Awesome

Yesterday was UFC 118 it was pretty darn amazing, we went and watched at a "sports grill" it's one of my favorites, their food is amazing. Ok not amazing, but I do like it a whole lot, it's probably a good thing that UFC fights aren't often, because if I ate the food there more, I would probably be fatter than I already am. The night was pretty awesome, much like the fights, except the fact that on the way home I was almost destroyed by a drunk driver. Things were good after that until we dropped Daryk off, and then we almost hit a drunk girl that thought she would enjoy staggering out into the middle of the road where my car was driving, luckily I have amazing reflexes and I was able to stop before splattering her on the hood of my car.

Today, church, another Awesome, I decided to go to church with my good friend Ben he's a good guy, and we are pretty good friends. Sacrament meeting was pretty good, a little boring but not to bad. Announcements were made after the meeting, where it was announced that we would be eating right then! Ben and I looked at ourselves and thought either this is the definition of apostasy or we have gone to the wrong church and found the Baptist church of Lindon. But turns out that's just how this ward rolls, we got some muffins, bagels and some fruit and we were set for the next hour and a half of learning about marriage and how we are supposed to do it.

Is it just me or do I seem to young for marriage, there is no way I could handle making that kind of commitment. Not to mention, who would marry me? I'm a mess! I think to much, I overanalyze, I'm a walking psychological issue that seems to have no cure. Oh yeah, lest we forget, my soul is sold to the Pleasant Grove pool and for some reason others don't understand my love for that place (my wedding reception will be there, cross your fingers). Oh well, maybe someday I will grow out of that and that will be the day that I might be ready for marriage, but until then, can we please hold the talks on marriage and dating and courting, it's kinda freaking me out A LOT! Don't get me wrong I would love to have a best friend of the female type, and maybe after a little dating I would be ready, but yeah, let's stop freaking me out please.

The in between

I don't like this, not one bit! I feel like it's still summer, and for me it is still summer, i get to sleep in, i get to work at the pool, i get to party when i want, and i don't have to do homework. BUT.... all of my friends are in school, they don't get to do all the fun things, so i get stuck at home taking worthless naps and watching worthless t.v. which is melting my mind into a worthless pile of pudding!

School is overrated, ok that's a lie, but it is really inconvenient! i kinda just wish that my friends could go to my school, or i could go to theirs so that we could party all the time, but alas my fate lies at Brigham Young University where i am destined to fail and be a minimal statistic on the campus of thousands, to bad i don't have friends there. Maybe that will be my goal! i will try to make one friend in each class (i've set goals like this in the past and they never work but this time will be different) ok yeah it probably won't but i'll give it a try.

So friends, who don't go to my school, don't forget me!!! I'm not one of the lame BYU students that thinks they're to good for everyone else, i want to still be friends, so please stick around!!

been a while

It's been a long time since i last wrote, ok not that long but still i haven't really written in a few days. Some fun things have happened!

Sunday=Awesome, we went to lances homecoming, he was the last speaker after 3 young women's leaders that were released the day before. As you can guess he wasn't given that much time to speak at all. But he did a stellar job *props to lance. After his homecoming talk we (mandi and i) went to jameson's house, it was fun! we played checkers, and tic tac toe, and chess (kinda) haha and we looked at the bunnies and the cows, their names are beef and steak! (mmmmm i love steak). When lances church was over we had a luncheon at his house, it was yummy, and fun! Then i got to relax, until 9:00 then lance came up and we watched forever strong! I want to play rugby, it would be fun, and hey let's face it i'm beautiful enough (inside joke) to play rugby! Oh and then guess what!! it was revealed to me that i was going to jail!! yep Prison, it'll be awesome since it's for sure happening, (hahahaha yeah right) maybe while i'm there i can shave my head and be completely bald, and i'm a big guy so i'll fit right in HAHA (inside joke again)

Today: well i got to do maintenance this morning, it was fun minus the fact that last night the wind pushed all the pool covers into one giant ball for us to untangle and fix! Oh and yeah pool vacuum systems aren't light weight, and i wouldn't recommend lifting them with your back, otherwise you could be icing your back like me!!! Today was monday, monday is 75 cent grilled cheese day at Sammy's which may be one of my new favorite places on earth! while we were there i got to meet sammy, yep THE sammy, he wanted to be friends on facebook and i was like yeah! for sure! i don't think you'll send me to prison, so why not!? haha

Work: it was awesome, super chill, and it wasn't hot outside either! and then we did a record time closing and putting covers on! not to mention, the guards working today were some of my favorite!! it was definitely the A team tonight!!

