DIK @ Yosemite (day 1 and day 2...)

THE DIK cast of characters...
Kaakun... took Irene out on multiple dates a while back (5 years ago).
David... took Irene out on multiple dates not so a while back (maybe 5 months ago?).
Irene... has been on multiple dates x2.

WED...
7pm I get there.
7:15 fire is finally rolling along... Its a good thing Larrie is not here to laugh at my poor fire making skills...
7:45.. despite the guaranteed verbal lashing due to poor firemaking... Larrie's company would be welcomed.
8:10... cold's presence would be welcome.
8:45...anyone's presence would be welcome.
9:00... Even Jessica's presence would be welcome now (this is purely poking the fire to get one JAHO comment). Two hours of fire poking by yourself = really bored Kaakun... and this time marked the beginning of "I hate Irene" time now.

TANGENT (maybe its a bit bitter of a tangent):
Really... I have no idea how come I am still in contact with Irene. It surprises me a lot actually. I liked her. I'm not sure why I liked her (Ok, thats not ENTIRELY true, some of these qualities were remembered while wondering why I was sitting in the middle of the woods by myself) b/c of the HUGE lack of common interests. (Yet we've done two "vacations" together hahaha.

But I realized a reason Larrie and I are still friends... she shows up to things when she says she will around/near that time.
END OF TANGENT.

Anyways...
9:30ish...hating Irene time is over and its "where the heck am I going to sleep by myself and what I'm going to do for breakfast since they have the tents and the food" time...

10:00 I find a volleyball... slap a bloody palm print on it. draw a face on it, create some hair from pine needles and call him Wilson.

10:15ish they show up. It's an angry/relieved moment to say the least...

This round part of the log in the middle wouldn't burn at all... It was probably the heart of Satan?


Thursday...
First thing in Yosemite Valley... hey I get reception here...in come a few texts... Can you hear me now? good.. Irene's T-mobile... is useless. Maybe useful as a time piece?

ME:"Hey Irene, I'll give you a dollar if you tap everyone of this bike train (that was about to pass by us) on the helmet.
(half the train is gone)
"50 cents since they're half gone...!"
(all gone)
"Larrie would have done it.

That marks the 2nd time Larrie's presence would have been welcomed.

We hiked to Mirror Lake...While on the tram... I was looking down at some feet in flipflops and thought...wow those feet are REALLY dirty... then I looked up and noticed that he was African-American... my bad.

After their wash and wax the car training earlier... they were now prepared

to learn the Crane kick...

Some random lady really liked our crane kick poses and shouted out that she took some pictures of us... I'm glad my knowledge of 80s pop culture can entertain strangers and be added to their vacation scrapbooks.

Then it was off to Sentinel Dome.
Some different random Lady: Do you have a picture of you sitting up there yet?
me: no.
Some different randomlady: give me your camera right now... I will take a picture of you.
me: oh uh... thanks.

It's a little chilly at 8122 feet.

6 miles of hiking done and done.

The Evolution of the D.I.K. Yosemite Trip..

Prelude: It seems everytime I and Larrie are together... we mention how we don't know why we're still friends. (well besides being totally freaking awesome but at least there are some overlapping interests...)Well, I REALLY don't know why Irene and I are still friends..

Feb/Mar? Irene is like.... want to hike the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim with me? I was like sure. I googled it.
It says most people do it in three days... I bet we could do it in two.
She was like I want to do it one.
I was like oooooh...

So Irene assembled a team to go on her death march. it was the DIKR Death March of 08. David/Irene/Kaakun/Rachelle. rad

Then the destination changed to Yosemite due to lack of funds... and lack of desire to die.

Then the roster had more changes than Britney Spears' marriage license.
David/Irene/Kaakun Rachelle Sarah
this lasted about a week. I was excited for this group.
David/Irene/Kaakun Rachelle, Sarah Molly.
another week... sure whatever.
Everyone then decided to recruit outside of Irene's family...
all we could come up with was;
David/Irene/Kaakun Rachelle, Sarah, Molly Brooke...
whatever (that lasted like a weekend)

So now its a DIK vacation... which i'm not sure about... (2 guys, one girl?! booo..) though I guess last year the ILK vacation was a bit trianglely... I was fine with it... it was also a lot cheaper on my end.

