I thought this was funny . . . and true.

Voting

I'm not sure how we got to such a complicated voting system. Maybe it makes sense to someone but I have no idea how it's supposed to work. Why don't we just count up the votes for each person and then whoever has the most votes wins. I think a lot more people would get out and vote if they felt their vote might count--too many states are solid voters one way or another and people feel that their state is going to vote one way and it doesn't matter if they vote or not. So we should change our whole voting system to a simple vote. That's my vote!

Park City Skiing

So Friday and Saturday I went skiing with my brothers Daniel and Andrew (and Will and Amanda on Saturday) at Park City. Normally I ski at Alta with frequent stops at the other Cottonwood canyon resorts (Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton). I've also skied Deer Valley and Park City several times and the Canyons just a couple times. Park City is supposed to be one of the best resorts in the country but I think it's a little over-rated. There's definitely some good stuff (especially off of the Jupiter lift) but I just prefer Alta's terrain to Park City. Maybe people like Park City for their parks and pipes--which if that's the case then they have good reason to enjoy PC. I love the town of Park City. I always enjoy going there, but I prefer skiing in the Cottonwood canyons.

BYU beats Utah 55-52

It's always good to beat your rival--I didn't see the game because I was off skiing but I read the recap on ESPN but it sounds like it was a thrilling end with BYU winning 55-52. . I'm just glad that the Cougars pulled off the victory in Salt Lake because they play better at home than away.

American Idol Season 7 Premiere

We watched the first night of the Season 7 Premiere and thought it was pretty good. There didn't seem to be very many stand-outs that performed exceptionally, but there were some pretty good performances. And a few that were just AWFUL.

I'm trying to figure out how many of these people just want to be on tv vs. how many actually think they can sing--it's hard for me to believe that some of these people could possibly think that they are good at it--example--the dude that waxed his chest just to perform--he knew he couldn't sing but he just wanted to be on tv. And it must have been a painful experience for his 30 seconds of fame. That looked like it HURT.
