Movies in 3-D

So when you put two pair of glasses on do you see in 6-D or 4-D? I saw Monster House in 3-D today, was really cool. It's the same movie, just in 3-D. But during the previews they told me to put on the glasses but I already had them on. Nightmare before Christmas, is coming out in 3-D in Octber, so that'll be cool to see, those of you who will be here still. But you do have to buy your glasses, for $1.50? I don't know exactly cause my dad covered that part. But they are pretty dorky looking. Big thick black frames. Well the lens aren't red and blue. Here just look at this pic.


They should have had me be the model, cause I make anything look good. I think they'll come out with new frames for each new movie, that is if 3-D comes back. Cause they really do some cool things in that movie with the 3-D. You can tell some things aren't really 3-D cause it is just an optical illusion. Thank goodness that our minds think too much sometimes. But it's bad sometimes too with certain things.

Yes I did get a haircut, I got it at Fantastic Sams. I think I lost about 5 pounds from doing that. It's for some more passport pictures for my visa. And even before I go to Brazil, I'll need another haricut. I'm sure the people who'll give me them will love me, cause my hair grows way too fast.

Not much else happening here other than that. Still doing the same old, same old. See you next time, here in my lil world.

We went Idaho

We had a wonderful drive to Rexburg to visit my cousin and my aunt and uncle. After the 4 hour drive went to go see Pirates II it was great. Issac's baby head is shown here. From R-L Zach, my mom, Aunt Anna.

Here is Payson, Zach's friend's from his mission nephew.The entrance to the cave we visited. Called the Civil Defense Cave
It was cold enough in the Cave that there was ice. It was really cool.
No flash here, only flashlights.

Oh there's the flash. L-R Zach, Bryce(Zach's friend from his mission), my Dad, Unlce Jeff(Golden Gramps), Bryce's Dad, Drew.
We had a few tight spots.
Yay, the exit.
Looking back into the cave.
My dad had a little spill.
A little dune jumping, who would have thought there was some in Idaho.
Then we had some grub from Big Jud's. They had burgers that came in 1lbs, 2lbs, 3lbs.
L-R my Dad, Drew, Uncle Jeff, Issac, Zach, me, Sarah

Look out world I have a camera!!!!11111

Yes it is true i now have a camera. And all you that's been around me when I have one know how much I love to use them. Yes I go on a rampage with cameras. So people have to take them away from me. But now it is mine so no one can *devilsh laugh*. But I still have some strange feeling that it will somehow... But anywho here are some wonderful pics from my wonderful camera. Here's me and one of my polar bears. Can you bleive he used to be as big as me?
Here in my room. My bowl from my wonderful birthday cake, with a glass of milk. And my vanilla cream soda from the 4th. As you can see I have just so many things to take pictures of. I mean it's just mind blowing.

Happy Birthday to me!

Well i'm 52 now, 52 weeks older than I was last year. I got to turn 19 as I watched Superman Returns, that was pretty cool. Well not much has happened yet, I got some birthday money from my grandpa. That's as far as the presents and other such things have gone so far. I guess I shouldn't be expecting very much at 10:28. Lol, I just felt like posting this earlier, maybe I'll come back and add some stuff later. o.0

Mission Call

Well I finally got my call to Brazil Recife mission. I report to the Sao Paulo MTC on Oct. 4. I'm so excited about it. I've been looking forward to this for 18 years now. All those times singing I hope they call me on a mission finally have payed off. I just can't wait till then. I get to work till then, so I guess I better search harder now. Well here's the pic of my mission. It's pretty small uh!? And I don't even recongize any cities around there lol. Well I'm super excited

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I felt that I haven't posted enough pic lately. So here are some.

Anything goes!

I figured it's about time I have a post were I just ramble on about anything and everything. So let's start with the wonderful weather going on right now. There is a spectular lightning storm going on right now. All the lightning, it's so great. The tempature is like perfect, I could just sit out there and watch it all night. Speaking about lightning my brother, Joe, was almost struck once. It was at Martin's Cove in Wyoming. But he was ok. This shake that I'm having is so goooood. It's cookie dough, I made that must be way it's so good. OR itcould be that I was craving something sweet all day... Dinner was fantasitic, La Careta was delicious. If you haven't been there you should go. Oh the rain makes me think of poodle..i mean puddle jumping, with Kelsey, Owen and Savannah. The first two being prolly the only ones reading this...lol Yeah all the splashing and stuff, makes me giggle like a school girl. I have a lava lamp, in my room, I'm still not sure if I'll ever use it. DDR is still fun. I guess I've played it a little too much. You know how I know this? When I close my eyes I see the arrows. But I'm getting better. Getting down not resting in the center but keep you feet on the directions. So hopefully I'll get that down, I definetley the best that were here tonight, but that's not saying much. Can I beat Kelsey, maybe we'll just have to see. I still wish I had a digitial camera. Cause then I could give you a tour of my room. And if any of you think I can set you up on a date, well too bad, I don't want to do it. I've decided that it's too much work. mumble mumble mumble mumble....well i guess that's it... I thought I had more to say, oh well. :)

Isn't winning great?

