I just had a conversation on AIM that was totally the perfect example of irony. I've never talked to nor heard of this guy before.

Some of you may know that for the last three months I have been doing P90X. Today was my last day, and I have my 0-30-60-90 day pictures right here for you.A couple quick stats from the last 90 days...Weight: 192 pounds to 176 poundsBody fat: 24% to 16%Farmer's tan: Yep, still thereI'm definitely not "done" getting into shape. I'd like to drop another 12-14 pounds of body fat and gain some more

Lately there have been so many news reports about car-to-bicycle accidents in the Salt Lake area. And then on top of that, some of them include hit-and-runs--three or four that I can think of right now--but even one is too many. At least some people take responsibility for their actions and stop. Well, I don't live right in Salt Lake (I live and work in Sandy, a suburb), but let's chalk up yet

For the last little while, I've been saying/thinking, "I'm not going to eat at KFC anymore. The food is just too greasy, and I always feel like a fat pig when I'm done eating there." It's quite true. The chicken is way too greasy, and no one should be taking in that much fat in one meal. But of course this is the USA, so people do it. I must admit that KFC's macaroni and cheese is the best

The other day I was having an unusual conversation, and I had a question about history... well, you'd think the question would have resolved itself within the conversation, but we were never able to come up with an answer. It's going to take some research to really figure it out. But what I'm wondering is... at what point did we start using last names? I've never read in the Bible or the Book

I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I recently had that experience...Somebody (identity will remain left unsaid) was talking, and it just sounded so dull to me that first I started to think

Okay... you start a conversation with somebody... and that person doesn't care about what you have to say.So, that person decides to express their apathy toward the topic at hand, so they tell you, "I could care less about that." That's pretty dumb. Why do they say they could care less about it if they don't care at all? They're implying that they care some amount, which is not at all what

Yesterday was pretty warm here in good ol' Salt Lake... it actually got up to 77 degrees, which is 12 above the average. The thing about yesterday, though... it looked all gloomy outside and just had a cold feeling... up until the point I actually stepped out the door.Now for today, at 12:00, I look outside and think it's still nice and warm (or at least a decent temperature). So I go on to

Last night I got home and wanted to get my bike all ready to ride and stuff. My new bike is a lot like the old bike I had, but as I mentioned yesterday, I did upgrade the pedals to something a bit nicer. Of course the new pedals required some special shoes to go with them... shoes that lock onto the pedals instead of just fitting into an external toe clip or something.Well, I had never used

So, yesterday I was sitting in class, and my teacher was looking around for a laser pointer so she could point to stuff on the screen. Sadly enough, she couldn't find one, so she just had to point with her fingers. As she had her back to the class, I took my laser pointer and put in on the screen. Her reaction was pretty awesome... "Who has that?!" You kinda had to be there to get the whole

Well, it's about time... I finally got my new bike. I actually bought it yesterday, but I didn't have a way to get it home. I figured I'd let them change out my pedals for the 50/50 clip/platform pedals until I could pick up the bike anyway. Anyway, today my friend Jake took me out to the bike shop in Taylorsville, and we got it back to my house.I've been anxious to get this bike for so long..

My good buddy Kevin and I were having one of our obscure conversations (not a rare occurrence) this evening, and somehow we got on the topic of IP Relay.For those who don't know, IP Relay is a free service provided for deaf people. The deaf person goes online and chats with a person who will then call the deaf person's friend. This person relays messages back and forth between the two parties.

Probably the best purchases I've made recently... the Insignia Pilot and Insignia Bluetooth Wireless Behind-the-Head Headphones. It's cool to have my MP3 player next to me and my headphones on but have nothing connecting the two. Something tells me, though, that I'll be listening to headphones a lot more often now. These will be especially nice when I get my bike.Yay for the Best Buy

There's just something about it... I just can't get enough of Simple Plan's music. Now before you decide not to read this entry just because you think the music you like is so much cooler than "emo" stuff, I just ask that you open your mind a bit.So what if Pierre Bouvier has whiny-sounding vocals? And of course it's also important to look past some of their "complainy" songs (Worst Day Ever,

I just watched the Jazz beat the Rockets in game 4 of the series (now 3-1, woohoo!), and after the game they were doing a quick interview with Carlos Boozer.One thing that Boozer said in the interview while talking about the upcoming game 5 was, "It's gonna be a blast out there in Houston..."For some reason the word "blast" really stuck out to me. After all... they're playing the Rockets.

Very soon many people in the country will see an extra $300, $600, or $1200 to their name thanks to a sweet tax rebate to help kick start this country's economy. This isn't money you're supposed to put into a savings account. This isn't money you're supposed to gamble away. This isn't money you're supposed to keep in your wallet so it looks like you're rich.

Seinfeld, among the best sitcoms ever created, has some really funny situations to which many of us can somehow relate. There's always something in our own lives that has probably somehow been put into a Seinfeld episode. One thing about Seinfeld, though, is the group of friends often seems to get into some crazy situation because they had no way of communicating with each other. The airport

People say some dumb things. I'm not saying people are dumb (That's a different subject), but they say things not realizing that what they're saying is unnecessarily repetitive.

Okay, I realize it's an odd question, but I have a point here, so just stick with me and hear me out.If you're a guy and you're a jerk, then it's possible that you would answer yes to this question, but anybody with any decency waves and talks to the FACE when they see somebody.I just saw a commercial for McDonald's new Premium Roast Iced Coffee, a commercial which I've seen many times before,
