hello whats up?
alright this will be fun
yeah it will be fun!
so where do you think you will go climbing next?
I think I will go climbing next rock canyon because I haven't climbed so much in the winter semester. actually i havent climbed at all I think that I need to get back into shape and make sure that I get back to the level that I was climbing at
i think i will want to go down to the south of utah again and check that area out a little more. i ahve only been there to climb once
what do you think the next big thing will be for Fortnite?
i think they will try to realease the campaign soon. they have to do something to keep the game interesting or else they will lose their aduience
dude we need should go down the Moab or St. George and go climbing there soon because that time when we went down in the winter was a blast yeah I understand hahaha. They do need to keep the audience interested. They've been doing a great job with all the easter eggs and the comet mystery in season 3
yeah and the last time me chandler and ky went there it was way fun too. im not way into the multiple pitches but there are alot of sport routes i would liek to check out
I think they will do a really great job this season with the super hero thing and all the movie themes
yeah but i feel like that hype is already dying off and that they need a game changer to keep the aduience. i think a big part of why they are doing so well is because of stre
I decided that if I go outside to climb I either want to boulder or do easy multipitches because I like to get up really high. Sport routes are too intense for me because of my PTSD from falling I cant be as competitive outside because I start to shake and I cant control it
yeah youre are pretty scared now. ive noticed it
yeah but I think I might have gotten better with my PTSD maybe. Its been more than a year now since my fall.
yeah jack says he is going to go bouldering today. to bad you are going to be doing the chit chat challenge all day today. sucker
We should go out and climb after this stupid chat thing ends and I win that macbook pro
yeah hopefully adam doesnt overtake you and make this all a huge waste of time. that would suck so much. you jsut have to keep on the grind and push through. ill be lucky if i even get the headphones.
do you miss climbing and being more competitive in a way and getting better all the time? because I remember you climbed the 5.11 something in St. George and I was super impressed and proud of my boyyy
yeah i think it would be cool to be that good again but i think the time and effort to maintain that is too much for me. id rather just do more casual climbing for now
yeah I feel you. Since I've been dating my girl and that I'll get married to her soon I don't think that I'll get super competitive or really put in as much time as I used to. I think Ill try to get big and shredded though because that is not too hard to do
climbing is way fun but i liek toher things too and if all i do is climb i wont meet other types of people and i eventually want to meet a girl and most climber girls are not my type
you just need to go tot he gym everyday for an hour and eat a lot
i like my women to be well groomed and showered
hahahah
i want to start going to the gym again but i dont eat enough to go.
granola girls can be kind of weird sometimes and have too strong of opinions on certain things that I don't think is a big deal
i need to start getting my sleep schedule on track and then i need to figure out my eating then i can go back to the gym
yeah the eating part is 80 percent of the gains
but also i need to get a job because food is so dang expensive
yeah man. maybe I can hook you up at Costco and you can buy big and cheap food in bulk so you dont spend  alot of money at the end
haha yeah like rachel. she was too much for me. and dude she has started getting kinda gross. in her posts she is always dirty i swear yeah that would be sweet. i need to get my eating habits undercontrol yo are you there
yeah man Ill help you out with that
hurry up and type faster im on this grind life right now
I remember rachel she is going downhill sort of. Chandler bet me that in a year or two rachel is going to be totally less active I've only been eating one meal a day because of this chit chat thing hahaha
haha im pretty sure she barely goes to church at all. she is always out of town or traveling on sundays. kinda sucks. she was [pretty cool but she is getting more and more gra
this challenge and Adam has gotten me so stressed and really terrible for my body
dude ive been eating snacks all day and thats it i dont eat out because i want to save money but im too lazy to make food
yeah its sad because I remember that Jack was telling me that Rachel was like always keeping him in check with the church and all that but now since she got that climbing fame one time on insta she is going crazy with that
ha yeah once this is over you should probably take some you time and do some life maintenance
I also did not like her insecure personality and like needing to lie about what she does
is she really instram famous now for climbing?
yeah I will for sure and actually hang out with my friends family and girlfriend because I owe them a lot
she is non stop posting things on instagram. and i swear it is always the sdame thing
she got instagram famous one time because her picture of her climbing in st.george made it to like a contest and Daniel Woods like commented on it and wanted to get together or seomthing. Daniel woods is kinda of a shady guy eventhough he is a really strong climber
every morning its about ow she is alone at the climbing gym and how its her safe place and she loves it then its about how people just give here stuff and she loves them. ha
lol I think all her posts are really lame sometimes because she is either doing yoga or always climbing with a caption like "oh hi Utah you are so pretty" yeah she really likes the attention she is getting
dude lets be real most of the big climbers are dirt bags that live the dirt bag lifestyle she is oon the path of becoming a pretty awesome trophy wife. her boyfriend just started med school and they seem pretty dang serious
dude you know I'd be down to live the dirtbag lifestyle if it wasnt illegal for me to just ditch school for a year or something.
she has been dating him for a while
and girlfriend will make that hard hahaha oh yeah thats right her boyfriend seemed like a super smart guy or something. I think thats why God didnt give me a green card like my brother or sister because he knew that I would do the dirt bag van life with my friends
people have this idea that hippies and dirtbags are good people because they love the earth. but they are freaky people when it comes to have realationships. there are a few different types of granola. there is a point where you just become a gross person and you just look and act slimey
these dirtbags and hippies are really back and forth with what they believe and are super vague about stuff. They think they have strong opinions but they dont because they just "love" everything
where i live there are tons of hippies and if you go to the coast there are even more. they just live in there vans and camp on the coast. i met a family on the coast once that it was a mom and dad and two little kids in a vw bus the westfalia version
I feel like those  people are like the cockroaches of the earth because they just scavange things and to not help and contribute to society and they thing they are because
the roof pops up and it turns into a little camper.
they are trying to connec to the spiritual side and all that kids and van life does not make sense because the kids need education and they need to learn about relationships outside of the family
for real. they do not help out the economy at all. they just take and say they are trying to make a change but in reality they cant really make any worth while changes because
I would like to do van life after I get married for maybe a month or two and then if I have kids then I will just keep the van to be a weekend getaway vehicle hahaha
yeah this kids were not getting the education they needed. haha this is the fastest i think you can go
hahaha how do you think they would behave when they become adults?
this kids would do the same thing their parents do. they would probably just roam from town to town maybe doing little jobs here and there
I think that when they become adult they will have a lot of different Ideas about the world and their ideas will mostly be made by their parents because that is all they knew
just enough to stay alive and just keep bumming it its difinently not healthy thats for sure.
yeah that makes sense just scraping by barely to survive. but I also think that is a good mentality if they have the mentality of just being grateful for the things they have and not wanting to feel like they need a lot of stuff they just keep simple thing around and they are happy with that but a lot of them probably arent that way
dude thats what i do i have been just scraping by for a long time now
do you feel like you have been happy because you have minimal stuff?
i never have any money and as soon as i start getting some money i start losing interested in working and then i end up quitting and then i get poor then i do the same thing its a pretty vicious cycle\
My girlfriend and i want to live a minimalistic life style because one it will save us money and two I dont think I need a lot of stuff with me. but my girlfriend has a lot of stuff that she needs to get rid of
i dont think it has anything to do with that. just being responsible and be productive is what makes you happy but you ahve to be invested in good things you cant just be spending your  time on crap and expect it to make you happy
yeah I guess that cycle and life style works fine if you are alone. I'd totally be fine with that to be honest but Im glad that I was forced to be in college because of my student status because I think I would be  a bum if not
haha good luck with that. its not a bad thing to have toys but you just need to always ready that you dont need it. i honestly think going camping every so often would be help you know to remind yourself that you dont need that much.
yeah I love to camp we need to do some camping trips this summer. camping and climbing trips
just get a backpack, canned food and a water filter and your good to go for a while
I was going to buy a backpack from joe from back country because it was half off and the bag was like 350 bucks.
this summer i want to go camping. i just need to buy a water filter and id be ready to do a week long camping trip up in the mountains.