You to play something, and you come up against someone one who is supposedly better than you. You start to think, "Oh no, I'm going to get wasted." Then it turns out that you just totally kick their trash! Yeah after something like that you just feel sooo gooood. Well it might be just me, but I like to assume that everyone else feels the same way. Well I guess winning in general just makes you feel better. Even if the other people don't even stand a chance against you. But if you lose to those people you feel so bad. Cause you should have won but you didn't.

Losing is something that we all do sometime. Either in a game or some other competion. They saw you learn no lesson when you win, but a thousand when you lose. These lessons I have usually to be about me. What is important to me? The happiness of others or mine? Is this game really that important to me? Is winning all that I live for? Is competing something I enjoy? These are just some of the questions I've found losing answers. Losing can be in several different things. In school there is competion for getting the best grades and scholarships. Losing in school can be quite discouraging. But winning can be one of the greastest joys. Getting that A you worked for so hard is so rewarding. But some people are just naturally are good in school and so we all hate them for that. People can also lose in love, by falling out of it. It is said that, "It is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all." Love is something that is a precious gift that we are given. It brings so much happiness into life. But when you lose it there is an empty void in your life. A hole that needs filling. But nothing can replace it. But even greater love can repair the whole though. The love of a loving God. He'll help you fix your problem.

2-3 week waiting period :(

Now All I have to do is wait 2-3 weeks before I know where and when I'm going on my mission. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. So if you couldn't tell what I just said, my mission papers are in. So I'm doing a lil dance. *dancing* *even more dancing* *knocks over a lamp* opppss *stops the dancing* *sweeps the broken lamp under the couch* *starts whistling as he walks the from the scene of the crime* I don't know what's going to be harder waiting for the call, or to wait to leave. I guess I'll just have to see about that. Well this is hagspam(HideAndGoSeekPAndaMan) signing out.

Removing Wallpaper

Yeah that's what I did for most of the day, remove wallpaper from our kitchen walls. Man, that was just so much fun.... All the icky goopsy glue remover everywhere. It makes you all itchy. The splash from it being sprayed on the walls. But it's really fun when you get a giant strip to rip off. We got to a part where my mom srumbed all the time, so there was like no paper to get a hold of to remove it. So it was like 3' by 6" piece of wallpaper took us an hour. Some of you may be wondering why we're no0t using a steamer...well we tried it before and it didn't work :( So we're stuck with that spray. No fun at all. But at least it looks a ton better now. All of you who have came over, and if you looked at the kitchen would agree with me of how bugly it is. Yes bugly, it's a step above ugly.

Mission Papers

Doing my mission paers has really gotten to start thinking. I'm about to go off somewhere a preach my heart out. It's just really an amazing thing. I mean there is other stuff I would like to do but I know that this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Got the Dentist appointment over with. ^_^ Tomorrow my least favorite thing, a physical. >_< Well still a lot of things to do tough. I've started to hate paper work even before I have a job. I guess its just preparing me for one. I mean the Eagle Project paper work is easy. Its just annoying to everything signed and stuff. My mission is going to be great, I can just feel it. My brother calls us on Sunday, YAY!! That's definetly the best mother's day gift anyone can give.

Home again at the home again

WOW!!!! Finals are finally over(I'll never get tired of that one). The fun may now begin. For some the fun ends in a week. Cause they're going to Spring Semester.....0.o....For others like me it's going to be 2 years of hard work. I'd go over all the things people are doing but....that'd take me way too long to type it out. So if I left you out...well...just get used to it. It's nice being home again. Even though I've only been here for ummmm four hours. Why is saying good bye so hard. It's only normal to leave people behind. Be they from Michigan, California, New York, Utah, Colorado, or even Illinois(Cause who's from there anywho?) I guess when you say good bye though, some people are going ahead of you. So that can make you feel just about a foot tall. Also when you don't see people for awhile a lot could have happened. You might have wanted them there for something. And they weren't!!!!!!!!! lol.....I'm going to miss all my friends that I made in college. Well I guess some made friends with me.....but I'm still going to miss them. It is now time for me to start working on my mission papers.....scary thought. A job is also to be something that I'm supposed to get...hmmm who would want to employee me....who knows!? I finally can start cooking my own food again. Yesssssssss.... Yumm tuna sandwiches....dreams do come true. Well see you next time.....well maybe not see but umm you'll see what I type....

The Good Kind of Homework

I got two of the best assignments that I've ever had.
1)Take a Nap
2)Eat a carton of ice cream
I mean can it get any better? Well maybe like play some video games or something...

Video Games Parodies

These are so true that I felt all should see these. Have any questions just ask me.

School is almost OVER!

