OH CHRISTMAS TREE!

So this Thanksgiving, was a little different than the rest. all 4 of my roommates left Provo, and left me behind. It has been a uneventful week, Bored out of my mind. Thinking that I'm gonna get some sleep, it will be quiet, Quiet yes, but sleep no. I have recently noticed that I do not sleep well alone, and in a house that is what seems to be barron. A tradition that is kept every year by thousands of eating turkey, I made homemade Chicken noodle soup, Yummy! it is getting cold here in Provo, UT but what am I to do, but adapt and move forward, It is a family tradition that the Family Christmas Tree is put up and decorated this week of thanksgiving, so (NOTE) I am a male and single so It isn't the best thing to look at, well it looks better in person but It gets the point across that it is Christmas Time! Now with the tree up and decorated, that means Christmas music is allowed to be played, This is one of my favorite seasons and Christmas music is uplifting but I can get burnt out easily. but what the heck, bring on the snow, Hot Chocolate and many many hours of shivering! Happy beginning of the holiday season, oh and bytheway, Happy Black Friday! Good Luck!

My Car Is Dying! My boss gave me homework.

Well it is almost 16 years old, and been through a lot, but I have some time left with it, but not sure how much longer, so I will drive it until it croaks, but I decided to have some fun and just go and test drive some new cars. In the summer of 2007 I bought my Saturn for $1000 to go from not having a monthly payment to having a hefty one is not something I am looking for. However I will keep my car hopefully long enough to pay off some bills. Now as you scroll down you will see the cars that I test drove. Not only is my car dying but my boss asked me a couple of weeks ago what are my goals and dreams and I haven't really taken the time to think about it, so he broke it down and asked me my want's he started with a dream car... I said "I'm not sure" He said " your not sure?" what do you mean????? What kind of car do you want?. I know that you have thought about it, I then answered maybe a Lexus or a Land Rover. He the also gave me the assignment to go and just get a feel for what you like. So I did.





Of course the ones above are my faithful Saturn I love that car. we have bonded, many many miles we put on together, I bought it with 186,000 miles now just over 200,000. Of course sitting in these cars made me want them even more. but feel free and tell me what you like.
2007 VW Passat.




2008 VW Jetta






Now the nicest car I have ever Driven........



2005 Bmw

Of course now I have a dealership calling me but it was worth it, now for my personal report on the cars themselves....
The Passat... Most likely the car I would buy more for the money, cheaper in price and the biggest for a family, some things i took into consideration, If I buy a car it will need to last me a long time, yet the car was my ultimate family sedan I will look good either while driving to work or driving to a party, right? I think so....
The Jetta.... Yet a nice car but not for me! smaller than the Passat I felt a little cramped in it, it was nice to drive in something about the size of my Saturn, but to be honest in a way it kinda felt a little smaller that my Saturn, and those that have taken a ride in my Saturn we got to know if we both put on deodorant... so I'm gonna say the jetta was nice but not the car for me.
Now the BMW!!!! wow talk about wow! I have never really driven a car the I felt that I have complete control and that kind of get up and go. not to mention the looks that was getting while driving down University Parkway and I-15 made me want it right then. of course the Sales man was like let's take this baby a different route so there is more time for you to get to know the car. In my head I thought HECK ya! although it was a BMW I had my checklist that was going through my mind, Family car, Big enough that we all had space to breathe and feel comfortable. so yes I would consider a BMW after the fact that I have my Doctorate in psychology and am well established in my career. I can have my Dream BMW and my wife can have anything she wants.
Dream Big Right? and you can achieve anything!





Long time no post!

So This Place is cold!!!! Coming from Vegas to Provo is a drastic change, a ton has happened, My roommates are great, Mike, Paul, Brad and Cort, all unique in there own ways. Ya'll know me when I am stressed I get uptight and sometimes unbearable just with the day to day life. they are troopers! but I am trying new things to continue to channel the stress into working out or taking pictures. Cort this past football season worked for the BYU Cougars Football team, so 2 of their home games I got to attend for free, now I had free tickets but little did I know at first until he told me that they were front row and goal line, I was stoked! I went to the BYU VS UNLV game in October and the San Diego State game, both amazing games from both teams. Here are some Pictures for the San Diego game.
















Now you also know that I haven't been the brightest one when it comes to football, but I have learned more about football sence I have lived here in Provo due to our tv seems to only having one channel ESPN.... lol but it is cool. Now all I have to say bring it on basketball season I'm ready to learn...
