Ellie Goulding

Okay, who doesn't love Ellie Goulding? That's right, no one.  Have you bought her new album? Halcyon? I did, so should you. 

The Busy, Yet Good Day

Been pretty busy with work ... ugh don't get me started.  Too late, ever since i sold my soul to the Recreation Center i work at I've been practically living there ... but getting paid for it so thats nice.  I Head Guard as well as Coach the swim team (yes, got a promotion!! ^^) and i really enjoy my job.  I love the social aspect of my job, working and hanging out with kids my age and making tons of friends.  Tho the management is nothing more the a bunch of power hungry, soul sucking twenty year olds who get their kick from making us miserable.  But other then those ghouls I'm doing pretty great!

Now you somewhat understand my working atmosphere i will like to get going on my story! 

So i had to Coach a swim meet down in the salt lake valley in the distant district known as Cottonwood Heights.  I was pretty nervous because it was going to be me and the other assistant coach named Jill ( great gal ... taken ... ) and we were gonna be responsible for our team.  I was running late as normal thanks to the procrastinating genes as well i got lost ... thanks to the wonderful imap app on my iPod touch ... that brought me to an elementary school.  Luckily i called Jill and she helped me get out of the sticky situation.  

The meet was going great, Jill and I looked pretty official in our team polos and them clipboards.  People kept looking at us apparently according to Jill, I think it was because we looked fresh and hip.  I had a great time hanging out/ working with Jill.  She's a great gal, killer personality and might i add she is gorgeous.

Most of the guys at the Rec Center ( subtract the gays ... {not bashing gays, they're cool!}) are infatuated by Jill and constantly talk about her or talk to her, impress, flex, ect. I was talking to the shining nymph of the forsaken Rec Center! (no big deal.) 

Afterwards Steve, the Head Coach came in and took over so Jill and I got to leave early (Jill asked Steve if i could leave with her ;) ).  On the way out she was somewhat teasing me and the way i talked to myself ... don't ask.  But was it flirting?? ... my "being hit on" sensors were starting to tingle.  Jill offered to follow me to a gas station .. I was out of gas and she was worried if I would make it home.  As well, she was gonna guide me to the Freeway ... I get major lost when it's dark in Utah ... I get disoriented without the moutons to guide me.  Was she just being genuinely kind? or was interested in my well being due to have some sparks of a crush for me? beats me, but i hope its the second one.  It seems like a lot of effort she put in to be just friends but as you can tell, i made it home safely as i'm writing this update to the lame blog.  Sooo what do you think? flirt? or a good friend? .... Stayed tuned for more on the friend/love confused, secretly wanting a realtionship boy story ... thanks!

On a Wednesday, at a Cafe. I watched it Begin Again.

So. It has been a way long while since I've been on my blog. So i'm gonna retry and keep this up to date as possible!

Like most people this week, i as well bought the new Taylor Swift album, Red.  I have been eating ages for this album to come out! Boy, was i pleased with the outcome.  She expressed in her prologue that Red was a random spontaneous album about the quick fall in and fall out of love.  So there are great pop tracks, a dub step track, and many acoustic country ballads.  The lyrics really show her creative depth and her unique ability to paint a picture in your head.  Today she released her new video for her second single, "Begin Again".  It was one of my favorite tracks due to the lyrics.  All in all.  I highly recommend you buy this album.  You will thank me later ;)

Nate!!

Well today was a great day! Nate was on a Military leave/break thing for a bit so he came up to Logan to hangout with us today. He brought his lovely Swedish girlfriend, which we all like. We had a great time, we just chatted and caught up on each others life, especially Nate's and his experiences in the military.

I'll be honest, i could never endure and take what these guys dish out, so high respects for Nate on that. Especially the punishments. Nate was telling us about how he had to do intense 20 minute training/punishment over crossing his legs wrong. They make him go to a dirt pit, and do various, strenuous commands for 20 minutes. It sounds awful and how they treat you like dirt. Bleh.

Megan, Mel, Nate and his gf, and I went to the mall, chilled out and fed the ducks at 1st dam, and we finished our hangout at Rumbi (which was delicious i might say). All and all I had a great time hanging out with Nate. Hopefully we will be able to hangout with him again when he comes back for another break.

On sadder news, Megan E messed up her ankle while she was skateboarding so I had to drop off Megan K at the hospital to keep an eye on her. I hope all is well for Megan E. Oh actually just got a txt. She had a bone chip, sound gross and kinda painful. Well hope she gets well soon!

Oh! and I've fallen in love with country music! Especially with this dude Hunter Haynes music. His stuff is awesome, and it is the country i like to listen to.

The Night the Sun Came Up

Hmm well Dev's new album finally came out ... about time. I gotta say i was a little bummed. I was hoping they were gonna put all of her big hit songs, but only some of them are on here. The beats are addicting and i like to listen to it but it is okay. I recommend "In my Trunk" and "Lightspeed" ... considering you already have the "In the Dark" single which is awesome! I admit this chick is kinda cool ... i mean look at these cool pics! Plus we both share the same name, so she has to be cool... its the requirement to be named Devin!

- I like my beats fat, and my bass down low

10 Hours = 0.o

Well i calculated how long I have spent in front of some form of T.V. this weekend while watching conference... and it has concluded to 10 hours ... ugh yeah my butt is not happy about sitting that long.

Megan K and I are currently back at Collegeville, aka Logan, and we have about 4 weeks left till we are done with school!! Ah can't wait I am so excited to have a break from all this school. I decided on the way here that I will probably major in graphic design. Graphic design sounds cool because you can use it in many different aspects ... = you won't get bored doing your job!

Oh and Eric N and I over the weekend went visited out old beloved place, the South Davis Recreation Center. We stopped by to see if our bosses were around to ask them what we would need to do in order to get our jobs back. I'm planning to work there as my plan B.. or Plan C... i really to be honest rather not work there, but I did really enjoy the time I was there. Hopefully i will not have to do swimming lessons again. I'm kinda tired of those but i still love guarding! Luckily i have some old friend still there like Spencer S and Zac. Well take care and may the force be with you! Oh! i have a test tomorrow ... i should probably study.

Gah Saturday! ... on brighter news

Well this weekend is General Conference, for those who don't know it is a large public broadcasting of our general authorities and our prophet. I honestly do like this weekend, but I do wish they were shorter. I love them and all, but I don't have the attention span to watch 10 hours worth of talks (priesthood session included). But i have enjoyed the sessions and the wise words they tell us. Oh oh! and i saw David Archuleta singing in the missionary choir! I thought it was pretty cool.

Between the breaks me and my dad were trying to get my car, Kyefin (Key-eh-fin), to pass inspection so he can get registered. Kyefin passed safety easily but he has a stupid engine light that will not go away. My dad has found a cool trick to keep it off and have it pass the tests, but this year Kyefin has been a drama queen. I drove about a 100 miles today with no avail. So sadly i don't think I will be able to drive this week. My dad will either have it repaired down here, or do the test again, but we are not sure. So wish me luck, hopefully we can get my car to be street legal once again. Oh and on better and brighter news, Megan E uploaded more photos of Levitation. I really love the one she did of herself, see for yourself!
