apparantly I am worth $2,557,240

Hello blog. I have just gotten through all my reports at work in record time! Wahoo.

So Hannah has officially got me hooked to lists and I'm at this website with really weird lists and I thought I would share one or two... this one is not really a list but its funny...

EXPRESSIONS FOR VEGANS:

Let's talk tofurkey.
We had a whale of a time, unless that particular whale happens to be getting illegally harpooned by a boatload of murderous Japanese fishermen. If that's the case, then we just had fun—as much fun as civilized people can have with all the killing going on.
It's a dog-eat-soy-based-food-substance-shaped-into-the-form-of-a-dog world.
Holy cow. Seriously, they're deities.
Running around like a chicken with its head full of hope and possibilities now that everyone has become a vegan.
So hungry I could eat a horse. What? Sometimes I just crave a burger. Is that so unforgivable?

ALTERNATE FAIRY TALE ENDINGS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF "AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER"

And they barely tolerated each other.

And they stayed together because of the kids.

And their contempt for one another occasionally spilled over at family gatherings, prompting moments of uncomfortable silence.

And they expressed their unhappiness through passive-aggressive toilet-seat positioning.

haha k one more for now...

-oh and I found out that I am worth 2,557,240 dollars on the website HumanForSale.com

if the moon had to runaway, and all the stars didn't want to play, don't waste the sun on a rainy day. The wind will soon blow it all away.

Hello. It is 1:11 in the morning... haha I guess that qualifies as it's morning?

No...I am not having trouble sleeping. I'm just at work wishing I was sleeping mmm.zzzz.mmm. Actually I have David the Ent here with me and I guess I'm supposed to be training him still and so I'm sorta letting him do the reports but he's almost done and I haven't really had to help him because he's just got mad ent skills and I think he can pick up giant rocks and throw them into castles.

Anyways I'm definitely going to copy a Hannah list now. It is the list of the top 10 favorite things to eat. Its a pretty good list because like music, and sleep, and friends, and warm fuzzy blankets, and sunsets and sunrises, food is just something that just goes with life. So here is my list it's probably not in order of best and its just the things that I think of off the top of my head right now in the dead of night.

1. French Toast
2. Spaghetti
3. Warm Cookies
4. Cereal (yeah i said cereal)
5. Hot chocolate in the cold
6. Fruit :)
7. Steak
8. Chips and Salsa
9. Brownies
10. Pie

Now I'm pretty hungry. Howcome I never bring any food with me to eat? Actually I brought a hot tamale the other day that Hannah brought to me it was pretty great and I had never had them before and I was a little skeptical of it lol. Well work is really slow, its almost too slow. If you have ever read The Shining this kindof feels like that lol. But I guess I would rather have it be slow than busy or hectic and stressful. And today is payday yay! Its the first time I've gotten paid in like a month or maybe even two...That will be nice because its kind of hard to live forever without money lol although I tried...

Anyways life has still been going great for the most part. I'm trying to get used to Tyler being gone. Well hes not really gone just down in Orem but in some ways he is gone. I've been down to visit him quite a few times but I guess things just aren't quite the way they used to be when we could hang out around heber and I would always be over at his house or we would go get something to eat or go talk. I guess things are changing and I've always thought change is a good thing though. It seems to be getting harder and harder to be around Dylon too he seems to be anchored down by his girlfriend and at times its very frustrating. They are really some of my only friends left around here because everyone my age has left to college and gone. Plus my friends are more like my family just because I've never had the type of family I could hold on to..except for my Grandma. I think I can be loyal to friendships almost to a fault. Sometimes it feels like I hold on to things so hard that I end up shattering them. Its a bit depressing if I think about it too much. I guess I just can never see the outcome of the changes around me and thats always a little unsettling but who knows what will happen next in life anyways? Hannah and I are doing great and our new relationship has been something for me to hold to and is definitely a bright spot in a tunnel that can get pretty dark. When I spend time with her time could stand still and I could care less about anything other than that moment. Speaking of who knows what will happen next I would have never thought a couple of weeks ago we would be even remotely as close as we are but I think its pretty awesome.

