BEST present i could ever receive

Well Christmas was just yesterday and let me tell you, this was one for the books! First of my mom came down stairs at ( no joke) 3:30 A.M.

Don't i look so pretty at 3:30 in the morning?...NOT!

But I still loved seeing my sister, parents and my dog open there gifts. I got my sister a very nice jewelry box, my mother a perse and season tickets to the Deseret Star and she loved those tickets. I got my dad his favorite colone and workout shirts.

My parents got me an AMAZING!!!! chess set ( I am a skilled chess player for those who didn't know) I know they got it from "Pier 1" and I know they spent over 100$ for it. I felt kinda bad...but it looks so cool!

The pieces of the chess set look like ancient Chines warriors ( I know thats not P.C. but what ever)
I am so excited to play my first game on it!

I also got a few other cool things on christmas like and i-Touch

A new book (suppose to be really good)

An awesome leather jacket, but I don't know if i look good in it.

and the best thing I have gotten this year......

Money towards a fish tank! Yap my dad finely is going to let me have a fish tank. I already know what tank I am going to buy with the money that was given to me. When I finely have it set up ill take pictures and make a post a new blog about it.

But my favorite part about christmas is still seeing my family and seeing them open my gifts I got them. I love seeing my grandparents and cousins and playing with the young kids, one of there favorite things to do is trying to pin me in a wrestling match. This year has had some good highs and some bad lows. But all in all I was so happy this Christmas I hope the next year will be even better =)

Just A Reminder

Well today is December 21, 2011. And a Year from now will be the Mayan Calendar ending. This has some people riled up and thinking the world will end. Well I don't know about that but I do know that it has made me think about some things and people I should make amends with. If you have wronged some one weather they were and acquaintance or a past lover that you have wronged or if they think you wronged them you should try to make things right between you and them. Because some times people wrong us and we think less of them. And even if they have done some good to us, it is over shadowed by all they wrong they ever did to us. Don't become a regret of some ones past. Take the time to make things right. Admit your fault and move on. Because there is not greater harm to ones self then being a regret to some one else.

Recommendations

Its been a few days since I have blogged but I have a few fun things to tell you.

First off I went to go see Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. The movie was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! I will go see it again because I love the acting in the movie and the plot itself. If you didn't see the first one its ok, the second movie doesn't really play into the first. But I highly recommend it seeing both because they are amazing movies!

But before I went to the movie I went to a place called "happy Sumo". I went to eat with friends (Annie, Ian, and Sean) and They have the best food I have every had in downtown Salt Lake. They have ribs that have a chocolate ginger BBQ sauce on them and they are to die for. And if you drink they also have many recommended drinks unique to them. 

I might have to take pictures next time of the amazing food and drinks. But until next time I hope you all have a h=Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year

Amicus-Friend

So today was a pretty nice day =) I got my dad, sister, and some other friends gifts for xmas. I love shopping for gifts and wrapping them. I don't know why but I really enjoy it, but it be about the surprise some one will get when they open it.

I also hung out with my good friend sean, he is a nice guy and about 100 times more nerdy then I am. I love like a brother though. We went to this cool park behind Holliday lions. We were going to scare any joggers with this mask I have

But thinking about it I realized that might not be so funny to the joggers and causes problems.

After are adventure in that place we went to wheeler farm and walked around there and just talked about...well every thing. we don't just talk nerd we talk about life, love, religion, ext. Not meny people are as good of friends to me as he is.

I am very lucky to have people like him and my other friends in my life.

DONE!!!

I want to point out how cool this picture is! No it hold no relevant meaning to me or life...it just looks cool or as some one put it as "shweet" haha but that person is pretty cool =)

Well first and formost I am done with school!!!!!!! (for the semester) I am so happy about that. I did pretty good on all my finals so good grade are sure to await. But now that finals are done what will i do with all my free time? Try to get dates (which I am a little rusty at when it comes to meeting women) and hang with friends. Yap thats the story of my life right now.

But kind of crazy things have i done since my first day of school being done! I went to the gym...and thats it lol. Watch out world Tyler Averett has some crazy adventures hahaha not! But seriously The gym was a wonderful time today.

Also I have basically cut my soda intake by half and I actually feel a lot better. even if the smog is causing me to get head aches is still feel pretty good =)

Life = Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have basically have had an amazing week! Even tho it was filled to the brim with homework and studying, I still had few good things happen which just made me week.

First and formost I got a very cute girls number from class and later I find out she's from Vancouver Canada! How awesome is that? Second I have been hanging out with good friends, I mean you can never go wrong with that, And third I watched an amazing movie this week called "The Boondocks Saints".

This movies plot is just amazing and has some of the most amazing lines ever. The movie itself is religiously themed because well the characters kill the wicked and corrupt but they do it for God. I highly recommend it but be warned there is a lot of cussing..I mean A LOT! and only part of brief nudity. But over all an amazing movie.

O and before I forget I want to take the time and give my best wishes to my Friend Elder: William Anderson Who will be going on an LDS Mission to Russia. I know he will do great things there and all of his friends and family are proud of him.

The Unexpected and Unpredictable.

Just the other day I had something happen to me that was something I did not plan for. You see closure is something that is desired but not always attainable. I once desired that so much but didn't get it. But in a twist of ironic fate when I no longer cared to get closure I ended up getting it any way.

So upon thinking about it, I realized that I did good in that relationship. I have no regrets and I would do it all over again. They were the 3 best years of my life, and even tho they are done I hope I will have more great experiences in My life and im sure they are not to far off. Because every one deserves happiness and peace of mind.

