Utes vs Cougars 08

I guess we didn't really STORM the field. It was more like a nice little stroll once the crazies had all made it out of our way. Since this is just a stupid blog and I am past the days of living and dying by the success of my favorite sports teams, I won't do as I would have 5 years ago by ripping on the blue nation but I do think there were some REALLY COOL things that happened that night that I would like to relive a little here. That being said I am a Ute fan and somewhat of an anti-old stubborn dude BYU fan so I might get a couple jabs in here and there. Don't worry Y fans, If you're cool enough to be reading my blog I'm sure none of this will be directed at you.
1. Got my pic taken with Paul Kruger. This is actually the one i took for Tim, but it's a better picture so who cares. The kid walking into the picture tapped Kruger on the arm and asked him why he didnt take his interception to the house. Looking up at me and Timmy he shook his head in disgust and said "No kidding dude" (I have a hard time cheering for some types of football stars due to things I heard of happening at thier parties and among the athletic departments to cover those things up, but not for this dude. He's an RM who got his stomach sliced open by a thug with a knife while defending his loudmouth little brother who yelled something stupid. He also kicks butt)

2. The coolest part of the night was when the Y guys started doing the Haka before the game started and the home team stormed thier party and nearly caused a brawl. In my weeks at the MTC the Polynesian dudes would do the Haka almost every sunday night before thier homies left for thier first areas. There was a Hawaiin Elder in my district who got irked when his fellow Polys would teach it to thier whiteboy companions. I think the Polynesians on the U sideline may have had similar feelings as these, and since probably more than half the Hakateers at that game were pretty little whiteboys I must admit that it gave me pleasure to see it broken up. A lot of people are saying it was disrespectful for the Utes to do that but come on U.C., BYU stormed the field in the middle of Utah's senoir's night presentations which everyone could clearly see was pretty lame and immature. Anyway, there was an exciting spirit of hatred that made each play that much more fun to watch.

3. We won- Josh and I couldn't help but laugh to see Tim cheer. He wasn't cheering toward the field. Instead he turned around completely and cheered toward the various BYU fans behind us in the stadium. My personal favorite was when he started yelling "Yeah Baby! arent you glad you paid 200 bucks to watch this?!" (we overheard them before the game talking about how much it cost them). It's always fun to have to friends like that. Like 3 years ago I went to Cedar Point (awesome rollercoaster park in Ohio) with him, my sister and some other people. He had done extensive research on each ride and actually made us sprint to the entrance and to the first few rollercoasters.

4. I'm sorry Brian Johnsen. I thought you sort of sucked. You don't.

5. I'm sort of sorry Max Hall. You had me worried and I thought you were by far the better QB going into the game. You played very poorly, and I think if Bobby Anae had been smart he would have kept running it and it would have been a much closer game.

6. Austin Collie. I'm pretty annoyed that you are good because I don't like you, but yes, you are good.

7. BCS part 2. Looking over the season, I'd say we aren't as good as the 04 team. BUT, looking at individual quarters, and specifically that last game, I think we CAN be even better. So bring on anyone and lets see how we do.

okay thats enough.

4 people.

Ok that's actually more than I thought.

LaNae, I sort of thought you would be the only one. Good Job. Ashley, Sorry I bailed on the talent show idea. It's actually because I can't swim but was too ashamed to admit it on that group email. Marcey huh? Kind of a surprise... How the heck is Ogden treating you? Is that where you are? Derek- I think some of the better posts are earlier on. Somewhere back there you'll find an email from a disgruntled former date that I thought would be highly entertaining. I'll try to include more posts like that in the future. I actually have a semi recent mean email from another girl, but I can't post it untill she gets married or leaves the country or something.

That does remind me of a funny story from days back at Weber State. I was on my way back to the dirt pile parking lot across from Lynn Lecture Hall. I had had a tough day of spanish, racquetball and trig, and was not looking forward to a long night of helping old ladys do color copies for thier scrapbooks at my night job at the alphagraphics in west valley(ask me for a miracle). I was even more scared of girls then than I am now, so imagine my surprise and excitement to see a cute little note on my car as I approached the once crowded lot. It was on a pink 3"x5" card and I could see it was big cutesie girl handwriting in shiny purple ink. My mind raced to think what female it could have been from, or maybe it was a SECRET admirer. My heart beated in my chest and my face went red as I snatched it up discretely to read. "Learn how to park.... asshole" was all it said. I think I kept it for atleast 2 years.

