Weekend (w)Rap Up

I have so many things to say.

First off, let's talk about the VMA's.

I watched them tonight. I could be embarrassed about this, but I'm not. During the days of my youth, the VMA's were the bomb.com. They were hyped up and everyone went and they had wicked funny skits and hosts were entertaining and it was a super big deal and everybody wanted to perform and/or attend. I even dreamed of walking down that carpet and interviewing BSB and Britney and Christina. I did.

Those were the days.

Now we have CRAZY PEOPLE working the VMA's. It's like you are forced to watch to see what other weirdo things are going to happen. Everyone's talking about the Kanye West/Taylor Swift exchange. All I have to say is that Kanye was probably a little tipsy: good enough excuse for me. (Also earlier I had just watched the music video for Beyonce's song Ego featuring Kanye and so I could see how he was more protective of Mrs. Jay-Z). Anyways. Yeah, not the best thing to ever happen but Beyonce made up for it (along with that random little boy who showed up and stood up for Swift-who was that kid by the way?). No harm no foul. I'll take the drama.

I couldn't help but laugh every time they showed Lady Gaga. That was enough entertainment for me. Her outfits=awesome. In the most disturbing way. Along with her performance. What that woman thinks I never want to know. I suspect she's losing her mind. And poor Kermit the Frog now has herpes. Thanks, Gaga. Maybe you can be in the next Muppets in Space movie.

Legit my favorites of the night were Beyonce's performance, the Eminem/Tracy Jordan shorts (sooo funny), T.I.'s win (I only wish they showed him accept his award from prison), and holy hannah the final performance with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys was phenom.

Moving on...

BYU beat Tulane. 54-3. Seriously they sucked. I mean, we're good. But Tulane really, really sucked. Everytime they made a right move, they made an even bigger wrong move. It was fun to watch, until their pathetic team just made me feel sad for them. That and the fact that their entire stadium cleared out by the fourth quarter. My parents and I had some good laughs at their expense. I'll take it.

And finally:

I went camping. I wore flannel. I smelled like fire. I relished the Rocky Mountains one last time. And I loved it.

Several things:

1. I love your flannel, and I love camping. I haven't been in far too long.

2. I didn't see the VMAs, but I did read cnn this morning and heard all about it.

3. I was so excited about the Kanye situation that I blogged about it.

4. I knew you would say something about it on YOUR blog, so I hustled myself over here to see what it was, and, as usual, you did not disappoint me, Miss Ford.

4. Lady Gaga is my dream.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

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? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. 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...
