Five Years...Really?

On July 10, 2002 I returned home from my mission in Sweden. It is hard to believe that it's been five years since I was there. It seems like it was yesterday. I remember the time going so much slower when I was there than it has since I came home. President Clark told me that I needed to be married within two years or he was coming after me with a 2x4. So if he finds me out here I'll tell him that I really am working on it. Whenever I reach these "milestones" I wonder, am I where I thought I would be? Am I reaching the goals I set for myself? When I was a missionary and people asked me what I wanted to be, I told them I wanted to be a Sports Agent. Not anymore, I discovered that there are other things I want to do. I remember sitting in a guys apartment in Karlskrona, I think his name was John. He had a big TV, lots of movies and PlayStation games and I thought, I want to be a bachelor like this and have all this stuff to myself. Now I have a TV, DVD, PS 2, TiVo and subscription to Blockbuster online, I think the Bachelor lifestyle is more over rated than Robinson Cano. So I'm going to write down my goals for the next five years.



  1. Marry a beautiful, fun, sports loving, politically conservative Mormon girl.
  2. At least have started my advanced degree.
  3. Finish the Rubik's Cube.

That's pretty much it. Simple, achievable, and rewarding. If you have advice for me reaching these goals let me know.

That's about it

Was Robinson Cano overrated when he jacked that 3-Run bomb on Sunday?

My thoughts on overrated - the Rally Monkey and Thundersticks. Do real baseball fans need that to get them excited about their ball club? If they do - you might just consider the authenticity of their support.

That is all.

I am beautiful, sports loving, politically minded, and Mormon. What have we been missing all this time?

Gotta love it. A man on the last night of his mission, sneaking a peak at ESPN!
