This is a place for you to keep tabs on what is going on in my crazy life, my rants on the happenings in the world, and me just saying it like it is.B-radleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05192968658644402087noreply@blogger.comBlogger146125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-5845729036111957192013-07-10T13:54:00.001-06:002013-07-10T13:54:39.299-06:00Once Upon A TimeOnce Upon a Time, I had a blog. I updated it with random thoughts, pliests (which is a piece with a listy quality to it), pictures, new music that I loved, and weird celebrity crushes. That was a year ago......maybe more. I am thinking about possibly blogging again. But this time it will be private. So if you are interested in ever seeing me blog again first, let me know that you are and then hopefully, I will start blogging again.
Until then,

Well not actually get born. I do not even want to watch my own children get born. I maintain that I was meant to be an adult in the late 50's where the times were simpler. Where Nat King Cole was on the radio and men stayed in the waiting room where they belong. Where I Love Lucy was on the television and husband and wives had their own beds........and you all wonder why I am not married yet. And my inability to behave like a normal adult is a post meant for a different day. This post is dedicated to my precious (yes I realize that as a straight adult man that word should not be coming out of my mouth but once you see these pictures there are really no other words left to aptly describe her.)<br /><br />Introducing Brooklyn Love Cummings.

She is........correct (Don't let it get to your head). So here is the playlist for this comeback slumpback..... REMIX. Warning, don't listen to if if you are sad. Also, next post will be pics of my amazingly adorable brand new baby niece. So stay tuned. That will be the happy post when I get out of this bluesy funk.

Growing up sucks sometimes. I thought it would be easy. I thought that at some point it is just suppose to come easier. I thought my life would be different than it is somehow. That moving away would be easy for me to do. Don't get me wrong. I do like it here. It has been so incredibly good for me and helped me grow up so much. But, half of my heart will always be in Utah with the people that I love. I miss my mom. I miss my dad. I miss my sisters. I miss my brother and his amazing family. I miss my nephew and I miss my two nieces. I miss my best friend 5 year old next door neighbor. I miss my grandparents. I miss my friends. You know who you are. You are the only ones who read this POS blog and the only reason I keep posting things on here. You all make me a better person for letting me be a part of your lives. So here I thank you for leaving permanent footprints on my heart. For remaining my friend even though I moved 700 miles away to go to school and figure out my life. For answering my phone calls. For cheering me up. For letting me sleep over when I come home and staying up late just talking. For endless gchats. For group lunches. For birthday wishes. For funny stories. For all the reminders of how lucky I am to have you in my life.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-5439022256899670092012-03-01T22:31:00.004-07:002012-03-01T22:46:14.025-07:00I'm AliveWell, sorta. I know I haven't posted in a long, long, long time, and as a friend recently pointed out, she has read the entire internet twice, and would appreciate something new to read from me specifically. So Melissa, this one is for you and the 4 other people who read this blog. School has been super killer this semester. On top of a full load of classes I also am externing at the Regional Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs. I use the full name to make it sound even more important. Basically i work in a small building just outside of the VA hospital in PHX. It has been a good experience and I work for some really nice people. It just adds 18 hours of work to my already hectic schedule. <br /><br />I have managed to finally take pictures of my apartment. You may remember I moved into this place sight unseen minus some Craigslist photos. I am tough. Whatever. And then I promised to take pictures of the place so you can see where i live and then never did. Well the other day I cleaned the apartment (minus the bedroom so obvi there are no pictures of that (maybe one day I will get that up)). So here is where I live.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrN7g5BvRym32x9tAx-gRCdpQe_fmJXKyfn6lSUX0B2jiF3zLxjqax5wym9IjhQ91My_CXvmwmaGe8_xRzyW52Bwlv-fB6AagMpRHMC2P8XywGDX0Jm1Dezv_zYAThRX7RtJRyZ5J2aM/s1600/IMAG0275.