I'm living back at home for the summer. Trying to rummage around town and get a job. I've been mostly chilling out with the family and friends occasionally. I'm headed back to EAC next semester. I'm tired and don't want to post much. BUTTTTTT..... ( )( ) <--- Looks like a butt? I'm going to try to get consistant with this whole posting stuff....again. Hopefully I'll last longer than 9 days like last time. Wish me luck!

Post Valentine's Day Rundown
Just a couple awesome quotes I heard in English.
"When love is not madness, it is not love." Pedro Calderon de la Barca
"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." Plato
And my favorite, "Without love what are we worth?.....89 cents." Hawkeye (M.A.S.H.)
When I began my day yesterday (Valentine's Day), I woke up with slightly smaller expectations for the day. It started with my English class, which I love because our professor gives us lots of opportunities to write and lately, I LOVE to write. He gave us the nasty heart shaped chalk candies that you would kill anyone for when you were 5, but now at the age of 20 consuming such a high dosage of sugar and corn syrup would knock you out for a day (my body doesn't deal well with sugar.) I then went in to work from 11-to 1 because someone had an emergency at work and asked for me to cover for them. I made twelve dollars on one run, it was great! Then I went home to go to math, ended up watching a movie with my roommate Abram and eating our left over ice cream from the night before. Half way through the movie my neighbors/friends Bri and Jess came over to say hello because they had spent the whole weekend down in the valley, and claimed to had felt like they hadn't seen me in years. I then proceeded to clean the house, shortly after cleaning it was time to play rugby.
It started awesome! We had 14 people out this time and in the first five minutes Justin tackled Jarom and landed right on the outside portion of my right leg, my leg buckled in and my ankle popped loud. So loud that the guy who had tackled, Justin, jumped up asking if Jarom was alright not noticing me lying on the ground next to him. I laid in the grass for about 30 seconds and jumped up and fell right back down. Luckily it is only a minor 2nd grade sprain, but enough to put me out of comission for 2-3 weeks. I'm going to try to let it heal. We'll see how well that goes. I hopped on one leg basically playing two hand touch as best I could the rest of the game.
Next I had to go to FHE. It was short, it always is. So then after FHE I had asked Jessica on a date! I went to her place and picked her up. We went to the store and got chicken terriyaki stir fry ingredients and we went back to my trailer and prepared it. All was done except for the chicken so we set it on the stove on a low heat and left to go steal flowers from someones yard. Note to everyone who is reading, flowers DO NOT grow in Thatcher in the winter time. We got back to the house and I could smell something burning, going as fast as I could with my busted ankle I bolt inside the door and pull the now charred remains of what once was chicken terriyaki off the stove and wept with sadness, because our delicious meal was now unedible. Instead of trying to stomach the remains of the meat and veggies we went to sonic and bought food, came back and watch the movie Valentine's Day, and then talked for what seemed like not to long. Until we saw my roommates room light flip on. My roommate works out at the mine in Morenci and has to be up at 3:30am everyday to make it to work on time. We looked at each other and laughed, unknowingly we had spent seven hours talking/preparing food/laughing/watching a movie and hadn't even once thought to look at a clock. I walked her home, as best I could and said goodnight.
So that is my Valentine's Day rundown, probably the most successful and most fun I've ever had on Valentine's Day! Love ya all!

The Art of Self Discovery!
Today as I was sitting home alone watching "It's Complicated" starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin-good cast by the way-I had some sort of epiphany hit me in the face. Meryl Streeps character was going nuts after having initiated an affair with her ex-husband, Alec Baldwin. Gasp! She then instantly threw her hands in the air and shouted I need to see my therapist. It got me thinking...if you need to see your therapist after having done something in hopes of justifying those actions then save yourself the money and justify it yourself. Today in English class we had talked about how todays schools don't even come close to reflecting the societal business world. We live in the information age where everything is do it yourself! So why not try to work out your problems yourself. Yes you can use outside sources, yes we all have needs that we ourselves can't fulfill alone, but unless it's something truly traumatic who needs/wants to lay down 150 dollars (Average cost for a hour therapy session...google searched it ;)) for an hour of bull$#!^. Grrrrr.....Society. Ok I'm done venting.
The last few days have been fun, just working a lot, eating a lot, and working out a lot. I've been shirking doing my homework because that's just who I am. Knees are doing great! My left ankle I sprained, not so much. My hernia surgery is holding up really well, no more problems at all, and my body is just sore from rugby 3 times a week. I've been writing this blog to avoid homework, but now I'm hungry enough to go get some food so I have a new excuse! Love you all!

Soon to come!
I did some pictures for some people just before the end of the year, so I'll be posting those later because I NEED to be doing homework right now. But I just wanted you all to know what else is soon to come. I'm putting my hair in Dredlocks. I need half an inche more on the sides and I'll be ready to dred it up. So if you see me 2 months from now, you probably won't recognize me unless you read this post! STOKED!

Sweet!
So for Christmas, I got this wicked awesome rugby ball. It took a few attempts to get enough people to play a game but finally we got some out. We had ten people playing and they all fell in love with the game. Currently we are looking to get more bodies out there and start a rugby club down here in small EAC. Give us something more to do. But most of the reason why I am posting is to just inform you of where I am at in my life as of now. Physically I'm doing awesome, recovered entirely from inguinal hernia surgery. And am now attending a gym/rehab center. It's 15 dollars a month and it's AWESOME! I've been swimming every morning, Lifting weights and what not, so my body feels awesome. I could do better at eating, but I feel I'm doing really well. It's been months since I've looked at soda! Mentally, I've never been more alive in my life, my mind is so clear and though I still can have spurts of overwhelmedness I've never been more mentally awake in my life! And I'm sure that has a great amount of correlation with how my life has been going spiritually. Spiritually, I've laid everything out in front of the Lord. And thanks to my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Atonement through Jesus Christ, I've taken control of my life through the guidance of my Heavenly Father. The Gospel is true, the Lord is great, and my life is meant to be lived through his will. Whatever he has in store for me I'll do it! And though in the past I have been hugely oppossed to such open and/or written declarations of loyalty; I feel that there comes a time in a mans life where he must verbalize/write down to show to others the sacridity of his beliefs. Talk to you all later!
Love ya!
Love ya!

Troubled by time!
Ok, so I don't have very long right now, but I just wanted you all to know I'm still alive. My roommate moved out and took the internet with him. So I haven't had any means of online interaction since my last post. My only online resources is wi fi at R and R pizza, which stinks because now I have to be around more pizza because of work and what not. Well, got to run to math class! I'll post probably tomorrow or maybe after math. who knows. Later!