Sunday: Irene has an infected toe... yes.. my RN friend can't properly pop a blister... I suggested amputating but she seems to think that would make it worse.

Off to Yosemite...you all get a vacation from reading crappy posts. I hope I don't die. or that the DI portion of the trip don't die either... they posses the tent...

So with temperatures in the mid 60s... and crazy clear visibility... I wandered down to the beach.





Nothing around the pier.
















Nothing at the Dog Beach... but you can see Long Beach... Hi Long Beach.

































Darren and Sierra came down from Vegas. So we buried their dogs...


Thats the look of a THRILLED to be buried dog. Yeah... Darren and I can be jerks at times.

Dedicated To LRRMRF...SWEPT!!!

Red Sox Record Thursday night 31-19 best record in the AL
Tonight 31-22... and the Rays have the best record in the AL...

The high scoring Red Sox put up a lovely Memorial Day weekend line of .151/.218/.237

In other news I finally sat down and watched Sweeney Todd... it was entertaining. maybe a bit bloody... but by far the best movie about a barber I've seen in quite a while.

Weezer

You guys forgot the "what what in the butt" people....

Sports Saturday...

So tonight the Stanley cup finals start tonight at 5. Its by far the coolest championship trophy. (not some stupid $25,000 lump of silver made by Tiffany & Co...)The Red Wings have made the playoffs every year since 1991.

I must say I am a tad bit jealous... how do they build a playoff worthy team without the help of lottery picks? Which how the Penguins got here... Staal/Crosby/Malkin/Fleury

Free Agents- 9 players
trade- 4 players

draft round
1st- 1 player (compared to the Sharks and their 4...)
2nd- 2
3rd- 3
5th- 1
6th- 1
7th-1
10th- 1

hmph... kind of a broad spectrum from the draft...

NHL's front office has to be licking its chops though that their proclaimed savior is playing still... I never quite understood the need for America to have a marketable face to make something big... especially on a sport that needs a good TEAM as opposed to a good player.

LDS Stage Event of the Decade?!?!

Forget Wicked.

Checklist...

both projectors are found and stored in my office...check
door can actually close now...check

bring the laptop and watch tv projected on the wall with the door closed...

Greg + Shirts + Camping = Chaffing?

2005... Kansas City, MO, ok so this was swimming...and it wasn't really camping. We we're at a Motel 6.
though it may have been cleaner to just camp...



Last Year...



a comment on the picture...

Again, selflessly taking the picture...

I notice that Greg has his shirt off in almost every picture... It wasn't that hot down there... It's like he was just looking for excuses to take it off. -Rebecca

I realized hey... Rebecca had a point... which really I should have realized earlier... I mean 2/3rds my apartment was usually half naked.

This Year...


Well at least maybe this will keep his skin from being so blindingly white...but in turn give him a nice fat melanoma... (since thats about the only disease he hasn't hosted) and yes there might be some jealously to his accepting his body type... one day I will get rid of (some... part... maybe like a honest tithe?) this gut.

Everything I Needed to Know at UCI, I Learned at...

How to get creative in fixing things.

How to fill out form after form after form for accounting...

How to look busy for eight hours...
-Xango will call.

How to ignore the screaming of kids...
-all those shows of ending up near a speaker...

How to realize someone is just straight out lying to me...
-EVERY JOB EVER... wow people are just a bunch of liars.

How to look interested in what someone is telling me...
-.. um.. well shoot.

Ok...

So I'm tired of hearing people talk about Wicked. It's been out for five years and people still talk about it like its the greatest thing ever...

Is it really that good?!?!

I'm sure it's good... but not life changing, charge my fans $20 to be able to read a letter because it was that life changing... a la Britney Spears.

The book was alright... maybe one day... eh Cold?

They Stole My Last Name!!!

