My Childhood

So, I totally put this on my Facebook, but I really felt like elaborating here.

With the help of my good friend Jon, I was able to download Zelda: The Ocarina of Time on my Wii.
Ok, this game was probably the favorite one of my entire youth. I remember playing this and FFX late into the night, probably one of my favorite video gaming memories was one night at about 2 AM I was in the basement running through the Gerudo Desert while listening to Desert Rose by Sting on the radio (the sound was off on the TV so as not to disturb anyone). I was probably between 10 and 16. Now anytime I hear that song I think of that dark basement and that night playing that game.

kinda weird, but I spent my days being social and my nights being a nerd.

The beat of my slowly failing heart

so,
over the last few weeks, the only thing that keeps me sane is the constant knowledge that I will be able to play about 6 hours of rockband per week...
this is sad you say?
well, I'd rather play rock band twice a week and be sane than the alternative.
you say that you are insane to play that much rockband?

no, my friend, YOU are the one that is insane for thinking that.

Rock The Homework!!!

I woke up this morning with no intention of finishing all my homework, due to the fact that I procrastinated it all weekend . . .  and then, I woke up this morning (later than I should have) and got it done!  (I'll admit I didn't do all my reading, but I got the important stuff!)

So, for once procrastination paid!!! I got to do everything I wanted this weekend and still got all my homework done before class with minimal stress! Who says procrastination can't pay off?

Fin.

oh, and those are the Rocky Mountains?!?!? That John Denver is full of crap!!!!!!

Mission: Limited

My little brother gets home from his mission in less than 2 weeks now, and until this morning, I didn't really quite grasp the concept in my head.  I knew he was coming, but when I thought about it this morning, I realized that he will be HOME!

For those who don't quite understand what that means, I have 2 brothers (right now they are 21 and 13) and we are all really close, but there is really no one alive that I have been closer to for longer than my little brother (Tyler).  We grew up traveling the country with our parents, and so with no other permanent friends, we had to stick together; even when we settled down in our quaint little town of Riverton, we were still really close as our social circles expanded; maybe to the point of being a little weird to see a senior hanging out with his sophomore brother all the time or a sophomore going to all the senior parties and stuff (but hey that was how we rolled).  

For the first time this morning, I grasped the concept that He will be around again and we can do stuff together, which reminded me that he actually has been gone for 2 years... (sad that it really didn't feel that long for me, and I am not just saying that because it is almost over...) 

So if you see me giddy with excitement in the next few weeks, there are many contributing factors, but a main one is this MY BROTHER IS GETTING HOME FROM ITALY!!!!!!!!!!
