My bags are packed and I'm ready to go

Well here I am sitting on top of everything that I own and then some. Couldn't really believe that it all could fit snug in my lil old Honda accord. Shes a beauty! She's called the Black Stallion. :) She's a trooper! I've never thought I would be moving back from the place I grew to love, but here I am ready to move. I feel like the Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, when he is sitting on top of the sleigh of all the Who's belongings laughing and just about to peace out on the village. That is who I am for this weekend..I am the Grinch. :) Alls I need is alittle push..any helpers?

Soft as angel feathers

There are many people today that deserve recognition...many debates and famous records being broken, but the most important of them all over all the rapid movements of the world is my mother. She had her birthday yesterday and she has never looked so young and eager. Thanks to her I will never have wonder what I am going to have for breakfast ever again...for the only breakfasts available to anyone in the world is the following

Monday: Cream of Wheat

Tuesday: Eggs and Toast and some yogurt fruit concoction that she overheard someone talking about in relief society.

Wednesday: French Toast (If we were lucky we'd be eating last nights hamburger buns with the seeds shaved off)

Thursday: Oatmeal (and to spice things up sometime mom switches Mondays and Thursdays meals to keep us kids always guessing)

Friday: The best...Cold cereal day

Saturday: Pancakes or Asia Pans! (Depends who wanted to cook..mom or dad)

Sunday: Another Cold Cereal day! Yes!!

So there you have it! These are the only choices that man has if he wants to have breakfast at any one point of his life! :) And you know that all of us kids are going to serving the same to our kids...or at least I will be for sure...Keeps one from wondering what we are going to have for breaky... "What are we going to eat this morning? oh..oh..what day is it? That's right it is Wednesday...that means French toast! yum!"

No I am grateful for my mom and for what she as taught me in my lifetime. She is so sweet and innocent, her touch is like an angels wing. I love you mom. And I am so glad you were born on this belayed day. There are few thoughts that go through my head without you or your influences attached. My mom also just recently got a job and hats off to her...she hasn't had an hourly job in years and I'm proud that she has taken this new turn and doing her part to help out! Love ya! So many good memories I have of you. Happy Birthday

"All things go, all things go"

Well my time is being cut short up here in Washington. I just kinda hit a wall for myself...I really, for the first time, felt that I really need to go to school and finish up what I have started and prepare myself for what lies ahead. I'm excited, I can actually say that with confidence that I really am. Yes I am excited! I'm just going to push it through..if it be hard..I will do it. The hard thing for an individual to know is what he/she wants to do for the rest of their lives. I'd love to do alot of different things..not just be a one certain thing/person. That is why school is so hard for me. I can't just go and say...a writer..that is what I want to be...blah blah yadda yadda yadda. Or a dentist that is it. I just can't. I feel like I cant. The problem is that I would love to do a number of occupations and I'd enjoy doing them but I would not be making alot of money..and I want that to support me and keep me from worries..financially that is. I'd love to be a Marine biologist...work with the sea life...find new discoveries and twists in evolution. I'd love to be a chef..food is a passion of mine. I'd love to do just sit in the kitchen all day making delicious treats and meals! Radio Deejay, Musician, Pilot, Biologist, Meteorologist, journalist, and the list goes on. Why is it said that we must do one precise thing for a living...I just recently was wondering why I have had past jobs that I have had.

example- Golf course...I suck at golf..Its is fun but I'm not a huge golfer...Why wasn't I doing something that I was really interested in? Why wasn't I working at a used CD store as the manager? Why wasn't I working at a local rock climbing gym? Why wasn't I working at REI ten years ago!? All these questions I have no answer. I think we get in the mindset that we have to do something and that is the way life is and there is no other way around it. You do this..you do that...don't do what you like to do cause you are not smart and can't make money doing what it is that you like to do...blah blah blah.. We should look around and see what we can do that we REALLY enjoy not just say we enjoy and we should take that and try and make it a passion. Why can't someone who has a passion create songs or whatever and make money from it? If I say took six months out and just wrote songs on my own...I guarantee you I would have some pretty stellar songs..songs that may be even smiled upon by the record labels. Why is it that if I do that people and family members would say that my life is a waste? I wonder if parents said that about many of the famous artist that we enjoy? I bet alot of them did...If my son/daughter truly had passion for something I would encourage them...not look at it as horrible and try and stunt that passion. We should support those individuals that have a great passion for whatever and give'em a thumbs up and say right on! Good job! I dunno these are just a few things I have on my mind as of recent. As for now I say good day and always look up. Don't take the first persons advice if they say you can't...cause you can. Keep well! Peace :)

Days gone by

So I'm heading right on through my second month in Seattle and things are ever so up and down, funny how it goes. It really is different but interesting. I've walked through pikes place a few times and picked up an occasional ...uh.... dough like oriental foods...I just spaced out on the name but they are oh so good. I have tried catching a show at the show box but only seem to get into the coffee shop shows...something pretty interesting that I found out the other day was that sometime big names such as Eddie Vedder, or Dave Matthews will book an evening show in some small coffee shop under another name and then, what seemed to be an everyday show turns out to be a sweet up close and personal performance from main-stream singers. I'd love to see a show by Mason Jennings..that would be sweet. But anyway, life is grand but I seem to always get stuck in rush hour..and this isn't little SLC rush hour this is, "I'm going to be an hour LATE rush hour!" But I will hand it to the Seattlites they are good drivers. I haven't seen one accident since I've been here. In Utah on I-5 there was ALWAYS an accident people never paying attention...trying to out run the old granny next to them. Man Utah traffic is something I don't miss I'll tell ya that.
I have also encounter my insomniac stage of life again. I am really wide awake tell about 5AM every morning or until I do the alternative, which is sleeping pills.. so that is my constant sleeping aid. You would not believe the wind storms they have up here...amazing!! Its funny because Kayleens younger brother who I'm staying with gets so mad at the wind and thinks it is so annoying but I just laugh at him and as he is trying to shut the window I open it back up with a smile and tell him to enjoy it...cause one day it wont be there and he is going to miss it. He is in High school still and doesn't really understand that so he just shrugged it off and continued on being Mr "I know everything about life" high school boy. Whateve he'll one day turn around and see how dumb he acted and treated others. It is great living with the Calls though..they treat me so well, but I plan on bein outta their hair asap...I have a friend I might be movin in with soon so I'll see how that plays out.
