“Wow that was satisfying!”

Here is a list of things that I find satisfying or gives me that tingling feeling that runs through my body:
· Opening a new can of peanut butter and seeing that nice, smooth top layer of peanut butter untouched by fingers or a knife.
· Opening a new box of crayons and seeing all the crayons lined up evenly row by row, each sharpened to the very same point, and the colors are organized so it looks like a rainbow. (By the way, that sharpeners on the back of the big boxes were awful)
· Hitting a golf ball perfectly with your seven iron, it’s like you didn’t hit anything at all.
· A four shot in Halo, go ahead and laugh at me I don’t care.
· Doing a physics or calculus problem and have it flow off your pencil, you know exactly what you are doing and where you are going with the work.
· Having a sparkling clean car after it was covered in mud and grim.
· Hearing your favorite song come on the radio.
· Finishing a good book.
· Being the first one to drive through the fresh snow in the morning.
· Being the very first golfer on the golf course on a Saturday morning.
· Loving somebody
· Working out
· Getting done with a run that nearly kills you.
· Painting a wall, room, or building.
· After a long days work I hop in the shower and just stand there and watch the dirt run off my body.
That’s all I got right now, feel free to add to the list.

Spring Break

Saturday:
Finally got to sleep in a bed bigger than a twin, for a guy my size it really kills me. It was really nice out and I knew that the weather was not going to hold all week so I made sure that I got outside as much as I could. I played 9 holes at Mariana Butte, my favorite course in Colorado, and really enjoyed myself. That night my dad and I went to DU's final hockey game of the regular season and it was against Colorado College, their rivals. It was a good game to watch but ended up tying 1 to 1.

Sunday:
Went to church in the morning where I felt like a rock star because everybody wants to talk to me. It’s always nice to see familiar faces at church, makes you feel like you really are home. After church my sister, my mom, and I went out to Chili’s for lunch where we ran into Aaron Watkins who is a waiter there. Later that day my dad and I went to the driving range to hit some balls and enjoy the nice weather, I have never hit the golf ball better than I have this week. Went to church that night and afterwards my mom and I went back to her house and watched Simon Burch, which didn’t make me cry sadly enough (pun intended).

Monday:
Monday was not a good day; I put a hole in the wall of my sister’s new room which really pissed off my dad. This incident here really set the tone for the rest of the week with my dad, awkward and “walking on eggshells”. So I spent the majority of my day fixing this whole in the wall and did not get to play golf which really bummed me out. Connor came over later that afternoon to play some Halo and catch up on things and then later the whole Krajec family gathered at my mom’s house for some dinner (fish) and dessert (oatmeal cookies).

Tuesday:
In the morning I had to go to my dad’s house to work on the hole in the wall, talk about walking on eggshells that morning. Sadly it snowed that morning so golf and doing anything outside was done for, only in Colorado can it be 50 degrees out and snow the next. Connor and I made more little boys cry on Xbox Live via Halo beatings and caught up even more on school and life. It was another relaxing evening at my mom’s house and I got to catch up on all of my reading that I have been slacking on.

Wednesday:
Still working on that hole in the wall in the morning and the snow was melting slowly but surely. Didn’t really do anything during the day until it was time to go to Anna’s winter sports banquet where my mom drove us there in her new Saab that she purchased that day. Afterwards we drove to church where we dropped my sister off and then went off to a nice little ride in the turbo car. Spent that night at my dad’s house and watched V for Vendetta, great movie.

Thursday:
Went and played golf by myself and then with my dad at the Olde Course, played decently well but not quite where I wanted to be. Connor and I headed to UNC to meet up with Zach and Chris for the evening, this made my week awful. It was really nice to see Zach and Chris but it was brought to my attention that Kelsey had a boyfriend; it hurts to even write that. You know I’m happy for her, I want her to move on, and the last thing I want is here to sit in her room for months crying over me, I don’t want her to be sad or unhappy, I want her to be happy…we have to move on. I want all of this but it still sucks to hear that news, especially since it’s only been a month and a week since we last talked, but hey you can’t get worked up about something that you cannot control right? Since I was with friends I didn’t really get to think about it that much.

Friday:
My dad wakes me while I’m having a great dream about having no worries, right away I realize what I heard last night, it overwhelmed me to the point where I became very quiet and slightly depressed. My dad and I went to Johnson’s Corner for breakfast where I didn’t eat a thing and didn’t really say a word to my dad. I struggled all day with the news; I struggled a lot, too many thoughts running through my head. I had a letter for Kelsey’s parents that I wrote for them early this week saying thank you and explaining the whole situation with Kelsey and I from my standpoint. I feel like they deserved to know what was going on since it was their girl whose heart was just broken. I delivered to her house, thankfully no one was home at the time. Hopefully that came across the right way for them. I headed out to Walker to make sure that I have a job for next summer, which I do, and had lunch with Jesse at his house. I went to the Olde Course and played some FANTASTIC golf all by myself, that round of golf made my whole week because I got to spend some quality time alone. My dad and I went to the DU hockey game that night; they were facing Alaska in the best of three series. This was probably the best DU game I have seen so far, it was a comeback win for the Pioneers after being down two and they edged out the win 3-2.

