Farewell

While part of me is relieved that the election is over, the bigger part of me is sad. I felt like the last few months inspired people all over the country to care about what is going on in our government. People became connected to the way the political system works and they finally demonstrated that they wanted to be a part of the bigger whole. While there were those huge barriers between the two parties, in the end it brought us together as a nation because we all were finally involved. I can only hope that this little feeling of unity continues for a little bit.
Farewell Election '08.

...and good riddance.

I too have enjoyed this little season of calm after the elections. The people have spoken, and the decisions have been made.

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out?

They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