On Sunday, the Ex-wife was like... did you watch The Japanese Office skit on SNL last night. (I don't think I've ever watched Saturday Night Live on Saturday night...)

It was amusing... like Ricky Gervais ("Creator and Star of the far superior British Version of The Office") said... because it is racist.. jajaja ^_^.

Supplement to the Last Post

EDIT: A new facebook invite...

If you want to come to the coolest wedding ever, please send us your address. =)

To which I reply via facebook chat...

Me:coolest wedding ever?
7:09pmJenny: ha ha ..you know it! you coming?
7:09pmMe: hmmm...what makes it the coolest wedding ever?
7:10pmJenny: i'm the bride, duhhh

hmmm... she was kind of a cool girl.. maybe I should buy her a stapler... she let me shoot staples at her.. it was memorable.

Me: maybe i'll buy you a stapler...
7:19pmJenny:that would be something you would do.
7:19pm Me:it has sentimental value
geez
of all our good times
pre-mish

She was nice... despite the daily staple shooting and all... and being in a similar major we could have took classes together and I could have copied her notes as I slept in class... and she had a nice soothing voice.

common daily conversation...
I walk up..grab a sucker... start shooting staples...

she is like... you better come over here and pick those up.
I pick them up... sit under the counter and we talk.
people walk by... and are like who are you talking to?
and she's like kirk...
and they're like who is that? or ah kirk _____ (there were like three Kirks in the ward... i was the least known)

and that occurred for on a nearly daily basis...

with the occasional mixed in:
Me: we need to go on a date so greg can go out with your roommate...

-or-

John: you sure flirt jenny a lot (paraphrased)
me: ....do not

-or-

me: Jenny...you're out of candy... (which really threw off the whole system)

-or-

Jenny: Are you TRYING to play Swing, Swing?!?!

that still angers me to this day... thank you JD... for bring back that horrible memory that I repressed...

Hahaha I Dunno...

David C [10:41 AM]: how in the world do you keep in touch with all these people?
David C [10:42 AM]: i have a hard time keeping in touch with my family

I dunno, I guess I'm just awesome like that??

David C [10:52 AM]: hobble creek would be in your back yard
David C [10:52 AM]: i miss that course
David C [10:52 AM]: it was cheap and beautiful

Oh David... and your crush on Hobble Creek

Awkward?

So Alisa journeyed up from New Mexico to help out her brother. Her sister-in-law took off to Europe for a lil vacation with her family.

So Alisa and I. we hung out.

Now I've known Alisa for like forever... there always seems to be two things that happen when we hang out... 1) we get lost... (yep the conversation is that awesome...that we have to be like...whoa where are we?!?) 2) We eat... Japanese.

Other than that its pretty normal... Same ole conversation, same ole everything. Execpt this time... there was a new thing, her kiddy kid kid.

Now I want to claim this is the first time I've hung out with a married woman and her seven-month-old offspring. But it is not... I hung out with Jessica and her offspring earlier this year.

But yeah... I felt no need to assist Jessica in any way or form... "I don't care that you're juggling a diaper bag, baby, toys and who knows what... hurry up and open that door, I'm hungry." Maybe I've matured since Feb... because I was now opening doors and carrying crap.

1) its strange when someone straps their kid into your car... a very "hmmm....this would probably be a good time not to get t-boned for the first time" moment occurs.
2) despite the other 53,353,000 kiddies off starting families and blah blah blah blah... I'm not really excited to join the crowd.

so we eat... with conversations constantly interrupted, but it doesn't matter...They're been the same conversations for the past 20 years...

sit at her brother's house watching tv... then I drop off Alisa's 14-year-old niece and her friend at the movies and go home...hmmm yep, so not interested in suburban life as an adult.

* Yep, so Alisa was going to drop off her niece and her friend at the movies...

me: are you going to bed after?
A: yeah... I don't remember the last time I've not been tired at 10 pm...even before the baby... (its true... I don't remember all that many times of hanging out with her after 10 pm.)
me: well, if I'm leaving at the same time... I can take em.
A: you sure?
me: yeah.. no point in dragging a sleeping baby and everything if I'm going the same direction...

