So...Today Is Going To Be Busy

For the 5 people who read my blog....today will be busy and I'll probably be occupied most of this weekend so there won't be a whole lot of time to blog. But...did anyone besides me, Dave, and Caitlin watch SYTYCD? This is so dorky, but I think I'm going to have a review column each Thursday and Friday because I am in love with this show. I'll write one later when I have more time. What else was I thinking about that I'd like to post in a public forum...Oh. So I have had a total of about 10 roommates or so, and most of them have been really close friends. I'm totally flabbergasted at how accomplished these people all are. These are the various graduate degrees that these people and a couple of friends pursuing and places they attended (if I know them)

• Law - Chapman
• Masters - Math - BYU, PhD - Michigan State
• MD - UNR, UNLV
• Podiatry - San Francisco somewhere
• Masters - Economics (?) - Brandeis
• Masters - Chem Eng - BYU, PhD - Stanford
• MBA - BYU
• Optometry - UAB
• Masters - National Security - Georgetown
• Masters -Accounting - BYU
• And soon to be dental school

And then there's me and I'm working on my masters. And the thing is, if you were to talk to these guys, only 1 or 2 of them you'd be like, yeah, that guy's a nerd, he's totally made for graduate school. But that is really crazy to think that my normal circle of friends will include a doctor, dentist, lawyer, doctor's of philosophy in various disciplines, podiatrist, etc. That's crazy! I'm proud of them all. And it's not to say that having graduate degrees makes you smarter or a better person, but it is a testament to the dedication that these people have, and that is what I admire. Honestly, I am so blessed to be associated with the people that I associate with. I will blog about them later.

Can I tell you how in love I am with my playlist? It opens with Heart, and now I'm listening to Toto and I freakin' love it!

I think one of the things that I really like about blogging is that this really has become a form of journal writing, and that the reward has been mostly intrinsic has kept me coming back. It's really cool. But it's nice that there have been some steady readers. Even if it's only a few of you.

I don't know why, but I woke up this morning and I'm just so grateful for everything and everyone. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, mexicans are playing el guapo de la manana in the nursery behind my house...things are good. I'm so excited for my buddy. I'm so excited to see all these people that I love so much that I haven't seen in years. Life is good. I bless the rains down in Africa. Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaave, ooooh-oooooh.
