The 4th of July celebrations have come to an end this year. I got to go to two BBQ’s and then go to the Pleasant Grove fireworks show with Elishia, Chad, Choch and other members of Chad’s family. It was really good this year for a few reasons. 1) They held it at the PG Jr. High instead of the High School and 2) Well… perhaps I shouldn’t say. Haha. The fire department handed out little foam balls and footballs that we through around to pass the time that were pretty fun. Chad got a real football and was playing catch with his nephew till he accidentally hit a handicapped child in the face with it, breaking his glasses and giving him a bloody nose. You’re free to comment about how big of a D-bag he is in the comments section. The fireworks started shortly after that and went for probably 20 minutes or so. Afterward we packed up and went to my house where Chad and Choch played some Call of Duty and Elishia and I went for a scooter ride. I was in the neighborhood of an old friend so I stopped to say hello and chatted with his family for a bit. It was a fun night full of awkward moments (Choch & Kylie) and laughing.
I’d like to know how much it costs the city to put on a fireworks show every year. Its funny that they can shell out that kind of money for fireworks but they can’t pave a decent street. Freakin’ Danials.
A little bit ago my friend Haylee gave me this girl Kiarra’s number and told me to give her a text. I started texting her and quickly realized her and I had alot in common like… we both love Cocoa Krispies, Zoolander, BMW’s and alot of other stuff. After talking to her for a few days we decided to go out to eat yesterday so I took her to Tucano’s. It was excellent. She had never been there and was confused on how they do things so it was funny. We sat there and talked for a while because she had to be home at 7ish. With an hour left I drove around and I showed here where Chad, Choch and I will be moving into, and I also let her take a spin at driving my car because she’s never drivin a manual. She did really good too, she never even stalled it. Later that night Regen, Chad and I went and picked her up in Regens enourmous truck. That was fun because its fast and really loud. We went back to PG and I took her on a scooter ride and we all met back at my house because Chad and Regen wanted to play Call of Duty. It was a good time, I really really enjoyed it ;) haha
Yesterday I got the opportunity to drive down to Manti with Chad and his parents to go to the Mormon Miracle Pageant. It was alot of fun, the drive down there took a while but Mitch and Terri kept us entertained with some of their stories. When we got there we still had a few hours before it started so we went and got food at this little stand that they had up. When you walk towards the Temple and to the seats, your engulfed with these people trying to tell you that what you’ve been told you whole life is a lie. Thats OK though because its easy to just shrug them off and not care to much about what they’re saying. Then when we were just walking around you notice the LDS people that get into a little “spiritual deathmatch” trying to prove each other wrong. I don’t know why the protesters bother showing up, all they do is anger people, I can’t imagine them actually converting someone to their religion. One of the parts that stood out to me was a little stunt the FLDS pulled by having 34 or so women walk single-file, around and through the crowds with signs hanging from their neck saying which number wife they were to Joseph Smith, what their story was, and how old they were. Then they lined up in front of the entrance of the pageant so people would notice. The next part that amazes me is the immaturity of both LDS and all the other faiths that were there. We were walking through the crowd and noticed this guy with a yellow 
shirt on, preaching about the lies the LDS religion teaches. He was very energetic, and very loud. He knew how to draw attention to himself and he did just that. People were circled all around him asking him questions that he would only partly answer, or completely ignore. Then when he would try to prove his point or to get support, instead of asking someone he knew was LDS, he asks his supporters that were mixed into the crowd. Chad and I were making comments about how this guy was embarrassing himself unaware that some older guy was by us evesdropping. This guy turns around and starts questioning us about what this guy is doing wrong and why I would mock him, when somewhere in the scriptures states to not mock. I just 
shook my head and laughed, because honestly, I just don’t care. Then we looked back into the “religious moshpit” and noticed a LDS guy was walking around with the preacher imitating him, and making a scene that attracted attention from his supporters. The other faith’s quickly jumped in to hinder the LDS man from interrupting the preacher. Isn’t what that what the protesters are doing to our pageant? The LDS guy did make an idiot out of himself but had no intention to harm anyone, but the local Police didn’t think so. In the beginning when he jumped in to start his imitation, the police quickly came over and watched to see if anything would happen. In my opinion, when you have to have Police come to religious events, I think there might be a problem. Both sides acted pretty ridiculous and immature. The other faiths would have nothing to say, nothing to do if we didn’t listen to them. Everyone should’ve just ignored them, and gone on Temple grounds to eat or sit.
