Ryan is like your fake brother who steals your jeans.

To those who have read the previous:
Well, I have something to write about for a change. So hopefully I'll be able to convey what I have to say in postively wonderful way. (wow, three rhymes!) Ok, so first I'll talk about friday night. So friday night Ashley, Alyssa, and I went to tp scott's car. However, somewhere along the way we decided to saran wrap the car, and lipstick the windows. So we made a short stop at walmart and then weasled the address of scott's girlfriend's house from scott. First scott said something to the effect of turn right at this stop light and then turn at your first right after that and then your first left after that and a few more lefts and rights and then take the second star to the right and straight on til morning. (never neverland!) So I was like. . . okay just give us the address. Turns out that addresses are completely meaningless when they say 453 north 5930 west, especially when none of the streets are numbered. So to make a long story short, we ended up on Ridge Dr. and then I said I remembered where we could find main street. But both Ashley and Alyssa we stop and knock on someone's door to ask for directions. I tried to stop them, but being a gentleman, I yielded to their wills. So they chose a house with all of its lights out (10:30 at night so everyone's in bed) and they wake up this poor lady. The lady said something to effect of, uh. . . . you're on ridge dr you stupid people go to main street. So once again, I was right, but it didn't seem to matter. So we finally found some round about scott mentioned and headed further west, like we were supposed to . Once we go close to where we were supposed to be, both Ashley and Alyssa said that Scott told us to drive through the cemetery, I said that he probably meant go around or pass it. But they both freaked out when they made me drive through it, on a road that wasn't meant to be driven on! So finally we found the house and yada yada yada. However Alyssa and ashley both struggled to undo the saran wrap and I did what I could to fix the saran wrap job but it was pretty much ruined. Well that's the end of my story.
On Saturday I went to Tucanos with Katie, Alyssa, and Jodi. Katie and Alyssa both ate a herd of cattle, while Jodi and I ate a nice refreashing, savorful meal. It was great fun! haha
On Sunday, well I gave a talk and partied with my family and friends. Thanks for coming all of you that came, and to those who didn't, you probably didn't miss too much haha. :)
So to those who have read the previous: Good Morning, Afternoon, or Goodnight.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.


To those who have read the previous, and to those who haven't (namely Kylie):
Can I just start this post by saying that I'm so happpy! (so much in fact happpy needed an extra 'p') Well, tommorrow is my last official day working at the super duper wal*mart and can I just say how much I won't miss it! haha. So here's what's happened lately in the life of me. I received a letter from the Mission President in Cambodia and he asked me to reread the Book of Mormon before I get to the MTC which means I'm having to read about 25 pages a day, which is pretty draining, but in an incredible way! I mean I love every minute of it, but when you read so much it's like filling your mind with so much good it's simply exhausting. I think it's one of the best things in my life right now. Well. . . . I've been trying to put my talk together and it's pretty tough. I mean I'm not exactly sure what to say, so hopefully the spirit will make up for most of it. Oh by the way, My farewell is at 9:00 am at the Canal drive building off of 400 north in lindon and i'd love to see you all there!
Oh my gosh! I've been sitting down writing this and such for the past little while and I didn't really notice all that much, but my entire right leg fell asleep so I pretty much fell over from my leg being all tingly. Oh man, and it's been almost 4 minutes and it's still asleep i was limping all over the upstairs! It's pretty nuts, my entire leg felt like your arm does after you hit your funny bone really hard!
Wow, and oh my goodness I've almost finished reading for about the 7th time the Peacegiver, and if you haven't read that book. . . . it's just . . . . a sad day. But good news, you can still read it! I'd say that the Peacegiver is up there on my top 5 favorite books (excluding scripture). So I would highly highly highly recommend it. In fact, I'm going to do what the commercials do, I'll include a real life story!
Ben Hoglund even read it after I gave it to him. At first he was skeptical about how good it was, and he loved it, so if you can't take my word for it, take Ben's. And if you can't take Ben's word for it, take Diego's word for it. And if you have no idea who Diego is, that's ok. Diego happens to be a fictional character who fits in this advertisment quite well. Oh well, let me know how you guys are! Have a wonderful day!

