The Start Of Something Beautiful...

Well, here we go again. If any of you have followed my since my "Writings To The World" and such...you all know that I become very hit and miss with this writing once a week thing. I don't know why I have such a hard time with it...I just get distracted or I turn bi-polar and lose interest in it or whatever...but hopefully I can keep on track with this one. I'm going to be using a lot more tools to my disposal, and hopefully you guys can support me enough to keep me motivated as well. Thank you SO much for all that have kept up with it and told me they enjoy it. I know I'm not funny all the time, but thanks for making me feel like I am. It means more than you can imagine. Also, again I posted all the old stuff from Facebook below. Sorry that all the links don't work. I'm going to be using my own way of keeping those up and running now so we should be fine. I made this blog viewable to everyone and is also able to have anyone comment as well...so we'll see how well that goes. I wish that there was a way to keep track of followers, but it seems you have to have a Blogger account or a Gmail account or something. Idk...we'll figure it out. :)

So hopefully everyone's Thanksgiving went well. Mine was as normal as it's always been. Driving to everyone's house constantly and such. Not horrible or anything, but it can get a bit tiring after awhile of doing it so many years. Gotta love divorced parents right? Started out going over to Lex's house, then up to Layton for my Mom's place. Then back down to Lex's...then to my Dads girlfriend's place, then to his house, then back home. Lots of stops, lots of people, lots of food, and not enough sleep. Lol. At least my Packers won. :) What's your favorite Thanksgiving food? I find that many families do different things. I mean, you typically have the turkey and mashed potatoes and stuffing...but then you have random stuff in there as well. Personally my favorite thing I look forward to is the Yams. Something about them just makes me happy at this time of year. Only this time of year though, I tried them once in July and yeah....not so grand. Also I'm a big pumpkin pie fan...and it seems that everyone knows that now too. Got a pie from my mom and Lex's mom, then was offered some at my dad's gf place. Sigh...I can't handle that much! Good thing I have Cool Whip to go with it though. :)

So I hear that Black Friday wasn't so bad. I mean, nowadays with people opening up at midnight, I guess it can't be too horrible. Also I didn't hear too many things were on that "awesome deal" section of the store. Seems like companies can't really afford to do it either. Interesting stuff. Anyone get any sweet deals?

I am going to apologize before hand and say that I won't have an uber long post like I did back in October. I haven't been feeling all that hot the last day or so and sitting here trying to think just isn't happening. My creative side is suffering due to whatever is trying to Destroy My Body (No, it's not The Swine). So I am going to move on to my awards and such, and get ya'll on your way. More will come soon...I promise. :) On a slight sidenote as well, I'm trying a thing with Google and their ads. If you do see something that you're interested in with the ads please go ahead and check it out. Google is really good about putting up ads that are legit and that actually have some good stuff in there, so it could help out both of us.

FML of the week: "Today, I woke up and looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was covered in glitter. I asked my wife about it and she said she put it on me while I was sleeping so that I would sparkle like Edward from Twilight when I'm in the sunlight. FML."

Thanks everyone. Also for those of you that were wanting a sports section I apologize again. I need to actually start caring about basketball and I don't see that happening very well with me focused on football currently. It will come. Seems BYU is up by 3 in the 4th quarter currently as well. Guess we'll see what happens there. Sorry to say for all you that live near me, I'm more of a Utes fan than a BYU. But they are both good. If you guys were wanting to see scores and my fantasy stuff, look off to the right here and I have them all there through Widgets. Now all you guys can tell me how bad my fantasy teams are...YAY! ;)

That's Done...

Ok, got all the old stuff put in. It's 3:35am now and I need to sleep. I'll get things posted up soon and start getting a structure going here on how I want to set this up. If anyone has any suggestions on what to write on as for categories and stuff, let me know. I understand that it's a blog, so I have to write about myself (which isn't hard for me) and whatnot, but I would like it to attract more people other than those who just know me. I'm sticking with most of the same stuff from the "Random Week Stuff"...but we'll go from there. Follow me too if you can/like. :)

"Random Week Stuff #8" 10/7/09

Alright, let's attempt to do this all over again. I do like writing and keeping you all updated with the way my BRAIN works and stuff, but it can be pretty taxing when I do try to make it perfect and ENTERTAINING. As we speak, I'm attempting to write all this out at work, and hopefully I am successful cause I don't really want to do it at home. Then I just lose more time from video games and other things. ;) Not that big of a deal, but still. Oh, and just a random side note...if any offers to download Open Office for you cause they say it's the same as Microsoft Office...smack them. Open Office is horrible, and I hate typing in it right now too.

As for what's been going on in life, there really hasn't been much. Just still at the same old computer job here at Invisus...still helping the same OLD people that don't understand computers. It's fine, I mean, they do pay my bills in exchange for my assistance...but sometime you want to pop. You all know how it goes I'm sure. I still live in Orem at Village on the Parkway...with good old KYLE BROWN. I wonder how many times I can say “old” in this post. Though it should be ol' instead of old. Oh well. I'm still dating Lex and we are now past the good old three year mark as well. Yeah yeah, I should probably marry her and all you guys are so weirded out that I haven't. Well...sorry. It'll happen. But you all should know I'm not that normal kinda guy when it comes to these things. But when you get that invite in the mail then you know something cool is going to happen.

