Feels like no one could beat me down.
Herro! So my daily blog became a weekly blog is now an every other week blog. Oh how quickly some things can fade. A problem I have been facing all too much lately.
First things first, I am having a "painful" deja vu experience at the moment, which is probably why I can not fall asleep tonight. They say scent is the sense closest tied to memory, right now I would agree.
So I last left off the day before the big 2-4 birthday. One whole year away from having a quarter life crisis! It was surprisingly one of my more memorable birthdays, just had a few of my closest friends meet up with me at Red Robin and had a blast. Got the ever favorite Whiskey River BBQ burger which I will forever state is the greatest burger there, I don't care what anyone else says, its the king. I also got one of their specialty lemonade/limeade drinks and ended up making the rounds and trying all 4 flavors which were all incredibly delicious, the blueberry pomegranate one was the best though. My man J-Hep got my back and covered my bill for me, what are best friends for right? And to top it all off Sarah made me a BOMB homemade carrot cake! Like I said, what are best friends for. I know what you are all thinking, but Bracken! why carrot instead of your ever favorite funfetti cake? don't worry, there is always next year children. That was about all I did for the day of birth celebration but it was all I really wanted to do, get my friends together for a meal, can't beat that.
note: there will now be no logical order to the madness that will now spew from my brain...
So after working at Blockbuster for 9 months now I have as of late hit that point where I no longer desire to watch movies very often and have converted to watching TV shows. I have grown to like them more because they offer more than 2 hours of entertainment and they can develop characters and plots in much greater detail. Also I have seen just about every movie I want to see in our store... The shows I have recently been watching are 30 rock and Dexter. I have a new crush now from watching Dexter. Ever since I stopped watching the Office my love for Jenna Fischer has dwindled, only a little but my new love is Julie Benz! Oh yeah.
Look where she is at too! Comic Con ! What a woman.
I have also been trying to get into Supernatural because Sarah and Courtney have not stopped telling me how much they love it. Pretty sure they are just in love with the two main dudes. Anyway, I have had a desire to go back and re watch Band of Brothers sometime soon because it has been a long time since I watched it and its a really powerful series. Anyone in?
So a few weeks back my good friend Sarah Goff sent me a text early in the morning enlightening me to the fact that the greatest rock band EVER will be in Utah on May 10th, so as any sane people would do we counted down the hours until the tickets went on sale and GOT THEM!!! Ladies and gentlemen, I, Bracken Michael Rawlings, will finally be seeing Coheed and Cambira and Circa Survive. It will be glorious. I just hope Sarah and Courtney are as excited to go as I am. p.s. I pre-ordered the deluxe hardback version of their new cd, Year of the Black Rainbow and can not wait until April 13th to listen to it!
So jumping back to the topic of birthdays, February is a fantastic month to be born because J-Hep was also born this month, later then myself, but still in February thankfully. To celebrate this joyous occasion we shall be hitting up Brighton for some lovely night boarding that night. I havent been all season so I am SO ready to go.
Moment of silence now if you will...................a few nights ago some children in my elder's quorum asked to borrow our Rockband set for a little party they were throwing. We willing let them borrow it because we are nice people. Well unfortunately when it was returned to us the bass drum pedal was cracked in half so I have not been able to rock out for quite some time now. Sad day. R.I.P. little buddy, you were a great drum pedal.
On to the Olympics. So I have been watching quite a bit of the Olympics lately and it was been rather entertaining, well about 25% of it at least. Some of these "sports" are just too boring for me to watch BUT the 25% that I have enjoyed have been FAN-freaking-TASTIC! Watching Shaun White DESTROY the half pipe was unbelievable. Go USA! Defeat the WORLD! Glad he is riding for us because the man is unstoppable. But even more exciting than that was watching the US men's hockey team run head on into Canada in hockey. Holy cow! I have never been a big hockey fan because I just never had it in me to watch a game but after watching that match the other day against Canada I am hooked! We play again tomorrow at 1 against the Swiss I believe. So ready to cheer them on again.
Speaking of Hockey and awesome people Steve Nash had a hilarious interview discussing him and the Canadian Olympic hockey team. My favorite quote was, "You can not be this ugly and not at least be considered for the Olympic team." Oh Steve. Nash is my homeboy. Or at least the shirt I am wearing says so!
That's right everyone. I own that shirt. SO beautiful.
Well, I better at least get some sleep tonight so I can get to class, then do some Maakoa work from 2-5 with J-Hep at UVU then get to Blockbuster and work the rest of the night. Busy day for me tomorrow. Night!
