last night i couldnt sleep because it was too warm in my room. i decided to listen to my ipod for a little bit to see if that would bring me sleep. after listening to Mr. Bojangles by Neil Diamond twice, Glycerine by Bush once, and December, 1963 (Oh What a Night) by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons half way through i decided to take my pillow and sheet to the living room to see if that would work. Lucky for me my friend Mikey doesnt like sleep either and he was there playing NBA Live 07. Watching him play made me very tired and around the time that his game was going into overtime and he seemed upset that he had to play another 5 minutes of overtime i was asleep. i woke up twice and he was still playing which led me to believe that i hadnt been asleep long since overtime was only five minutes but this morning i was told he played another 3 games after that. AND WON ALL THREE!!!!! The 2007 Chicago Bulls are now 13-2 in their 82 game marathon of a season and are making an early run for the post season. Mikey had this to say: "wizards, raptors, and kings aint got nothin on me. I gave them the illusion they might win by allowing it to go into OT, but as soon as ben wallace secured the tip, i blew that game wide open." cocky or confident? we'll see as the season unravels. over the past years i have said that i am going to do a few things and have not yet accomplished them. i would now like to make a list of the things that i can remember. if there is anything that i am forgetting please remind me because i intend to complete everything on the list.
run a 1/2 marathon
start a clothing company
go to san francisco
do a triathlon
hike the y
watch all of season one of welcome back kotter
I think that about covers it. maybe there are more. but my mission now is to complete everything on the list and i will keep you, my small audience, posted.
on a side note i would like to mention the links to the songs that were mentioned in this post. first off thank you to youtube, you guys keep amazing me. i would like to make it clear the man singing mr. bojangles is not neil diamond but he brings as much passion to the song that neil would. the bush video would probably be my first mtv moment that i can remember and i believe i saw it the day after in 1996 at morgan taylors house, im sure kfc or dominos with orange juice was involved. the last video surprised me. i had no idea the drummer sang that song. it has turned my world upside down.

memorial day

a couple of weeks ago was memorial day. i met my family up at brianhead to celebrate the occasion. on sunday we drove to monroe utah where we decorated my grandparents graves and had a picnic at a local park. i consider myself to be somewhat athletic. i mean, i couldnt make any sports team at byu but i can throw a ball and stuff like that. for some reason my athletic abilities really struggled at that picnic. first, me and my brother-in-law decided to play catch with a baseball. i probably over threw him six times. sorry scott. then we played catch with a football and i over threw it and hit the top of the medal covering which was a good thing because if it hadnt it probably would have pegged devin in the head. sorry devin. then we were playing catch with a baseball again and i threw it and almost hit my nephew dax in the head. given that wasnt all my fault, the person who was supposed to catch it lost the ball in the sun and got out of the way. the ball bounced right over dax's head. i yelled watch out dax, fully expecting the one year old to react. he didnt and never even realized he was almost hit. sorry dax. then my dad found a frisbee and threw it to me. i threw it back as hard as i could and the stupid thing curved on me and landed on top of the metal covering, i dont think anyone really wanted to play frisbee but still, i can do better than that. after that i retired to sitting in the grass.
