My week so far..

So I thought I would just blog for a second because I really have nothing to do and realized that I haven't blogged in awhile. So I'm going to blog about my semi crappy day to start my week of giving thanks. It all started off with me sleeping in because I was so tired from friday night and drinking a whole 6 pack of pepsi which kept me up till 5 a.m. So I slept in past Spanish and I know I probably missed something just a bit important hopefully not too important, plus my dad took the bike lock off his bike which I use and left it at home so I have an unlocked bike on campus and I'm praying that it does not get stolen because its not my bike and it is one of my dads favorite bikes. Plus the battery charger on my phone is not working so my phone is on low battery till I figure out the problem. So thats me week so far hopefully everything works out in the end, after all it is thanksgiving week woot woot, lots and lots of food.

An Amazing Week in the Life of Scott Downard

Yeah I know what your thinking, this picture looks depressing no smile, but for some reason I like this one but that's just cause I'm weird. Alright so I know that I haven't blogged in awhile so I thought I would update you a little and tell you about my amazing week, even though I was stressing the whole week about tests I think I did okay not grade A material but maybe grade C material. My week started off looking like a week in hell but as you'll read I had a blasty blast the whole week.

Monday started off just a normal day went to Spanish, had a 1 on 1 session with my Professor which was kind of her to take time to help me and it did somewhat. I still have a hard time learning Spanish but it's easier taking tests now. Then biology and math were normal, I did get my test back from math and all I can say is I need to get my butt in gear which I am it was just the last chapter I was struggling with, this chapter is much easier. Okay so I'm not going to go day by day because I don't want you to fall asleep reading this. So Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday I had exams which I think I did okay on.

So after my Spanish test on Wednesday, I got to hang out with my sexy girlfriend Stephanie (yes its true scott is dating and there is someone out there besides his family that can somewhat stand his dorkyness) where we went down to the gateway and went shopping! And if you have ever went shopping with me I'm a picky person when it comes to choosing clothing but with her it made it easy cause I had an opinion. In the pictures I posted you can see that we both have sexy new coats and somewhat matching comfy shoes just different colors. That was one of the awesome adventures I had this week.

Thursday while taking my biology test the power went out for a bit and we had to keep moving around from the lobby to the class and it kind of distracted me and in the end I think it was one of my downfalls, but I think I did well. The fun and amazing part of the day was at night U of U vs. TCU what an amazing game and I spent it with Stephanie, Macy, and Megan, which just made it even better. The best part of the game was the last 2 min of the game the score was TCU 10 U of U 6 and we were a whole field away from scoring TCU had failed to make 2 field goals which was just one miracle and then to make it down the whole field in under two minuets to score the winning touchdown as just amazing!
The last three days of the week I took the late train home where I was board and took a few pictures.






Then after getting home after the game I was starving and awake for some reason and so I had the weirdest late night snack(Macoroni and cheese pop tarts, apple sauce,grape juice, and chips, and since I was awake I cleaned the white board and wrote on it which made my night.


Friday night was great because me and stephanie went out to eat at a italian restaraunt where I actidentally bought a salad because I suck at speaking up but my chicken callsoni was delicous, we then met an awesome homeless guy his name was Dave Butterfield and just a happy/funny guy to talk to. Saturday was just a normal day where my mom helped me with my math and I hung with Vince and Eric til 5 in the morning (good times). So thats my week.

Things I want to see

I just thought I would do a quick blog on things that I would like to do while I am on this earth(not saying I'm going to die anytime soon but its nice to make a list). I sat looking at the stars the other night and tried to think of the wonderful things that I have done and there are quite a few but not enough in my book. I really haven't left this state for fun things to do Las Vegas is probably the one fun out of state thing I can remember. According to many people I'm missing out on a ton of amazing adventures. So here's a list of not just place I want to go to but also a list of things I want to do.

1. First I want to go to San Fransisco and stay there for awhile and enjoy its amazing tourist attractions.
2. I would also like to travel to every continent.
3. I want to witness the Northern lights.
4. While I'm in Alaska I want to travel by sled dogs.
5. I want to witness someone big apologizing for any big mistakes he has done whether its a celebrity, religious leader, or a politician, but then I want to see everyone forgive him for it. (this will probably never happen but its nice to dream)
6. I want to see a whole city make a vow of silence for 1 maybe 2 min and just listen.
7. I want to see everyone I know find true happiness.
8. I want to visit Motaray bay aquarium, and the Sandiego Zoo.
9. I want to learn how to surf.
10. I want to sit and have lunch with a homeless person (that's not crazy) and just see what went wrong and try and fix it.
11. I want to see 1 of the worlds problems fixed by a child.
12. I want to go in a submarine and view the bottom of the ocean.

These are just a few of the things I would like to witness or visit.

