Life Update 02/08

So here’s a life update. I went up to Logan, Utah and attended a semester of school at Utah State. It did not go so well. I came down to Arizona in December just to visit over school’s break. While here, after talking with some people and a lot of thought, I decided to defer …

Brain Damage

I played tackle football for years and I played lacrosse for a couple, and both of those are really physical sports. When people learn that I’ve had a lot of concussions, they assume that most, if not all, of them came as a result of me playing those sports, but maybe one or two of …

Spider in the Bathroom

My fears are a little weird. I love big dogs, I’ve never met a big dog I didn’t get along with. But little dogs are a whole ‘nother story. Chihuahuas are the worst. They legitimately scare me because they do not care how big or intimidating you are, they will bite your ankles mercilessly. Blood, …

Havasupai

Havasupai is a place in the Grand Canyon with natural waterfalls and rivers everywhere. It’s one of my favorite places ever, other than the 12 mile hike to get there of course. My first time there was with a church group. One day we hiked down, got there, while some people slept and others in …

Accidental Tattoo

As a kid, I liked to think of myself as a “biker”. I rode this little yellow bike everywhere, and at ridiculous speeds. One time while I was out on a ride in my neighborhood, I saw my dad’s truck as he was coming home from work. I thought it would be a good idea …

Thou shalt not insult the car or the driver. If you do not like the car or driver, you do not deserve the privilege of riding in the car …

Waking Up From Anesthesia

We’ve all seen the videos of people waking up from anesthesia after a surgery, and they all say the dumbest, funniest stuff ever. So when I got admitted to the E.R. for an abcess on my tonsil, and the super cute nurse who was in charge of me told me the doctors would have to …

Breathing Fire

Every year, the church I grew up in does an activity called “fathers and sons”. It is exactly what it sounds like, the fathers and sons go on a campout somewhere for some good ‘ol male bonding in the woods. What could be more macho than that? I’ve been going to these almost every year …
