LOOKIE HERE KIDS!

a little treat for everyone. this instantly became my favorite song the moment i heard it. i wont lie, i started to cry a bit when i heard it! so amazing.

I Found A Penny!

wow, what a surprise. i haven't blog'd for months! who'da known?! haha

anywho, life.

its crazy kids.

not a ton has changed since my last post. i am now going to school at slcc, and it sucks (because ya know, school. its no fun).and...well, thats about it. i work here in there, still looking for a good steady job that i can do while i go to school, since at the moment im just doing a bunch of little jobs as they come along.

anywho, i dunno what to talk about. life? its fine. this past month or 2 i have had some of the greatest moments of my life. for real. i have been a happy happy boy! its kinda mind blowing all the things that have happened to me! i still almost cant believe it.

i dunno what all to tell you guys. i am just bored outta my mind so decided to blog.

well, max is coming to my house now. and so im kinda outta time for now

i will return. soon.

maybe

in the meantime, look at this. its AWESOME

The Ballad Continues!

Wow kids, its been awhile! so, like i said in my last post, i went on a mission to the Dominican Republic for my Church for 2 years, preaching and teaching the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, and my oh my, what an AMAZING experience that was! dont worry, a bit later i will give a more detailed account of my mission, but for now, you can go here for a semi complete version of my mission! but until then, here is a normal lame blog update that your come to love :) haha

so, im home! life is good, but holy molie no one ever warned me that coming home would be so much harder than leaving! well, to be fair, im sure someone (or more than one) told me, i prolly just disregarded it as lies.
well, its not a lie. now real life starts. people say the mission is the your training ground for real life. well, i hope i learned enough to have a good life! ha.

well, the good news, is that one of my old employers, gave me an awesome reference. so i should be talking to him wendsday for a job! i would have met with him yesterday, but i am in new york right now visiting my sister so, that wasnt exactly possible. so it will only be a super part time job, but could turn into a full time one down the road. so im pretty stoked. cuz i really need to start doing something

also, im applying for slcc. nothing too exciting, i know, but hey, i wanna get all those generals outta the way as cheap as i can. so ya, not so excited to start school again, but i need to get started on life, i want a good job by the time i get married :)

speaking of that, all my friends are getting married! man. its crazy. one of my best friends in the whole wide world is getting married in like...5, 4 days? something like that. im SOO super happy for him. he is a super lucky guy, and Meg is a super lucky girl! Congrats Sam! good luck!! cant wait to meet sam jr. :) haha

on a different note entirely (or hauntingly similar? hmmm) this is EXACTLY how i feel right now. if you dont know spanish...google translate the lyrics, i have no idea how close it will be though haha.



anywho kids, im out! but love you all, and have a good night! and tell me if there are any random things you would like me to blog about. cool beans

Your Friend,
BRADY!

Catapillers

its a miracle!

im b-b-blogin' again!

WOO!

ok, so i dont really have any good stories this time, im jsut bored and do not want to clean my room....

WAIT!

ok, i do have a story.

...

i got my mission call....

and im not going to lie

im actually really upset about it.

i was originally going to the Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission Dutch Speaking (which, a few weeks ago, was reorganized and it now is just the Belgium Netherlands Mission, and no longer has any of france in it, and no french speaking missionaries)
and i have been told that i would still be going there. but, i guess there may be some trouble getting me a Visa there. so...

i am no going to the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West mission, Spanish Speaking. leaving June 2nd.
O_o

i...i dunno what to feel. i mean, YAY, im finally going. but BOO, i dont wanna go there. i didnt want to go somewhere tropical and/or hot, and i absolutly did NOT want to speak spanish. and now i am going to a hot tropical place speaking spanish...

i mean, i know where ever i go i will think was the best mission ever, but in the back of my head ill still think, man, how awesome would it have been if i had gone where i was originally supposed to go?!

ill go where i am called to go, but i think its going to take awhile for me to accept it, and not just get depressed when i think about it...

but, my stake president is a bit on my side, he also feels strongly that i should be going to the netherlands, and is actually doing a bunch of stuff to try and get me a visa there. so there is indeed hope still! haha. i will keep you posted about that. so until June 1st, i will NOT be getting me an HLJ ring, and will stick with my KGW (kies de goede weg(choose the proper way, or choose the right path)) ring and hope :)

on a different note entirely, i have eaten 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs today.

man alive those little things are WAY too tasty. they very well might be the death of me one day...

i want to like...incubate one and see if i hatch a little cadbury creme chicken that will pop out a few eggs everyday. that would be wonderful!

