le mondial

i just felt like writing a few of my thoughts down on this beautiful saturday, while i am watching the world cup - le mondial...

1. i'm watching the usa play ghana. 90 minutes have passed, and they are tied 1 to 1. i guess they can't leave it at a tie for this game, so they are playing another 30 minutes. if we win, i just might name my second born son landon donavon, and make him play soccer. (my first born is going to be named bode, and will ski.)

2. i have decided that internet dating does NOT work. now, this is going to be somewhat of a rant. but i already have deleted my profiles on all but one lds dating site, due to the fact that that the only guys who decide to flirt with me are from africa or the middle east. don't get me wrong, i am not opposed to people from other countries. however, i am not your ticket to being able to come to the united states. it's like my mission all over again. my question is how come there isn't a good american boy out there? somewhat local, so we can at least go on a date without someone having to get a visa... anyhow...

3. it looks like it might possibly rain today. those of you who read this who live anywhere else may not be able to appreciate the change in humidity when clouds form over the desert. but even a little moisture in the air is definitely perceptible. i think the biggest reason being that the swamp coolers don't work as well. but it makes for a beautiful sky. and i didn't have to put so much lotion on today. and did i mention that i love the smell?

4. last night i dreamt that i was weeding the garden and taking down wallpaper and painting and such. man, i was disappointed when i woke up and none of it had been done. plus i was already tired from doing it in my head.

5. here's a picture from one of my latest adventures, hiking to anasazi arch outside of aztec.

weird dreams

so normally i don't remember dreams at all. as in never. but the other night i had a dream that was apparently very memorable. here goes...

i was in my bedroom back at my parents house, trying to pack things. but every once in awhile, something, like a shirt or a blanket, or whatever, would burst into flames. randomly. i would put it out, but it wouldn't be very long til something else was on fire. i didn't know where the fire was coming from. then, i saw this huge spider. i kept trying to kill it, but it wouldn't die completely. meanwhile, other things were smoldering in the background. then, a scorpion appeared out of nowhere. so of course, i tried to kill it too, but it wouldn't die either. then, like a horrible national geographic documentary, the scorpion sees the spider. they start fighting, and of course the scorpion wins with a stab to the heart. (do spiders have hearts?) so, finally i find a shoe that's flaming and smash the scorprion too. the end.

am i disturbed? i have no idea what this means. feel free to try to interpret. all i can say is, at least it had resolution...