and the bag was osprey and it was supppper nice but I found out that the bag size was only available in extra small and that wouldn't fit my body
maybe after the block classes are over i will do a camping trip. its way nice to get out way far away every so often
we should go camping up in the Uintas! i just realized that non of us have gone up to like flaming gorge or anything like that. weve only gone to like st george or moab lets go to the forests
sleeping bags are soooo exspensive though. i think that is my biggest hold up. yeah thats true di wouldnt be too bad you dont even need a tent
yeah sleeping bags are insane!
i use to just get a sleepy bad and a tarp. you get a tarp and fold it over you like taco we need to go to chans cabin soon
you know what my favorite thing is when I go camping? I love it when it rains super hard at night when I am going to bed because the rain hitting the tent and the sound it ma makes is so soothing and comforting
i dont ever have class thursday friday or monday so i can go any weekend we want i like that too but when i wake up i want it to be done raining
are you in school right now? I didnt know that what classes are you taking right now?
yeah i started philosophy this last wednsday i am taking one class each block next block i am taking humanties
I am so glad that I am not in classes right now. I was going to take the class that chandler is taking right now which is digital communications and it sounds like it is so
im hoping i meet a cute girl when im on campus sometime. i need a outlet to meet girls
much material and it doesnt sound fun at all right now. but I will probably regret it in the fall semester when I have to take it. but then again If I was taking that class I wont be able to do this chit chat thing
yeah i think it is good to take breaks every so often. does byu have two blocks in the summer or just one
BYU has the spring term and then a summer term
so is chandlers class both spring and summer or is it just sppring?
I think he got in to the fly fishing class this term so I think he is just doing spring for now. THats good because going to school non stop is really sucky. I did that when I did that last year. I did spring and summer then I did the hardest fall and winter semester of my life and I am so exhausted
so is he not taking any summer block classes then. or is he going to sign up for another one
I dont think he is taking summer classes because he only needed to take 6 credit for FAFSA and i think he got the 6 credits because of the fly fishing class
yeah i dont know what that is like. i havent been in school for the last year and a half. i blame my friends for not pushing me to get back into school;)
dude you have bad friends
oh thats nice so he will have at least a little free time before the fall semester starts what is jack going to do now?
whatever dude I remember I told you that you needed to start school again but you were just waiting so that you can get state tuition I think when jack finishes his spring term he will just work at DOMO I think
i think he is getting nervous about dating. since he is graduating i think he wants to take dating a little more serious
I hope he sticks around for a bit while oh really?
he is working full time at domo already. he is a normal employee now
I think thats good for jack to go on dates but at the same time I think he doesnt care too much either but all his good friends around him are getting marries so I think he is being influence
he is staying here. he want to live to gether in the fall.
influenced oh dope! I need to move out in the fall and winter semester hey did you read that?
i think he is getting pretty worked up about dating. i think he is finally starting to worry about it a little more
I NEED TO MOVE OUT IN THE FALL AND WINTER
you need to get rid of that hunk of junk jeep
andrew is going to be moving in to my moms place and he is going to be there so I need to move out because I dont think we have room for two people yeah I do need to. That is on my list of to dos when I finish with this challenge
haha yeah that could be a problem. why is he moving home. i thought he liked living with his friends? you need to be practical and buy a little car that gets awesome gas milleage get yourself a little car like mine
he does like living with friends but he also needs to save money and stuff I think
a little white camry that still rips when you need it to
yeah I think I might buy a little used prius from a dealership or something like that because I like saving money because gas is so expensive! its now over 3 bucks for a gallon of gas
yeah. it sounds like he has been struggling for money lately. isnt he working on campus?
he just started to work on campus and I think he is look for a second job
why doesnt he just look for another job that pays a little more. since he is allowed to have a job off campus
he just needs to find a fast job like doing custodian because sooner or later summer is going to be over
oh gotcha. he should hit up chandler and see if he can get his old job
I dont know because Andrew doesnt have a car right now. so he cant go to the office by harley davidson
haha. he could always do a call center. or he could even go work at los for a little. you work like 20 hours a week and make 11 dollars on average. you know if you are a good server
yeah he tried to apply for a call center at nuskin and he got rejected because when he was working there last year he quit.
he could work i the one on center street
I feel like serving is so inconsistent and you have to suck up to managers so you can get good tables. I rather just make consistent dough
haha thats kind of funny that they wouldnt take him back. he could work at the call center over by cafe rio. they pay pretty well. and they pay decent while youre in your trai
what company is this? I think that would be a great job for andrew
i dont remember what it is called but i remember where it is
He was looking at working for vivnt call center
its is at the end of the street that burger supreme is on
Monika needs a good job too. What is the pay do you know? and how did you find out about this were you going to apply to this job?
when i was there it was 13 an hour suring the training then the base pay is 11 once the training is over. but you can make more if you sell enough contracts if you start doing well they will start giving you income calls but that takes a while to get to that point
yeah i will ahve to tell andrew about it and see whjat he thinks. right now i think he is willing to do just about any job. how long ago did you work there? was it a pretty good job or did you hate it?
so the job is selling credit repair which i thought was pretty cool but i just hate trying to sell so i quit within the first week outside of training i worked there before my mission like right before. right after i quit i still needed a job so i started working and taryns dads warehouse
ohh gotcha I think that monika or andrew would be good work oh let me tell you something
so how does bdo work?
let me tell you about what chandler said yesterday. So he had a dream about how you just gave up everything here in Utah and moved back to california and somehow met Slawsboss and you guys hooked up and got married to her
dude id be down for that.
so Black Desert Online is a real time combat massive multiplayer online game
i dont have anything going on here i might as well fully commit to this dream
hahahaha that is hilarious
then if it happens it turns into chandler being able to seee the future
you think you can handle the unstableness of Rachel Slawson?
sure why not. what girl is stable is what i say
hahaha that is hilarious and he will not let that go. Hes going to make that joke all the time
chandlwer is actually my personal seer so im pretty sure it is going to happen. not sure when but it will happen.
ok so black desert back to it
okay go baby
you know how to play runescape right and the combat system? in runescape you just point and click and hit the people there.
the combat system? how you just click different abilities
in black desert the combat system is very different you can block and dodge skills in real time and counter attack people you dont point and click in black desert. you have a reticle and you have to am to hit your skills
yeah use to watch chandler every so often. it looks cool but im honestly more about that grind type of game play
so it s alot more fun
can you attack other players in the game? thats cool though and do they have a form of fast travel. i hate having to rune everywhere
yes you can attack players anywhere in the game but there is this point system called karma and if you just flag up on someone just to kill them then your karma points will go
well thats lame. then is there ever a reason to kill people?
down and you will be marked on the world map basically everyone will know that you have bad karma and is an assassin so anyone will be able to attack you and you wont be able to hide yeah there is. you have like fights all the time to take over the grinding spot
so if you have bad karma people will target you and team up on you and get revenge? oh i gotcha you.
but if you kill people too much then you they will call their guild members who are super strong and you guys can declare war against another guild
so there is limited resources and if someone is in you spot taking your stuff you can kill them so you can have the stuff
there is a lot of grinding in this game too so you wont be disappointed. way to make money is grinding to kill monsters and they will drop you stuff
thats pretty cool. but to be in a guild you ahve to play a ton right?
you cant take their items it doesn drop their items
wait it doesnt drop anything when you kill them not even any money? does it atleast level up some of your abilities?
it depends on the guild you want to join. some guilds you have to have like a certain gear score meaning that you need to be powerful enough to join no you just kill people for fun
thats dumb
its really satisfying when you one shot kids no trust me its really fun you will see how it works
but there is like no reward for being stronger than another player. but i guess that will be nice for me because then peple wont be as motivated to kill me yeah i think it will be fun and chandler will start playing too if i start playing
there is a ton of rewards for being stronger than other people
your are far enough in the game that you doing have to grind anymore. you can just get on and do quest with us every so often
you can do quests and help other noob friends and take over grinding spots for other people what kind of style of characters do you like?
