Ok... Let's go...

1- I'm writing you from my new laptop. Awesome, I know. I got a really good deal on it. It's so nice to have it with me up on campus. Most of you know of my fear of public places, the computer labs on campus are as public as they get. I'm scared to death of them. Plus, I can lay in bed, as I am now, & write you guys.

2- I've been reading my horoscope for religously for the better part of my life. You can believe my shock when I found out I am no longer a Capricorn. I found out Monday that I'm indeed a Sagatarius. I KNOW! Apparently, the witches and wizards added another sign. I don't know how I missed this. Just google 13 astrological signs. I'm gonna have to burn all my Capricorn stuff. This is gonna take some getting used to. Ask me about it in a few months & I'll let you know if I want to switch back.

3- I had an amazing week/ weekend with a few friends from Georgia. On Tuesday, my friend Carolyn came into town from SLC via Athens, GA. It was finally nice to meet her. We became friends on FB right before I quit. Since, we've been passing emails back and forth. Tuesday, I was to meet Carolyn, Mandilyn, James & kids at the shop to head out to LD's for aspectacular meal. That it was. I don't know why I'm not going out there more. I've got to put it into my rotation. Thursday, I left work a little early (More on that soon.) & met up with Mandilyn and Carolyn at Citrus and Sage. After a crepe, I took Carolyn up to campus. I gave her the now famous Tom tour. We hit all the sights. Ok... I showed her where she could become a True Aggie and the statue of Merlin Olsen. She's a big fan of Little House on the Prairie. Friday, after work, I headed to SLC to see the infamous Blackhole. I got into town a little early. So I picked up Mandilyn and headed over to the Tattoo Convention. That's where I met the rest of the people from Athens: Mike, Keith, Chris Parry & Chris Hamer. James was also in the booth. It was fun to finally meet them. My brother Dave has mentioned them quite a few times in conversations. From there, I took Carolyn to Burt's to see Blackhole. Saturday, I awoke in Eagle Mountain to fnd myself with a migraine. I had planned to interview my dad for my next installment of my English project, but could not do it. I felt better around 1730 & and headed to the convention for more fabulous people watching & art. It was a lot of fun.

4- The reason I left work early was for a doctors appointment. Just the eye doctor. I've got some new glasses coming my way. You're gonna be surprised.

5- Borders is on it's way out of Logan. It's a depressing scene to walk in there. Everything is 20-40% off. I'm stocking up on my reading material. Let me know if you want something, I'll check to see if they have it. This makes me sad. I've spent the last few Fridays in there wasting time before I head to the movie theater. Now what? Hastings?

I'll leave you with this...



Watch for the girl in the glasses... Mmmm...

See you in the future...

February 10th, 2011...

I'm sorry sorry for the delay between posts. I have been diligently writing my autobiography. Finally completed, I can spend some time on here.

1: I went to The Get Up Kids last Friday. I got a ticket from Jason for my birthday. Me, trying to keep up with my resolution of dating more, bought another ticket thinking I could find a date. Alas, no. It went unused, but I was glad to give the band more of my money. The Get Up Kids are in my Top Ten favorite bands. I love them, & they bring back so many fond memories of times gone by. From the first time I saw them at DV8 Basement with Drew, this makes show number 5. They've tied it up with... Drumroll... The Donnas (Rock 'n' Roll Machine, I'm an American Teenage Raider... Donna A. can take me away. She's one tall drink of water).

I get the chills every time they play this song live. I look up and think of people who should be there. As much as I don't want it too, life moves on, but you're in my thoughts more than you think. Especially, after writing my autobiography.

2: I've ventured into the world of online dating. It hasn't amounted too much, yet. One thing I will throw out to the inter webs... Ladies, I'm sure guys too, put your damn picture up if you're going to date online. No offense, but I pass right by you. We may be a match, but I'm not even going to pursue. I've grown balls & put a few up. Do yourself a favor & do the same.

3: Went up to the Bridal Faire again to find a lonely sister, but alas no such luck. I'll be honest; it scared me to death. Some one tried to sell me a ring. He didn't believe me that I was just walking through. Next year buddy.

4: With Valentine's Day on the horizon, I apologize in advance about my surliness. It's not a "holiday" I like much. I've thought many, many times that I should send flowers to myself, if just to get the whispers going in the other direction. I'll get through it. It would be nice once to spend it with some one other than me.

5: Last, everyone needs to buy the new Dave Hause album. It's amazing. I've loved everything he's done with The Loved Ones, but this truly hits my heart strings. The songs have so much feeling. Maybe, I just relate to the lyrics a lot or too much.

and a great cover of a Loved Ones song...

Hope all is well...

See you in the future...

PS... Do yourself a favor & watch Top Chef. Best reality show goin'.
