St. Patrick's Day

Even though I'm pretty sure I'm not Irish at all (let me know if I'm wrong, Dad), I feel inspired to celebrate St. Patrick's Day every year.

This year, I felt extra special celebrating it in Korea. I had Italian for dinner and then headed to a local German pub for some Catch Phrase. Booyah. I'm so international.

The real party was on Saturday. Some friends and I went up to Seoul for the parade! It was maybe the shortest and most horrible parade I've ever seen, but anywhere I can go in Korea that has a high amount of English speakers is always fun.


First off, we painted each others faces while waiting for the parade to start. In the local KFC. (They didn't really appreciate that.)


Then we watched the ten minute parade.


And then, of course, everyone wanted to celebrate with booze. As clearly shown in this picture, I stayed close to my mul. Eh, I mean, water. Mul=water in Korean. Gosh I'm so fluent sometimes the languages are blurred together. Hahaha not.


As you can see, we looked awesome. Multiple Koreans stopped the group for a photo. I hope we're on TV or something.

Its hard being famous in Korea. But somebody's gotta do it.

I was totally there! But I didn't see you :( Probably because there were like 21945 white people and they all look the same to me.

You and the BSB, just bringing the best parts of America to Korea. Is that spiral thing behind you part of the parade, or an awesome building? I hope it's the latter.

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...
