The "Lame Duck" Brigham

I'm a "lame duck." Stuck in a two month period of waiting, wishing, and anticipating a long awaited departure into the land of rice and humidity.  Because unlike The Best Two Years I wont be spending it with tulips and stroopwafels, but with the humple Filipino people with their rice fields coupled with half formed chicken embreo's cooked to perfection.  It's really only been one day, but I still feel as though I might go mad if I don't find something to occupy my time.  I did make a list of things I would like to accomplish consisting of  things like beating Skyward Sword, reading The Huger Games, (Yes this is my first time reading them, surprising I know), making a work out schedule and actually following it, even getting a girl friend.  But we all know how thats going to end up, especially the latter.  I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm going to use this time to get really good and the guitar, get really ripped, or read a ton of books, because things like this take a tremendous amount of will power, something I have realized a lack dearly.  Such tantalizing things as White Collar, and The office take my will power crush it into a thousand particles and immediately transmits it through the Television, thanks a lot Netflix. But as I think about my day today and of how it consisted  of 3 episodes of The Office, Emma (the old one, I plan on watching the 4 hour vision some time in the future), and a trip to Walmart with my Mom, I think to my self that I might, out sheer bordum actually develop some sort of will power and accomplish something in this treacherous "lame duck" period.  I've even thought about taking up Yoga in the mornings and if that isn't enough for you I may or may not develop an obsession with One Direction, and Downton Abbey.  Only time will tell where my inconsistent will is going to take me.

If it were up to me these two months would be full of entertainment and simply floating on a whim day to day, of course this is after extensive studies of the Book of mormon and preach my gosspel, but still completely stuffed with entertainment.  Apparently my Mom thinks that I'm doing yard work for her and everyone else in the 20th ward.  This is a dreadful thought indeed.  Yeah, it didn't make the list of things to do during this two month period.  I don't know if she knows this, but I'm going to be serving for TWO YEARS excuse me WORKING for two years, which will probably entail some manual labor.  Can't I just have some time for myself? After all I have my whole life to do yard work.  However, she might be right.  Unfortunately I need income and right now that seems like the only option.  Temp work is hard to find and I bet the neighbors would pay pretty decent wages. But that doesn't hide the fact that it's freaking yard work!  I guess you just have to do what you gotta do.  

Fortunately I  got to spend this last week in St. George, chillin' with my brother and Mr. Taylor Davies.  It was so relaxing, spending time in the pool; going to Zion's and hiking angels landing; eating out, we had some great thai food; going to the sand dunes, playing Frisbee, and making ourselves into sand mermaids; and just watching movies.  It was just fan- freaking - tastic!  Also there is this place down there called Swig and they sell drinks and slushies, but they had this dirty Dr Pepper with cocoanut in it, it was AMAZING!  They even had steller sugar cookies, anyway I'm rambling.  It was just good to have a vacation after finals and stuff.  I kinda had to recover.  

A week isn't really a long time, but it seems like I've been away from school for longer than that.  And I'm kinda put out about it.  The fact is I'm getting kinda dorm sick.  I really miss my beloved Broadbent and all my brotha's. The beautiful Penrose and Horne, I especially miss, they were just. . . I just them all.  I just get to thinking about how time just goes and it wont stop for one bloody moment, just so I can stop and think or rest me eyes,  the train just laughs as it hurdles me through life.  I know it may be cheesy or whatever, but I think I really understand now why so many people sing about life and time, and how they just can't even seem to be able to do what they want to do or understand how life can pass so quickly.  I'm just glad I have the gosspel of Jesus Christ in my life, it points me in the right direction, it doesn't make it easier in fact it might even make it a lot harder, but  at least we know where to go.   What I really want to say is that I'm just grateful for everyone that was in my freshman ward and everyone I got to know.  You all were amazing friends to me and I love you all!  Don't anyone of you loose touch, but thats why we have facebook so don't delete me, I will find you.   

So, I guess thats my blog.  I'm kinda new to this whole thing so don't critic my rhetoric to harshly, after all I'm only at a B- rang according to my writing 150 grade.  Hopefully I can improve that a little bit by writing this blog, which I probably should have done before, could have given myself a B.  But, what are going to do?  Whats done is done.  So, hopefully this will occupy some of my time and you all can just here me rant about whatever, but I guess thats what blogs are haha.  So in tell the next time I blog, next week, in a couple of days or maybe even tomorrow --Peace!
