And it was the moment I saw 'Tall, Dark and Handsome'! Day 8.

A moment.

My day has been incredibly eventful from sharing the fact of the poor quality of teaching my english professor has, to watching a large carpet rug being twirled on one hand, being taken to Africa, to seeing that one who was 'Tall, Dark, and Handsome'.

This one was filled with something that filled me with surprise, and gave me so much energy to laugh and act silly.

Practically like consuming liquid sugar!

No, no boy in my life do not fret.

Yes. Tonight I was introduced to Apple Beer.

'Twas a exciting moment!

Bahahahahahahaha!!!

(Yup, still on that sugar high!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I hope I fooled you. I thought it was incredibly mischievous.

And it is time for... day 7 – Your best friend .

Yes, I have been procrastinating this post all day.

No, as much as I have thought about this I have no simple answer.

.....

I was so ready for a post that I would not ramble and would have better relevance.

I will have to wait longer.

My best friends are my Savior, my family and a few select close friends.

I do not have just one.

And that makes me extremely fortunate.

And this is my day. In too many words. A.K.A. Day 6

Today is Saturday the 26th of February, and has been quite eventful.

12:00 AM, I listened to my roommates discuss important, in-depth, things to us in this current stage of life. I quite enjoyed being able to listen to help me understand them better. I also learned a few small things about and applicable to my life. Soon after I was too tired to think straight much at all, and finally allowed myself to rest.

6:28 AM I wondered what could was making such a racket. Turns out I had been very smart to turn the noise on for my phone so that I would get up! Yes, I figure you may question why I would be getting out of bed this early on a Saturday morning, so I will explain. Doughnuts. On sale. Need you know more? Early morning special for glazed doughnuts and I am so blessed to have friends who give me this information and help me take advantage of it!

7:00 AM Leaving.

7:~~ AM -> Raid of the doughnuts! And chocolate milk... and some of the most wonderful roll dough in existence, but with cinnamon bits :) My companions raided the rest of the store, and the $2 breakfast that was being served.

9:15 AM Arrived at the homestead. It was snowing outside in a flurry-like way. I ate another doughnut or... two... ect.

Shortly after 10:00 AM I was slightly regretting the "ect." Oi. 
I also began contemplating arguable points. Mostly in effect of yesterdays post. What is it to "like"? What is it to "love"? Thorough my life I have always found it frustrating to be asked the question of if I 'like' someone. Really? Come on! That is so biased of a question. In addition this question cannot be answered in a direct manner. I have rarely come to a conclusion where I can honestly say 'yes' or 'no' without some exceptions that counteract the straight answer. So many things I say seem to have an asterisk at the end. There is so much additional information and there are so many exceptions that, as I mentioned before, make it feel almost impossible to give a direct and absolute answer. This, though it is fairly repetitive, is a small portion of my thoughts on the subject and it seems so poorly portrayed but it is what I can do. I was thinking about such complicated things for a while, but this seems to be the one that I remember.


10:30ish AM Party in the kitchen.
11:15ish AM Party gone, but I am on my computer looking at pictures! I went through so many!


12:30 PM I decided it was nap time. What did I do? facebook. Surprise surprise. Nobody posted anything in the whole hour plus I was on. Lame.


 1:30 PM Nap time. For real. Zzzzzzzz
6:30 PM I decided I was hungry. More hungry than sleepy. Oh yea, it was snowing.
7:20 PM I choose to post on my blog.

And to conclude my day I would like to say that sleep would be a most delicious food.

And They Call It Love. Day 5.

Define Love.

<3

Umm... Say what!?

It seems a little unusual and strange to come up with such a 

definition to share with those of the world that may come across this. 

I would like to express myself as accurately as possible but must use the 

ideas of others to assist me in this venture.

Doing some consulting with dictionaries, I have come to a conclusion of sorts.

Love is multi-faceted.

There is not one meaning in existence (to my knowledge) that could 

accurately define love in every situation. I think it is nearly impossible to say 

to someone that you love them and have them understand 

exactly what you intend.

<3 Def. 2 of Webster says Love: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.

I have found that using this definition is inaccurate to suggest in most cases 

without a great deal of explanation because really, who could be much more 

accurate in wording than a dictionary!?

<3 Def. 3 says Love: (a) The object of attachment, devotion, or admiration 

(b) a beloved person

I think the first is quite self explanatory, but the second... what is beloved? 

I found it could be defined as to be dearly loved. Someone who is precious.

<3 Def. 4 states that Love is unselfish loyal and benevolent 

concern for the good of another.

