The Patriots lose, so the Jets have to go and follow them and lose too. How embarrassing. I also just typed embarrassing with three s's. It was quite an achievement.
I hate school. I want it to be over with and I want to move on with my life. I have a job lined up working for my brother at Jay's Plumbing and Service. My father started the company, and my older brother curt bought it a year or so ago. He wants me to come and work for him and help build the family business. I swant to get into my new job and learn everything I can about the world of plumbing sothat I can start making some money for my family. We want to start having kids, but we also both feel like it would be a good idea to wait until we have some money saved up first. Either way, its waiting. I have a year left in school. I will be graduating in August with my degree in economics. Sounds way fancier than it really is. All that it really says about me is that I can jump through hoops, and do as people tell me to. That is good enough for future employers right?
As for the reason I hate school, it is obvious. If i'm going to be working at a plumbing company, and I'm learning how to take derivatives of portfolio option in my financial economics class, it is hard to draw the line between the two. It causes me to play angry bird a lot. Maybe the birds are so angry because they would rather be eating worms than hitting blocks and stone walls!
This probably made zero sense, and I am surprised if anyone actually takes the time to read this, because I barely put the time in to type it.
I have other homework to do now Shayne. I hope this was way more than 140 words. If not, I guess i'll help the other kids with the whole 3.2 GPA average thing.

Another one bites the dust
I have Michael Vick in a fantasy football league, and he got owned tonight. The dude looks like he hurt his neck really bad. The result? I lost this week because he couldn't finish the game! Bummer. On the bright side, the Jets handled the Jaguars with complete control, and I beat one of my best friend's little brother by almost double.
These things being said, its a hard day to be a BYU fan. I had the nerve to watch the game with all Utah fans in Salt Lake with one of my best friends. Needless to say, we left in the 3rd quarter when BYU went down 20 points. That was a great call on my part!
School is fine. I am in a finance class, and I really enjoy it. I'm learning a lot of information that will help me make great financial decisions when I am placed in a position to make them. I almost fell asleep in my economics class, which is sad, because that is my major. I hate learning about grammar and all this English mumbo jumbo, but I guess it is a great life skill to have. You win this time Shayne, but only because BYU has your back.
I'm buying a storage unit tomorrow. I feel too young to need to own a storage unit. Life is just flying by, I guess. We have a couch that didnt fit into our current apartment, and we wanted to keep it, so we need to find a storage place. I wish it fit, because it is way better than the couch we bought. Or maybe we could have both couches in the living room at once. That would be epic.

NFL started
So I am in three fantasy football leagues this year. It is actually my first time doing any fantasy football, and so far, I love it so much. To get into the spirit of Fantasy Football (FF), my wife and I watched about 8 episodes of this TV show called The League. It is not very appropriate, but it is just so funny. It has my kind of humor, and it also talks about FF, so it's win win.
Anyway, three different leagues is quite fun. For one league I'm rooting for a set of players, and for another league, i may be rooting for an entirely different set of players.It really keeps the interest in the games that I normally would care less about, and boy does it work!
I really hope Frank Gore scores some touchdowns, because I do not want to lose in my league with friends from Las Vegas. I've got to win that league so I can put it in all their faces!
Aside from sports, I've decided I need to spend more time at the gym. I'm a big guy, and my wife worries about my health, so it's time to start putting some effort into it. After I got home from my mission, I was really good at going everyday. I even got to a point where I had a few friends to go with. Its nice to be single sometimes. Then, after a while, it just started to trail off, and I started to put on weight. I was just thinking about it, and I want to take these last few semesters of school to prove to myself i can make a change. I have a job lined up when I am done, so I know I can slack on school A LITTLE in order to put time into going to the gym. I went to the gym on Friday and rode the bike for 30 minutes and rode (according to the silly machine) 7.55 miles. Not too shabby i guess. Much more work to go, and I'm ready to bring this challenge on.

I just looked up how to spell crumpet
Hey Shayne, I'm writing a blog. Does this make you happy?
I am a horrible speller, and I am terrible at grammar. Somehow, I married a grammar Nazi. It is strange how those things work out. I have a very short attention span when it comes to writing. I literally just clicked away for like 10 minutes before i wrote that last sentence.
Here's a little information about me:
6'3" like 315 pounds. I'm a pretty big boy. I'm from Las Vegas, NV where i was born and raised, and plan to return when I am done with school. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I went to the New York Utica Mission where I taught the gospel of Jesus Christ for 2 years. I love good music. You might want more specifics on that, but I enjoy listening to people who are good at music. It is a large span of genres and that is a topic for another day. I've been married for almost 2 years, and I love my wife McKay so much. Yeah, she has a boy name, big whoop, wanna fight about it? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30GD25un0XQ) She hails from the brimming metropolis of Bainbridge, GA. She's a country girl and I'm a city boy. Ya, we need a sitcom, we know.
There's so much more to tell, but you are probably bored out of your mind reading this, so I will bore you some more.
I love sports. I love watching sports, and playing sports on a casual level amongst friends. My favorite sport is basketball. I love the NBA with a passion. I'm a giant LA Lakers fan. I am so sad the league is in a lockout right now. Football is great as well. I like pro more than college just because the college system is flawed greatly, to put it gently.
I think I've passed my 140 word limit for Shayne, so I'll give you more next week!
Peace
