A Toyota Sign

Today I had the grand joy of driving up to Dillon Montana. Long story short - a friend of mine's plans fell through and she needed to complete her trip from Oakland to Dillon for EFY. I picked her up in Idaho Falls and drove her to Dillon and then drove back.

On my way I saw many very beautiful things. One thing I have always been impressed with was the brother (and sister) hood of motorcycle riders. Whether you're on a Harley, a Yamaha, a Honda or a chopper (Like Jesse makes), as long as you are on two wheels, you are a member of this brotherhood. And you know you are because you all extend your left arm out as you pass another brother on a hog. The really cool brothers point with either a thunb and a finger or two fingers in a "peace" sort of way. All of this is done "on the low down" or in other words, with your hands below your waste extended out past the bike.

I own a Toyota pick up truck. It cost a little extra, but in theory will last a bit longer than most other cars and won't die like a Ford. My truck was made in my home town by guys I went to high school with. Though not a very prideful man, I do take a bit of pride in my truck. I am a Toyota owner. Proud of it. I want to show it. I want to develope a sign so that others Toyota drivers and I can show our pride. When we pass each other on the road - we could show this sign. Maybe we all give each other a thumbs up, or a show each other our ring fingers (as to the fact I've had several girls go "Ooh a Tacoma! Can you take me for a ride?"). I've thought of just flipping off people in Ford trucks, but I don't think that is the best hand sign. I will continue to ponder on this. Until then - if you see me waving a finger at you and you're in a Toyota - I consider you a brother or sister.

A Toyota Sign

So much has happened since Friday. My first dance with a Russian girl, my first convertible ride, my first Sunday in forever not teaching, my first canoe trip, my first memorable dutch oven experience, my first temple groundbreaking ceremony, my first - Oh crap the list just goes on and on. I will update all of that later.

Bob, Fred, KNJ, and other names

This Blog is a continuation of another blog I started.

There are three "people" who write this blog:
Sean - A recreation leadership student from California living in Idaho.
Bob - A made up character who is in love with and committed to Fred.
Fred - A made up character who is in love with and committed to Bob.

(Please note that both Bob and Fred have very different personalities.)

For security purposes, all other names are left off and instead either their initials are used or a name that they prefer is used. For example: Splatt, ProvoPR, ~Gu~, brother, sister, father, and mother aren't their real names. Those are names selected by me or by those people as ways they want to be established on this blog.

Everyone else gets initials: EB, SM, JG, etc.

One person in particular gets a KNJ. This is my ex-fiance, ex-best friend, ex-reason for living. The last blog had a lot of information on it about her. I hope to do less of that now.

Now occasionally you will see an actual name on here. The reason for that is, it's linked to some other website (usually a news web site) and they published the name. If I credit the other website, I figure I'm in compliance with copyright laws and every other law.

Purpose

This blog was created for 4 Purposes:

1. So that I can write the deep thoughts that are on my mind in a satirical way.
2. To help me develope my writing style.
3. To update my friends and family on my life.
4. To keep my father happy - he seems to think I'm a good writer and he wants me to write more often.

Most of the posts that come from reasons 1 & 2 will remain.
Posts resulting from reason 3 will be deleted from time to time.

Commenting

This blog was created for the purpose of sharing my experiences with my friends and family. For the most part - it is for entertainment.

I welcome comments except when they are mean spirited or if they don't contribute to the general feel of the blog. If you are going to post - post with a name. Annoyomous posts will be deleted without consideration.

Thank you and Love,
Sean