Well there I went and over analyzed every little thing again lol sorry that whole paragraph was semi-depressing but all in all things are great because I know things work out for the good of everyone involved and sometimes you have to take it easy and let life put you where it needs you. Not that you should just roll over and let things push you around but you have to know when to let the current take you instead of fighting to swim against it. Oh wow what a philosophical Travis quote lol. I dont even know what I'm talking about anymore uhhhh I'm tired. Okay well anyways I'm done :)

a blog of an ironic paradox

So tonight makes the second night at work that has been really stressful. Last night at work I didn't have a password or login assigned to me by my manager to get into the computers that I need to get into so I had to call this Marriott support number that would assign me a password and the number started like 1-800 but on these stupid phones you have to dial 9 and then 1 and then the number if it is an outside number so basically I ended up dialing 9-1-1 to begin with and everyone knows what happens if you dial 9-1-1 So basically the police were sent to the building and my supervisor had to tell them that I had just dialed the wrong number and then to make matters worse I ended up dialing 911 two more times in a row and I had to tell them sorry it was an accident lol ahhhhh! That was a little embarassing and frustrating. And I never did get my login and password that I really need.

Then I had a very angry guy, who seemed very drunk as well. He called down from his room at like 3 in the morning and demanded that I have a cab waiting for him outside in 2 minutes, which is very impossible to do and I told him that I didn't have a number to call but I would look in the phone book and so he started cussing and telling me I better find a number or else he was coming behind the desk when he got down here so I had to call the security guard over and have him "protect me" lol By the time the guy came down I hadn't been able to get ahold of any taxi cab service that operated at 3 in the morning and of course the guy was furious and wanted to know where the manager or anybody was and I told him I was the only one here and he didn't believe me. So finally after about 15 minutes I got a taxi cab that was still working and he calmed down a little bit and left.

Then today I had a lady come in at like 1 in the morning and she was not a very happy lady. Probably because she was checking into a hotel at 1 in the morning or maybe her feet itched or maybe her dog died last night or I dont know but she was my very first ever check in and so I got everything ready and I went to make her keys except guess what? I haven't been given a password or login to the thing that makes the keys and I had to call and wake one of my co-workers up which really made me feel bad and it took like 15 minutes and she was really really pissed off and I told her I was sorry and that I was new and it wasn't my fault I just wasn't given a password to make her keys but she wasn't convinced and really angry.

And I think the fun has just begun because skiing season is around the corner and so is the Sundance Film Festival and I've heard stories about it being really bad during those times so I hope things can go smoothly by then.

I dont understand what makes people so angry all the time. Sure its fine to be angry once in a while and maybe its ok for certain situations but it really gets me when people are just brashly rude to people that have nothing to do with the reason they are angry. Everyone really should be a little more understanding towards each other I think it goes a long way to maybe try and connect with other people instead of brush them off your shoulder and act like your the only one that needs things. This kind of reminds me a book me and Hannah read in the book store called There's Even Hope for the Flowers....or something like that lol. It's about all these caterpillars who don't realize the purpose of life and they dont realize that they are capable of flying and enjoying something so much better so what they do is climb on top of each other and make huge towers and each one has a desire to get to the top and they step literally and figuratively step on each other to get to the top. They dont know why the want to get to the top, it just seems to be what everyone else wants to do so they want to as well. And when they get to the top they see other huge towers made by other caterpillars exactly like them, they also see a few butterflies that are flying around freely and they are jealous of them, and some get thrown off the top by others that are trying to get to the top themselves. Its just a childrens book but it is definitely very symbolic of human society and the idea that humans and their false ideas and false glorifications are their own greatest enemy, their own greatest obstacle, their own greatest challenge. Not just to themselves but to others as well. Sometimes we do stupid things just because everyone else is doing these same things and we dont really know why and after a while maybe we are even doing it subconciously without knowing reason and consequence. On the flip side humans and their ideas can lead to such great things, things that can counter the destructive nature that some people have just like the caterpillars that were capable of learning how to fly. Humans can do the same thing and can literally set themselves free of such confusion and twisted thinking. In a way it is important to set yourself apart from the crowd and take a look around and know what it is your doing, and what you want. And then help others in search of something good.

