 15 hours a week for this class probably, and I still managed to get D's on 3 of the tests.

Yesterday was different however. Only by a pure miracle from God was I able to get an 82% on my math test yesterday. 82% may not be that great for some of you nerdos who know how to use your alleged brains, but for me, I may as well have gotten an A+ with a gold star and a big slap on the buttocks from coach carter assuring me I had a "good game". I was extremely happy about my score!

Try not to pay attention to the fact that I got a 62% on the final which I took today. That is not important, we're talking about my triumphs, not my failures.

Anyway, just wanted you all to know that I was smart in math for exactly 2 hours and 27 minutes of my life. This means that I will pass the class with a C, which may as well be an A in my book. I was going for a C anyway, so I'm happy.

On a serious note though, I really do feel like God played a huge part in helping me to study effectively for this test. I was literally praying the whole test that I would have a quickened mind, and that I would be able to recall the principles I had spent so much time studying. I was blessed for sure.

I am still going strong on my "no games" commitment. It has been a challenge to constantly stay self aware all the time. It has been a positive challenge, which I have really liked most of the time. But there are always those times where you recognize your weaknesses, and just wish they would all go away NOW instead of later with time and effort. But things are still going really well for me. I feel like every aspect of my life has improved. Heck, I went into work for 1 hour and 4o minutes today, and ended up closing 10 calls. That is daily GOAL for all our techs for an 8 hour work day. What can I say, "All your base are belong to us." That's what! So, things are going really well.

I have a lot to say, but this is quite long, and it's like 2:34 in the morning right now, so I think I'm going to call it a night. Don't forget to enjoy my other blog I wrote earlier about parking lots! You'll love it, I promise!

Give Thanks That You Can Walk

Today as I rolled along in the UVSC parking lot looking for a spot to park, I realized something. People will do virtually anything to get a parking spot that is 4 spaces closer than 3 empty parking spots a little further down the row. I find it interesting... No, let me rephrase, I find it pathetic that our society is so lazy that they are willing to cut someone off while giving them the bird at the same time, dent someone's door, and almost kill an innocent pedestrian to pull into a space that is literally only a few hundred feet closer than a much more accessible space farther from their destination.

Furthermore, the time it takes these people to drive around frantically looking for someone to leave is far longer than if they'd just drive to the back of the parking lot to choose from a wide array of spaces. All shapes and sizes included. My favorite though is when you get the "Stalker" space predator. The ones that lie in wait for you to come outside into the parking lot so they can slowly creep behind you as you walk to your car, all the while they're trying to figure out where your car is by watching your movements, and studying walking patterns, so they can plan their next move. I've always wanted to act really nervous while they're following me, looking over my shoulder with a frantic look, walking somewhat erratically, and then, break into a full sprint, dropping my back pack, kicking off my shoes, tearing off my shirt and pants and running for dear life... "Why would you take off all your clothes?" you may be wondering, why NOT is the real question!

The best prank for a stalker driver is when you walk really slowly, making sure to kind walk back and forth across the parking lot so they have no earthly idea where you’re planning on going. Then they have to follow you all the way to your car, only to have you open your door, to get something like a stick of gum, this leaves them frustrated and fuming usually. I always get a good chuckle out of it though. Sure, I could tell them I'm not leaving, but then what fun would that be for me?

Here's my take. I have always been one to say, "Give thanks that you can walk." I almost prefer getting a space that is farther away. Not only is my car less likely to get t-boned by the kamikaze parking space driver, but frankly, I need the exercise. I think we should all be a little more grateful that we have legs to walk. Especially give thanks when your legs are as muscular and chiseled as mine!
