Christmas

Well, tomorrow I leave for Mexico. I figured I’d leave you all with a quick little Christmas laugh or two. I’m sure I’ll have a story when I get back. Until then, may you enjoy the following clips by Jim Gaffigan and No Chaser singing the 12 Days of Christmas awesome style.

Carr, if you watch these videos, you will probably prefer the second of the two video. The first one is not up to your humor standards.

Happy

The last week or so has been really stressful. I am trying to get all of my finals done by… let’s see… today! Of course, instead of committing myself to my scholastic endeavors, here I sit blogging. I have turned to this video multiple times this week for a good pick-me-up laugh. Nothing cures the depression like a good… well… you’ll see. Just know that it’s funny.

Do I Need Friends?

I just got back from a very cold, very slippery, very blizzardy drive through the canyon from the Sundance Resort where my office party was held. It was a lovely evening full of delicious food, warm conversation and single awareness. Unfortunately, there was not enough space to house all of the employees if they each brought a guest. So there I sat, awkwardly surrounded by a bunch of couples in love, wondering what I would say to my guest had I brought one.

I wolfed down my food like an Asian at a hot dog eating contest, and then went back for seconds. I think I had eaten two plates of deliciousness before most people had even sat down at their tables. I’m fairly sure that the reason for this is that my mouth is normally more busy talking at the dinner table. Not having anything to say gave my mouth all of this free time to stuff itself. Needless to say, I now have more stretch marks than Rosie O’Donnell.

As dinner winded down, one of my bosses busted out the Christmas Bingo. I was excited, because Christmas Bingo is a tradition in my family, and this year I was unable to participate. I also assumed that the presents at this party were slightly more desirable than the Nerf Guns and bags of Chicklets that my family would pawn off.

The rules of Christmas Bingo worked like this: When one got a “Bingo” they could pick a present from under the tree whilst everyone else continued playing. If you didn’t like your present, you were permitted to take it back upon the achievement of a second “Bingo”. As my luck would have it, I was one of the last employees present to align my beans with glee and proceed to pick my present. I searched through the remaining gifts for the heaviest one. I ran back to my seat, tore off the paper and opened the box…

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Seasons 8, 9 and 10 of Friends!

I laughed out loud. It’s just my luck to get what was very likely the most female oriented gift of the lot. The only gift that I would deem more feminine that I saw was a chocolate fountain. Needless to say, I could not find another employee who wanted to trade away their MP3 players, The Office DVD’s or gift certificates for my amazing collection of one of the most famous sitcoms of all time.

As I drove home in the snow storm, I pondered on my gift. Maybe it’s a sign from God. Tonight… he gave me friends. And now that I have them, I don’t even know if I want them! Ha ha ha! Life is full of ironies.

Let me close by saying that in no way am I ungrateful for my bosses. They threw an awesome party that was really a lot of fun. They are very selfless and kind hearted men. I just found it funny that I’m the one who ended up leaving with three boxes of friends when I’m the one who showed up friendless.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go find out if Chandler and Monica get married or not…

Happy Holidays to all!

Sarcastic Wednesday

I am so excited for finals! I love them. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to finishing all of my interesting research papers and taking all of my challenging tests. These things make me grow into a better person. I hope the weekend never comes so I can learn and go to school and go to work to earn money day after day. Nothing would make me happier… that’s how sick I am. Happy Sarcastic Wednesday…

Helping Illegal Immigrants

I had the weirdest dream last night. After laughing about it for about 10 minutes, I decided that it is blog worthy. I dreamed last night that I helped 28 individuals from Mexico board a boat, cross a mountain valley and then sneak past the border patrol. I risked life and limb and was even chased by FBI agents (who were easily ditched, by the way). The only reason for having this dream that I can think of, is that I’m going to Mexico for a solid week over the Christmas holiday. I have no clue what the beach had to do with these guys though…

P.S. I think the dream was lots funnier in my head than it is on this blog.

Farzad (Frankie) Fard

Apparently there is a local resident, Farzad Fard aka: Frankie Fard, who owes multiple local businesses, including Dave from Dave’s Scooter Lounge, lots and lots of money. He is exceptionally good at taking money and then blaming money and then passing the blame when he doesn’t get paid. If you live in the Provo/Orem area, just make yourself aware. Find out more about Farzad (Frankie) Fard here.

If you’re just looking for a good laugh, watch this little flash animation. It made me lol.
