Lazy mans tag

I am: 30. I'm really going for originality on this one.


I know: the difference between molarity and normality. (It's the second definition for molarity and the fifth for normality)


I want: I don't know, maybe a hundred billion dollars. Yeah that'd do it.


I have: the best kids ever! So suck it!


I dislike: hmm, it'd be a whole post just putting the list down. Lets go with underpants gnomes.


I miss: the college days. I'm with Nat on this one. The thing that made the college days so awesome was that we had adult-esque freedom without the burden of mortgages and other things like that. Plus college is sweet action, learning new things, meeting new people all that good stuff. It makes me wonder why they make so many TV shows about high school, when they ought to make them about college kids.


I feel: like the Idaho winter is entirely too long. I mean come on, 10 months? Whats up with that? Although it does make my job easier.


I hear: this new song that I saw on Saturday Night Live the other day. Watch this video. Its not my usual thing, so I was somewhat surprised when I found out I was really feeling it.





I smell: donuts. Its good times.


I crave: escapism. Not so much from being with Nat and the kids but from the rest of it. You work and associated crap.


I cry: infrequently. I think the last time I even came close was when Ivy was born. I get pretty emotional about the kids. Like the time that the doctor was putting stitches in Jakob's forehead, it was a good thing I didnt have a baseball bat :). Needless to say I was a bit emotional. Last weekend Brock was feeling kind of crappy and they set some fireworks off at Bonneville High and it scared him. I got a bit emotional over his fearful pleas. I kept it on the down low though. Nat likes to tease me about it.


I search: constantly for new shows to watch. I pretty much ask people what they watch, read about it on wikipedia to see if I'll like it and then download a couple episodes. Thats how we got hooked on House, Grey's and many others.


I wonder: when the world is going to end as we know it? Oh yeah, the election is in a couple weeks and we're screwed either way.


I regret: nothing I will reveal here. On a related note I pretty much try to live life without finding things to regret. That is pretty much what drove me to chase after Nat for so long. I have kids though, and there is ample to regret when trying to be a good parent.


I love: wrestling with the boys. People I work with say it is a good way to wear the kids out before bed. But I know that is impossible. Could I possibly ever have more energy than Jakob? I mean come on the kid uses a complex process of fission and fusion to power his entire body of two bites of a hot dog. That reminded me of the day I went over to the schools track and ran a mile. I was huffing and puffing the whole time and ready to kill myself. Jakob ran it with me, chattering the whole time. Yeah not only did he do it, he did it while talking. I don't even know if he got winded. Oh yeah and on an unrelated note, I love Nat too.


I care:? I....I....care? I care? I CARE! Name that movie Kar. We used to do that on my mission a lot, but with pretty heavy sarcasm. It was usually a tactic we used when someone was getting overly optimistic about something. That kind of thing happens a lot on the mission. I think some people forget that God doesn't force people to the Gospel. Now you can leave me comments on my blasphemy I guess, but I'm sticking with my original point.

I worry: occasionally. I'm the type of person to go out and try and hedge my bets on things. About the only thing you cant plan for is things like natural disasters and what not. You can do some things but you never know. I guess I worry about America ceasing to exist as it does now and things getting all post apocalyptic and stuff, like Will Smith in I am Legend. Whenever I see those movies the first thing I always think of is “How much food does he have? Is he growing more? Where is he getting clean potable water from?” Stuff like that. For some reason characters in movies always still have utilities. This has always struck me as weird because those would be like some of the first things to go. Oh yeah I also worry that my kids wont grow up to accept the Gospel. Or that they'll become jobless hippies mooching off the government when they are adults. Yeah stuff like that gets me thinking.


I remember: why people do these tags. Man so much easier than coming up with stuff especially when you realize that real life is pretty much boring. Some people don't need it though, Nat for example could probably pull a totally entertaining post out of thin air about the time she got a dryer sheet stuck to her pant leg. No offense to frequent taggers of course, its a nice break.