So let's talk about October. Lots of people like this month for some reason. Personally I don't mind the month. It's the month that makes me remember the next two months are going to be amazing. The cold air rushing in and my comforter isn't melting my body anymore makes me pretty happy. My Mom's birthday is on the 17th...(I really hope I got that right...pretty bad at birthdays)...and yes, the good old holiday of HALLOWEEN. I wish Halloween was different. I mean, it's a cool concept and stuff, but I just find it to be so dull once you hit 13 or so. Trick or Treating is the best part about Halloween...hands down. But as time went on and more and more parents became paranoid...it seems that even Trick or Treating is starting to lose it's fun. Remember running through neighborhoods trying to hit all the houses you could to get as much candy as possible? It was amazing! It was fun and exciting! Now though, your parent takes you to a church parking lot for a TRUNK OR TREAT and you hit the back of cars of people you know while your mom/dad watch over your shoulder the whole time. I find it odd that it's the trunk. Getting candy from people out of their cars seems WAY more bad news than from their house. It just seems like it loses the excitement. Moving along with Halloween...you then get older and you have pretty much three choices.:

1. Go out with a little kid and stare over their shoulder for the parents so they can go do option two...which is-
2. Go to a party with a bunch of people and get drunk or do something RETARDED like talk about what crazy scary foods were made and brought, along with how awesome the decorations are. The last option is-
3. Stay at home and pass out candy...which is lame because you don't really worry about it because you passed it out earlier in the day from your car...so now you usually just sit in front of the TV and help out a few other kids that come to your door. I think I just hate that there's no real excitement anymore with it. The only thing that is really exciting to me about Halloween is going to the Haunted Houses and stuff. But even then you deal with over pricing, bad acting, and over-crowded areas. Last year I went to the one in American Fork...the HAUNTED FOREST. First off...they have two things there, (well, they did last year. Not sure what it's all about this year) they have the forest and then a small haunted house. The Hollow costs 20 bucks, and the House does as well, but if you buy them together they knock off like five bucks. So...coming from my point, I have a date with me. So I just dished out 70 bucks to do this date. And when you go into the house, it takes about 10 minutes cause it's small and worthless. I mean, they do a good job don't get me wrong, but if you go with a group of 10 people and you have a group of 20 behind you the whole time pushing you through it, you don't really enjoy it whatsoever. The forest was cool too, but again, due to having a huge group with you and following you, the intensity of it all just becomes nonexistent, and it just makes the money not worth the actual time and experience. There was actually a part we got to in the whole Hollow where there was about 60-80 people all in one area! How are you supposed to be scared of that?! Really lame. Anyway, I just wish Halloween was cool again. Maybe if someone set up something where you get to run through a corn maze or a haunted area with a paintball gun and shoot people dressed as Zombies or something I would really love it again. Maybe I should start that....hmmm....


Masks are fun. Especially when you start walking around wearing one of THESE ones...people get freaked out. :)

I think if I eat McDonald's breakfast I don't have to eat for the rest of the day. Wow...I feel full.

I think I'm going to talk about my music taste for the moment. I find that people do seem to find a mold to fit when it comes to their music and they stick with it. Nothing against my friends or family, but I find that people are pretty much stuck on the same style and dance of music...which kinda makes me sad. Well, except for my sister. She seems to be more like me and likes everything and likes to hear new things. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of styles and bands that get on my nerves quickly, but I do have a pretty open mind when it comes to the music. For example, right now I am really enjoying Anchor and Braille. It's the lead singer from Anberlin's little side project, and it's really mellow and somewhat electronica. But, then I will listen to some Pearl Jam and then hit up Paramore. After that I go over to some Dear in the Headlights and then usually finish off with some Thrice or Brand New. I think what I'm not enjoying as of late is whiny boy headlining bands that play piano. I mean, I got Something Corporate and Muse for that...and at least Muse has some real talent. Oh, and Billy Joel as well. Just something about all of them coming out as of late that doesn’t catch my interest anymore. I'm starting to like the heavier stuff as well...but only if it's different from the normal Metallica or other random "I'M A HARDASS" bands. I just don't enjoy those groups. What I'm referring to is bands like the Deftones. Man I love the Deftones. Anyway...I'm just rambling now. Here's a few new CDs you should go check out, and here's a few new CDs you should pull off the shelf and just smash under your foot immediately when you see them.

Get:
Brand New – Daisy
Pearl Jam – Backspacer
Paramore – Brand New Eyes
Anchor & Braille – Felt
Kings Of Leon – Only By The Night

Smash:
Sugar Ray – Music For Cougars
Taking Back Sunday – New Again
The Used – Artwork
Vertical Horizon – Burning The Days
A.F.I. - Crash Love

Let me explain a few of these here...just so some don't try and KILL me. I have already kinda touched base on Anchor & Braille. So just remember that the band is really mellow with the right touch of Anberlin in it. Kings of Leon will always be amazing, and that album has been out for awhile, and if you don't have it....smack yourself and go pick it up now. It's a powerful album...and there are just some songs that will put you in a trace where you will find yourself feeling more and more in tune with your emotions. It's brilliant. As for Brand New's new(?) album...you have to have an open mind. As some of you might have seen when Kyle and I picked up the leaked copy of it, his status stated it clearly. “Brand New is always just...well...brand new.” This album isn't like the one before, or the one before that, or the one before that. Now come to think of it, none of the albums have ever really sounded the same, and this one is definitely no exception. Be careful when buying this album...you'll find that it might not fit you as well as you think. Paramore's new album has surprised me actually. The reason why I say to pick it up is because it's not really like the last one. I mean, there are similar things, but you can tell she really has upped her vocals.

As for the smashes...Sugar Ray will always be in my heart as a wonderful band to make me smile. Though, usually when a band makes an album after they have already made a “Greatest Hits” one...it tends not to be so awesome. Only exception to this recently I have found is Pearl Jam and Third Eye Blind. But 'Music For Cougars' just isn't that pleasant. A.F.I. just sounds washed up. I'm done with it. This has to be the album that breaks it. I hope so at least. Finally I'll touch on The Used since this is the one people are going to complain about. I'm sorry, this album is better than the last one that's for sure, but it's still nowhere near being a good album. You can tell when the band was doing well and was really into it for the music and the love of the art. The only 'Artwork' I'm seeing with this is that they can paint the same old picture, good old hard riffs and heavy drums while Bert tries to actually show that he has some meaning in his songs. This is nowhere near being as good as the first two albums. Just steal the album if you want to challenge my word...and then you'll thank me for not spending money on it.