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrN7g5BvRym32x9tAx-gRCdpQe_fmJXKyfn6lSUX0B2jiF3zLxjqax5wym9IjhQ91My_CXvmwmaGe8_xRzyW52Bwlv-fB6AagMpRHMC2P8XywGDX0Jm1Dezv_zYAThRX7RtJRyZ5J2aM/s400/IMAG0275.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715170985339865762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB0AJm9PIVuo7Yl4P_Eb6Gxk8hzONYfmxnPNP_Q_0kvfP0oujJgPnGvenW29S9CbJ4b21CFpWQjBk08m2ZWqKj_zjCUISqAx1s-Dd9Gsm1l-3oWG9uGl1qbW-s_UorsLEuSwAQUCb4qM/s1600/IMAG0277.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB0AJm9PIVuo7Yl4P_Eb6Gxk8hzONYfmxnPNP_Q_0kvfP0oujJgPnGvenW29S9CbJ4b21CFpWQjBk08m2ZWqKj_zjCUISqAx1s-Dd9Gsm1l-3oWG9uGl1qbW-s_UorsLEuSwAQUCb4qM/s400/IMAG0277.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715170982490642146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfGE8fArur08SsjSjMD6VhdymEMIQFaQyGrI7x5TyPhfV4H7R19I59jrmkfNEc94xzzCRy1ipnsaN4fuFv6Hpj5fV-ew-XZyI8MohXU_8Fl99kVIBqf51Ej8PuWYQwIGS7UjCp_npskY/s1600/IMAG0273.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpfGE8fArur08SsjSjMD6VhdymEMIQFaQyGrI7x5TyPhfV4H7R19I59jrmkfNEc94xzzCRy1ipnsaN4fuFv6Hpj5fV-ew-XZyI8MohXU_8Fl99kVIBqf51Ej8PuWYQwIGS7UjCp_npskY/s400/IMAG0273.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715170978595664898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjsdwhYWWrnU_IC_izAQKT6yT_PAPYpW4rj0Ac1FFTOtjB9vD0Qwl0aKMFxTKIs7YiyM8e-ZuB8SI-zdlr6JxFbgEV1XXBzmtMj5huRukIX0N0lBi2Jmu-GtTh9xLkPQxMFlogVql0r8w/s1600/IMAG0271.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjsdwhYWWrnU_IC_izAQKT6yT_PAPYpW4rj0Ac1FFTOtjB9vD0Qwl0aKMFxTKIs7YiyM8e-ZuB8SI-zdlr6JxFbgEV1XXBzmtMj5huRukIX0N0lBi2Jmu-GtTh9xLkPQxMFlogVql0r8w/s400/IMAG0271.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715170968567023394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK3_FS7xHSII0MHy5ZAN5IQgXkmBMwTKJANgrw2624slkd97WBet87bB7XI_CBaiXAPClbDNoYVXbt9bd2RSDMPM09mhq6cKaU7FWOrrpJCD0pfVSFARxDS9GSdAzXMuGJgqvjVbg35v4/s1600/IMAG0272.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK3_FS7xHSII0MHy5ZAN5IQgXkmBMwTKJANgrw2624slkd97WBet87bB7XI_CBaiXAPClbDNoYVXbt9bd2RSDMPM09mhq6cKaU7FWOrrpJCD0pfVSFARxDS9GSdAzXMuGJgqvjVbg35v4/s400/IMAG0272.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715170964247570818" /></a><br /><br /><br />I also managed to totally OCD organize my closet.

I really hate that word. It is a stupid stupid made up word. But i don't know what to call it. There are certain dudes that i have an affection for, not in a gay way, but just an admiration for their ability to be awesome at something they are really good at and I am pretty sure if we knew each other in real life we would probably be best friends. If you have ever had this conversation with me you know that I think that this list includes: Andy Roddick, Brandon Flowers, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Chris Pratt, and the this new addition: Donald Glover aka the Childish Gambino aka Troy from the show Community. Actor, writer, comedian, and rapper. Its like we were twins separated at birth.....except that I am not any of those things. And he is black, and as much as I tell people that I am probably at least half black, no one believes me. So maybe not separated at birth twins, maybe just best friends who won't meet until heaven where we discovered we were totally best buddies before in heaven. Tangent over. <br /><br />If you don't know who he is you should watch this show<br /><br />Community<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jvq5XxJx_Qjgnm5R7RdsdojsANftBQWmOzp4hoqMV-KLhn8DEzEGr41IhHz0f-SfX8stM5EhLk1fGTxZjfQf2qn8WB_WlNKFU9jTzSigZR5OC-GNWEW1EA2T1AQKT-opwhAExvUPJBE/s1600/community.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jvq5XxJx_Qjgnm5R7RdsdojsANftBQWmOzp4hoqMV-KLhn8DEzEGr41IhHz0f-SfX8stM5EhLk1fGTxZjfQf2qn8WB_WlNKFU9jTzSigZR5OC-GNWEW1EA2T1AQKT-opwhAExvUPJBE/s400/community.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683679874092759586" /></a><br /><br /><br />Where he plays Troy<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPllRPeX_BDeVAG8OJz37sn6p0c03u2N1pmzukXLUx3yb6oB0NiqUNjiGB6GgpGdVChS6o7SgzJRNRSnSIOTcJgdF9ep8B6JDIzVW9B4IXYx9E-uBDgEA4TM1ILsZvA6m-67JNWnxkf0Y/s1600/troy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPllRPeX_BDeVAG8OJz37sn6p0c03u2N1pmzukXLUx3yb6oB0NiqUNjiGB6GgpGdVChS6o7SgzJRNRSnSIOTcJgdF9ep8B6JDIzVW9B4IXYx9E-uBDgEA4TM1ILsZvA6m-67JNWnxkf0Y/s400/troy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683679878590921346" /></a><br /><br /><br />or listen to his amazing rapping skills.

