Tuesdays with Muerte

So, Bryson and I were talking the other day about girls... and we both concluded that, even after all the list-making and dating experience we have had, we simply have no idea what we are looking for in a girl to marry. Sure, there are some attributes that we each prefer. But, at this point, I'm not so exclusive to say, "I will not date anyone with or without a certain quality." That's too picky in my opinion. From what YOU know about me, I'd love to your opinion on what kind of girl I need. Here are some stimulating pictures of different kinds of girls to get your mental juices flowing: Too Homely Too Old/Foreign Too Ditsy Too Worldly Too homeless Mom: Well, Bryan...people that I've described you to say that you need a "balloon holder" because you are a creative, free spirit that doesn't like to worry much about time, details, deadlines and the like. You need someone with some of the characteristics that you may not be strong on (whatever th...

When Feist first came out with her "1, 2, 3, 4" song, my Monticello roommate, Lee McCreedy, would always sing the first line over and over until the rest of us were convinced that those were the only lyrics and that he had made it up. It took us weeks before we learned there were more to the full lyrics. Download the .mp3 Here . Maybe some of the Whitehead kids will get a kick out of this Sesame Street version.

I remembered, after posting the story about meeting Keira Knightley at the MTC, that I had unwittingly met another very poopular celebrity but had realized it! This encounter took place in the Moab, UT when I ran the 1/2 Marathon with the Raintree roommates in the Summer of 2006. It was a blast! I can't believe I did it with ZERO training, whatsoever. (Aside: Another boy in my ward was scheduled to run in the group and had to drop out the day before. Since I was going to go spectate anyway I thought to myself, "why watch when I could participate?" So I took the boy's ID and pretended that I was him.) (Still Aside: The emotions of running a 1/2 marathon were priceless. I still recall the lingering memories of stretching out just before the race, drinking and peeing along the way and nearly collapsing at the end. There is nothing quite like the sensation of swarm of 5000, dedicated runners pushing ourselves as hard as we could towards a common goal. It wa...

BRB LOL "im in ur ______, _____ing your ______." (Spoken typically by cats .) " 1 4m 4 133t h4ck3r! " Belle and I were chatting on Gmail yesterday and she had never heard the expression: O RLY . It's not "1337" Speak , and it's not a Texting Abbreviation ; it's something in between... "What's an ORLY owl?" she asked me. Well, this is the latest, dumbest internet fad. (Some of them are pretty clever, though; especially if you get a really good picture.) The Original

Blast from the past: I totally forgot about this story until just recently when a missionary sent me a picture. Remember when I used to work at the MTC. Well, one of my favorite perks was the all-you-can-eat lunch buffets for only $3.75. WHAT A DEAL! Anyway, one of the craziest things happened at lunch one Wednesday while I was eating with my friend Kevin. Keira Knightly was visiting the MTC! She was dropping off a friend at one of the orientation sessions when I recognized her in the hallway. I probably would not have recognized her had I not just seen her in Pirates earlier that week. Impetuous, as I am, I invited her to sit with us in the cafeteria, boasting that the MTC stocks the best ice cream sandwiches in all of the Western United States. (I always seem to be most outgoing when I am around friends.) Keira agreed to my invitation as she was waiting for a friend to text her and had some time to kill. Lucky us. We didn't have long. We had barely sat down and sh...

Here is a classic question for you: How much hair "grooming" is appropriate for boys? There are a lot of places a boy COULD "groom". Some boys feel it is important to rid their bodies of all hair except for what is on top of their heads and just a little bit over their eyes. Others believe that men ought to be au-natural--no grooming neceseary. This line graph represents what I think the general consenus in Provo is: Man-hair may be likened unto a homeowner's shrubbery. The upkeep of said shrubbery reflects many aspects of the homeowner's personality. A well-kept shrubbery reveals that the homeowner is conscious of how he presents himself to his neighbors. When a homeowner neglects his front yard, he is looked down upon by his neighbors. With that said, it is possible to over-groom. Animal-shapes and bald shrubs for example, although artistic to some, seem just plain weird to the majority. This is the graph that represents my current opinion on the m...