SO they hop in the car... and they both get in the back seat... I'm a taxi apparently... and 14-year-old girls really suck at giving directions.

National Geographic Adventure is Tempting Me...

So I got this magazine free for a year. It was pretty sweet... taught me about all kinds of sweet locations... I'm tempted to actually pay for a subscription... Well its here at work. One came in the mail today. And whats on the cover.

Hey Havasu Falls... I'll see you in June.





Hey Yosemite...see you in two weeks.

So You Had a Birthday (weeks ago...) Shout Hooray!

So I guess April showers brought out May Birthday Blog shoutouts in me... LRRMRF...ERR... lucky you two... blondes and all...

So to be fair... and show that I'm not partial to blondes and their Scandinavian or whatever background... here are past due shout outs to other bloggers who have celebrated their birth in 2008 already.

Mar 13 The blogger formerly known as SAP, who I now call SAPY.
So 2008 was the start of a blog war. Two up and coming super powers battling for blog domination (aka my stamp of approval). Well they decided to recruit allies into the war. SAPY was one of the allies recruited.

Nice things to say about SAPY...
-um...

-well she is a loyal associate

-shares the birthday with my blog...

Happy Be-lated Birthday SAPY. next year's shout out will be better... maybe.

mar 28 Nicold
Nicold... cold because at times shes the bestest friend a kid could ask for and at other times disappears, pretty much like my beloved San Jose Sharks/Oakland A's/whatever...

Nice things to say about NJBG...
-um...

-I know everything about her... and I mean EVERYTHING.

-she's left-handed, and can't stab me in the back because they still don't make knives for lefties... (that and I do know EVERYTHING...jaja).

jajaja... she's a-ok though.

(21:16:03) nicki: you totally wouldn't trade it for anything

maybe she's right.

Happy Be-lated Birthday Nicold... though you did get your birthday text the day of...

april 25 LeeElle
I met LeeElle five years ago... She was our FHE mom. I called her mom... because I could never remember what the hell that name was... I've never seen so many L's and E's jumbled together in my life. One night almost five years ago... I was walking back into the fishbowl called Roman Gardens and our paths crossed... we chatted for like half an hour in the spillway of RG... about politics, about datable people in the fishbowl, about religion, she laughed at my crappy jokes that I told b/c I still couldn't remember what the hell her name was..... Then she pilfered my best friend away right under my nose (ok that took like 10 months)...

Reasons I keep her close.
-I like the Ruby's outfit (though that liking has diminished somewhat after seeing the fatties at Angel Stadium in one), I am still delusional enough to think that one day she'll be able slick me up one for my eventual spouse.

-Now that she has an pilfered the best friend away... she may have an intimate knowledge of any skeletons in my closet. This could come back to hurt Reagan and my eventual GOP nomination for the 2036 election. I will reward her silence with a cushy government job.

-Her father could squish me like a bug... and probably would have no qualms about doing it either...

Happy Be-lated birthday LeeElle... well you can't say the post wasn't amusing... and do you remember that night of standing in the spillway chit chatting like a bunch of girlies?!

There... thats at least three more comments... in the bag. Next up, Jason, June 9th...

Happy B-Day ERR

I think its today... eh. whatever. So LeeElle always makes me have to say 3 good things about someone when I say something bad... So I reckon 26 good things about ERR are in order.