Just a head count please.

I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog. Maybe my awesome sister LaNae sometimes. Hi LaNae. Except probably not even her after starting back up at work again this week. Anyway I'd be REALLY interested to see who actually checks in on this thing every once in a while... so please just leave a comment with your name. IF YOU DARE

Girls are mean.

yep.

Reasons why life is good (in no particular order)

a. It's Halloween time. Halloween is the most fun of all the holidays. It's hard to say it's the best because Christmas usually involves a lot more time off work and more meaningful reminders and stuff.... But Halloween allows you to act like an idiot which i do too much anyway, but on halloween i can be proud of it and not feel ashamed. This year my costume will likely be lame because I am putting most my extra holiday time into making a scary pinata. The original plan was to have it's various anatomical parts filled with fake blood, intestines, and brains, etc so when the party-goers finally break it they will hopefully be splashed in horrifying gore. I had it all figured out too, BUT i think that one might have to wait for a party at my own place so i dont stain the hosts' lavish furnishings.

b. The UTES are undefeated. Who knows if it will last the season with that offense sputtering through wins, but it is fun. I have season tickets this year with my 2 best friends and it has been a sweet sweet ride.

c. The NBA season tips off tonight for the Jazz.

d. The MPJH competitive men's league tips off for me on monday night. If you're a girl and I invite you to see me play, it most likely means I like you and want to use you to play better (I have twice the energy when I'm showing off)
related good news- My weak ankle has tightened back up quite a bit and hasnt been an issue this summer, althought it still snaps every other step.

e. The weather is awesome.

f. My car still runs (sort of)

g. I heard they are making a Ghostbusters 3.

d. I've noticed a few other people finally giving Karate Kid the much deserved praise that it merits.

e. I'm dirt poor and I don't care. You may think this isn't a good thing, but then think how bad off i'd be if I was dirt poor and DID care...

ok im sick of typing so i just need to think of one good last one to finish it off. hmmmm
oh I no longer have a cold! just a slight cough that lingers around from time to time. Was that good enough? probably not.

I have high hopes for my nephew.

Ok so it's been almost a month since I posted anything here. Usually I try to avoid posting lame ramblings that mean nothing to anyone but me. I especially try to avoid posting things that will expose me as dumb. I know someone who knows someone who constantly blogs about her shoes and tablecloths, oh yeah and also comments on TV shows. I saw her blog once and although i previously had no opinion on her, I now find her to be dumb. That being sad, since i have nothing really to talk about I will comment on those 3 things.

Shoes-I like shoes. Wilma says I have too many shoes. They are good for walking around and other activities that could possibly damage my toes or other foot areas.

Tablecloths- I've been sitting here for atleast 1 minute trying to think of something to do with them. I hope to have more to say on the subject at a later date.

TV shows. I expected the office to be bad again this season. I love all the seasons of the office except the last one. It was really bad to me. They came too far away from the normal redundancy of the workplace and suttle humor that made it so funny. They overdid almost all the characters making what were believable little quirks we can all relate to, into large character flaws or extreme behavior that took it out of the realm of relating to the viewers. If you don't believe this sacrelidge of which i speak go back and watch any episode last season.
The good news is last thursday was much better than last season and hopefully they bring it back to it's roots.

Other stuff that's going on

My parents' house is very very slowly being remodeled. i hope thier marriage survives the process. (im kidding. it will)

Ebony is immune to shock collars.

BYU fans are far less prevalent in the Aves than they were in Bountiful and I LOVE it. I havent had to hear a single person brag about them this whole season.

I offered my highly coveted guest ticket to Oregon State vs Utah tomorrow night to someone on sunday. This person has put me in pickle by answering "probably", but that they'd tell me for sure the next day. Now the game is tomorrow and it's still a maybe. Females, try to answer "yes" or "no" to social outings involving tickets. Males, take your Ute loving buddies to things like this, and try not to cast your crimson pearls before the neutral colored swine just because you aren't creative enough to think up a real date.

Ok thats about enough random banter for one afternoon.