i am not sure what are the type of characters that are in the game? like are there mages and that stuff? what are the different classes? i was just talking to andrew and he think black desert online isnt my type of game but i think i will like it as long as i have friends to play with. im pretty sure him and his buddies still play it too and chandler said he would start playing it again too. io think it will be fun. who know maybe jack will even play it with us but i dont think that type of game would be good for jack. hed probably get depressed and turn into a hermit. then just turn into a weird dude that doesnt leave  his apartment for any reason other than just to get food and survive and live his life through the game
yeah i do not think jack would do well with this type of game. but you know what i dont really think this type of game is healthy for anyone. you get sucked into it and you start living your life throught your character in the game but having said that. the game is way fun and im pumped to play with you. i wont be able to play theat much but i will definently play wioth you guys every so often. no w that i think about it. since im not in school i could play with you guys more than i thought. chandler will probably get way to into the game and play way too much. hopefully andrew will have time to play with you. i think thats who you will play with most. i think. he probably plays the most out of everyone
yeah i think andrew wants to play right now but right now i cant. i am dedicated to the chit chat challenge. dude i love my mouse pad. it makes it so you mouse always move at the same speed. you dont have to worry about your mouse sliding too fast. when you have it just on the hard desk it depends on the surface on how fast the mouse is going to move which makes a big difference when your playing video games i dont think i can go back to not having a mopuse pad
yeah I know right? I've been carrying my mouse pad around too. I need to get a really good mouse though so I can pwon some more noobs I really like the mouse that you have but I need to find a nice case in order to carry it around my back pack because I dont want to ruin that nice mouse
yeah you need to get a new mouse. my mouse is way nice but im still better with the controller so im gong to stick to that when im playing first person shooter games
Or I just need to get a controller and play on a controller because I can shoot and aim better with controllers I think If I get a controller I am going to get the ones that has a ton of  other buttons on the handle so I can build quick
yeah. jack has a headphone case that he uses to carry his mouse around
does he still have that mouse thats good
dude do you know how much those cost. they are like 150 dollars
those controllers cost that much?
i looked into thouse and they are super exspensive
holy cow.
yeah they are crazy tell me more about black desert online what are the different characters and their styles
I loved black desert because you can have slaves/workers in that game and have you earn money while you are offline. They will be able to mine or harvest items for you so that you can craft them or you can sell the materials on the market
like how many different types are there really in the game. there cant be that many right
they can make you passive money and if you level them up a lot and set up your worker empire right then you can make a shiz ton of money
oh thats way nice. when you sell the materials at the market is it to the ai or to other players?
there are a lot of different classes in the game. there is the warrior, the musa, the berserker, the sorceress, the archer, the ninja, the monk and there is a new one that just came out
thats pretty sweet but im assuming getting alot of them would take a long time
you just choose which one you want to play as and you can level them up you don't have to earn those classes.
do you think i should be the new one that came out. andrew will probably make a new character and play with that one dont you think
when you sell the stuff on the market place you are selling it to other people.
other people liek other players.
that is the only way you can trade in the game. this market system that they have makes it so that the game economy doesnt get inflated yeah other player
but if everyone is farming like you are why wouild they need your stuff?
you should play the new character because they will be really strong and this new character I saw can basically fly around the map its pretty overpowered if you ask me
can you get money fromm the ai in the game or is there a little amount of money in the game?
you can get money from the ai in the game by kililng stuff.  its the most classic way to make the money
well that will be sweet. i have to have a way to fast travel. i hate haveing to walk around everywhere oh ok i got you. so killing mobs is how most people get their money
yeah in the game there isn't really a fast travel or teleportation. you have to travel on a horse and you can breed the horses in the game and now you can breed pagasuses and they can get you around the entire black desert world really fast man I dont understand how these really popular streamers get so good at video games
yo i want a unicorn that flies that would be freaking sick as long as i dont have to walk eveywhere im good
if I had a million dollars right now I would buy a really nice computer rig and and nice desk and chair that has like 4 monitors and a nice web cam and mic so that i can start
dude when im in the zone my accuracy is the same. i dont know what you are talking about. but on the mouse i agree. i have no idea how they are so good with a mouse
my streaming career. I would use that money to fund my streaming career until I make as much money as ninja or be self sustaining yeah walking everywhere in the game is really slow but you will learn to get a horse and andrew will be able to help you find a decent horse to start with
dude i feel like if i was better at video games i could totally be a streamer. i think i have the personality to do it. i think i could relate with the community
when was a smoke grenade in fortnite? yeah dude I bet you would be a great streamer!
hopefully. i for sure need a horse. \
maybe thats what you should start doing man!
haha no i think im ok. it would be fun to play around with though
but you have to know how to edit videos for youtube and stuff so that you can make more money than just on twitch
but i dont have the money to even get started with the simplest of gear
maybe you can work really hard this summer and get that going in the fall
yeah thats true. to make money in that industry you need to be on multiple platforms and have and income coming from multiple places yeah no. im not going to work hard to just use it on streaming gear.
but streaming would be so fun though I think you would really be good hahaha I would watch you play hahaha
most streamers whenh they talk about starting their career they say to jsut start and gain a small community. to get big you ahve to be in it for a while and its not worht it
but I would mostly make fun of you on chat.
id have you flagged and banned so what is the best party of black desert online?
yeah that is ture that you have to be really in it for a long time. How long do you think a million dollars would last you until you have to work a part time job if you were just streaming full time? I think the best part about black desert online is the combat. The combat is so fluid and it does not get boring! Also there are  combos with all the skills and classes and its can be challenging to master those combos but when you pull it off it feel good man
i could make a mllion last a long time if i was being smart
its like playing tekken but on a MMO level I could surive with like 24k a year. THats what I am doing right now and I feel like I am doing really good and Im getting everything that I need.
the game sounds pretty sick. i think more than anything i want to get far enough in the game so i can go do quest with you guys. i think that will be the best part
a million dollars would last you about 42 years if you spent 24 thousand a year That is so doable if you wanted to just stream all day
hahaha that would be pretty sweet. the problem is finding that million dollars
a million dollars could last you a life time if you were smart about it too hahaha
streaming would be cool but i dont think it would be very satisfying for me for sure you just invest most of it in the right places and youd be golden
yeah I need that million dollars right about now. I could use that so much right now. I wouldn't be doing this thing first of all because I would buy my own mac book. second of all I would help my mom get out of debt and we would own our own house instead of paying rent and I probably would be married already hahaha
yeah that is true. dude thatd be sweet to be able to help out your mom that much. when does she expect to be able to start saving instead of having to pay off her debt.
yeah I would love to do that. Its one of my goals right now. Its too get financially stable enough so that my mom can retire basically
like how many years left does she think she has?
she thinks she will be able to pay off all her debt in like this year I am not sure to be honest I think she has like 7 thousand in debt she has to pay. and 90 percent of solmee's salary is going to that right now
oh wait that isnt that bad. i assumed it would take longer. but i guess she has been paying it off for a while? solmee coming in clutch. is she going to school at byu too or is she going uvu
yeah shes been paying it off for a while. she hates that all her money that she is making is just giong staight to paying off debt she will be going to UV U in the fall and I think shes pretty excited to start. i think that she will be transferring to BYU soon though.
that will be nice to be back in school. where is she working right now?
yeah I think she is getting bored of just working. She is working at Nuskin call center doing korean and english customer service. can I tell you a story? its really awesome and I am very proud of my sister and my mom for it.
sure
so when I went on my mission my mom stopped working as a nurse for a bit because I think she was trying to get a green card or something like that and so because they had to stil pay bills my mom and my sister worked at this pho restaurant called pho plus here in provo and orem. my mom worked her butt off in the kitchen from the morning till the evening and my sister worked as a server there. They worked so hard so that they could one pay off bills and debt but also so that they can help save money for me so that I can go to my first semester of college when I came back from my mission. They had to save 4 thousand for a school deposit and then 5 thousand for like the school tuition my sister and my mom didn't spend a dime on anything they wanted really.... they all sacrificed for 2 years while I was on my mission so that i can start school. i at least owe my sister a decent laptop for her school year.
thats pretty cool that they did that for you. so are you planning on giving her the mac that you will e=get from this challenge? i bet she will be way happy to get that from you.
the reason that I am doing this challenge and trying to get the macbook because I actually need this for my work and stuff because my laptop right now is broken. but I am going to buy her a nice laptop instead of a macbook because macs are just way too expensive. I might get her an asus probably. or a Dell xps those are actually really nice computers. macbooks are nice and they last a while but I cant shell out that much money for my sister's laptop right now
that would be good. what job are you talk about?
