New Goal

Be like Hugh Newmann!

I feel like life is just too short to spend it being down, and theres just too many people in the world that need cheering up, and I want to be that person! As a kid I always tended to be the negative child, and I think its time to turn that around. I figure if its a good change - the happier those people around me are, the happier I can be!

The bane of my StarCraft II existance!

Well, today has been rather.... relaxing? Thats an understatement; I'm pretty sure I've been sitting in the same spot all day since I got back from church! Thanks to Bizzle, I got my hands on a StarCraft II beta key, which turned out to be pretty darn fun! Downside? You're pretty dependent on your teammate, most of which completely suck - joy! So after an afternoon of getting pwnt by the Protoss Void Ray and the other beta-testers, my ego has be substantially bashed.

Currently there is nothing on TV, theres nothing to do online, and I'm really starting to get hungry, but I don't know that I really even have anything in my cupboard to eat..... I'm in rough shape! Thank goodness Mikelle finally comes home tomorrow! Having her gone for a week 'n a half has really taught me how dang important it is for guys to have their girls with them - the girls are what keep us on track, and sane! Just one more day and I get her back.... finally!

What happenings?

Well now.... ironic that I've named this "The happenings...." when really I haven't posted ANY happenings at all - almost two years and no posts, boy that's lame. Well, its time for me to quit being a slacker and update this thing! Mikelle writes in her journal every day, so I figure I can at least get SOMETHING down on here every day.

Now, for the thousands of you out there wondering "What amazingly inspirational event has inspired this truly magnificent man to start writing again?" Well let me tell you first that Good things can come in small packages! I was recently stalking slickdeals.net and found an amazing deal on a net-book. I'd been debating whether to buy one for months, but I finally pulled the trigger, and boy I'm not disappointed! Weighing in at a whopping 2lbs and having a 12" screen, this thing is going to be perfect for classes! I figure since I spent the money on the computer, I need to at least be productive with it while I'm not in class, so I'm dedicating myself to writing here now.

So, in other news, sadly the last week I've been left to fend for myself while Mikelle has been on vacation. So while she's been playing in the Havasupai village, I've been forced to fend for myself and keep myself entertained, which has oddly enough been more difficult than I ever could have thought! Hours work, games, and the occasional visit to some buddies has kept me entertained. Needless to say, It would be amazing to be at that waterfall - cool water, warm rocks, hot girlfriend with me! A fella can dream can't he? Instead, I've slowly turned myself into this guy.

Its OK though - while I may be a disgusting blob, at least I have plenty of padding to keep myself warm while its snowing outside. Plus, oddly enough all those fat roll make a great cup-holder for my Rt44 Diet Dr. Pepper with vanilla and easy ice!

Alright, well I've babbled enough and I think I've accomplished my goal of writing at least something on this dang blog! Only two more days and these posts will get a bit more coherent, because I'll finally have gotten to see my girl after the week and a half of driving myself insane. Mikelle - come hoooooooommmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Uhh... woops

So, that was a great way to start off, eh? Make a goal to write every week and skip my first chance to write - all right! I rock! Anyways, This week is thanks giving and I'm pretty stoked about getting to go back home to see my family and what not. Plus, theres no school! Yeah! Bummer is right whne i get back i start a bunch of midterms 'n stuff. I'm not really too excited about that. Anyways, I've got to get back to my rigorous work schedule... yeah for thousands of letters... every day... for the rest of my life... yeah... sweet.. giggidy...

I'm a slacker!

So, it's my guess now that after two months, those few that actually read this thing are long gone, but hey, its worth updating a little bit. I'm currently sitting at work (which is oh so exciting, let me tell you), and got to checking everyone else's blogs, and so I'm making a resolution now to make at least one post a week. Then, if nothing else, I've got something of a journal for myself, woot!

P.S. BRANDON AND BRI YOU'RE MARRIED AND STUFF! GO YOU! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
P.S.S. If you stay in St. Louise to play ball rather than come out here and game with me, I will find you, and you might mysteriously come up missing, so take that into consideration.
P.S.S.S. I might not be strong enough to carry you to the car, so if you're willing to walk out to the trunk for me, that'd be great, thanks!

And it could all be yours...... if the Price is Right!

After five days of nothing but fun, I felt it fitting to write a little blog and give a shout-out to my girl, Hannah Shirley!

Hannah flew out this week to visit, and it was amazing! We did everything from the beach, Third-Street Promenade and Six Flags: Magic Mountain to Grauman's Chinese Theater and a recording of the Price is Right! Heck, while we were on Hollywood Blvd she even convinced me to buy myself a new man-purse for a backpack up at school. I was reluctant, but heck, when ya got a girl like Hannah tellin you how amazing it looks, I guess I didn't really have a choice, right?

I feel bad - I know I really need to write more on here, but I'm honestly runnin a blank after having woken up at 4:30a.m. to get in line for the 4p.m. taping of the Price is Right, so I'm pretty beat. I have to admit, Hannah, you've made a fan out of me! I'm day-dreaming as we speak of winning the Showcase Showdown! We've TOTALLY got to do it again during winter semester! Spring Break 2009! Ooo oooo!!!! *hands in the air*

Hannah! We're gonna miss you up at BYU while you're rockin out in Scotland with Coldplay!

Always remember - me and the lobster head love you!

Its about time, right?

Wow, it sure has been a long time! Finally I have something worth writing about, heh. Anyways, So far the summer has involved working and chillin. Really nothing too exciting, and thats why my stupid blog doesn't have a dang thing on it.

Anyways, right now I'm up in Richfield, Utah for a fishing trip with my brother and my dad. It's really been amazing so far, and I've only been here for two days! It's been over two years since I've been to the lake and thats making it even more amazing.

Today we went out to 7-mile stream and caught 40-somethin fish - not too shabby. This really is paradise though... Beautiful blue skies, wide open meadows, streams, and wildlife. Heres just a few pictures of the trip so far. I'll try and take some pictures of the little critters up here. Ah, vacation is wonderful!
