For Your Information.

I am working on a huge blog about my vacation.
I'll probably be done with it tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Apparently You Can't Believe This Post. Because this is the Internet.

It is a cool 66 degrees here. I am wearing a light sweater. It is overcast with a 0% chance of precipitation. The weather in the desert doesn't make any sense.

We are going to the Stratosphere today to ride the rides they've got up there. Hopefully I'll throw up.

Tomorrow is going to be the best day for eating of the year thus far. I am overwhelmingly excited. All day I am going to be shoving food down my throat. I can't wait.

I couldn't find the Sufjan Stevens Christmas CD at the Best Buy here. The Best Buy website said that they had it. The Internet is a liar.

Some Things I Love, Briefly.

I love Las Vegas.
I love my family.
I love America.
I love my family.
I love my family.
I love my family.


A lot.

All Work and No Play.

I have been writing a paper all day. Instead of enjoying my vacation. I hate college a lot.

But tonite is going to be so fun. I love my family more than words could ever begin to express.

And then tomorrow one of my best buddies/cousins gets in town.
It is gonna be so crunk.

Viva Las Vegas.

I am in Las Vegas.

The drive was better than crappy but worse than good, you know? I don't necessarily mind having to do it again next weekend.

We didn't stop at the National Dinosaur Museum in New Mexico like I wanted to though. That would have made the road trip AWESOME.

I did use the bathroom in one of the jankest bathrooms in Arizona. I hate Arizona. There is nothing. Except for some cool Dinosaur statues along I-40.

I like I-40.

This is Probably More Than You'd Wanted to Know.

Things that have happened in 2006 in no particular order:

When Bailey turned 18 she had a party at her house. I had no job at the time and didn't get her anything and as a result, just tried to ride on Matt's gift. Dina got mad at me because I said that she broke Bailey's front door. I yelled at Bailey a lot and told Matt to take me home and he just said, "No. Walk." We danced in front of Bailey's house, in her entry way, and in her backyard to Gym Class Heroes, some good rap, and some swing songs. That was some of the most fun I've ever had.

Prom was sort of shitty. Everyone got mad at Bailey and me because we didn't want to pay like a million dollars to ride in the limo and because we wanted sushi and not Firebird's. After prom there was alcohol at Allie's so I went home. Matt followed suit shortly after.

Bailey and I kissed on a park bench for the first time on Cinco de Mayo this year. We're not really sure why or how, but it happened. This can be debated as to whether or not it was a good thing. The next day we talked about it for 5 hours on the phone.

This summer my best friend left for Idaho on June 26. That was a hard day. Not so much because he left, but because I knew that the good part of my summer was officially over. I congratulated him on his leaving and hugged him twice. Then I went to work and listened to Jack's Mannequin, Matisyahu, and Gym Class Heroes on my Mp3 Player all day. I cried that evening when I talked to Dina.

I applied to BYU, BYU-Idaho, and UofM. I got into all three. I got a full ride to the UofM. I brag about this a lot but it is probably the one thing in life that I would really like to change. I want so badly to go to BYU. But I can't right now. Maybe later. I hate Memphis. I love school but I really want to leave this town. I'm afraid of change but I feel like I need it. However, I am happy. Perhaps I'm not completely satisfied, but I am okay with my life situation.

I was really good friends with Kelby this year. He was thinking about becoming Mormon and when he didn't, he decided to sever all ties with me. I've seen him on campus twice and don't know what to say to him and as a result, have not spoken to him since the first week of July. This is both sad and embarrassing.

I went to the lake twice this summer. I got three watercraft tickets. That sucked. I also got one speeding ticket on June 6 on Kirby Whitten, and, as a result, I will get my licence suspended if I get one more.

My best friend came home for a weekend. I have already mentioned that in this blog.

I saw Les Misérables with my (then) girlfriend Bailey on July 14. We got sushi before and Sonic after.

I forgot Dina's birthday and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. We didn't speak for about a month. Things are not the same to this day. I completely take responsibility for this.

I had a New Year's Eve get together at my house. We played Scene It and drank sparkling apple cider. I thought I was going to kiss this girl on that night but I didn't.

I went to a barbecue put on by Shelby Yell with Dina, Matt, Bailey and Grant. There was a lot of arguing in the car before we got there. None of us really wanted to go but we somehow did anyway. Later, at Sonic, we saw Katie. She was barefoot and sad. I don't know why.

I spoke at my high school graduation. Afterward, I hung out with no one from my school. Rather, I played video games at Kelby's. I went to a party after Bolton's graduation. It was pretty crappy, and I left with Matt, Bailey, and Dina. We officially initiated ourselves into DB that night. Except for Bailey, that is. We went to Matt's and ate pank ice pops.

This year was nothing like I had expected it to be.
But I would change very, very little.

Please Save Us, Us College Kids.

I will be happier when this week is over.
And I will be even happier when this month is over.
And I will be even unbelievably happier when this semester is over.

I like that about right now. I'll appreciate the future much more.

Best Friends Does NOT Mean I Pull the Trigger.

I haven't updated in a while because the Internet in this house was not. So I'm out of the running for all the sweet NaBloPoMo prizes. Which is sort of a bummer, but I guess I knew it wasn't really realistic for me to be able to post every day.

My best friend was in town last nite. I slept on his couch. We stayed up late and talked. We laughed and joked and swore only a little. He is my best buddy. It was almost like he was gone for the weekend, instead of the five months he actually was gone. I thought things would be different, but they were not. And boy am I happy.



O, how great the goodness of our God.

It's Like a Blender.

School is crazy right now.
I have a rough outline due tomorrow, an exam on Friday, a quiz next Wednesday, and a 5-7 term paper I have to turn in next Thursday because I'll be out of town when it's due.

Bummer.

This month is going by so fast. I'm kinda happy about that because of vacation that's coming up next Friday. But I can't really breathe right now.

Thankfully, tonight 30 Rock and Top Chef come on. Those are some of my favorites.

My best friend is going to be here tomorrow. Hurrah.

Vote or Die (3).

I voted today for the first time in my life. It was not as exciting as I thought it would be. But it is blog-worthy nonetheless.

If you haven't voted yet, there's still time. Get on it.

If you're not voting, then I hope you enjoy your stay in hell. How dare you ignore the right that so many people died to secure. But then again, I guess they died so you could also be a lazy, apathetic waste of carbon.

If you did vote, then good for you. It feels good, right?

Right.