To those who have read the previous,
Man, don't you love that song? Across the universe is an awesome song! If you haven't heard Across the Universe sung by Rufus Wainwright, buy the song :) Gosh, I love the Beatles. Since I feel my Beatles vibe coming on, I'm gonna give you guys my list of favorite Beatle songs:

4. Hey Jude
5. Here Comes the Sun
6. Come Together
7. Hard Day's Night
Those are just a few of my favorites!
Well, I'll just give you a brief run down of my past day or so. I went on a date with Ash, Wes, Scott, Amanda (his girlfriend), and Tiffany. And can I just tell you, she did everything she could to make that date either awkward or embarrassing. I was like. . . man, what's going on!? (maybe ash could enlighten me, hint hint) Well the worst part was when she poured water down the front of my pants so it looked like I wet myself. Wow, what a night ;) It's ok, cause Nothing's gonna change my world! Jai Guru Deva, Om

Dan in Real Life

Well once again I"m blogging to those who have read the previous entries:
So here I am, me and my lappy. I've been thinking. . . specifically about what I should write, and honestly, I can think of absolutely nothing. So this blog will be about absolutely nothing. So I just watched the show Dan in Real Life, as you can probably guess from the title. It's one of my favorites! The movie makes you feel horrible throughout the story and then at the end it makes you so happy. I love it.
You know what, I really love playing apples to apples, catch phrase, and pit. Especially the way we played pit at Nate's house! Oh my gosh, I remember all the people there, tackling each other, trying desperately not to be the last person to grab the infamous bottom thumb, haha!
Oh and another thing, who do you guys think the greatest super hero is? I believe that it's either Batman or Superman. I'd say superman because he's got the ideal super powers and he's pretty awesome that way. On the other hand, Batman on the other hand reall isn't a super hero, he doesn't have super powers. But he kicks butt with his utility belt and has much more colorful villians. So let me know what you guys think!
Good morning, afternoon, or night, and good luck!

You burned your foot on your Foreman Grill?

To those who have previously read my posts:
So now I have officially checked out of life. I can't stand to think I still have to wait another 3 weeks before I actually leave. But I'd still like to hang out, and my last official day of working at the most incredible Wal*Mart in the world, is March 18. So if anyone would like to hang out after the 18th I'd be totally up for it!
So, here's what's happened this last week. I pretty much worked everyday of the week. But I got to hang out with Ash, Wes, and Scott Saturday night. That was pretty fun, however I almost died because Scott is a crazy driver! I've never been so scared in a car before. Scott spent the whole time looking for people to street race, and unfortunately he found a custom car that had a couple of hispanic guys who were wearing scary clothes. Sadly, Scott's car's windows are only tinted in the back, so these guys had an absolute perfect view of muah! I thought they were going to shoot me or something. So . . . at the time I was either going to be shot or killed in a horrible twisted burning wreckage!
Oh and my newest edition to my blog: Joke of the Day!!!!
So here's my joke of the day, actually a guy in my ward said it to me and I didn't find it that funny but we'll see what you think. He said, "Remind me to give you my favorite cookbook before you leave, '40 ways to wok your dog!'"
So to all those who have read this, Good Morning, Afternoon, or Night and good luck!

We Speak English, We Delivery.

Hello my fellow blogger friends! Can I just tell you all, that I love you all so much! I have just bee thinking about leaving on my mission, and it hasn't really hit me that i'm going to be gone for so long. I am really going to miss it here. I also found out some really cool things about Cambodia. I met another missionary that went there two years ago. He told me that I can go to any little clothing peddler and he could make me a good tie for 75 cents! Crazy huh? It's getting more and more exciting, especially because I've been writing Nate. Every time I learn something new or hear from missionaries, I get so excited I just want to leave right then!
Oh something else awesome happened this week, I got to go to the Provo Temple with Ben and man it was awesome! I absolutely love going to the temple. I can't even tell you guys. I'd love to do Baptisms sometime before I leave. I guess this blog has become a replacement for a close friend. I mean because I'm not around you guys that much anymore, it gets difficult because I don't have someone to talk to, haha.
Well I think i'm starting to get better at this blogging thing. So to all my readers out there, Good (Morning, Afternoon, Night) and Good Luck.

To those who have read the previous:

Well, what can I say? For lack of a better word, I'm "shocked," people read my blog. Well anyways, today I met a guy who was the first MTC missionary to Cambodia, and I found out some very interesting things about cambodian people.
First off, they don't ever touch each other's shoulders or heads. Instead of putting their arm around you or shaking your hand to show their friendship, they'll hold your hand. However the women are excluded from this practice, so if I'm teaching a family the lessons, and they feel the spirit, the father just might grab and hold my hand during the lesson. (freaky uh?)
Oh and another thing, whenever they point at something, or give directions, they point with their lips, like they would a kiss. haha, that's hilarious I think.
Oh and if you didn't know, my farewell is on the 23rd of March at 9:00 at the Canal Drive building in Lindon. And I have the awesome topic of "How Christ Frees us Through the Atonement." So hopefully you can make it, because it'll be . . . . hopefully uplifiting :)
So to all you who read the previous, Good (morning, afternoon, night), and Good luck!
-Danny
Oh and if all of you would be so kind, please let me read your blogs (it makes me feel included :) ).
