A little thing called the internet!!

Well, here I am sitting in the airport and I have just realized that it doesn't matter where I go, the internet will be there. It is the magnificent stalker! I go into the middle of nowhere and set a dish up and the internet follows me there. I go check into a hotel room only to find that the internet has found me there too. I go to the airport, get frisked and checked the point of no comfort, walk into the terminal and the internet is yet by my side. I am right now at the airport waiting to get on the plane back to Salt Lake City and was just thinking about how immersive(sp) the internet is. Anyway, see ya'll back in the greatest state in the country, world, universe, omniverse, underverse, benly-verse, scripture verse, and all those other verses:)

To do or not to do... too many questions!

So recently I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and I have come to the conclusion that God will just have to write something in the sky because the thoughts of understanding seem to be like the clouds, always out of reach! I have been tossing up ideas of work/marriage/school/more work. The one thing that is a constant in my life is my ramen. Yes, for all those who don't know me I am a walking noodle, nothing more. It's like on Spongebob when Plankton is put into that vaporizer that determines what the object is made of. He was made up of 99% hot gas, and 1% something. I, I am 50% ramen, 20%pasta, 10%meat, and 20% confused! But, after all the talks with the myriads of people that I come in contact with I guess I am still going back to school, ("to prove to daddy that I am not a fool"). Which I am kind of excited for. College is a real challenge which makes it real fun when you can overcome the obstacle lying in wait to tear you down... haha. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I have a billion more questions than they do and my life is completely different from everyone else's... right! Thanks for the advice you guys!!

Economics... whats that?

Well, here I am sitting in my economics class and am finding that I don't any desire to pay attention whatsoever. Although I did somehow pull myself out of my apartment and walk all the way up here just to be bored to death by this "fun" econ professor for 90 minutes. Who wouldn't want to do this? Who wouldn't want to go to college? Seriously, could life be any better? hehe Ok, it really isn't that bad. I have learned a lot from this class but to put it simply, I am glad that there are many types and varieties of people in this world. This way i am allowed to choose what I would like to do for life and I won't have to be forced into being an economist. For all those out there who do understand economics, more power to ya!!

p.s. Did I ever mention how cool it is that I can access the internet from anywhere on campus? Such a relief;)

Viva Las Vegas

Ok, so it has been a while since I have blogged... Brett! hehe Yes I did end up taking my first road trip ever and it was super sweet! We had a great time driving a total of 815 miles. Did you know that there is an order to the whole driving system when taking a road trip? I do now. Let me explain. The driver does nothing but drive(obviously). The one in the passenger seat is in charge of trash and being the DJ. The person(s) in the back are in charge of the treats. Well, I thought it was pretty cool that there was a system!!!
We started this excursion on Friday and stayed at Jake Nielson's house that night. Took off the next morning to see Vegas. We ended up going on 2 different roller coasters and watching the infamous Bellagio fountains!! Man was that awesome. I would say that the trip was worth just because we got to see those!!!! We ate at a buffet that night and we were all so tired that we decided to leave at about 9:30. So, I guess you could say that we got out of there before too many crazy things started happening.
Overall it was a total success and a lot of fun to just leave for the weekend and not think at all about school!! Seriously, college is getting tougher and tougher. I am not sure yet whether that is because the semester is coming to a close or as summer nears, the desire to do homework fades. All in all this trip was a much needed relaxant to help me come back and get even more focused on school!

College=Fun

Sheesh! I have decided that college is blast! All except for the college part. Everything just rocks!! Minus econ, and accounting, and anything else that makes me stress out for no apparent reason! The roommies and I have just been having the greatest time sitting at our battle stations every night as we talk about girls, and school, and girls, and work, and girls, and food, good food, and anything else that ends up coming across our minds:) Just so everyone knows, our battle stations are where our laptops sit on our kitchen table. Seriously, there couldn't be a better place or a name! It is a daily... well, more of a nightly gathering that totally rocks! The other commanders at their battle stations are Danny Walker and Kyle Holmes. We are the ones who tend to stay up later doing homework and other random things. I just felt the need to blog about how freaking awesome college is and how much more fun it is going to be next year when we go to the Branbury!!! How exciting! I am also overly joyed for the coming of summer! Yes, it is in less than 1 month. Where I won't have to pay rent and I won't have to do homework, heck, I won't even have to buy my own food! So, college is the best thing ever and so much fun, except for the school side of things;)

Flying mattresses!!!

Okay, so, as you may have guessed by the title, one of the craziest events of my life happened last night. We have called it the art of mattress fighting and I am pretty sure that we became black belts last night. We started off as just these tires little boys wanting to go to sleep when out of nowhere a pillow came flying and hit one of us in the face. Well, the fire exploded from there moving from pillows to blankets and then... yup, you're right... mattresses!! Not one of us remember who started threw the first mattress but a full on war ensued from there. There was anything from body slams to catapulting people off of your mattress after having been body slammed underneath a few 100 pounds of human flesh plus 2 mattresses. As we all know, the fun always ends in a way least expected and least wanted. The fun ended when one of the mattresses hit the over hanging light. Yes, it proceeded to spread white dust all over the place. Luckily we were the only ones awake by this point and nobody found out about it until today.
So, the moral of the story is. "Never run after a bus... Especially one going up at a 90 degree angle" (Spongebob) Not really. I guess there is no moral of the story other than have as much possible fun as you can until the light ends up breaking:)

I've caught the blogging bug!

Woot for the inescapability of the lure of blogging! I have watched my whole family blog without me for too many years now. I figured it was time to hop on the bandwagon and start my own. I can tell this is going to be a lot of fun as you all get to see about all of the fun that I am having at college. Oh, and don't you worry, there is much fun to be had! In fact, because it is going to be soooooo much fun my roommates and I have decided to put all of our out-of-this-world ideas into a list. Here she goes:
1. A raffle(because we're poor)
2. Sunday special(Waffle mania)
3. Jello eating contest, licorice, donuts, etc...
4. Steak and brauts, obviously!
5. Ramen parties(because we're poor)
6. Sleep overs
a. Where you move all of your mattresses into one room:)
7. Get a dog(preferably a Rotweiler)
8. Acquire an aquarium
9. BBQ contest
10. Volleyball doubles/triples tournaments
11. Car Washes(because we're poor)
12. Mistletoe Madness
13. DI runs(because we're poor)
14. Buy a card table to put all of our laptops in their "battle stations"
Well, there you have it. Can you sense the amount of fun we are going to have? The list is called "Our Doings of Debochery".
