.:PARIS:.

I've been to Paris many times. I'm what they call a regular in Paris. I am to Paris like.... Mickey Mouse is to Disneyland. Like Tom Cruise is to Hollywood. Like Chase Hansen is to the weight room.....hmmmm......maybe not that much....but close. Every mourning at 9:05 I would go to the cafe down Cottage Lane to get myself a warm cup of coffee. Not hot, WARM. The cashier at the cafe would always try sparking a conversation with me. I'm guessing she wanted love but i most defiantly didn't have any for her. I would sit so I was facing outside and watch as the rain drizzled down the window. At about 9:47 a decently large man would ride by on his bike. I'm guessing that he was going to work cause he looked like hell every mourning. 

One night I decided to go to the play Have A Good Time, I had heard it was "a must see" play if you were ever in Paris. During the play I noticed a young lady a few seats down couldn't keep her eyes off me. We talked after the play, found out her name was Rivista....... she came back to the hotel with me. Yes I experienced love for the first time, only for 62 days though..... too bad it couldn't last forever. 

I met many others in Paris. They were all very interesting, most weird though. I don't remember much though. She was the only one I can remember. She has been the only one i've ever felt that feeling with. And now I am at home.... In Utah. Lonely......

.:If You Really Knew Me:.

If you really knew me, you'd know that I LOVE Panda Express.

If you really knew me, you'd know that I usually sleep on the right side of my bed, but last night I slept on the left side of my bed and had the best sleep i've had in a while.

If you really knew me...

...

..

.

You'd know I have regrets!!!

You'd know I'd wish I worked harder.
You'd know that I wish a was different....not much different...
Just a little.

You'd know I don't eat vegetables.
Cause they're disgusting.

You'd know I hate those certain BYU fans that thing their football team is top 5 in the nation........EVERY YEAR!!!!

If you really knew me, you'd know that i live to play volleyball with my buddies.
You'd know that I love ice cream....mostly the fruit flavors.
You'd know my favorite chore is vacuuming.

You wouldn't have to know me very well to realize i'm a bad writer.
You would just have to read this.
So now you know.

Fat Is Not a Fairy Tale
by Jane Yolen

" I'm thinking of a fairy tale.....where everything round is good."

Who came up with fat being ugly?

.:Shake the Dust:. (wake up)

WAKE UP!!!

This is for the gansters.
The bling ain't everything.
Wake Up.
This is for Paris Hilton.
Just cause you got money. You don't own everyone.
Wake up.
This is for Tiger Woods.
You cheated on your wife. And she's gorgeous.
Wake up.
This is for Michael Vick.
You can't just use dogs like that.
Wake up.
This is for Chase Hansen.
You're the best football player round.
Back to sleep.

.:Ghandi:.

I forget a lot of things...
I forget the important things mostly...
I always forget to say thank you to my family.
They always do what I say because I am the oldest child at home.
And I don't even say thank you.
I mean sometimes I do.
But probably only 34% of the time.
I'm a terrible person.



I'm a terrible person???????

No, no, no.

Adolf Hitler was a terrible person.

Joseph Stalin was a terrible person.

Mao Zedong was a terrbile person.

People in the documentary The Cove are terrible people.

I'm fine. Maybe I shouldn't tell them to do so much so I won't have to say thank you so much.

Hopefully when my older brother comes home they won't listen to me as much.
