Off the Record, Vol. 2

(January 9, 2006)


So I've found a new love: Scrubs. This show is great. Whoever decided to put TV shows on DVD was a genious (I hate commercials). Nice to have found a show that reflects my humor.

Speaking of humor, have you read that book The Color Code? I just finished it a few days ago, and highly recommend it. It's funny how much I learned about my character- I'm an even split between Blue and Yellow, apparently. I've always wondered what it is that shapes my odd character, and the book explained every detail of it to me. You wanna learn a bit about yourself, take a few days and read it.

The semester is over now, and its been sweet. I have an internship in Provo this summer with Northwestern Mutual thatll help me understand my field a lot more. My random dance class was surprisingly cool, too. Many of the women in my class told me 'Im one of the better guys in the class to dance with... I'll take that compliment. [high five!] I may not be black, but at least I have some kind of rhythm. Not too bad for a whitey.

So how many of you kids above 20 want to take a trip down memory lane? Go to YouTube.com and watch Intros for your long-lost cartoon friends. Do you still remember the theme song for Gummy Bears? My Pet Monster? That Cops Cartoon? Pirates of Dark Waters? Tiny Toons? $5 says no more than ten of you remember Marshall Bravestar. I watched some old-school commercials for the Teddy Ruxpin doll, and got all nostalgic.

The past two weeks have been very hot up here in Provo, and then suddenly last Tuesday we had a freezing snow storm. I swear, the weather could be such a girl sometimes. Just make up your mind already.

This past Friday marked my 1-year anniversary since my 24-hour road trip to Phoenix for a U2 Concert. Got back to Provo dead tired the next morning, and took out a 96% on a final. Thanks for the help, Bono.

I found out this week that my high school/ jr. high mentor, Adair Satterfield, passed away. I was surprised to hear that; I guess that news always is a surprise. I last spoke with him a month after I returned from Santiago, back in 2004, when I needed some academic records from high school, and it felt so good having a normal conversation with him about life and how everything had been for us. He taught every single person who knew him to be happy with whatever they did as a career. You know that line from Hamlet, Above all, to thine own self be true? He defined that. I'm a better man for knowing him.

And finally, for you Californians and any outsiders who love In-N-Out, look up the following link. This should not allow anyone's gut to feel good.
