Into the Ocean

Last Saturday morning I woke up and had to be to my exam by 9am.

It was a horrible way to start a Saturday morning.  Or any morning, really.

The air was crisp.  There was a layer of frost covering the ground.  It was cold.

But still, the plans for the day had to continue.  We were to go to the ocean!  And jump into the freezing water.

And when I say we, I really mean two of my best mates here: Ben and John.

I had originally planned to join in the jumping of the ocean, but it was less than ideal circumstances. I figure I can wait to enjoy the freezing water when its not deathly cold outside.

John was an excellent driver, even though we had some sheep try to deter us.



This is a picture of their hands BEFORE they jumped in.  Not natural.



Ben and John were excellent wave riders.  The waves were really quite big and even though I'm pretty sure both of them ended up with signs of hypothermia, it was totally worth it.


I just want everyone to take a moment appreciate John's wetsuit.  He has remarkable calves. 



Best picture of Ben.  Ever.


A very unfortunate street map:



This street was rampant with crane games.  I love crane games.  



Scarborough, you are an excellent little place.  I want to go back right now.

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...