So this last weekend I drove up to good old Layton. Wasn't a bad time. Went and saw ZOMBIELAND with the peeps. Sorry for the bad seating...but it really wasn't my fault! There was a giant line in front of us! Sigh...anyway. Epic movie. A must see. I don't care if you don't see rated R movies...just do it. I laughed...a lot. I pretty much cried too...cause I was laughing. Oh, and EMMA STONE is fetching gorgeous in this movie. Not that I'm a huge fan of her or anything, just in this movie it felt so right. Ah Columbus...you lucky, lucky man. After that we went to Shane's and hung out and whatnot. By the way...don't drink people's stuff unless you plan on paying for at least some of it. You can't expect to get free hand outs all the time unless you're in some way going to pay it back...and no...having people take care of you is not the way to go on that. Sorry kiddo. That pretty much sums that night up. It was fun to see Mitch again. Man, that kid is one good guy. Makes me want to move up there to hang out with him more. Eh, he'd get sick of me though. ;)

Anyway, I think we'll head to sports so we can start wrapping up this giant post. Ladies...cover your ears...or eyes...or...just scroll down I suppose. ;)

Well, I just barely finished watching the Twins beat the Tigers in 12 to win the tie breaker in the AL Central. Amazing game…so much was on the line. It’s crazy to watch a whole season of work come down to one game. I was rooting for the Tigers, but the Twins is a good team to go with as well. So…just if anyone didn’t know…the playoffs are now starting. Here’s who’s there.

Rockies VS Phillies
Dodgers VS Cardinals

Angels VS Red Sox
Twins VS Yankees

Now just to give my predictions on these teams…for this good old start…I say this:

Rockies take it in 5
Cardinals take it in 4
Angels take it in 4
Yankees take it in 4

If you would like to know all the way…I say:

Cardinals over the Rockies in 6
Yankees over the Angels in 6

World Series: Cardinals VS Yankees….Yankees win in 6.

I know I hate to say it, but I do believe the Yanks are going to pull it out. I love the Cards…but I just see them falling apart down the stretch. Who knows though…it’s baseball. Things happen.

As for football, I’m a big Packers fan if you guys didn’t know. Yeah, yeah…we lost to Farve and the Vikings on Monday. I know. But it was still a good game. I will always enjoy Farve and the way he plays the game. He’s a respectable player. Can’t make up his mind for nothing…but a good player nonetheless. I don’t have much else to say about this good old sport other than it’s been fun so far...especially with having fantasy football teams. Oh, and if you were wondering…I am the winner in all three of my fantasy baseball leagues. Yay for me eh? ;)

"Random Week Stuff #7" 6/16/09

Hey everybody! Sorry for skipping out on last week. Just wasn't feeling it like I said...and yes...I really didn't have much to say. But here I am again. Thanks again for all of you that actually read this. :)

So does anyone know of any cheap vacations? Cause I would love to go on one this summer and all, but it seems like no matter what I want to do I'm going to be spending a ton of money. So yeah...let me know if you guys know of something other than just CAMPING UP THE MOUNTAIN or HANGING IN A RANDOM SOMEONE'S BASEMENT.

So I'm going to vent about VERIZON WIRELESS here for a bit. Here's the skinny. My phone has been a bit on the fritz as of late. I charge up the battery and stuff, and lately throughout the day my phone will just die. Then...it started to be more constant. Though, when it happens I could watch it die. For example, I will charge my phone full. Then if I just text on it all day it's usually dead after about 8 hours. But...if I make a call right after I charged it...it'll probably die after about 15 minutes. Same thing if I use an app or use the camera or whatever. It's retarded. So, I went in to the Verizon dealer in the Orem mall. Talked to them about the problems...told them what was happening. Now, I'm a pretty savvy guy when it comes to electronics. I understand them and everything for the most part. I've been using a cell phone for over 13 years. I mean come on. Anyway, I go in there and they tell me that it could be the battery, but since I am three software upgrades behind that it could be that. Now, that in my mind is retarded. How in the world could a software upgrade make it so my battery doesn't die? Anyway, he told me that he could get me a battery but they didn't have any at this store and stuff too. So I asked if I could do a software upgrade and he pretty much told me that he didn't want to since they were closing in like 45 minutes or so. So...that sucked. This was Thursday night.

So I couldn't go in on Friday cause we were busy at work and after work I just wanted to get up to Layton and stuff. So on Saturday morning I go to the Verizon dealer in the Layton mall. Tell them about what's going on with my phone and stuff and they tell me that they can do the software upgrade no problem. Takes like 45 minutes and stuff. But...since they were in a different area than Verizon they did things differently when it came to batteries. They told me that they had to do a 6 HOUR battery test where they charge it all the way up and then they had a machine that makes a call with it and tests it. Now that's retarded. Let me remind you that all of this is under warranty by the way. So I didn't want to leave my phone for 6 hours...mainly cause that's retarded. So I get my software upgrade. About 20 minutes after my software upgrade my phone starts freaking out. When I hit the END BUTTON it would make the whole screen dark and stuff...but the phone was still responsive. Only way to fix it was to take the battery out and put it back in...and even then that didn't fix it half the time. So today (Mon) I go into the Verizon store on the Orem strip (University Parkway). Go in and talk with a tech guy and pretty much tell him that my phone is crap, it's under warranty...and he needs to replace it now cause I'm pissed. So he replaces my phone. Sweet. :)

So I get my phone, go to my car and start setting up my phone. I decide that I want to drive to the Orem mall and get some ICEBERG, cause it sounds fetching awesome at the moment. As I'm driving there I'm downloading some of my apps again and in the middle of downloading one my whole phone shuts off again cause of the battery saying it's dying. Now this confuses me. So when I get to the mall I go into the Verizon store and ask about my phone. Turns out they don't replace the battery cause it's under a different warranty and stuff. So...again...when I have been telling them that my battery is the problem the whole time they don't listen to me and do more stupid stuff. The girl I talked to wouldn't get me a battery cause I just barely got the new phone and I needed to "test" it out to make sure it's really the battery. Yeah...I've already today fully charged my battery three times and it's died within the hour. Pretty much the only way I can use it is if I leave it on the charger. It's super lame. So...tomorrow I get to go in there again and demand a battery since I can't even use my damn phone. Blah. End of story.

