too much

i would like to apologize. i realize my readers arent used to this many posts on sorisoclothing.blogspot.com. its thrown me off too. there are 10 employees in the tec lab right now and according to my stat sheet 2 people have been in in the last hour and a half, none of which needed help. so why not post? as most are aware who know him, MWE has been out of commission because of this. mikey belongs on a bike. a bike ride isnt a bike ride without mikey. today we are going on a bike ride. after a long search we finally found the only bike in provo with hitch to pull a wagon and a person willing to make the 14 mile jouney to the lake while towing mikey. her name is ashton and rides a schwinn. mikey prefers miyata but the wagon was such a perfect fit he couldnt turn it down.

no go san francisco

well, this is embarrassing. put the trip to san francisco back on the list. thank you everyone for taking your lives seriously and work seriously. thank you brittany for trying. august. it will happen. positives that came from not going: got to see sonic youth, um, so far thats it. today i did find a song that was popular in brazil that i have been looking for for a while now. i finally found it on youtube. the reason i liked this song was i felt it was very uncharacteristic of the typical popular music that i would hear in the streets of brazil. i think i heard usher "yeah" song everyday for 2 years. i watched this whole thing. staring at the sound meters going up and down. it put me in a weird mood. very thought provoking. i almost watched it 2 times in a row, but after a minute into the second time i realized i would never make it. well heres the song. enjoy.

mailbag

I leave today for san francisco. when i think of san francisco several thoughts come to my mind. one of which is the golden gate bridge. ive recently realized that my vision of the golden gate bridge has been tarnished by this (at the 42 second mark to be exact). most of you have probably seen this but now whenever i think of the golden gate bridge i think of a shark jumping up and biting it, i have only seen that trailer like twice but maybe its the fact that it looks so real. moving on. today is sorisoclothing's, soon to be renamed, first mailbag.
these are some emails ive have gotten in the last 24 hours

first email
"You have an important new message in your BYU Financial Center regarding your Financial Aid. You can navigate to the Financial Center as follows - BYU Home Page > RouteY > School > My Financial Center. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL MESSAGE. If you have questions or concerns, please send a message through your "Message Center" in "My Financial Center"."
-myfinancialcenter

me: thank you for the email, you guys always keep the anticipation up. instead of telling me the message you send me a message telling me to go somewhere else to get the message. those 10 seconds in between switching pages kills me everytime

next

"so kelli brown sent me this. I guess that movie that dane has been working on is actually a video of pictures of him in 10 years on a lovely vacation with the girl of his dreams. its special and i thought youd like to check it out. I didnt know you loved puma so much dane.

-JOL

me: thanks! team restlfull is super excited about this and we look forward to doing business with you. but please forward all emails to our manager/team member ERC. ps. i dont do euros.

in closing i would like to thank amazon, allposters.com, apple, university communications, and facebook for keeping my inbox full and making me feel like i have something important to read for a split second, i can always count on one of you guys to come through with an email or two

1 post ago

one post ago i made a list of things that i have said that i am going to do and people have started to call me out on for not doing. Im going to San Francisco this weekend. thats one off the list. feels good. only a few more to go. in other news this blog could be going through a major change. i do not like the direction this blog has taken, too political, too personal, and not enough comments. comments are my favorite part about blogs so instead of having a blog i figure why not just comment on other peoples blogs, its funner (not a word but should be) and i dont have to think as much or do as much. maybe this blog will remain, but the thing that bugs me the most is the title of this blog. i hate the phrase soriso clothing. it reads failure to me. so if this blog is to continue i will need to change the name. sorry, i know. in unrelated news, carmen san diego cannot be found. i have tried, honestly. i have captured criminal after criminal but she never is the person i catch. im starting to think she doesnt even exist. at first i struggled, but then i realized the game is a lot easier now that the internet is available. regardless, even with the internet, carmen cannot be found. in more unrelated news, stay away from the gravitron ride at any carnival (its fun at the time but not worth it after), and the game where you throw pingpong balls into glasses is impossible, and a fish might seem like a cool prize but you'll regret it as soon as you win it. now i would like to talk about twitter, i still dont get it. i have it, tried it, posted something once or twice, lost a bet that i could get steve nash to follow me, and have found out that shawn marion likes to party with mark cuban. so i guess it has changed my life. ive wasted enough time today to avoid studying, thats all

tayhookid vs. car

this last weekend i went to mexico with Kaiizen (yes thats a plug in, paid by click, not really) mexico was great but thats not what this post is about. on the way home as soon as we crossed the border and had reception i texted a friend to see if she wanted to go on a bike ride that night since i figured after 16 hours in a car thats what i would want to do. in reply i got a text message saying "you heard about mikey breaking his collarbone right?" no i hadnt. Mikey Ellis ran into a car when the car made a uturn causing him to use his collarbone to put a big dent in the car. im actually surprised that his collar bone broke because the first thing i ever heard about mikey ellis was that he has very strong collar bones. i asked mikey for a quote and all i got was spanish swear words. he did say it looked a lot like this
get better soon mike. if anyone would like to send comments or flowers or jokes or whatever please do so at tayhookid.blogspot.com
