Viva Vida

So it has been a long time coming and I apologize. I am awful at this thing. But there is a lot to catch you up on so lets stop with the apologies and excuses and get right to it.

Spring in Utah has had its ups and its downs. Lets start with the downers:
The weather has be quite peculiar. It has been cold and rainy for most of it with the rare sunny occasions. This leaves my impeccable latin tan looking not so golden and shimmery.
School is tough. With only 6 weeks to accomplish everything that an entire 3 1/2 months semester gets done, it leaves me pressed for time and motivation. This curriculum does not go well with my habitual procrastination.
Indiana Jones was fun but at the same time disappointing. Those who know me know i was soo looking forward to this film. I will say i did get lost and jaded by the mere fact that Dr. Jones was on the big screen. (I know Im such a nerd).

Thats enough complaining, now lets get to some of the great things that have happened while here in Spring:
You meet all kinds of great new people! Just the other day I met a man that once traveled the world with a set of plastic utensils a box of strike anywhere matches, a passport, and a sock puppet named Milo. Amazing hu? Ok that isn't true but you can imagine. No It really fun to see who you get to know up here, there is less distractions and competing noise.
You can be more carefree bc there is less of a hullabaloo going about the town of Provo, since we all know its a BoomTown. As much of a city boy as I am, I do love to just relax and take it all in, observe and not worry about a thing. My mom probably would say thats been my attitude my entire life.

You get to take spontaneous trips and not have to worry about the consequences of going. My good friend Jer and I were invited by two splendid ladies, Amanda and Jenn, to accompany them to St. George. Now you know me...Im not gonna pass an opportunity to get out of town and enjoy the sun and relaxation, no matter what I have going on. Ha its probably not a good thing, but what can I say, I love to have fun!!! I have never really stayed in St. George and was surprised how developed it is. It is a nice little getaway town and I know that Jer and I had a blast. Thanks girls for the invite. Next time lets get some good directions though.


***Side story*** So Amanda gave me directions to the place where we were staying. It would be a complete understatement to say that they were bad directions. They were horrible!!!! Ha ha ha Just teasing, they were just plain bad :) We were going to meet the girls who were coming up from Vegas. Jer and I got into St. George around 2:15am Amanda did not konw the password to get into the gated community and either did we. We went around to three other gated communities and I tried like 5000 combinations. I was praying an alarm would go off and the cops would come and we could explain everything.
So Jer and I finally fan-dangle our way into a community down the street. By this time its about 245 AM. We begin to hop fences and got into the gated community where we are staying. Here is where the story gets good. So it is pitch black and you can barely see your own hand in front of your face. I guess St. George is trying to conserve energy and completely eliminate street lights. But we are looking around in the dark for 2 hours trying to find this house that Amanda is describing to me over the phone. Time:345 AM. There is no hope, we have followed the direction to a T and still haven't found the house. Once again, I am going up to almost every garage and typing in the key code that was given to me. We really looked shady, I am shocked the cops weren't called. Probably bc no one ever saw us bc there were no STREET LIGHTS!!! Also we were like ninjas, popping in and out of the shadows. Finally we go further down the street we were suppose to be on and we tried on more house, IT WORKED!!!! Time: 445 AM. It was frustrating at the time, but right after it became hilarious.

There are amazing Concerts going on. So for my birthday, yes thats right half of you missed it and I am really considering how deep our friendship is, I got two 3rd row tickets to see Kanye West. Those who know me or pretend to know me, know (how many times can I use Know in a sentence? I wont try) that I LOVE hip-hop/rap. Its a culutre I would love to be more submerged in. But Along with Kanye West there was Lupe, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna. You guys Im not joking when I say it was the best concert I have ever been to. I could smell the Patron on Kanyes breath, thats how close we were. All of them put on such a great show, it really was a production!!! Huge stage sets and loud hard hitting bass that you could feel in your throat. My ears were ringing the morning after. Rihanna was kinda disappointing, never really finishing all of her songs and playing a mere 20 min set. But Kanye made up for it by playing an hour and twenty min. set with a ten min sermon at the end. I didnt know reverend West was making a debut in SLC. But it is Utah. Thanks Amanda for an incredible night, glad we got you to bust out some moves too!!!


I get to take trips home whenever I feel like it!!!
The new iPhone comes out!!! Only $199 everyone needs to get it.
Great movies will continue to entrain the dickens out of me.
Coldplays New Cd comes out!!!
Im going to San Fran for a business trip, but it will be a nice vacca too.

Well these are a few of the exciting things happening in my life right now. I know I am a total dork, goofy kid but thats what makes my life so fun. Nothing too earth shattering, but still super fun, and thats how i function. Ill try and do a lot better at updating, but there are no promises.
