My First Blog / Pioneer Day.

So, I finally joined the band wagon of blogging. It's actually something that I've wanted to do for a long time, but have never got around to it.
I'm 27 years old. I was born on the 24th of July in 1981. For those outside the Jello Belt, that is Pioneer Day. This is a pretty big deal in Utah. This day is celebrated with a huge parade, fireworks, bbq's, and lots of community events. My parents told me that these events were just for me. IT WAS MY DAY!!! I always thought that I must be something special for everyone to celebrate my day. I can remember being in 4th grade, and being asked to be on a float in the big parade on Washington Ave. "Finally", I thought. "They finally all get that it's ok for me to be the center of the parade." So I was on the float, and loved every minute of it. The float was for the Roy South Stake Float. Finally, when I was about ten or eleven, my parents let me know that the celebrations were for Pioneer Day, and not for me. I was so upset. I could not believe it. I was never that upset that my parents lied to me, but the realization that It wasnt for me.

This story is a huge indicator of who I am. I often think that everything is about me. I've been working for twenty years on this. I dont like when people tell me things that are not true. Tell it to met straight.

I hope to post my feelings and thoughts on this blog often.

Enjoy.