this laptop that I will get from this competition I will be able to basically save 2500 bucks my User Experience Design job and my career. There is a program called Sketch app that I need a macbook for  because sketch app does not work on windows computers
are macs pretyy good for that type of work or do  that clash with alot of the other platforms
yeah mac books are nice for designing and stuff like that because it has retina display and stuff I hope that I win this macbook. I am going to do this all night tonight so that I can  make a lot of points so that I can get ahead of adam I cannot let him get any chance to have a lead because he was being malicious and unfair and he tried to blame he for all the ghost chats and stuff to other people but when I told him that I took all the videos of the ghost chats and the calculations on his scores he wimped out and was not so tough on chat anymore and then he left
it sounds like he really wants this mac maybe you should juts let him have it
but unfornately he didn't get disqualified. I think that the professor didn't want to because they can't really get the proof unless they scrap people's IP addresses but thats a lot of work hahaha no way! I invested too much time in to this and I can't back out now
no way you cantback out. youve got to keep grinding.
yes I do! like i said I am going to do this all night and sleep for like a couple hours and then come back so that I can keep making points its going to be hard but its going to be worth it okay anyway enough about that hey throw me one
i think in a little bit i want to get a pizza and some soda. some moutain dew sounds way good right now
apparenlty papa murphy's is having a sale and you can get a large pizza for like 7 bucks
one of the papas of pizza is having a big discount right now i think oh yeah
hey Ill buy the food. Ill get the pizzas and the sodas. I would just need someone else to pick them up for me so i can keep chatting
i think i will get something from there in a little bit. im craving some black desert online right now too. or maybe some fortnite
yeah me too... I need a bit of a break but I can't let adam to get even a little bit of a lead on me. the closest he has gotten to me was like 300 thousand away from me. and I cannot let that happen because i have a 600 thousand ish lead right now and he can catch up really quick
i think you will be fine you just have to put those thoughts of taking a break down in the deepest parts of your soul and keep pushing.
I have a 586470 lead on him right now.  yes totally I just need to keep pushing and not rest because the slow and steady wins the race but do you know who will even beat that? fast and steady and I am fast and steady right now
im just hoping i can get some headphones. but who knows i might not even like them but at least i will know that i can do hard things
these headphones are I think pretty nice the bose noise canceling headphone are probably really comfortable. I remember in the IT building there was a lost and found headphone made by senheissers and those were
do you know iof they have  cables or are they the ones that are cordless and just have the buds
studio quality head phone and i look them up online to see how much it cost and it wasl ike 300 bucks
are these over the ear headphones then or what/
and those headphones were like the best headphones I have ever had and the sound quality and the music was on a whole nother level I bet these bose headphones will be somewhat close to that quality
i have some pretty sweet headphones right now but you can always have more than one pair
unfortunately someone stole those headphones from the room and I lost it forever these are over the ear headphones
oh gotcha so when was the last time you went swimming. im pumped for swim season to come. its so close. i am ready to start cliff jumping again and to hopefully be able to go wake boarding a few times. i am also excited to start cat fishing again. i think that is one of the chillest types of fishing. you just cast and let it sit. its my type of fishing
I think the last time I actually went swimming it was like up in Smith and Moorehouse lake by park city. I went rope swinging with chandler and jack I would love to go cliff jumping or fishing this summer like I said we need to go to flaming gorge because we can go camping there and hike there and do some really good fishing there and cliff jump!
i heard about that place but i never went. im not into swimming in really cold water though. deer creek is even too cold. where is flaming gorge
there are some really good spots to cliff jump there and the highest I jumped was 40 feet high or something like that in flaming gorge
i have heard of it but im not sure where it is anything over 40 feet is not for me. i just get water jammed up my nose if i go any higher than that
deer creek is way too freezing. that is why I hate water sports and swimming because the cold water drains my body or heat therefore it takes about my energy then I also have to swim which I am not good at and because its cold I get even more tired and then I get exhausted
i love really hot weather because it makes swimming that much better
yesssss I love hot water too. I remember in korea there was a beach and the water was insanely warm I loved it cold water sucks so bad no matter how hot it is outside
thats why i like going home for the summer because there are so many places to go swimming and it is so hot that it feels so good i thought korea was a pretty cold lpace does it have a place that is like california that never gets good
korea isn't that cold in the summer
or does it get cold everywhere there?
and the ocean water isnt that cold in the summer either
my brother was saying that it gets super cold in the winter wait really. i forget what ocean is around it. which is it?
Korea has all the seasons like in utah except it has humidity so it get really cold in the winter and really hot in the summer. I wish I lived in a place where it was hot all year. i cant remember what ocean it is.
you could live in palm springs. i went there not that long ago in the winter and it was in the high 70's
look at myth on TV and his eyes. his focus is insane! where is palm springs? is that in southern california?
yeah he gets pretty weird when he streams sometimes yeah that is southern california
I think it would be really fun for a while to live super southern california. Like even past LA or something
so san diego why would you want to live there? i think if i could choose to live anywhere i would want to live somewhere in oregon
yeah san diego would be really nice. I think I would like to live there for a little while because it will be super warm and I think that the ocean one thing i really like about california is just how many poeple there are. i wouldnt want to live in a city but i would like to live  close to one. i want to live like an hour outside of a city so i have the benefits of a city but i dont have to live in one. i want to live in a city with 100 thousand to 200 thousand people and have a city near by i would want to live in california but the cost of living there is just so crazy high
yeah i think it would be way cool to live in southern california but i agree it is way to exspensive i think living close to a beach way be way awesome though but i would prefer there not being a bunch of people there
so pluralsight called me just barely and they told me some good news and bad news. so did I tell you how the internship is going to be like?
no
so basically there are 4 teams that consists of UX designer and a product manager and they are picking 4 product interns out of the 8 that interviewed on friday well justin and anna are one of the teams and they could not decide who they wanted to pick so they wanted to do a video interview with me on Monday at 1 pm so that they can get to know me better because they didn't get to really get to know me on friday. this is kind of stressful because i have no idea what is going on!!!!! and I was supposed to get back to BYU OIT by today so that I can tell them what is happening with the Pluralsight product internship and now I have to email them again to tell them that hey have to wait for another few days... i really feel bad for making them wait for a really long time because BYU OIT really wants to hire me
where would you have to go for this job
I would be working in South Jordan but the frontrunner literally takes me to the office building
which one pays more?] and which looks better
the pluralsight will pay me 20 bucks and Pluralsight would look way much better on my resume and the Momentum climbing gym is right across the freeway!!!
that would be cool but you know youd never go there youd be taking classes and working at the same time
no its just for the summer I think I don't think I could work outside of campus and come back to campus for school and stuff because i would hate to commute I've spoiled with on campus jobs that I dont think I can change
wait i thought you couldn't have a job off campus?
thats why i am glad that I didnt take the symantec job that chandler has because the commute is like 30 minutes there and you would be wasting 1 hour everyday for work I can get a job off campus if it is related to my job
oh cool i didnt know that. that is not so bad then hey im getting kind of bored of this.
yeah its not so bad but I have to do all kinds of paper work so that I can work off campus and I have to be approved for that you can get off if you want to no pressure hahaha
sorry but you are boring me just a little ok
well if you want i can tell you some fun stories from my childhood
hahah ok sounds good I like that idea
alright so when i was six years old we planned on going to my cousins in washington for christmas. so we opened all our presents on christmas eve and left for washington christmas morning. in my olod house we had a wood stove that we always used. we took the coals out christmas eve night and let them cool and in the morning we put them in the trash. the trash can was full of wrapping paper and then the coals were on top.
oh no i think i know where this is going
so we left for washington and that day it was super windy and reignited the coals and the trash can caught on fire in our back yard. no one could see the fire and it spread to the back porch and then the whole house. by the time people saw the fire it was way too big and eveyting was destroyed but a few pictures and my dads mission scriptures then a cop stopped us on the freway in oregon and told us what happened. they said we probably all would not have made it out safely and thats my crazy story
a cop stopped you on the freeway??? that is crazy they must have called the officers in oregon and then told them to look for a car that looked like yours that is kind of cool did you not have cell phones or anything like that back then? like your parents I mean
yeah our neighbors told them where we were headed and when we left and they had cops keeping a eye out for us yeah we didn thave cell phones at the time ok so ready for another story?
yeah for sure that was a pretty good one haha
so when I was younger I was going to a tae kwon do practice and my stomach wasnt feeling too well. So anyway I went to practice anyway and didn't have the best time my stomach was really angry at me. anyway I was walking home in my white tae kwon do robe and guess what. My stomach couldnt hold it anymore. and my stomach released the fowl terrible thing from my stomach and after that my pants were not so white but I was only half way to my house
youre nasty haha
hahaha I had to release more of it in a bush right after that
how old were you?
