Welcome to the redesign of lifestudent.com!!!

The new design utilizes a single WordPress install to update PinkBroadcasting.com, HugNation.com, Hugmobile.com, BeliefBuffet.com, and my personal blog at LifeStudent.com. Hopefully it is easy to navigate, but PLEASE let me know if you have any suggestions or thoughts!

Welcome to LifeStudent 2.0.08!

While in the process of updating, I was looking over some earlier versions of my homepage designs. What a long strange pixelated trip it’s been!

LifeStudent:

• The under-the-radar, yoga version

• The grandpa homage

CockyBastard:

• The Webby Winning Version

Styn.net

• fall from the sky version

• On top of the world version

I’m not a fan of Resolutions, but only because they set you up to fail. I *do* think that New Years are great “markers” to pull your head out from the daily grind and take a birds eye look at where you are on your path. “How are things going? Need to adjust the trajectory at all?”

It is also a great time to look back and remember all the year’s highlights.

For me, this was the year of the Caleb’s.
My 2007 was defined by the passing of Grandpa Caleb and the growing of Nephew Caleb.
Both have been joyous beyond description.

Here are some other highlights:

• Hosted the “Huggable V-Day” gathering with Grandpa.
• Held Grandpa’s hand as he passed.
• Gave a Eulogy. Authored a tribute DVD.
• Attended & spoke at SXSW
• Nominated for a 2nd Webby.
• Went to New York to accept People’s Choice Webby. (Hugged Rob Cordry)
• Yahoo featured HugNation on their Homepage.
• Recieved divine inspiration to build the Pink Ark (the Hugmobile.)
• Participated in my 10th Burning Man.
• Heard my nephew call me by name.
• Went to Colorando to spread Grandpa’s Ashes and bond with family.
• Did the first ever 6 city HUG TOUR with Spotman.
• went to SF, LA, and SD Decoms
• Featured on CNN.
• Learned tons from Hugmobile “challenges.”
• Fell in love with Andicat.
• launched “Belief Buffet.”
• relaunched LifeStudent.com!

Goals for the New Year I made a few years ago:

• Stop using the phrase, “stinky finger.”

• Wean myself off Phonics (I’m hooked)

• Rip out Puff Daddy’s vocal cords and flay him mercilessly across the buttocks.

• Figure out what’s causing that rash.

• Limber-up enough to perform self-fellatio (If I achieve this, my blog will go on an indefinite hiatus)

• Apologize to each member of the NFL for failing to take an interest in their sport.

• Get all my friends to sign my cast. (break arm if necessary)
