August - Now 2010


jeez I have become super lazy at this
The last three and a half months have been very interesting to say the least
I'll just put up some topics and see what there is to say about them

WORK
-Worked for the Orem Owlz doing my awesome summer job of scooping ice cream until they lost in the first round of the Pioneer League Playoffs in Mid Setpemeber
- Looked for job for almost two months applying for something almost every day ranging from warehouse work to seasonal restaurant jobs.
- Then on October 25, a charter school in Provo named Freedom Academy called me up and offered me a custodial job I had applied and interviewed for in September. Since then I have been working during the week vacuuming all the classrooms in the building as well as several offices.

MUSIC and MOVIES
- Been putting up songs on my Facebook for over two months as a "Song of the Day" type feature and have enjoyed comments from at least one person about them.
- In September, the long awaited third album was released by Chromeo, one of my favorite groups to come out in the last 10 years. Their album Business Casual is very awesome and defines my year in a lot of ways making it a heavy favorite when I pick my favorite album next month.
- Another album that is getting good word of mouth and I enjoy is The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monae- The movies I've seen worth mentioning include Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Cemetery Junction , The Town, and Due Date.
- The pieces of crap movies I definitely don't recommend include Takers, Knight and Day, Grown Ups, and Salt
- Been busy watching The Simpsons Seasons 1-5, a very funny British show named Peep Show, and of course the latest seasons of some favorite shows.

PERSONAL LIFE
- In August I went on a vacation with my parents down to Southern California. While down there I stayed several days with my cousins who live in Hemet, CA just hanging out, eating out at yummy places, and watching movies. I then went down to Anaheim for a three day park hopping experience at Disneyland and California Adventure with my parents, my sister, and her daughter. I also spent a day going to Huntington Beach which was a lovely experience.
- Didn't really meet any new women in August. Then in early September I met a girl from Saratoga Springs, UT through a friend. I had a good time hanging out and sort of dating her for a few weeks and it certainly was the happiest time I've had all year. Then it all collapsed in a big horrible weekend over a hundred miles away from home when I went on a small trip with her and a few cousins of hers to Salina, UT which I refer to "East Jesus Nowhere". It's a long story but I'll just say it was a long weekend of confusion, sadness, and getting treated like total crap.The girl did apologize later about the whole thing but things were definitely not the same after it. Since then I've met and gone out with a couple girls I met online and it's a been pretty fun but not sure if anything with them will become serious.
- I've been very slowly losing weight making a total of 10 pounds in the last few months.
- I dressed up as Dexter Morgan for Halloween this year which was a lot of fun.