I dig everything on it. His random videos, his art, the music, the journal entries, the love of minimalist architecture, the ladies, and the dudes fashion. If I could somehow lose 15 pounds and be able to pull off the clothes he puts on there i totally would. Luckily we both got a love of flannel and cardigans and the guy has a love for canvas shoes and nice dress shoes and cool looking tennis shoes that may even exceed my own. Seriously, all i want for Christmas is a sweet pea coat, a new pair of brown dress shoes, and another bright colored cardigan to add to the collection. Anyways, check it out for yourself and just know that I would have created something just as cool that would look very similar if I could allocate the time to do it and muster up any motivation.<br /><br />http://www.iamdonald.com/this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-61725938313790868342011-11-06T01:22:00.007-06:002011-11-06T01:50:39.509-07:00Weird Celebrity CrushYeah, its probably time for another round of awkward celebrity crushes that I have. B-radley's blog is a judgement free zone, so don't judge me. You may remember posts of the past with such celebs as: Charlyne Yi, Leslie Mann, Chelsea Handler, and of course my very real crush on Lindsay Lohan. I want to make free Lindsay t-shirts but probably won't. <br /><br />Parker Posey:<br />You may know her from numerous Christopher Guest films like: Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration etc. You may know her from these ridiculous movies like Party Girl, Josie and the Pussy Cats, and Scream 3 (She played the film version of Courtney Cox's character Gail Weathers). Or you may have just seen her last year on one of my favorite episodes of Parks and Recreation. She is a riot, and kinda cute, am I right?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzh5KElklCCO69EYQtSbJE6eBV1jzkbMlgWT52JduZkQDdYewGzylQb68nJaDATezBXRXfloPhEHWle288oDS22PF4cye0xqENXLD9UkPFsUzAER-GmZqzsSgiAoFjMjMtjJBEup0Wegw/s1600/parker-posey.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzh5KElklCCO69EYQtSbJE6eBV1jzkbMlgWT52JduZkQDdYewGzylQb68nJaDATezBXRXfloPhEHWle288oDS22PF4cye0xqENXLD9UkPFsUzAER-GmZqzsSgiAoFjMjMtjJBEup0Wegw/s400/parker-posey.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671783816435824274" /></a><br /><br /><br />Sandra Oh:<br />You probably best know her from Grey's Anatomy where she plays the best character on that show, Cristina Yang. She has also been in a few movies where she was really great like Blind or a recent favorite of mine, Rabbit Hole. But it is her role as Yang that won me over<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDokW5E1y5_5pibGlPndp9Sdyzkiw38T34EKX447YDyDasMOpmJvcR5pSL9SA07d_AwogqNcsvaZDLP12aZHcPUnI6RiwAWwbAFAjSGZ9541ETbel-3vyytATSSnB-YyHSLJexKI2O5M/s1600/sandra_oh.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDokW5E1y5_5pibGlPndp9Sdyzkiw38T34EKX447YDyDasMOpmJvcR5pSL9SA07d_AwogqNcsvaZDLP12aZHcPUnI6RiwAWwbAFAjSGZ9541ETbel-3vyytATSSnB-YyHSLJexKI2O5M/s400/sandra_oh.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671796318355749106" /></a><br /><br /><br />Aubrey Plaza:<br />You probably know her from the hit show Parks and Recreation where she plays April Ludgate, the college intern turned assistant who is one of the best parts of the show. You should also check out her interviews on any late night show, she is so awkward it blows me away. She had me at awkward moment number 1. She was also in Funny People and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELo6kCbgWyaVnexT7utdgV4uI51d_fQMMtTZZeYjcGL_CyxDjR5Z3QmZjWyJxUspVrogR7kKPdd_ShWYiCNGogwoBN5MJ2B05fgdbpZt793Lk7-kctwPXVmgusVpbNbuo7vdFhbEp5iA/s1600/aubrey-plaza.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELo6kCbgWyaVnexT7utdgV4uI51d_fQMMtTZZeYjcGL_CyxDjR5Z3QmZjWyJxUspVrogR7kKPdd_ShWYiCNGogwoBN5MJ2B05fgdbpZt793Lk7-kctwPXVmgusVpbNbuo7vdFhbEp5iA/s400/aubrey-plaza.