MEMOIRS OF A SCOOTER

So i was thinking today how much i love my scooter, and how deaply sadden and down trodden i will be the day it really dies on me, we have been great friends.

So in an early rememberance of our dear friend THOR i have decided to commemorate the fond memories we have created in the sunny skies of dixie to the mountainous terrain of the county of weber.

The year was 2005, what a great year, the year of the wood rooster. It was summer time, and I was enjoying the great weather and the cloudless skies. A few days prior to this event i had got a new Cd from my friends in Salt Lake, All-time Quarterback (a band made from members of Death Cab For Cutie), and i loved the music so i got my cd discman (a precursor to the ipod for those not of that era)...(ps it was only 3 1/2 years ago i was just retarded and didn't have an ipod yet, darn me) and i put in my cd and i drove to work and well the best thing happened, work told me to go across town to drop off a money dilly, i never really got caught up in what i was doing for them, i just knew dont loose it and go straight to the bank... done deal. So as i left and everyone was laughing at me at work due to my stature on the little THOR beast as i jumped it off the curb, sorry dad yes i jumped it... alot... and flew off in the distance at an incredible 28 miles an hour, on a 40 MPH road... well i was rockin the beats and loving it, stareing up at the blue sky, the black and red rocks, the honking cars and i came across the red hill and made my descent on to st. george blvd i crossed the road listening to the sweet harmonies and got to the teller and saw an old friend, we chit chatted and i sped off and got to the new road that goes up the red hill by la policia and i was like "wow this cd rocks, but it has like the same beat for every song... in fact i think there is only a couple of songs on the cd... no there are like 10..." so i took out the old discman and checked it out... upon my gathering i noticed i had hit the repeat button.... so this entire ride i rode listening for well over 30 minutes to the same song and never realized it.

two things to be learned...

1- i am a retard on a scooter, i had no idea i was singing the same song while i was driving a motorized vehicle and probably cut cars off while i sang

2- i love my scooter and sunny weather that much that nothing mattered to me on that ride other than heat, sun, blue, and song

I HEART THOR.

SNOW BOCCE


Bocce Snow king of the day... king of the day is when you get your bocce ball touching the cue ball, quite a event, especially in snow. hooray for Tim

Stevie showing off her skills... Skinny pants + golloshes = frozen body
but she was a champ and stuck it out

The wide world of sports just got wider, so i might be in love with the sport of Bocce, its an event that takes place everytime we go to st. george, well some of our comrades have ventured up yonder to our frozen tundra and now we started the Northern Utah Bocce Association, its great and i must admit i couldn't be happier with our results thus far, we have a tournement in a couple of days in logan. Snow or not its going to be grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

GEEKS ON ICE


So this is what happened.
weber state has gotten glazed over with snow and ice.
well i have been saying that people drive stupid on the snow, and i sorta became cocky i guess and i would walk much faster than i should because i don't slip. well one day i had just gone to the bookstore to see how much my books were and to also see if people we looking for the books i had last semester so i could sell them cheaper then they would buy and i started to walk to my car which is on the top parking lot. and well i was ya know listening to my ipod and walking right in the middle of the campus where weber's bell tower is. well that day i had my dress pants on and some church shoes that are not to much for traction. well before i knew it my right foot slips out and being from st. george (not known for its ice or snow or cold and the ability to walk on them) i try to put on foot down as soon as possible or get my left foot under me, well i pretty much put all my weight on my left to get control and the next thing i knew was my left and right leg are getting above my head and i hit before i knew what happened and i was just like "what just happened?" and i get up look around and no one is there cause i was super embarrased and i got up and realized that i would have paid money to see what happened. needles to say i walk like a grandma everywhere i go, shuffle steps and everything, i totally look like a geek but there is no way i will do that again.
i hate ice

HARRY POTTER

So recently stevie might say i have had an obession... well thats what she would say
The last week of school a girl in my math class had all the books on her itunes and
so naturally i downloaded them all onto my ipod with the exception of the 7th because
it wasn't on. So it was like a dream cause everywhere i could go i could listen to harry
potter... however i think this was worse then listening to music my first winter at bus
stops and would dance because now i would be walking and i would here something
that i liked or was funny and i would bust up laughing or smile and i would have to cover
it up cause people would totally stare... i have a problem with entering another world
when i have my ipod on and harry potter which made it worse. but the last book i read
and holy crap it is so good again, i just finished it a couple of days ago. this really is such a good series on so many levels for
myself.
1. it got me to read a book
2. it was very unique
3. stevie liked it with me so we could watch them or read them together

this time around was good because i never read the first book i only "had to listen to it"
with my parent on the way to our cabin my sophmore year and i had to do a book report and i never read a book and i figure hey i listened to most of it so i read the last chapters and it
hooked me and i became a harry potter geek from then on.

MMMM CHINESE FOOD

Lately i have been craving chinese food, you would think i am prego or something.
It started when we went to PF Changs with friends of ours and then a buffett that
was awesome! I could have stayed there all night but stevie doesn't have the eating
ability that i possess, its a talent i would say... but then we went to another restaurant
where my friend works and she hooked us up. This would be a dream right now to have
all this food right now

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

This year was fun for us because we are poor. so what we did to have a fun christmas was try to decorate out little house. We also set a spending limit of 25 dollars for our presents, it actually made it fun because we really had to look hard for something good. we were terrible though and did our christmas shopping like 2 days before but it was way fun.

We spent christmas eve and day with stevie's family which was pretty fun.
