Jenn LOVES my new camera!

This has been one of the very few weekends that we have been at home and had nothing to do but just enjoy the weekend. Although I still have to do some homework, but that's another story. I finally got to play around with my fancy new camera. I thought the best way to test my new camera would be my beautiful wife. But apparently the flash on my new camera is rather bright and it disrupted the 'groove' she had going. But other than that I just love the camera. It takes much better pictures than my old camera and since the memory card that I have for it can hold about 1,600 pictures I never have to worry about saving space or taking dumb pictures. This is a good example of just how cool this camera is.

Would you believe that I took that picture from ACROSS THE ROOM? That's right folks. From across the room. This thing has incredible zoom. The possibilities are limitless now. The mind truly boggles with all the possibilities that have opened up. Now I know that some might find this picture a little odd so Ill have to give another example.

Jennifer and I were out driving and we tested out the camera for some night shots at the Logan temple. Worked out pretty well. It will be nice when the weather warms up and I can take this baby up the canyon. I'll have to try and post some random pictures up every now and then.

How I may die prematurely

This week has been just peachy. A history paper due, a group project four calculus assignments, a large physics assignment, a calculus test, and a physics test. I just finished all of that about 40 minutes ago. And the worst part about it is that I am paying these people to make me do this. Whoever came up with this idea that you should pay to do homework should be severly flogged. I just hope that if I do enough homework and pay enough money that someday that will give me a piece of paper that will allow me to never do homework again. That is the real reason that people go to college. So that they can say, "I never have to do homework again." I really look forward to the day when I no longer have to spend my friday nights finishing up the last of my physics homework before it is due at midnight.

Little shop of horrors

I think it all started late one night when my parents had gone off on a date and I was at home watching my brothers and sisters. They had all gone to bed but I sat and watched TV and fought sleep to search for entertainment. I happened to come across a show called Little Shop of Horrors. Had I known at the time that it was a musical I probably wouldnt have watched it and would not be writing this or have this great fear. But I did watch. And it scarred me for life.
The musical itself is not about the dentist it is actually about a giant plant that eats people. Which is why I watched the show in the first place. But one of the main characters played by Steve Martin is a sadistic dentist. During his solo he rips the teeth out of small children and enjoys using laughing gas as he prepares to operate on individuals. I dont have to even tell you how this affected me as a growing young man. It has progressed to the point today that I would rather do calculus homework while having an ingrown toenail removed than go to the dentist. Yes its that bad.
The human body is an amazing thing. There is only one flaw. Teeth should never ever ever ever have to picked at with sharp metal objects and needles should never go inside your mouth. Teeth should have been made out of titanium. I have prayed many times and asked why this is not so. No answer yet. The reason might possibly be just to torture me. Even though I have only had one cavity in my entire life, once is enough to know that it is evil.
My wife just returned from the dentist her mouth is all numb. She is far braver than I am. But this is probably the only time that I am perfectly fine with that.

Why is there never enough time or money?

Once upon a time I was 6 or 7 and all I had to worry about were getting girl "cooties" and getting candy. It was just "get candy get candy get candy". Right now I could really use some candy. I also have come to like "cooties". I think that my wife probably has the best "cooties" out of all the entire female population.
I miss the days of coming home from school and then after chores were done going outside to pretend that the piece of sprinkler pipe that I had painted green was a light saber and that I was a Jedi Master. I have attempted to do this in my apartment and it just doesn't work as well. Too many things that can break. But that is part of growing up. Learning that you cant swing your light saber in the kitchen.
I really enjoyed growing up. Even though I am complaining about it now there are some things that I don't miss. I don't miss Jr. High and the awkwardness that ensued there. I don't miss having to ride my bike everywhere. ( I do enjoy riding my bike, but cars are convenient when you want to carry stuff aren't they.) Life just likes to remind you that you're not so tough every now and then and today is just one of those days. I would love to reach the point in my life in the future where I look at an indefinite integral and just laugh and say "Bring me something that will test my math skills more than this puny integral which you have laid before me." But for right now I'm just going to have to be content cowering in fear.
I sometimes feel that if they would just add five more hours into each day then I would have time to do all the things that I need to. But then people would just give me more to do and say "Hey don't complain; you have five extra hours do it." So the only solution to this problem is a watch that stops time. I have been working on the design but all it's doing so far is timing how long it takes me to come up with a watch that stops time.
Another thing that would make life easier is if I were somehow related to Bill Gates and he liked to spend money on me. LOTS of money. But, just as before, until the genetic tests that I have sent to the lab come back I'm just going to have to be happy with everything that I've got. And you know what. I am. Life is pretty darn great even though school likes to kick me in one cheek and my wallet likes to kick me in the other.
So... to sum all this up. I am happy and sad. But mostly happy. Happy that I am blessed with everything that I have. And sad that my light saber broke.

My first blog post ever!

Well I guess this is a testament to peer pressure. Everybody was doing it and I jumped in. My wife has an amazing blog that is really cool and today out of the clear blue I decided that I want one too. So here it is in all its glory. Bask in the glow of my typed words. Bwahaha. I have no idea what I'll write in here, so consider this a to be continued.
