Summer Lineup

We finally got rid of all the junk!

Ever wondered what goes on in the ugliest house on the street? Neither have I. I'm going to tell you a little bit about our mad house for my own amusement. Because...Pinecone!

There are two reasons why I'm writing about my roommates:

1. It's long overdue. I generally blog about it whenever we have a occupant change.
2. I'm sick of writing about my thoughts on controversial issues we see on social media each day.

In short, I am tired of the extremist views shared on the comment sections. Then again, the loudest voices tend to be in the minority; at least, I hope it is so. Otherwise, we have a grim future dominated by people who not only know nothing about resolving a issue, but creating more conflict while playing the "force fix/update" button on society.

Without further delay, I shall bring on the house lineup. As usual, I'll order the tenants here by age.

Circa February 2014

It is unfortunate that I'm oldest in this house. Luckily, age is just a number. I recently finished up all my coursework at BYU, put myself in self-imposed unemployment to prepare for the MCAT, and will now start an internship at the Intermountain Medical Center up in Murray in July. More surprises coming in the next year or two!

My near future goals are obtaining more "power", work for a year to save money, and eventually more schooling.

I don't even know... when did this happen?

Between John and Tyler, they are the next in line. 

John is currently employed by the Church as a paid intern. He is putting all information systems knowledge to good use. He is also one of the last original six including me.

Good games, good times, and good workouts are all but part of John's busy life.

Tyler is new to our house, but he is no stranger to us! This man has been an integral part of our madness since the days of IX at Miller.

A diamond in the rough when it comes to future careers. He's got many options, and now we will see which path he will take. By the way, this man is from Jersey and I'm always partial to East Coasters.

Nick & Amanda

Our resident filmmaker is taking the next big step in the course of life. Nick and Amanda are scheduled to be married in late July.

It'd appear that we are marrying off all the Missouri boys! When you see Nick, be sure to pass on your congratulations! That is...if you can find him.

He's as fresh as they come!

Normally, we have a tight grip on who gets to join us, but this one slipped through the cracks thanks to all the unexpected changes coming from Jonathan and Klint.

In case you missed them, Jonathan is in the Marines and Klint is scheduled to be married in October this year. In addition, T.K. will rejoin us when Nick moves out.

Jared is a good man. Fresh off of his mission in Russia; still got the recent RM aura all over him.

Jared is from Arizona, studying computer science at BYU. His hobbies include eating healthy and working out. He's a bit shy, but more than willing to make friends. Sadly, he is only with us until the end of the summer. Get to know him while you can!

Seems awfully relaxed for someone that works 50+ hours a week

Last of all, we have Alex: the TRUE car guy.

Life can be difficult for a car guy, especially when we are all mostly amateurs compared to his vast knowledge and interest about cars.

Alex is currently working full time (and then some) and plans to study mechanical engineering at BYU.

Much like John, good games and good times are also part of his busy life. Not to mention, he's got a summer project car that he is working on while time passes. If you have an insatiable interest in cars, he's the man to tickle your fancies!

That will be all for now! Be sure to look for another post in the fall!