1-She can throw a baseball decently.
2-She's kinda funny... not just for being a girl. Like actual laugh out loud funny... at times.
3-once, we went to a T-mobile store because her phone didn't power on or something... the guy touches it and it decides to power on for him... I was embarrassed for the both of us... seriously what the freak lil Samsung phone?!?! Maybe he was one of the three nephites...
4-I sent her mother a mothers' day card.. it was received with mixed reviews. At the time, ERR didn't quite know me and didn't think I would actually do something like that, "hahaha, DO IT... I dare you"= one mother's day card from me...
5-Her mom used to random IM me to see how I was doing. Jennifer was fun.
6- she falls asleep in movies...
7-She's an Orioles fan... hahahaha... I don't know how this is a good thing...
8-She got lasered in the eyes... some people and I joked around about her going blind... well the recovery wasn't so hot... i felt bad (briefly) for making fun of her.
9-During the laser recovery, her mom asked me to go buy her a milkshake on the way home from work... instead of either of her brothers that also happened to live in Provo.
10-Much like the Brey household. I think the mother of the Roberts household is the only person that doesn't mind talking to me.
11- she will watch R-rated movies.
12-she owns a car.
13-uhhhhhhh.
14-so this one time I sent her flowers (I dont know why... she doesn't have the sufficient girth in the hips to birth my offspring's large head...) but she tried to embarrass me by showing me pictures in front of my roommates... luckily they paid no attention to her across the room announcement of "I brought pictures of the flowers you sent to me at work...today"
15-she doesn't smell bad.
16- she let me take her to Chef's table once.
17-She let me take her to Chef's table twice.
18-She let me take her to Market Street Grill.
19-Despite all this above-average eating... She would NOT let me spoon her. what a...
20- She owns less clothes than me... so if she ever got desperate and married me... I would so get the bigger closet.
21-she's skinny.
22- two years ago... I ended up talking to her mom on the phone when she called for ERR's b-day.
23-she trusted me to drive her car once.
24-she...is a she.
25-she... has a nice middle name, It's a good middle name.
26-she... picked up my diploma cover since she worked in the ASB and brought it back to Timp for me. She's a pal.

Facebook

So when Reagan goes out of town.. and Nicki isn't in a facebook mood... my facebook notifications go to nil... So I have to start looking for other things to respond to.

On the newsfeed was a _________ joined the facebook group, The Wedding of the Century.

Now thats quite the epic group title... SO I just had to look at what THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURY entitled...

Tangent: I think all these... "WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!! join this group and let us know what your address is" groups are ridiculous.

Abby and Steven are getting married! The big day is August 9th, in Utah! We are getting married in the Salt Lake temple and the reception will be in Draper that night.

Thats the wedding of the century?!??!!?! No open bar for the jack mormons....no mormon American Idol reject quartet for the pop-culture starved, no mention of a chocolate fountain, dinner or that its located at some fancy venue...

seems a little average to me... Maybe "Wedding of the Day!!!" at best.

HAHAHAHA...Yes!

So I now have Admin rights on my computer...

I put Firefox and Safari on here. I will finally decide which browser I like better.
I also updated the flash player on here...

Thank you mister IT man. you rock.

Marriage Prep?!?!?!

Tangent: So... back in my school days... early in those days... when I was young and full of innocence and... caffeine free coke.
My friend David took a Marriage Prep course... (that came in handy right buddy?!? see what happens if you're my friend and don't ever look at my blog... I make fun of you in a public, albeit unknown, forum)

Anyways... now back to today. Apparently I'm taking a similar course, just with out he school credit. I've lived here for nine and a half months. My roommate occasionally gets moody/clingy(?). All these situations have occurred more than once.

Situation 1:
R: I made some dinner... want some?
M:uh, sure.
R: what do you think?
M: it's alright...
R: JUST alright?
(awkward silence)

2:
R: It's like I never see you anymore...you want to be like Kevin and hide in your room?
(awkward silence)

3:
R: Kevin never hangs out with me...I've never ever shared a meal with him... I used to go places with roommates...eat with roommates... you and I are getting close to that.
(awkward silence)

4:
R: (about someone on tv) wow she's hot.
M: she's alright...
R: JUST alright? She's like the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
(awkward silence)

Hahaha...he'll actually rewind stuff to get me to stay and watch stuff with him...Like I get to see people walk up stairs... and opening credits roll...without any IMPORTANT dialog shared at all...

m: what is this?
r: _________. I'll rewind it if you want, it just started like five minutes ago.
m: nah thats ok...
r: I'll rewind it, it'll only take like a minute.
m: its no big deal...

I guess if I say what he wants me to say... I could just avoid these awkward silences... Maybe this is a sign I need to get married. I mean... at least with a girl. I could hush her up with gifts or flowers...and occasional cop a feel.

