A Blog With A Moral

I was just barely studying in a remote corner of the fourth story of a building on campus, when an irresistable wave of sleepiness overcame me. Since no one else was around and I felt quite secluded, I decided to kick off my shoes, lay back, and enjoy a quick catnap before going to work. At some point during my slumber I heard two guys walk by. Apparently the desire to judge and criticize me was just too great, because I heard, as they walked away, "Who does he think he is? This isn't his house." First moral to this story, don't judge others. You never know all the circumstances to a situation, especially a situation you witnessed while walking by on your way to some destination. I've seen others doing what I did, in much more public places. I have no problem with that, as long as you are not taking up unjustly amounts of space that others desire to occupy. Moral two, always give others the benefit of the doubt unless you have a good reason to do otherwise. It can be hard not to judge others by their appearance, but would you really want others to do the same to you? What if I'd have been up all night fighting a fire and saving orphans? And last, but not least, don't be a douchebag. If you have something you are just dying to say about someone else, have the courage to say it to their face. If you don't dare say that thing you want to get off of your chest directly to the person concerned, chances are you are making a hypocritical judgment. "Let he who is without sin first cast a stone." We all have an obligation, as human beings, to respect those around us. No matter what position you are in, how famous you are or how much money you make, nothing gives you the right to disrespect someone for no reason at all.
Join me next time, I will be discussing our moral obligations to trees. . .

Women's Basketball, encore

Here I sit once again at women's basketball. I actually used to like the John M. Huntsman Center, but now that I have spent so many hours here doing something that I detest, I could care less if I never set foot in here again. That being said, I saw the movie Wristcutters the other day, and I really enjoyed it. It was very well done and quite amusing. I was glad that my buddy, let's call him Shmandon, brought my attention to this film. It was about a dude who "offs" himself after being dumped by his girlfriend and ends up in a world, like this one only crappier and filled with other people who have "offed" themselves. There he finds out his ex killed herself too, and he goes looking for her. On the way, he and his Russian friend find a hitchhiker who has come to this place by accident (overdose). Our hero falls for her, and they end up together in the end. Sounds cheesy and all, but it was freaking hilarious. I loved the Russian friend's music (When there is trap, set out for you. . .). Another movie I recently saw and loved was Reign Over Me. Don Cheadle was great and I hope that Adam Sandler wins an Oscar for his performance. So actually this post didn't really have anything to do with women's basketball, it simply described the setting that this blog was written in.

Utah Women's Basketball

Here I sit, waiting for the game to start. I can't help but yawn, as I was here late last night and early this morning. I showed up a little over an hour before the game was scheduled to start. The life of a women's basketball manager is not a glamorous one. Little thanks and lots of rebuke are in store when one dabbles in a profession like this. "I get no respect." You got that one right, Rodney.
Thousands of seats remain empty. I could yell to my fellow manager down on the floor and he would have no problem hearing me. He looks almost as excited as I am. At least I have access to the internet. . .
The games will start momentarily, thank the heavens, I will now have something to occupy my attention. Two hours of not having to worry about getting chewed out for something that is not my fault. Two, short, wonderful hours. The only thing better would be, let's see, to not be here at all?