Sorry for how fetching long that was...but it felt good to write it out.

As for other news...I have another confession to tell about. I did it again. Lol. Saturday at Shane's party I got drunk for the first time. Not drank for the first time...but drunk. The way it happened? CROWN ROYAL and MONSTER. But hey...I liked it. :) That party was pretty fun. Props to me for making a good all around play list right? Sorry about the SAVAGE GARDEN and CHRISTINA AGUILERA though. That was mainly just to make people laugh...even if I do like it. ;) I'm going to give out some mini awards for people though for the PARTY. Hopefully you guys don't get pissed! :)

All in all it was a good time. I'm not mad at anyone or anything...I'm just giving you guys a hard time. I'm sure there will be more pics and vids that will be posted by others later on down the road. Just to give a heads up to my drunk experience....it was a really weird feeling. After I downed my Crown and Monster...I downed Fred's cause he's really too much of a pussy to do it himself...and then about three minutes later it just hit me like a WAVE. I laughed hysterically on the kitchen floor while Fred kicked me (medium hard like) in the ribs. Didn't really feel it. Mainly cause everything got really numb...hence why I was lying on the floor. It was a crazy feeling. I just smiled a lot and then when I could walk again (20-30 minutes later) I just went around and talked to everyone and told them how cool they were and anything else I thought I should tell them. I knew what was going on...I probably had a slight slur on my speech, but I knew what I was saying. It was nice to know what people were always shooting for when they drink. And I knew why it was retarded to go further cause I'm sure if I drank more it wouldn't have been so GOOD. Thanks again Kellie for feeding me water through the night so my head didn't hurt. :) But it was fun. I think I'll do it again someday...just not for awhile.

As for the other stuff that's going on in my life...there's not really too much. I can't wait for the Orem Owlz to start playing here in the next few weeks. I'll actually have something to do at night! Well...you know what I mean...that's active and stuff. I just am losing interest and motivation in all the things I used to be involved in. Isn't that a sign of a personality disorder? Hmmmm....

Sports time girls. ;)

So the Lakers win. Grats whatever. Who cares. I mean, we knew it was going to happen. Big surprise. Now we can go sit around and talk about nothing unless you like baseball. Which...no one does except for me. Super lame. Football starts in a few months...then some people will have something to say at least. Till then...I get to rant about baseball. :)

All you really need to know about baseball at the moment is this. All the pitchers that were amazing last year aren't that great this year. Yes...some of them are doing good and stuff...but not as good as the hype was about them. Makes me sad. But...it's all good. Pitching is hard work...and a whole off season can make people change and whatnot. Other things you need to know is that the Yankees and Red Sox are back in the races while the Rays and Blue Jays fall off their high horse. I hate the Red Sox. Rangers are still doing well and the Tigers are too if we are talking about the AL. But other than that...there's not much excitement going on over there.

This week is inter-league play. Meaning the NL plays the AL based on their Regions and stuff. Which is cool for the fans cause you get to see teams play that never would cause the likely-hood of them meeting in the World Series was just so unlikely. So you get to see the Angels and Dodgers play, the Yankees and the Mets, Phillies and the Red Sox, Rangers against the Astros, and the Rockies against the Rays.........wait? The Rockies against the Rays? Those guys are opposite sides of the continent. Way to go and screw that match up MLB! Oh well...

Last things you need to know is just what to bring up if you find yourself in the midst of all us baseball fans. Rockies are on an 11 game tear right now. It's insane. They are playing the Rays tomorrow but it should be a good matchup for them. The Nationals are still the worst team in baseball. Manny comes back in about 3 weeks...meaning Dodger fans will have a lot to talk about and debate. And of course...who leads in home runs. :)

Home Runs:
1. Adrian Gonzalez, SDG 22
2. Raul Ibanez, PHI 22
3. Albert Pujols, STL 22

"Random Week Stuff #6" 6/2/09

Hey all, hope you guys had a good week and weekend. I know mine went pretty well. At the moment, I want to talk about some new music that just came out. So...here we go.

First off we'll get Eminem out of the way. His new album is pretty decent. I mean, it's still the same whiney stuff like he had before...but there are some definite changes involved. I guess he went through a big drugs and drinking deal, and he raps/sings about it as well. In his RELAPSE album look for great songs like "Crack A Bottle", "Deja Vu", and "Beautiful". To be honest though, that's about as good as it gets from him. The rest is his typical stuff lately that isn't all that wonderful. 2/5 from me.

I was going to do about 2 more or so...but I decided I rather move along. So I'll finish up with the new Dave Matthews cd.

BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING is an amazing album. Dave Matthews kind of was in a slump there for a bit in my mind. The last few albums had a hit and that was about it. No real feel to it. This album is all inspired mainly on their sax player who was killed in an ATV accident. They recorded a bit of the album with him already, and then the accident happened. So you find that the album has an interesting feel to it. The sax plays through the first part and slowly it fades out and it goes more into a heart felt vibe. Look for some intense songs like "Funny The Way It Is", "Baby Blue" and "You and Me". The other songs are great as well, but those are my favorite. Definitely a big album for the Dave Matthews collection. :) 4.4/5 from me.

Kyle has a movie going on in his room at the other end of the apartment. I can hear it almost word for word in my room. I've even texted him to tell him it's that loud...but apparently he doesn't pay his cell phone bill. Fail. 3:00 am movie blasting FTL.

Moving along...seems like my baseball game I was going to has fell through. :( Makes me SAD. But it's fine. Guess people rather do other things which is understandable. I need to find some friends that are really into baseball. Seems they don't really exist nowadays.

