BRO I've gotten this question so much! I think the answer is a resounding no. So lets think about something else to talk about.
Haham, I have never gotten this question before
Well lets just talk about something else. These questions get a little boring. What are some of the deep philosophical questions that have been on your mind lately? Like what is the meaning of the Universe? Is it 42? Or is it Chocolate?
Nah, I havent been thinking that pphilosophically lately. I am not a very deep person.
Whatever, We have had some really deep conversations on here.
Nah, I just like to keep it real
Cereal? That was a joke. So like how does one "keep it real"? I know thats what the kids are saying nowadays...But I haven't quite caught up to the trends of the whippersnappers. I love talking like I'm an old Grandpa. It's hard to imagine Grandpas as young people and that they probably thought they were "hip" I bet they used different words back then though. I wonder what some of them were... Groovy was too late for that generation. It would have to be the 30s and 40s. So I guess most of the population was in that whole "war time" mentality. So they are a lot more serious and careful about things. Just because they had to. Thats how they grew up. And how you grow up affects how you are for the rest of your life. Isn't that a weird concept? Like what if you get a dealt a bad hand and you grow up super bad and then you are screwed for the rest of your life. Although I guess that there are people that come from humble beginnings that make it to the big leagues just by grit and determination. taylor's grandma grew up in Germany in the War. She was homeless for a long time, had to hide from the Soldiers, and ate food off the street. So she had this scarcity mentality and that has followed her for the rest of her life. Now she is a missionary though, and she is learning spanish. So you really never know where you life is going to take you. She still makes mean German Food though. I love German Food. I want to go to Germany.
Hey sorry I just had to cook some dinner. But that is so sweet. I want to go to Germany too someday. Like, that would be sweet.
Yeah totally! Germany is bomb. Have you ever been out of the country?
Yeah just to equador and I think I went to Tonga once.
Tonga!? Wow that is sweet! Why did you go to Tonga?
I went because It was some sort of family trip. My grandpa is kinda famous there so we were going back with him to visit the people.
Wow that sounds awesome. Why is he famous there?
He served a mission there a long time ago. He wrote a book about his experiences and it ended up becoming a movie.
No way! That is awesome! I love movies about true stories. They are so inspirational. What good movies have you seen recently. ?
Well, I dont really watch movies that much. But I like the avengers movies.
Yeah those are good. The plot gets pretty predictable but other than that they are really good. I want to go see the new Queen movie that comes out tomorrow. It's going to be sweet. I love Queen's music and I'm really excited to see and learn about their story. I just love movies that talk about famous people and their history. Like, I just think it's so inspirational.
Yeah I agree. Queen is pretty cool.
Yeah. They are legit! So what other bands do you like?
Oh Yellowcard all the way I really like one republic too.
Dude one republic is boss! They actually played a concert here in Utah not too long ago for the 4th of July. Did you know about that? I wanted to go so bad but my baby was too little and we had a bedtime routine to follow.
Why didn't you just get a baby sitter?
Dude babysitters are bad news. We don't want to leave our baby with a stranger. We just dont trust people. I mean we could. But there are plenty of bad stories about baby sitters doing bad things to the kids and just general neglect.
Yeah I guess that makes sense.
Like when I was little my parents took me to Honk Kong or Switzerland...I'm a little fuzzy on the location. I mean I was a baby after all. But they took me there because my dad had a business trip and during the trip they had this really nice dinner but they didn't want to bring me so they literally called up the bishop of the local church and asked him to watch me. Then they dropped me off with him and went to the dinner and came back and got me. Sounds like a harmless act but think about it. They left me in a foreign country at a strangers house and I could have been kidnapped! Or worse!
yeah I guess I never thought about it that way. That is horrible.
Yeah so thats why we wont leave our kids with a baby sitter. Maybe we would leave them with our parents but not until they are older. When they are little they just need their parents or else they get scared. So, like this is a random question..But are you dating anyone? Not because I want to date you...That would be super weird, but just because I'm curious. Tell me about the drama in your life haha. I like juicy stories.
