Hi, my name is Dennis and I’m a sleep addict. I just woke up an hour ago. It’s bad enough that I was sleeping that close to when I was gonna go to bed for the night, but it’s even worse that I slept for five hours. Seriously. I have no clue how I’m going to fall asleep tonight. And I have work at nine tomorrow. Gay. As in stupid, not as in homosexual. Unless homosexual is meant in the stupid way as well.

I actually made this yesterday, but because I have nothing else to show today, I’m putting this up. Basically I saw some girl wearing a Team Edward shirt and got the idea. I think I’ll probably make another version with Conan on it or something to possibly try to make some money off the design. Either way, I’m getting one for myself. You like what you see? Let me know and I’ll see if I can score you one of these. Would probably cost like $20 though. The fact that you’d want a picture of me adorning your torso would be quite flattering though and I might even give you a discount.

As if buying a Super Nintendo a couple months ago wasn’t good enough (NBA Jam and Super Mario Kart are still pretty sick even to this day), I further returned to my roots by watching Space Jam tonight. Such a good movie, and so much different to watch it now that I’ve grown up. I love some of the more mature humor that they snuck in there that I never caught as a kid, like when the little aliens say something like, “That was a fun trip. We should do it again.” Not the best acting of all time, or the best visual effects, but it definitely brought back memories. Surprisingly, I can still remember my dad taking me to see this in the movie theater when I was five or six. I really do remember some weird stuff sometimes.
Today was pretty much all about basketball though. I skipped my Book of Mormon class to watch the BYU-Florida game. Pretty intense, and made much better by the fact that we actually pulled it off. And then I fell asleep after that and slept for five hours. Definitely not the best thing I could have done for my sleep schedule. And after that I watched The Office, 30 Rock, and then Space Jam, so pretty much my entire day was devoted to basketball. Not a bad way to spend a day.

To celebrate I wore my green OYE shirt and made mixed drinks. Mormon style. Yeeeuh.
Oh and I got a job today too. Great success. $12/hr is quite enjoyable. Skilled labour for the win.

I saved a life. Baywatch style. Yeah. Well, I donated blood. I make a difference. Go Dennis!
I’m kinda weird though. Cause I enjoyed it. My needle this time was bigger than last time and I think the guy got me at an angle rather than straight on or something. Whatever happened, my arm really hurts now. And I’m really not sure why. But I like it. I enjoy the pain. Mainly just pushing through it. Frick I’m weird. Am I weird? I hope I’m not weird. At least not too weird.
And then Outback. First time I’ve had a good steak since I left San Antonio. Awesome. I had one at Legends last week, but it wasn’t that great. It was kinda overpriced.
So yeah. Donate blood. You get free cookies

When Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was in the dollar theaters over my Christmas break, I was planning to go see it, but the friend I was going with didn’t really want to, so I set aside my "I Do What I Want" mentality for an hour and a half and settled for one of the crappiest movies I’ve ever seen. I’m actually not sure exactly how bad it was, but when I don’t remember a movie, I figure it can’t be too good at all. I just remember being there.
Anyways, last week, a friend said I had to see it, so I got it and watched it with mi primo tonight. Holy crap. I really should have watched it over Christmas break. I remember reading the book when I was much younger, but I remembered the book being nothing. Just like Spike Jonze did with Where the Wild Things Are, Phil Lord and Chris Miller took this one and ran with it, and I feel like they did a much better job than Jonze too. Where the Wild Things Are was a great movie, but only if you’re into super artsy films where you have to dig for meaning throughout. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs pulled through in a way that made it more kid friendly and a movie that you could just watch. And sometimes that’s really nice. Sometimes I like to get away from thinking because I think weird. And it’s not good.
Seriously though, Justin and I were laughing the whole hour and a half. Lord and Miller did a great job of making this kid-oriented humor that everyone will love. Or maybe it’s just cause I love stupid jokes. And awkwardness. And this movie was all about that. If you haven’t see it, I’d definitely recommend buying/renting it. Awesome movie.

