A brake from the everyday Ennui

From time to time an event happens and you feel renewed, rejuvenated and quite frankly just like a kid again. Three winters ago there was a gathering in west Kaysville, Taft and Jill’s House, there was a great snow storm four to six inches of the heavy snow sitting on the ground in the cul-de-sac and a slow growing force to be reckoned with was forming against an undying army of friends. It was a time of childhood diving, running, dipping and throwing until the snow plough itself wasn’t even needed to clean out the street from the sheer mass of snow removed by freezing gloveless hands to fling in hopes of a face-shot.
Such an event can ignite a childhood imagination even ingenuity that can only be fully described as giddy goodness. Such an enjoyment does however ware off over time just as fine smelling cologne, note the horrible odors tend to linger for longer than ever expected or desired, the fuel runs out and we are left sitting on the grass watching the game we hate to see the most. The inventor stares at the drawing board, the number cruncher gazes at a blurry mess of nothingness and life becomes the mundane the slightest moment melodrama. While this may appear humorous and entertaining for the onlooker it eats the sufferer alive.
The mundane works its way into everyone’s life, it has been referred to as a mid-life crisis, a slump, severe boredom. In that moment some buy a shiny new sports car, others travel. Gather a crowd on a summer night, when all seems serene even peaceful, split into two teams play kick the can, be the child shouting out “Game off” until the car passes, hide quietly as the Ghost amongst the Grave-Yard. As life gets you down just take a moment to remember where it all started, let your mind clear itself take a deep breath and become the curious kid figuring out how it should be. Let your heart turn to the child, and become your true self.

Life Lessons Learned

The more I look at life, the more I can apply to the current situations learned in my different classes.

Such as the Prisoners dilemma, for those that don't understand that let me set the situation for you, if two prisoners were caught stealing a car and the inspector thought they were also guilty of robbing a bank several years before, which they are, he would separate them and give each a deal if they confessed and the other didn't the other would get 10 years while he would only get 1. If they both confessed they would both receive three years, and if he didn't and the other did they would both get three years. If neither confessed they would get two years.

How does this apply? Well If it were you in the room how would you act? It's an important question think about it, unless you understand the concept then well I just waisted the last 30 second of your life, forget them.

If that wasn't entertaining enough, here is the story Nate referred to in his comment. Senior Year High School little did you all know but my car would start without the keys. I would tend to leave my windows down, even during school hours and a friend gets in and fires up the car, I tried to get in but he kept the doors locked, finally with some effort I get the passenger door unlocked and open, I get half way in and he throws the car in reverse and floors it, well you can imagine it half in half out the frame where door connects with car hits me going 7-10 mph (he had it floored) when he realized he hit me he slammed on the brakes and I then got thrown into the back of the door frame and the door slammed on the half that was still hanging out.

I was not injured but felt the bruise on my head chest and back already beating, at that same moment I looked over and there was a bus driver watching the whole thing from his bus so I yelled out DRIVE HE THINKS YOU KILLED ME! Which of course he did. We have all laughed about that every now and again.

Here We Go...

After looking at the connection from Nates spot I have realized how lame I appear to be. So here is a brief look at me. ->

There you go. Working at the Roof Restaurant, after saying that so very many people say, wow that must be delicious. Little did you know, working in the restaurant doesn't allow me to just walk through the line, can you imagine it, you are paying $35 per person and one of the hosts followed by your server is right behind you eating from the buffet. Excuxe me, I would like some of those shrimp too....awkward right? I think so and so would you, the food we eat in the back, whatever the shefs decide to make for us. NOT I REPEAT NOT the same stuff you eat out there. It usually is a few days old and changed into something generally re-heated.

So now that's over with, let me tell you something, should you ever be driving out in the middle of no-where and chance by a mobile home a foot from the ground in the front and roughly five feet off the ground in the back to make it level, I have expirienced how that happens. It is the hardest work I have ever done in my entire life, basically you take 20 ton hand pump hydraulic jacks stack them on blocks and go at it. When you run out of pump, the trailer is balanced on stands and you start all over.

When one side is balanced you level the other side lag the two halfs together, put stands every so far, take the axles and tires off and get gone. That is if there are no problems, like a bit of a sag in the front keeping the door from closing. All in all two 18 hour days with a professional and you too can have your double-wide on un-level ground, as long as you are willing to build stairs to get into your house.

Well from this point you know know what I have been up to this week, as well as my normal job.

Until next time, this is Gyeman