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671798631952563474" /></a><br /><br /><iframe width="400" height="233" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7Sv0WzaarrQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />or she has had a couple guest spots on Fred Armisan's Portlandia, in this awesome skit:<br /><br /><iframe width="400" height="233" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CYSBTjcppWg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Last but not least: Casey Wilson<br />You may know her from the show Happy Endings. If you are not watching this show you are missing out. Its on Wednesday nights right after Modern Family. You now no longer have an excuse because I know you are watching Modern Family. She also was on SNL for a year and had a small role in Julie and Julia and Killers. Her character Penny Heart is becoming one of my favorite characters on tv. I started watching this show to support Elisha Cuthbert because she is Jack Bauer's daughter, but Casey steals the show. I started watching on day 1 and haven't missed an episode since. She also has amazing shorts on Funny or Die .com. Which i will post for your viewing pleasure.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEj6phkXHrku1NK6OZbFN-M55CPCgsqvuMCEvMMGdgyzYFOerhUQMtko610zXJ7Cg9dAMK2ndORFjIp2YLCrVv3UHjjZMY9S44z7A7av_griYi41kViLRoEJEp2an6N5s-04X25tORre0/s1600/Casey+Wilson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEj6phkXHrku1NK6OZbFN-M55CPCgsqvuMCEvMMGdgyzYFOerhUQMtko610zXJ7Cg9dAMK2ndORFjIp2YLCrVv3UHjjZMY9S44z7A7av_griYi41kViLRoEJEp2an6N5s-04X25tORre0/s400/Casey+Wilson.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671801538926732898" /></a><br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/a71d4bb3a0" width="400" height="233" frameborder="0"></iframe><div style="text-align:left;font-size:x-small;margin-top:0;width:512px;"><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/a71d4bb3a0/black-best-friend-with-casey-wilson" title="from Funny Or Die, Casey Wilson, manasewitsch, whetzell, Betsy Koch, and BoTown Sound">Black Best Friend with Casey Wilson</a> from <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/caseywilson">Casey Wilson</a> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id=138711277798&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funnyordie.com%2Fvideos%2Fa71d4bb3a0%2Fblack-best-friend-with-casey-wilson&send=false&layout=button_count&width=150&show_faces=false&action=like&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:21px; vertical-align:middle;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /></div><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/b33e436350" width="400" height="233" frameborder="0"></iframe><div style="text-align:left;font-size:x-small;margin-top:0;width:512px;"><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/b33e436350/charla-loves-to-dance-with-casey-wilson" title="from Casey Wilson, Funny Or Die, and Ryan Perez">Charla Loves to Dance with Casey WIlson</a> from <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/caseywilson">Casey Wilson</a> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id=138711277798&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funnyordie.com%2Fvideos%2Fb33e436350%2Fcharla-loves-to-dance-with-casey-wilson&send=false&layout=button_count&width=150&show_faces=false&action=like&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:21px; vertical-align:middle;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /></div><br /><br />You're Welcome.<br /><br />Well there you go, that is it for this round of weird celebrity crushes.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-63364282101012709432011-10-23T21:23:00.003-06:002011-10-23T21:30:29.684-06:00So it turns out that......I am a 5 Star chef.

