Mormon Art

I like to draw during Church and during Sunday School we talked about the Pioneers. They truly suffered and sacrificed a lot to come to this valley. We always talk about the major sacrifices of the pioneers, but sometimes don't think about their lesser sacrifices.

LIFE!

I was going to do a bunch of stuff today. You know, get out there, really get stuff done. But just thinking about it was just wearing me out.

I think I am going to wait for my life to come out on DVD, but it'd be better if I could just download it on Hulu.

Coolest/Nerdiest day

So I haven't wrote in this blog for a bit.

but then, I got interviewed to be on the OFFICIAL Star Wars blog, so I think that kind of make up for it. If you see me, I will mention this because it is TOTALLY bragable.

This happened because I learned how to use Twitter from my brother Adrian.

Also, because I have the Force.

Books (not the band, but you should listen to them also)

I have many ideas for books, many are partially written and some are just (good?) ideas. Maybe those few of you that haven't stopped checking my blog periodically can help me figure out which one to finish first. The parentheticals aren't subtitles, but descriptions (if the title is not enough)

Here we go:

• Who Died and Made You a Casserole? Funeral Potatoes and other sad dishes (Mormon recipes and their reinvention).

• Women are From Mars and Men Can Make Sound Effects (Okay, we get it were different, but your formula is all wrong)

• Gardening Through the Apocalypse (because you can't live off of Capreses Salad and Salsa. imagine the Zombie Survival Guide mixed with Victory Gardens)

• Confessions of a Mormon Menace. (self congratulation/flagellation)

• So You Are Having a(n Evil) Baby? (the story of Ploepl and Hoetz and their concerned parents)

•Gryphon Bicycles (juvenile literature about a boy who flies, but not the way he dreams about)

•Carl Alt Delete (short story, a man creates his own online resurection after he find offline life so disatisfying)

Well what do you, my adoring public want (both of you)?

Maybe I should just focus on coming up with titles. I could go off for a while on movie ideas as well.

Let's just be friends

She said that maybe we should just be friends.

I countered and asked if we could be friends with benefits.

She asked me what I meant.

I said, that maybe we should be friends but she should pay for my health insurance.

The summer of...

Yeah, I promised a name for summer a long time ago. without a name this summer has been

The Summer of not warm but with lots of rain.
The Summer of not eating enough frozen custard
The Summer of I guess I'll just watch a little Ultimate Fighting until Daisy of Love is over.
Overtime Summer
The Summer of really, really, it's raining again
The Summer of life would probably be 100% more interesting with 10% more zombie attacks
The Summer of INTERNET!!!
The Summer of Saturday nights are for finishing videos about exciting business opportunities


THAT my friends is why it is important to name your summers. Without a name, your summer knows not what to do.

This summer may be many things

Roadtrip Summer
The Summer of Swing (rope not married couples)
The Summer of Love (didn't work the first time)
Homegrown Summer (I have a garden)
Air Summer (michael r.i.p.)

I even tried to sell everyone on this idea:

THE SUMMER OF DAMIAN

You know if everyone focused on me for one summer, we could take turns. Just think of how awesome this would be(for me).

But I think this summer is about the slower things, the finer things.

This summer is

The Backyard Summer

I'm not going to do anything inside this summer that I can do outside. I have a new garden a new firepit and a hammock that needs some quality time. Some of this summer will be in my little back yard, and some will be in the BIG backyard.

Even though I am the indoorsy type, this is the backyard summer. If you want a T-shirt just email me (though I already printed them up, but with the Summer of Damian logo, so that will have to do). So quit moping around the house for Michael (r.i.p.) and Suzanne Sommers (the King of Dunks and the Queen of Thighs) and start moping around your backyard.

This Summer Needs a Name

But I don't thin you are going to like it.

announcement coming soon...