I was like 6 or 7 hahaha
oh i guess thats ok then. you were not the age of accountability yet.
hahaha yeah i guess hahaha that was the worst. I never pooped my pants after that
ive got a story for you.
tell me
when i was little i use to wear cowboy boots and it was raining outside so i put them on. me and my sister went outside to play on this big pile of logs and i slipped because cowboy boys dont have grip and i busted my chin and had to get stiches
i think its really interesting that Myth the streamer uses the sub machine gun a ton in Fortnite and he sometimes take that instead of a shotgun. ouuuch
yeah its sucked. i really dont remember it though do you have any other stories?
for sure buddy
I like to read em
so when i was little i was obsessed with climbing trees and i really loved tarzan. i was at my friends house playing in their tree fort and their tree is pretty close to the ground it had lots of branches so i tried swinging from branch to branch like tarzan and it worked for a second but i eventually slipped and fell from the tree. i really wasnt crazy high off the ground but it still hurt like crazy. the scariest part was that there was a board of wood with a nail sticking straight up right next to where i fell. it hurt like crazy but i was so lucky i didnt land on the nail thats all. haha
hahah holy cow you could have been dead! that is so scary hahaha. I never stepped on a nail or got hurt by one so I am lucky too but not as lucky as you!
so another time when I was living at this apartment complex when I was really little my siblings and I wanted to go out and play in the snow because it was snowing like crazy and we wanted to make a big snow fort. well the place we were living at was a student housing area so the grass that we were playing in wasn't like a play ground of anything we found a huge refrigerator box and we started stacking snow and tried to make a big fort. There was a young blonde college girl that came out of nowhere and yelled at us and said that she was going to call the cops if we didnt leave so we got scared and we went back inside
haha college kids are jerks. i dont see why should would even care thats kinda weird. ive got a story since you told a story about climbing in trees it made me think of when i almost fell out of one. one time i was climbing in this super big tree in my neighbors yard with a friend. we were at least 15 feet in the air. i was sitting on a branch with my feet dangling and then the branch broke and i fell but i was super lucky because i fell on a little bit down onto another branch on my stomach. it hurt pretty bad but i did get hurt. i would have definetly broke something from that fall if i wasnt caught by that branch
thats crazy you got pretty lucky too. i bet your buddy was freaking out when you started to fall. haha
yeah he was pretty scared. i was like 10 when this happened. do you have another story?
yeah just let me think for a second. haha ok ive got one
shoot
so i use to be a little punk when i was younger we use to make works bombs. works is a toliet bowl cleaner that when you mix it with tinfoil it reacts and will expand a waterbottle if you seal it inside. so we use to doorbell ditch peoples houses and put them on the door and watch from a distance it would explode and be super loud. it didnt hurt anyone but it scared them pretty bad. haha
thats bad but also pretty funny hahahaha so im assuming you were in high school when you were doing those pranks
yeah i was a freshmen right around that same time me and my dad had a little project we made a potato cannon and it was sweet. it was so strong that i would put screws in the potato and then shoot it at this old shed in my back yard and it blew a hole through it. ahah we also you to play a game where you would shoot it straight up in the air and freak out as it fell. ha
what the heck that sounds a little dangerous haha did you live in the country or something?
kind of but not really. i lived on the outskirts of town
oh cool. i kind of did too so what else did you do for fun when you were a little kid?
honestly when i was little i was just always outside. we went swimming a ton. we had a pool in our back yard and it definetly got its use in the summer we would get in it everyday.
i loved swimming too.
hey so what did you think about attack on titan? or rick and morty? what is your favorite tv show right now?
i loved it but i honestly dont remember that much about it anymore my all time favorite show is probably the last kingdom or maybe new girl im not sure i have a few favorites
oh nice I've never seen last kingdom! what is that about?
it is about the viking era. it is way cool. it is so brutal but it has a good balance of love and violence
oh cool! I am watching new girl right now. did you know that this is the last year for Warped Tour??????????????
yeah i heard about that.
its kind of insane. I heard that the guy who's been in charge of this whole thing is just like sick of organizing it
and the line up in utah is trash there is no one good coming here i bet he was doing pretty good finacially though. its a bummer that its ending though have you ever been to any rock concerts?
oh yeah. i love rock concerts. i think they are the funnest type of concerts. they get so wild i went to warped tour last summer and it was a party. blessthefall did an amazing job. their stage performance was on point. they got everyone jumping around and having a good time. i probably crowd surfed at least 20 pepople to the front in wone song
thats crazy and it sounds like a way cool concert. i wish i went to it this last summer. they had some cool bands that went.
yeah. they had a wide variety. there were some weird bands there too though. ha do you knwo how they organize it?
yeah they have like multiple diferent stages going at once.
yeah so you can just go to another stage if you dont like the band at the one you are at and if you ahve a certain band you want to see you just plan to be at their stage when they are playing
yeah the way they do it is pretty cool i just wish they would release what time the bands are playing before the day of.
yeah that would be nice but i think they do it like that so people will show up as early as they can. if they told you ahead of time youd probably just wait to go there for when the bands you want to see are there they want you there looking at the merch and stuff
yeah that makes since
alright i got another story for you
k make it interesting
there is this place i like to go to on the coast. it is so pretty. you drive through the redwoods to get there and the drive is gorgeous. once you get to the camping spot you set your stuff up and then you are surrounded by different hiking spots
ooh i love that
there is this canyon that is covered with ferns and it is beyond green the walls are completely covered and there is a little stream that runs through the middle one time when i was there we were just sitting around the camp fire and a elk came wandering into our camp site around there they are so protected that they arent afraid of the campers
ooh i saw a moose when I went up hiking up to stewart falls the other day
so he just walked up to us just about 20 feet away it was way cool they say there are problems with bears around there too but i havent be lucky enough to spot one when i was there wait thats cools
I heard that there is bear crossing signs in california
i ahve only ever seen one moose it was when i was hiking in utah about a year ago he was super far away though. you could barely tell it was a moose yeah there are alot of bears in california
yeah this moose that I saw had a collar around it next no wonder the bear is on the state flag of california
one time i saw a mom and a cub crossing the street in california. the mom ran in front of a trucker and was fine but the baby didnt make it in time and got hit i watched the trucker pull the baby cub off to the side of the road. it was way sad
oh so sadddd you got any crazy girl stories? do you date much?
not too much right now
when did you first start dating a girl?
the first girl i ever date was when i was serena
and how did that go?
hahaha
for me the first girl I really started dating is my current girlfriend right now. I met her 7 ish months ago
so i was 15 and never really liked a girl that much. we started hanging out at school at first.  but we were still young so we didnt hang out outside of school very much. but she was way cool. she was not mormon so there were some problems there but for the most part she was a really good girl. she really wasnt the best influence on my because i was not really that active at the time.
yeah I heard that dating a non mormon can be really hard
she did not do anything bad but she also didnt push me to be active either. after a while we started getting too close and it started causing problems when i went to efy and started wanting to be better
oh no...