I feel like he did that intentionally for us, like McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning.. because he is pale and he would probably wanna be tanned.<br />- Eating fried pickles was a life changing experience.<br />- My first thought was: I don’t wanna clean this up. My second thought was: I just f*$%ed up dinner. My third thought was: What the f*&k am I gonna eat?<br />- Me & Jenni are terrified to go come back to the house, we just don’t want to deal with the drama… that WE caused.<br />- Snooki: I’m not white. JWOWW: What are you? Snooki: Tan.<br />- What I would love to find is a guido, juicehead with my style who’s not a cheater ’cause I’m not gonna go on Match.com again.<br />- I can’t read a map because I can’t see. Ron can’t read a map because you know, Ron’s Ron<br />- Jionni is very conservative sexually. Me I’m the total opposite I don’t give a f*&k what people think about me.

It deserves it. However, Mad Men will probably get it, because it is the most complex drama on television, an entire show based on character development. <br /><br />Outstanding Comedy Series<br /><br /> Big Bang Theory<br /><br /> Glee<br /><br /> Modern Family *<br /><br /> The Office<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Parks and Recreation</span><br /><br /> 30 Rock<br /><br />I really thing Parks deserves it this year. It was an amazing season. As someone who watches all of these shows every week, Parks n Rec is the funniest show on television. That said, Modern Family will prob win it.<br /><br /><br />Outstanding Actress in a Drama<br /><br /> Kathy Bates, Harry's Law<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Mireille Enos, The Killing</span><br /><br /> Mariska Hargitay, Law and Order: SVU<br /><br /> Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife *<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men</span><br /><br />I want Connie Britton to win so bad. But she probably won't. I really think Mireille Enos carried the awesome show The Killing. And Elisabeth Moss is my favorite character on Mad Men, and definitely deserves a win. But the awards show really loves Julianna Marguiles. I don't really watch the show so I can't comment. <br /><br /><br /><br />Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama<br /><br /> Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire<br /><br /> Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife<br /><br /> Christine Baranski, The Good Wife<br /><br /> Margo Martindale, Justified<br /><br /> Michelle Forbes, The Killing<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Christina Hendricks, Mad Men</span> *<br /><br />I think she deserves a win for playing the formidable Joan. And I think she will take it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Outstanding Actor in a Drama<br /><br /> Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights</span><br /><br /> Michael C. Hall, Dexter<br /><br /> John Hamm, Mad Men *<br /><br /> Hugh Laurie, House<br /><br /> Timothy Olyphant, Justified<br /><br /><br />Again, this is his last change to win and he derserves it. But John Hamm will prob win.<br /><br />Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama<br /><br /> Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones<br /><br /> Josh Charles, The Good Wife<br /><br /> Alan Cumming, The Good Wife<br /><br /> Walton Goggins, Justified<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">John Slattery, Mad Men</span> *<br /><br />I think it is a Mad Men season this year. He Should win.<br /><br /> Andrew Braugher, Men of a Certain Age<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Actress in a Comedy<br /><br /> Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie<br /><br /> Tina Fey, 30 Rock<br /><br /> Laura Linney, The Big C *<br /><br /> Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly<br /><br /> Martha Plimpton, Raising Hope<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation</span><br /><br />Amy should win. It is hard for me to take anything away from my girl Tina. But Amy was awesome in Parks. But Laura Linney won last year and my guess is she will win again.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy<br /><br /> Jane Lynch, Glee *<br /><br /> Betty White, Hot In Cleveland<br /><br /> Julie Bowen, Modern Family<br /><br /> Sofia Vergara, Modern Family<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live<br /><br /> Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock</span><br /><br />Jane Krakowski deserves to win. She has been amazing every year on 30 Rock. Kristin Wiig also deserves it for carrying SNL. But Jane Lynch will prob win.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Actor in a Comedy<br /><br /> Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock<br /><br /> Louis C.K., Louie<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Steve Carrell, The Office</span> *<br /><br /> Johnny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory<br /><br /> Matt LeBlanc, Episodes<br /><br /> Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory<br /><br />He has never won and this is his year.<br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy<br /><br /> Chris Colfer, Glee<br /><br /> Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family<br /><br /> Ed O'Neill, Modern Family<br /><br /> Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ty Burrell, Modern Family</span>*<br /><br /> Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men<br /><br />The best character on Modern Family. Phil Dunphee for the win.