Picky Heart

Sometimes the heart aches so much because it wants something so bad, but realizes it can't get what it wants.

-Bob, inspired by a girl (I hope) but probably more realistically by football

Game Lost, Pride Intact

I have a question! When did it become that an 8-1 football record is a bad thing? Goes to show the system is really messed up.

-Bob, inspired by Ute's recent loss to TCU

Backward Happyness

Sometimes in life you have to move backwards to move forward.

-Bob, inspired by "The Pursuit of Happyness"

It Is What It Is

WHAT THE BCS AND THE CURRENT COLLEGE FOOTBALL SYSTEM BELIEVES. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all FBS college football teams aren't created equal, that the BCS schools and Conferences are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is what it is.

Bob's First Love

Sports show that even though you don't stand a chance, miracles can happen. David really can beat Goliath. They inspire. They unify. They inspire us, as the fans, to be better. As much as they can bring out the worst in people, they truly bring out the best. They show the greatest. That is why I love sports.

-Bob

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Sometimes in life you can't beat the system. You can complain. You can protest. You can fight. Sometimes it is better to join the system, then fight it.

-Bob, inspired by recent developments in College Football

Leading the Self Deceived

I like the book "Leadership and Self-Deception." It describes me perfectly. I have leadership, and I have self-deception.

Genesis 3:17-19

Not only weeds torment men, flowers do also. Trust me. I know from experience.

-Bob, after a long day's work planting flowers

NYSE: GRLS

Dating is like investing in the stock market. It is a gamble. The guy invests the money, time, and energy, and may not get any return from the stock. Sometimes he may have to sell the stock short and take a loss. Sometimes he needs to hold out and hope the stock rises. Sometimes he might get a return if he holds the stock. When the stock does rise in a bullish market and he does get a return for his investment, how great a joy it is. Remember in this life we only get to choose one stock, so invest wisely.

Productivity

In my opinion, some majors are productive. Some aren't productive. I will let you decide which ones aren't and which ones are.

-Bob, after watching a theater production

The Only-est Things That Exist

Only five things exist in my life: God, Church, the italian-beef sausage combo, Utah Utes, and the Utah Jazz. Girls used to be number three, but were replaced by the italian-beef sausage combo.

-Bob

Teachable

Why did the Lord choose a 14 year old boy to restore the church? Because he was teachable.

Don't Mess With Home Teaching

You don't mess with home teaching. You get it done. Stake conference and FHE are just details.

-Bob

Life and Tests

No matter what happens, tomorrow the sun will rise, the mountains will be there, and the wind will blow. Keep your eyes on the horizon because you never know what the tide will bring in.

-Bob, inspired by Jason while walking to the testing center

May and Walsh

Why can't a man watch a little Olympic women's beach volleyball without being judged!

-Bob, inspired by 2008 Olympics

Ute Spirit

There are 3 reasons I'm a Ute fan: my dad went to the University of Utah, my school has no sports, and well, I just look good in red.

-Bob

Uncle Snack Sauce

Sometimes you have to go through the pains of hell to realize you have made a mistake.

-Bob, inspired by Uncle Snack

Swift Fire

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

-Bob, inspired by Mr. Dudley

Platonic Fried Chicken

When we are unchained from the rock inside the cave and see what the shadows on the wall really are, and taken outside the cave to see the light, it becomes our responsibility to unchain others and show them the light. Even if they don't want to be unchained and leave the cave, it is still our responsibility to tell them the shadows are fake.

-Bob, inspired by an experience with a new fried chicken establishment

Internet

Sometimes you have internet, sometimes you don't. Either way, life will go on.
