Let's Win the Future, ok?

How many of you spent your night watching the State of the Union?!?!

I started to drive to the movie theatre to see the newest Jack Black flick, Gullivers Travels, but then I ended up turning my car around, getting some chicken nuggets, and spending quality time with the leaders of our nation.

I did!! I spent over an hour talking to my tv/Obama when he was speaking and I was weirdly entertained.

Mr. President shared some good thoughts and goals (some of which I doubt have any chance of happening, but the thoughts are nice) and inspired many claps and some permanent sitters and all in all I really enjoyed myself. These things are always so much fun!

I mean, just take a look for yourself:


Everyone minus those guys in the top left corner. Ouch. Also not happy? All the military leaders they showed after Obama started talking about how people can be openly gay and in the military. Those faces did not have any joy.

And you want to know who stole my heart all over again?
This guy:


Want to know who took a nap?
This guy:


I took some notes to expand on throughout my blog but we all know I don't like to get too political on here (keeping things family friendly). I will say that I can appreciate his desire to help undocumented workers and their children (i want to help too!); he mentioned South Korea twice (i was totally a builder of that nation! suckas!); I also want mo' betta railroad; and why was he talking about salmon?!

WE DO BIG THINGS!

I seriously love America.

You are a good American. I listened to it for the duration of my drive from my house to my parents' house, and didn't even really think about staying and lsitening to it, or even turning it on in the house once I got there. Bad Americans.

And oh my gosh you're going to grad school in ENGLAND? Freak. Now I'll have to stop reading your blog because I can't handle people living in England and having English lives while I have to remain over here in the colonies. So, see ya. Have a nice life.

But jk, I will always come back. I wish I knew how to quit you. Just promise to put up lots of beautiful pictures.

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...