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Variety, Comedy Or Musical Series<br /><br /> The Colbert Report<br /><br /> Conan<br /><br /> The Daily Show With Jon Stewart *<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Late Night With Jimmy Fallon</span><br /><br /> Real Time With Bill Maher<br /><br /> Saturday Night Live<br /><br />I really think Jimmy has the most quality program improvement and should be rewarded. However, Jon Stewart wins every year and with good reason.<br /><br /><br /> Outstanding Reality Show<br /><br /> The Amazing Race *<br /><br /> American Idol<br /><br /> Dancing With the Stars<br /><br /> Project Runway<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">So You Think You Can Dance</span><br /><br /> Top Chef<br /><br />SYTCD is the best reality show on tv. I am surprised the Voice wasn't nominated. But Amazing Race always seems to win. <br /><br /><br />So these are my picks. I am tuning in now to watch. Just thought I would give my 2 cents.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-34988571094017015732011-09-11T22:39:00.002-06:002011-09-11T23:21:40.729-06:00GrossThat would be the one word to describe the last 6 days of my life. I had not one but 2 grandparents go in for surgery this week. Which sucks. It sucks even worse when you are 700 miles away and can't do ANYTHING. The only thing I could do is wait impatiently for text updates from my mom. If you know me then you know that I do not like to wait and if I have to do so, I cannot do it patiently. I don't know if it was that or a myriad of other things that led me to horrible bout of homesickness that basically lasted all weekend. There was nothing that I could do to get rid of it.......or probably better put, there was nothing that I really tried to do to get rid of it. I also somehow managed to hurt my knee while running this week too. Most people would take a few days off and let their knee rest............I am not really most people. I managed to convince myself that I could just run it off. I would be good for 1-2 miles, and then I would hobble another mile before I gave up. Then I would go lift weights and try to hit the treadmill again but would get a mile into it before I had to call it quits. Repeat everyday since Tuesday. FML. So I have basically avoided everyone and anyone all week while I wallowed in self pity and homesickness. I decided to change that with going to church for all 3 hours today. I think it helped a little. And then I just got back from a late night jog along the canal, which was cool. It felt good and the knee didn't really act up too bad, so maybe its getting better. Got a call from my mom saying my Grandma's surgery went well, she has to spend the night and if everything goes well she can come home tomorrow, to my Grandpa who is recovering from radiation and prostate surgery. Both seem to be on the mend and I am praying that they continue to get better. I have also decided to really focus on school and working out with the hopes that both of those things will get me out of this funk. <br /><br />Well if you have ever wanted a soundtrack to miserableness here has been mine:<br /><br /><iframe width="400" height="330" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ezGHapF8-lY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q8yLwuDi2mA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-GXwUCwiKnw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />There are more, but I just found out that Sister Act 2 is on tv right now........and that is what I will be doing for the next hour and a half. Sorry for the prolonged wait in blogging. I will try to be better.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-32961416572064418072011-08-10T03:11:00.003-06:002011-08-10T03:22:37.725-06:00So I am moving
<br />It is that time again. I am moving back to AZ. Really crazy. A big part of me wishes I could stay longer - another part is ready for a new adventure. I decided to move into my own apartment this go around, so that will be interesting. And I had to rent it site unseen, so this is going to be a big adventure. I looked at a few places before I moved back, and had a place that I wanted and had in mind, and like all things in my life, I waited too long and they didn't have any available. So I turned to what all people do when they are desperate: Craigslist. I found a cool place in scottsdale about 5 miles north of school. I am semi-familiar with the area, but have never driven past this complex. The inside has been renovated recently and looks cool.....at least from the pictures the realtor posted on CL. This will be my before post: meaning i will post the pictures that the realtor posted and then post pictures of what it actually looks like when i get there. She promised me that there will be no difference, and that the place doesn't smell like pee or smoke, and that it has been nicely taken care of and is super clean. This adventure is going to be CRAZY

But it is closed and in Salt Lake, so today I decided to try and find some recipes similar to my favorite types of cookies sold there and make them. And it turned out pretty awesome. The two types I made are similar to the Ricki (Cocanut dough with almonds coconuts and chocolate chips) and the Maris (Chocolate chocolate chip dough with a carmel center.) So found a recipe for a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with a carmel center and made it but added some pecans to the top of it. Turned out really good. The Ricki was a lot harder to find a recipe for, so I kind of invented one on my own by switching up the ingredients a bit on a standard nestle tollhouse recipe. I decided to make almond dough instead of coconut, which turned out sooooooooooooo good. I have never really made cookies before, so I was pretty impressed with the turnout.