I dont have any juicy stories. And I'm not dating anyone right now. I'm kinda just playing the field until I find someone that I'm really interested in. So yeah thats about all the stories I have to tell.
Well hey dont worry too much. The right person will come along. Just make sure you are doing the right things and making sure that you are becoming the type of person that you want to marry/date.
How do I do that?
Well first you need to know what you want. Do you know what you want?
Not really. I'm indecisive.
Well something that I wish I would have known/thought about it is who is going to be raising my kids? Like obviously you both raise the kids but for the most part if you are at work and school, then it's either going to be the mom or a person at day care. And You do not want some day care person raising your kid. I guess the wife could work and you could stay home and watch the kids, but like, women just have this innate capacity to love and nurture kids that nobody else can replicate. So it's a change of mentality. Because At first I was all like, I want to marry someone cool and who has all these career goals because I want her to be interesting. But after I met Taylor I realized that that stuff really doesn't matter. What really matters is that you find someone that has family as the number one goal. Someone who is going to be a good mother. Because this decision is going to impact not only your life, but the life of your kids forever. Thats the hard thing about being married, is that all the decisions you make no longer affect you. They affect many more people down the line. So that would be my advice to you for dating and relationships. So now you just have to start becoming that person that you want. Like if you want someone that is a good parent you need to be the person that will also be a good parent.
Yeah I guess that makes sense. It just seems so far away now those so I'm trying to focus more on school and work and real estate first
Dude, focus on that stuff! Just keep doing what you are doing and the rest will fall into place! The key is to be ready when it happens. And to jump at the opportunity.
Okay I want to write a song right now Its one of those things that you just feel
Haha random. Yeah that makes sense I guess.
and when you feel it, you just got to do it
Sometimes I just want to build stuff.
I never really get that feeling
Haha like to make a racecar track or to take apart an engine or to build a giant nerf cannon that shoots pumpkins?
Nah, I guess that Il not in to that kinda off stuff
You need to watch mark rober on youtube He is sweet. He will make you want to do that stuff.
Yeah, ill be sure to look it up sometime Haha, I say that but to be honest I will probably never look this up later
Rude I wish I could share the link through here and we could just watch it right now. You know he went to BYU and then worked for NASA and now he does these videos.
Thats awesome
Yeah. haha I feel like we are running out of things to talk about. Quick, ask a deep question.
do you think that you can actually make a wrong choice?
What do you mea? mean?
like, there are all of these things that are called "mistakes" or "wrong choices" but like what actually defines it? and what makes it "Bad"?
Well I dont know. I think if you are trying to do the right thing and mess up then you learn from it that isn't a mistake. But if you choose to not learn and stay down then th that is the wrong choice. Alternatively, if you know the right choice and then choose the wrong one then that is also a wrong choice. I dont know though. What do you think?
I dont know. Its kinda weird to think about. Its hard for me to classify something as bad. Well i mean, it also is pretty easy becasue we learn about good and bad things all life long, but there is always something that keeps me thinking about it
Maybe its guilt haha
woooaaaaahhhh, slow down there buddy.
Haha. Well I think this topic is over. So yeah. What else do you have planned tonight? Are you going to any parties?
Get free ice cream with some cute girls in my ward
Thats awesome! I love ice cream! It's the best. Some might say I'm addicted. Not really but like I would eat it for breakfast. You know they actually did a study in japan that eating ice cream for breakfast made you happier and smarter because it released dopamine in the brain
It also makes you fatter
haha true. But like if you work out then it doesn't Well youre right it probably does. I dont eat it that often, but It's definitely my dessert of choce. choice.
Okay, you convinced me, I am going to start having ice cream for breakfast
Sweet. Have you tried Ben and Jerry's? I had never tried it before getting married, but now I'm converted.
I think that I have tried it, But i actually am not the biggest Ice cream fan. Except for fruity ice cream I love fruity ice cream
Hmmm interesting.
Mango is super good. And so is passion fruit
I'm a chocolately ice cream fan. Dude there is some mango passionfruit ice cream at smiths. Its the Private selection one.
I love sorbet Rasberry sorbet is one of my favorite