I think that this is an incredibly apt description of Christs' love. 

Again, (because I have at least thought it before) I 

must state that this is slightly awkward to bring up my religious beliefs. 

The problem is that I cannot think of anything else of my experience to

 share how I feel about this definition. Because of my experiences throughout 

my life, this definition is important to me. The difficult thing is 

to explain why, of which I cannot yet do.

Anywho...

The definition of sorts that you may have all been expecting!

<3 Def. 1 Love: (a) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal 

ties (b) affection and tenderness felt by lovers (c) affection based 

on admiration, benevolence, or common interests

Somehow all of these work! Crazy thing though... there are more that would work.

And on that thought I hope to complete this post... its so long already.

<3

And the topic of the 4th day goes to....

"What you ate today"

What did I eat today?

As you can see... there is little evidence of what there is to tell you!

I am going out to eat tonight though!

OoOoOo!

I hope it will be yummy and I can eat most of it!

Today is too good to waste. I decided that this morning even though I did not have 

any idea of what it had in store for me. I got up, attempted to look exceptional, 

and then decided to be treated to dinner elsewhere :) I am excited. My professors

 are in tune with my idea I think... today has been that good!

And that is... was... the end of that!

And this will be the 3 of the days.

For my post today, I think, that even though it is slightly awkward, 

I will give a brief bit of my parents as was suggested.

----------------------------------------

My dad. The hard worker with one of the most wonderful smiles :)

My step-mom, We just have too much fun Playin'!

And because I could not find a satisfactory picture of 

my mom, I thought this beautiful flower would 

be appropriate. Because she is not with me for this life, I am ok 

remembering that she was simply beautiful.

Plus, I took this picture at a Temple Open House, adding to how special it is to me.

-------------------------------------------

I love all these people so very much and am so blessed to have them in my life.

That may be weird to everyone else to read knowing that 

my mom passed away, but I cannot deny that I feel her 

helping me time to time and see how she has helped me
now from while we were together.

And who could have parents better suited?

And this I shall name the name of the 'Second Day', but not of the week.

Because you will likely will have to look for it, I thought 

it looked like a heart, So I took a picture.

So, a few people may be curious to 

what my first love is... or was... or just 'the' first love I had.

I am curious to know this also.

I will save you all your vexation to tell 

you that I have no person to be, or who is, my 'first love'.

So far.

Now that I have that out of the way, I can 

mention some alternate possibilities.

They could be:

My family.

My church.

My understanding.

My appreciation of friends.

My knowing how to work.

My playing in the mud (but only when getting paid).

If there are more, I will not be going to entertain 

you with those things now. I just don't feel like it.

And I once again, do not end.

And I start... again.

I am Jamie, a person who feels confused of what the 

exact purpose of a blog is, but is giving it a shot.

Now, now, don't get too overcome.

Light travels faster than sound, thats why 

some people appear to be smart until you hear them speak.

I like:

Funny Moments in life. This was a handicapped 

parking spot. The blue sign said so.

The Ninjas of Where's Waldo.

To play on the assumptions of silly people.

You fell for it!

Because you may have assumed too

 quickly, I should inform you that I am not an alcoholic 

and have no intentions of consuming any alcoholic beverage.

Picturesque views.

Intriguing architecture.

This picture.

And to not finish again...

And many other things.

And what is there to blog?

Perhaps I will try some of the things that have been recommended to try in a blog. 
Quite likely they will not be in the order recommended... but... ha! Who of 'they' said I had to!

And I will ty to do this. We will see how I did in 30 days!

And so it goes...

It is so strange to think that this moment in time that I am enjoying here on my computer will be such a thing of the past and now I have this very moment to share with any and all who wish to care to read this!

Too often I wish to give some inspirational thought that I can credit to my own but... Nope.

One would come in handy right now.

Let me tell you a story to pass the time that I wish to pass some incredible wisdom that has no wisdom, its just a story.

My roommates, the adventurous people that they are, decided to start their own blogs. Why they decided to do this, I am not sure, but they did. Guess who did not? You may think that I had another roommate that was rebellious, but you would be wrong to suppose so. I was the one who did not. So, after quite some time of reading their blogs, last night it occurred to me that perhaps I would start one. Did I? Nope. I waited until some short time ago before I would give myself a chance to talk myself out of it. Now, I am composing my first blog post, and the story ends.

How ironic. This is not the end of the story. As I said before, this time will be a thing of the past, and so it goes.

And perhaps I will make an additional post later, when I am supposed to be 

doing my homework. ;)
