So today is our no email day. They never said anything about no blogs. So here we are.
You know what makes for a really bad day…you’re lying in critical condition in a hospital and then plane that was supposed to deliver your organs crashes. I imagine that would be the worst day ever!
Hey Utah… the word is WASH…not warsh, as in I’m warshing my clothes…no there is no R. I just happened to notice that the other day in some locals and just thought I’d comment.
Does anyone else in America call a movie a show? For example, “I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid the other day, that is a great show.” I know that personally where I come from we would say that it was a great movie. A show to us is what you watch once a week. For example, I love The Office, that is such a great show! Again, just some more of my commentary on the lingo of the locals.
I truly know now that I am indeed in the 5th circle of Mormon hell…and how do I know that…because it has been hotter than Hades up in this joint. 90 some odd degrees and it’s only May. I know that tolerate heat much better than cold…but this is just ridiculous. It also felt pretty humid yesterday…and I know it’s pathetic when humid is 25% humidity…because that’s what it was the other day and it felt stifling.
So I saw a pretty creative vanity plate the other day. I need to preface it with this…the man was driving a white ford bronco…I can only assume it was the correct year model…and the vanity plate said NOWAYOJ. I thought it was funny.
There is a sewer plant south of Salt Lake that is going to try turning raw sewage back into water. *Note to self, don’t drink the water…for more than one reason now.*
There was a gianormous gay pride parade in SLC this past weekend. I have no problem with that...but what I can’t comprehend is how the most republican conservative state in the country with a center of a church that hates gays…can have such a huge rally? At least this one was bigger than the Death to Israel rally held last summer.
As if I needed another reason to not vote for Mitt Romney, I pulled this article from KSL.com ( the good Mormon’s news station)….
It's not a belief that's endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and yet some people believe that if Mitt Romney is elected president, he's destined to do a great thing.
There's growing talk Mitt Romney could be the one to fulfill a so-called prophecy and save the U.S. Constitution. Mormon myth claims Joseph Smith prophesied that in the last days the constitution would hang by a thread and a Mormon on a metaphorical white horse would ride in to save it.
The LDS Church in the past has discounted this "White Horse Prophecy," saying it is not doctrine. Romney told the Salt Lake Tribune he doesn't believe it, either.
Yeah, I bet you don’t believe it Romney…you’re just being humble…like every good Mormon should be…you know that if you got elected you would show up at the inauguration on a white horse.
Here’s my political endorsement…Don’t vote Romney in 08. Ok, done.
In other news: Heelys. I hate them. Every undisciplined urchin out here has them…if they are cool…which so many of them strive to be…so that like they can totally be the awesomest Mormon around. Anyways. There is a new study out that kids should be wearing helmets, knee pads and wrist guards. Awesome…so when that urchin in the mall plows into me…I can then sue his parents for damage to my gut caused by his helmet. Moving on…
Hey KSL…stop trying to use smart words. Here’s another article I pulled off of KSL.com…
Cedar City Cracks Down on Truant Pooches
June 4th, 2007 @ 6:28am
CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) -- Cedar City officials are trying to crack down on dogs running loose and causing nuisances -- some have even killed livestock.
The city recently passed new ordinances that include higher fines for owners if their dogs are found running free.
Recently two loose dogs attacked a family's pet goats, killing one of them.
The new Iron County ordinance states that dogs allowed to run at large may be destroyed by the sheriff's office.
It also says the owner could be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $300. Vicious dogs-at-large may incur higher fines, and their owners would be required to pay restitution for damaged property.
The dogs that attacked the goats were taken to an animal shelter. They were returned to their owners who were cited with hefty fines.
When I first read this story I thought hmm truant…that sounds like someone who doesn’t come to school. So then I looked it up on Webster.com. Here’s the official definition according to Webster.com… truant- one who shirks duty; especially : one who stays out of school without permission. To me that sounds like the opposite of what these dogs are doing. If they were truant they would be laying under a porch somewhere…but a dogs duty is to attack things and that’s what they are doing. Honestly, story writers stop reading the book of mormon and please make sure you are using words that are appropriate for your story…don’t try to sound smart...the same people that read your story on ksl.com are the same ones that are able to vote party line with one touch of a button…I don’t think they will be impressed by smart verbage.
It’s supposed to be 90 here today…that is supposed to feel like July 27th…tomorrow it will be 50 and feel like April 4th. Awesome.
I can’t think of anything else to post right now…but twice in one week is definitely a record for me!
That is all!

Dear Ms. House,
It's good to see my tax dollars at work reading other news.
Crap...that last one posted before I was done. But whatever.
That dog article was not bad writing, it was lazy writing. All the fancy words weren't put in there to impress. All the fancy words were "cop talk". Real people don't use words like "running loose and causing nuisances". But cop's do. Whatever good momo that wrote that just swiped it from some police press release, and didn't take the time to actually rewrite it. So don't give them credit for being smarter than they are. They're actually just lazy.
On another note, angst much?
