Sundance 2011 part 1

So I've been asked to share my thoughts on Sundance 2011 which is just 2 weeks away!!!
 
The quality of films seems good but no one goes to my website for my opinions on QUALITY of films (keeping in mind my top 3 films are Bye Bye Love, You've Got Mail and Anchorman) but rather THE STARS!
 
So here are some of the stars who will be at Sundance THIS YEAR:
 
Ed Helms returns to Sundance which is cool since the last time he came I missed the chance to say something I wanted to say but forgot. I've been practicing too... Hey Ed, Beer me a picture with ya?
 
He's in Cedar Rapids with Anne Heche, Sigourney Weaver, Alia Shawkat (Maebe Funke!!) and The 2 time winner of my BIGGEST JERK OF SUNDANCE award... John C Reilly.
 
I've never met Tobey Maguire but I will this year. He's in The Details with Elizabeth Banks who I once saw but never got a pic with. Ray Liotta, Dennis Haysbert Kerry Washington and Laura Linney are also in the cast.
 
Speaking of Elizabeth Banks she has 2 films this year. The other is with Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer... I've met them all before.
 
Greg Kinnear who again pic of but not really with is in The convincer with Alan Arkin and Billy Cruddup who I think will remember me. The last time I saw him I proposed to Mandy Moore. He was there.
 
JK Simmons (The dad from Juno) is in a movie with Lou Taylor Pucci... whose dad I've been talking to on facebook so I'm excited to meet LTP.
 
Jeffrey Tambor from Arrested Developement will make the 5th cast member I've met if I meet him this year. My goal is to meet the ENTIRE cast of A.D. which is one of my top 4 favorite TV shows ever (Ed, Sports Night, The Office are the other 3). Old school J.T. is in Win Win with Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan and Bobby Cannavale.
 
There are some people who we assume will be there by association to some of this years films:
 
Chaz Bonos mom is Cher... so I'm hoping to get a pic with her at the premiere of the film about her daughter turned son.
 
The Troubadours is a documentary featuring James Taylor and Carole King with lots of legends interviewed. James Taylor is on my list to meet.
 
There's a documentary about powerful women with people like Katie Couric, Condoleeza Rice, Nancy Pelozzi and others. Condie Rice is speaking at BYU 3 days before so it looks like I'll meet her.
 
TJ Miller (Gulliver's Travels and Yogi Bear) is one of the funniest people alive and even though he has yet to add me on facebook doesn't mean I'm not crazy stoked to meet him at his short film "I'm having a difficult time killing my parents".
 
So there's a bunch more I'll tell you about when I do part 2.

Time to blog

 

So I haven't been the best at blogging but I do have some things to update in my life.

I am one year away from graduating. If I'm uber awesome I can do it by Dec. Otherwise it will be a year from now. My goal is still to be a celeb interviewer and then move on to hosting my own radio show while producing some TV shows I want to make.

Since I last blogged I came in as first runner up in the Mr UVU pagent and won $200!!!

And the final thing to mention:

I've now reached the 30 mark with girls I've kissed. I really regret not writing down their names over the years but I've had an un official tally in the back of my mind and I feel fairly confident that I'm up to 30. I know that's a slow weekend for some people and for others I'm a lip slut but I feel good about it. This also includes make outs. I'd say 2/3 were make outs... if a girl is willing to kiss me a tiny bit she's likely willing to spend 2 more minutes.... she came that far, why not spend a lil more time?!?!

The Mormon Bachelor?

 

So tonight I came home from work and watched "The Bachelor... On the wings of love" and I can't help but think that I'm a six pack of abs away from being perfect for that show.

If they let me be the guy would I get a full 25 girls or would they send me 18 and a midget? What kind of girl would they set me up with? Like do they have paper you fill out saying what you want in a girl? Would they let me write in a few girls I like that I think are single and let the casting people track them down?

Could I chose the song we call my season by? Instead of "On the wings of love" maybe it could be "Somebody" by Depeche Mode or "Saving forever for you" by Shanice? "Like a virgin" seems like the obvious title.

Could I take a girl on a date and have the missionaries teach the final 3 girls a first discussion and base my decision on who would be baptized?

If I was one of 25 guys going for the girl and I knew I was about to be cut could I punch someone? It seems like people who punch other people on reality TV never get sent to jail and the last time I was punched was in 7th grade by Chad Graves and I never hit him back.

If someone nominates me for the show I will accept the nomination.

The Book of Mormon

 So it's around 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving night 2009 and I'm blogging.

 

I'm not going to get on a soap box for what I'm about to say I just want to express this.

 

On Dec 30th 2007 in church my bishop, Max Behling, challenged the members of his congregation (ward) to read from The Book of Mormon EVERY DAY this next year... even if it was just one verse. If we did this he promised our lives would be blessed and we'd come to know that it is true and have a FIRM testimony that Jesus is the Christ. That the book was written by prophets and not Joseph Smith.*This is a good place to note that I had never read from The Book of Mormon daily even though I was raised a member of the Mormon church. Not even on my mission. I think the most I had gone was two weeks in a row or something.

 

So the next tuesday Jan 01 2008, I started. One verse (or more) a day til I had completed the Book of Mormon. There were literally weeks where I'd only do one verse. Sometimes a chapter but that was rare. As of Jan 01 2009 I had only made it to page 295. I had no idea when I would finish it but by this point I had read EVERY DAY for a year... no giving up.

 

I'm pleased to say that today I finished it.

 

Tomorrow I will start over and read it again... my goal is then entire book in one year and if not by next Thanksgiving New Years Day 2011.

 

I won't even tell you to read it. I wanted you to know that I have.

 

If I'm a better person it's because I'm trying to live by the teachings of the prophets found in the Book of Mormon which point me to my savior. Christ is my big bro... and like all little brothers I want to be like my big bro. He's also my redeemer. The Book of Mormon helps me to know him better.

 

This is what I am thankful for today.

Not much is new

 

So nothing is really new for me.
 
More rejections from girls. More flirting in the halls. Lots of the same things in school... assignments, enduring classes, having my mind blown, taking up class time explaining my life.
 
I did see Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman. Last week I saw Zombie Land and loved it.
 
I'm giving up R rated movies and Myspace.
 
I watched Arrested Development on DVD and laughed SO HARD! Buster "Who would want to R her?" (while angrily referring to his mom having a rape horn)
 
So life is just ok and not much is new.