...what would i feed it?!

love?

yes, i think love would work just fine.

ok, thats it for now kids.

im going to go clean my room :(

until next time kids!

-Brittney

Girls are Mythical Creatures?! Yes.

hey kids!

its been 2 months since i last blog'd! im soo sorry!

i always get crabby when people dont update theirs, and then i never do...

anywho, here i am!

i know, im excited to!

i am having some knarly allergies today, so i just took a bunch of benadryl, so if i start to make even less sense than usual, its because im falling asleep :)

ok, so here is the deal. tonight at Beta...hold that thought

here is some backround, i dont think that i have told anyone yet? or rather, told the blogging world.

so i rushed for ΣΓX (Sigma Gamma Chi) the fraturnity at the U that is sponsored by the LDS Institute and the Church. i joined the ß (Beta) chapter and i am LOVIN in. i always promised myself that i would never join one, because the majority of my friends joined them and i never saw them again...they would only hang out with those people. but, alas, most my friends are now on missions and i needed new ones! so, i joined and it is great! i have met alot of AMAZING people and i am having a great time.

so anyways, tonight after our brotherhood meeting, we pretty much just talked about the ladies all night! it was awesome. Croft made this little quiz about dating that was super goofy and sparked some hillarious conversations. but it also brought up some excellent real points. alot of what we talked about was kissing! haha so first off, i found that there are a bunch of other guys in beta who were "VL" or "sweet after mission"! so i wont be the only one! haha.

so, do i want to be sweet after mish?! not at all. but, its probably going to happen sadly! but thats ok, i can handle it haha. i have just never kissed anyone because lets face it, im a pansy! im just so scared that the girl will NOT be so stoked about it or will shut me down.... and we talked about when and where its appropriate, and just other random dating rules. deep stuff kids. deep stuff.

but, whenever someone gives me crap about being 20 and never kissing someone (which, surprisingly, isnt that often...most people actually give me props haha) but i point them out to this lil poem, that is AMAZING. its a great point and think everyone should take it into account :)

The more the dollar is printed,
The less each one is worth.

And so it is with kisses,
You've given since your birth.

The value of your kisses,
A sample cannot measure.

Nor is your kiss more worthy,
If it's said to give one pleasure.

The more and more you give away,
The better your kiss is known.

And to all the world your kiss is
cheap, and your affection shown.

But if you save your kisses,
No matter what the cost.

You'll find as time moves forward,
A chance you've saved, not lost.

And when you find the one you love,
With whom you'll live life through.

Think of the worth of a perfect kiss,
If saved "for only you."

the kid who wrote that was 19, and he knew his stuff kids. for real.

next, some good ole music recommendations that you MUST check out. amazing

first, matthew mayfield. he is freakin amazing. skip the first like 30 sec or so and you can listen to one of his best songs, "Better"




now, one of my all time favorites and a Pandora find, Peter Bradley Adams. This song, "Los Angeles" is what got me hooked! his incredibly smooth and airy vocals, and there is just so much emotion in all of his songs!




one more Peter Bradley Adams, called "The Longer I Run"



im gonna leave you with that for now, but i will sure try to post again soon!!

until next time kids!

Baggie Full of Cheerios

hey kids.

ive been trying to catch up writing all my boys on missions.

i have been partially successful. still have a few to go!

i finally had written shippy. for the first time.

i know i know, im a horrible friend :(

but i did get a glorious letter back! man oh man i miss that kid! so much! im not going to see him for like another 3 years probably....madness!

so i dunno if i have updated yall, but I am getting all my stuff together to get my call reinstated! as in, i should get a new date to leave on my mish! woohoo!

so, my life is so utterly boring. ya.

and im not all that sad about it.

ok, so thats a lie. im pretty darn bummed, but im still a super happy kid i guess haha. its just buggin me that a monday is the same as a friday. i work, come home, and thats about it. i never hang out with anyone, because lets face it, most my friends are on missions. so, i dunno what to do hahaha. the people i want to hang out with never show much interest in hangin out with me (or anyone else really, for that matter, so nothing personal :) ) and so me and the spill canvas have gotten to know each other even better haha.

speakin of which, i have a demand. you MUST go buy their new EP, called "Abnormalities". its just like 3 bucks. 3 songs. GLORIOUS. oh man. so stoked! i have been waiting for new spill for sooo long!
