What? Did you really think I was announcing my engagement? I’ve been here less than 2 months! I know I’m behind my Mormon standards, but give me a break! I’m a born-n-raised Californian. Two months ago I would have been joking about being “behind my Mormon standards”, but now I’m not so sure. It seems [...]
Warning: This blog may lead to increased blood pressure and feelings of fright. Thursday: Rick had let me borrow a video a few weeks back and I finally sat down to watch it. It’s called “The Secret” It’s all about the “Law of Attraction” – the idea that we attract what we think about. I [...]
I’ve tried to be social. * I was at Ward Prayer last night (which is an LDS/BYU oddity that deserves more blog attention), but it was poorly attended. *Munch ‘n’ Mingle had a good turn out, but I found myself standing in the living room with a forced grin, unable to elbow my way into [...]
There’s a building on campus called the MARB. At a place where SWKT stands for Spencer W Kimball Tower and JFSB stands for Joseph F Smith Building one would assume that MARB stands for Michael A Richards Building, M Albert Rothberg Building or something like that.

It happens to everyone. Well, it happens to all guys. Well, it happens to all guys who date. Maybe it happens to girls, but I haven’t been out on enough dates with guys to be able to speak from experience – but I digress. You go out for a good time with your lady of [...]

There’s white stuff falling from the sky. It’s been coming down for about 6 hours. I can’t say I know what anthrax looks like, but I’m not going out there … just in case.
I guess I’m officially a student at BYU. If you had told me a year ago that I would be where I am today, I’d’ve told you you were crazy, but here I am. I want to talk about what it’s like to go to school at BYU, but I don’t think I’ve done it [...]
Does anyone else thing there’s something fishy about the stretch of road called “I-15″ that spans the distance between Las Vegas and the western border of the state of Nevada? I don’t drive to Utah alot (or even Vegas), but I’ve been about 3 times in the last year and every time there seems to [...]
No man is an island, they say. I’m not exactly sure what that means anymore. I think it’s got something to do with our influence on one another, but these days we understand that even lonely islands effect the world in terms of climate and weather patterns. So maybe we are all islands, and the [...]
