This is something I think we can all appreciate:

I made this for the world. Maybe I'll put in on a T-Shirt. I feel myself pretty clever about it.



Also.... THIS IS THE 100TH POST!!!
So in celebration.

Maybe

Maybe having free time isn't all that fun.

I find that sleeping most of the days away and working most of the nights is exceedingly dull. Maybe I'm too used to working 2 jobs and school, but now that I have afternoons to do nothing, I am at a loss. I read, I go to the gym. Occasionally I'll run somewhere, but all in all, not a lot going on. For this reason there has been a shortage of posts.

I need to find a new job.

I need to take the LSAT.

I need to study for the LSAT

....

but, guess what I'd :like to do?

I want to write a book.

I want to go on a cruise in the Caribbean.

I want to have more married friends who live close and who are cool.



Alas. We don't always get what we want.


In any event, so that this post isn't a total waste, here's another video to add to the segment of "Great Songs With Less Than Exemplary Videos" :

Kindly point your rapture in the other direction

Well, It has now been the 22nd for two hours, and I haven't been swept up to heaven. Since I am pretty sure that I'm among the MOST RIGHTEOUS, we'll have to assume that the dude who said the rapture was going to happen was wrong again.

This is been declared the "Summer of Jason", and I am enjoying the relative lack of nothing to do. I spend my days reading, watching tv, eating junk food, or going to the gym. And working. But you know, just one job and no studies is no big deal.

Ans lastly, here is a nifty slide show found at the Royal Geography Society Website that you should check out. This makes me want to travel so much.

Why?

That is the question I found my self asking as I pounded through thirteen miles of Provo last Saturday. Why? I don't love running. I am not a gifted runner. I never ran in high-school. In fact, I never ran until I started my mission, and in the MTC is the first place that I can ever recall for running for the fun of it. So why, with no prior experience, would I decide to up and run a half marathon? I don't know, but it was not a bad experience. I wish I would have used the bathroom beforehand, because I really needed to pee the whole time. And I wish that I hadn't carbo-loaded on Papa John's pizza the night before, because the sausages are just plain wicked for running. But in hindsight, it was pretty fun. I rubbed the skin off of my pinky toe the Tuesday before the run in preparation, but it behaved pretty well during the 1/2 Marathon. Gluch also ran, and it was good times. My time was 1 hour 59 minutes, and my goal was under 2 hours, so success for me. Here are a few pictures of the blessed event.

I realized as I ran though that I'll never have the testicular fortitude to run a full marathon, that's just too much.

Time goes by.

It's April 30th, I look out the window, and I see... Snow?!?! C'mon!. It's supposed to be warm already. Why is it that Utah has to be so schizophrenic when it comes to weather? I needed to run 10 miles today, but it looks like I will have to wait till Monday. Why run at all you ask? Well, I kind of signed up to run a half marathon. I figured it would put me on my way to finishing a bucketlist item. But now, it snows. I hope it doesn't snow next week, that's the half marathon day.
I am done with school for now, and there is a void. I don't rightly know what to do with myself. I read a lot, and have watched a lot of Seinfeld. I wonder if this is what being unemployed is like somewhat. I am employed, but I don't feel like I'm doing anything if I am not pulling full a full course load with 2 jobs I guess. I cleaned the house though. Seems like I always do that when I have a life transition that involves downshifting. After my mission, I cleaned the heck out of my parents house for a while. If I had lived there more than a month, I may have even cleaned the attic and dusted all my legos... who knows? I have also watched some craptastic movies. Just for the record, GI JOE really sucks. It's like they found every class B actor that wasn't the awesome Bruce Campbell, and stuck them in there. REALLY.CRAPPY.ACTING. Plot, dialogue, everything was pretty bad. Ray Park was cool though, no speaking lines, as usual.
Stupid snow. I looked outside again and it snowed at least two inches. That means scraping off the ol' car. I think that I will move to Florida. Hurricanes are worse though. Maybe California? Nope, Earthquakes. Hmmm... Well. I'm open to suggestions. Let's here where I could find an ideal climate without some crazy natural disaster.

My last 3 or so years in one place...

Want to see what I have been up to in school? Here's your chance to see all of the things that I have had my little fingers in since I declared Print Journalism as my major:
