Frank goes home
so....
Just had dinner at my mom's house, that was great. All of my friends came over for my leaving party. We had a great time, good laughs, good food, good people. Its the end of my trip out here, its gone quick, New Years was definitly a highlight of the trip, I had a lot of fun with my friends that night, we got together and went out and just had a good time. Its strange that its over now, but I'm glad for so many reasons and sad for so many reasons, I definitly realize that london is my home, atleast for the time being and while Colorado is beautiful and its where I was brought up, I definitly don't have a connection with it like I use to. Well lots of laughs, lots of banter. Enjoy the Photos that I posted up. I enjoyed taking them. See you all soon

Snowboarding
Just went snowboarding today, man God is awesome, that guy has come up with some amazing stuff. I'll put some pics up to show you guys the good viewings of Colorado. I was in Keystone today, might go to vail of copper mountain in the week. Well a couple of my friends are addicted to a drug out here called oxy cotton. Its a step down from heroine so I'd like to ask you guys to really pray for them. Peace out cub scouts
The last installment
Well this is it, my trip is over. Actually I'm sitting at my house in london as I write this... I told Tamsin that my flight came in on Friday, but I was really coming back today (thursday). I'm beat, flying really takes a lot out of me, I always get congested, and I get gas really bad too (?)... what's that all about... anyway the trip was sick, I had a blast and my friends are slowly but steadily changing. Justin isn't doing as much Oxy as he was when I got there and he told me he's going to keep in touch with me about it. I told him that I along with all of you have been praying for him, and I think it really shocked him. Now if you knew him, you'd know that nothing faises this guy, but I think this did. He called me before I left and said goodbye, even though we had said goodbye the night before. It was cool to know that he cares so much. I'm not going to lie, I was really nervous about going home for many many different reasons, I mean this is a lifestyle that I gave up just over a year ago, and I didn't know how I was going to handle it, but you know what I did, I didn't shy away from talking about God, or my newly founded beliefs, and once my friends knew that they were kinda struck dumb. Take New Years for instance, Justin and I were talking to these two girls that we met at the bar (nothing fishy, I promise) and I just said, I'm thankful for God being in my life, and that at times we can go out and have fun (like I was doing) and still praise God. Well the girls looked at me like "I can't believe he just said that" and I said goodbye to them and walked back to the rest of my friends, but maybe that was the mustard seed that needed to be planted. I'm not perfect, I'll never be, but in my mistakes I am learning how to walk the same path as My Father wants me to... and at the end of the road one day as the vow says it best, "I'll hear the 'well done' from my father". I hope all of your Holidays were as sick as mine, I'm glad to be back and I'll be glad to suprise Tamsin tonight so shhhh!!! for now in case you read this...
when in rome
what up everyone, colorado had an amazing storm the last couple of days, it was crazy. 3 ft (1m) of snow. There was so much snow on the roof that we decided to shovel it off, but then my friends and I decided to do something creative with it and build a jump from the roof the the ground and do a bit of snowboarding. I hit up a backside 180 mute grab and a straight air indie. I'll upload the photos. My friends continue to do some crazy drugs out here, so keep praying for them. Its sunny out now, so I'm going to go sleading. My bestfriends sister just got in, she got stranded out in the middle of no where last night and her along with 60 other people had to sleep in a mall! crazy ehh!!! I went to a cafe yesterday and watched the trains go by, I'm going to do some filming with them in the background, should be cool. I miss everyone, especially Tamsin, but I'm a third of the way through the trip and am having a blast so can't complain!!! See you all soon Frank
Another Day Another Dollar
Ho ho ho... Merry Almost Christmas... so everything seems to be coming along with the small film I'll be making out here, should be cool. I went and talked with the colorado film commision today, that went well. I just need to find a pet store location for next year when (hopefully and with prayer) we'll be making my final project out here. (this film that I'm making now is sort of a short short film that you pitch to get the graduation film made, but you have to make it in order to pitch for the third year film). Well Don't know if anyone is reading these crazy things but I hope all of your christmas' and the christmas party go swimmingly well. I know James, Tamsin, and Rich have put a lot of work into it. Nothing else new on the home front, I'll be with all of my family tomorrow night for a dinner, that should be cool. Talk soon! Your Brother From Another Mother

I got all gold teeth like I came from Iraq
What up lads and laddesses! Hope your christmas is turning out to be as cool as mine. Went snowboarding the other day (again) how cool is Colorado? Very cool on the cool-o-meter. I'm hanging out at my friends house tonight, I've known these guys for about 15 years and this is the first time we've bought presents for each other. Crazy. Anyway should be good. Today was good I ate Christmas Eve dinner at my grandma's and tomorrow dinner is at my mom's. We always have a Spaghetti dinner because we're Italian. I was looking at my family history last night and realized that my great great grandfather was born in austria and my great great grandma was born in yugoslavia, I even know the towns, so I might go visit them. I spoke with Tamsin today, she sounded good, she's back with her family, sounds like she's happy to have the break. Sounds like Richards doing well as well. Anyway, Don't mess with the Kings Queen or you might get Aced, Jack.

The Blizzard Vs. Frank Thompson round 2... fight
Well its hitting us again, we thought we got it bad last time with a meter in a day of snow, now I say this, and think do these crazy English people actually know what I mean? When I say Blizzard, I'm saying that the entire state of colorado (about the size of England) is getting covered in 3 feet of snow, Imagine the entire country Covered in snow... its intense. Well its been snowing steadily for about 5 hours and there is already 9 inches... Crazy. Well I got my film finished with the teeth. Its on my myspace page. You can get to it at http://www.myspace.com/f_ran_kallgoldteeth - The working title for the minute is "Wake up Scene 13, Wake up." Hope you all had an amazing christmas, mine was very good indeed. Talk soon Brothers and Sisters.

What up kiddo's sorry I haven't written sooner, just been busy. Trying to catch up on my sleep and see people. I went skating the other day, but it was boring and all of my friends were late to arrive. I did some location scouting for a film I'd like to make out here, I'll put some pics on here. Trying to convert the heathens out here, but its tough... I met up with some friends that I use to be in the navy with the other day. It was funny seeing everyone after so long. Its about to snow! I can't wait, the weathers been nice so far, but its really getting cold out to day but the other day was hot and sunny... global warming craziness. Well hope you all have an amazing christmas. Peace out bean sprouts
