lows and highs
You ever have a moment when you think that everything is just going wrong ? I Had a moment like that today, I guess you could call it a panic attack. I didn't break down or anything.
I was driving and everything the I have on my plate as a father husband and human came crashing down on me. I look back on it in a weird way. I mean were okay the kids are alright. We have food and a place to live and Tivo. There isn't much we want for. I don't know why I felt so much weight at that moment.
I am sitting my our bed here with a lot on my mind. My wife says that I freak out too much and that I need to relax but right now I have a ear ache and it really hurts.
Things that I am thinking about.
1 Bills
2 The Utah Miners
3 Work
4 Why did Doug and Carrie never have a baby on king of queens when Lisa Remini was so often pregnant
5 Why No one comments on my blog when I have quite a few visitors
6 Why Jessica Simpson has an acting career
Random I know.
I read that screen writers are now making $300,000 per script plus back end on the box office and creative control. Its time to start writing people. Hollywood needs something new.

Movie troubles
My wife and I were able to go and see the third Bourne film the other day. We are not able to see many movies and we have been lucky enough to see 2 movies in the last 2 weeks. Harry Potter 5 and Bourne 3. Well I have to say this was the worst movie experience of my life.
When my wife and I sat down we had good seats near the back as it’s a shake cam fest with the Bourne films, after the trailers started a couple sat down in front of us . The woman started talking and making comments. Then we both caught a very foul smell. My wife said “lets move” I agreed and we moved closer to the screen. Well this proved to be no better.
Behind us was an older couple that didn’t know how to whisper. I shushed them a few times and did others, freaking old people! Then sitting a few seats over from my wife sat a lady that was constantly cracking her knuckles and rubbing her hands together. She would do this at a tense time in the film so it was constant. Then behind me there was a couple that would talk when the action would pick up and try to talk to Jason to help him out.
These people should be killed. I should have been able to shoot every one of these people in the head with no legal recourse. Bang Bang. Bang. I paid way too much to see that fick to have these A holes ruin every second of the film for me. So I am done. I am done seeing films that are new in the theater I am either going to wait until they are on DVD or at least in the theater 3 weeks or get the bootleg.
I know why movies are not making as much money as they did a few years ago it because of people like these.
SO aside from the jerks the movie was really good.

39.- 21 More things about me.
Its been a long time and I still have a few more things to share about myself.I wrote most of this long ago but never put it up. No pitures this post, I know lame maybe I will add a few later
38. My favorite film is Fight club. It came out when I was on my mission, but I was able to enjoy it on DVD when I got home. Directed by my Favorite director its a messed up guys only film. It has some of the best camera work ever. Its not a movie that I would ever want my mom to watch but I think that every guy should watch it.
37. My sister says that I make up a lot of stories, She would often say " Like that time you got your head stuck in the banister?" Well we didn't have a banister. I still don't know why she said this, any of my stories can be back up by at least one person. Me.
36.Even though I was attacked by a girl in kindergarten I never had my 1st real kiss until I was 22. I never had a girlfriend. I always wanted one but it never worked out. see my next few entries to see why.
35.I had braces for 5 years. Yep I got them damn things on in the 7th grade and they didn't come off until the end of my junior year. It was mostly my fault, I never did what the doctor said to do, like wear my rubber bands. I think that I could have shaved a year off if I wasn't a stupid kid. My mouth was a mess. I had to have 4 teeth pulled even before the braces were put on and I had a tooth behind my front teeth. But my teeth are much better then before and are still pretty straight.
34. I was short and chunky in high school. I was a late bloomer for sure. while everyone was growing and voices were changing. I just stayed the same. So after high school I grew and grew and grew a bit more on my mission. I was 5'10 when I was 16 and I was 6'4 when I came home from my mission. I am very grateful for my height. Its something that I value a lot. I know that I kinda earned it by putting up with a lot of crap in high school.
33. I wasn't the most out going guy in high school. I stayed to myself and my friends. I didn't travel out of my selected friends. I wasnt with any click in the school. I went on dates but I was never asked to any of the girl choice dances. I am not bitter as most of the girls were sluts and I didn't want to put myself in a place where I would compromise my values. When I got back from my mission I was a different person when it came to being social. I became more of a people person and opened up.
32. So going back to #36 My first real kiss was when I was 22 I can't remember her name. It was a set by my sister . She was young and lied to me about her age. She was 17 and told me that she was 18 and out of high school but she was just starting her Sr year. I knew that I would never see her again so I just went for it and we made out. It was nice. I still kinda feel bad about the whole thing, after me her life fell apart, poor kid.