Another example of this is a movie I once saw that was made in like 1970 when computers were coming out and they had just gone to space and stuff. Basically it was a sci-fi movie about this human made supercomputer that was so powerful that it could think and reason and learn from mistakes just like a normal human could. Well they put this computer in charge of this shuttle that was going to Mars and it had like 6 guys on the shuttle too but they weren't very well trained because everyone figured the computer was going to do it all and it did for a while but something happened and the computer began to think on its own and it began to use its inherited human ability for itself. These basic principles of thinking and reasoning and judging and favoritism and love and hate were put into the computer by humans for a good intent. But the computer turned on them and started thinking for itself and ultimately killed everyone on the shuttle. Everyone else thought it was just a normal movie but it really made me think about how humans can be their own cause of destruction....and then I thought but they can also be their own greatest cause of success. It is definitely one of the most ironic paradoxes of life.

Plus all these things help create memories and and life needs to be full of funny, great, and wonderful memories.

Uhhhhhhhhghhhphhhhhfff

Oh my.

My first ever shift by myself as a night auditor. And they still haven't given me a name badge...Or let me know where the clock in punch card thingy is...And apparantly I dont know where the ice machines are located...And I have a whole room full of teenagers mad at me because Dominos doesn't deliver at 2 in the morning...My fault?? They think so...

I am finally done with all the reports that I needed to print off so basically I am pretty much done with my job except for the wake up calls and other little things. And what time is it---- 2:44 wow that means it took me four hours and forty four minutes thats pretty long. I definitely had my fair share of difficulties and I think I called for assistance somewhere around 15 times...but it was to the other night auditor at the other Marriott so I dont feel so bad because he was already awake and stuff and he told me I could call him and he's really smart and wears glasses and he reminds me of Nathan Baum and I think he has OCD which makes me laugh and this sentence is a really big run-on. I'm pretty sure I didn't get everything exactly correct and I'm sure they'll notice in the morning but hey I'm off work tomorrow so that might save me from hearing about it..maybe.
And I just got done talking to a guy who was furious that I couldn't have a taxi cab waiting for him outside in two minutes and he asked to speak to the manager on duty and I'm like I'm the only one here and he didnt' believe me but then I'm like no I'm serious and he was pretty mad and said that he was having a horrible birthday party and he hated his friends haha hmmm great.

So i've decided I really like Hannah's idea of top 10 concerts to go and see so I'm pretty much going to make my own right now :)

These are in no particular order either...

1. Coldplay
2. Death Cab for Cutie
3. The Goo Goo Dolls
4. Jimmy Eat World
5. Lifehouse
6. Modest Mouse
7. Pearl Jam
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Collective Soul
10. Snow Patrol

Yah...so I'm pretty lame and none of those have happened yet but someday hopefully when I become unlame they will.

Umm anyways I think thats all for now. Adios.

If I had the ears of an elf I could see all the way to Salt Lake

Heelllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooo.

I am at work.

What are you doing?

Thats great.

Work has gone pretty good today. There was a new kid that for some reason I was training...Do they really think that I am already qualified to train someone already? Well this kid was very unusually disproportioned he kind of reminds me of an ent in Lord of the Rings so I think that is what I am going to call him...Ent...It feels so weird being at the Front Desk of a place with like probably about 500 people sleeping in rooms all around me yet I only see about 5 people every night. Kinda strange. I can almost feel their dreams floating around the hotel, maybe my actual job title is Dream Catcher? I sit at the gateway to peoples dreams and they check in and check out whenever they please and they dream whatever they want and I allow their dreams to be dreamt. Anyways the peace and quite is usually very peaceful and actually pretty quite! Although no poems have entered my mind yet. Nor have I started pacing around the lobby yet and I haven't even dozed off once yet. These are all things that I may be doing sooner or later... So far it has definitely been a pretty easy going job and thats not a bad thing. Hopefully I will catch on pretty quickly and things will go well.

