Captain Obvious!

Everyone has that one person they know who always states the obvious, after which they try making a recovery and fail miserably. Today was my day as Captin' Obvious.

#1 Costco Customer: "I see you here a lot!"

Me: "I work a lot, so I am here a lot."

Costco Customer: "Thats understandable"

Me: "But I don't think thats a bad thing"

In my head: "That did not connect with what you were talking about"

Costco Customer: "ummm ya, well I will see you again because you work a lot."

In my head: "Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeee take your corn dog so I can stop talking to you"

Good Job me!

James started it, I finished it.

A couple years back, JR lost the trailer off the Jeep. He slightly bent the tow hitch, not to bad, it still worked. Fast forward a few years- I was told to drive the trailer (something I have never done) to the dump, and then to the plant place to get some dirt. It all went well, we filled the truck bed with dirt and off we went. Then while exiting the dirt store, we hit the gutter with the trailer stand. We noticed a bump, but didn't think much of it. Once home it was obvious what the bump was.

The Amazing meal!

I have learned the hard way, I can't drink whey protein drinks (but I can eat it if its been cooked in something like cookies) So I decided to try other types of protein drinks. This one is called the Amazing meal. Its made out of veggies, no flavorings, is vegan, no sugar added, and its also all natural. The Verdict? Terrible. It gave me energy, but the flavor was like throw up stomach acid in the mouth, with sand. But its a nice green color.

Patrick's not a fan of BYU.

So I applied to BYU, and well got rejected. I took it like a man, and was fine. Patrick on the other hand was not. But I convinced him he was better than that, and he would not want to spend his days parked in a sea of white late model Civics and Corolas. He was fine after that.

Anyways I had to write an essay, and I spent a lot of time on it (and Kristie spent a lot of time fixing it.) So I might as well put it up so people can read it- I had to write on something I was passionate about..............

I am passionate about my car.

When it was introduced in 2001, it was groundbreaking. I spent the next four years of my life researching it from bumper to bumper. When the time came for me to get a car of my own, I made the obvious choice and purchased a Patriot Blue PT Cruiser.

My friends were concerned.

“Your car is SO slow!”

“My PT goes 0-60 MPH in 8.3 seconds; your Corolla takes 10 seconds to do the same. It may not be fast- but I can outrun you any day.”

“PT Cruisers are for old people.”

“If you look at my PT’s Facebook page you will notice the average age of his fans is 30. Does your car have a Facebook page?”

“But it’s ugly.”

“My car was awarded the Design of the year in 2001, and sold over 1,000,000 copies by 2006. That’s not something an ugly car can do.”

Friends and family know when they see the PT Cruiser; good times are just around the corner. So if you ever get the chance to be a passenger in my car, hop in and buckle up- it’s going to be an adventure.

Weird youtube videos.

If you have ever gone on Youtube, you have probably come across odd videos- with the people who post them equaly as odd. Take this person, they have about 180 videos of ceiling fans. What's even more weird is that people watch and comment on the videos of the ceiling fans- and request videos of other fans. Who knew fans could bring such joy.

Life is good book.

This is a awesome book. Its small, only 100 pages, and about 5 inches squared. All the pages have big easy to read sentences- just about anyone can read them. So what makes it so awesome? It can solve any situation that is thrown your way, with a short quote and a simple picture.

A few of the best-

Everything is a once in a lifetime experience.

Don't fight mother nature.
Do what you like, like what you do.

Blur the line between work and play.
Sometime nothing is the best thing to do.
The pursuit is the reward.

I would like to hit people with the book when they are making a big deal out of something minor. It should be required reading for all.

11,000 pictures and counting.

I have hit 11000 pictures in my iphoto library! Okay I am sure Lisa, kristen, and Mack have 50,000, but I don't have kids to take pictures of (well I have a lot of pictures of the Larson kids) So 11,000 pictures for me is a lot. And looking through them is very funny, I took some- other people took some- I am not sure where a few came from- but they are all very cool. I think a slide show is in order......