Oops. Since my last post I finished finals, my first year of law school, packed up all my stuff in Arizona into a storage unit, packed up all my other stuff into my car and drove back home to Utah. This post will be a breakdown of all of those events and what I have been up to since I have been back home.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Finals</span><br />I had 4 finals each were 4 hours long and a 15 page memorandum to write. The memo was due first. We had to research court cases and argue whether or not warrantless GPS surveillance of a suspects vehicle is constitutional or not. It actually got pretty interesting to study. I did fairly decent on it, made a couple of stupid mistakes, but overall was pretty happy with the way it turned out.<br /><br />The first final was in criminal law. This was my favorite class of the semester, probably a combination of an interesting professor and awesome cases to read. I thought the test went well, but grades haven't been released yet so who knows. The next final was Administrative Law. I thought the final wasn't too bad. We had a midterm in that class and I did pretty well on it so I am hoping that the final goes the same way. Next final was Property Law. This final was miserable. Luckily everyone thought so. Basically we read almost 1200 pages worth of material and were tested on random things in those 1200 pages. Most other law schools divide the class into 2 semesters and make it a more manageable 600 pages worth of material. But ASU doesn't not do that and it makes for one biatch of a final. The last final was constitutional law. I think that this one went alright. It was the second hardest final, and I think that I did decent enough on it. Who knows though. In law school everything is graded on a curve. And not a curve that used to make your 82% into an A like in high school and undergrad. Instead the curve makes it so the top 10% are allowed to get an A on the test. So in theory and in my case a reality a 94% on a final paper can give you a B-. I really hate the curve.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1st year is donzo</span><br />I really can't believe that the first year of law school is finally over. It really is as hard as everyone makes it out to be. It is not fun, don't let anyone tell you it is, they are lying to try to trick you into going to law school. It requires a lot of hard work and a lot of dedicated effort. But I feel like I have learned a lot. And I know that it will all be worth it one day. And I am told that it does get better. I hope that is the case. Overall I have really liked my experience. Moving away from home to a new place has bee a really valuable experience, one I am glad I chose to do. I learned a lot about myself, made some really great changes in my life, and know that I am better because of it. Where I will be next semester?.......know knows.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Arizona State University</span><br />I took some pics my last day in AZ of the school, library, and the institute building that occupied so much of my time so you all could see where I was at.

I really do not mind the drive to and from Arizona. I took the scenic route from Phoenix to Flagstaff to Page, around Lake Powell, to Kanab through Cedar City canyon and then on to I-15 and back home to Farr West. My roadtrip with Tina Fey started in Flagstaff. I got her new book, Bossy Pants, in audio form and listened to it completely. When I didn't think I could love her any more, she goes and narrates this book and proves that I could, in fact, love her more. It is hilarious, offers some really interesting insight in to her life, what it was like to be a woman breaking into comedy, being the first female head writer on SNL, and then some insight on writing and producing 30 Rock. So entertaining. Made 6 hours of my trip really engaging. Also the drive is beautiful. Outside of Phoenix you get the real desert experience of nothing but rolling hills with cacti and sagebrush. Then you start to climb mountain on the way to Flagstaff. Flagstaff is super pretty too, you climb to about 7000 feet when you get there and you are surrounded by pine tree covered mountain peaks. It kind of reminds me a lot of Park City only a little bigger. Once you descend out of Flagstaff you go through wild flower covered meadows until you hit desert again and you circle around the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Then you have occasionally glimpses of the Colorado River and really pretty red rock plateaus until you hit Page, AZ. Then you go over Glenn Canyon damn and circle around Lake Powell. Then you go on to Kanab and see the Grand Staircase Then you can go and go to Panguitch or you can cut through Cedar City Canyon and take one of the prettiest drives in the whole state. If you haven't ever taken that pass you are missing out. It was all still covered in snow but super pretty. I saw an Elk and a ton of deer while driving through it. Which kept me awake. If you have never been on a roadtrip with me I have only one fear, and that is hitting a deer or some other large animal while driving. You come out of the canyon into Cedar City. Then you get on I-15 and head home, which normally isn't a pretty drive until you get to Nephi, but with all the rain, instead of everything being brown and dead it was all really green. Anyways, I left at 9am Arizona time, and pulled into my parent's driveway around 11:30pm. Traffic in Utah County was miserable. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Life As I Know It</span><br />Well I have been home for two weeks now. I have caught up on a lot of sleep. I am doing an internship for a attorney/friend of mine, got a job doing legal research for a health law attorney in Salt Lake, and am going to be getting another job at Lowes or The Buckle, depending on who will pay me more or maybe both, to earn some cash money for the summer. I have spent a lot of time with friends in both Salt Lake and O-Town, if I haven't seen you yet, call me. I have also spent some quality time with my nephew and niece, boy I have I missed those two. Also, My 4 year-old neighbor/best friend has been over almost every day to see if I could play or jump on the tramp. This kid kills me. I think me really getting started with my internship and my new job and working at either the Buck or Lowes is going to be hard for him.<br /><br />Anyways life is good. Glad to be where I am right now.

