Ventura Highway

I HAVE FAILED!!!

I simply have not met my goal to post something on here as often as I wanted.
But that's life, it gets busy.

So...
San Fransisco...
It was awesome! San Fransisco is BY FAR my favorite place. The entire atmosphere just seems to work. It is the perfect city. Nobody there is fat!! Everyone is so active and healthy, definitely a good thing. Who wouldn't want to live in a city where everyone wakes up and goes running? It's like, because everyone is so active they push each other to be just as fit. I also love the general lifestyles that are found there. Other then all those stupid Prius', everything is unique. If somebody likes dressing crazy then they dress crazy, if somebody has bizarre religious views then they worship whatever they want. People there are just so accepting it seems. Yeah people have opinions and preferences, but no one will confront you about it. You live the way you want to.
San Fransisco is really cool without the people too. The architecture of all the town homes, the pier and bay, the seaside landscape, and the weather. I love the weather there (usually). The sky is usually cloudy, so it doesn't get unbearably hot, and there seems to be a light breeze all of the time. This creates a perfect climate for me, I hate heat. I think that everyone should give San Fransisco a try! It's probably not for everyone, but if you can handle it I bet you would love it too. If you can't handle it... go to BYU I guess?

As I'm sure you have all heard, my truck enjoyed the trip so much he decided to stay. I will miss my ugly chunk of metal, but I realize he was getting old and has been looking for a nice place to retire for a while now.
Since then I have acquired a new vehicle, a 1996 Accord. I think this car and I will be a good couple. Although, it does have a standard transmission, and I have found myself pretty rusty! This means you will be able to pick me out of traffic by looking for a car that bounces to life after every stop sign or any other complete stop. I am getting better though...
Slowly, but surely...

All Nite Diner

So I'm here at work SO bored that I typed in "interesting facts" into google...
There's actually some pretty cool stuff here! I thought I would share some with you.

Did you know...
-12 newborns will be given to wrong parents daily?
-A giraffe can go without water longer than a camel?
-A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes?
-Actor Tommy Lee Jones and former vice-president Al Gore were freshman roommates at Harvard?
-All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20?
-Bats always turn left when exiting a cave?
-It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again?
-One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today is because cotton growers in the 1930's lobbied against hemp farmers -- they saw it as competition. It is not as chemically addictive as is nicotine, alcohol, or caffeine?
-The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie." (Thus the name of the Don McLean song.) ?
-There are only four words in the English language which end in "-dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous?
-There are only thirteen blimps in the world. Nine of them are in the United States?

There were like 330 in the list, but those ones I found particularly interesting. Probably because the others didn't really suprise me, or I had already heard them.

Just thought you should know those as well :)

Live Fast, Die Young

Eating Goodwood right now :) At work.
Best work day ever!
Except there are some days when it is so slow we get to just sit here and color, those are good days too. I would put a picture up so you all can drool over how good my food looks, but I haven't looked into how to do that yet. I do have other resources though...

A thick luscious sandwich, stuffed with tender beef brisket and shredded pork; smothered with thick warm barbecue sauce; all on a large soft bun. Also steaming hot, sweet, baked beans and big, thick, soft brownies. And who can forget the wonderful products that Coca Cola has brought this world?

Hope you enjoyed that. I sure did.

Unconclusive Superhero

I told myself that I would put something up here every single day, even if it was something insignificant.
Well...
Sorry about that!

Truth is, I've only been thinking about one thing for the last 4 or 5 days. And that something will not be something posted on a casual blog such as this. But I am here to give you at least something to read, because I am currently overtaken by superpowers.

