Memo to Mark Burnett and Survivor

Mark,

It’s 4:22 am and I cannot sleep so I decided to write you this memo.

You probably don’t know me yet but I am the next Sole Survivor. Ok maybe not actually the next champion but atleast the one after the next. I know that sounds kind of arrogant or self serving but it really is the truth. I am one of the 18 people you are looking for at this very moment. Take that as your sign. There is no need to waste anymore money trying to find me or going throught 1000’s of VHS tapes. I am “that guy”.

Now, before you read into this any further,  I want you to know that my only intent is to play the game of Survivor better than anyone has ever played the game before.   I am truly in it to win in and most importantly for the experience.  I will not be happy unless I am there with my future alliance sidekick, listening to Jeff read my name from the final votes. The other benefits of winning will be a nice addition, kind of like A1 Steak Sauce on a hotdog, but  playing the game is the reason for the season.

For qualifying purposes I need to tell you I can jump real high, swim real fast, and I was voted in the top 3 as having the best guy legs in high school. Seriously, I have some pretty sweet legs. In addition to those qualifications I have everything else you are looking for. Mark,  stop fighting it, I really am the one you are searching for!

Other Necessary Qualifications:

  1.  Super, totally awesome dude!
  2. My wife thinks I look sexy without a shirt. 
  3. I can be gone for 2 months and everyone would think I was on another crazy vacation or business deal.

When you get this memo make sure to call me on my super private cell phone at 801-358-5536. I will be waiting.

The next Sole Survivor,

Charlie Bravo

This is a video of a 7 year old kid that just had a tooth removed. We laughed our heads off.

Why we build temples

Our Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has recently started making a series of videos called Mormon Messages available on YouTube. You can find them at http://www.youtube.com/user/MormonMessages. Each week, Mormon Messages provides short video segments about the Church’s basic beliefs, as well as inspiring stories and messages of hope.

Watch these gospel-centered videos and feel free to share them with family, friends and anyone else you think might be interested.

Flight 1549 Landing in the Hudson animation

The computer animation in this video recreates the flight path and Hudson river landing of US Airways Flight 1549. Although the details of the story are by now familiar to nearly everyone—the plane hit a couple of geese, which took out the engines, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing on the Hudson, saving the lives of everyone on board—the animation captures the sequence of events in an extremely precise way. The animation is timed to the audio track from the traffic control towers,which really shows how little time there was for the pilot to act. The whole incident from strike to landing takes about two minutes.

2 Days and 3 pounds down

whopperIf you haven’t already made your guess, you better do it fast because it has only been 2 days and I have already dropped 3 pounds. And, if you don’t know what I am talking about look at the post just below this one.

I am learning that it is dang hard to stop eating the food that makes me and everyone else fat. Saturday night, after posting my 15 pound challenge, I proceeded to eat KFC and right before bed I had 2 eggs with toast and a bowl of cereal. The exercise wont be the hard part of this, it will be the eating part. Why is it that best tasting foods are also the ones that are so dang unhealthy. I just don’t get it. With all our innovation and advanced knowledge we should be able to make a Whopper that helps us lose weight.
