Okay, so, why is summer so much cooler than winter? (Well, not literally, of course.) Its just better, I think. Don't get me wrong, I love winter. I love the snow and the skiing and the steam your breath makes on a really cold day. Its awesome. Part of the reason I chose SLC over LBC is 'cos I knew I was going to miss winter. However... summer is just better, and I would like it to be here. You see, I am feeling this way right now since it is a lovely spring day outside, even though today's the winter solstice. The sun is shining so bright outside (especially since it's reflecting off the snow), but it is all a big tease! Oh well, I guess I should be thankful that this is my biggest concern at the moment. That and the fact that I may have an ulcer.

I don't want to have an ulcer, my friends. They suck. I don't want to believe it, even though by all reasoning I should have one. But I've always had the stomach of steel! I've always been able to eat the spiciest, harshest foods available. I pride myself on the fact that I was the only one to survive the killer stew at the SigEp superbowl party back in '99. While my bros were retching their guts out, I was going back for fifths and sixths! No, no ulcer for me! So, until my stomach has decided to settle down and stop being such a jerk, I've sworn off all meat and junk food. Me, going veggie? This is going to last about four hours at the most. Oh well, at least I can say I tried.

I tried to eat a salad for lunch today. It sucked.

Okay, tuesday night the Jazz lose to Vancouver and the Grizz lose to Manitoba, then last night the Jazz beat Philadelphia and the Grizz beat Grand Rapids. Hmmm... two Utah professional sports teams drop games to Candians one night, then both beat teams with the best records in their leagues. What's up with that? Is there a glitch in the Matrix? You know, twice is happenstance. Three times is a conspiracy...

Yes folks, my life consists of little more than music, weather, spicy food, and more music. I like it that way. Later.

Hello again. Sorry to have taken so long to write a new entry to this website. A new blog, if you will (if I have my terminology correct, that is). What is a blog, anyways? It sounds like a word someone made up with the intentions of making sound wierd, almost offensive, yet new and foreign. I don't know. Maybe if I actually read the main website for this whole blogspot thing, I would find out. That would be the logical thing to do. I probably won't.

I spent the entire day on Tuesday studying for my big astronomy test. You know, without any exaggeration, I can honestly say that I spent more time studying for that test than every other test I've ever taken in my life combined. Seriously, I never study. Did it do any good, you ask? Well, I believe so. Maybe. I answered 15 of the 20 questions on the test (which is more than usual in this class), and I feel confident that I got most of those right. But I guess time will tell.

As a sort of celebration for the end of my semester, I headed up to Ogden last night with my old roommate Nick to participate in an open blues jam at a bar up there. A pleasant time was had by all, I am sure. Most fortunately for me, I wasn't able to hear my bass very well, seeing as how I was plugged directly into the board and run through the P.A., and I didn't have a monitor. Why was this favorable, you may ask? Because I didn't hear any of the mistakes I was sure I was making. Another great thing about playing the bass in these situations: bass solos are much more rare and prominent than guitar solos, so when I had the occasion to impress, impress I did.

Okay, so I've been typing for a while, and I would like to stop. Talk to you soon.

Hello. I'm Chris. This is my new website. Why do I have a website, you ask? Well, seeing as how the last time all my friends jumped off a cliff, and I was foolish enough to abstain from doing so, this time I am blissfully following the herd and making a website like everyone else. (Sorry for stealing your idea, guys!)

So, right now I'm taking a break from studying for my astronomy final on wednesday. I can't believe I'm actually doing this; this is the first time I've lasted all the way until december in college (even though I've been enrolled for fall semesters in both 1998 and 1999). Its pretty exciting, actually, even though if I fail this final on wednesday (which is a distinct possibility, mind you), I might be suspended from the U. But this time at least I will have tried, rather than dropping out like I have so many times before. Wish me luck!

Of course, you may be thinking, "Chris, why are you so worried about earning a degree, when you are going to be a rich and famous rock star?" Well, that is a good question, my friend. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

All right kiddies, I gotta hit the books. Talk to you all later.
