Japan

So, here's the deal.

First off, thanks for being impressed with my photo skills (even if you just said it because i told you to. and Jill, don't even try to pretend). Just wait until you see the other pictures I took on self timer. It really is quite unbelievable. Who needs friends when you have ten seconds to run and jump into a pose before the red light goes off?

Also, I don't know how to really explain my trip to Japan. It was both what I expected but not what I expected. I seriously haven't ever been on a trip like this one. I don't know if its because I'm older or more mature (probably not) or what, but I felt like Japan changed me a little bit. I think its moreso a result of the last few months living on my own in Korea, but Japan inspired me. It inspired me to be better. My theme from Japan was, get this, Inspiration, and its sticking with me.

Bet its not really what you were expecting. See, me neither.

I met a ton of super cool people, both other travelers and locals, and they all seemed to teach me something different about life. This is probably the main reason I love traveling. You never know who you'll end up meeting, and everyone you meet has a story.

What I was expecting to happen, and what did happen, was that I had an awesome time. I saw a lot of sweet places, walked around Kyoto in a crazy rainstorm that lasted no less than five hours, and put my feet into the waters of Japan. I loved it.

I will now highlight a few moments from the trip. Enjoy at your leisure.

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...
