"All right Tracy, it is definitely my turn to pick what we do this week."
"Come on Kyle, you sound very very offended over what I chose to do last week"
"Your right, I'm sorry, I should have put on my happy face when #34 decided to run the over-sized flower in the snowbank rather than make the turn. I should have really been happy with on the ride to the hospital and I should have been especially happy with the hospital bill that wont be covered by my insurance because of 'unwise situational choices in an unsafe environment.' Yup, why don't you choose again huh?!"
"Ok, fine, you choose, but just know it isn't going to be as good as my idea. I have had this one on the backburner for years."
"Something simple this week. We are just going to go up to the U of U and vandalize a few cars there with BYU stickers."
"Um... Kyle... Not that I want to be a Derrick Downer here... But that, my friend, is LAME."
"No it's not. And besides, it's a heck of a lot safer than your ideas!"
"Come one Kyle. We cant do that. The U isn't even worth it. They are like our Canada!"
"Our Canada?"
"Yeah, you know, if you ever ask a Canadian what they think of Americans, they will tell you their opinion. If you ever ask and American what they think of Canada, they will say 'I don't.' Its the same with the Utes. If you ask one of them what they think of BYU, they will go on a HUGE diatribe on how dumb this school is and why someone shouldn't go there, but if you ever ask a student here they will say 'I don't.'"

Week 3 Jan 16-22
"Oh, no. No, no, no, nononono. There is no way this is on your list of things to do in public Tracy. I'm not going out there. Not a chance. You couldn't pay me to do this."
"What are you talking about Kyle!??! This is one of the best ideas I have had. Haven't you ever been to the snowmobile races?"
"Yes... But I have never been to them wearing a daisy costume on my head, running out to hide myself in the snow for them. There is no way I am going with you to bury myself in that snow with these dang pedals sticking out of my face. Remind me why we are doing this."
"Duh, one so that we can get on that blog, and two so that when the snowmobile driver crashes next to our snowbank we can pop out of the snow like a spring daisy.... Truthfully, I have no idea where I came up with this one, but wow am I good or what!?"
"I'm gonna go with the latter on that one Tracy. Anyway, keep your eye on #34, he looks prime time for an accident in this snow bank and you are up first."

Week 2 Jan 9 - Jan 15
Kyle: "Hey, Tracy, what do you say to doing something a little bit more different that we usually do to make it on this one guy's blog?"
Tracy: "You mean, some guy is going to watch what we do and then write a blog about it?"
Kyle: "Absolutely. You in?"
Tracy: "Am I in?! I have always kept a list of things I wanted to do, but only if they got publicized to the world. A blog is just public enough to be out and on the internet, but have everybody ignore what is written there. I was SO 'in' before you even asked."
Kyle: "Wait, wait, wait.... You've kept a list of things you will only do publicly? You know most of us keep different types of lists... Lists of things we want to do before we die, things we want to do before other people die, things we want to be doing while we die, things we would die to do, lists of things that we can't do because we would die, things we would do in private because if anybody else knew about them our social life would die. You know, those types of lists. I don't know of anyone keeping a list of things that they would only do in public. What exactly is on this list of yours?"
Tracy: "Here is the thing, I can only tell you right before we do them. I can't have my list leaked to the public, that on my list of things that would make me die on the inside!"

Week 1 Jan 2 - Jan 8
I have received many unique homework assignments in my time. From Paper Mache horses to recreating the the intestinal track using home appliances. Never once have I been tasked with created and writing a blog. With such a unique assignment, I assure you, comes many unique entries. Now, there are many routes to go as I attempt to elect the correct writing subject. I have often been tempted to see how many times I can use strange words in an assignment, words like "tergiversate," "amalgamation," or just see if I can throw in "disestablishmentarianism" just to sound politically involved.
Then again there is always the option of writing the fictional adventures of Kyle and Tracy, which are two male friends that go on different adventures because they know they are being written about on a blog somewhere for some guy's class assignment. They would do all sorts of interesting activities, just to see how many times they could get onto "that one guy's blog." First, they would try dumpster diving for treasure, then they would see how many times the pick up line "Did that hurt??? When you fell from heaaven?" works on the girls on campus, and soon enough they would find themselves finding the best things to post on the Overheard @ BYU Facebook page. Soon enough, they have got themselves a hefty resume on my blog, and I would have one heck of an assignment.
