I’m at NACAC right now in Seattle. It’s the biggest conference of the year surrounding college admissions, guidance counselors, admissions officers, etc. I’m looking forward to these next few days. They are extremely important for us. Word.

40 under 40
Utah Valley BusinessQ recently came out with their Top 40 Under 40. They selected me to be on there. I’m not sure why/how they selected me and not Brad, Sid or any of the other guys (they deserved it just as much if not more than I did). But I certainly appreciate the honor and will try to represent well :). Here’s the article and i’m on this page.
The whole theme around it is “school” and I think it’s funny cuz I dropped out of school and the business we run is all about helping kids get into school. I love the irony in it all.

I’m a Chef
My wife was feeling exhausted tonight so I made dinner. I didn’t make anything too tough. Just the usual man meal. Put together some eggs, toasted some toast, threw some greasy bacon on the stove, etc. The basics.
It’s funny cuz whenever I start working my magic in the kitchen I get on this I-wanna-be-a-chef kick. Not only cuz it’s fun, but rather…cuz i’m good. Yes, I’m a gifted chef. I slice, I dice, I chop, I drop, I cook, I look, I broil, I boil, I spill and I grill. I specialize in pan — anything of and/or related to pan work. I’m serious when I say this, I’m good.

Down, down, down
Quote from NY Times article on influential hedge fund managers who are short selling Lehman and other weak financial firms, sometimes causing stock price to decline even sharper.
“It is really like taking a baseball bat to someone who is down,” said Jim Hardesty, president of Hardesty Capital Management in Baltimore. “A bunch of these guys with very large bats are circling around certain companies and banging them over and over again. It is unsportsmanlike conduct.”

Fail
So I was in the Cardio Cinema room at the Gym running on the treadmill watching Indian Jones on the big screen minding my own business when disaster struck. I was nearing mile 2 when I decided to pick up my cell phone and check my email. Without me realizing, my pace began to slow and I started drifting sideways. Before I knew it, my right foot caught the right side of the treadmill (the part that doesn’t move) and I lost my balance. I started trying to catch myself and make it back up but it was just too late. I flailed like a flopping fish and I biffed it hard. Thump! It was painful.

I miss BodyHype
While I was at Princeton, I was in a Dance Company called BodyHype. I loved it. It was one my favorite experiences at school. Some of the people I met there became some of my greatest friends. Anyway…today I was messing around on Facebook and I came across this video. It brought me back…I love those people. Body Body…

Milk
For three days we’ve been without milk. For three days i’ve been without Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. After the gym tonight we’re gonna go grab some milk. I can’t go a day longer without my cereal. That’s all.
