Outlook On Life

Every morning you have an opportunity. You look out your window and see a cloudy, overcast, gloomy day ahead of you. You can choose right then to let it ruin your day. But in reality, every day is a beautiful and sunny day, you just have to look past the clouds.


Every morning you have an option. You look out the window and see yourself under the standards of the social world. You can choose right then to let it ruin your day, or you can get over yourself! Because in reality if you look past what others think of you (grey clouds), you have no cares (clouds) in the world (sky)!

If you can just see this for yourself and realize that other peoples opinions don't decide your life, than you will be a much happier person. That doesn't benefit anybody else, it benefits it's YOU! And honestly, that's all that matters!

Senior Trip

If all goes as planed, summer of 2013 will be amazing!!

I feel like I have though up the best senior trip possible. (On a budget) Once Senior year is finally over I want to pack up my bags, hop in the car and take off to..... Arizona! You may be thinking Arizona? Just wait and hear me out!

Arizona is just the start of my Baseball trip!

-Start off the trip by heading down to Glendale AZ. and watch the DBacks.
-Drive over to San Diego CA. to watch the Padres. (It's San Diego so obviously we have to stay for a little bit and go to the beach and stuff)
-Head up to Anaheim to watch an Angles game. (Grandma lives in Los Alamitos, so I wont have to get a hotel/sleep in my car)
-Go to LA and watch a Dodgers game. (Go back to G-mas because we all know i'm not sleeping in LA)
-Truck on up to SF and watch a Giants game (Golden Gate Bridge, ride a Cable car, Lombard Street, and much more.)
-Head over to Oakland and watch an A's game
-Possibly go up to Seattle for a Mariners game (But i've already been there, so probs not)

And this whole time I'm gone I want to stop at all of the temples that I can.


The only problem, I'm obviously not going to do this alone, So I have to find somebody to come with me!

First letter

Today I got my first letter back from my best friend in the Marines, He is in boot camp right now and he is in there for 90 days. But luckily those 90 days started way back on June 5th! Which means after he graduates from boot on August 31 we will be able to hang out again just like the good ol days (But only for 10 days)

Heres what his letter said:

What up JB! So good to hear from you. I really appreciate you writting me. I told my parents to tell you that im sorry I wasnt the best friend. You are such a great person and a better friend. I miss just chilling with you. great times. At the rifle range, we were waiting to start and it was like 0500 and we were singing songs to relax ourselves and we started singing the song I'm glad you came. And when it got to the part hand you another drink, drink it if you can, I was laughing out loud. they were asking me what was up and I was like, man if you only knew. great times. I shot expert. (of course) haha. I hit 80% from 500 meters. Dang Im good. Im gonna take that ward top shot next time. Haha. Im pumped to see ya in 41 days. I'l be an elder by then! who woulda thought.

It was good to hear from him and I cant wait to see him again (No Homo)

HOORAH!

Dream Girl

OH MY GOSH! I JUST REALIZED THAT I NEVER TOLD YOU GUYS ABOUT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE FROM ST. GEORGE!

Okay so Taylar's grandma's neighbor across the street is every mans dream girl!

Her name is Robin and she is amazing

Fine.... Ive never actually seen her but the way that Taylars grandma and Danny were talking her up, she is beautiful! But Danny did say that she has a "cute personality" which kinda scares me because that usually means they are ugly..

I'm kind of upset that we never met but its okay because I'm already over her.

But for that weekend, I truly fell in love <3  ( <-----That is supposed to be a heart)

School

In a weird, unnatural way, I kind of want school to start... (BOOOO!!!)

I know, I know, settle down. Let me explain myself

Summers fun and all, don't get me wrong, but you have to admit, it gets a little boring... ZzzZzZZz
The main reason I want school to start is because IM GONNA BE A SENIOR! Finally right? The quicker it starts the quicker it ends. Senior year will be pretty easy I think because i only have like 2 required classes and the rest are lame schedule fillers. Side note: Everyone is thinking "Im freaking out because once school is over we are going to be in the real world" I agree but if everything goes as planned I wont have any worries. (But I should probably get a job... Nah, YOLO)

Another reason I think school should start already is because once it does it means Cross Country is almost over! :) I like Cross Country and all, but i hate it at the same time. This week is Camp week which means its the worst week of all of the 27 (Yes I said 27) weeks. We have 2-a-days and we go up to Shadow Mountain for 3 days (That means all of our runs are up mountains :'( ) But as much as I say I hate Cross Country, deep down I KIND OF like it. I get to be with my friends and its good exercise.

The last reason I want school to start is because of my theory:

 Theory!

School should be every other day. Think about it. If school MWF instead of MTWTF, not only would it be nice to have a nice little break in between days, but you can actually make plans with your friends early in the week and they won't fall through like they usually do. On a Monday you could be like "Hey, lets go mini golfing tomorrow" and you would probably go mini golfing! 

I don't know... It sounded a lot cooler in my head but now that I actually put it into writing it kinda sounds lame.. My theory probably needs some work so help me out

Anyways thats all for me..