I'd probably need to keep a couple of girls on retainer. To tell me what to think...what to do...what gift to buy when I tried to think on my own and not use my panel of assistants, where is appropriate to put my hands, etc.

More Fluff

So I was driving home and noticed the car in front of me... they had a For Sale sign in the back... then they had a sticker to the side above the brake light...

At first I thought it said call girl.

then I got closer...it actually said Cali girl. I suppose Cali girls...can have Colorado plates...

This Sure Seems to be Happening a Lot Recently...

Do you know that when your talking to me online 25 percent of the time it's with my brother . . I just found this out

hmmm...

Oh on Mother's Day I got to see three accidents... one person drove straight off the road, one person merged into another and one LeeElle'd the person in front of them...

I guess everyone was in a hurry to get that last minute Mothers day gift.

I also saw a very very old man (or a very very ugly woman) in pig tails and a skirt...

Frosted Flakes: Long-Lasting Energy are just kind of disgusting...

Mail-In Rebates Are Like Cereal Top Prizes For Adults

So Jessica needs daily reading material... probably the only person in the whole world that is disappointed to see the same post on top of the blog the next day... So yeah...

I got my five free HD-DVDs yesterday. I wasn't quite sure what it was, I ripped the sucker open, lo and behold I was quite happy. I don't remember what movies I asked for. I got...

-a letter saying at least one of the movies I asked for was no longer available so they sent something as a replacement.
-Fast Times at Ridgemont High
-Blood Diamond
-The Italian Job
-Jarhead
-Spygame

Hm...the only movie I am really interested in seeing was Blood Diamond...maybe Jarhead.

Whatever... 7 free movies and a hd-dvd player for 84 bucks rocked.


Anyways...
In a conversation earlier today, I had to prove the fact that JAHO didn't want to hang out with me the one time I went out on a limb and asked a co-worker to hang out with me.

I wanted to go to a Owlz game... I needed other people to come with... because I didn't want to sit there by myself back then. I had abandonment issues or something maybe (Actually it was a family pack... 6 people... Only in Utah would a family pack consist of more than 4 tickets).

she said she didn't remember when that was.

So I pulled up the Messenger history...(Yep...I save everything) and told her.
7/10/06.. copy and pasted the convo into the IM window. she rather stuff invites into envelopes at home than at a baseball game.

So I took a walk down memory lane and skimmed parts of the history...

the last words JAHO ever said to me on a XanGo computer: 8/8/2006 1:39:21 PM Haha

The last thing LRRMRF sent to me was:8/16/2006 1:11:42 PM lol...

Wow thats deep...

other memorable outtakes...taken completely out of context. (ACTUALLY IF YOU'RE initals aren't JAHO or LRRMRF, you more than likely won't give a crap about the rest of this post.) Wow I actually talked to JAHO a lot while at Xango... though it was mainly trying to find out who made out in my will call... and regarding who would get kicked out of will call... and asking JAHO why she didn't like certain people...

Happy B-day LRRMRF

So until I finally set up a facebook account. LRRMRF and I were casual casual "could point them out in a crowd" friends at best. then all of a sudden thanks to being employed and having an Internet connection at our workstations... we became awesome friends. We met on a cold March day in 2005... I was busy working as the face of XanGo SoJo and in she walked in. Completely avoiding the commoners employee entrance, she had the nerve to walk straight up through the main door of XanGo South Jordan. Since she was not a South Jordan employee, I had to get up and open the door to let her inside.

This continued for sometime... She was being "trained" on what CS agents do. So I would constantly have to badge her in. This eventually ended and in April when I went to Lehi to get Travis' sloppy seconds of a job title once again. There, she sat on the other side of glass doors... just because I could see her... didn't mean I had to be civil and talk to her.

Well after becoming super friends. She has since offered to coach me in my quest to be an Olympic curler.