Its Like an angel whispering in you ear

Hola amigas. I know I haven't been blogging as much but the month of stress is almost over, with my biology, spanish and math exams out of the way I now only have a few little test to take this month. Anyways I thought I would blog about one of my favorite bands in the whole world (right up there next to 311 & Sum 41) The band's name is the Muse, their are like an alternative rock band and I first heard them when I was stealing music from my sister becka's computer, she's the reason I have a strange obsession for music now and for that I thank her. Muse is by far one of the most creative bands ever they don't follow the routine emo punk bands (some of those emo punk bands are good though) anyways their instrumentals are amazing it just like the title whenever I hear muse on my Mp3 its like an angle whispering in your ear. They have come to Utah but I missed them and hope to catch them one day along with Unwritten Law who decided that they'll only play at venues that require I.D. This little blog is just all I can do in my short time between classes. Also their lead guitarist is an amazing musician just listen to some of the solos he does, his hair is also awesome. I'm actually working on two other blogs one thats going to have lots of pictures so I need to steal the SD card reader and one thats just a bunch of rants about this year.
I'm going to make a playlist of only songs by the muse and they'll be the songs that I absolutely adore some you may have heard on the radio like Starlight, Knights of Cydonia, or Super Massive Blackhole. So in conclusion I would just say my 3 loves are Family, Friends, and Music.

I like this dog

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

How I spend my very little freetime.

So I'm writing from school, and I'm going to talk about the many different dogs I have selected that have good traits to be a pet for the Downard family, such as good with kids, house pet/ outside pet, all climates, city pet and so on and so forth.

I will start off with the Norwegian elkhound. Full grown it be alittle passed an adults knees. It is really good with kids which I know is one thing everyone is looking for in our next dog. It is also a good city dog and is adaptable to all climates. This dog is basically lightning with a tail. This is a dog that I would really like because I'm not a fan of the short dogs, I know a few who have them and some are nice but most are really snippy when someone pushes them around because they are so small, and knowing tyler that might be a problem.






Now the next dog is a little smaller but not punting size for me. The Norwegian Lundehund (those Norwegians know their dogs) full grown they come to an adults knee. They are also good with kids and are basically the same as the norwegian elkhound but smaller and a different color. So its like a mini lightning.
Next the portugese pondengo this one comes in all three sizes you just have check before you select which one you pick. I could maybe live with a small one but I would prefer a medium size one. This dog is good with children when respect is established between them, which is good because I didn't notice tyler ever trying to kill lightning they are watch dogs and hunting dogs which are kinda cool. They also come in short haired which means less shedding.




The Australian Cattle Dog!!! This is the dog I want! its lightning with pointy ears and a tail and more grey. Now this one is good with kids but should be supervised just in case a evil little kid tries to pull its tail or hurt it. I just love this dog theres no exceptions this is the best dog in the whole world. Its even the size for a lap dog, and they are so fun and energetic.





Border Collie is my second favorite. They have about the same personality of the Australian cattle dog but they are bigger and are black and white. All of these dogs that I have selected are very intelligent so that makes them really fast learners, all of them are loyal dogs and also very good watch dogs which means they will help us counter the surprise ninja attacks. We all liked roxy but we knew the problems with puppies so she had to go and roxy was a border collie.

German Shepherd, awesome dog loveable, fun to play with intelligent, bigger than usual dog we have had but not too big. German shepherds are just great dogs, plus they could help us find the good places to hide drugs and stuff where drug dogs can't smell. Also if our house collapses it will help us find people under the rubble .
These are just some of the dogs that I have studied and really really like. I would be happy with any of these dogs. As you can tell I'm getting to the point where I want another dog really really badly. Just not the same with out a soft lovable animal in the house and the bird hates me so that doesn't work.

Reasons why we need a dog!

Of course many of you know I've been pushing for a new dog ever since the passing of my bestest friend in the world Lightning. So I thought I would blog about the many reasons why it is great to have a dog many of these I found online. Before I start though I would like to begin with a story that I was emailed a long time ago and I have kept ever since then.

A Dog's Purpose (from a 4-year-old)
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa,and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.
We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

If a dog was the teacher, you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

I always love reading that story because I love dogs! It kind of sucks not having one because I have no one to take on walks no one to talk to at night when a certain someone is knocked out from sleeping aids, no one to cuddle up with at night to keep me warm, no one to eat my left over food when I'm full and cannot eat anymore, no one to greet me at the door when I come home, and no one to play catch with outside. These are the reasons I came up with I then came across a website that gave more good reasons.

If you want someone who will bring you the paper without
first tearing it apart to remove the sports section

Buy a dog.

If you want someone willing to make a fool of himself simply over the joy of seeing you

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says its not quite as good as his mother made it

Buy a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't give a damn about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually

Buy a dog.

Now I never said I wanted a puppy cause I know that takes work and with all our schedules I know we don't have time to train a puppy, all I'm asking for is a cute furry dog (Border Coli) cause it sucks not having a dog in this house.
sorry about all the different text formats for some reason copy and paste screws up everything.