Tonight was really cool. I made a new friend. Sort of. Technically. I guess. It’s Facebook Official so it counts right?
I dunno. I helped this dude jumpstart his car and we were kind of talking and he was like what’s up with girls at BYU? All they want to do is make out. I thought girls were supposed to be the ones who want relationships. We’re supposed to be going on missions and they just want to get in trouble. I laughed. A lot. Wow.
So now what? I don’t know. A couple months ago I might have smiled and nodded and not really agreed. Cause that’s what I do. Smile and nod. But I laughed. Seriously though. Now what?
Society is backwardsing itself. Dudes and chicks are reversing roles. Yeah, now I sound retarded and I like to believe I’m not some femmie(how the cuss do you spell that?) dude but seriously. He’s right, and he really shouldn’t be.

In keeping with the theme of this blog (not really a theme, just the fact that the title is in poorly written Spanish, and that I enjoy casual Tourette’s style outbursts of Spanish), I have titled this post in Espanol, except there is no accent on the second e, just like there’s no ~ over the n in Espanol. Cause I don’t have a Spanish keyboard and I’m too lazy to open up the symbol thing so I could copy and paste it.
Anyways. Tests. That’s what that means. Literally I think it’s examinations, but according to my spanish teachers, that’s what they say in place of test. So yeah. Tests. I have three this week. And I hate them. And they suck. And college is stupid. Well, no, I enjoy having more free time, and I enjoy some of my classes a bit, just not the tests. Cause they’re a lot harder. Although Brother Marsh was pretty cool and is letting me take the Mission Prep test tomorrow for full credit. Pretty sweet. I think I’m going to bake him cookies now haha. But I still have Book of Mormon and Statistics to take tests for.
I swear it’s all psychological though. Everyone that’s taken this Statistics test that I’ve talked to said it’s easier than the first one. And they did better than the first one. But I’m a lot more afraid. The first one, I was able to do the practice test no sweat. This one, I’m trippin on the first question. It’s ridikalous. And I don’t say ridikalous much so that makes it special. Ok, I take that back, I say ridikalous quite a bit. But still.
In other words, I’m scared. I hate tests. I want to get them over with so I can have a chill weekend. Seriously. After this I have like nothing. Schwing!

Sometimes I feel like my day is going great, but sometimes I feel like it’s on some sort of system where I have to end the day on a neutral note. Like the world has to be in proper balance or some hippie crap.
I’ll just give an example here. (Keep in mind all examples given in this blog, while they may be true, should be assumed as false, but we reserve the right to tell you to believe what you want) So today I woke up to go take my Mission Prep test. After Brother Walsh talked about how easy it would be yesterday and everything and everyone said it took half an hour tops and whatnot, I wasn’t too afraid of it or anything. Well I had no idea just how afraid I should be. I got to the testing center this morning, and I found out that apparently yesterday was the last day of the test. FUH RIZZLE BRO?! I just got my first zero on a test. Let me rephrase that. I just failed my first test. Ever. Like, elementary school, middle school, high school, straight A’s. (Except the B’s in freshman English(what kind of guy really cares about the Secret Life of Bees) and Biology (Ms. Perales hated me, I swear))(I don’t know if you can double nest parentheses like that, so I just did it. But I’m not a professional writer or anything, so you’re going to have to deal with any mistakes of this sort that I make on here.) So failing my first test in Mission Prep, which is pretty much the easiest class ever, is definitely not a good feeling. I should have beasted that exam, but no. I didn’t even get a chance to try.
Okay, now that the rant is over, I can explain the redemption part. It seemed as if after that everything went my way today. None of the weirdness from yesterday, but I set up a date with this girl I happen to think is the bees’ knees, I stayed awake in Economics and completely understood what Dr. Showalter was talking about, I managed to walk by this dude that annoys me and always tries to talk to me forever without him noticing me, I had a nice conversation with someone in the Wilk while I ate dinner (usually when I’m in there I eat alone, which is nice sometimes too), I think I’ve found a job that I want, and I was able to get this blog thing set up without a hitch. Pretty good for me.
It seems like it’s usually like that though. Not always quite that fast, but it happens the same way. I have a horrible day one day, and then the next day something awesome happens and it’s all neutral again. Why can’t I just get progressively better? That would be so much cooler. I guess balance is kinda nice though.

Well, I’ve finally gotten it done. My blog is all set up. BYU blocks Tumblr, so that’s been deleted and this has been created. Means that I have no posts now, but it’s whatever. You now get to read all of my amazing insight into our wonderful world. I’ve got some work to do with the theme still, but I like this one pretty well, and I’m hoping you do too. Buenos dias everyone!