something funny about that relationship was that when we were dating for her birthday i bought her a hampster
a hampster hahaha sorry for laughing. keep going
me and hwer mom got together and bought her everything she needed to have a pet hampster youre good haha but me and her would usually just go down to my creek and go fishing or alot of times we would just go swimming since it is so hot where i live but in the end she ended up cheating on me and leaving. when i was 15 i thought it was the end of the world but soon realized there are other pretty, nice girls out there. i dated a four girls when i was in highschool and only one was good for me and that relationship didnt last that long. ahaha
The first girl that I dated was back in middle school. her name was Shyloh and we liked each other a ton she was really cute and she was my first kiss but that was about the extend of it hahaha. she always wanted me to come over to hang out at her house  but I felt like I shouldn so I never did so she wrote a note and shoved it in my locker to break up with me hahaa i feel like sometimes the good things dont last for some reason
haha thats funny it sound like you were a shy kid how old were you
i was like 11 or 12
oh funny alright i want to tell you some stories from weheni was a punk they are super funny so when i was a freshmen in highschool we use to do pranks all the time.
ok I have some stories for you too
one time i was at my friends house and we gathered all of my friends moms soap and wait until it was night time then we took all the soap we could find and we ran through this neighborhood to this fountain we threw all of the soap in there and in the morning there were bunches of soap the size of bikes on top of houses it had overflowed so much half of the road was covered it was EPIC best prank every the only scary thing is that a guy was taking our piictures when we went back to check it out.
oh my that is so sick!
i think he was trying to get us in trouble. but i dont see how he could. haha it was honestly so funny
holy cow that is so funy
yeah i have another one when I was in high school
ok tell me i love your stories hahaha
ok so I was in high school and my buddy had a twin who also had a girlfriend and they decided to go to EFY for some reason. We thought that was the lamest thing and so we had a bright idea to find him at EFY in BYU and water balloon him and his girlfriend but mostly his girlfriend. so we filled up our car and we decided to go find him. Apparently he should have been around the creamery on the 9th but he wasnt there so we just drove around campus and nailed some college kids that were out for a run. We would yell hey looks like you need some water and then tried to hit them hahaha anyway we drove back to the school to try to find him again but we couldn't so we just decided to hit other EFY kids there. Well we missed all our shot and we started to drive away when this guy on a motorcycle pulls up next to us at the light and tells us to pull over
holy cow this is getting good
my buddy who was driving was like no way im not listening to you  and we drove away and tried to lose him but we couldn't out drive a motorcycle. We then all got home after that. man it was scary. and a bit later and i got a phone call from the police wanting to speak to me he said that there were people who wanted to press charges against me but I didn't hit anybody. i was just there to support
huh maybe because you were there it counts?
yeah i dont know what the exactly law is but anyway because I was a minor I was let off thank goodness.... I also never have seen my mom so angry in my life
hahaha I can only imagine i never got in trouble with the law but I have been in trouble with my parents many times. I think though I was a well behaved kid for the most part of my childhood hahaha. Im not saying that you are a bad kid though hahaha
haha no worries
thats so crazy that you have so many stories. I bet you learned a lot from being mischivous
I dont know about that hahaaha There was this one time when my friends and I didn't go to a sadie's dance and we decided to do a prank somehow at the dance my friend had an idea that we should find a duck and capture it and release it on the dance floor so we went to a near by pond and find a duck and captured it with a box. Then we covered the duck with some cloth around its head so that it wouldn't freak out so much. weirdly enough it worked hahaha anyway after that we drove to our high school and somehow I watched my friends sneak in to the dance floor. I came in later for some reason. Then they somehow released it in the dance floor and the duck was lose and started to fly everyway everywhere* it was so funny to see everyone's reaction.
oh hahaha  so what happened to the duck do you know?
yeah the duck was captured by a custodian that night and he released it somewhere I dont know where though
oh thats good. happy that the animal wasn't harmed except I bet it was traumatized when it realized it teleported to a danced floor hahaha
hahah yeah i was surprised that the duck did not freak out when we captured it aren't you sick of listening to my stories?
no not really hahaha I am just chilling and watching some netflix while reading your stories. I am doing just fine haha
oh ok good I felt bad that I was talking the entire time hahaha
man i am hungry
yeah me too. Im having my friend pick up some pizza and some MTN DEW
you have a good friend hahaha
yes I have amazing friends hahaha I am really grateful for my friends in my life because they have really edified my life in such great ways they support me in all that I do and they try to talk to me out of it otherwise If I am not making great choices. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my friends
yeah me too I love all my friends. but I did have some untrustworthy friends back in high school who used me a lot for my car
oh yeah those kinds of friends are the worst. I call them leeches
thats a good word for it
yeah they suck. I hate it because those kinds of people just use you for their own gain and they dont want to help you at all they don't care about you or your well being and they fake being your friends its really terrible
yeah totally true. I am glad I called them out and then I just ignored them later
yeah thats the best way. I dont like creating or being in dramas so I just ignore people that I need to that are parasitic towards me I had a few friends like that in high school and my real friend help me to stay away from them and we never really included them in anything that we did
like your water ballooning?
hahaha yeah. they actually would have come with us if we invited them because they would have thought that it was cool which I thought it would have been funny to do back in the day but now that I look back like if I was on the receiving end and I got drilled by a water balloon by a drive by by highschool kids I would be furious but Im not the type of person that festers anger and grudge towards things like that. I usually just get over it very quickly and move on with my life. I think this is the best and healthy way to live your life. just keep on swimming and dont sweat the small stuff. Yeah bad things will happen to you sometimes but those things dont matter and it will pass real soon.
those are some great words to live by I like that a lot hahaha
thank you what are some words that you live by?
some words that I live by is to be grateful in our own circumstances.
yess president uchtdorf!
yes exactly! that talk was amazing and I feel like reading it again right now hahaha. Its so good and I really love the counsel that he gives to us.
yeah totally we need to be grateful for what we have and in our circumstances then we will be a lot more happy and we will be able to live our lives in a more positive way yeah totally true thank you for reminding me about that. I think Ill go and read that talk again too because I think I could be more grateful lately
oh yeah why is that?
well i've been in a lot of financial stress lately and I have been blaming other things around me and I've been blaming life in general and how it was unfair that rich kids and their parents have it so easy when people like me have to work so hard to not only provide for myself but for others too and its hard
oh wow you sound like you have a pretty tough life right now
but you know what I am grateful for my circumstance and what I have now and what God has helped me so far with I just need to keep on keeping on and one day i will be out of this finacial mess that is one of my biggest goals in life. which is to not be in debt or be financially stable and that doesnt mean to make a lot of money because money does not mean happiness
yeah for sure but money does buy you a ferrari hahaha
hahaha yeah that would be really nice to have I would love to drive a ferrari sometime but I would be so scared that I would crash it or something or scratch it because its so expensive to fix but i guess if I am rich enough then its fine it would be like a normal expense
yeah I can't imagine to be so rich like that where I would think like a thousand dollars is chump change
that actually would be nice hahaha. I would love to get to where I would think a thousand buck is like how I treat just a dollar now.
hahahaah I think that would be so nice. I would love a thousand dollars right now
right? man I could do so much with that much with that money*
what would you be doing if you had that much?
i think i would buy more climbing gear. like new shoes, an 80meter rope that has a different rope pattern when half way through the rope, a grigri, uhh a backpack to carry everything in oh and quick drawas draws* I would also get some alpine draws, personal anchoring system, and a reversal belay device
wow that is a lot of stuff. how much will all that cost you?
all that would probably near me around that much a thousand but I can get discounts because of my friend hahaha
oh hahaha benefits! I wish I had friends like that could get me discounts for things that I want to buy
yeah I've gotten lucky not only with good non dramatic friends but also friends that can give me a lot of cool benefits so i am watching some pro player play league of legends and he is so good I can't believe it but i think that league of legends will die pretty soon like give it another year because of fortnite I dont think league of legends has a chance to catch up to the magnitude of what fortnite has fortnite has a huge audience. Because its a shooter video game everyone loves it. you dont have to be an ultimate nerd to play fortnite. league of legends on the other hand draws to audiences who are more hard core and each game takes about 30-minutees to an hour so its a lot of time dedication but fortnite doesnt need that much dedication you can get so many games in with in an hour and you feel like you've played a ton because you can get a lot of rounds in. league you can't its a lot of time commitment i also think because fortnite is on multiple platforms it draws a lot more people to it. and its free to play!
you really like video games dont you?
hahah yeah sorry i am babbling too much
no its totally fine. Im just chilling I like to hear what you have to say!
