Talented People

I know some foreal talented people. And because of their talents, I am benefiting. SUCKAS


Last night included a free yoga class taught by the B.Rae herself. Me and her go way back, and we may or may not have even traveled around Europe together.



Anyways, now she's all yoga master and is opening her own studio. If you're in the Provo area and want to get your butt kicked, go to her class. Its pretty awesome/intense. A couple months ago we got together and were talking about all the things we wanted to accomplish this year (we really like goals) and I'm super impressed that she's making this happen. Props to anyone putting themselves out there. Its tough but mostly worth it. And I still hurt from last night.


Then tonight! My dear friend Matt, whom I met on the first day of freshman year of college, had a performance. He plays the tuba. He loves the tuba. I've never actually met anyone who loves the tuba as much as this kid. And he's good.



(circa 2007...Reno)


Through the years I have heard my fair share of the tuba in various concerts. Tonight the Wind Symphony performed at BYU and so I went to bask in the music. As always, I left feeling satisfied with the twists and turns of the notes. When we were driving after the show, Matt commented on how I had gone to his very first concert at BYU and that tonight was most likely his last...and even though I don't even play the tuba, I felt a twinge of sadness.

The end of an era. So bittersweet!


Anyways, I sometimes forget how lucky I am to know so many awesome people. And this is just a couple examples, kids. I could go on forever about how I know someone who is colorblind but who can still name every single winning team of every World Series (he truly triumphs in his struggles), and someone who can take really good pictures, and someone who is always hungry, and someone who is following his passion to become an actor, and someone who is really good at watching Law and Order.


And I appreciate every.single.one of them.


That is all.

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...
