RBADDK (Bringing RB back)

Okay fine. I'll stop being all boring and depressing.

-Dear Riverton Cop,

You are a Douche. Just a quick rule of thumb, if you ask someone a question you should let them answer you. And why do you think you are so cool? Telling me you could cite me for this infraction and that infraction is super hard core. And by that I mean isn't at all hard core. And then you just let me off without even a warning? I don't get you.

-Where the F does "rule of thumb" come from? Someone Cha Cha it.

-I still freaking love John Mayer. He is my eternal Man-Crush. (If any of you start using "Bro-Mance" I will track you down and punch you square in the face)

-Dear Ex-Facebook Friend,

I know you are upset I deleted you as a friend, but do you blame me? Every time I signed on you attacked me via Facebook Chat. Just because I accepted your friend request a year ago on Facebook doesn't mean we are real life friends. We don't kick it on the weekends. We don't go grab lunch to catch up. I didn't just break up with you, I deleted you because I you make me want to stick rusty nails through my eye lids.

-I want to run my Neon off a cliff.


-I do not pride myself as much of a video game player, but I super rock at all three Super Mario Brothers on the original Nintendo. And I am embarrassingly good at Guitar Hero. I'm no John Nielson. But I am better than I should be.



-There was this one time that I was really surprised when a girl I was on a date with didn't want to cuddle with me. Man, I am a douche. Me and that cop should go kick it.

-I now play bass in an 80's band called 88MPH. Anyone who can guess where that name comes from is crazycool (one word). Come see us play sometime... And by sometime I mean when we have a gig. And by that I mean if you want to book a rockin' 80's band for something let me know.



-I think I have the smallest bladder ever.

-Dear Cleaning Girl at Bryan's House

Don't ask my opinion on college football if you are a dumb ass. If you want to have a real discussion about it, I'm game. But don't ask for my opinion then respond with "blah, blah, Utes, blah, blah, number 1, blah, blah." (I use quotes cause that's exactly what my ears heard). At least have an educated argument. You lost your right to speak. Now, go finish cleaning Bryan's bathroom.


Grammar Portion Returns:

To? Too? Two?

If you use "too" correctly, the other ones should fall into place.

Too is used when meaning "excessively" or "also."

I ate too much. I want to go to the store too!

I sometimes suck at this, but it's really not all that hard. If you don't know how to use the number two correctly you need to go back to resource.

Thought of the Day #2

When did integrity lose it's appeal?

Thought of the Day #1

It's a lot easier to move on from someone when you have someone else to focus your attention on.
(it also helps if the one you are trying to get over isn't freaking gorgeous)

Falling Out of Love

Dating is stupid. I wrote this super awesome depressing song the other day. Although it doesn't express my overall view on life and love, it expresses how I feel sometimes about it. I think we all lose hope that Love exists from time to time. Maybe I'll get around to recording it sometime soon.

And Jarell, I am sorry that you are going to hate this post. (It's a total downer and not funny whatsoever, so don't feel obligated to read it)

Fallin back now
Fallin ‘way from
Fallin out of love

Sparks have faded into darkness
Dreams have slowly disappeared
Waiting for someone can do this
Waiting only brings you tears.

A Jaded Heart can never love you
A broken soul can only pray
Don’t believe the “what could be” you fool,
What’s buried deep is there to stay

No, don’t let nobody find you
Seems true love cannot be found
If you let somebody near you
What’s left of you is thrown around

Fallin back now
Fallin ‘way from
Fallin out of love

RBADDK (Christmas Time is Here)

Happiness and cheer. Fun for all that children call their favorite time of year. Right? Wrong. I used to love Christmas. My extended family on both sides had super neat traditions, I looked forward to seeing my cousins and such and seeing what Grandma Copier would get me cause it was always super... unique (and probably from a garage sale) and, well, I love me some Christmas Candy. BUT now Christmas makes me sad. I sit around wishing it was what it once was. But everyone grew up and is boring. My brother and sister have other families to visit and spend time with, so I get to spend all day with the Parentals. Don't get me wrong, that's not the worst thing in the world, but i miss the old Christmas.

Okay onto the RBBADDK part...

-I am excited to give people the presents I got them. I wish I was rich then I could give people lots of things... (and let's be honest, I could buy myself what I want)

-Dear Julie, I love you. I do. But no one would read my blog if I didn't express my negative opinions. I am sorry, but I don't have that cute little wife and child to write about like the rest of the blogs you read, thus the awesome negative opinions. And they are awesome.

