Random randomness
So here are just a few things I've thought about posted but never did. Hope you've got a few free minutes to read through it all.
First, I always wanted to photoshop this picture after Mar drew attention to it and mentioned it looks like she's running from something horrible. Sorry, Mar, but I had to. No hard feelings, right?
And this a picture of something from a conversation we had in Moab. It still makes me laugh. "The hooves of a bear!"
So remember when I was tagged by Sloanie? Yeah, it was a while ago. But here are my responses anyway.
Four jobs you have had in your life:
• Little Caesar’s Pizza. First job ever. The work sucked, but we got to eat every pizza we messed up. Which was a lot of pizza.
• Heather’s Gourmet Market. Good times working with the Sloans. And I’m with Sloanie on this one, you can’t beat a hot pastrami sandwich on a baca roll. Man, that’s good eatin.
• Windows West. My first non-food related job. I built blinds for windows. This is where I picked up all the Spanish I know (which is very little).
• 1-800 CONTACTS. Worked here from right off the mission until 5 years later. Great company to work for. Free gym (in fact, you got stuff for working out there), great cafeteria, and they even paid for the marathons I ran. Throw in a 401(k) and stock options. It was a hard place to leave.
Four movies you could watch over and over:
• Braveheart. It’s funny, no matter how many times I’ve seen it, I still have to sit down and watch it every time I see it on TV. FREEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!
• The Matrix. The whole scene when Neo and Trinity go back into the matrix to save Morpheus is one of the coolest sequences ever put on film.
• The original Star Wars Trilogy. What can I say? It’s just a classic.
• The Ring. I love scary movies, and this is my favorite. It’s funny how people either loved or hated this movie. It seriously got under my skin the first time I watched it, though. I remember dropping the Sloans off at their house after seeing it, and I drove home as fast as I could. I just kept looking into my rearview mirror expecting Samara to pop her head up in my back seat. I’ve never had a movie effect me that much – before or since.
Four places you've lived:
• Sandy, UT - born and raised. I was there over the weekend and it was strange. You know the feeling of being in your grandparents’ neighborhood? How it’s sort of familiar but detached? It’s just me? Well, I got that feeling going to my parents’ house now. Strange.
• Provo, UT – Lived there while going to UVSC. And I’m with Sloanie on this one – glad I don’t live there anymore.
• Cedar City, UT. – I’m finishing up my master’s degree here now. Great place. Nice little town with about everything you need and without the things you don’t. Except for Costco, and the St. George Costco is just 40 mins away. I have a feeling it will be too big for my tastes soon, though.
• Maryland – served a mission for my church there. The East coast is beautiful, as long as you stayed out of the city. I’d love to go back some day. If only to hike the Appellation Trail.
Four TV Shows You Love To Watch That Are Still On The Air:
• Lost. Great show. Every week it seems like one question is answered and three new ones pop up.
• The Simpsons. I’m like a lot of people that think the Simpsons should have been taken off the air years ago. It’s painful to watch a show slowly die. But, as a diehard fan, I still try to watch the new episodes.
• Law and Order. I’m still a sucker for the crime dramas. The original L&O did it best, in my opinion.
• Ummmm….the nightly news?
Four TV Shows You Love That Are Off The Air:
• Arrested Development. Sad to see it gone so soon. Only three seasons and it’s cancelled. I just love how random this show is. Every character is a hypocrite and a scum bag, but I love them all.
• Cartoons. All the old cartoons I’d watch after school and Saturday mornings – Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, TMNT, The Real Ghostbusters, etc.
• Ren & Stimpy. In a class of its own.
Places you've been on vacation:
• Hawaii. Going there in December…woohoo!
• Washington state.
• Moab, UT.
• Mexico.
Four of your favorite foods:
• Spicy Grilled Pork from Sam Hawk. About the worst thing in the world is picking up some deji while driving from Cedar to Sandy, only to get stuck in Provo traffic while the deji sits on the car seat next to you. Its aroma quickly fills the car and gently tempts you to just pull over and dig in.
• Shrimp Pesto. I love about anything with shrimp in it, but noodles and pesto were made to be shrimp’s best buddies.
• My dad’s BBQ’d ribs. Melt-off-the-bone good. My dad always makes a few racks so there are always tons of leftovers for rib sandwiches and stuff.
• Pizza Benders from Italian Village. I don’t go there nearly often enough. I’m salivating right now just thinking of it.
• Honorable mention – Orange chicken from Panda Express.
Four places you'd rather be right now:
• Up in the mountains hiking or camping.
• Cozy in bed, sleeping or playing my gameboy.
• Doing pretty much anything in Hawaii.
• Ummmm… did I mention Hawaii?
Four sites you visit daily:
• Ebaum’s world.
• Various blogs of friends.
• Finance.yahoo.com to check my stocks.
• Fark.com. It’s not news, it’s Fark.com.
Some more random pictures that make me laugh.
And a couple last thoughts. #1, you know you're bored when you start to think that going around in the middle of the night and covering up the "r" in "No shirt" on all local business's doors is a good idea. And #2, Jell-O in sprite is not as delicious as it sounds.

Hehehe, oh man, what an awesome post. Love the pic of Mar being chased by domokun, and the hooved bear. Just remembering that camping trip cracks me up.
I also love that spicy grilled pork is on the top of your list of favorite foods ;) Your dad's ribs sounds dang good though... I've been craving ribs for a while now. As far as shrimp goes... I had some of that spicy stuff up on the North Shore again, dang that's good shrimp. And have you ever had the Crispy Honey Shrimp from PF Changs? It reminds me a little of orange chicken from panda only so much better, mmm.... melt-in-your-mouth good.
ah, you're kind.
but no, I haven't ever had the Crispy Honey Shrimp. sounds dang good, tho, I'll have to give it a try sometime. and I did love that northshore shrimp. I just remember having to drink something after every bite. man, that was spicy!
well, at least you can take comfort in the fact that the dude in the yellow shorts is totally going to get eaten first. oh, and my picture on the 'crazy pills' blog 'moab again' post is totally up for editing if you feel the need for revenge.
I, too, got a kick out of your post, Jeff - until I got to the bottom of the entry and saw a picture of a little girl crying under the caption 'no, you can't have a pony' - that was so sad! Then the bunny (or whatever that thing is) eating the cookie was cute, and then the picture of Pres. Bush getting ready to chomp on a cat was... well, disturbing! Hehehe...
Mar--
Now if domokun WAS made of chocolate... what a great metaphor Jeff would have created as your fitness efforts are aimed at escaping the dangers of chocolate. Hmmm....
man, i wish i would have done a chocomonster now. oh, well.
and mel, i can't believe you don't like the bottom pictures! they all crack me up.
I love that picture of the bunny. its so precious. kinda like your blog pic, heeble. precious.
oh, man, i'm gunna have to step up the un-precious factor for future posts. i post pics of monsters and bears and the president eating animals and you pick out the picture that's precious (OK, the dog's pretty cute, too).
I LOVE the picture of president Bush eating a bunny wabbit. waka waka waka. that kills me.
