An Ode To Myself.

Since I don't have a "Happy Birthday Adam" post from my mother on her blog yet, I thought i would write something..... I am sure she is busy shopping as I am for the first time in my life working at the Mall on Black Friday, but not associated with the retail consumer market in anyway. (Lucky me) Another reason my mother may not have written anything is because....I was a horrible child and she still may be trying to work through the stress of my early years.....

As I look back on the past 30 years I thought i would just make a list of things/People that made me who I am today. Of course this is not in any real order...just typing as things pop in my head.

My Parents, Pudgie and Dodo
My Brother and his wonderful and amazing wife
My sisters
My wife
My Wife's Family.
Replacement son, and Replacement Brother
My Grandparents on both sides
My Religion and beliefs.
Jars of Clay
Korn
Mountain Dew
Pumpkin Pie
Nintendo
University of Utah Football
Dave Matthews Band
Barenaked Ladies
Alex Smith
Keith Van Horn
Meggie, Rob and Jared.
Paintball
Mountain Biking
Pearl Jam
U2
Faking sick so I can go to Gammy's house and get a coke
Mario Brothers
Sony
Vinyl Records
Weird Al
Sandy/Lexy/Daisy/Toby
American Gladiators
Oregon Coast
Bear Lake
Pass Pattern Football with my Dad and my Brother
Live Music
Josh and Tony
My Very First NFL Game
The Condo
My House
Fidelity Investments
Tool
Cruise Ships!
The 4 ipods in my house, because 1 just won't do
Treadmill (it needs to be a bigger part of my life right now)
Day after Christmas house parade and Egg nogg at Gammy's
Yellow Pine
Sega Genesis and Madden '92
Steal the Flag
E.T. That movie still scares me.
Doom



I know that there are so many people and so many things that influence every single one of us.......I am going to stop my list mainly because I am starting to bore myself, and of course its not complete so if i left you off don't be offended I know I would get to you =). Thanks to everyone for your support over the last 30 Years!

I guess since I am the ONLY one in our immediate family that you didn't name, (boo hoo poor me..even Darin made the list!), I am not much of an influence in your life...but I thought I would wish you a Happy Birthday anyway! I think you are hilarious! Thanks for being such a great brother to Trav!

Jolene said...

Yes, Adam, I have been out shopping, from 4am to noon. But, who called you at 6:30am to wish you a happy b-day?
I love your post and all the important things in your life. You are the best.
I love you.

Happy Birthday Adam, I love your post! I'm glad I made the list, but we all know that I should be own my own line and not share it with Katie! I love you and I know you love me back!

Meghan said...

you made me happy to make the list, especially since i preceded my brothers. i am, however, concerned that along with my name on the list, american gladiators made it.
also, i am happy that your self boasting post pre-emeted your sisters to post about you.
but fo realz, you are one of my favorites and i love you lots and lots.

Suz said...
