Risk game with the chillins

So on the night before Brian (my roommate) took his kids o the airport to leave back to their mothers house we played an epic risk game. I started out with a battle for north America, with his daughter Monique. Isabella his other daughter was in a great position in Australia, south America and Europe and squandered it all... it was pretty much a stalemate between me and brian when his daughters both got trade ins for 30 and 35 putting the game to where you see. Now... well that brings it up to speed. I'll  update the results tomorrow after work

My thoughts on a YouTube clip for My CSIS 1000 class

haha so pretty much for my CSIS 1000 class we're learning about blogs and having an intro to them and so for the assignment i have to create a blog post with a link to a youtube clip and write a short paragraph about it! YAY FOR ME!!! haha so this is it!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X2R61u5p54

this music video is for one of A Day to Remember's softer songs. the Music Video is for the song Right Where You Want Me To Be. which, is a great song :) i love it a lot but the funny thing is that whenever society hears a little rage or deep emotion in a song (which can come in the forms of screaming or just a style of singing that sound like the vocalist is yelling) they get all offended and thing it's not right, which is messed up because all the artists are doing is writing with passion. they are talking about things near and dear to their heart, or things that are very emotionally trying etc. for them. say a break-up or the death of a loved one. they are just using tools and instruments to get their point across, as is demonstrated by this video

I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?

these are the lyrics for it in case you want to read them while watching the video.

Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all
And don't think,
That i'll always be gone

You know i've got you,
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down

So run like hell,
sleep with one eye open
You can forgive or forget
You will tell everyone the damage done
Too bad you can't stop me
You can't stop me now

I'll be there just to watch you fall
So don't push me,
I've got nothing to lose

Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all
And don't think,
That i'll always be gone

You know i've got you
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down

There I go again,
I mean its so damn hard
to come back from the mess that you've made
*something* I told you so
Your a snake and I confess
Just use your head

I'll be there just to watch you fall
So don't push me,
I've got nothing to lose

Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all
And don't think,
That i'll always be gone

You know i've got you
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down

COME ON

oooooooooOOOHHH

*ahem*

Everybody's out to get me
Any moment could be my last
This is it,
You can take it or leave it
Will you run? I will stand on my own two feet

JUST BREATHE

JUST BREAATHHE

(x2)
Don't blink,
they won't even miss you at all
And don't think that i'll always be gone
You know i've got you
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down

OH

The State of Mark Address

I'm doing really good :) i had a rejuvenating trip home to see my dad and old friends :) it was really good to see joel, scotty, roman, Bryan, and of course BRIANNA! haha sadly i don't think any of those people even read this, but o well.. haha i hung out with bryan and watched a movie then we went boarding the next day, which, he got a ticket on the way up the mountain, not fun. Now i'm back in cedar and i'm pretty happy, i got to snowboard all day today, i hit the park with my supervisor Jeremy and we had a pretty good time! i hit the rainbow box really good all day, the down box and landed two 3's but also crashed REALLY hard on another... then in the afternoon i just practiced on stopping my rotation so i can stop spinning when i hit the ground ;) haha it would probably be a good thing. my hair is getting longer and shall remain black. i rode home with some outrageous people haha and made a new friend Marissa, who is cool, lol and i dated her sister for like, an hour. hehehe... who doesn't love a good ole' temporary GF to tell the annoying stalker about?! haha. i am really craving some rice... i'll have to snap on that. at this point i really hate blogging because i don't have any pictures of my exploits to share! maybe i'll snag some photos of me boarding... haha that would be good stuff, but until then you readers will have to be content with my semi-meaningful ramblings ;) haha o! i played some intense speed scrabble over the weekend and had a good time of it! and i'm really psyched for emily to be going on a mission to Tacoma Washington!!!
One last thing, now that it's March the previous mentioned February Blues are gone. I'm Jolly and sadly... clean-shaven

Here it is, February and i'm thinkin to myself why have the Winter Blues never affected me before? and then it hit me, i have always had a HUGE support system. My Mom. No matter how hooligan status i was acting (or how sick i got) she has always been there for me, she's been my mom when i needed it, friend when i needed it, Bad Guy when i needed it (even tho sometimes i didn't think i needed it at that PARTICULAR time...) But overall my mom has pretty much rocked it up at her "job" hahaha and for that i would like to let her, and everyone else following my blog that i Love My Mom sooooooooooo much. Also in this i would like to extend this general sentiment to my sisters, dad, and close friends. haha if you're not on my speed dial, well that's tough ;) haha jk. you know who you are. anyways that wasn't really what i was planning on posting... but it kinda went along with my planned complaining.
This winter is going pretty well but it's causin' some wear n' tear to go down. i'm happy and healthy (despite the semi-constant pain in my knee) i've been working as a snowboard instructor at Brian Head for about two months now and i'm loving it, it's really harsh some days but it's just so rewarding that i can't get enough, plus i'm getting to board 3-4 times a week, how good can it get? but i'm also going to school 3 times a week so it's pretty tiring. This is having an adverse on my social life, haha cuz i'm just so pooped at the end of the day that i just don't feel too social, haha so i sit at home and do basically do nothing, lol don't hang out much, don't really do much of anything besides listen to music, work, and go to school.
wish i could update you more, but there isn't much to say other than what's between the lines... haha and it's between the lines for a reason ;)
i dyed my hair black
it looks amazing by the way

my hair was short for the last two months but is growing back :)

My musical tastes are adapting

i'm a huge fan of chili based foods (mac n cheese n chili, chili and rice, and burritos)

Heist and i are still hooligans but we're tired hooligans

Love life is pretty lame

sleepy

thinking about permanently having my hair black. yea, it's that good

going to bed! bye all!