The actual Mormon Miracle Pageant was pretty good, I’ve never seen it before. I don’t know if I’d go again because of how both sides acted towards each other, but its always good to experience it I guess. I’m just surprised there wasn’t a fight.
It’s time for something new, something exciting. Chad, Choch and I will be moving out July 7th so thats pretty new and exciting. I’m changing my website, that’s new and exciting. Probably the newest, and most um… excitingest thing of all, is that I am getting promoted soon. I’ve worked hard for it and have come a long, long way since last November. You can’t say I haven’t Bryan.
If you have anything else that is new or exciting, please share…
Yesterday Chad’s dad, Big-D needed some help with his house, so Chad asked me to go. I agreed thinking that maybe we’d move some furniture, or paint or just help move crap, I quickly found out none of that was true.
On the way over to Big-D’s house, Chad and I got caught in hail. That royally sucked because we were on our scooters going 40. It was cold, and the little pieces of hail stung the face and arms. Once we were at Chad’s Dad’s, we got in a car and went over to Chad’s, Step-sisters home where we found pallets and pallets of sod just waiting for us to move it. I’m wearing good clothes and flip flops. This was the first time I’d ever laid sod so it was quite the experience. I’m beat up today, and very sore. Thank you Dave for that little experience….
Last Thursday I had my High School graduation at the Marriot Center. Its as boring as everyone says it would be except when we were walking down to get our diploma. That was pretty cool. After it all I visited with a bunch of friends and took some pictures. Here are a couple but there will be family pictures up when I get them. My family, Chad, Terry, Camille, Karbear, Corndog, Candice & Stephanie all showed up to see me walk. UNFORTUNATELY, Big M couldn’t make it. When all the graduates walked out Camille and her parents were waiting for me with a hug and a cool necklace thing made out of candy and money. I loved it! Then her parents got me a pretty cool card & even more money because they are awesome! Unfortunately they didn’t come with my family to Maglebee’s after I returned my gown, Chad tagged along with our family however. I got myself a huge piece of their famous chocolate cake.
I loved it all, It was fun! Thank you everyone!
Earlier this week, we all got mopeds! From the left it goes my silver one, Regen’s, Haylee’s, then Chad’s. We got them for a steal too which is good. A place in American Fork called Less Stress Powersports, is selling them for under $1200 total. Title, license, everything is included in that price. There is also red and blue available but none of us went with those colors. It really needs to warm up because the last few days that we’ve been crusin’ around on these things have been cold! The weather doesn’t stop us though. The other day we went wandering over to Cabela’s and got some beef jerky. Yesterday we went all the way out to Saratoga Springs, then to Provo mall. It was a long, cold, wet ride. We got rained on but pulled over to a church till it stopped. Today Haylee, Regen and I went to our graduation practice at the Merriot Center at BYU. It felt good because it started to get warm today but then it got cold, again. This summer is going to rock with these things. I probably fill up twice a week, and it costs $4 to fill up the tank. These things get 80 MPG and can go about 60 MPH, just quick enough for state.
I’ve come to find out that people mock mopeds, yet when they drive them, they love them. Funny how that works.
Yesterday was Regen’s birthday! He’s now 19. I gotcha somethin’ tasty big guy…

Today we all went and practiced our gangsta’ shooting out on the West side of Utah Lake. We brought a Ruger .45, a .357, a couple shotguns, and a .22 rifile. I’ve always wanted to shoot a handgun and they are so much harder than a shotgun. We brought some clay pigeons too and we had a good time shootin’ them up. Choch was probably the best since he goes out shooting alot. The handguns were really loud, way louder than the shotguns. We all acted pretty cool and shot our handguns sideways but they are really hard to aim. Even when you are shooting it normal, they are really really hard to keep stable because of it’s nasty recoil. All I know is that when a whitey comes up rollin’ in on his dubs, I’m gunna need some protection after I be done eyeballin’ his peice. Hopefully I won’t have to cap a sucka’. Haha… Ahhh, I’m so white.