ok cool thanks! also I think that because Drake the rapper, basket ball and pro football players, and even reknowned DJs like Marshmellow  are playing fortnite and bragging about their victory royales more people know about this game than any other and it appeals to the general public a lot more because of these famous people playing it also this guy named Ninja who is a pro fortnite player got on the news because he makes like 500k a MONTH just playing that video game live on Twitch.tv A MONTH that is so insane. I wish I could play video games and make that much money
yeah me too so im going to switch the topis. topic what type of vidoe games do you lie the most.? i like first person shooters but im thinking about getting more into massive multiplayer online. i think it would be fun to get into those type of games and play with your friends.
yeah i like those type of games. i play black desert online. you should try it out. have you heard of black desert online? it is by far one of my favorite games. its not  like most mmo's. in this one you dont just point and click you actually use aim when you are fighting and stuff
what position do you like to play when you play league??
i like to play bot and jungle. I usually like to play jungle the most because laning can sometime be stressful especially bot side. I like to have a chill game in the early ga game.
what characters do you jungle with?
my best jungler is Xin Xhao and I also love to play diana. I tend to lean more junglers that are assassin and is also tanky because of their sustainability I also really like to play bot side because I love to play vayne. Man when you get ahead in bot side it is so much more of a snowballing effect because it crushes their mental game and you can take a huge lead and finish the game really easily I used top lane all the time and that is how I climbed out of the bronze lane I played a lot of jayce and I also played a lot of darius. when it was like season 3 or season 4 no one on the top side knew how to play against jayce or darius and it was really fun. I wish that they didnt nerf Jayce because now he uses so much mana and I hate it and its hard to play jayce unless you have a blue buff with you the entire game.
oh wow hahaha I played some mid a little bit but I didnt play as much as you i think hahaah
yeah I played wayyy to much since junior year in middle school. I actually kind of regret it now that I look back and think that I have had that much to  play and not be productive or learn to do other things that will be useful or increas my knowledge. I wish I that I learned the importance of self mastery and the importance of learning back in junior year of high school because I need to learn
yeah i wish that I did the same thing too. I wasted a lot of time just sleeping or doing really nothing at home. I think that I need to do even more of that since I dont have a ton of things to do now hey I cant see what I am typing so Im going to reset oh actually it came up it was just really slow
oh good hahaha on my favorite youtube video channel growing up was the balloon studio I think or actually it was the david blaine series
tell me about it
so there was this guy who acted like he was david blaine. He wore a sharpie mustache and beard and wore a black hat and really made ufn of david blaine hahaa so the videos were these guys who would be walking home from the car and david blaine would show up and he would be like guys let me show you a magic trick. then they would freak out and be like no go away you are the devil. He would turn their orange sodas to gold fishes and take away their wallets and stuff like that my words right now dont do justice though hahaha I sometime suck at describing stuff
no youre good. i think i have seen some of those videos
so let me tell you about a dream i had the other day. I was somewhere in the rolling grassy greens of the netherlands, i remember frolicking and galloping through the flowers.
yeah tell me i tihnk dreams are so weird. but way funny
I got really hot so i went to find a pond, this pond was very luscious and had lots of fish and life swimming through it. bees were buzzing and butterflies were landing on the plants and flowers around me. It was sunny and the weather was nice, the water was icy blue colored and you could see deep into it. It was such a vivid and beautiful scene i could have stayed there forever, i remember i was wearing a red swimsuit and i had taken my shoes off. I looked around me and suddenly this building almost lodge like in its
whoa. sounds like you are writing a novel.
characteristics and structure was behind me tucked into the crevice of the mountain and enclosing the part of the water where the lake seemed to get deeper. I heard a commotion within the building and i was drawn to its sound.
im just going to sit back and enjoy the novel
I slowly walked towards the looming lodge that was huge and shaped like a cylinder cut in half and laid flat side down. their were steps that led up to a doorway extruded from the side of the wooden building. I walked up these and looked towards the doorway to see it was ajar. I peered into the doorway and saw many people, in tribal like attire and wetsuits with messy hair almost attaining surfer like qualities. I opened the door and walked in to see a room with nitrogen tanks and masks, vests that strapped onto the yellow tanks and people walking around with their wetsuits pulled down to their waists in a relaxed mannor. I was scuba certified many years ago while i was still in highschool so i knew how the gear worked and how to dive myself and felt apart of the commotion going on within the building.
continue
I looked around the room and began to understand that the floor was glass and underneath the floor was the ocean, where you could see figures beneath its surface jetting back and forth, light and dark blurred bodies dancing underneath the light that came in through the ceilings windows. I saw at the corners of the room that there were edges where the glass floor turned to water and realized that this is where the people in the building were entering the water to dive below with the dancing blurred figures below I wanted to see, to understand, what it was that was underneath the water, i slowed my pace as the anticipation within me to understand what was just beyond my view was about to be revealed to my eye. I came up to the edge of the glass and looked at the water. there were steps on the furtherest side from me so i walked down these into the water, which was cold but not unbareable
you are pretty good at story telling. aha
I finally came up to my chest in the water, but suddenly i was afraid. afraid of what those things below the surface might be. i went for it and ducked into the water, i swum deeper into the water to see that there where whales of all kinds flipping and playing with their young circling around eachother like a dance. i saw blue whales and killer whales. but the killer whale were fast and big and they would dart past me in a blur while i could only move at a steady rate and realized that i was not in my element. I was on their turf and if they decided to attack me i would be a goner. I quickly turned around and got out of the water frightened of this experience i was panting and scraping for the air in my lungs as i was so shocked by the scene i didnt realize i was drowning. So i sat there taking in deep breathes afraid bu
wait serious how did you get so good at writing
also wanting to get back into the water and watch the whales play. it was such a majestic scene and i couldnt believe  my eyes. but i felt a deep pit of fear in my heart and could not bear up the courage to get back into the water. I was sitting there when a girl with blonde hair down to her waist walked past me with scuba gear jumping into the water like it was her second job. She swam for a bit before she surfaced again and pulled the wet gear from her body, i wanted to learn how to not be afraid of the water so i walked up to her and asked her to teach me how the behavior of the whales was and if i should be afraid of them or not. i wanted her to accompany me on my next dive. she agreed to teach me and right as we were gearing up to go, a show started that she needed to be apart of, at that point i realized i was at a summer camp and the end of the camp video was going on and all the kids there creating the commotion  were doing their final ceremony. she lept up and ran to be apart of the show and just like that i lost the opportunity of a lifetime to dive with killer whales then i woke from the dream almost immediately after with a pang of guilt and frustration in my heart knowing i could not reverse my decision to be afraid of the unknown. I thought about why my subconscious wanted me to see those images and experience those emotions and i learned that i had been stunting my growth because of the fear of the unknown in my real life.
so this was all a dream?
I then vowed that i would make it a priority of mine to go scuba diving with killer whales someday before too long to pay my respects to the beings that helped me understand a crucial lesson that has helped me to make life altering decisions since then without lettin my fear overcome me. I am very grateful for the fact that i can dream so vividly and that my recall on many of my dreams is very good. because i have talked to many people over the years and learned that not everyone dreams in color and also that not every one dreams as often as i do. i think that dreams help me to overcome a lot of trials through dealing with feelings and emotions that come out because of these dreams and yeah that was all just a dream.
hahahahaha youre pretty good. usually i wouldnt be ok with just listening because its the chit chat challenge but that was way good. youre and awesome writer so do you ahve any cool plans for after the contest. you knwo. once you get your life back
My life before this mostly consisted of playing video games. I play a lot of fortnite and another game called black desert online I love MMO's They're super fun But they are very time consuming I also play a lot of league of legends. You've probably heard of the game before. It's super popular right now. Just kidding
yeah dude i think we talked about that already. y are you sure youre doing ok. maybe you should take a break
No I'm fine
let me catch up a little
I need to win this chit chat competition I actually have to spend most of my time studying for actuarial exams I'm taking one in a couple months. The test consists of financial mathematics Bonds, perpetuities, annuities, etc I actually want to go visit Korea this summer as well
well it sounds like your life is not that different than right now. right now youre just busy with chit chat right now but you always seem busy anyways this summer? really? when do you think you would have time to do that?
