everything for the better.

I often look back at how things used to be.

I realized that is what makes up the majority of conversation.

I look back to days when everything was different.

When my number one priority was what I was doing after 4th period.

How simple life was, and how hard it is getting.

I say to myself, "Why do we do this to ourselves?"

Why do we move away from the things we love?

Why are we not satisfied with how life once was?

Why does everything have to change?

That is what makes everyone so unique.

Everyone goes through different challenges in life.

This is what causes them to change.

I would give almost anything to turn back time for a few days,

to have everything as it once was,

but I realize that I'm doing all of this to better my life.

I'm doing it to get where I want to go,

to reach my success.

Before I die:

• I will graduate with my degree in Architecture from the University of Utah.
• I will live in New York City for a while.
• I will be a success in architecture.
• I will start my own restaurant.
• I will get married.
• I will raise a child.
• I will design my own place.
• I will give a speech at a best friend's wedding.
• I will write a book.
• I will attend the funeral of a loved one.
• I will watch Kwynn grow up.
• I will love.
• I will fail.
• I will succeed.

oh hey there, blog.

It has been long, too long, since I have written. It has always been a thought in the back of my mind that I need to update everyone on what has been happening in my life, and what my thoughts are on things, but I have had a hard time getting around to it.

Here it goes:

• Ryan and I have been together for nearly 4 months now. I never thought I could be this happy with someone. I never thought I would have a relationship with someone and have this sense of normality that I have with him. He makes me laugh everyday and we have a lot of fun together. Oh, and it really helps that my family loves him, too.
• Winger's update: It continues to be slow, but I still manage to make enough to get by. My new general manager already got fired, and now the -half retarded- asian owner is trying to run the place. She can't speak english, she tries to cook but she messes up every order. I am very rude to her and she gets all nervous when I am around because I tell her how to do her job. The number to Winger's is (801)363-3666, you should call and complain about Li Ya, or more commonly known as halfretardedasiansensation.
• I got a new car! Kia. Soul. Her name is Chunk.
• I want nothing more than to own my own restaurant one day!
• My sweet mother signed my up to run a 5k in a few weeks. I went running for the first time today. I felt I did pretty well. My only complaint is that it was around 4pm, so the heat nearly killed me.
• I got one of these:

Pretty.

• I saw the Prop 8 documentary about what the Mormons did to campaign for the proposition. It was very upsetting to find out all that the LDS church did to fund this horrible thing. I suggest that everyone see it.

Life is good, maybe even great at the moment. I'm trying everyday to be a better person.
