I have long been known for my head full of random facts, and often seemingly pointless information. Recently some of the work folks sorta jokingly called me "Josh-ipidiea" and while I am reluctant to compare myslef to an encyclopedia, I will say that the biggest reason I am able to find awnsers to things is because I LOOK.
I spend a great deal of my mental capacity thinking through 100 different scenarios for any given situation, and then I try and solve each of them. You cant be affraid to try! I have destroyed my share of things, but I really think that for the most part those "sacrifices" have paid off. I have learned my limits, and my resources. I mean this is 2010 so WHEN I get stumped I generaly turn to my "bag of tricks" like the few hundred people on my Facebook list. And if I cant find someone there who specializes in my problem, I turn to the ole google... Lets face it, in this day in age, funding is the only thing that keeps most of us from building our own space ships based on Googled instructions.
I am loving my job, and they seem to be tolerating my daily demands for a raise, and some hardware upgrades. I think they have learned that I always show up the next morning no matter how many times they regect me. LOL
Spent the weekend helping my Dad do some landscaping modification to Grandmas house. We spent a great deal of time exploring the Volcanic side of Millard County... Always a treat!
I realized today I am not doing so well with the follow up with some of my recently reconnected old friends. I have had several really exciting friends find me latley, and I have been a bit of a lame about getting them all caught up on my life...
I have a birthday comming up! WooHoo?!? I want to go on a Cruise, buy a new Mtn. Bike, and make passionate love to some amazing lover for hours on end to Celebrate. But I am guessing, Ill head down to be with the family, have a steak dinner, and go to bed early. Thats just the way it seems to work these days...
On a side note, I got a new mouse for my work computer today... Its AWESOME!
Love yall!

I cant wait to let me 6 year old drive my 3 year old around on the 4 Wheeler...
NOT! Your a complete dumbass if you have ever even thought about doing that. Lets review a few scenarios.
Scenario A: 6 year old makes it around camp, over a few dunes, and down to the candy store and back with lil brother on the back without any trouble. No one get hurts life is good. 6 year old gains confidence in his riding ability, and decides to take the neighbors 4 year old to the Candy Store next time. The dont stop at the stop sign, get T boned by a Truck hauling a Horse Trailer, both Children Die. Your 6 year old just killed the Neighbor boy.
Scenario B: 6 year old Crashes just outside of Camp, not a bad crash, but enough to scare everyone. No one is seriously injured, and the 4 wheeler is just fine. But because the 6 year old realizes he just hurt his little brother he Never wants to ride again. And the 3 year old will always be afraid of Kids just a little older than him. Dont think so? Try it I dare ya. You know own a Kids sized four wheeler that will not be used, and you couldnt conciously risk another familys Children by selling it to someone else.
You get my point folks. Kids are fun. ATV's are fun. But wrecked ATV's and Hurt Kids are about the 2 worst things I can think of at the moment.
Wear you helmet, dont be stupid, and drink lots of fluid! Enjoy the Ride.

Its not because I havent had anything to say....
I always have a mind full of thoughts and opinions, but sometimes I need to be prompted to but them down in my blog....
As you probubly know by now, I attempted some really cool manuvers with my body, and landed myself in the ole ER with a broken collar bone. Honestly its not that bad now, Im just a little careful with it, but once you get used to not being able to sleep on your back, side, stomach, head, feet, sitting up, or laying down its not so bad!
On a VERY happy note, my 401k made $0.48 cents last quarter. I knew I should have taken that money to Wendover... hahahaha...
While I actualy think that Aprox 99.9% of the people that read this crap I write are Women, I am going to have to vent for just a second. SO if you are an Emotional, Manipulative, or Indicisive Woman, please dont read the following paragraph:
Why are most Girls convinenced that the only way to get a guys attention is to plot a complicated "Needs" based relationship? Do they not realize that we can see through all the things that "need" us for? Honestly, maybe I have just had way to many Survivalist type Women in my life to really get this, but in short I am NOT flattered that you need me to make every dicision. You dont need to create a need for me, or tell me how much you need me. And dont ever try to show me that I need you. Ill throw that one right back in your face faster than you've ever imagined. Now if you care to make a resonable attempt at exploring a real relationship, I have a few suggestions. First of all, It is perfectly ok to WANT to do something, I may or may not want to do it as well, but I will know with certainty how you feel about it. "Kinda Wanting" or "Thinking about" gives me the idea that you are sharing every thought that runs through your head, and I file it away as such. Also, its ok to disagree, I actualy enjoy a friendly discussion about differences, Im almost imposible to offend, some people like me, some people dont. But I actualy like MOST people. And lastly, I am a real person, with real feelings, and I am reasonably inteligent... If you want to know something about me, or how I feel about something, just ask. Ill tell you. And most of the time Ill be respectable about it. You wont get anywhere trying to trick me into telling you what you want to know without asking.
OK Im back, or continuing on for those who skipped my potentialy offensive Rant...
Life if Great at Present as far as I am concerned. I am really enjoying my work, and the everyday challenges it brings. I feel as if mentaly this has been just what the Doctor ordered. It has sharpend my mind, and my skills, back to where they belong.
Speaking of Doctors, I have an appointment next week, I am excited! I have lost just a little weight, which was needed, and I feel good in that regard. My energy level however is a joke. And its not bouncing back as quickly as I had hoped. After a full day of work I am spent. I have just enough left to get home, eat, maybe do a quick load of laundry and go to bed. I hope to get back to running soon. The weather is nice, and my legs are begging for it...
I took Grams for a short road trip recently, it was a Great time! We went and did some Southern Utah Exploring. Just Her and I... It was a great trip! Hope to get a few more adventures in with her before it gets to hot outside.
Speaking of getting hot outside, Im preparing to release my Opinion on Global Warming, and the Kyoto Protocol.
Stay tuned!
