This one goes out to my imploring fan. Whit, I am talkin to you. It has been nearly a month, perhaps a little over a month since my last blog. As I said, life does go on. Some days it seems to be a little slower at going on than others, but nonetheless it goes go on. I had "fall break" this week. It wasnt really a break from school so much as a break from work. Honestly it was supremely refreshing, and I enjoyed every ounce of it. But Alas, the glory comes to an end and next week we continue onward.
In other news I made a decision that I missed my facial hair so much that I am now growing out a mustache. I am sure that most men are now saying "sweet" or "rock on", while most women are thinking "disgusting" or "nasty". To be honest, this is part of the reason that I determined the 'stache would be a great call. I needed someway to silently protest my not so easily veiled disgust with the opposite sex. What better way than to proudly display a symbol of virility and manhood that dates back as far as the 70's. So yes women, I am saying "screw you" in a very polite and non-discriminatory way by growing the 'stache. Men, I invite all of you to join in with me.
I had an interesting weekend. I went to Logan to see one of my best friends, Marcus and his wife Lexi. It was a nice weekend, a great little getaway from Salt Lake, and a much needed break. I only wish it could have lasted longer. Back to the subject, married people have a sad habit of not allowing single friends to hang out with them while still remaining single. Enter the blind date. Now I am not a blind date hater, I have been on one or 2 great blind dates. But I can definitely understand why they are the most feared form of dating. Honestly, when you set someone up on a blind date you are basically telling them in a not-so-discreet way, "this is what I think of you." Sometimes it can be a compliment. Sometimes it can be a low blow. Its like saying this girl is an example of what I think is the best you can do. Lets just leave it at I was kinda hurt by what my friends think of me. No offense to the blind date, she was fun, and cute, but totally not my type. I guess I can't complain, it was just amusing to me, because you think you know someone.
Well, those are just some new stories so I can get my fan off my case. Hope all is well with you Whit, and someday I will have funny children to write about. Until then, its just my humorous life.

Intrestin'
Well, it has been some time since I have really blogged. Honestly its because I have had a stressful month and I didnt really want to publish my angst and woes for all to read. Good news, I think things are starting to level off a little, and things are calming down. Honestly it has been hellacious, but now that it is pretty much over, I can start to learn from it all. I think thats my favorite part, because its fun to look back. I have even gotten my sense of humor back. HAHA!
Today we had a little family get together. I spent the day with my pops, which is always a great time. He is an amazin fella, sometimes I wish things could go better for him, cause he tries so hard. Anywho, we went to the most amazing family eatery of all time in a little place called Chuck-A-Rama. I know, most of you have never seen an establishment of such class, but it does serve some purposes. First off is that it is a spectacular place for people watching. I don't know if I have had as much fun people watching ever before. We saw a few people who came to the 'Rama all by themselves. I mean really.. I feel like a complete moron when I eat Taco Bell by myself. But these guys had the guts to waltz into a family gathering mecca, and sit down at a booth ALL ALONE! Really people, who does that? Another great thing about the visit today was the crazy guy who would follow me around. We first met at the scone table. Simultaneously we reached for the tongs to get those warm pieces of bread. He yelled at me to watch out. At first I thought he was talking to someone else, but after the third time I realized his insults were directed at me. He then looked me square in the eye and said, ME and MY scone are havin' a PARTY, so WATCH OUT! I couldn't control myself. I laughed at him. Right in his face. It was the first time in my entire life I have been so rude. Ok, maybe not the first time, but the first time I remember. We then parted ways, all the while with me giggling. Shortly after, I was getting a nice tall glass of liquid refreshment, and he popped up behind me and started yelling, "BEHIND YOU! I'M BEHIND YOU!!". (One of those no Shiz Sherlocke moments. I figured that you were behind me because to be in front of me would be physically impossible!) When I turned around I quickly noticed that he was gone again. I never saw this man again, and to be frank, I am grateful. While he did provide a great comic relief, it was kind of intimidating to be threatened by some old vagrant.
In other news, School has sprung, and my life kinda sucks. I mean its ok, and it is nice to be learning again, but I am still in summer mode. its hard to do my paper. I think thats why my blog has been resurrected. Its a great way to keep from doing homework. School is fun, I have some cool classes, and since I am doing morning classes I kind of get more of the feel of what its like to be in real college. It is interesting. I think I will be a much more active dater this semester than ever before, but that is for varying reasons. Those will come in later episodes, as I am still not quite sure what all of them are.
Well, just a quick note and update. All is well in Zion and Zion prospereth. I will catch all 2 of you later!

