top ten reasons WWI vets should support Amendment 4 and snowboard with the boys

i'm on this kick now where i like posting other people's crap on my blog. maybe that's because not much is going down in my little life right now. its just another week. getting really excited for the holidays though. i think this weekend if i have time i'll start bustin out the x-mas crap for the house. and my work's annual x-mas party is coming up but guess who is not going? its so freaking gay. if you go, you are required to bring a gift for every person that goes. who does that? they know how much money i'm making and i know that the cops don't make that much more than i. hopefully i'll be in CO by then anyways. someone gave me the idea of having a crazy guys day out snow boarding once i get to colorado with me, tom, ryan, dustin, and jeramie. sounds a little sketchy that it would ever happen, but boy would it be fun. its soooo freaking cold today, but never fear! today i busted out my new jacket and all is well. so i'm pretty much just rambling now, so i guess i'll get on with other people's material since i'm so boring.

there is usually a top ten list in my school paper, however this one i thought was really funny:
Top Ten reasons why no one shows up to UVSC sports.

10. UVSC has sports teams?
9. The mascot is the freakish love child of a demented bear and a rat.
8. Ethics and Values sucked the will to care about anything anymore right out of us.
7. Michael Moore's gone, now we can go back to not giving a damn about anything again.
6. Because our sports teams play about as well as life editor Alicia Lee does at top ten lists.
5. Friday nights are for cruising the hall-o-flags and dragging state.
4. I'd rather be a Coug.
3. No black people in the state.
2. I don't have $2... oh... it's free?
1. Our football team sucks.
its funnier i'm sure to in-state peeps, but just know that coug=cougars=byu and uvsc doesn't have a football team. next...
Now, Amendment 4

Now that we have successfully protected the sanctity of marriage with Amendment 3, it is imperative that we continue this effort by getting hard to work on Amendment 4.

This would ban divorce, criminalize adultery and pre-marital sex, prohibit those already divorced from remarrying and impose a sin tax on those who have children with more than one person.

After all, shouldn't we do everything we can to protect marriage as we've always know it?

Park City
gotta love those park city peeps. that's why i'm gonna live there one day. i wonder if i ever mentioned the fact that with every newspaper i get, i always look through the obituaries to see if there are any WWI vets that have died. it is so extremely rare but i almost found one today. some guy born in '02, but all he did during the war was sell liberty bonds and got some award from the government. i read somewhere that thousands died everyday, but i haven't seen any here in utah. its kinda weird to think that there are still some alive today, but in ten years there will be no one alive that was in WWI. what is even weirder is that i can see peeps in the obituary from WWI, those people during WWI could see peeps in the obituary from the Civil War, and those from the Civil War could see people that, not necessarily were in the Revolutionary War, but lived during it. our little nation really isn't that old i guess. tomorrow morning i'm gonna see a movie so long as i get up in time. can't wait!

So, when I wrote my plans for Amendment 4, I got a call from some kook who wanted to help me get the measure on our next ballot.

man it took me a long time to find this post that you commented on. this was forever ago. glad you found it and i'm glad you wrote what you did back then. it's always nice to know that there are still utahans out there that aren't so narrow-minded like so many i've met. it's funny because as i'm writing this, ac360 on cnn is doing its entire show on flds and polygamy. we certainly live in a special state.