31. I have met a few famous people in my day. I have met Adam Duritz and the band Counting Crows. Tom Morello the lead guitar from Audioslave and Rage. I met Dennis Rodman and Vince Neil at a club in LA. I met Charles Gibson the ABC news anchor on a flight to Utah. Just this week I saw Paul Teutul Sr, The dad from American Chopper at a Wal mart in Orange county NY , I didn't talk to him because he could rip me in half. I saw Josh Hartntte and Scarlett Johanson on the streets of NY, ( they walked right by us and the wife spotted them.)
30. I sleep on my stomach. If I don't sleep on the right side or on my back I snore.
29. I love Mt Dew, I don't drink it much anymore to keep it special. Also I don't want diabetes.
28. My Pets. I have had a few pets in my life time Rags was our dog for a long time. He followed my sister home from school and we took him in. He got cancer and had to be put down. Baby Georgie was a Mag Pie that I stole from a nest behind my school. He was loud and stank somthing nasty but he would dive bomb the neighbors so I liked him. He went back to his own kind. We had a few cats, Baxter, Bo, and Datoka. Baxter and Bo disappeared. and Datoka was givin away. Dakota hated me, but he had reason. He was often target practice for my dart guns. I always wanted a dog of my own but my dad said " when you get back from your mission I will buy you any dog you want." I am still waiting for that promise. Juline and I got Roxy and loved her for years. She now lives with her grandparents in Utah. She wasn't welcome at our new place. but were glad that she is still in the family.
27. I don't like Helen Hunt. I think she is ugly and not believable in her roles. I am glad that she hasn't made any films for a long time. In the year 2000 she was in 4 major films and stunk them all up. Cast Away was ruined by her. There is no way that Tom Hanks would get off that island for her. Oh and I really hate Helen Hunt jr , Leelee Sobieski.
26.I Love the band Counting Crows. I have seen them live in concert 5 times and have met most of the band. I fell in love with them in high school. The lead singer looks like a weirdo. A white guy with dreds just doesn't work. But man that guy can write a great song.
25.I hate Oprah and everything that she does. I don't like how everyone thinks that she is a great person. Yes she started a school in Africa but do people understand how much money this woman is worth? A school in Africa couldn't have set her back more then 5 million. She makes that much money a week. Lets see her do something in this country. There are plenty of people that need help like that here. Also she unmarried and tells married women what to do and how to think, and they follow. Its just not right. So to hell with her and her book club and her stupid friend Gail. Oh and just because it was on the Oprah show doesn't make it fact.
24. When I was 8 years old my King grandparents took me to the Sizzler. It was just them and me. It was after my birthday. I loved shrimp so I got the all you can eat shrimp platter. Well every time the waitress would come and ask if I wanted more shrimp I would say "Yes" and my grandfather would cringe . I think that he thought that he was going to have to pay for each shrimp that I ate, not knowing that he had already paid.
23.I like to go shopping .I am able to go shopping and not buy a thing. For many this is a hard thing to do. I think this has a lot to do with going shopping with dad during the summer break. We would wake up eat breakfast get ready then head past Ogden and Hit Smith and Edwards, we would look at the guns the horse tack, then the fishing stuff then back to the guns for a second look. Then we would go to Kent’s and look at more guns.
22.After Kent’s we would make it to the DI , this is my dads Mecca. The plan was to go in back look at the toys and out door stuff then to the books, then the men’s fashion. I never liked the last part. After we were done with O town we would hit a few pawn shops on the way back home. Mostly we would never buy a thing. Sometimes my dad would pick up a dress shirt or 5.
21.My dad is the best dressed man I know. He owns more dress shirts then there are days in a year. I am not kidding. Next time I am back in there neck of the woods I am going to take all of my dads shirts and lay them out in their yard and see how much yard I can cover. I bet I can get the whole yard covered with nicely pressed, stiffly starched shirts.
39. I was scared by a bum named Andy. Andy the Bum was a bum that walked around my neighborhood when I was a kid. He was a dark skinned man, either he was Indian or was out in the sun a lot. He had bleach blonde hair down to his shoulders and white sun glasses. I remember finding out that his name was Andy. My friend Josh told me that if you yell out Andy he will look around for someone calling his name. And we tested it and it worked. Kind of mean now that I look back on it, but everyone knew Andy the bum.
38. My favorite film is Fight club. It came out when I was on my mission, but I was able to enjoy it on DVD when I got home. Directed by my Favorite director its a messed up guys only film. It has some of the best camera work ever. Its not a movie that I would ever want my mom to watch but I think that every guy should watch it.
