Tastes Like Happy

Let me just start off by saying how excited I am for this Christmas season! Its probably the most excited I have been in quite a few years. I think I will head up into the mountains and cut down a Christmas Tree next week sometime since I only work two days. Yay for cheap gas enabling me to go on adventures a little further away from home! I'm sure there will be more on that next week.

So this week was a little weird but it was still definitely quite enjoyable. I had a strange work schedule due to Thanksgiving and all of its festivities, I didn't get nearly enough miles of running in and I only slept one hour before going to work on Black Friday. It was good to get some hours in at best buy and I really hope I continue to get a decent amount of work because I really like that job. Black Friday wasn't too bad and beside a few rude jerks I actually had fun and felt good about my performance. My department (Digital Imaging) had the highest percentage of services sold in the store so that feels good too.

I'm just really excited for the future right now. I'm not really sure even what next week will bring but I am ready, waiting, and stoked. I could use a little snow in the mountains though......

Sunday's a Fun Day

Basically yesterday was an awesome Sunday for me. These past couple of weeks I haven't had consistent wards or amounts of church due to the lack of intelligence of Best Buy. It took them three weeks to process that the only day I am not available is Sunday and that is the day I was working every single week. So anyway no more working on Sundays! Yesterday was one of those Sundays that really does a lot for your testimony and revitalizes all the goals and plans you make to strive to be better, kind of like a mini general conference. So between that, getting some more hours at work, being blessed with an awesome family, the holiday season coming so soon, and some improvements in my running I am really happy! There are still a few things that could make me a little happier but Ill just keep working on them. For now at least I am content and excited for the future! I wanted to write a little more but I have to run to work now since Im getting more hours!
If you would like to know more I would love to chat sometime.
Peace

Lost in a Silent Ballet

Distance will never smother my love for you, our memories span the miles in my mind and in seconds we are together. But whenever I start feeling sad cuz I miss you I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss...

Getting old is enough to kill a man

I am officially getting old. I've seen the signs coming for the past year or two now. I stay sore a little longer, my joints start to ache a little, and I can often feel deaths cold hand creeping over me. Well the last one might have been an exaggeration but today I really do feel old. I threw my back out for the first time and let my tell you that I feel bad for thinking adults were just being wimps when 'their backs hurt'. The lack of sympathy is no more, I can now completely empathize.

I have been pretty rough on my body these past couple of weeks but come on I'm only twenty years old. I guess I better start going to bed at like seven o'clock like an old person. While I'm at it I might as well just shrivel up and die already. If you can't tell, this is really a traumatic event for me. One moment I felt young and spry as I attempted to frolic across the street in front of my house to go retrieve my disc and the next I was doubled over on the ground wondering what the poop happened. It took me a couple of seconds to realize what happened because I never thought I would throw out my back at this age.

Well whats done is done and I guess there isn't much to do except accept the facts of life. Next time I think about taking a nice frolic across the street I might have to think twice:) I wonder what will happen when hit up the ski slopes if I can't even make it across the road.....

BTW I got a new Coldplay album today, ''Prospekt's March", and am in love for the moment.

If Im as bad as you, what good are we to eachother?

So Im really addicted to the song the song, ''Tomorrow's Ending" by Tickle Me Pink right now. Its kind of weird because its not really the type of music Im into that much right now but yeah I love it.(I quickly made that video so I could hyperlink it to my blog)
Anyway, Im basically just enjoying having free time this week since next week I work a substantially heavier amount of hours. The free time is nice but I will not mind the extra cash and the feeling of being a little more productive.
So it would not be my typical blog if I did not have a rant. Im tired of people always looking for something else without ever paying attention to what is right in front of them. What makes people do this? How do I get noticed? Its just kind of frustrating. There is one caveat though, am I doing the same thing? Who or what am I missing out on or passing by? Thats kind of whats been on my mind lately.

