So a college kid's life is certainly an odd one. This morning, for example, I had pizza for breakfast. I walked right into the food court at 9:00a.m. and was instantly assaulted by our friendly asian lady who works the counter at the Pizza Shak.
"How ah' you today? You want some pizz-ah?"
"I'm fine thanks, how are you?"
"How ah' you today? You want some pizz-ah?"
"Uh... yes. yes I would."
"How ah' you today? You want some pizz-ah?"
"Pepperoni please."
"How ah' you today? You..."
And so on... until I took my pizza up to the nice cashier lady, paid for it, and watched the "Chronicles of Riddick Trailer" while I ate my pizza it with a fork. This is basically my schedule once per week, the other days of the week i just skip breakfast... I wonder what my doctor would say about that?
The best part about the whole thing is that i just barely had granola and yogurt for lunch...

Jobless
I have just spent the past hour searching the internet, and the undernet, and the outernet, and all the nets that i can get my hands on, for job listings in Logan ut. I am here to testify, THERE ARE NO JOBS HERE!
Since when is it all about "who you know?" Where on earth did that come from? I know there has got to be a job up here, but i just dont have the right connections to get it. Is it always gonna be that way? I guess that's why families are getting closer together, it's no longer about my competence as an employee. it's who's dad knows my dad... Which is ok if i want a job with in the Battle Creek stake. Or at a Spa Company.
Otherwise, I'm just gonna have to trudge out on my own... become the man that everybody wants to hire! Employers will flock to me! I will have job offers coming upon me as the dews from heav'n distilling! Yeah... now if i can just figure out how to get to that point...

I'm Having a Dipole Moment
Today's post is simply because I want to write something. First off, I had a wonderful weekend with my beautiful fiance. I had the opportunity to attend one of her FIVE wedding showers... It was certainly a well done party, I felt a little out of place, (obviously) but soon enoughthe ladies got used to the idea that i wasnt going to simply disappear, and the angry looks subsided.
We also got to go to the Draper temple dedication, which was absolutely amazing. I felt the power of the spirit testify to my heart that this church is true. I also felt so right sitting with my amsy... I cant wait for may 2...

Wedding Lore

So who was the first couple to have a reception? Who was the first bride to heave her bouquet over her head and into the horde of unmarried screaming ladies who each secretely hate the bride for getting married before them. And who on earth came up with the wedding line?
Wedding traditions seem to have existed from the beginning of time, but honestly if Adam and Eve were able to get married while naked in a jungle, where on earth did we come up with what we've got now. Wedding pictures, engagement pictures, bridal pictures, pictures of the temple, pictures of the parents, pictures of the uncles, pictures of the aunts... the uncle's aunt and the aunt's ulcers!
I suppose it is all a one package deal, if you want to marry the girl you love you simply have to decorate the gym and wheel in the larger than life chocolate fountain replica of the "Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi" (Fountain of the Four Rivers) If I get my amsy for time and eternity after that, then it's all worth it!

Potto' gold

So, honestly I've never gotten that into St. Patricks day, I am one of those people Katy talked about in her blog that ignore some holidays. I think it all stems back from first grade, standing in a row with 30 other poor classmates singing an irish jig with a stupid paper beard and a funny hat, and all the while there are no presents or candy to be found. It's just gloomy mid march...
Why dont we celebrate something else around this time? I mean it is the Ides of March... That's a cool thing to celebrate. The ides of march means March 15, and it is the infamous day of Julius Caeser's assasination. The First despot of Rome! We should can the whole green thing and go with togas. The pot of gold becomes a heather wreath, and the little leprechauns become cute little conspirators, ready to assasinate anyone at a moments notice. The pinching would have to give way to mock stabbing. "Haha! Your not wearing a heather wreath! Take this!" "Et tu, Brute?" I can see this becoming a great family tradition.

Little Red Wagon
"When considering titles for each post, you must carefully consider exactly what you are trying to portray to the reader. The title should be catchy and clever, easy to read, and valuable in understanding exactly what the post is saying to the world. For example, "Pests" is an excellent way to open a paragraph about small singing hairy vermin, or "First Post" is an accurate description of the first post on your blog." Proper Blogging Content pg 342
This post is mostly worthless, im just bored. Done with school for the day, waiting for my roommates to be ready to go get food from the Walmarts, and i figure that if i just start writing a post, something has got to come to my brain about what to write.
...nope.
Well that was a huge waste of your time. sorry!
Off to walmarts!

How much is that toyota in the window?
Somewhere near the heart of downtown Salt Lake City lies a strange world i had never seen, nor even dreamt of before today, deep shadowed mysteries crept along the edges of my vision as i took my first steps into...
THE TWILIGHT ZONE
"Please resist the urge to turn your opening paragraph into something that can be mistaken as a movie trailer. You may think it's eyecatching, you may find it clever, or original, you may even believe deep in your heart that such an interesting paragraph will double your number of followers and earn your blog a Newbery or Caldecott medal. In all actuallity, it isn't, and it won't."

Today i went to a very boring place where i did some boring things and then drove home the boring way. I had to go get a drivers side door for the family's '91 camry, I went to a place that looked as if all the cars in the world had spontaneously exploded on the freeway and happened to land in piles near the side of the city cesspool.
After paying a greasy young lad a clean crisp $100.oo I was rewarded with the opportunity to carry the entire drivers side door to my car in anticipation of installing it when i got home...
Alas my cheery disposition at deconstructing and reconstructing an automobile were severely stifled when to my utter dismay i realized that the Japanese not only refuse to use the Imperial (inches) system, but they somehow have confounded the all knowing all seeing METRIC system... The bolts to attatch the door to the car are precicely 11.5 mm. so i have two options, wait until they invent a 11.5 mm wrench, or drive around without a door...
Any helpful hints?
