Up-dizzle

First off I've decided that kix cereal is one of the worst cereals ever made. I mistakenly bought it and only find it appealing when i wake up in the middle of the night, starving.

Well to sum up the past couple months, its been a little roller coaster ride--mostly the part where you're screaming and plummeting downhill, but then, luckily, come up right before you crash. (good analogy, eh?)

My little bro left to go on his mission--Ogden, Utah! So not too far from here... My fam dropped him off at the MTC, where we bawled our eyes out. I'm just so proud!! haha

Then I began wonderful school once again. So naturally, I have homework coming out of my ears!! It's keeping me biz. But that more or less sums up the last month or so.


"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

FINALLLLY!

So after hours and hours of working on my blog instead of doing my homework (good thing school started or else I would never have found the motivation to do this) it is complete. I think. So if you tried to go to my blog this past week and it said you weren't invited...don't worry, it was just a false alarm.

Paris for President??

Usually I'm not into debating politics with people because I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and it tends to be a touchy subject. But Heather showed me this video this morning and I thought it was hilarious, so I had to share.

You may or may not have seen McCain's ad against Obama where he compares him to Paris and Britney. If not, you can watch it below. Well Paris responded with her own ad, which i've also included. I don't really like Paris Hilton, but its funny. Good old Paris...







And here's the link for Paris's...I couldn't get the code to work:

Love Is Not Blind

Blind dates and Provo, UT. Its almost like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Let me give you a general rundown of how this tends to happen. One day, you're innocently chatting it up with a friend, coworker, cousin, whoever, who is more than likely married or in a serious relationship. Everything is going well and the line comes: "I have someone I want to set you up with". Oh hell. But usually you smile and say: "oh really? who?"

Now it gets tricky. You know this person has your best intentions in mind. And although you're prefectly content being single and really not looking for anyone, they are just trying to help. Common mistake. So as to not hurt any feelings, cause awkwardness, and really because you have no reason not to, you agree to being set up.

I have gone on my fair share of blind dates. I'm not sure why...but people just LOVE to set me up! Now, i'm not saying they have all been horrible. I've gone out with guys who are super nice, super great, they just aren't my type, there's no spark and I can't pretend like there is. My question is how can there be? You just met in a forced manner. Its awkward and so unnatural. You're total strangers, so you act in a way that is appropriate which is very surface-level-almost fake-blah blah blah. Needless to say, i've never had a blind date that turned into anything more.

So recently, my boss wanted to set me up with his neighbor. I decided to take my boss's advice and play a little "joke" on the guy. We go up to Sundance and ride the ski lifts, just chat it up and what not. Then we go to CPK and the following conversation takes place:
Date: "what's one thing that people might not know about you?"
Me: "well...I have a kid." *His eyes widen and maybe stops breathing for 1/2 a second
Me: "yeah...it was a long time ago, I was young...he lives with his dad back in arkansas and so I see him when I go home in the summers and over christmas. I wanted to give him up for adoption, but the father wanted custody. I figured its best that way, bc i'm able to keep living my single life out here and have fun."
Date: "Yeah...So is he married now?"
Me: "No, not that I know of...."
Me: "you're totally freaked out now, aren't you?"
Date: "oh, no, i just never would have guessed that!"
Me: "yeah...kinda crazy... So what about you?!"

Now that is funny. I think I pulled it off nicely and when he dropped me off I told him it was a joke. But I figured, so long as I'm going on these dates, I might as well have a little fun with it!

Much Too Long

Update. First of all, I love summer. Just thought i'd throw that in. I love wearing shorts. i also love being a freezing cold building and then walking outside and its so hot and sunny and wonderful and it just warms you right up! Its great. Another great thing that has nothing to do with summer is Watermelon flavored Bubblelicious gum. yummy

On another note, I'm back in provo. Good ol' Provo. Back at work and basically no one's here! So its been a boring few days, but i will survive. I'm glad I got to go home for a while though. It was some good times.

Also, a few of my friends unfortunately floated the Provo river yesterday, and apparently it was the worst experience of their life. I didn't go because I was working, otherwise I would have been a victim as well. I mean it was a pretty funny story. Its all fun and games till you try to get out of the river and the current sucks you away. Stacy showed up at my apt minus one flip flop and a pair of sunglasses, plus some mud, bruises and scratches. Poor little thing. Note to self: never float provo river. It is not worth it!
