Essential food
Posted in Funnyon Jan 24, 2008
Today I was looking through a Safeway (grocery store) ad, and they had a little section in their multi-page ad titled,”Essentials.” I found some of the things there a little interesting. This is what Safeway considers essential:
- Goldfish Crackers
- Handi-Snacks Pudding Cups
- Boost Nutritional Energy Drink
I must be doing pretty bad because I’ve missed out on those essentials for quite a long time.

Review of Wendy’s in Fort Collins
Posted in Reviewson Dec 14, 2007
Wednesday night, I used the drive through at the Wendy’s at 3710 S College Ave. in Fort Collins, Colorado. Their service was too fast, which means they gave me food which was already sitting around, and when I looked at my Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, I found that the meat was exceptionally smaller than I’m use to.
I had also thought that they had forgotten to give me a spoon for my chili, but it turns out that I was dumb and just couldn’t find it.

Free calories
Posted in Generalon Oct 31, 2007
A friend of mine was recently eating some packaged cookies, and we noticed something odd about the nutritional facts. We noticed that the calories didn’t quite match up.
Notice how there are two cookies per package, and that each cookie has 170 calories. 2 cookies per package times 170 calories per cookie equals 340 calories per package. But the package shows that there are 350 calories per package. So where are these extra 10 calories coming from?
You will see a similar error when you look at calories from fat.

I am starting to get tired of the cold. I dream of the days where it isn’t below freezing.
I ate four peanut butter and honey sandwiches today.
BYU basketball plays in The Pit Wednesday night and I hope they win.
I like sleep. I like getting a lot of it.

Last day of classes
Posted in Lifeon Dec 1, 2006
Today is the last day of classes for me. After my physics lecture tomorrow, all I have left to do is take my physics final exam on the 7th. This is the first December in about 4 or 5 years where I haven’t been completely stressed out. I’m excited too because I actually feel like I can relax a bit and enjoy the Christmas spirit.
I really don’t like going to wedding receptions. All the old people keep poking me and saying “You’re next,” as if that meant anything. Maybe I should start going to funerals and poking the old people saying, “You’re next.” I swore that the next wedding reception I would go to would be my own (I thought that would get me out of having to go to them for a long time). But tomorrow (which is actually later today) I’m going against my previously stated convictions and I’m going to one. The main reason is because I want to see friends who will be there that I otherwise would be unable to see.
Are people with freckles at higher risk for skin cancer?
Am I really ready to subject myself to extreme mental and social pressures again? Am I ready to go back to Provo? Maybe the question I should be asking inquires if Provo is ready for me.
Do any of my friends need a color ink jet printer? I have a brand new in box printer (Epson C86) that I have little use for and I’m wondering what I should do with it.
I made crepes last night for dinner. I made my usual recipe and a recipe out of my mom’s weight loss recipe book, and I could hardly tell the difference. Living at home has caused me to eat healthier, mainly because I have more time to cook, and more foods available.
I don’t know that I’ve ever told this story on my blog, but at the beginning of the term there was new student convocation where the Portland State president and some other people wanted to give some general pep talks and a few other things like that. But unlike BYU, Portland State’s convocation isn’t a part of their orientation program, so it wasn’t very well attended. To help motivate people to come, they advertised a bunch of door prizes and such. Well, the morning of convocation, my alarm went off and I was debating with myself about whether or not it was actually worth getting out of bed to go, and I decided that all I would get done is some extra sleep if I stayed home, so I went, and I sat through their boring speeches and stuff, and then they did the drawings for the door prizes and I won! I got a $250 gift card to the book store. The problem is that I’m only at PSU for a semester, so it isn’t like I needed a lot of books from the bookstore, so in addition to the one book I had to buy, I bought myself an iPod. Now I still have a little bit left over, and I’m trying to decide what I should buy. I’m thinking about a sweatshirt that says Portland State or something like that. Maybe I’ll also buy some general school supplies since those are always good.

Masticated words; remember to swallow
Posted in Lifeon Nov 17, 2006
It stopped raining today. It was so great that I opened the window. But you really don’t care about the weather here, do you?
I made my pie, and I’ve eaten most of it. I’m not generally a calorie counter, but I figure as long as I don’t eat more than half of the pie in a day, I’ll live.
I accidentally fell asleep early last night. I was going to take a quick nap before the eight o’clock television hour, but I ended up sleeping through until midnight. So what do you do when you wake up at midnight? I read some blogs and went back to bed, although I didn’t sleep very well, but it didn’t bother me. For most of the night I felt like I was just kind of floating on day dreams, but during the night. That didn’t make sense, but oh, well, swallow. Sad thing is that I slept in this morning too.
Jennifer once told me that punctuation is an art and something to be passionate about. I’m not sure if I’m passionate about it, but I do think it is an art. Following the metaphor, my punctuation is like throwing cans of paint at a wall.
Why do all bombs on the TV shows have wires where if you cut the right colored wire it disarms the device? I bet that in real life it doesn’t work that way.
Is spirit matter? It doesn’t seem to be a solid, liquid, or gas. Maybe the type of matter of which spirit is composed exists in an alternate dimension, meaning, not height, width, nor depth, but spirit. Scientists claim there are at least 11 dimensions, maybe spirit is one of them.
Having been reading many blogs recently, I think I observe a trend of frustration and stress. I think this might be due to the fact that many are working hard at school in a stretch of hard work right before the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m kind of stressed out too. But I think that if we all spend a moment to think of one or two of the things we enjoy, and then do those things, then we can see a reprieve in the rains and storms that come out ways.
Someone told me they loved me the other day. Well, actually, they just wrote it and I read it. I’m pretty sure they were meaning the kind of friendly platonic sort of love, but it felt good anyway.
Change is a funny thing. I mean, sometimes we grow up in life expecting things to be a certain way when we are a certain age. And then we reach that age, and it isn’t what we thought it would be like. Do we give up our dream and follow some more practical ideology, or do we continue to follow our dreams trusting that we will someday grasp them?
Ah, my heart doth ache for that which doth not disappoint.