So I'm really upset with some people lately. Seems that most people are just out for themselves sometimes. I mean, we all do it...and I know that I have before. But it's really crappy when you have people you're close with and they just kinda have ya there for their own gain and good. No appreciation for what you really offer them through friendship or comfort. Why can't people see what friends are really about and have the comfort that people care about them and for them. Not only that, but when you do have someone you love or that loves you...why not hold on to it? Why would you want to even try and mess it up? Just doesn't make much sense to me at times. If you have heard the song "The Perfect Ending" by Straylight Run...I really feel like it hits home when it comes to some of this stuff. My favorite part is the chorus...where it goes:

So if you made it,
Just be glad that you did and stay there,
If you ever feel loved or needed,
Remember that you're one of the lucky ones,
And if it's over,
Just remember what I told you,
It was bound to happen so just...
Keep moving on,
There are no perfect endings,
No perfect endings.

We can only the make the best of what we have...and always know that there isn't "perfect endings". It's only what we make of it. If you want the full lyrics go ahead and go HERE.

Sports time. :)

So I don't think I'm going to try predictions with basketball for awhile. I mean, at least from this year. This year has been just way too crazy. Magic/Lakers? I mean...we saw the Lakers getting there...but the Magic? Wow. Pretty impressive. Personally I want the Magic to win it...and I have no clue who will. Howard is looking good...and his team is impressive. Kobe and his gang is just blah to me. I'm tired of seeing them. I want the yellow to die. Other than that, I don't have much to say on it. Thoughts?

Just so everyone knows...(since I'm so proud of myself) I am ranked first overall in all three of my fantasy baseball leagues this week. I'm a winner! ;)

Speaking of baseball...I have been following it so much I just can't even place some thoughts on what I would want to talk about. All I'll say for this week is grats to the Yanks for coming back from a slump at the beginning of the season and rocking it. Grats to the Rangers for holding the AL best record...and grats to the Dodgers for being incredible this year. No worries guys...my Mariners were looking hot till they blew a seven point lead on Saturday and lost to the Angels...and then lost today to the Orioles one to nothing. Blah. Oh, and let's not forget the home run race. :)

Home Runs:
1. Adrian Gonzalez, SDG 21
2. Raul Ibanez, PHI 17
3. Carlos Pena, TAM 17
4. Albert Pujols, STL 16
5. Mark Teixeira, NYY 16

"Random Week Stuff #5" 5/26/09

Hi everyone, let's just dive right into this week.

What creates loneliness? It seems that even when you are surrounded by the people that you love and that love you it still creeps up on you and makes you feel down. It's pretty lame. So what is it? Unhappiness? Who knows...but I wish we could find the way to not feel like it. At least for me.

Another debatable item at hand...is dog fighting rings. Look, I'm against animal cruelty and such. I don't think it's a good thing to have around and I do believe that it's wrong. But really people...get off Vick's back about this. He's going to get hell for it forever, and really...there are worse things that people have done and got away with and forgiven for. Look around the world though people. You got the run of the bulls, which leaves tons of bulls killed in the streets. You have cock fighting rings down in Mexico that is a big deal. You got poachers going on in Africa and trapping animals for anything. Now don't get all pissed off at me for saying all this...I just want to know people's opinions and how they are feeling on the subject. If you don't know who MIKE VICK is, he's a former quarterback for the Falcons and was busted for dog fighting. If you want to know more info on it, go HERE. Anyway, again to state I think that it's wrong what he did. I think it's cruel and that the he deserves what has happened to him. But at the same time I think that when all this is over with, he should have the chance to redeem himself. Everyone deserves a second chance. Thoughts?

As for what's going on in my life...there's not much happening. My Memorial Day was full of working and sitting around in my room. Yay. It's ok...time and a half is always good. Other than that I'm just trying to figure out the summer and all. It's for sure on people. June 12th weekend I am going to Colorado to see the Mariners and Rockies play. Fred is definitely in, and Shane says he's going...which means he'll go cause I'll kick his butt if he doesn't let me take him to his first game. So anyway...if you want to come please let me know. If we get another person or two...I'm going to see if I can borrow the van and we can all be comfortable on the drive. It'll be fun! Let's do it! :)

Sports time my friends. :)

Well, look what we got going on here! Denver beats LA by 19? What? I watched the fourth quarter...and I have to say that LA is going to have some issues if Denver can keep that fire going. They were just toying with LA that whole quarter. And the more I watch Kobe try and run the whole game and take all the shots...the more I realize that LA is going to fail. I think Denver still has it. And I want Denver to take it. :) As for the Magic/Cavs series, I'm just baffled. I really thought that the Cavs had that one in the bag. But wow...the Magic really have stepped it up and pulled through. LBJ has the power and all...but that just isn't enough with the Magic shutting it all down. I still think that's anyone's series though...and Game Four is going to be a big deal here. Guess we'll find out what will happen eh boys? :)

As for the baseball world that I know oh so many of you guys care about....it's going well. The top teams we have for the start of the week are NL: Dodgers, Brewers and Phillies...AL: Rangers, Tigers, and Red Sox. Now...what's great about all this, is that the Dodgers are killing it without Manny. Pierre is still tearing up the boards along with Hudson and others. The Brewers have topped out the Cardinals which is a pretty amazing feat for sure. The Cubs on the other hand have lost 8 in a row...which is no good for them in the NL Central. Phillies are a no brainer down there, but the Mets are on their tail. As for the AL, this is where it all gets interesting. The Rangers aren't the strongest team. They usually fail by mid-season or somewhere around there and drop out the the race. Angels are the team usually on top and hard to beat. But...they have flipped flopped roles this year so far. The Mariners aren't horribly behind but they just can't keep it up. As for the Tigers, this is the biggest thing when it comes to all this. The AL Central has always been fairly weak. But the Tigers have never really been a team that was a contender. It's usually the White Sox or the Twins. But with the Tigers taking the lead by four games, it's nice to see something a bit different. As for the AL East...blah. Red Sox on top again. This is mainly due to the Blue Jays losing eight in a row, making them fall from first. Doesn't help either when the Yankees are on a 10 game tear. Now, I have always hated the Yankees more than the Red Sox...but this year...there is just something about the Yanks that I'm very impressed with. Red Sox can still go blow themselves though. ;) Oh, and A-Rod can go ahead and get himself hurt again. I wouldn't mind that. Though he's doing very well since he's been back for sure.

