1-Talk is cheap. But its okay, if the person talking is attractive.
2-When the going gets tough the tough get going. Or they stick around. The thing is, the tough do what they want, which is why I started to learn how to cage-fight. Which leads me to my next point.
3-Fighting does solve some problems. Learn how to reason, learn how to punch.
4-Looks are only good for 30 years on a man and 20 years on a woman.
5-I have no idea how the internet works, but its awesome.
6-What goes around comes around. Thanks to the Vietnam Vet, the fence workers, the insurance agent, the mexicans, the other mexican, and the german tourists for giving me rides when I hitchhiked this summer.

11-Life is not too short to spend time on Facebook.

15-Traditional education, as it stands and is packaged, is a farce.

21-Obama, indeed, does not
22-The FED is a private corporation, unaudited and largely unregulated by the US government.
23-The only stillness left in the world is outdoors in remote, wild places. However, I'm not sure how much fun Henry Thoreau would have been to hang out with.
24-Money really doesn't matter. Except when you need it.
25-Life goes better when you do what you know you should do. I don't think I'll ever make the bed though.
26-Relationships and agency. Thats all we really have. But Ipods really are cool while we got 'em.
27-My mom knows best.
28-My father is easier to get a 'yes' from.
29-Beautiful women are like dollar bills. They used to have value.
30-You don't have to be able to squat 400 pounds.
31-If it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger. My motto. And justification for some really stupid crap.
32-'Large' t-shirts don't go down far enough, so, when they're new, you have to stretch them in between the washer and dryer. Stretch them every time you wash them. You'll have your perfect t-shirt.

There's more, but that'll do for now.

number 35 was my favorite!
My husband and I were reminiscing about our teenage years the other day and you came up. I stumbled on your blog from your facebook page. I have a lot of great memories with you in them. From getting teased about the handholding pic in the ward scrapbook, to the fire in the tent in your field, to playing catch and hockey. There were some good times. Your parents were good to me and your mom always had bread in the breadmaker when I did homeschool at your house. I had mom-envy. :) I wish you the best in life. And a woman, if they can be found in Alaska. :) I'm doing the typical LDS thing, 6 kids now! It would be fun to have a Key Center reunion of sorts sometime. I'm rambling now. Goodight!