I dance: when the boys and I are listening to music and the overwhelming urge to bust out the robot overtakes me.


I don't: say whats on my mind as much as people think I do. I think if that were the case people would upgrade me from insensitive jerk to @$$hole.


I argue: with a lot of people a lot of the time. It's kind of my job as a member of the safety staff. Most people don't look at us as the good guys, but how is it in my best interests to let people get hurt at work?


I write: because I am compelled to do so. The stories come into my brain and I have to expel them. That sounded a lot like a possession in need of an exorcism.... (This was also a shameless plug)


I win: here and there. My dad however wins all the time. Dont ever enter a drawing with him, he's bound to win something. I think he's the luckiest man alive when it comes to that. Good thing he's LDS or he'd be cleaning out the lotteries.


I lose: my mind when working with inanimate objects. Like when I was putting the blinds up upstairs (or attempting to) when we first moved in. Yeah two hours of being angry and not even getting one up before I called my bro Mike who came over and installed the rest of them in like a half hour or something. I'm not handy. Not even in the least. Ask me how your body uses Oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor and we can really get into it hot and heavy. Ask me to change a tire and be prepared to hear profanity.


I wish: I had Supermans' powers. I mean who doesn't? I'd quit my job and start a delivery service guaranteeing really fast delivery. I mean like so fast I can turn the world backwards fast. The strength, invulnerability, super hearing, heat vision and freezing breath would also be sweet.


I listen: to this and that. I kind of miss the good old days of grunge in the 90's though. 80's music was pretty good too. There are still things here and there that pop up that I end up liking. According to my current iTunes my top five played songs are: No One's Gonna Love You by Band of Horses, Cold Shouder by ADELE, Time Won't Let Me Go by The Bravery, Realize by Colbie Caillat, and Look After You by The Fray.


I can usually be found: in the respirator trailer at work. Or the RMU.


I am scared: of cancer, high places, open spaces like the open sea or outer space, enclosed places, losing my job, having Nat divorce me or one of my children dying. You know the usual.


I need: more time to sleep. Why can't I have like twelve hours to do whatever I want on top of the usual thirteen hours a day I spend going to work, working and coming home from work. Oh yeah and throw eight hours of sleep on there, so that gives us a 33 hour day. Sweet action.

I forget: here and there. I have a pretty good memory and rarely forget things. Sometimes I play dumb though when people ask me to do things I dont want to and claim to have forgotten it. Yeah thats a lie. Good old passive aggressive tactics :).


I am happy: on like a Friday night when I am either playing WoW really later or watching shows with Nat and all the cares of the world slip away cuz I still have two days until I have to work again. I think thats what I miss most about college. There wasn't a whole lot to get all worked up about except finals.I tag: nobody. Everyone I know who blogs has already done this one!

B...you are hilarious. And, I love watching you with your kids...its like the coolest thing ever. I'd say that about all my brothers. Its the weirdest/coolest thing watching all you with your kids and your families. Any way...that was random...but yeah, I have another story I'm working on for you to check out...I'm going to write part of it up and send it to you!

Nat said...

I like that new song, too. And you do have the best kids ever! And I don't tease you about getting emotional about the kids; actually, I think it's really sweet, and I'm just mostly amazed. And I love you, too! You rock!

Mike said...

The Adele song totally rocked for the first few days, then I got a little sick of it. Great song all in all.

So, I was bored tonight and I decided to swing by your blog and just see if maybe Google Reader was lying to me and you HAD posted something new...oh, but no. I wouldn't be that lucky.

Um, sorry I'm a month late in commenting. Sigh. I cannot get a hang of having three kids. Seriously. Nat is Superwoman to cope with four kids. Or maybe your kids are a lot less high-maintenance than mine. :) So, um, my guess on the movie is that Care Bears movie? I don't know. I hope you're feeling better. We'll see you in a few hours!
