A tribute

Bear Lake

If I were in Utah this weekend, I know where I'd be,
A place where its happy, and go-lucky, and free.
One of my favorite spots in the whole wide world,
It's not even mine! But oh how I've twirled.
You see, I like 360's, especially at the lake,
When there's monkey's in the bed, you can't be a flake.
And where would George go without a boat?
Or the rest of us keeping it all afloat?
This place is of dreams and sometimes of nightmares,
After scary stories, my pillow is covered in tears.
I'd say I love it for all of the movies we watch,
But with all my sleeping you'd think I'd had some scotch!
The food is always delicious and yummy and good,
I'd stay there forever, or at least a few days, if I could.
The location is great but what makes it most fine,
Are the people who go there, and the Ponderosa Pine.

I can't even tell you how happy this made me. I will recite it at the MLKJ day reading in honor of you.

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...
