The Day Heaven Met The Earth....D I Style!

So my day today began with eating a bowl of Chocolate Cap'n crunch. It ended the same way. while you may think that's all i did all day... you are wrong, I spent the grater part of my afternoon with my brother Davy. (pictured at a BYU football game, with Gods light shining on him).We began our day playing his newly purchased Wii, my brother played Guitar hero 3 while i watched. i tend to have problems playing guitar hero.. i think its because my fingers a so stubby it makes for some less effective guitar hero playing. i rather played some Wii golf. oh and i did my bothers dishes....why?? After taking our gaming goggles off we ventured off to Wingers where my brothers wife works, to get some discounted food. we get the food that people send back if it wasn't cooked right or it didn't taste right. it isn't that bad. lunch was pretty entertaining, free pop corn, interesting drinks created my sister in-law, Windex being used as a table cleaning agent, (funny story) and the possibility of being used as a beverage. After finishing our food we looked for something else to do. we decided upon going to D I. i haven't been there for a while, and i soon realized that i had been living in sin. the only bad part of about D I is the smell. Ok lets be honest, there are many reasons why D I freaks me out but the smell is the main thing. After looking through all their shirts and ties it seemed that this trip to D I would be all lost. then we walked through a door in to what i would like to think of as heaven. we walked over to the bikes to see what they had. this is where things get good. they had 2 road bikes that were in pretty good condition, besides the flat tires and D I smell (do bikes have a smell?... i think so??) my brother has wanted one for a while now and was debating on purchasing one. i began to encourage him to pick a bike, i suggested the bike that was all sorts of vintage looking, tan, orange, brown... nothing gets better then that. or the blue one that was also there. then as a selection was about the be made an angel from god came and presented another road bike that was made for a shrek (or what looked to me that a shrek was riding it). this bike interested my brother as he looked it over and prayed about it he decided that he would select the shrek bike. i then thought about making a bike purchase as well. i didn't really need a bike. when would i have time to ride it? but with a price that i created at $15 dollars, (if you want to know how i created it just ask me) who could pass it up? it was done i was getting the bike that i was encouraging my brother to buy. this is where it gets good. we began to wheel our bikes to the front of the store to buy them, we would of rode them up there but mine had a flat tire and my brothers seat was set so high it would be impossible to get on. this lady saw us pushing them up and began to shake her head in agreement, "that's a smart idea" i then replied back "Going Green!!" (i could care less about going green, i had just found a bike that was 15 bucks). As i proceeded to pay i told the lady "Going Green!!" as well... she then told me how sad it was that gas was costing so much. i wasn't really paying any attention, i was plotting how i was going to get 2 bikes into my car. After a great struggle we bent two sweet bikes into my rental car. we were blessed yet again with a bungie cord to hook my trunk shut. we acted like two school boys that had just won the state championship. we spent the next hour fixing a flat and putting our newly acquired bikes back together. we went for a bike ride and soon realized we wish they came with water bottles. but im glad they didn't.. who knows that they could of had in them coming from D I? anyways that was my day... amazing. here is my bike. i cant remember what we named it.. oh well. good night.

Sunburn City



As my body begins to peel i've realized that the summer seems like it's just about over. once August hits its all down hill, school will begin. i've signed up for one class so far. the rest of my classes i don't really know what i want to take. last semester rocked. Basketball and Golf... even though i have been blessed with the body and skills of a basketball player i don't think thats my calling in life. don't get me wrong i would be more then willing to play on anyones 3 on 3 basketball team, i just don't see it putting food on the table in the years to come. My golf skills on the otherhand well it just costs to much to go. so i'll decide in the next few weeks what to take this next semester.

So far this summer has been great. besides the fact that My BFF diched me (kind of) for a whole month. Its been a change from my last summer in Alaska, which i miss but i think i enjoy being home just ask much. i found a new job selling cars. its really fun for the fact that i get to drive lots of cars and mess with peoples minds. i've met some crazy people that shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car but if they are willing to buy... i am willing to sell. for this new job they flew me out to Sacramento for training where i was able to gorge myself on food and sleep in a king size bed. ohhh... on a brighter note i had my cholesterol tested and im at 250 (i guess that's bad??).. yep thats right. im going to die of heart failure. but i think of it more as a prize... i've gotten that by eating JCW's chicken Sangwiches, Nachos, Carly's Jr., and other cheesy greasy goodness. oh and i own a GYM pass that i've used once.

After coming home from training i was reunited with my BFF, and I realized how much i enjoy how ridiculous we are. From making up fake melons while Kermit the Frog gulps down some nasty soup, to discussing video games with gamers, haircuts, eating candy bars, and finding the most time consuming jobs possible to make the time go by faster. i realized my job isn't half bad, sometimes.

i went to California for a family reunion where i spent most of my time swimming or bugging my cousins. i think i drove my mom crazy with my childish antics. Im her big helper and act like im 15. one of the highlights of my trip was when my sister threw up on a ride at Magic Mountain. WEAK!! they shouldn't let girls on the rides there. so thats my summer so far. if you would like to help me peel big sheets of skin of my arms lets me know.. largest sheet gets a prize.
