My wife was looking at the class of 95 blog the day that the news about Fred Young was posted. She asked me if I knew him and I just replied, "of course". I think I asked if he had a blog and then she told me that he had been killed in a car crash with his future wife by a piece of crap drunk. I could not believe it! I know that a lot of people saw that news, read it and then just thought, "huh, that is too bad".
There are two people I respect more than any other people that I have ever met. One is a guy I used to work with that had come full circle from a life of major drug abuse, addiction, distribution and a really rough life. He is now a wonderful dad, works harder than anybody I have every met, except my dad, is humble (not forced), goes to the temple and teaches young people at church. People always talk about these people they respect on their blogs, like Oprah (loser) and other people who do nothing but talk big. Well the other person I respected more than anybody I can think of was Fred Young.
I knew Fred pretty much my whole life. I went to a couple of his birthday parties when I was little. I used to get so mad when I saw how people treated Fred that it just made my blood boil. If people had know how his home life was they would never have treated him with such disrespect and ignorance. I personally saw how he was treated at home and I will just leave it at that. Me and my cousin used to defend Fred at all cost's and always tried to help him after people got done teasing. Well I respected Fred because with all the vicissitudes that hampered his life, he faced them all with a smile and a tenacious determination that would not quit. I saw him go on his mission and I know from what others told me that he worked harder than anyone can imagine only to get sent home for health and personal reasons. He was mad that it happened, but could do nothing about it. I used to see him at UVSC every day while going to school and he put hours and hours upon hours into school with tutors and instructors so he could get through his work load of accounting classes to try and get a degree. He did this while he also worked full time hours into the night with maintenance for UVSC. It was amazing to see him get his degree in 2006 after working towards it for 8 years.
I know that he had a purpose to serve on the other side and I know he will do it with the same determination that he did on this world. I just wish I would have know that he died so I could have gone the service and paid respect.
These two people I talked about could teach people more about life and living than any of the lame celebrities and moron 'Sean Hanities' in the world. I just wish people would look at some of these examples and be more grateful about things instead of whining about how hard their "comfortable" life is!
WOOPIDIDOO
Stay Tuned, Yours may make an appearance.
By the way I don't care how many times youv'e been to Disney Land and I don't care when you are going back.

Advice, Advice, STOP WITH THE FLIPPIN' ADVICE
So it is amazing how many people think that people want their advise. From the look of things people think that, since the whole world is connected by blogs now, they can bore us with their advice. Well since it is popular for some bloggers to give advice, let me turn around and do what I am whining about and give some advice. My advice is STOP GIVING ME POINTLESS ADVICE! Manners people should use are things you should whine about to your husband ( or wife) before you go to bed at night. Not being a complainer is something you should talk to your kids about. I guess if you dont' have either of these people in your life yet WRITE IN A JOURNAL OR A DIARY OR SOMETHING!
By the way I don't need any more people to tell me that I am a hypocrite because I make fun of blogs and stuff and yet I have one that I update. I have spent a total of 40 minutes on this thing after my wife put it together for me. Thats at least daily for some of you with the "Blog Fever". Remember I love you all.

How Offensive!!
I have to mention something about this picture and then of course give something comedic about the whole subject. This of course is a real non-doctored picture of an iceberg. I found this picture and then found out that some people find the 'penisberg' offensive. Well I guess I could see how you could feel that way if it was used in the wrong context, but if this thing floated by while you were on an Alaskan Cruiseliner you would have taken the picture too.
Anyways, people being alarmed about this picture are the same people that come to my High School where I teach and cry about our science department head's class room. You see, she has a penis bone from a Baleen Whale hanging from her ceiling and it is about 2 feet long. Well some students find it quite interesting and as you would probably think it is quite the conversation piece, that doesn't deter people from complaining however.
So just give it a break and for heavens sake people spend your complaining time complaining about something that has merit and not a biology teacher's classroom where you are bound to find something 'organ'ic anyways!

So your a photographer?
Why does everybody think that they are a photographer now days. Every other person I run into takes pictures now. They all think they are so artistic too. Let me tell you something. Take a few pictures and let me go home. I don't need to be wondering where my day went 400 snapshots later.

You've been Tagged!
The first time my wife got tagged I thought her responses were kind of funny. Seriously though, some of this crap has to end. I don't want to hear your answers any more. Yes my wife lets me know the mundane things people say when they get tagged so just as a thought:
I don't want to know about your families farting habits
I don't care if you are obsessed with your F-ing hair
Basically I don't want to hear things you've had bottled up for 30 years and finally decided to let out of the vault.
Now people are getting husband tagged----oh lord please make it stop

My New Shirt
So I had to sit through a meeting the other day and two women that I teach with at school kept going on about their blog and how good they are at blogging and how they need to help some other women at school with their blog. Holy mierda can they just shut up. This put me over the top! I finally ordered my t-shirt on ebay so I can wear it on Casual Friday. This picture above is an exact copy of what my T-shirt will say when it arrives.
