5 year High School reunion... Seriously, who the hell is going to go to that?! Well, probably me but still! It's this Saturday and I don't even have a date that can charade as a girlfriend because anybody that we'd see would know it's a lie because we went to school together! Ahh!!!

So, on a related side note, I have been getting a lot of "add me's" on myspace and facebook recently from people I used to know in High School. I think the spike is a direct result of the reunion. But 5 years?! Seriously people. I'm going because of the catered food. Everyone else is going because... I don't know... Why not just wait until the 10 year reunion? Isn't that the standard time of waiting before you see how F***ed up everyone's life is? With Viewmont, I really think everyone is still in that same mindset. I should know because I run into people when I visit B-Town. Nobody grows up, excpet for (fka) Megan Davies and a few others. One thing that REALLY has surprised me is everyone that has added me recently from High School has gotten fat. Ok, maybe not fat but they've gained a few pounds. And by a few, I mean like 20. That is something I seriously don't understand. It's like ballooning overnight to me because 5 years is NOT that long. I have this ex that added me but she gained like, 30 lbs. She looks like she's in her late 30's!!! How do people allow that to happen to themselves? Is it apathy? I knew obesity in America was a problem but damn! I'd expect these changes after marriage because you don't have time for anything but your children (this is Utah, I'm allowed to say that) or because your wife can cook better than anyone (you don't count Mickie. I know your cooking rocks, Matt just eats enough for two and won't ever show it) but what if you're still single, going to school, working, etc? Wouldn't you take some extra time to work out? Wouldn't you take some time and eat healthy? Anyway, this rant went on for entirely too long but I'm just amazed. I really didn't expect those changes in these people. One more proof that I'm getting old. Praise Allah I only look 12 still. :)

So I'm going to Layton tomorrow to get a facial, but for my back. That's how my friend explained it to me. I didn't want to sound stupid not knowing what a facial was so I thought that I'd write here. Maybe you two people that actually read this (Mickie and Laura) blog will get a kick out of it. I was thinking I should probably google it but I'm kinda excited going and not knowing. It's not like they're going to wax my back right? I've heard of waxing before and I'm sure they call it waxing, not a facial. Or a back-ial. The whole point in going is that my friend has this chick friend she wants me to meet. She's going to be the one giving me the back-ial (since I don't know what it's called, we'll continue to use this terminology. Educate me with the real term and I'll use that. :p). She cute, nice and I'm not meeting her in a bar. (2 pts!) Anyway, I think I'll have to take off my shirt so I hope I don't blind her. Unless you can do a back-ial with your shirt on. But I don't think that's the case because your face isn't covered... So, if facial = back-ial then unclothed face = unclothed back, right? I'm a genius when it comes to this logic stuff. I should probably do something about these "shoulder pads" too that I have. I saw this commercial on TV for Veet. It's supposed to be this hair removal formula that you remove with a plastic tool. I think I'm going to buy that and try and con a friend into helping me. I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it using this fun, new product especially if I let them take pictures. And all this for a back-ial. I'm starting to appreciate what you women do for us men. Seriously. You guys have to be doing crap to your bodies non-stop to help skin or hair or this or that. I'm 23 and I still hear about new treatments or new procedures! It's nuts!!! And what's more amazing is that every woman that I talk to knows about all this stuff... It truly is wisdom in God to make me a man. I couldn't keep up with all this chick crap. I have a hard enough time trying to keep up with all the new poke'mon in the fantasy world (didn't mean to spoil that for anyone that thought poke'mon were real...), and if I can't catch 'em all, how would I ever know all these chick treatments?! So, thank you to the women for making yourselves beautiful. I wonder where else Veet can remove hair besides my back...

So I don't know how to message back on this so I'm posting my comments of previous comments at the end of each blog.

3 things. 1. Are you preggers yet? Seriously, it's not only the cool thing to do but time's a wastin'. ;) 2. Thanks for reading and commenting on the blogs here. Sometimes they're long. 3. I was talking about the latest girl that I met at the bar. The one that actually sang karaoke. Anyway, we did talk about her but her name doesn't really matter because I think I probably shouldn't think about her for a while.... How's life at Meridian?

I love your soap box. Continue to use your soap box. :) Thanks for your comments because I REALLY needed a pick-me-up. Oh, and nobody talks about music because they all think that you think that every good song is by Bon jovi. ;) jk I'll try to stop by on my way home from work or something and say hello. I get off around 2:30pm each day. Do you make Shane read these blogs too? I'm writing them partially because he told me to...
