Sometimes when rappers want to see whose rhymes are superlative, they “battle”. It’s non-violent.

Pretty funny.

This picture is on my grandma’s wall by the kitchen. I imagine my grandfather put it up there because he had that kind of humor. They have lived in the same house since I have been alive, so this picture has sort of been a constant for me. It makes me laugh but also makes me think. Maybe it’s where I get my entrepreneur tenacity?

“No” is never the end unless you give up. I say that all “no” means is that you got their attention. The second “no” means that you might be serious, the third one means you actually want it, the fourth “no” means that you’re determined to get it, and the fifth “no” means that you understand persistence. There usually aren’t more than 5 “no’s”.

Choke that bird!

Here’s what my brother Eric made last night. Pretty funny stuff. Guys out there- it’s true! Are you intimidated by a very attractive and very smart girl? Well chances are she’s intimidated just a little by you as well! Just put yourself out there and get a date, you’ll be glad you did. People are afraid they’ll get hurt and all that stuff, and everyone’s been hurt before, but fear is no way to live life! The best things come at a high price.

Observe:

This is what it looks like if you keep going. I’m in a stats class right now and its very useful, a business person who understands and applies statistics is a powerful one.

Cap’n crunch is good, but sometimes it cuts the roof of your mouth. This is a pic from my brother’s blog, we had some fun with photoshop

“Yaggo make me lose my mind; up in here, up in here.
Yaggo make me go all out; up in here, up in here”

These famous lines from a contemporary musician and thinker pose one question: Who is Yaggo? How does he possess such influence as to affect this man’s behavior and grammar?

Could it be Iago?

Every year in Spanish Fork, UT the Festival of Colors graces the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple. Sources say it’s a time for people to “bury their hatchets with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind“. It was a ton, ton of fun. Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been to a concert and a really long time since I’ve helped someone crowd surf. What a great event! There was a live band that played Indian music and encouraged us to hug a stranger. Ha. Many of the people there were college students, many from BYU. I went with my best good buddy Nate. For your viewing enjoyment:

Even security man is chalky.

This is us before we got chalky

That bag of chalk the person has in their hand is what we all threw at one another. It was like $2 and there was plenty to go around. When it came time for everyone to count down and toss their chalk there was so much in the air that it actually blocked the sun. Nate and I were in the middle of the whole thing and we couldn’t see a thing (or breathe really) but it didn’t last long

This was a short text-message conversation I had today. I have no idea what woof is all about, I just went along with it. Love it.

My phone just updated and now it does video! It was a Christmas miracle Sunday morning. Later on I was at interviews with my bishop for a long time and we were very grateful when our friend brought us some lunch. I decided to make a little cartoon of appreciation and email it to her. Here goes:

First published video taken by me phone.

Yum!

Eh??

That’s right. You never thought it was possible . . . until now!

There’s this comedy club in Provo called Comdey Sportz, they’re pretty good! Here you see Gabble the elf and Ilda the Norwegian therapist. Good stuff.

This is a dear on campus at BYU. They are all around and its weird but they look cool. Dears have big ears.

This is Piglet, who says “Oh d-d-d-dear”.

I’d be smiling, too if I could skate on blue stacks of cash. Yeah, money in the bank, Piglet.

Eric is made partly of quips. There’s some carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen I’m sure, but a good deal of his chemical makeup is of the comical nature. This is what he said about this ad in the produce section of the grocery store.

We bought so much goodness from the store that we couldn’t quite fit it all in our hands. There was only one box of cereal left, so I decided to get it out of the truck with my mouth. Worked good.