I want to keep up with the home run race. So here's our top 5:

Home Runs:
1. Raul Ibanez, PHI 17
2. Adrian Gonzalez, SDG 17
3. Carlos Pena, TAM 15
4. Albert Pujols, STL 14
5. Adam Dunn, WAS 14

That's all I got for baseball. Anyone see how Syracuse won in OT over Cornell in lacrosse? That was pretty cool to see as well.

"Random Week Stuff #4" 5/19/09

Better week going on this time. So no worries here. Sorry again for being somewhat late on this again. Just had no motivation to do this last night. Mainly cause I have started over on Fallout 3 and also cause Lex was still hanging around town. Can I just say that Fallout 3 is fetching amazing? If you're looking for a great game to get yourself into that's single player...definitely pick that sucker up. Also been playing a lot of Call of Duty: World at War. Another wonderful game to be playing on Live. Lots of fun for sure.

So I'll be straight with you all. Since I always have been and such. And mainly cause I have been dying to just get it off my chest. I had my first drink last weekend. Yeah, yeah...not that big of a deal. But going this long without it ever has been a pretty big feat for me in my mind. All I got to say though is...really? People actually enjoy that? I find it so utterly gross. I mean yeah, you can get your mixed drinks and fruity stuff...but still. So not enjoyable. Especially for the money you put out for it. Yeah I know when people drink with problems and stuff they don't really care about the taste and stuff so it probably doesn't matter. But for people that go out and just have a drink at dinner and stuff...why? Soda is like 4 bucks cheaper and refillable. Not only that but it's 10 times more tastier. Meh, guess it's a matter of preference. Just so you know, it's all Shane and Fred's fault. Not mine. ;) jk jk. It was time. I'm one of the people that needs to experience things before I judge them for the most part. Excluding smoking and drugs. Pretty sure I don't need to do that to know I don't want them. Anyway, don't judge and stuff. Just letting it out. :)

So the new place is doing alright. Not a full house quite yet. Just four of us living here all in our own rooms. Pretty nice actually. We'll have another guy moving in here in about two weeks I think. Then if someone else moves in it probably won't be till Fall. Kyle broke our air conditioner today due to him being sick. So I am assuming he was BURNING UP with a fever and that's why he set it to 60 and it stopped working. It's kicked back on now here at 2:30 am. So, maybe it just locked up for a bit or something. Not entirely sure. Either way I need to talk to the office about getting paid for the computer work I did for them, so I might as well mention the AC and see if they will come take a look at it. I have absolutely no money in my account. Good thing I get paid on Wednesday. Hopefully it's enough to cover everything and also a bit more as well. Guess we'll find out.

I finally got around to watching STEP BROTHERS on Saturday night. Lex and I rented it after going out to eat (thanks for paying babe) and she ended up falling asleep. So I just went ahead and watched it. All I got to say about the movie is that if you like crude films...this is your playground. I rank it right up there with Role Models and Knocked Up. Love all these movies that are coming out. Plus it's just nice to see Will Farrell go back to his crude ways instead of all the kid movies he keeps doing. Guess you can't pull an Eddie Murphy forever. :)

My left speaker on my laptop is blown. Really pisses me off.

Sports time girls. Scroll down as usual if you don't want to read. :)

Ok. So my predictions were a little off. But only with the games they were going to end on and such. Cavs/Hawks I was dead on. Celtics/Magic I went with the Celtics...and yes, Magic pulled it off. Boston was just too tired...and they just wanted to stay home. You could tell. It was a good run Boston, but it's time for all your sports teams to fail again. :) (At least we hope). As for the Western side of it all, Lakers/Rockets I was right about the Lakers making it. I was extremely surprised that they took it to Game Seven. But you know if you push the Lakers to a Game Seven they are going to wake up and get pissed off. It's like throwing rocks at a dog. It might bark a bit and growl, but once you push it into a corner it's going to come out teeth bared and biting. I was very impressed watching the Rockets. Who knew that those little guys could actually do so much? Sheeze. Nuggets/Mavs I was off by a game, but the Nuggets pulled it off. Now it's all on the finals. On the East for sure we got the Cavs that are going to push through. The Magic will give them a run for their money for sure, but not till later. I see the first two games going to Cleveland. Hands down. They just have so much energy and hype right now and Orlando is tired and shaky. We'll see what happens. But I'm saying for this series that:

Cavs will beat the Magic ending in Game Five.

As for the West, Lakers/Nuggets will be a fun one to watch. The way it was going to be is if the Rockets beat the Lakers, I would have no doubt that Denver would beat Houston in 5 games. Hands down. Denver is an awesome team this year. But since the Lakers have moved on, it's very much in the air now. I am going to say that this series will end as:

Nuggets will beat the Lakers ending in Game Seven.

Bold prediction I know. But hell, we have had almost half the series that were played go to Game Seven, and we gotta keep living the hype right? :) I would cite more about why I think these matches would go this way with more players being in the mix and why this and that...but man, It's almost 3:00am. I want to get this over with. ;)

Another fun thing to read about is this: CONFLICT...Seems that the management at Kroenke Sports wasn't being very supportive for the team that they own. The Denver Nuggets. (Go ahead, watch the movie it's a lot better than reading.) :)

Baseball. Ahhh...I'm just loving it right now. Yes the Mariners are struggling a bit, but it's alright. In all three of my fantasy baseball leagues I am currently in first place. Big awesome pat on the back for me. Lol. Just to give you a bit of an update on all the hype, this is what's going on. I'm not going to cite every team even though I really could if I want to.

A's: Last place in the AL West currently. They are being trashed in almost every game, their pitching is just not enough to handle anything currently. Averaging about 5-6 run loss every game.

Yankees: Bouncing back heavily. They have won eight of their last ten games, and they are adjusting nicely to their new park. Still going to stand by my feelings on how their new park is just fetching ridiculous. Hitters heaven there by far.

Tigers: Still first place in their division. Miguel Cabrera is hitting .375 at the moment being 2nd highest in the AL. Strong hitting team when you got Inge, Dye, and Granderson all backing you as well. Even better when you have Verlander averaging 9 SO per game. Insane.

Phillies: World champs are currently tied with the Mets for first in the division. The Phillies started out a bit slow in April but definitely have picked it back up. Though they have played some pretty easy teams to pick themselves back up with (Washington, Colorado). Raul Ibanez has been doing great this year tied up in 2nd place with two other for most home runs in the league at 13.

Cardinals: Started out great but have hit a bit of a slump. They have lost five of their last seven to drop them in the three spot in the division. Doesn't help that they were all losses to teams within the division either.

Dodgers: Godlike right now. Manny is in at the start of the season...they do amazing. Manny gets busted for roids and he's gone...but what about the Dodgers? They just keep on winning. Juan Pierre comes in for Manny's 50 game suspension and wow. This guy is killing it. Watch him...fastest bugger in the world. I hope something happens as well when Manny comes back July 3rd. I'm wanting Pierre to play just as much. He's been just downright amazing.

Sorry I went on a bit of a spill there...but it had to be done. Just love baseball. :)

Speaking of baseball...I really want to see Seattle play this year. They are going to be in Colorado June 12-14th. If you want to come with Shane and myself please let us know so we can play this all out. Thanks. :)

"Random Week Stuff #3" 5/12/09

Sigh...not my favorite week this week. But all in all it's doing ok. You know when you just get snowballed by something in life...where you just never expected it and yeah...all at once. I think back in High School/Halo days I called it being Stormtroopered. Blah, no need to get into it. But that's just kinda what happened with me.

So tomorrow I have the day off. I got my car fixed up in Ogden this last weekend...so I need to go pick up my tags. Thanks again Dennis for helping me find someone to help me out. Also I'm going to Celtic Woman with my family. Please people. Instead of asking me what it is...just check HERE. Pretty much just like a Michael Flatley kinda thing but more musical and yep, you guessed it. More woman. With more music. Eh...we'll see how it goes.

My arm hurts.

Since I don't have much to really say this week, we'll just jump to the sports world real fast. Sorry ladies.

My predictions are looking pretty on...except maybe a game or so off. Cavs swept the Hawks...LBJ is just amazing in itself. I still think that the Lakers will take down the Rockets. Denver has that series, and the Mavs can suck it. So the way we are looking is the Lakers/Nuggets and Cavs/Celtics. Just to comment on Boston, they'll take out Orlando. The Magic are a great team, but Celtics have it. Celtics have the stronger team and the more experience. If they would just zone in and not be so distracted all the time, they would have been done with this series already. Though, out of all the series that are left at the moment, the only one I could see going either way is the Boston/Orlando. So...we'll see what happens.

Baseball...my Mariners are falling. Makes me sad inside. They start playing Texas tomorrow who are currently first in the division. The Angels have also broke out of their injury slump and such, so they are barely ahead of Seattle...but blah. Whatever. Though the thing that I am enjoying watching the most at the moment is Ryan Zimmerman on the Nationals. 29 game hitting streak. Fetching sweet. :)

As for Manny, GG. Why in the world would you freaking take drugs now? Come on sucka...

"Random Week Stuff #2" 5/4/09

Thanks all of you that read the last one of these I posted. I just realized that all I really want is people to read what I write and make some small comment on it...even if it sucks. Makes me feel human. ;)

Just as a side note for Facebook, if you haven't tried out the Pirate English yet...do so. It's fetching awesome. :)

So I know this isn't an exact week since the last one I wrote, but I decided that I have more time to post these on Sunday nights instead of trying to throw it all together on a workday. So...yeah...moved to Sunday night now. And speaking of Sunday nights...I hate them. Nothing like a day where you sit around thinking about all the things you have to do on Monday. Not only that...but it's just so lame and boring. And here in Utah especially. Blah.

I finally got my room all finished today. Oh, I didn't tell you guys about that yet. Yeah, we moved all this week. We meaning Kyle and myself. See...Kyle and I lived on the middle floor of our apartment building. Since we are in college housing and all, we have four other people we live with. That's six people in one apartment. It's pretty horrible. There are four rooms in our apartment and two bathrooms. So...three people per bathroom. Yeah. Let me try to explain it a bit more. You walk into our apartment and you're in the living room. Behind the living room is the kitchen. If you go left or right of the living room there is a small hall way that leads to two of the bedrooms and one bathroom. So that's on each side. That's all that there is. Each side has the two bedrooms, one private room and one shared room. Hope you guys have the picture. Anyway, I lived in a private room. Not bad. Kyle was living in a shared...but since he's weird and retarded (he'll admit it too) he couldn't share the room with a random kid he didn't know. Probably why he didn't go on a mission. ;) Anyway, Kyle just slept on the couch forever. He wanted to get his own room but also stay in the same apartment as me. So...we had to move upstairs to do so.

Moving sucks. Even when you're just going upstairs it completely blows. You have to pack up everything just to put it back up. You find crap you wish you had lost forever...you find things that you thought you lost forever but you bought it again cause you really needed it. You break things, people steal things, you have to clean things. It just sucks. Anyway, we got that all done. Kyle has his own little room now and he's happy. GG for him. So yeah...today I just finished off my room which was fine. Nothing crazy. Got all my pictures up and everything is good. Except that now I have this kid that lives across the hall from me in the shared room who is fetching weird. He's 18, and he still acts like he's four or five. You know when you were little and people would come over, and you wanted them to like you and be a part of your life so you would run in your room and bring out all your coolest stuff to show them? Yeah...that's him. Kyle had some girls come over last night and I swear the kid brought out half his room trying to impress them. Nunchucks, masks, mini guitars, real guitars, videos, video games, food, clothes etc. etc. It was insane. Eh, enough about my place. It's really not that cool.