Saturday:
I finished the hole in the wall just in time for my sister to start painting the dull white walls a nice shade of orange. I slowly but surely got out of the house with my dad to play some golf, he was not in a good mood when we started playing so it was a little awkward for me to be playing with him. I played some great golf this round too because I was working the ball and hitting good shots all over the course. Zach and I played some Halo at my house that night and then a bunch of us hung out; it was a good way to end my spring break.

So overall this break was so-so, I really struggled with my dad and the news about Kelsey having a boyfriend. If I had to rate this break it probably be around a 6.5 out of 10, golf was really the only reason why it’s so high, not to mention having lunch with some great people.

I have $10, which burrito joint do I go to?

I felt the need to talk about this after I got done talking to Mrs. Duerre of Olympia, Washington the other day. My argument is based from Colorado, so for those of you who do not know which burrito joints I am talking about I am sorry.

1. Big City Burrito (BCB)
This is a Colorado original, starting in Fort Collins and expanding to many other locations located throughout Northern Colorado. My burrito of choice from here is:
JalapeƱo cheddar tortilla, cheese, potatoes, pinto beans, corn salsa, and ranch.
The potato burrito from BCB is to die for, the ranch dressing oozes out with every bite, the jalapeno cheddar tortilla wraps the wonderful mixture of contents inside, to die for. It will always top Qdoba and Chipotle because it’s original, who else has a potato burrito on their menu??? The combination of potato and ranch will meet and go beyond any expectation.

2. Qdoba
Qdoba is home of the great chicken/steak queso burrito. Here is my regular burrito:
Pinto beans, chicken/steak, rice, queso, corn salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
The mixture of warm cheese and beans with the cooling sensation of rice and sour cream creates an explosion in your mouth with every bite.

3. Chipotle
Another Colorado original, starting in Denver right next to the University of Denver, but that is about as far as my compliments go. The meat is very tender, which is good, but to many spices added to it. The burrito itself will come across as bland and boring compared to the great BCB and Qdoba. Not to mention that the chicken burrito is one of the unhealthiest things anybody can eat out of the three burrito joints. I struggle with Chipotle, it may be because I had the other two burritos before trying a bland Chipotle burrito, or it could be the fact that it’s just not that great.

What I’m trying to say is….Big City Burrito and Qdoba are so much better than Chipotle.

Optimistic

#6 Team UNO vs. #2 Volleyball Team
Semi Finals (Purple Bracket)
Court 2 8:00 P.M.

On Tuesday my team (Team UNO) beat #3 Findin' Dogs in the first round of the tournament, this was a very big win because the last game we played they beat us by 20. We returned to the basketball court on Tuesday night still riding our "high" from the win on Thursday and were prepared to get another win. The Volleyball team held the lead the entire game, at one point we were within four points but eventually they pulled away with some timely 3 pointers. After the game I kept thinking, "We could have beaten those guys." My high school basketball team experienced many "L's" and not enough "W's" and after every loss I always thought to myself, "We could have beaten those guys."

Now am I being to optimistic here, or am I just being oblivious to the fact that we got beat by the better team? I believe anybody or any team can beat the "better" team if they know that they can. Best example for this happened in 1980 when the men's USA hockey team beat the Soviet Union, AKA The Miracle on Ice. I truly believe a team with a strong, focused mental drive can beat anybody that steps in their way.

I decided to find a Far Side comic due to popular request:





This was the first Far Side strip I experienced in my life, I think it was on somebody's shirt. The beauty behind Far Side is Gary Larson draws one picture to get his humor across.

Spring Break is coming up next week, looking forward to a good time with family and friends. Big City Burrito will be a frequent stop for me.

Time for some Halo 3 pawnage...

On your mark, get set....

Hello

I have decided to start doing this blogspot thing because Luke does it, and if Luke does anything then it's automatically cool. You may ask, "Why David Webb? Who is he?" Well David Webb is Jason Bourne's real name (Jason Bourne is the guy from all of the Bourne movies and books) and I decided to use his name because it's always more mysterious when you write under another name. Plus, deep down I want to be Jason Bourne.

I tend to wake up at 7:30 in the morning to take a shower and eat breakfast before my physics class, I find it refreshing. However, when I get into the cafeteria and I am in the eggs and bacon line I want to be able to serve myself. I am a grown man, for the most part, and I think I can decide how many strips of bacon I want, but the nice lady behind the counter insists on "helping" me get my breakfast onto my plate. She will put two pieces of bacon on my plate....two, "but I really want three." That's what I say to myself not to her because I instantly feel bad if I have to ask her for more, so I eat my "big" plate of breakfast and leave the cafeteria somewhat full. I can't wait for the day when I am truly free.

I think my main purpose of these blogs will to upload my favorite comic strips from Pearls Before Swine, Far Side, xkcd, Cyanide and Happiness, and a few others. I found this one today and it really "spoke to me" since I am single.

I think I'm going to like this whole blogging thing...
