Seriously "Phunkdified" by Ben Lapps

Have you ever met someone and just know that there's something unique, even extraordinary about them? When we met Ben Lapps that's what it was for me. While I believe that we are all blessed with certain gifts, the ability to musically move a crowd is incredibly "cool" to me. Ben is one of those prodigies that you just don't see everyday. Any he's only 16! Unbelievable. Glad I had my camera! I'm sure you'll feel like we all did when he's done. We all looked at each other as if to say... "how freakin' cool is that...?!

Did She Say $5.00 Round Trip To Hawaii?

Now here's a cool family... Friends of ours, Dale & Michelle Bartlett have figured out how to travel the world with their family for next to nothing. They've been almost everywhere, and more than once. They've had so much fun for so little dough that the demand from their friends wanting to learn how to do it has spawned a successful business. They've written a book and now host seminars on how to travel to Tuscany (and all places between) on a pauper's pay. A beautiful family living their dreams from Hyrum to the Himalayas. Hey... maybe the lizard on a rock from the previous post is not so out of reach. How freakin' cool is that...?

Two Cool Things... Hawaii & A Free GoPro Camera

After what seems like the longest winter in recorded history, I'd love to sprawl out on a rock and bake like a lizard in Hawaii for a month or two. (Never been, dying to go!) Sunshine, surf and "SPF I'm in heaven"... If that's not cool enough, GoPro gives away one of EVERYTHING they make, EVERYDAY. You can enter at www.GoPro.com. I've had my eye on this amazing camera for a while. It mounts about anywhere and shoots the highest quality video I've seen. Waterproof, shockproof, sweet. Hawaii and a free GoPro camera. How freakin' cool would that be?

An Amazing World

I'm continuously amazed at the incredible wonders of this life.  Now days you need not look far to discover something truly "cool" someone has invented, done, written, accomplished, become, developed, produced, overcome, or created.  The proliferation of internet users now spreads those "cool" things across the globe like never before. This blog may be nothing more than my not-so-private wish list of those things I've bumped into that I personally find to be "cool"... (a bucket list of sorts) those things that inspire, cause me to stretch a little, make me laugh, cry, wonder, accomplish, or want... Those "cool" things may be products to make life better, guilty pleasures I hope to experience or amazing places I want to explore.  They may be accomplishments from people I'd like to be friends with, something I long for or want to learn or some outrageous gadget I wish I had.  I'll record this journey by simply sharing those things that I find here on this blog.  Hopefully some of those things that I find to be "cool", you will too.  So here goes... my personal journey into those things in life that stir my soul and stretch my imagination to figure out how to "go get that"... those amazing things that make you stop and say... "how freakin' cool is that".