Winter semester is coming to a close here. Only 10 days of class left. Then finals for a week. YAY!!! With school being over though, that means I get to say good bye to everyone...:'( >_<. Well I'm sure we'll keep in contact for maybe a few weeks then it won't happen anymore. Except some special people. Which is usually like one person. And sometimes it's even more than that. Well I found finals week to the funest week in school. Cause some people, like me, don't really need to study for some classes, so we play instead. And that week is Savannah's B-Day is guess we'll need to plan something. And this time I need to remmeber to sell back my books^_^ We sure do have a lot of things left to do before this semester is over. Like hiking the Y and going places to eat. And even going to see Arsenic and Old Lace. Any more ideas just a post them cause that would help me remember them ty. I still can't believe that school is almost over. It still feels like it just started.

Pandaman

No this is not how I got my hideandgoseekpandaman handle. That came from CTR(Crash Team Racing). This is one of my first stuffed animals if not THE first. His name is Jealous. He's been through a lot. He's had an ear ripped off. Head sewn back on twice. Thats a lot for one little guy. He's been left out in the rain several times. He's in the shape that most people would threw him out. But he's so important to me that I'd never do that. I dont sleep with him. If I did anywas he's head would probably would come off. Well with the ear thing, well me and my brother were fighting over him for some reason so I was holding onto his with my teeth. My brother was pulling on is body. And there was this rip and his ear was in my mouth and the rest of him was with my brother. He still has the original stuffing in his head. But it's as hard as a rock. His nose is gone, I dont remember why. He's not very black and white. It's more of a tan than a white. Well here he is.

The Truth About Computers

If People Thought of Cars like they do about Computers - Tech-support people will find this especially amusing ...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to drive, because people don't buy cars like they buy computers -- but imagine if they did . . .

HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"

CUSTOMER: "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!"

HELPLINE: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?"

CUSTOMER: "What's an ignition?"

HELPLINE: "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine."

CUSTOMER: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all of these technical terms just to use my car?"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"

CUSTOMER: "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!"

HELPLINE: "Is the gas tank empty?"

CUSTOMER: "Huh? How do I know!?"

HELPLINE: "There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F.' Where is the needle pointing?"

CUSTOMER: "It's pointing to 'E.' What does that mean?"

HELPLINE: "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor, and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to install it for you."

CUSTOMER: "What!?" I paid $12,000. for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with everything built in!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"

CUSTOMER: "Your cars suck!"

HELPLINE: "What's wrong?"

CUSTOMER: "It crashed, that's what went wrong!"

HELPLINE: "What were you doing?"

CUSTOMER: "I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then it . crashed -- . and now it won't start!"

HELPLINE: "It's your responsibility if you misuse the product. What do you expect us to do about it?"

CUSTOMER: "I want you to send me one of the latest version that

doesn't crash anymore!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

HELPLINE: "General Motors HelpLine, how can I help you?"

CUSTOMER: "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, and power door locks."

HELPLINE: "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?"

CUSTOMER: "How do I work it?"

HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"

CUSTOMER: "Do I know how to what?"

HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"

CUSTOMER: "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my car!"

Mission calls Mission calls everywhere and not one for me...

About everyone I know is now going on a mission. Let's see one of my friends is going to DC south, one's going to Dominican Republic, one's going to California Long Beach. I mean, I look around everyone is turning in their papers, and I'm just sitting there twittling my thumbs. I'm kinda of afraid of going, but I know I'll do a good job. I'm really excited at the same time. There are other people though who are 100 times more excited than I am. Right now I'm just looking forward to spending some time with my family. Cause school right now isn't that challenging. Well not in the way I want it to be that is. I mean the memorizing and stuff is hard, but I hate that stuff. I find it to be rote and bothersome. I was really good at it at high school. Being at college though, I'm not so good. My study habits are the same. So, right now I'm trying something new. Reading it out loud to myself. So far it has worked wonders. I'm remember stuff more readily. So I hope that works out. I was having the same problem last semester, so I know it's not the girls. Last semester my classes where much better than this semester. Cause last semester I had classes I actually like the stuff I was learning about. So I guess I just need to plan better next semester. ^_^ College is still great. I just love it so mooch. lol i mean much.... Byu us just a great place to be. Still hate those CS labs. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....>_< But um I'll get over it. If it doesn't get better soon, I'll just have to go visit my dad. Cause he'll know how to fix it. Reading what Abe Lincoln is fun to read. That guy is just amazing. He learned just about everything from reading. What a brilliant mind that man had. Wow this sure did get off the title. I guess I decieved all three of you that read this. LOL. Well thats it for this time. TTFN

Twilight Princess

I'm so excited about the new Legend of Zelda coming out. It's supposed to come out on April 15....but we all know that it always gets pushed back. Knowing my luck it will come out when I'm on my mission. Then I'll have to wait two years....But I guess, I wont have to buy it then. Cause someone else in my family is bound to do it...I mean look at theis pic. Doesn't it just look awesome.
