Along with the negative degree weather, my optimism has frozen.

Well this semester blows and I want to do something new! I have basically the same classes and class schedule, so it seems like the worlds longest semester ever! I think the bitterness of the weather here in San Pete has finally taken over my soul.
    I will list to you the reasons why this semester is going to be awful
1. My classes are terrible
2. I'm incredibly tired and hungry all the time
3. I'm poor and there is no where to get a job
4. and I am sick of the boring repetitive boring days here.
     So I decided that I am going to go down to Dixie next semester, because Dixie has been a part of my life since I was born. My uncle was the baseball coach (Now the BYU head coach) and there is my Grand ma's condo, which we have spent a lot of time at.  So going to Dixie would be like second nature. Plus its warm and there are things to do like Go out to eat, play in the desert, watch a movie at the theaters, stroll through the Di or any shopping place for that matter, and Meet new people. I understand I meet new people here at Snow, but most the students here at snow have a certain personality about them. Most the Students here are from the 6 surrounding counties, which are all small country communities. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the country and small towns and the people which come from them. It's just I notice people try to act like big city people, but are from a small town. and on the weekends 95% of the small population of students head home for the weekend, so this place loosely resembles those old west boom towns that are now Ghost Towns. So weekends would be the worst part of the week if we had school on the weekends, but luckily we don't. So I still prefer weekends over weekdays. I'm just tired of there being no one to do anything with besides Jake and Harrison. I mean they're my BOYS!! but we kinda get sick of playing video games, watching Tv and Movies everyday. But mostly Im sick of driving an hour just to do things we cant do here, like Go to betos or any food place for that matter. Tired of having no place here that will work on my car for a good price, and by price I mean like not $100 to do Inspections and what not.
       Snow Is an incredibly amazing place! I love it so much, its just time for change.

If you are in a relationship, don't be the weird couple

While coming home for the weekend, we stopped in provo to see some people at the University mall and that was the start of the whole thing about relationships and weird couples came about. When at the mall Jake and I were walking around looking for varies things, and we both happened to notice how many couples there were walking around, and Particularly how many couples were ring shopping! (I know it was provo, but still...)
        2nd instance... When at the We Came As Romans concert, you see a whole bunch of weird things. and When I say weird things, I mean super odd people with dyed hair thats a Mohawk thats spiked 10 inches up. But back to the couples. First of all... why in the world would you bring your girlfriend to a Hardcore/ Metal concert?? but okay lets say you do. If you want to be in the front where most the moshing/ jumping/ pushing/ fighting is, dont bring her down there because
1. If you actually care about her safety, dont bring her down where all the craziness is!
2. If you do bring her where all the craziness is, then you're not having fun at the concert because you turn into the super overly protective boyfriend who pushes you if you some how even look at her or bump into her
3. If she happens to get hurt, then you look like such a Dumb person
       Also this weekend Like 3 or 4 people I know are getting engaged and that seems super weird to me, because I havent ever had a serious girl friend, or girl friend for that matter. So when I see all these happy couples it kinda makes me sick.... but until I somehow meet a girl that I would like to date consistently and or date. Ill never know how it feels to be the jealous over protective bro friend

The Wild West is Where I Want To Be

Everyone has different opinions and thoughts towards the civilizing of the western united states during the mid to late 1800's, but you cant deny it wasn't some of the most crucial times this country has ever had.  "Out West" had anything your little heart could desire. Anything from get rich quick schemes,       (such as gold mining,  Silver mining or anything of that matter) couple month long cattle drives and get so much money for each head of beff you brought back, you could become a businessman and start up your own Saloon/ Casino, Become a Dr ( Which I have no idea how you could become certified. I'm sure it went like this "Hey man can you stitch me up real quick?" Oh for sure, ill grab some string a hot iron and a sharp object! "Hey that looks good and is holding up real well!" I should get paid for this.) Other employment opportunities are endless, One could become the town barber and Use those sweet Suicide Straight edges. You could be living life on the edge in the country. Trap for a living, be one of those rebellious young teens who would risk your life to ride on your noble steed for days at a time to deliver mail and be apart of the Pony Express. YOu could change your life around and be the town law. Or you could do what I would have done, and thats become a Bandit/ Outlaw.  Okay lets thing about this... You becoming a Outlaw makes sure you have a great horse, unreal amounts of firearms and ammo, a band of brothers like you've never had before, and the thrill of being able to screw over those rich jerks that you couldn't unless you were a Bandit!
        I guess before I get going to off track Ill tell yall why I think the "West" is so important.  I believe everyone can learn from these times because they lived life in a way that makes every Year, month, week, day, Every breathe they took very important because there is no certainty that they might have a tomorrow. I look up to these folks very highly because of their hard work ethic, getting things done and done right, the attitude they had towards people and they didn't take crap from anyone or let people walk all over them.
     The Wild West was more than just an Amazing time period, a lot more. It is the Idea of facing your fears, risking it all, expanding your boundaries, reinventing your self to be the person you wanted to be.
    Yes I know we cant live like they did then, because we actually have laws and regulations, but what I hope you take from this is that you can do what you want, be who you want to be, and if someone tries to stop you, Get them out of your life. Take chances because you never know what the outcome will be.