Sports time. So you girls can skip this. My prediction of the Bulls beating out the Celtics was wrong. Yes I know. But still. Game 7? Five of the games going into an OT? That was probably one of the most amazing series I had ever witnessed. Better than that series of Rock of Love with the chick with the huge knockers too! Wait...that's all of them...and every series. Eh. Bulls should have had that series. Makes sense that they would lose out in Game 7 though. Being in Boston and having it be a Game 7 with a young team...GG. Too many nerves and hype going on...but they did really well and I give a lot of credit to that team. I also think they would have had a good chance at beating out the Magic as well...but that's not what is going to happen. Since more than likely the Celtics will meet up with the Cavs for the Conference Finals and then the Cavs will sweep them in 4 games. And yes, that's a bold prediction, but I just see it happening. Or who knows, the Magic might pull a fast one on them. Guess we'll see.

Also last week I posted about how Boozer is like Malone and that he would leave the Jazz and stuff. Well apparently that pissed some people off...and people started sending me links to press conferences about how Boozer doesn't want to leave and he wants to stay with the team...and how he's such a better person than Malone is. Yeah...I know. Calm down people. Malone is the most retarded person I have ever read about...and when meeting him I had never met a man that was more rude than him. The only time I have ever smiled when concerning him is when I saw him running down a cobblestone alley to attack my level 60 priest in Strathome...gotta love "Mailman Malone". :) As for Boozer...yeah it does seem that he is going to stick around. That's cool I suppose. But I still think that the Jazz need to get something else for the team to give it that little kick to make them go somewhere. And I don't think that Boozer is going to do it for them. Williams is amazing...and I'm more amazed that he likes playing for Utah. Boozer will work out...but something needs to happen to bring that fire. Guess we'll see what happens next year.

On to baseball...(yes girls...I'm still going on with sports). My Mariners made an amazing come back today against the A's. I was pretty impressed. Impressed with how the Mariners were playing for sure...but more impressed on how bad of a decision the A's coach made when he left Gonzalez in for so long to make us win. Taking the game to 15 innings is one thing. But when you had the game in the 13th inning and you were up by 3...just to let us trash you to tie it up again...come on. It's a win either way...and we still hold the lead in the division. Finally to wrap up the baseball world real quick...I love how the Red Sox and the Yankees are not in first place in their division. Makes me smile so much. Actually...I love that how only 1 of the 6 divisions have a leader that went to the playoffs last year. Everyone else has a major upset and surprise. Gotta love baseball. :)

My predictions for this week (which are usually wrong I know):

-Denver will beat out Dallas ending in Game 6
-LA will beat out Houston ending in Game 5
-Boston will beat out Orlando ending in Game 6
-Cleveland will beat out Atlanta ending in Game 4
-And just to say it now...the Detroit Lions will win no more than 5 games this year...improving from 0.

Had to say it since they picked up first round pick Matt Stafford and they think he'll be changing the world. Won't happen.

Meh...I decided today that I'm going to write in this note dealio once a week. Kinda like a blog...but not really cause I don't have it officially at some random "blog-spot" place. Oh well...I figure more people will see it on here or at least run into it. Anyway...here we go. Off on my randomness and such. (By the way, this is my third attempt at doing this...I got half way through this twice and then hated it...)

So this whole Swine Flu thing...what the crap is it? Funny it seems that no one knows what is happening. I don't even know what is happening to be honest. Though, I do know that the cases that have happened in the States have only been in Cali and New York. So no...you're not going to die Kyle. Stop freaking out. Though I did find this comic to be pretty funny concerning the flu. :) COMIC

Another thing that entertains me this week is also dealing with people and them freaking out about everything. For those of you that don't know where I work, I work for a company called Invisus. We deal with computer security and being a personal tech for you and your computer. This means that I deal with a lot of viruses and other stuff. It's not bad, but there are times that it gets out of hand. For example...when April Fools came around and the world thought that it was going to be another Y2K. Seriously people? You really think that if some hacker threatened the world that all the computers were going to explode, you would listen to him? You're retarded. Keep your Window's up to date...keep some good virus protection on your computer, and stop looking at porn. Do that, you win.

In the sports world the NBA Playoffs are happening and the MLB season has been going to for about 4 weeks now. It's been nice and fun for me to keep up on it all. But really people...did you think that the Jazz would hold up a chance at all against the Lakers? Yeah...not so much. I'm going to call out just a few things that I think will happen in the playoffs. If I'm wrong...whatever...but these are my predictions.

-Bulls will beat out the Celtics. It's meant to be.
-Lakers and Cavs will make it to the finals, and the Cavs will win in 6 games.
-Since the Jazz lost out, Boozer will now officially leave for good. If they would have won the whole thing, he would have stayed. He's just like Malone...so don't be sad.

As for the MLB, this is where I am paying more attention to as of late. Since I'm a nerd and like doing things with the baseball...I joined up with with 3 different fantasy leagues. So...I have 3 teams. It's been fun to watch and see what's going on for sure. And my hate for the Red Sox has grown stronger and stronger. Good news is though, the Mariners are holding out in first place in the division. So that makes me feel pretty good inside since they have been my team for years. If you guys want to know one rookie to watch this year, check out Dexter Fowler from the Rockies. Monday he had 5 stolen bases in one game. The kid's a rocket...and he's been conditioned to be an amazing athlete. :)

I don't have much else to write about...so I'm going to give out my random awards of the week. :)

I lost my patience trying to find things at work and having everyone call me about their computer problems. Go figure that I've had more calls so far today from people I know about computer issues than I have from actually customers. So retarded.

Start...

Hey just to give a heads up on what's going to happen here. I started writing all these "Random Week Stuff" on Facebook...and I got enough people wanting me to go to a blogspot that I decided to come here. Hopefully it works out, and people will keep coming here so they can read my stuff. That would be cool. Anyway, I'm going to transfer all the "Random Week Stuff" into here so I have record of them at least...so the next eight posts or so after this will be just stuff from then. After I get all that in, I'll start working on a new post. Cool? Cool. By the way, this is my attempt at an ego/confidence boost to make me be more open and try to write more. So, I believe I can leave this open so anyone can read and post stuff...so tell your friends to read up on me or whatever as well. As for posting, I'm not sure if I am going to let just anyone read, but I'll figure out here in a bit and let you know. Thanks. Loves. :)
