The "Yes" Summer

This whole "yes" business is difficult when you don't have spendin' cash.
Yakkity yak! (Don't talk back)
Anyways, if you've ever seen the "Yes Man" movie starring Jim Carried-Away, I've decided to follow his fictional example, except within reason. It's time to say yes to things.
"Hey Todd, wanna go play paintball?"
"Yes!"
"Hey Todd, wanna go streaking through EFY on campus?"
"Yes!"
"Hey Todd, wanna go hit up the clubs in SLC?"
"Yes!"
Actually, I wouldn't say yes to any of these. Now all you haters are gonna be like, "Then you're not a real Yes Man!"
That's ok. You're right. I don't wanna be a real 'yes' man that does insane things for the sake of principle. Instead, I will say yes to most ward activites (that fall in my budget) to any invitations from friends or roommates (that fall in my budget) and to any dates that any girls will ask me on (provided that they pay). Ok, disregard the last one, it was just for kicks and giggles.
So, when I have ALL this time on my hands, I figure I got no excuses to bailin on anything.
If the Krogues are reading this, know this: I did go to the Scera Park today. I got as far as the front gate and they wanted me to pay 5 bucks to get in, so I was like, "Forget you!" and I ninja kicked them in the face and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. That's probably why you didn't see me.
Yes please!

Life... On an Impulse

So a lot has happened in the past few weeks. Foremost and first, I returned to Utah. Yup. 23 hours of driving all by my lonesome. It was surprisingly fun and fast (though I was a little nostalgic missing the times with my parents and listening to the bromance of Tamareire and Lawrence). I stopped in Albuquerque and stayed at a hotel all by myself for the first time. I got in around 10, but I thought it was eleven because neither my phone nor Susan (my GPS) had switched time zones with me. So I watched a crappy movie (Jumper) and then I went to sleep and woke up at 7:15, which was actually 6:15, had some breakfast and moved on to my new house in Provo.
Why did I come to Utah? There are several reasons. The principle reason for it being so soon was mainly for the opportunity I had to work some. The day after my arrival back home I went to UVU to ref for the junior girl's basketball camp.
I think I've vented enough about my frustrations about being an official. Know this: it gets worse outside of intramurals. I could have easily tossed out the fans/players/"coaches" for unsportsmanlike conduct at BYU, but in the regular world, I guess that's what people expect. I decided I want a job where not everyone hates me. That means sales, politics, and parking enforcement are out of the question.
So I had a few interview opportunities, but to no end yet. Then I got an email on Wednesday asking me to come be a counselor in Logan in three days.
Why not? Let's go put the polos on and do the line dances ONE LAST TIME!
And, after an amazing week, I was bone tired but feeling good. I am back now to regular life and the harsh reality that I am yet unemployed.
Let the sun break on the horizon! What new adventures lie in store yet for the summer? At this time, I will impulsively follow whatever opportunities knock on my door. Shibang shibang!