Cereal, The Breakfast of Champions

I love Cereal, it is pretty much one of my favorite food groups! Yes, i said food groups, because i feel it falls into it's own category of greatness!!!

Some of my favorites include: (but are not limited to)

Cheerios (no sugar)

Corn Flakes (no sugar)

Rice Crispys (no sugar)

Frosted Flakes

Frosted Flakes Gold

Crunchy raisin bran

Wheaties

Wheaties Fuel

Life

Lucky Charms (i wish they could make them without the mallows)

Fruity Pebbles

Cap'n Crunch with crunch berries

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Cookie Crisp

Honey Comb

Apple Jacks

Coco Puffs

I'm pretty sure i could eat cereal all day, for any meal, at any time, anywhere

I love the rain!

Today was awesome! private lesson in the morning was great, and then i came home and went to the AFFC with amy, we lifted weights and swam a pretty good work out! I love working out, it's like a drug, it makes you feel good and it's addictive!

I was dreading going to work, not because i hate work but because sometimes i don't like the responsibility that is there. I got to work and there was rain and thunder and lighting! We waited for an hour but guess what!? we got to close!! so i had the evening free. Miss Mandi, Cree and I went to cabelas to get my money back for the overpayment on the fishing pole i bought yesterday. We had a good time there, we sat in the recliners (which are mossy oak break up pattern) It was awesome, and then the mean speaker voice said we had to leave because it was 9:00, but it's ok because we had been there for a long time and we had already seen everything we wanted to see. I decided Cabela's is like disney land, except better because you don't have to pay to go in, and everything isn't way way way overpriced. I LOVE CABELAS

I had some great ideas at cabelas, like the fact that i want to decorate my room in mossy oak break up! it would be awesome, no one would be able to find my room because it would be camoflaujed haha

Sometims the world just needs more finger mustaches

Lance is home, and it's decided; I HATE growing up

it's true, he is, i saw him with my own two eyes. He's back, it's weird because i'm now bigger than him and it is just different from when we were friends before. He is still in weird missionary mode, and i wouldn't be surprised if he thinks i'm a total apostate sinner. (he would probably be right).

We talked tonight and kinda hung out, there wasn't much to do but we got to talk. Our talking made me think, i don't know why but i'm not that excited for the future, i don't really know how i feel about this whole, "be a grown up" thing. I wish it could just stay june-august 2010 forever, i love my life right now! i'm happy, but i can feel the darkness and loneliness of fall creeping into my thoughts. it would be so nice if i could stay at the pool, a place where people are friends, where i feel comfortable being me, and a place where people seem to care that i exist. I feel like the pool is my never never land, it is an oasis where i don't have to grow up, and where i can do whatever i want and have fun whenever i want. So i guess i'll go to bed and tomorrow i'll take the second street to the left and straight on till morning (or at least the p.g. pool) my own never never land will be there at least till september.

(sorry to you few who read this, i know this is a little emo'ish)

So it's midnight

I think this is when i do my most important thinking! i'm sitting here watching ski movies on youtube and on the t.v. and i've come to a conclusion! I will begin NOW to diet and work out so that i can be in the best shape possible for ski season this year! i don't want my fat out of shape self to get in the way of me throwing myself off of cliffs, and going down runs that are way out of my league! i want to have my common sense be the only thing stopping me!

So yeah kinda random, but it's INSPIRATION

fun things and snow dreams

Yay!! i finally got to see trevor today, he got married in january. We used to be best friends, we did everything together all through high-school and even into our first year of college. However, since his marriage he seems to have disappeared from the planet earth! He called me up the other day and asked if i wanted to go golfing with him today, and so i said "meh, why not" i hadn't golfed since 2 weeks after my mission so i was a little nervous but i did alright i think... I was happy and i had fun, that's all that really matters (and i got to see trevor for the 3rd time since his wedding).

I was blessed with the opportunity of working 5-8 today, and it was a good time, we only had 7 lifeguards scheduled when we need a minimum of 8 (thanks verdon haha) we eventually got things figured out and the day went off without a single problem. It was water zumba tonight, i don't know if you've ever seen that but i would highly recommend you do, it's rather.....ummm.....how do i put it.......AWESOME! it's hilarious, props to those who do it but it's kinda funny looking to those who watch.

