    I thought this was pretty funny. So, I had to post it. I think that at many times in our society we encourage ‘in-the-box’ thinking. Especially in schools. But hey, such is life, right? Oh, and in other news, I was waiting to re-register applyclan.com, because it was a good domain, and it seems that…

    Carne Asada was something that I was introduced to while spending tons of time with the Hispanic people in Arizona. And I have to say that I certainly don’t regret getting to know it. It’s stellar. It’s incredibly tasty and very versatile. It can be ripped apart with a tortilla and smothered with salsa, beans,…

    I’m writing this post because Garfield wanted to say happy Halloween to everybody. ’tis a good day, I have to say. Don’t die, it’s bad for you. Oh, and so is eating a ton of candy. One other thing… If you donate blood on Halloween, they give you a cool pin that says ‘Holiday Hero’…

    Today, while I was driving the last stretch of my journey home from Provo, I noticed something that I had never seen before. As we all know, this time of year, every couple of years, the world seems to magically fill up with signs bearing various names. For the most part, at least at the…

    In the past few years, I have tried to remain a fencesitter in the constant duel between Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. But this neutrality seems to be coming to an end. Rather, I just realized yesterday that I’m not so much a U of U fan. Not to say that the…

    Yes, that’s right. This weekend, I experienced the coldest day that I have in quite a long time. It was a day unequaled by any in Arizona. And therefore I am happy. I like cold. I like snow. So, I was happy. But, I was not here. I do believe that it snowed here. But…

    While I was reviewing the candidates available for my vote in this coming election, I realized something rather ridiculous. You see, under the category for ‘Governor’ and ‘Lieutenant Governor’, I found a rather surprising name, that of “Superdell” Dell Schanze. Am I the only one somewhat frightened by this? As I investigated further, I happened…

    Yesterday I made a rather sudden decision to change webhosts. I realized that I was getting tired of the old host. I mean, they served me well for quite some time, but then I noticed that other services provided much more space and whatnot at a lower price. So, I made the switch. The other…

    I recently realized that I had completely forgotten the joys of going to live performances. Luckily, this week I was blessed with an opportunity to go to one, and therefore have refreshed my memory of the beauty of concerts and whatnot. Last night I was able to attend the O.C. Tanner Gift of Music concert…

    I’ve been meaning to write something on this subject for awhile now, but I hadn’t yet been able to find something that I considered a suitable way to present it. But now, I figure that I can’t put it off any longer. This week, my beloved grandfather, 94 years of age, passed away. He had…