St. George

Last week my buddy Taylar and I went down to his Grandma's house in Hurricane. We went down on Thursday and stayed through the weekend and got back on Monday. The goal was to just go have a fun trip and chill all weekend. The drive from Spanish Fork to St. George is about 3 and 1/2 hours and usually not that bad. But when there is only two of you there isn't a whole lot of stuff going on to keep you occupied. We were about to Beaver (A little over half way) and it hit us. THIS IS THE WORST DRIVE EVER! But we stayed strong and kept on truckin along! To our amazement we made it there with out dying of bordem!

Thursday:

- Left about 11 and got there around 2:15

- Unpacked and talked with Grandma and Danny (Step-Grandpa, I didn't know what to refer him as, so he is just Danny)

- Went to Sky Mountain Golf Course and played a round (Very scenic and not too pricy)

- Danny made Pork chops for dinner and they were delicious!

- Just relaxed around for the night, watched some baseball and played some Xbox (Tired from the drive)

Friday:

- Just a relaxing day. Got lunch, toured the town, relaxed, went to the mall, got dinner. Thats about it!

- My grandma was driving to our house from California and she was staying in St. George for the night so we went and visited her.

- Went to Yogurtland (Never disappoints)

Saturday:

- Went to Fiesta Fun - I have heard a lot of good things about it so i was pretty excited to go

       -The mini golf was alright but most of the holes were similar.

       - The go-carts were slow but it was a nice track

- We made ribs for dinner and they were fall off the bone delicious

Sunday:

- Went to Zions National Park

- Hiked Angles Landing! (Me, Taylar, & Danny) That was super fun and an experience that I will never forget. I recommend that everybody does it at least once in their life. Its a fun and pretty hard hike with a great view of Zions.  At the end of the hike it's so high up and steep that you have to hold on to chains so you don't fall off of the mountain.

- Got home and his Grandma had steak and potatoes ready (Thankfully because we were starving)

- Went to Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. BEST. MOVIE. OF. THE. SUMMER/YEAR/DECADE?

Monday:

-Packed up said our goodbyes and drove home. The drive home was a lot better. not sure why

It was a fun weekend and his Grandparents were great. They were nice, fed us good, and offered great hospitality. 

One thing I learned about this trip is that I don't like St. George as much as I thought i did.. TOO HOT!

Getting Started

I have been absolutely obsessed with blogs lately, so... I decided to try it out myself. Don't get mad if my posts are a little slow and boring, not to mention periodic, (If anybody even reads them) because I am just getting started and I am still learning how this thing works from the other side.
To start off I guess I will just tell you guys a little bit about me. Im gonna try to be as honest as possible with this.
1. Full name: Jordan Brett Beary. Most people call me Lil-Bear.
2. Birthday: May 9, 1995
3. Sports: I run Cross Country for Maple Mountain and I play city basketball and baseball
4. I'm 5'8 1/2" (If you ask I will say 5'9'')
5. I know I'm fat, so I don't need you telling me.
6. Favorite:
-Class: Athletic Director Assistant: Field Prep & Management (I basically paint the football and soccer field during the fall. and during the spring i go over to BYU and I have an internship at Larry H. Miller Field, So i do baseball and softball. I love it!)
-Drink: Diet Coke! Make fun of me all you want, but it wont change the fact that I love it. But im trying not to drink carbonation so my favorite drink right now would be Blue Powerade
-Food: Chinese! nothing beats a good chinese meal!
-Restaurant: Joe Banditos. (I love the chips and salsa, and also the Melanesa)
-Color: Orange
-Sport: to watch, College football. to play, baseball or basketball
-Teams: Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Portland Trail Blazers. (And I just jumped on the Oklahoma City Thunder bandwagon)
-Player: James Harden. I love his beard and one day I dream that I will be able to grow great facial hair like him. (Don't worry I probably wont be able to) (and I still love Jimmer <3)
7. Im a die hard sports fan. I could (and have) talk about sports all day. I love playing, watching and learning
8. Goals: I want to go to BYU Hawaii for my first year off college, after that i plan on serving a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, After I return from my sweet mission I want to graduate from BYU Provo! I want to get married to my eternal companion in the temple and be the head honcho at Turner Field in the management department. (I don't know the official title of it..)
9. My favorite place to go on vacation would probably be California! nothing beats grandmas house (Side note: I just got back from Glenwood Springs Colorado and it was amazing. its a little town but there is so much to do there. HIGHLY RECOMENDED. oh and last year I went to Denver and that was fun too. so Colorado is fun too. but so is Seattle. I cant decide, they are all fun)
10. I love being around my friends. we don't even have to be doing something for me to be having a good time. sometimes it gets annoying not doing anything, but i get over it pretty fast. just having a good friendship can go along ways.
11. I kind of know Sign Language.
12. I use a LOT of sarcasm. sorry not sorry. I think its awesome. when somebody says something stupid or asks a stupid question you can count on me to make fun of them.

well that basically wraps it up for me.