Quantum of Solace

Yay for midnight showings of movies! The one thing about midnight showings is that people never want to go alone. This means that people will actually come and play with me when I invite them for once! Anyway I am excited for the movie and the good times.
Oh and before I forget, it is stunningly beautiful outside today. It definitely doesn't feel like November. This is good and bad because I am not ready for complete cold but I am ready to shred it up this ski season. Since I am not currently enrolled in classes I plan on skiing any day possible. Also the next time I work I am going to buy a new camera so everything should be well documented.
Just a quick update for today :)

Typical

So its been a very rough week so far but I did get to go to a fun concert last night. Hawthorne Heights, Emery, and Tickle Me Pink came to Boise yesterday. I listened to Hawthorne Heights in high school but once I got into college that really wasn't my 'scene' anymore. The other bands I never listened to before so I wasn't expecting much.
Okay okay back to the beginning. I never thought I would be going because I am cheap and haven't listened to any of the bands in a long time, if ever. I was just going about my business as normal when my buddy, Rose-who i met at USU- sent me a text and told me she got free tickets to the show. I could never pass up something free even if i didn't have any interest in it. So I cleared my schedule which wasn't much because I don't really have any friends anymore.
I drove down to Rose's house and we carpooled to the show( arriving fashionably late). First up was Tickle Me Pink had some really catch songs like the one called Typical, which i liked due to my current relationship status. They also were just plain entertaining. I would have enjoyed them even if I hated their music.
Next came Emery. Not really much to say besides it was just fun to be at a live show. Ive never really been a fan of their music and at this point I was just excited to see Hawthorne.
So finally Hawthorne Heights came out. The first song was off their new album and i hadnt ever listened to it before wasnt too great but it was kinda just like a warm up. The rest of their set was very good. They played many of the songs that I like off their older albums and even did a sweet little accoustic set. It was a good time and it felt good to finally get out and do something for a change.
These past couple weeks/months have been a roller coaster of emotion for me and I have let it get to me too much. Im making it a goal to live and enjoy my life and not let my stupid baggage bring me down anymore. The time is now!

Consummatum Est!!

Finally the day has come and in a few hours all of this election noise will be over. Eighteen months of pain and we are finally at the end or at least we will have a break. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy politics and the discussions that result. Just these passed two weeks have been miserable. All everyone talks about are candidates, each trying to sway those around them. For the first time in my life it has made me sick to even think about anything related to politics. This is probably all due to the fact that this is the first chance I have had to vote in a major elections so I should probably just put my big boy pants on and accept that I am growing up. Anyway I am just glad to have a little break where I can take a breath and recuperate from all the the political ads and hidden agendas of the media.
Oh November, whatever shall i do with thee. I really need to find some more things or people to take up my time. It is a little harder for me to go play disc golf everyday so I often find myself just trying to find things to do to waste away my day. If darn Best Buy would just give me some more hours I would be so happy. I love going to work, playing with cameras and helping people get something that will fit their needs. It is very satisfying. In the coming weeks I expect that my hours will pick up due to the Christmas season. Enough with that, on to my next rant.
I having really been missing my friends that are on missions right now, specifically Spenser and Alecs. Its just killing me not to be hanging out with them right now. It would probably help if I wrote them more but for some reason I just cant get into the habit of it.
Im so bored.....
I just want to have a conversation of substance with someone of my same age. If you're up to it give me a holler!
Peace

Ad Astra Per Aspera

Listening to:
Song im addicted to!
Death Cab for Cutie- Plans
Zero 7- The Garden
(John Mayer-Continuum jumped in for the last two-thirds because i took a break)

It rained today and threatens to do so againwith ominous gray overcast skies.

I didn't go to the disc golf tourney because of the poor weather.Its alright though because i was scared to get destroyed especially with the added weather elements. I wouldn't stand a chance.

Its is a beautifully gloomy fall day perfectly ripe for a nice cozy cuddle. That's probably the thing i miss most about having a girl. Depressing.

I love hats, shoes, and discs. When i see them i just want to buy them and go out, play and be momentarily happy.

I really want to get a puppy but in my current situation my parents wouldn't be too happy about that since we already have one pampered pooch.

I wish i could get some more hours at work to quell my restlessness but i guess i should be grateful just to have a decent job in this market. It is pretty chill that i just get to mess around with cameras all day though.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart waking up is the hardest part.