There was a party tonight but it was the head front desk ladies party so i didn't have to stick around I took off and went to visit lance's parents who are stoked that he is coming back, i am too, but nervous too. I went back to find out that the party was the party from he!! (sorry i abandoned you mandi, mckay, and kirsten I love you guys) but i went back to do covers and heard all the adventurous tales of terror. It got me kinda nervous for the lone peak party on the 25th i hear that that one is TERRIBLE! they have to bring their own police officers!!

I wonder who grows up and thinks, hey i think i'll be a cop for moronic high-school trouble makers?

Now i'm sitting here watching a ski movie, pathetic i know, it's only august and i'm already dreaming of this season and all it will bring, hopefully much snow, many good times, a season pass, and much progression in my skills and enjoyment of the sport! I LOVE SKIING! i wish it could be summer down here but

perfect powder days in the mountains ALL THE TIME.

If anyone wants to give me 500 dollars to buy my dream fatty ski set up i wouldn't mind.....

Well tomorrow i have to get up at 5:30, i don't know how i feel about that........ ok yeah i do know exactly how i feel about it, IT SUCKS!!

I love the cabin

Last night i got to drive up to my families cabin! i love it up there it is probably my favorite place in the whole world (at least for now) but really, it is so awesome up there. i chopped down 2 trees with an axe! (none of that wussy chain saw crap) in the process i skinned the top of my big toe with the axe, and i pulled down 1 tree and found out it was connected to 2 others as they came crashing down on top of me haha no worries I'm still alive! Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and i had to drive down tonight so that i can go back to a private lesson/head guarding tomorrow.

While i was up there i decided something, i really wish i was a cowboy, it would be awesome! I think i was born in the wrong decade and wrong lifestyle! Live out on the range, ride around whenever and wherever, live out of your saddle, hunt what you see, sleep where you want, and do whatever you want! I think it sounds like the life. I also kinda wish i was a farmer, or at least grew up on the farm, both of those lifestyles intrigue me I want to do hard work but the type of freedom associated with those two lifestyles seems amazing so yeah, i wish i were a cowboy and if anyone knows how i can do that, please let me know!

the best party of the summer!!

So today at work was awesome, first off we had a good day at public swim, spencer had a sick save!! (Go Spencer) at 8:15 the party began, it was a ward so i was expecting just a normal every day ward party, but no this was to be much much more!! around 9:15 the rest of the ward takes off, leaving just one family, and this family was going to get every minute out of the 2 hours that they could, and i mean every minute, even though the weren't in the pool they insisted that they sit in lawn chairs until exactly 10:15 on the dot!! it was awesome. oh did i forget to say that miss mandi and hayden and i made pb&j's for dinner? with fruit preserves of the home made brand! it was awesome, such a good day!! now i get to go to my families cabin to enjoy the rest of the weekend!! YAY

first things first

Hey, look at this i started a blog. I did this a while ago and somebody made fun of me, well forget them! the way i see it this is just a journal (which the prophet has asked us to keep) but on the computer (which is better because you can type and you don't have to find a pen or pencil) But anyways, i am starting this blog because my friend miss mandi said it would be a good idea.

So let's start with what's on my mind; Summer is almost over :( I love the summer time, i love working at the pg pool, in fact yesterday i was supposed to get off at 5 but i sat around and talked with katie till 10 just because i love the pool and i don't have anything better to do, that brings up the next subject on my mind. Matt left on his mission on wednesday, it's kinda sad but really happy at the same time. I know from my own mission that he is going to have a blast and he'll probably love it, however that doesn't make it any less sucky for me! We were good friends and now he is gone, it kinda stinks. But once again him leaving leads to another thing to think about. Lance gets home on Tuesday!!! holy crap! i can't believe he's coming home. to be completely honest I'm kinda nervous, what if he's changed, what if i changed, what if we don't get along anymore? i hope we do, before his mission we were really good friends, and by that i mean, we were practically brothers! we lived at each others homes and lived with each others families (speaking of which i have to return the axe i borrowed from his parents 3 weeks ago oops) anyways, i'm nervous about how things will turn out. I hope they will be like they used to, i don't have to many friends these days and one more would be tremendous!! While on the subject of friends it has come to my attention that i hang out with people that are younger than me (not in a pedophilic way) and not even really outside of work, but for a while i was kinda embarrassed about it, however now I'm thinking "what does it matter to everyone else? as long as I'm having fun that's what's important to me!!"

Anyways those are just some of the things on my mind today
