firsts on the first

Yesterday was a day full of firsts, and how fitting that it was on April 1st:

• Attended Sunday morning conference (I've been to conference before, but not the Sunday morning session, it's the "real" session.)
• My mom met a real Bulgarian for the first time. (Rumiana from Sofia.)
• Ran into "ex-girlfriends" (2) on temple square and met their new boyfriends for the first time.
• Ate spaghetti with a meat thermometer for the first time.
  
• Completed my taxes for the first time.(TurboTax rocks. We'll see if I did it correctly.)
• Also, I attended Waffle night for the first time.

I had a chance for another first - changing a baby's diaper - but I had to opt out of that one. I'm still holding strong.

hat trick

Our team is surviving in the Floor Hockey tournament. We won 10-1. We have to win 3 more to be champions and get a intramural champion t-shirt. I had a hat trick. I felt like the guy pictured below.

nailed it

Before I leave BYU, I thought I should make an appearance in the letters to the editor for the Daily Universe. On my first try I made it. Click here to view the online version, I'm the fifth one down.

good guy

I stumbled upon Young Jeezy's wikipedia highlight. He seems like a thug, but even thugs can do good. If you read in his "personal information" section, he's done some good. Good for him. Keep it up Young Jeezy.

a little late... Happy Baba Marta!

It's that time of year again. Where's your martenitsa?

BYU kick the Utes

BYU beat the Utes badly. Click on the link below to see me in action. With 1:33 left in the show, you can see me with my headband on in the bottom left. Also, with 2:03 left, but it's tough to see me. I'm 6 rows up from where the student seats start. It was a fun game. We had a sign that said, "Tim Hardaway hates the Utes." It didn't last too long, the usher took it from us. I was disappointed.

Dear Mr. Cougarford

I have two questions for you. Have you listened to "Loney, Dear"?

And have you been on lala.com? Since you're the only one that reads my blog, I thought I could direct posts directly to you.

Sincerely,
Bryce

P.S. - And if you are reading this and you're not Mr. Cougarford, let me know.

socks bring joy

I bought some new socks this last weekend. There is nothing better then having new socks to put on. It is a great feeling.

CCR

I was at work listening to music. Some of that music was from Creedance Clearwater Revival. I've been known to like them before, but I remembered how cool of a band they really are. Listening to them makes me want to live back in the 60s and 70s.

day in the bryce life

Yesterday was good in most ways:

• 8 'o clock class
• work
• hanging out at the career fair, met some future fellow Kohl's employees
  
• class
• got a girl's number (the most unsmooth attempt, yet a success)
  
• hometeaching
• dinner at Mac Grill with the Kohl's gang (met two guys that I'll probably room with out in Milwaukee)
• intramural floor hockey game (I had one goal and two assists; we won)
• watched the end of the BYU/Utah bball game (BYU was victorious)
• Finished up some homework
• Then stayed up late, deep in thought and talking about dating with my roommate
  

What a great day.

pizza forgot

Last night I went with a girl named, Collette, to watch "Stranger Than Fiction." I think my expectations were built up too much. It was good, but I was expecting something I didn't see. By the way, I thought that Maggie Gyllenhaal is pretty, I think it's her smile. So I was at the movie and I got a call on my mobile from Mr. Cougarford and shortly there after from Tyler, the former verizon salesman. Then I realized that I had gone on a date during Pizza Club night. It made me chuckle softly. I still love pizza, even though others may not think so. I am thankful for the pizza love that is shown. It is a tragedy...?

nba fluff

I attended the Jazz game Monday at the "Melta Center" as they battled the Minnesota Timberwolves. Attending an NBA game is always a delight; however, it is also a disappointment to see these great athletes play passionless. It seems like the playoffs are always exciting, but the regular season is weak sauce. A possible reason to the "lathargicness" is that they play 82 games in a season. For the NBA, more games = more money. There is a big difference between a college game to an NBA game. NBA is missing the vigor. It was fun to see KG wearing his new sweet shoes. Also it was fun to witness my boy, Mark Madsen, air ball a free throw.

what are you thinking?!?

Last night it really hit me. Some people keep dream journals. I, however, should keep a pre-dream journal. I think of the most random stuff right before I zonk out. Last night, I was lying in bed thinking about how harsh washers and dryers must be on clothes. Then I thought maybe I should use the "delicate" cycle more often. Who thinks about that? Apparently I do. Maybe this will become a new feature of my blog. "Random Thoughts Before R.E.M. (RTBR)" or something like that.

That's me

here is an article about the BYU game, they talked about me in a way. It's from the Daily Herald. Here's the article. Here's the quote, Darnell Dickson wrote:

"During a free throw attempt, Jerome Habel egged on the BYU crowd to get louder -- and he missed."

Habel, my new friend

This is straight from my journal about my good time on Saturday at the BYU basketball game against SDSU. BYU won 80-58. It was grand. Enjoy:

Russell and I went to the BYU b-ball game... we didn't sit in the student section but instead behind one of the hoops with all the old people. I had another epic BYU athletics event moment. NO ESPN or anything, but I had the whole student section and most of the Marriott Center looking at me at one point. Let me explain. Habel(pictured to the left), #4 for SDSU, had gone up for a dunk and got fouled. BYU's Plaisted, at the other end, had just dunked it with authority the previous possession. SO, Habel was at the line and I yelled from the my sixth row seat, "Hey #4, that was weak sauce!" Right then, he looked at me, chuckled, and shook his head. I think he made the first free throw as I was waving my arms in attempt to distract him shooting. Before the second free throw, he did something that reached a new high in reactions in result of my taunting the opposing team. At the free throw line, he looked at me and started waving his arms around imitating me... he looked like a goof. And that's when the whole student section got involved especially after he faced the students and made a "Come on" gesture. Habel missed the second free throw. A little later Habel's teammate went up to him to tell him to hold back. It was great, we got into Habel's head that game. I'd like to think that I had a part in the Cougar's trouncing.
