Help Make-A-Wish and get awesome hotel rates!!!

My best friend Rachel Jones is doing the WAM (Wish-A-Mile) 3 day 300 mile bike ride to help raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. For those of you who don't know who what the charity does, you can visit http://www.wish.org/, but in short they grant wishes for terminally ill children; whether that be being a police officer or going to Disney World or whatever the child desires. I'm always trying to make a difference in the world even if it only effects one person. I can't change the world, but I can change someone's world. So if you are reading this please repost; for every blog the banner below gets posted in, Rachel will receive $20 towards her fundraising. Just let her know you did it. This is her blog... http://www.andinabreath.blogspot.com/ and you can leave her a comment with a link to your blog in it.
Thanks for helping!!!

I recommend HotelsCombined.com and sent $20 to World Vision!

You can shout and help too.

It's SPRING!!!

I've run outside in short and a t-shirt the last few days... and went on my first bike ride of the year yesterday! Shot this while riding:



Mike Wilkinson hit me up in the morning (right before I took my dog for a beautiful trail run) and we went out to Gallup park in the afternoon. It was such a beautiful day! There were a million people out biking, running, even rollerblading. I could not get over how many runners were wearing pants and sweaters. It was 40 degrees! I saw one guy wearing a full on jacket! Crazy people! That's what you wear when it's 0-10 degrees :)

Here's a still from the day:

First Music Video

I shot and finished editing my first music video a few weeks ago. Here it is:

'On Your Mind' by Steve Schriemer from Jakob Skogheim on Vimeo.

Quick music video I shot of my friend and now housemate Steve Schriemer. Nothing crazy, but I think its pretty good for my first music video! And I'm super excited for the next one I have planned which will involve a lot more production.

Check out Steve's music on myspace: myspace.com/steveschriemer

Special thanks to Eric Perry and Reid Ashton at MidCoast Studio in Troy, MI.

Be sure to look out for more...
