well this isn't a post that comes from plumbing the depths of my soul or Psyche its simply a fact, the only thing i am good for is playing the fat funny guy, i am nobody's love interest i am nobody's like interest, i have been pigeon holed into this role and when it comes to making friends i have few to rival me but when it comes to attracting girls, its nigh on impossible, every pass is taken as a joke and treated as such, im the friend, the ear you cry to when the guy dumps you, but you will ever look at me? the guy that has yet to fail you? no.

you want to know where all the good guys have gone, right where were you left us, in the friend zone

i think that is what this has become, when i prob my own feelings and come up with some insight i put it here, i doubt that anybody still reads this so i think it is safe.

the ones among us that laugh the most have experienced the most pain, the most gregarious have the least self confidence, i find that i need everybody else to like me because i don't like myself, i derive my worth from the smiles or the laughs i can draw forth from others. this is why it is so devastating when a girl rejects me, i see it as a confirmation that i am worthless. i can see that that is not really what it means, but that is still how if feels, i can understand that im reading far too much into simple rejection yet i can't help it. that little voice comes into my head and reminds me of all those lonely nights that i laid restless and whispered my fears into the dark praying that the dark wouldn't whisper them back, knowing that if i were ever to hear those words from another mouth, i would be completely undone, laid bear before the world and weep

why is it that nothing seems to make you more depressed then the success of a friend? we once shared the bond of no job no girl and no school... today was the day he changed the final thing that linked us. he is now better than me in every way. i have only one thing to look forward too, and every day that thing seems to get 2 steps closer and 1 step back.

Thanks for the confidence

So here is a new quote cutesy of my dad, this was said in a conversation with my mom, over the phone, three feet away from me, "i don't know what is wrong with the other two, but Paul and Burgess just got it".... thanks dad, i needed to hear that.

a good start

2009-10-03T22:27:00.000-07:00

OK, so since my last post I have gone to the gym 3 times and have lost 10 pounds!!!! I think this is pretty good for my first week. for this next week I hope to go to the gym more often and cut fast food out of my life, DA DA Dom. In the future I am going to try to give up soda but to be honest that will probably be one of the hardest things for me to give up, as everybody knows I am a coke-a-holick and a big lover of any thing carbonated so this goal might take a while for me to accomplish. here's to my health

Here we go

2009-09-27T20:48:00.000-07:00

Get ready for this my loyal followers (Hannah), I am embarking on a journey of weight loss and self discovery... but mostly weight loss, in fact all weight loss, I am some what afraid of what I might unearth if I look into the all the nooks and cranes that lie with in myself, so i think i will just keep that door locked ignoring the alternating screaming and sobbing sounds that try to make them selves heard and leave that journey for another day (and perhaps to be taken with someone with some sort of license).

My mission is to lose around 120 bounds. currently I weigh (make cough sound here) a three digit number that exceeds three hundred (once i lose some pounds I will come back and make this number known).

so come along with me, time is short and I'm not getting any younger.

still looking

2009-08-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

still no job, the search continues

2009-07-28T15:17:00.000-07:00

so...... I'm back, as a graduate of the esteemed higley high school . still without a job, but now with much much more depression, anxiety, and fear as motivators to get one.

Do you like my quotes?

2009-01-15T19:18:00.000-08:00

Resolutions for the coming year

2009-01-01T23:57:00.000-08:00

1. Get a job (preferably not in fast food, but i cant afford to be picky anymore)

2. Get a Girlfriend (preferably one that has had more experience dating than i have)......(which is none)

3. Lose weight (enough so that i can be an effective missionary)

4. Start strengthening my bonds with my family and my friends (so that i will have someone actually writing me on my mission)

5. Graduate high school (something I really didn’t think that I was going to be able to do)

6. Don't get stabbed (this is a New Years resolution that I make every year. Some years I make it, and some years I don’t)

PS. Hannah while I was writing this I was wearing your Christmas gift (I just wanted you to know that)

so it's the new year. over the past couple of days i have been reflecting on 2008 and i have com to the conclusion that 2008 (with the exception of the birth of my new nephew) was a horrible year. I’ve had leave my friends and home of 11 years and move to a new place and school, my Grand father passed away, my parents are separated, and I have come to the realization that I am going to be a legal adult in 3 months with plans for the future that don’t extend past keep living. So with that happy thought i rang in the new year with some new friends ( one other good thing{ but i still wish that i where with my old friends}) and hope for the coming year to be better than the last. ( as you can see, the bar isn't very high)

my gift to the ward

2008-12-17T23:22:00.000-08:00

so this last weekend i gave a talk in Church and i nailed it. The topic was obedience brings blessings and i gave this grate story that showed blessings in my life and then i gave a call to arms about how if you are obedient then that is like giving the devil a backwards elbow to the face. all those that went to Church that day are truly the better for doing so.

there is a reason that they didn't ask me to speak on humility

IT IS DONE!!!!

2008-12-06T13:18:00.000-08:00

so my movie is finaly filmed, edited, and scored.
now the only problem is tyring to get it on the web. yesterday i was going to put it on this little junk drive that Zane lent me but i thought that i had accidentally left it in the pocket of my pants at home, only to discover to day that it had been in my pocket all along. So on Monday i will be sure to bring it and hopefully by Monday night i will have it on here.

Employment Leper

2008-11-19T18:25:00.000-08:00

Target Tempe NE

so the search continues, my next stop Chick-fil-a

Zane said that he has had this idea for awhile

but lacked the necessary portly gentleman to make it work

but now i am here and that is no longer a problem

new calling

2008-11-16T17:24:00.000-08:00

The Bishop of my ward came to the house yesterday (when i was out) and said he had an assignment for me but i forgot to call him back so he caught me at church to day and asked me to be the ward news letter photographer. so i am supposed to meet with new people in the ward and take there pic and some info about them ( like how long they have been married and why they moved and the like) to put in the paper, so wish me luck.

