Conan O'Brien vs. Jimmy Fallon

For the last 8 years I have been a Conan O'Brien fan. I stopped watching Late Night for my insane schedule and for many times for lack of a t.v. (thanks college living), but, today for the first time, I watched Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I'm curious to know why Conan was not able to come back to late night when they decided to let Jay Leno back.

I haven't really followed the story. Basically, Conan replaced Leno when Leno "retired" leaving it to Conan who had been on deck from Leno since 1993. Because of Leno's retirement (that last what, a year?) that slot was handed over to Conan, but, for some reason unknown to me for lack of snooping, Leno came back, bumping Conan off completely and letting Fallon, who was on after Conan, to take his former 2nd slot. So, I'm confused on why Fallon even has a talk show.

I don't see how he's funny, I'm sorry to say--okay, not really that sorry. To me he looks a bit up tight and very unnatural. I'm confused by the standing ovations. What am I missing?

The only thing I liked about Fallon is that he's the only late night show host who actually bashes on Obama, it seems like the world won't speak any smack of the man, when he has been less than perfect, but let's not get political.


I miss me some good 'ol Conan O'Brien!!!

He's on TBS but we don't get that channel. I'm doomed to having Jimmy Fallon access...I refuse to watch him. I have yet to laugh once.

Enjoy the following and I pity the foo who doesn't know who Conan O'Brien is.
There is still hope for you, grasshoppa.


 Goodnight.

Cell Phone Drafts

Don't ask me where nor what I was doing when I checked my cell phone drafts where I write things that I observe on campus or I just make a list of things that happened. Okay, so some things are straight up opinions, but, here's the list for me to blog about later. I ain't got much time now to do it, so:

Most Recent to Less Recent:

*I dreamt we had a ghost watching us outside of the house. I shook his hand and to my surprise I felt it.

*Give talk Sunday Oct. 23rd from Pres Eyring's talk about Testimony (10-12 mins)

*Oct 15th: Saw my first shooting star @ age 25, Never wear this dress again--flashing experience, watched Tim and Stacey's sealing, lost 4 pills and then they appeared out of nowhere (Fishes and Loaves of Bread modern day experience), Bathroom prepping in St. George Visitor's Center bathroom, McDonald's pit stop hunger pangs, realized relationships I may have helped with God's approval, "Peruvian Pockets".

*"Be careful" referring to driving, "Watch out for the other guy" jajaja -Lady in temple 10/15

*Unseen beauty

*My thought to myself when I walked into the creamery because of conversations heard:
         OMGawsh it's scary how ppl talk about Harry Potter like it's a religious thing when they are in college.

*I'm anti Toms

*I saw Santiago on campus :)  (the man who always volunteers Saturdays at the TRC)

*Frisbee is an actual sport? Only in Utah.

*I don't understand people that walk around with headphones in, that have tall orange socks on up to their knees, and that drum noisily to their music when this should be a silent activity...when did walking on campus become a show?

*Habia una vez un perrito que se llamaba borrador. Un dia se erasco y deparecio. jajajajaj I kill me

Proven Wrong

I hate it when I go everywhere and I see the same person all around me. It's like everyone is cloned with the same pair of pants and the same pair of shoes. Speaking of which, from the old lady in front of me in the post office to the person sitting next to me in my History 252 class, Toms are on everyone's feet. I found myself getting extremely frustrated with this scene. I felt like everyone was trying to be everyone else and had no mental brain powers to think for themselves. I decided to investigate a bit of this Tom business. I've heard of them for years. I knew what they did, you buy a pair of shoes they give a pair away to people lacking in that. Understood. What frustrates me is seeing people doing things because it's a fad, a trend, popular. That drives me insane. People, think for yourselves!

But, I hate to admit this. I thought perhaps I converted, no, not quite yet. But, I sympathize now with Toms and see what greatness they stand for. The video was a heart strings tugger, because I know what is it for children to not have shoes. My own Mother only had one pair growing up in Peru. As I served in Peru for 18 months I associated and loved many families with children who did not have shoes either. So, this means a lot to me. I want to buy a pair so that someone without can have one.

My only hope is that people do things for the right reasons and not to be like the rest of the world. To think and decided and act with a reason behind it. I'm curious to know if I asked someone wearing Toms on campus of why they bought them if they would have a substantial reason. Please be someone with one...

changing the subject: Ab Ripper X no Yoga. We were tired. Long day. Oops.

NY version: Tree

Tree. Today is day tree (think of the Brooklyn [NY] pronunciation of the word "three", there you go). My Dad is from Brooklyn, so I grew up listening to this my whole life. Talk about the attitude, I have acquired that too, so, please don't be offended at me. (Check out the video to learn how to get your accent on, and yes, people from NY really do say what she says.)

Workout, done. Shoulders and arms is complete. We just need to do Ab Ripper X tomorrow because it got too late and we got tired. My goodness, everything hurts. This is quite the wake-up call to my long hibernating body. Poor thing. It's spring time for it. But, today it rained and called for boots and a jacket. We are in fall here in Provo, and winter is close behind. 

It's Better In Two's

My body started to hurt today. I felt it most walking up the stairs. I guess we can that tell my muscles are uncomfortable, which means they exist!

Today, when I did Cardio X. Jenny came over and we did it together. She is so distracting! But, man, she is my true entertainment. There is no hiding our true identities from each other, we've been through so much it's like there is no shallow conversations and there is a lot of calling each other out on things. It's the best. During our " workout session" she changed the moves and I think may have gone off in her            
monologues, I'm not sure, I was trying to focus on Tony and his horrific workout moves. All I have to say about Jenny is that she better go try out for SNL, because she would be their newest big star. Disregarding her distracting behavior, we did it, we worked out-- Juntas. :) Things are just done better in two's.                                                                         

 My body was complaining and I had no idea how to console it...so, I ignored it. But, honestly, I am happy it hurts! This gives me the idea that my body is making changes and it is waking up. So, day 2 of P90x is done. I just need to work on a bed time!


(In case the picture doesn't show it, Jenny has something up her sleeves in this picture. She's a trip and a half.)

This Is It

No, this blog isn't about Michael Jackson...I WISH IT WAS!

I'm on my same quest to fitness...gosh, it's annoying. haha! Only because for me it's not so easy. The doctor always tells me how "disgustingly healthy" i am, yet, in my mind i want to ask, "So, why does my body not reflect that in it's appearance??" But, I will get back down to what I once was. I will not be on the summit forever, but, because I know what it is to be up top, I will forever be on a quest to be on top. (Poem reference, can't remember which poet said it.)

So, once again, the billionth time, I am starting again with more determination to drop the poundage and get back into shape. So, day one of eating right. It's Sunday so I can't workout, but, tomorrow bright and early, I'm on it! Let's try to track this. Day 1= fantastic.

Gotta think positive!
