Soggy Shorts


I had to jump in the water to "save" a kid today at my lifeguarding job. What happened was that there was this kid and he was an alright swimmer and so I let him go off the diving board. The problem was that after the 10th time he was so exhausted that he couldn't make it to the side and looked up at me with panic in his eyes and said "help me!" I jumped in the water and helped him to the side and was soaking wet the rest of the day. It was kind of embarrassing because I panicked and forgot to blow the whistle to let the other guard know what was going on and I am sure I had enough time to get off the chair and throw him the tube but I panicked...oh well lesson learned.

Black Jeans

I don't know who is still making black jeans but they need to stop. I may be offending a lot of people by saying this but black jeans are no longer in style...actually I don't know that they ever were. The clothing industry has caught on in other ways, they no longer make MC Hammer pants, or sweaters with kittens on them. I see people wearing them sometimes and I assume they are old and then I get a closer look and either they bought them in 1992 and just pulled them out or some company is still forcing them on the shelves and suckers are buying them. Please join me now in a nation wide black jeans ban. I will be collecting donations to fund this campaign. Thank You.

Hanes His Way!

I went to another ward BBQ tonight (it wasn't even my ward...don't ask) and there was the typical crowd. The ratio of kids to adults was the usual 6-1 and it was spotted with elderly people who looked as though they would rather be some place quite and warm...or maybe that was me. My friend Liz and I were sitting at a picnic table trying to blend in so that no one would ask us why we are not married and if we are being successful at life. One middle-age man walked by who nodded his greeting for a few moments and then walked on. I had noticed several things such as his suspenders, jeans, keys hanging on his belt loop as well as some fabric around his waist that said "HANES". It didn't register until after he had left and Liz very slowly said, " Today is the day I stop tucking my t-shirt into my underwear." HAHAHA She said it in kind of an Eeyore tone of voice and it really made me laugh.
