I’m here in California working and, when I get the opportunity, enjoying the city. This morning, I awoke early to chat with Keith Stubbs, radio personality with 101.5 The Eagle, and talk about last night’s Dancing With The Stars performance. But, that’s not what I want to write about.
Since I was up so early, I [...]
It’s been months since I’ve updated this blog, and I know it’s feeling the neglect.So, I got to thinking… what is the purpose of blogging? Why do we blog? There are a plethora of reasons we could all come up with, but for me… self improvement.I’ve notice that through the years, my blog has helped [...]
Six years ago, I worked for a company that focused on the importance of building lasting business relationships. During my tenure, much of the training revolved around theories similar to Dale Carnegie’s book, “How To Win Friends And Influence People”.
It was not uncommon for my boss to meander throughout the office reminding the staff to [...]
I ventured into uncharted territory the other day — my closet; the keeper of trinkets, nic-knacks and other superfluous treasures.
Known as somewhat of a sentimental pack rat, I’ve kept a lot of things throughout the course of my 30 years. It’s fun to look back at items and recall the memories of yesteryear.
However, last week’s [...]
Parents often dote upon their children’s endeavors, giving the youths hope for success.
Between soccer practices, band performances and extracurricular activities, parents cheer along the sidelines and lose themselves by living vicariously through their kids.
Even within my family, my parents are extremely supportive of my ventures — including the worldwide Antarctica blogger’s competition; my mother thinks [...]
Last week, a buddy called me to complain about not having anyone to date.
“Dude, I just can’t find anyone to go out with.”
Trying to act sympathetic: “You live in Utah — the Mormon Maiden Mecca.”
“Yeah, but…”
“But what? You go to parties, ward and stake activities, institute. There is a plethora of women to meet.”
“It’s always [...]
Last week’s blog got me thinking about a recent funny experience.
I was pulled over for speeding through BYU campus the other day. Seeing those blue-and-red flashing lights in the rear view mirror conjures up one of the most gut-sinking feelings on the planet.
A husky figure got out of his tailgating patrol car, and from my [...]
It doesn’t matter if you’re single, or married; home teaching has got to be the most laborious responsibility in the church. Or, is it?
Contrary to popular belief, home teaching is actually rewarding and a great way to make friends, which is a must in any Mormon singles ward.
Singles wards are cliquish. (Don’t even think about [...]
Last week, I thought about trading in my ol’ clunker for something a little nicer. Why not? The government is handing out money in a billion-dollar car allowance program. Did I hear “free cash”?
Sweet! Not only is my trade-in worth the government’s $4,500, but the dealership will throw in the car’s scrap value. That’s some [...]
…stays in Vegas.
A line that epitomizes what the city is all about. It’s no wonder the coined nickname is “Sin City”.
When I told my friends my 30th birthday would be celebrated in Vegas, eyebrows raised and questions abound.
“How do you celebrate your 30th in Vegas when you’re a Mormon? You do realize we’re going to [...]