A little about me

2008-11-06T18:28:00.000-08:00

So I thought I would tell you a little about my daily schedule. It starts of at 7:00 am when my alarm clock goes of and continues till 7:54 (it is 10 min fast) when I stop hitting the snooze button and actually wake up and run to the kitchen to fill my Coke school days lunch box with the same thing every day: 1 a lunchable (usually the cracker sandwich kind) 2 a pop tart (blueberry) 3 what ever kind of drink is in the fringe that comes in a portable container. and then rush out the door to my car and make the 30 min drive to school where I check the closest parking lot to where I get out of 5th period ( even though I already know that it is full) and then go to the back of the lot where the only free spaces are. I then go to English (I have already told you about that) then come seminary where I lead the class in scripture mastery (I am the scripture master for our class) and then take my seat behind MacKay. ( like David .O) now I should tell you that MacKay is mentally handicapped and likes to stretch over the back of his chair (right onto my desk) so every day I have to keep my guard up to make sure that I don't get a backward elbow to the FACE!!!. Some days I succeed, some days I don't. Well after that i go to lunch (at 10:30) and then to government where my teacher is average height but something about him just make me see him as a midget (I think it is because he talks kind of high pitched). After that I go to video production and my teacher here is 32 with a wife and kid but look like he is 14 (it is so easy to see some kid hassling him for his lunch money). Then I go home and look for a job.

So if you where looking for a moral or a theme to my day it would be....... life is just trying to avoid a backward elbow to the face.

Good morning COMRADES!!!!!!

2008-11-05T17:53:00.000-08:00

so Barack won last night.well at school today everyone saw fit to rub it in, even the teachers, as i walked into my first class (English) the first thing i see is Osama i mean Obama's face on the TV in the corner. apparently we needed to watch his speech last night (why i don't know are teacher didn't really explain it) to help us study for are test. and then the students had to get in on it ( this one guy who sits next to me in particular) every time he finished a sentence they had to give there approval of it ( like: yep, mmmmhhhhmmm, and that's right) to make sure every one know that they voted for him or would have if they could.

why is it the weird ones always sit next to me, like the guy who has to beat box through the whole class or the one that mutters incoherently and thinks nobody can here him. ( i expect it is just going to get worse the higher up i go in education, with roommates and such)

my actors hate me

2008-10-26T17:39:00.001-07:00

so i told you i was making a movie and i only have two weeks but now i only have one week and i have less than a 1/4 of the it filmed so now i am kind of freaking out because all of my actors have jobs and commitments and families and care more for those than making my movie. so this week i am going to be cracking down on them to see if i can get it done on time.........lets hope

2008-10-24T20:54:00.000-07:00

I am – 17 in high school

I want-to find a job where I don't have to ask if someone "wants fries with that"

I have – more time than I know what to do with and less time than I need to get things done

I wish – you could take naps at school

I dislike – people who chew with there mouths open, and eyebrows that are too perfect

I fear –I might never figure out what I want to do with my life, and the undead

I hear – that new Kid Rock song on the radio way to much

I search – for the perfect book series and good quotes from people i know

I wonder –how anyone has the confidence to say that the would make a good president

I always – try to make people laugh

Sometimes I- will think of some thing funny and laugh to my self in public (people give me weird looks)

I usually – can make people smile if i try ( or don't, i am just weird enough that it happens ether way

I am not – a good speller (I once misspelled my name on an application)

I dance – when ever the beat strikes me right

I sing –all the time, my life is a musicale

I never – want to get old ( if I ever get to the point i cant go to the bathroom by my self then I'm going to through my self down a flight of stairs)

I rarely –am not smiling

I cry – when ever i bare my testimony. i can say the prayer, give a talk, do anything else with out crying but when i bare my testimony i start balling like a little girl

I am not always – paying attention when people think that i am ( all the time some one will mention some event we are going to and wont know what they are talking about but they say i was in the room when they said it)

I lose - my train of thought much to often to be normal ( i think i have parttimers {the less known cousin of Alzheimer's})

I'm confused – when it comes to spelling rules they all seem to have some sort of exception to all of them. there not really rules there more like suggestions

I need - a good book to read at ALL TIMES

I should –know what i am going to do after my mission but i am just going to leave that to the Lord

I dream – of one day having a house with a pool and a bathroom in that house that is only accessible from the bottom of that pool

making my movie

2008-10-21T21:34:00.000-07:00

so for all of you that don't know i am in a video production class at school and i am making my movie, i am going to be filming for the next two weeks and then polishing it up so it is presentable. i don't know how but i would like to put it on here so if anyone would be interested in watching high school kids make fools of them selves they can. already today i filmed my first two scenes with the help of my friend (and also star of my film) Jorden.

A life in panic

2008-10-20T18:08:00.000-07:00

So this week in my life is going to be crap, you know when you can just feel it coming.
My teacher Kcebert Xela (that was her demon name before the devil assigned her to earth and gave her the name Mrs. Byrd so she could torture seniors with the threat of not graduating if you don’t pass her English class) has been giving us 10 vocab words since the beginning of the year(we have to write the definitions and synonyms for each and draw a picture and write a sentience using the word and a sentience relating to you)and now she wants all of the ones we have done ( about 90 words) tuned in again ( we hand the ten in at the end of the week and she gives them back on Monday) but guess what i (like most of my fellow class mates) didn't keep it and now has to do it all over again so i can get credit. and on top of that she wants two essays and my government teacher wants us to pick three props and write a page position letter for each. STOP THE WORLD i want to get off, if you need me i will ether be napping or at the computer.