A Bittersweet symphony and its my Life!
It has been a while, and honestly I really have been thinking hard about something to blog about, but it has been hard. My life has been moving really fast and crazy, but for some reason nothing too noteworthy sticks out. Oh, and just so everybody knows, I think my whole last blog was a lie. I haven't grown up at all, and I don't know that things worked out like I thought they would. But hey, life goes on brah, life goes on.
So Today I quit my job. It was the longest I have ever had a job, and it has pretty much been one of the only constants in my life since I came home from my mission. Hence the bittersweet symphony. I mean, I'm not going to lie, I loved leaving that place. Nevertheless, I will miss certain parts of it too. I made some good friends there and my job instilled in me the good habit of waking up early. I know, it hurts me to say its a good habit too, but I really think it is. The job has also given me a great means and was a stupendous boost for me to get started out with. I realized this summer though, that my life wasn't really going in the direction I wanted it to be. and after a whole summers worth of thinking I determined that quitting my job and going to school full time would be the answer to most of my problems. Looking back, I am an idiot. Still, I have made a decision and I feel good about it, so gung ho I go. Maybe I will wind up broke and sleeping in Pioneer park in October, or maybe, just maybe things will work out like I planned them to, and life truly will get better.
I also noticed that my blog has turned from its funny light that it used to be. I think it is a reflection of my life. I haven't been thinking of irony or satire in a long time, so I promise that I am going to be ironic and satirical for the rest of this week so that I may gain some ammo for the blog of the century. Anyway, I have the next little while free of work and ready to play with people, so if anybody gets lonely and wants to chill, just give me a ring. If you have my number that means I will chill with you, if you don't, well ask, maybe I am feeling generous. I feel really scared and really happy at the same time right now, Its kind of exciting not knowing what lays in front of me. It is a feeling I haven't had for about a year now. Last time I kinda let things go to waste, so now I know a little better that I need to take advantage of life as it comes at me, and to let things happen, and not force them to happen my way. Life is on the uphill slide, and I am looking forward to the challenge!

What an Odd Life I Live.
Hey guys, you know me. Its almost one and so I decided that Sleeping is overrated. No just kidding, I decided that since only the people whom I care about and whom I assume care about me read this I would give them a little update.
As you can tell by my previous posts, I have been having somewhat of a crisis lately, or perhaps it wasnt all that evident, but I was FREAKIN out. I am happy to report that as of tonight most of my problems are either resolved or back to a level where I can coherently deal with myself and my sanity. I just wanna say how evident it has been made to me that the Lord is in our lives and knows each one of us on a personal basis. It was honestly one of the worst and best nights of my life tonight. haha, I feel like I am probably the only person laughing about it, (maybe you K-dawg, but doubtful). I had a super interesting experience and a first for me. I love human interaction, but I hate participating in it. Honestly It was a really good thing, and I feel like I did a LOT of growing up. I learned a lot about myself, and learned that Love is something much more than one dimensional, and that for love to be unconditional, it has to go beyond our own desires. It really is better to love and lose than to never love at all. haha, I feel all sappy and like a chick flick, but it has been one of those nights, and I really have debated about writing about it, but I need to let everyone know. Life is good, and I know that the Lord has a good plan for me and for all of us. Look at me getttin all emotional and religious. Very atypical. but it feels good to be me and let everybody else decide. I am a good guy, and I dont care if you think different. HAR HAR! Ok, I am out, I have much more to say, but no desires to type it out, if you wanna talk, call me, I will chat your ear off.

