My Blog Has Become Obsolete

So Jordan just started a new blog 5280 Sports. Guess what it's about. (To avoid confusion the website name is spelled out as fiftytwoeightysports.blogspot just in case you ever try to go to it without the link.) We'll see if we can get it up and running, but in the meantime I realized since I'm now a contributer to a blog for politics and a blog for sports I may have run out of things to talk about in this blog. I may have to start talking about myself more. Sorry guys.

Or maybe I can just bring you more of this:

What Really Matters

I had a great weekend. I got to play the organ at the temple on Friday, spent some time talking with my dad, played racquetball and tennis on Saturday, went to the General Relief Society broadcast Saturday night (with pie after), had a great fast Sunday today, didn't watch the Broncos, and I really accomplished a lot for my callings and some other stuff I've been worried about. I even came to peace for the most part with what congress is trying to shove down our throats. Well, I at least feel like I can handle whatever happens as a result of their incompetence.

Well, it really was a great weekend that made me feel so happy that I haven't even felt hungry since Thursday. (Don't worry I ate. See PIE in the previous paragraph.)

I think part of this is because I didn't have a laptop most of the weekend. I took it over to my dad to look at on Thursday because of what I thought was a little problem with it and I left it with him overnight because i didn't think I would need it. Well the problem wasn't major, but it wasn't so little. So after several hours on the phone with microsoft (I'm still a PC) my dad was able to get a lot of the errors worked out when I picked it back up Sat, but by then I was reading a book that I couldn't put down (Book of Lies and I finished in 3 days) and so I didn't really care to hop on the internet. (BTW Thanks Dad for helping me out!!!)

So, I finally got on tonight and started looking at my reader. I might be done with this now, because after having such a peaceful weekend I became stressed again as 280 items of worldly crap came flooding into my browser. I won't even mention my horrible fantasy football team. Well, I finally cleaned out my reader and dropped all my wide receivers, and I'm glad I left the updates from the church websites for last because the feeling that came over me after reading all the garbage was a huge contrast to what I have been feeling all weekend. It wasn't bad stuff in the reader, but it wasn't important. I guess I need to remember this contrast when I start to get caught up in all the noise that's going on around me.

I'm so glad I was able to have the gospel in my life this weekend, because not only did I just feel better, but I felt braver, more organized, more creative, and better prepared. So I'm going to try and be better about putting the more important things first and cut a lot of the garbage out, but I had to make sure I put some Jazz "fans" in their place which I think is ok to put in my "not so important but definitely necessary" column.

Rivalry Renewed!

So the HSM3 video has sparked a little back and forth via the Nugg Doctor and the True Blue Jazz Hands.

First of all their response is pretty weak. I'm pretty sure it was a Nuggets fan who coined the term Thuggets, and who doesn't love Birdman?! At least our guys can dance. Can anyone say Ostertag? And I would much rather have my Thuggets than this guy.

Or this guy.

So now I'm not sure if I have posted this before, but if this just shows how inadequate even the Jazz organziation feels when compared to Denver.



I swear to you this isn't photoshopped (I'm not that good at it) and it was originally posted on the team store website, but I was able to get the screen shot of it a little while later.

I know it's a little hard to see, but who's skyline is that? It's not the Salt Lake skyline. That's right they stole the Denver skyline for their website. (Notice the Wells Fargo building and the Elitches tower.) Their skyline isn't good enough and as much as they want to be their superior neighbor to the east they fail in every way. Especially in being a fan.

Only in Utah will you go to a game where 2 fans of the opposing team cheer louder than the entire arena. It's the only place where you will be taunted for cheering for the Nuggets by a guy completely decked out in Denver Broncos gear.

And my favorite instance of bad fanship was after Kleiza dropped 40 points on the Jazz last February everyone in Salt Lake called the sports radio shows and said that the Western Conference appearance the previous year was a fluke.

So enjoy your pseudo-success now Jazz fans because no matter what happens with the Nuggets you will always be an inferior sports city with inferior fans, inferior mountains and inferior skyscrapers.