JAN 16, 2008

And about us being friends....you never talked to me! we would have been friends had I known how effing funny you were! Like BFF's with bracelets and stuff. Oh and I am 21 for the record....my bday is May 7th. I will [be] expecting a present. -LRRMRF

On April 28, 2008, a list of birthday "wishes" magically appears on her blog. I can't give actual gifts... I can't risk showing up her husband... lord knows how creative and thoughtful I can get.


1. I wish for another cat-I would name him Dwight.

I googled Dwight and cat. This is the first picture I got... Dwight the cat looks evil.

4. I wish that Ben and Jerry's Phish food Ice cream had zero calories and was considered a 'health food'

Hmm... this is melting already... and might not fit in the envelope...


Well I can't let it go to waste... hmm..


Hmm... I think I just got my daily fat intake... for the next two weeks.

7. I wish that the 'Office' kicked off a cast member and asked me to join the cast.

They were on Casino night as extras already... they were not invited back for looking at the camera too much.

15. I wish people would just know what I want instead of them guessing or me having to tell them.
I don't know why she doesn't just tell them... She tells me pretty much what she wants ... what to think... what to do... some how.


20. I wish for Peter Gallagher to shave his effing eye brows off, because they creeeeep me out.

uh... yeah....

22. I wish I owned Disneyland and could go to the front of the line every time.

well... thats one step closer.

And with that Happy Birthday LRRMRF.
Me: 5 SAP: 0

Are You Serious?

I sort out the mail at work... this was sent to one of the doctors. Hm...

I Have Strange Friends...

Link

So what seems like forever ago. Greg told me that a video was made... I enjoy watching my friends/associates make asses of themselves on video and I quickly inquired about the whereabouts of this video. I was told that it was not quite ready for the light of day.

The days and weeks passed. I soon grew impatient. Lo and behold, finally the video has surfaced...

You may think Rebecca did a excellent job of "acting" her anger on the video. Thats not acting kiddies... she truly hates Collin.

Lets Go to the Church Rawk Show?!?!?

So... a while back there was some questions as to why Cary Judd was playing at a LDS church on a monday. Yes it was FHE.

Positives...
-They both sounded pretty decent... Isaac's CD release party in Provo last Jan... he didn't sound so hot/Cary rocked. The time before that... Cary didn't sound so hot/Isaac rocked.

-Set up right next to each other... so no awkward wandering in between sets. occasionally played back up for one another.

-It was free and saved me a drive up to LA.

Negatives...
-we started and ended with a prayer... Kinda kills the rock star image when the headliner is praying on stage... seriously.

-they took turns playing songs... and talked a lot. It's like watching Fat Mike...(ok not that bad).

-no encore... No Cohen's stairs... blah.

Its kind of a different experience... maybe next month we can get Bert McCracken and the Used up there? probably not... "Let me see your hands in the air!!!!"

Boring Friend...Fun Friend...

So... I like to categorize things... Usually I'm right. On the occassion I'm wrong.
But this year has had a steady stream of facebook friends go from single...to in a relationship... to engaged....to married.

And after looking at these status changes... It makes me wonder... what do some of these peoples' partners see in them?!?!?!

I know this person... we hung out once... it was boring beyond belief. We went a water park. She knew it was a water park before we went. She was kinda blah to talk to and didn't want to go on water park rides... It took asking and asking and asking before she went on one... twice. Finally she was like... you can go by yourself. I took her up on it. I would have felt bad to leave her sitting there by herself at my work function... but she was REALLY boring me.

She has just zoomed through that fb change... and it just leads me to wonder... what the kid sees in her. I really want to know. Hmm...

Around and Around and Around...

6:04 pm... start watching hockey.
9 pm still watching hockey.
10 pm still...
11 pm still.
11:21 pm its over.

This was 8th longest nhl game ever, the 5th longest in the modern era.
The Sharks are 2-12 in game 6s now... Why do they suck so much in game 6?
Brian Campbell had 56:23 minutes of ice time... thats just insane.
Since the 92 playoffs, the Sharks have the most 2nd round exits. Maybe if they started winning game 6s. This wouldn't be the case.
A link to the box score of the previous longest shark game (they lost that one too) link
