So amidst all the crazy snow we were having over the last week I managed to have some fun with my little brother while he was sleeping. I mean that is what older siblings are supposed to do. I'm just thankful that I had my camera close and on hand to capture this especially funny moment. Enjoy the movie!

*spoiler alert: The reaction on Lucas's face at the end is worth the whole film...

So Let's See That Family

Don't worry i am not going to grip in this email like past ones. Instead I am going to showcase some pictures of the family...So until I run off and have my own family (prob not for a few moons) I will share with you all the family I am part of right now. One of the brothers...David



My sarcastic Sister Alycia, Mother Joanie in black and Lucas the newly ordained Deacon. Oh don't forget me in the background trying to amke a new fashion statement with the tie "OUTSIDE" the sweater. Ohh Im such a rebel...





My sister and and I decided to be like them lame brain Black Firday shoppers and lined up outside Best Buy at 3:30am this year. I know you can call us idiots. However we were in and out of the store with our purchase in less than 30 minutes once the store opened at 5am. So while others waited in lines because they didn't shop til later that day maybe you are the lame brains. Hmmmmm....

Lucas sure loves his chinese buffet lines. "C'mon boy pile that right up there now!"

Whelp that will be all for now, I would like to admit thought the quality of these pictures is not my best. However in my defence they were all taken with my cell phone camera.

Man I Suck @ This

So updating this blog has become more of a chore than I ever thought. That could be in part to the simple fact I have no home computer and have to travel to the public library and only one out of the two in town will allow access to this website so as you can read in this long winded and run on sentence updating is hard.

Oh well I'm here today!

I would like to discuss a certain trend, (I know what you're thinking... NO more trends! I promise next time will be picture updates in my life.) This time I am going to talk about the laziness we have become that we allow the INTERNET and COMPUTERS to choose our dates and matches for wedded bliss or dating bliss. As you can probably tell I am staunchly against sites such as, match.com, eharmony.com, date.com, even ldssingles.com and any other type of dating site I forgot to mention.

We are some lazy people here nowadays. The age of going out to meet people is long and far behind us for the masses it seems. I don't think I go a day without hearing at least one person (even if it's in passing) talk about how they met someone on the net or a dating service. Why is it that we put so much trust in a compatibility test and machine server to choose dates? Isn't the whole part of dating supposed to be go "out" (notice I never said stay in and go out on the net) and mingle in person to weed out the jerks, free loaders and other heinous people? Well I am here to say that is the only true and capable way to find the best person. Great on them people that have found someone on the net, I don't fully hate the options to meet people. In fact the only people that I excuse to use these sites are the socially retarded and incapable of human emotion. That is not everyone.

I could go out and make up a whole fake profile to meet someone and who will know that it is fake other than myself. So what if you have to put a picture on the sites, you can still fake the personal info. Besides as a friend of mine from Reno said the other day as we spoke on this topic, "why should we pay to find someone when you can go out and mingle and not always have to pay to meet someone?" I also find it very funny that we will put all our trust in money hungry website to find out matches. Can you say LAZY? I sure can and currently am. I love the Internet but again it has corrupted us as a people. WE stay in our houses more and more because we can get it on the net. MAN-ALIVE GO OUT AND HOOK-UP!

Thank you for your time,

(PS. if you are reading this and have met someone because of the net good on you. Don't be angry this is my opinion and have expressed it, you don't have to agree or disagree that's the beauty of speaking and listening.)