Second, stop it already until I can catch up. <br /><br />I find it weird that you are coming to me for advice on how to raise children, because I have none,* but since you obviously are by looking at this post. let me give you a little nugget of wisdom I learned from watching the Daily Show tonight. Raise your child the way I would have been raised if I would have been left in Asia, where obviously I may originally be from. It is called Tiger Mothering. <br /><br /><object width="400" height="255"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/ftIwEMAeJLZcEsv0Klh_WQ"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/ftIwEMAeJLZcEsv0Klh_WQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="270" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object><br /><br />*That I know of**<br /><br /><br />**Paternity test pending***<br /><br />***Alicia Keys is stallingthis guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-7567022271010930832011-04-25T00:53:00.002-06:002011-04-25T01:02:01.587-06:00AdeleOk, I know I have recently done a post about her a few weeks ago. But I have finals to study for, so you know that means I have basically lived on youtube for the past two days. What have I been watching? Adele, performing live. Man, she has pipes. No one can compete with her. <br /><br />Lately this song has been my fave:<br />Turning Tables<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3J4L4FP1WDY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Someone Like You<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QPh0AIMwwX0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Rolling in the Deep<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/m4KEt0c7LZI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Don't You Remember<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/20EXT1eEWvE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Adele's recent breakup led to her writing this CD. Does it make me a bad person to hope that her next relationship ends bitterly so we can get another gem like this? <br /><br />Also as a side note, I have heard she is coming to SLC this summer. If anyone wants to take me you can have my first born or something else, like a snickers bar.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-18742166889277197102011-04-24T23:29:00.003-06:002011-04-24T23:45:14.027-06:00Happy EasterSo, this was my first real holiday away from home since the mission. I am moving home in a few weeks so it didn't make any sense for me to go home. A friend of mine was going to come down here but couldn't end up making it. So I thought that I was going to go through my first family holiday as a family of 1. Yeah....it was every bit as depressing as that sounds......until one of my buddies at school invited me over for Easter dinner with him and his wife and some of our other friends from school and friends from their ward. It really turned out to be a lot of fun, great food, good conversation, and definitely filled up that gap that being away from home and family for the holiday left. I kind of felt like a grown up. Like I know that I am 26, but somehow being a student still, even though it is grad school, still makes me feel like I did when I was 21. And the fact that I am not married blah blah blah and all that stuff also does not bode well for the making me feel older thing. So, time away from home over Easter, having a gap filler with friends down here, makes me one step closer to being an adult, right?<br /><br />Anywho, Happy Easter, I hope that it was a good one for everyone!this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-53913457772932336092011-04-12T03:03:00.002-06:002011-04-12T03:10:20.809-06:00Perfect CouplesIf you don't watch this show, I recommend you get caught up on Hulu. It started off a little rough but mid season it found itself and now it is a perfect part of my Thursday night of television watching while I run at the gym or Friday at the library in between classes when I am "studying". Here is a clip to get you interested:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="270"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/B99tn16wcy88wRVwxZpchg"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/B99tn16wcy88wRVwxZpchg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="270" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498965989336991275.post-17440232507149105342011-04-10T03:16:00.003-06:002011-04-10T03:27:23.119-06:00ImpulsiveToday I realized that I may over react on impulses. I realized this when I started filling out an application to join the Peace Corps. It has always been a dream to serve in the Peace Corps. I really wish it wasn't a 2 year program. I really wish I didn't have the desire to have responsibilities like a real job as a practicing attorney and a family, or else I would be boarding a plane to Ghana or Thailand or Moldova or Samoa or Jordan or Costa Rica and be building farms and digging wells and teaching English or health and playing soccer with kiddos and teaching them tennis and baseball and basketball. I would be on a beach or in a jungle or wherever. Ahh......I should go to bed before I restart an application.this guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023147430874423816noreply@blogger.com2