And things are going pretty well in my life I believe. Of course not everything is perfect but when is it? Perfection is always a work in progress I guess. But things are definitely good I would say. The other night me and Hannah went out to eat and I think I broke all the crayons at our table. After that we went to the cemetery to look at an old gravestone that I had to show her for some reason lol then it started raining and we went to the duck pond...I dont really know why...just the see if the ducks were ok I guess and it was still raining lighty and even though it was cold and really dark and we probably looked like idiots it was still really fun. Most of our time spent together has been simple things like laying in the park and stuff but its always perfect and really enjoyable and thats the best part and those are the things that definitely make life great. They are the moments and times that stay in our minds forever. Somehow they are more enjoyable and they are who we really are. And hopefully they always will be...

good morning

Hello I'm at work again.

First I think I should apologize for my last blog I published I'm sure it kinda made people a little worried about me but dont worry I'm just trying to learn how to live at night without going delirious. Although Hannah did say it was entertaining. Today work has gone much better I think it has to do with the person I am training with. The guy I was training with before was really cool but he didn't explain anything to me and although I could see what he was doing I didn't know the purpose behind it so therefore I didn't understand why I needed to do the things I needed to do and everyone likes to know why they do what they do right? Because thats what life is all about in one sentence :) The girl that is training me today actually explained to me what each report means and why I print them off. So I can now connect the dots a little bit better...Thats good because my level of anxiety was growing just a bit...Anyways now I feel confident I can handle the shift on my own but that won't happen until sometime next week so thats okay too, plus I think I have the next two days off!! :) ....So I can actually sleep during normal sleeping hours me thinks.

Other than that I dont know what else to write. Things are still going pretty smooth in my life. (knock on wood) I went to the park today with Hannah after she got out of school it was really good. The park may be my new favorite place in Heber. My car has been in and out of the shop nearly every day for about two weeks and even a couple weeks worth before that and they said the problem was supposed to finally be fixed but lo and behold its not....SIGH....I'm kinda frustrated about that. The good thing is I go to work in the dead of night so if my car really has to be in the shop for that long I can take it for the night to go to work and I dont really need to use it much during the day so maybe they could actually get to work on it. Me and Dylon have gone over to the other side of the mountain a couple times to visit Tyler and things seem to be going well with that. And I have to get back to some work now so thats about all.
Goodbye!

or in the words of Hannah
"goodmuch much lots!"

blog no. 50

Well hello and good morning. Buenos dias. goedemorgen. bonjour. guten Morgen.

Yes it is very early in the morning and I just wanted to say good morning you know or is there a certain name for this time of day, like the twilight zone or something? Anyways...

Yep...I am at work.
-with nothing to do
-and i'm insanely bored
-I want to start randomly texting people
-but that would be quite rude of me
-because everyone in america is asleep except for me
- and the security guard -wait he's asleep too....

Work has been going pretty good though.
-And I dont mind the graveyard shift that much so far
-I have met most of the people they seem pretty great
-They all seem to be in their late 20's or 30's kinda makes me feel too young
-Especially for the night auditor position which is actually a very important job...
-It is a very good working environment and thats a good thing
-I like working with computers and thats what we do during the graveyard shift.
-Sometimes drunk people wander in through the doors at peculiar times.


So this is my 5oth blog yay!.
-I should throw a party
-with the security guard....
-There will be a disco ball and dancing
-And a blog-a-thon with food
-we will play games and sing
-and take over the pool area
-maybe i should wake him up first though...
-I hope no one comes to rob me he doesn't look very protective
-But then I could invite the robber to the party
-And maybe he/she would have a change of heart
-And realize that robbing is not the right way to make a living
-And I could potentially influence this robbers life for the better
-wow...i dont know how I started talking about that lol

I wonder if I will ever have a 50th wedding anniversary?
-I think that would be pretty cool
-it would definitely deserve a very big cake
-and a lot of dedication to my wife
-and vice versa