I'm not sure but I want to fit it in somewhere. I haven't been back to Korea for like 15 years. It's been a really long time. All of my cousins, aunts, and uncles are there. It's only my immediate family members that are in the U.S. I really miss them so I want to go see them soon Plus the political situation between North and South Korea have been getting resolved now I'm not sure if you heard but recently the two leaders from both sides met up at the border and shook hands. Both of them even crossed to the other side which may not seem like a big deal but because there's been so much tension for such a long time, seeing them shake hands was amazing The two sides haven't been on good terms for such a long time that I think it's such a huge step for these two counties
oh wow is awesome! I heard that south korea has credited Trump for the peace
It's super cool that the US is going to help the North Koreans help their economy as well. They just have to agree to giving up their nuclear weapons! I think that will make other countries around the world feel more safe. Wouldn't you think that as well? I recently saw Childish Gambino's new song called "This is America." It's very well done. He is a genius when it comes to making songs and the music video was well done too. If you haven't seen it yet, you should go watch it.
I think he also talks about black lives matter
He addresses gun violence, black people propaganda, etc
yeahhhh
Yeah apparently the facial expressions he makes throughout the music video resemble some controversial topics from the U.S. history.
jis musioc is pretty cool though. i can not remember the last time i listened to one of his songs though. it has been a while.
There's a bunch of videos out there right now picking apart the lyrics and the scenes in the music video to capture everything he wanted to convey
i need to scheck himout again. i know i use to really like his stuff. i bet i still would if i just pulled it up again.
It's too soon to tell but I really hope he wins an award for this song. It's so great! Even better than Drake's recent hit, God's Plan lol
another cool artist i like is j cole. i like it because most of his song have some type of story or meaning behind it. it makes the music really interesting to listen to
Not only is he a talented music artist but he's got a gift for acting as well. He's been in some great movies, Star Wars being the most recent one.
yeah gods plan is god but i dont think its deserves any awards.
J Cole is doppppppeeeee
i still think j cole is one of the smart rappers.. he isnt out there just trying to flex every chance he gets. rather he is trying to spread a message. and the message is usually pretty cool.
The song KOD in his newest album is straight fire. Another artist called Lil Pump dissed J Cole a while back and part of the KOD song is in response to Lil Pump J Cole went hard and ripped him apart lol.
i have been listening to him a bunch right now. i dont think his songs will stay on the top songs for long because people dont listen to sonds that have meaning rather they
Yeah that's true. I remember reading an article about him and he talked about something that was hard for him. He grew up in a neighborhood that wasn't safe.
listen to the song with the cathiest beat. which is nice to but those songs dont derserve the attention they get. not to metion the rapper probably didnt even write the song
In his past albums he talks about his friend who got caught doing the wrong things and died at such a young age and raps about how he was able to get out of that situation
himself. he probably had someone else write it for him. which is fine and all but the person who actually wrote it should get some attention
Yeah that's true a lot of the music artists now seem to not write their own stuff. They just go with whatever is popular and feed off of that.
i think one of his coolest songs is 1985. its about how he is coaching another rapper on how things are in the rap game.
I hate the music industry for that reason right now.  A lot of the music doesn't have much quality and they seem to be getting worse. I
he is really old to be a successful rapper but he is still pulling it off. thats way cool that he is able to keep going even though he is ggetting a little older
I feel like that's part of the reason why rap has such a bad name to it... people think rappers only rap about money, sex, and drugs
the music now is just a series of different beats and meaningless rhymes.
Yeah J Cole is one of the rappers that's trying to pass down knowledge to the up and coming rappers. He's been in the game for such a long time and knows how the industry work
half of the time the words in the songs are made up or have no reason to be in the sentence that it was thrown into.
Did you know J Cole was actually a talented basketball player too? He played in college and had a real shot at going into the NBA but decided that he wanted to make music. Can you imagine J Cole being an NBA star?
but what is funny is that even though he is trying to pass down some knowledge to the younger rappers he expresses that he does not think that alot of them will make it since they are just riding trends instead of making quality music he says when the audience gets too old for their music they will see that their music was just a trend and that they have to place in the rap community
Yeah thats so true. He gives them advice on saving money, investing in things worth while, and not blowing everything on superficial accessories but they blow him off They act like he's some old man ranting about the olden days.
i think in the song that i am thinking of he is speaking to lil pump. im pretty sure that lil pump was talking bad about him and it encouraged him to make a song for a respons
Yeah I've heard that song you're talking about
alright new topic
Sounds good
what do you think about gun violence? and the changing laws
I really think it's going south. It needs to change and something needs to change NOW So many people are suffering and it can be resovled if they would take some action Personally I feel like taking guns away would be the best option. There's a bunch of countries like Japan and Australia that ban guns and the number of domestic violence and deaths in those countries have decreased
but i think people who really want a gun will find a way to get a gun. something about banning anythying is that it usually get worse before it gets better when you change laws it almost always has a negative effect at first i think.
Yeah thats true. People will riot if guns were banned. In fact I know some people will take up arms and say something along the lines of "If you want to take my gun, come get it from me." I don't feel like some guns that people own are necessary. There are powerful guns that people own and they have no reason to own these guns. They're meant to kill people and wreak havoc and simple guns will fulfill the purpose of "self defense" just as well Going back to Japan, I know that they teach their police departments martial arts. The officers can't even carry guns!
yeah there is a upside and a downside to them i think its ok for people to have them but i think its should be restricted what type of guns. pistols are fine for protecting yourself. shotguns are fine too. but having a AR or a AK just seems a little much
I completely agree with you. Guns are good in the right hands. Not only that if someone really wanted to get a gun to break the law, they'll find a way to do it
i dont see why there would ever be a reason you would need one of those
But by changing the law, it'll be harder for them to do so!
they could just get rid of certain guns.
Self defense weapons are evolving more and more into weapons that are meant to kill lots of people at one time.
just keep the ones used for hunting and the ones for self defense pistols get the job done
There's been so many deaths in 2017 from guns that it's almost ridiculous to consider not changing anything Exactly, for self defense, pistols do the job just fine. The person committing the crime is going to be close enough to you that you don't need an AR or some high caliber sniper rifle. People will argue that guns are safe in the right hands but they always end up in the wrong hands too. People going to university, kids going to elementary school, people going to work shouldn't be afraid for their lives everytime they walk out their door.
yeah i honestly dont have that much of an opinion about guns. tell me a story from your childhood
I appreciate and applaud the kids standing up and demanding change from the government. I really hope something changes and that something changes soon. I would hate to see another tragedy happen from mis use of guns. Yeah enough talking about this topic lol Oh I have a fun story to tell you. When I was a deacon, for a mutual activity my ward went to a park to go sledding. The hills in that park were covered in ice and the church leaders were against us sledding because it was dangerous how fast we would go down but the kids complained Eventually they gave in and let us sled. It was a bad idea because it eventually got super dark outside and it was hard to see Anyway, my brother and his friends thought it was a good idea to make a "train" to sled down a hill.
oh my this is pretty good i did that all the time when I was a kid
My brother had his heavier friend sit on a saucer and hang from the back while the three of us sat on a longer sled in the front. My brother's heavy friend out weighed all three of us and went ahead pulling our sled sideways lol.... We couldn't see that there was a jump at the middle of the hill and we went off of it
oh my goodness how much bigger were they? was it dark?
I had it the worst because I landed face first and scraped my forehead the rest of the way down. I came back up the hill looking like half face from batman
holy crap oh my goodnesss
My brother's friend wasn't all that big but since we were little kids we didn't weigh that much either.
did you have to get stitches or something?
My mom had a feeling that day to not let me go to mutual but because I pouted so much she eventually let me.
that is terrible! I never had that kind of experience sledding before. I think I always had small hills and gradual hills
She felt so horrible for ignoring that feeling because I stayed in for like 2 weeks not being able to go to school
oh my goodness its important to listen to the gut feelings like that. you mom either had the spirit or just a spiritual feeling
Yeah small hills could be scary too if they were covered in ice haha. Yeah probably both! She's always been that kind of person. Now whenever she has a feeling, she never ignores it and sticks with her gut.
hahah yeah that would be
