  Davideo Designs

Welcome to my new and ultra improved web site. This new site is thanks to my ever so talented big bro, Dave. He kindly distracted himself from what he should have been doing and instead created this gorgeously blue and easy to update site for me with all the facinating intricacies and confusing quirkiness that is Davideo. (If you like the site and would like one of your own, he'd be happy to design one for you too...for a price of course. He's broke.) I've actually hired him myself to create a super cool site for the lab that I work in. The University of Arizona's Biochem Labs have a pathetically drab array of websites and I'd like to remedy that by destroying all the other sites with the Cordes' Lab coolness. So...over the break, I'm sure that despite all sanity, Dave will get bored when we are in Hawaii and want to work on it. Thanks David for being a techy. Speaking of Tech, I have a new goal in life, well sort of. Dave and I took open water scuba diving classes as I'm sure you know, and finshed the confined water part of the class on Sunday. Well, Dave and I are studs so we blew through the class and our super awesome instructor, Kevin, decided to teach us some free diving breathing techniques and tell us about his incredibly baddass tech-diving (as opposed to recreational diving) skills. Again, being total baddasses ourselves, Dave and I after an hour or so of instruction, tried holding our breaths under water for as long as possible. We did surprizingly well, considering we both suffer(ed) from asthma, and even bested our instructor by hitting 4 min 44 sec for me and 4 min 57 sec for Dave. And yes, that is underwater, no scuba, snorkle or other breating aparratus. As I said, we are studs. Because we are naturally good at this, and now love the water, we will hopefuly start training with Kevin (instrucor) and maybe even join the US free-diving team. Who knows, ya know...the sea floor is the limit!

Enough of that. I am getting super excited for my vacationing to start. We leave at 7am this friday morning for our rafting trip with the paternal side of the family. This trip, however, is eirily lacking in details. All I know is that we are driving somewhere, I'd assume the Colorado river, on Friday morning, then 9 days later I'll be back and on my way to Hawaii. No, seriously, that's it! I don't know where we will be, what we'll be doing, where we will go, how we will sleep, how hot, how cold, how dangerous, how boring, how wet, how dry everything is supposed to be. For goodness sake, I was just informed hurriedly that I don't even need a bathing suit. WTF!?! No bathing suit? Does that mean that my Father's day plan/gift of pushing daddy into the river is foiled? Regardless, he shall get wet. Shhhh, don't tell. I know he doesn't visit the site, so it's a secret between me and you. I suppose the less you know about something, the more of an adventure it is. Sounds good to me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TIFFANY HOLMES!!!!!!!! SWEET 19, BABY. WELCOME TO THE BIG-LEAGUES!!! See you tonight!

Oh, and by the way, just so you know, the reason that my news entry is so long, is because I am writing it in my lab whilst I await the completion of the melting of my protein. I am much more babblesome and alert when I write these durring the day. :D Take care everyone!
