the best day in a long time

We all have good times and bad times. We have amazing days and days where we hit rock bottom. Today was truly amazing, but in a different tradition of the definition of "good" by me, and most of the people I know, with maybe an exception for my best friend.

Alright so let me break down my day for you all. First I got home at 1 AM (technically part of "today" haha) and read about 10 chapters in Alma before I went to sleep. It was unfortunate that I didn't finish up Alma, but I did it a few hours ago. YAY!

Next I slept until 9ish AM and went to institute. Institute was friggin awesome, and I even got in a game of ping pong and realized how long it has been since i took a math class... On the way home I picked up a pizza and a 2 liter of mountain dew determined to do something profound for the rest of the day(and of course only pizza and mountain dew could provide sustinance for said profoundness). I got home and started watching talks from TED.com while I ate my pizza. That started around 2:00. Here is where I break into a ROUGH timeline...

3:00: I poured my 4th cup of mountain dew, drank it and went to the bathroom.
3:30: I finished a talk on a startlingly simple(not sarcasm) idea to create artificial inteligence, and how close we are to being able to do it, and what implications it would have on our society.
3:31: I started watching "O Brother Where art thou" with my brother but the missionaries came over and asked him to go on splits with them.
3:50: a plate of doritos and a huge glass of water in hand I ventured back to TED.com with a couple breaks to chat on facebook, a break to play 3 guitar hero 3 songs, a break to lift weights briefly, and, of course, a break to get more doritos and pour myself some mountain dew.

Sometime after 3:50: I took a break to finish up Alma and listen to jack Johnson.
Also sometime after the time after 3:50 listed above: (did I confuse you? good) I watched more movies from TED.com.

basically I started the day with a spiritual high, than sleep, than spiritual and social high, than killer food. Than I continually blew my mind, chatted with girls(don't be jealous because i was chatting with girls online ALL DAY...), and blew my mind again, and again all day. Put that in your "I had an awesome day" pipe and smoke it!