So a while ago, like when I used to date Bridget and Meaghann, I used to write a bunch of lyrics and music. It was just what I did when I was deep in thought. But obviously I am not with either of them anymore, so I haven't written too much in a pretty long time. Randomly though, out of the middle of nowhere, I have had thoughts, feelings, expressions, and ideas thrust into my mind! It's like the Renaissance in here! I suddenly have been doing nothing but write, learn new songs, and draw pictures.
Don't ask to hear anything though!
How do I put this... When I write a song it's more like a diary entry or something of the sort. Odds are you will not be hearing it unless you think you are someone that I would let read my diary. And even then maybe not! Because not only is it a diary entry, but I'm also not that grand at singing. Feel free to wait until I am famous though!
Anyways
Because of this sudden change in lifestyles, I often find myself awake at 1 or 2 feeling like a superhero. I often find myself proclaiming out loud to myself things that would sound good or that are clever. It's a nice self esteem booster!

Well that's part of what I have been up to lately. Honestly, I can't believe you actually read that! How embarrassing.

Sunday Mournings

Every other weekend, my beautiful day of rest is interrupted.

CRASH
Thud Thud,
Thud, Thud, Thud Thud Thud.

That is what it sounds like, almost exactly. Except that it repeats constantly with random yells in between every few sounds. This is because every other weekend I choose to spend the night in an old house I swear is haunted on the edges of Pleasant Grove.
Not really.
This is actually because of the 4 terrible, atrocious, obnoxious, rotten, disastrous baboons that have been married into the family. Every one of them with their own unique way of causing corruption.

1. Logan, 14, is probably the best. I've got to love him. He's the oldest and he's finally figuring out what makes his siblings so dreadful, and he's fixing it. The only note to complain about with him is the smothering...  He sometimes just won't leave me alone! But then again who would at his age? I am pretty (cough, cough) awesome.
2. Nathan, 13, is a total angel. Nathan is quiet and keeps to himself, he is very intellectual and enjoys simply learning on the discovery channel. But there is a drawback... he is only like this if he is alone and none of his brothers or sister are around. Therefore, (because they always are together) he is a demon as well, and never gets to act the way I wish he would all the time. So instead of that, you could say his job is to provoke. All he does is egg his brothers and sister on until they get mad and start to fight, then he dips out and watches. He's ruthless!
3. Hayden, 11, I could never see him again and be happy! Hayden is the worst out of all 4, the super villain. He takes joy in making up stories so his siblings, and I!, get in some sort of trouble. There is no other way to put it then to label him (cough, cough) (undisclosed insult). He is also very good at "tattle-telling". Seriously though, he will tell on his brothers and sister when they are arguing and he isn't even involved. It drives me up the wall. And someday, when I simply can't take it anymore, he will get what is coming to him. Maybe in the summer I'll hold him down and soak him with the hose until he cries; not include him in some fun activity I include his family in; or maybe I'll just start making up stories about him! That will show him.
4. Elizabeth, 10, where to begin with her... How about she is a 10 year old girl? Has anyone ever found a 10 year old girl that you can stomach being around? I mean, she thinks she's the Queen of England or something! This morning (while laying in bed wishing they would disappear), she started screaming and crying because it was someone else's turn to watch the television.... Seriously? Women...

Oh well, I am up at a decent hour. That's always a good when I threaten to sleep until 5 in the afternoon. Maybe I will go longboarding again while I still have the longboards that were borrowed yesterday!

Surrender

Defeat

Embarrassment; Breakdown; Destruction; Collapse

yet...

Triumph!; Excitement; Hopefulness; Euphoria, even.

For a while now I have been reading blogs that some of my friends have.

I tell myself,

"I could probably do that, it would be fun".

"Would I even be interesting"?

"I definitely spend enough time online for that".

"Who cares about what I think"?

"Who would want to read all of my ramblings"?

Well...

You're reading this aren't you? That is enough for me.

Don't expect too much though, as this is the first blog-type thing I have ever attempted.

Ever.

I mean, I didn't even do that journal stuff as a kid (as much as I now wish that I did).

Anyways...

I guess you can just come here on all those boring days/nights that you usually just sit on Facebook. You know what I'm talking about. When you should be paying attention in school; doing your job at work; writing that paper; or sleeping. Who knows, this blog could become a place of sanctuary; better than Facebook, but who am I kidding? I have no idea how this blog will turn out.

Hopefully I don't forget about it...

If more than a week ever goes by without a post YELL at me, I deserve it.