But a little good news =)
I am looking forward to laser tagging tonight with a wonderful group of friends and hopefully a certain person as well (my friends are trying to hook me up with some one). I have a good life and I should be happy for it.

Thank you for those good memories, and im sorry for the bad ones.

Finding New Happiness

Ya know at the end of the day, does it really matter if I am mad, sad, jealous, or what ever. I mean why do I care this much? I know its done and over with and even if I left over feeling it doesn't matter. I just need to care about my owen well being. Iv gone through such extremes of anxiety and depression its caused me to loose weight and sleep. I mean my parents have thought about me going to see a psychiatrist to get help so i can regulate my stress. But I honestly am starting to just not care about it any more. sure ill probably still feel weird but it really doesn't matter. I should just try to find a few dates (once I have a social life again) and just be the best I can be. Because in the end does it really matter if I have left over feeling?  Sure i held some importance once but now i need to find some one who will find me to be importante. Sure i had a nice 3 year run but its over and done with. Now i just need to try to find my own happiness, because all I am doing is making myself depressed.

Remember to Forget

as the days are passing It is sad to see that my memories of her are starting to fade. they all are starting to seem like a dream that I can't completely remember. I don't know if this is good or bad. But eventually i won't have to much left but a few good memories a few bad ones and left over feelings of love and longing. 

But even if i have those things I still know that I am strong enough to keep moving. I just have to realize that I am no longer important to that person and they don't want me in there life any more. That person told me "I wish you the best." I replied "I had the best and lost it" Then they said "I wish you better." But I don't think I will be able to do better. I want to so just see and talk and spill my heart out, with a hope that things will work out.

But as much as I would love to have what i had before i know it would be a lie, because i know that they would have just wanted to be with other people, specifically one other person. It hurts to know that you were inadequate and that you weren't enough for some one and thats why you lost the single most important person in you life who you loved unconditionally, But one of the hardest things to get over is how much of what they said to me was a lie? Did they really care for me? What made them fall away form me? What was I lacking? What are their regrets? do they still love me? do they wish they could take it back and how will i know they are telling the truth when i know they already lied to me once before?

Time and just ticks away.

I have been thinking a lot about my potential and my future. I am at my prime and I have so much to live for and I am so happy about that. Every thing happens for a reason even if you don't understand it yet. I am sure there are people who don't believe in fate or god but I do. I know that things can get hard, but with patients and time things will unfold right infront of you and you will know what to do when that happens. I am just happy to have the chance for new experiences and a new life =)

The hole fam-damly.

So Thanksgiving was pretty much amazing! I never get to see my extended family. And of course we tell embarrassing stories about each other and just laugh and eat. One of those things happens to be my Uncle Mikel who wore a onesie!

Also my grandma and mom were already starting to rap some xmas present. They are seriously like twins in the way they act and gossip.

But I had to think what I was thankful for because as of recently I had a lot of things not going my way. But upon thinking I realized I am thankful for my family and friends. They have been such a huge supporter for me especially lately. I am also thankful for the new experiences that will surely come my way and hopefully in the not to distant future =)

truly amazing

Hope, it can be the only thing that can drive us at times. even with your will fails, and your faith shatters. Hope is truly an amazing thing, because hope is not just an emotion or an idea. Hope is a reality, but only if you allow time to tick away second by second. But until hope and time take affect, you must remember that some good and happiness came out of your actions. Although you no longer play any role at least you did something.

The Horizon

Change can be a good thing, but along with change can come heart ache and sorrow. Even if life is seeming bleak and depressing things can and will get better. Its hard to let go of something you loved, when most of your memories of happiness are with a person and you want nothing but to re live those happy times in the past. And losing those things can make you feel inadequate, unimportant, sad, angry, jealous. But those memories are in the past for a reason. keep your eyes on the horizon because you will meet new faces, new friends, and new loves. Because if you keep your eyes in the past you might miss something just as spectacular as you once had. So be strong even if its hard, you must bare the world even if it is crushing you. And when you feel darkness creeping in around you and you feel alone and your in  need of help, your family and friends will be there with open arms and hearts.

Look Beyond

I try to be the best I can be and I try to be nice to people because I believe by nature humans are good. I say this because people choose wrong often because they mistake it for good. People usually have good intentions and because of that I look past the fault or mistake of a person and look at them in the simplest form.  Look at a persons heart and you will truly know who they are.

Labor Day = No School

Just a nice relaxing day off of school doing what I love to do most. Which is researching salt water aquarium info and hanging out with my girl friend.

 That is shannah to my left. She is an awesome person. She is cute, funny and I absolutely love her =)

We took this picture when we were walking to a Seven-Elven so I could get a Dr. Pepper (my Absolute favorite drink) and we just messed around with the camera on the way up.

 This is Grimley. He is the best friend any one could have. He is looking at me with anticipation because he knew tomorrow was labor day and he could just lounge around all day...which he does every day hahaha.

 He has the right idea

All in all this day was nice. spent time with the family, dog and significant other. Life has been good to me =)

Im an optomist

I see a puppy

Crazy stuff!

So last night around 9:30 at night. A friend and I went to a creepy swampy forest near my house and I have been their many times before. But Last night was different because we were being followed! I was terrified. I will take a video camera next time I go so every one can see how sketchy it is.

My First Step

This is the very first Blog I have ever started and as you can guess from the title, this blog will be about life. Specifically my life and experiences. I will talk about my achievements, goals, dreams, and a plethora of other things. But your probably wondering who I am? Well I am a 20 year old guy who loves to watch the adult-swim network, play video games, swim and be with friends. I am a simple man with simple needs.