Early blog
Hey all, I know this is a rare occasion, I am bloggin in the PM, but you know, I have to work tomorrow. Anywho, I was spending some time with 2 of my favorite people this weekend, namely Corbin and Aimee Smith, and they let me know that they are true fans of the blog, so this one goes out to them. They complained that I don't write enough, even though I think I write just as much as them. So I will tell you all about my week this week. It has been a very interesting one to say the least.
This week was one of those weeks when I spent more time thinking about my life and things in general than doing anything else. It was funny because I felt like a teenage girl. One second I was really happy and exciting about everything, and the next I felt like I needed to cry. Monday was a decent day, I didn't have to work, which is always awesome. I basically just did chores around the house and cleaned up after my roommates. I never realized how dirty I was until I finally had to clean up after myself. To be frank, I am disgusting. (Ladies don't read too much into that, I can change). Continuing, that night I couldn't sleep. I had lots on my mind. Things that I prefer not to blog because it could get messy. Then on Tuesday I had to wake up at 6 and go to work again. It was one of the hardest days in a long time. I worked for like 2 hours and then I came home and slept until 2. It felt good at the time, but it worked out that I couldn't sleep on Tuesday night either because of the previous eternal nap. Then came the 4th of July. In my previous blogs I talked a little about being American, but let me say it again, I love this country and I am dang freaking proud to be from here. I love the songs and the decorating, and the spirit that is felt around the 4th. It seems like everybody is a little more friendly and everybody just wants to have a good time. I love barbecues, and fireworks and the FREAKING NATIONAL ANTHEM. Needless to say, the 4th was like the best day this week by far. I had a family reunion in the morning that was pleasantly nice. I came expecting the worst and got a fairly good time out of it. It was good to see the fam and spend time with everybody. After that we went to Sugar House and watched some firecrackers. It was a fantastic evening, and I thoroughly enjoyed the people who I was with. After that I had a fairly boring weekend, but It was nice to take a little time off and just have some me time to continue pondering life's great riddles. Which seem to become more complex and never have an end. Pandoras box I tell ya.
Well there is a blog for you Aim and Corb. Hope your happy. And to anyone else who reads this, give me a shout out if you want a dedicatory blog. PEACE, cause I gots to work.

Bluh
Well, I haven't written anything in a while, in part because of my laziness, and in part because not much has been happening in the way of note-worthyness. It just seems like my day to day life is quite boring, but what happens in my head is like going a gagillion miles per second. I dont know, but recently I became quite introspective. While sometimes I do like to reflect on myself and my current state. I feel like I do it like 3 or 4 times a day lately. Oddly enough my opinion of myself changes almost as much as I think about how I am doing. Its odd because really I have nothing to complain about, I have a great job, I'm not even going to school right now, I have great friends, and they provide me with plenty to do, but for some reason I feel the need to change. The problem right now isn't that I am opposed to change, its just that I can't seem to pinpoint what it is that I need to change. Trust me, it is one of the most frustrating things in my life! So I have decided to write and write until maybe something comes to mind.
Moving along, I had a pretty busy weekend last weekend. I got Friday off of work, and I went on a rafting adventure with my ward. It was a lot of fun, and a great change of pace. I got to know a lot of people that I had seen before, but only chatted with. It was great because it reminded me how much I like getting to know people and that I shouldn't be so shy all the time. It seems like I am more shy now than I was before my mission. Another conundrum. Someday I will understand myself, and then I will learn to understand other people. I hope that someday is sooner rather than later. Other than that I have just been chillin. I have a great streak almost 2 months long now of seeing a movie in the theatre every weekend. Tonight I watched Live Free or Die Hard, and to be honest it was refreshing. Obviously it was completely unrealistic, and lacked any sense of a plot, but all in all it was nice to know that there still are Bad A** people out there who don't take shiz from anybody, even if they are fictional. It's great to see the good guy blow everything up and shoot himself to kill the bad guy. For some reason I feel like there is something profoundly American about it. This is a great weekend to feel American. I don't know that I was proud to be an American before my mission, but honestly living somewhere else really makes you appreciate home. When I think of Francis Scott Key writing, it is crazy to me. He was writing about an Ideal then, and while I agree that the United States is far from the perfect nation that it was envisioned to be, I can honestly say that there is nowhere else I would rather be, any day of the week, at any point of my life. Where else can I freely write about what a crock everything is, and not be punished for doing so? America is great! and life is getting better every day! Blogging is a cure to whatever ails you mentally, I hope that everyone can detect my change of mood just by writing random things. I am sure that this doesn't flow at all, but I don't care because it did what it was supposed to. Hallelujah!

40 days and 40 nights!
Ok so it hasn't been that long since I last used the internet, but by jove it feels like it sometimes. I had forgotten the soothing nature of the beast that is blogging. Secretly I wondered why I felt like I had so many pent up emotions. Then I realized that its because I haven't had my normal recourse of venting to no one. haha! Anywho, not too much is new, Just livin the dream as my boss puts it. I guess that this is just an update until I have something newer and more exciting to say. so, PAZ AFUERA!