I dont really know what I'm talking about.
-I'm kinda tired
- and bored
-as you can probably see
-I chugged about 3 red bulls just barely
-It gave me wings

When I get this bored my mind starts thinking about bizarre things.
-Usually about life and its complexities (spelling?)
-About fate and chance, decisions and consequences
-Moments of inspiration and points of change
-Mans inherit ability to do good as well as bad
-Sounds dorky but its interesting to me but then I over analyze everything
-And then it gives me a headache and its no fun

I think a few poems are going to come from these nights...
-So be prepared
-Thats the boy scout motto
-maybe a few...shall I say...weird blogs too? I dunno just a guess...

Anyways...

Ummmmm.
-did anyone read that anyways
-haha

:)

Guess what? I just got a phone call from the Marriot saying that I was hired for their night auditor position yes! I had a feeling I would get hired because my job interview went pretty well. So my rather boring unemployment time is about to come to an end and I'm pretty excited to be going back to work. Just because it gives me something to do I guess. Plus I know I will be making money and I definitely need to start making money again and hopefully I can save up as much as I had when I was working construction but thats really hard to do since construction paid a lot more. But I found out it is really nice when you actually have money saved up. My job as a night auditor means I will be working graveyard shifts so pretty much all throughout the night but that might actually be a good thing because that means I have like the whole day off of course I will probably sleep for a lot of the day though...It will be interesting at least. I dont really know a lot about the job description but she said I manage the front desk for the whole night and that it's just basically me and the security guard managing the whole front of the building haha which is laughable and a little intimidating but she told me it was a good job to have if I was looking to gain leadership and management experience which is definitely a plus.

So the rest of this day is probably going to be pretty boring and uneventful. I had to take my car into the shop again...this is about the 4th or 5th time in the past couple of months. My engine keeps stalling on me and its kinda scary especially if it happens in the middle of an intersection or on the highway....hopefully they will fix it this time because I'm going to need it to be good to drive to Park City for work..

I just recently learned that Tyler had quit the construction job to and that he was in the process of moving to Orem. I have spent the last weekend helping him move and he is successfully moved down there I guess. I must admit it is pretty weird not having him around in Heber. I've guess I've gotten used to it these past 5 years and it was a bit of a shock to have him just say one day "i'm moving to orem." I always thought that when we graduated high school me and Dylon and Tyler were going to move out together and go to school and be as close as we were in high school but I guess things get changed and plans get reworked and moments get spoiled and oppurtunities may be wasted. I dont really know I'm happy for him though and he seems to be happy and so maybe its just time to start working on our own lives.

Other than that things have been going pretty smooth in my life for now. I'm glad my job hunt is over with -at least I believe so. I'm relieved that I will start earning money again. I'm definitely happy to be doing something more productive than what I have been doing lately. I feel more optimistic about the future than I have in a while...I dont know why but I do..Things with Hannah are going good and that makes me happy...my dog is still as loveable as ever...My grandma is still the best ever...I make really good pinneaple upside down cake-or shall I say pinneaple right side up cake cuz I never turned it upside down...I still enjoy the simple things in life more than anything...i still haven't gotten a traffic violation yet....and tomorrow is always a new day right?

Oh bloggy

Well I have become convinced that it is much harder to find a good job than I thought it was going to be. So far I have applied at 4 places and attempted to apply at another 2 but they weren't hiring...I have yet to recieve any feedback from the 4 places I have applied and I dont know whether I should call them and ask if they have reviewd my aplication or not? Me and dylon were planning on getting a job together but he seems unconcerned about the whole deal so I dont know. I am really kinda getting bored of having nothing to do all day as well. As much as I hate to admit it, it is not so much fun as it is boring to not have a job lol. Maybe if my other friends didn't have jobs to and I didn't have bills to pay then of course it would be grand. I have been hanging out with Hannah a bit and that has been great. I have decided shes completely awesome and even though she says shes boring she really isn't. She also is really ticklish....and faintly smells of chlorine but I like it :)

Anyways thats about it for now I guess, goodbye bloggy
