WEDDING DATE: FRIDAY August 15th, 2008

For those of you that still read this blog... for who knows what reason, I have a correction to make. In my previous post regarding Karly and I's plans to wed, I listed the wedding date as Saturday Aug. 16th, when it is really FRIDAY AUGUST 15th. We were planing on getting announcements out sooner, but did not... Hopefully this doesn't throw a monkey, a wrench, or a monkey wrench into anyone's plans to attend this somewhat auspicious occasion.

A thousand apologies to you and your loved ones. Please consider still coming, and bring *cash* your appetite.

Humbly,

Great Quote Of The Day: Wednesday July 9th, 2008

I have several friends that are moving all about the country for various reasons. New jobs, schooling, or escaping to/from family. I had a brief chat with a friend in regards to their new home in a new state...

"FRIEND:I'm pretty good at hating it. It sucks.


ME: Nobody hates it better than you do. Be proud of that.

FRIEND: I am. Everyone tells me I have a bad attitude, but I think they suck too."

I thought y'all might enjoy that. What makes it funny is that they weren't trying to be,
I think they really meant it. But I think negativity is hilarious. I mean, look at the picture of this grumpy dog!!! How is that not a funny picture? "Hey Grumpy Dog, why you got such a bad attitude?! Come here, let me squeeze your face and rub your belly!" ...one might be prompted to say.

Not me of course, but someone else maybe. Someone really silly. Which I'm not.

To All The Ladies...

SERIOUSLY, SO BLESSED

If you are female, Mormon, and you have a blog, you may want to go to the above link and read a while, and make sure it's not an exact copy of your own blog.

This dude, (And I know it's a dude writing it) has hit the nail on the head. I can't describe how refreshing it is to have someone capture all of the idiosyncrasies of the stereotypical female Mormon blogger.

"I love blogs with alliterations in their headings: the family's last name, followed by a real silly adjective describing just how zany their daily adventures are. In this, proper use of comma's somehow eludes me and all my friend's.

I love diet coke. But more than that, I love to talk (and blog) about how I know it's a WAY bad habit and I'm trying to cut back so I pretend that I only have one can a day. For some unknown reason, I love pretending a sugar-free soda is meth."


His character sometimes breaks into poignant self-deprecating commentary as seen above, which interrupts the illusion and underestimates his reader's ability to read between the lines, but I forgive him. It's so frickin' witty I can't stay mad.

My first inclination after reading this was to email the link to a bunch of ex-girlfriends and girls I know that this reminded me of and say, "Hey! This guy's talking about you!!!!!!!!!" But that would take this blog from being a fun parody into something vicious and mean. So I didn't. Instead I'm going to post it here.

So read on and laugh. And if some cognitive dissonance sets in as you realize this person has deftly sketched you and your friends... I might be smiling.
