Embrace your inner child.

So I'm downloading the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, so it was bound to happen that I would think back to the old days when I was a kid and all the things that I used to do with or without my friends. Plus all the music that I listened to back then, and when I think about the music that I listened to when I was a kid I notice a huge change in taste of music from then to now.
Some of the things I enjoy watching when I was a kid were:

  • Animaniacs (I don't think I spelled that right)
  • Pokemon (just for a bit)
  • Power Rangers (just the old ones)
There was not a lot of shows I watched unlike most kids I only had the local channels which I'm thankful for because most kids spent their childhood watching television. Some of the toys, cards and other things I loved playing with were.

  • Pogs
  • Pokemon Cards(got boring fast and turned into scamming the younger kids for money)
  • Magic Card(realized that it took away a ton of my money so I stopped)
  • Yo Yo's
  • Lego's (these are the shiz)
  • BB guns
  • Game boy color
  • The old school nintendo(Mario, and battle toads were the best)
  • Trampolines(playing 1,2,3 bounce, or crack the egg)
  • Night Games
  • Burning little sisters stuff
  • Scooters(Yeah I was in a Scooter gang, brothers for life)
  • Bunk beds
  • Tickle monster
  • Neopets
  • Maple Story (biggest mistake of my life)
  • Sledding(which is still the shiz)
This is just some of the things that I enjoyed as a kid, when Money, Education, a Job was not a worry and when picking on the girls you liked was a way to show them that you liked them. I encourage you all to look back at the old days and think of all the fun you had.

Finals Week blog

Alright so I know I haven't blogged for a long time (I've been meaning too I promise) So I thought I would blog while I had some free time left. My biology prof. said a while back that we are dumber than we could be and I have pondered that quote many times thinking what he means exactly by that. But today during biology he opened my eyes on a new subject, he was talking about the nervous system and emotions and how out of all the emotions we have fear is the top when we are hungry if we are scared and running for our life we are no longer hungry because we are scared for our safety, he then asked the question is the educational system that we run a fear based education or a joy based education and most of the class replied fear and I agreed with them because the put us under a ton of stress and expect us to finish all these assignments at a certain deadline, his reply to our reply was that he hopes it becomes a joy based education to some of us, and then talked about how you should take classes that your passionate about because then things become more and more easier for you and not to take classes that people tell you to. I then thought about that and how you should apply this thought to everyday things don't take a job because other people say it is a good job think about the job and if your really passionate about it take it. And if your majoring in something that the only reason your majoring in it is because it makes good money then try and find another job because then you're stuck with a career you hate for the rest of your life just because you wanted a few extra bucks, I'm in a job that I'am passionate about Nursing sure I'm made fun of for taking on the feminine job but still in the end its a job I feel I have wanted to take, which was helping out. So that is all I can think to tell you. Also I'm done with Spanish!!! woot woot.

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.