Wow, i haven't blogged since September.. that's like two and a half months! well a lot has happened in that span of time. The semester has ended with me passing all my classes and keeping my scholarships. I bought a car about two weeks ago. She's a red 1995 Chevy Camaro. Her name is august and she makes me happy, A LOT!!!! haha. I recently got a job working up at the Brian Head Ski Resort as a Snowboard Instructor! i love my job, i get paid to do what i love, and while doing that i share my passion with other people!~ haha you can't get much better than that ;) lol unless it paid like a million dollars an hour, and that's just ridiculous.

Heist, my roommate who's real name is Rob, and i just got back from a trip to Beaver Dam where we had a good time. haha we partied it up and visited a lot of my old friends it was way fun but we didn't get to see everyone i wanted to due to time constraints :( I've gotten really excited lately about life and where i am going to take mine :) i'm going to go out to Philidelphia this summer and sell pest control for Pointe Pest control. it's gonna be awesome and i'm going to work really hard :)

Now let's take a look at the love life aspect of my life. OH done.

haha ok so that is a small exaggeration but it's fairly now existant. the two girls i was writing about in my last blog have both been like Goodbye Mark, let's be Just FRIENDS. haha so for now i'm just sorta chillin around in single style. sure there are ppl up north that like me and that i return the feelings for but frick, it's up north. how does that help me down here in blasted Cedar City???!?!?!? haha o well no big deal

O! epic story, so before i moved Joel, Roman, Scotty and me would always go to Denny's. haha so i kinda am keeping that tradition alive, Heist, me and sometimes Darren or Eric (my other Roomies) go to Denny's on a regular basis and always have a riotous time! :) haha it's pretty fun. but the big story is this. there is this waitress there and she is totally awesome! haha funny, sarcastic (in a good way Mom) , nice, and OF COURSE amazingly gorgeous. :) lol so i've been flirting with her and stuff for a while and trying to work up the courage to ask her out or for her number and a few weeks ago i finally got the stones to ask her, and i was just like Hey, can i have your number? lol and she was like WOW, that took some guts. and she gave it to me :) :) :) haha it was SIIIICK. anyway we'll see how that plays out later. as of now she's really busy and stuff.

Next story, the ward christmas party was upon us, and all through the night not a student was stirring (haha except for me!) when out of the darkness BOOM! haha i came speeding(not literally Mom/Dad) up in my shiny new Camaro! who will forever more be referred to as August. because that's her name. haha so August and i get to the ward christmas party and are chillin there with some of my roommates being hooligans of course. when whos, pretty girl sitting at the table... all alone!?!!?!! what to do?! haha so i went up to her and struck up a conversation. idk about what really i was just really excited cuz i'd bought August that day and couldn't shut up about how awesome she was. haha so we were talking and having fun. then dinner time came around and so we went our seperate ways. but then i saw one of her friends who happens to be the relief society president in my ward and was like, hey, you should hook your friend and i up on a date, lol as a sort of service project for the needy ;) haha and she looked at me like i was joking and then when she realized i wasn't being my usualy hooligan (Relief society girl!!!!) self (o that's an inside joke, that sadly i don't think anyone reading my blog will get... :(.....) she invited Heist and I to come and eat dinner with them. haha so we did. and i got her number :) lol and now it's just a matter of time before our first date :) lol Christmas break is very inconveniently placed..... haha anyway that is the story on that one. hope it wasn't too boring.

Friends! haha i now own 5 complete seasons of my favorite TV show Friends, and 2 of my close second, SCRUBS haha it's pretty awesome!


Christmas- this year it was rather interesting, i didn't get to see my dad when i went home for christmas break. and i opened presents in the middle of the afternoon on the 19th of Dec. with two and a half family members around. (Mom, Emily, Heist)

Halloween, or should i say Halo-ween??? bahahaha Darren and i stayed up really late drinking lots of Mt. Dew and playing Halo in a good example of the Notorious Tradition know as Halo-ween. lol he had a girl in his arms the whole time which i can't decide if that breaks tradition or just starts a new one... lol or maybe has no impact... lol but it was funny..

In the past few months lots have changed in the Roommate dynamic at this, The Hamlet House (where i live) we grew away from one then back closer again. kept at a safe distance from the one and are drifting ... well flying away from another. and of course i'm like this > ll with heist. hahaha and another is being stolen away from us by Janessa.... GRRRR on the Lingard Fiend! hahaha silly Darren Perrin.... :)

well i'm tired of typing, and i THINK i've covered all the important things. other than i need to emphasize some thing. the girl i was refering to as amy... i think.. yeah she is CRAZY and totally made me super sad. ugh i am MAYOR of the Zone! haha the friend zone. in case you didn't get that... well love ya all and hope you didn't fall asleep during this whopping post

o yeah, i also have short hair.