-I swear everywhere I am trying to go is where Udot is working on a road. They are really good at starting projects aren't they?

-I started watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and I dig. Neil Patrick Harris is pretty brilliant. Those groupies for Captain Hammer made me chuckle. "We'd do the weird stuff"



-Dear Nate (yeah that's me), stop picking girls who don't treat you right. I know you see potential in them, but potential can only get you so far. You are good at reading people's non-verbals. Trust yourself.

-I just got cast in Phantom at Hale. No, not Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, but Phantom by Maury Yeston. Same book, but different adaptations. I will be playing Phillipe, the love interest (Ironic, I know). That's the Raul Character in this version. Yay. Come see me. It opens the end of February.



-Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties are neat, see:



-Please go watch this. HIL-Larious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBHOL1PcPR8

-I started a blog originally as an emotional release, as a way for me to figure out what the hell was going through my head, but now I am nervous to post that stuff on here. That is dumb. I think I am going to have find some other sort of journal. Lame

RBADDK (Politics Suck)

Wanna know my take on the election? America likes change and things were pretty bad the last few years. This Presidential race was decided over a year ago: it was going to be a Democrat. I just thank the Lord it's not Hillary. Oh yeah, and Politics suck.



-Here's a news flash for you, being liberal does not equal being open minded. Just because you are pro choice and support gay rights doesn't mean you are open minded. You may think it does, but it does not. Not accepting others because they have a different opinion than you is actually just the opposite. You preach human rights and letting people make decisions for themselves, yet you get all butt hurt if they don't believe what you believe. The worse part is you don't even want to listen to an explanation on why they feel the way they do. You are just so sure that they are wrong. (Please note that I am not trying to claim that anyone who is liberal is this way- It's just a mindset that I have seen recently)

-On that note, there are two sides to everything people. PLEASE look into that before you bash the other side. (this goes for both you liberals and conservatives)

-Please don't ever see the Haunting of Molly Hartley. It is a really, really bad movie. If you tell me you enjoyed it, I will stab you in the Jaw. Bad. Just Bad.

-I freaking love TiVo. Except when it doesn't record when it's supposed to. That I don't like.

-Updating your status on Facebook to say "Richard is sick of being sick." Or "Melanie is tired of being tired" or "Jamie is sick and tired of being sick and tired" is not nearly as cleaver as you think it is.

-Speaking of Facebook stati, I am pretty sure it's already time to stop talking about Prop 8 via facebook status. We all know you and your ward are happy about it passing or that you think mormons are bigots. You've said it in a different way every day for the last week.

-Singing Christmas songs in Late October/Early November brings back a lot memories. It also makes me want to kick myself in the junk. I don't know how that would work exactly- but in the middle of singing Happy Holidays for the 9th time in a row I think it would be less painful.

-I've said it once and I'll say it again: I hate Verizon. Remember that time I was in the middle of a conversation and the network went down? I thought it was just my house so I drove a mile away hoping to get service and all I got was that stupid Searching for Service logo. I wouldn't have been as upset had I not been in the middle of a conversation with someone who is ridiculously hard to get a hold of. Real cool Verzion.

And why do you have to have such an attitude? You were once rated the best service so you jack up your price, lock your bluetooth, shut down the option for Mxyertones to work and restrict me from sending text messages over 160 characters to anyone who doesn't have your awesome service? Awesome.

-Doing new things is neat. I highly recommend it. Unless you are considering listening to the Jonas Brothers- Trust me, it's not worth it. I cannot handle their breathy, whiney voices. Some of their songs do not suck, but they do.

-Cope out

Halloween is neat.

I haven't had the chance or desire to dress up for the last few halloweens since I was this every weekend in October:


But this year I decided I wanted to actually go and do something. I went up to Ogden for a Party with a bunch of Weber Staters. I still didn't want to spend much time on my Costume though, so I recycled an old idea and made it a touch better.

This was me in 2000 as a 17 year old (thanks Jill)



And this is me in 2008




Yes, that is my actual Cub Scout shirt. Yes, I was a lot skinnier in High School.

I added the nice kerchief and slider this year. I did have on some Khaki Shorts and Hiking Socks as well. (Just for all you poeple paying attention, I did actually make it to Bear, just never got around to sewing that one on. But that is when my scouting career stopped. No Weblos. No Arrow of Light. No Tenderfoot. Obviously no Eagle as well.... )

Halloween wasn't too bad this year. The party was pretty crazy and I was only one of a few sober people around, but I still had a good time. Maybe next year I'll actually be able to celebrate the whole day...
