HAPPY 311 DAY!!

HAPPY 311 DAY!!!!!

I know not many people my age still listen to 311, but this band made a huge impact in my life and I still love 'em. There are many great memories from my youth that I can connect with this band. So, let this be my tribute to those memories in proxy by 311!!

"Give thanks and praise for good things you've found!
Humble people not ashamed nor proud!
And always try to keep your feet on the ground,
and love yourself!"
-SA "Running"

Quotes Galore!!

I thought this picture was funny!!

Anywho, a while ago, Josh Dean did something that I thought was pretty funny. He would write down different things people say into his palm pilot calling it his "quote book". Every once in a while, he would whip it out and remind us of some of the dumb and entertaining things that would come out of our mouths. Well, I asked Josh today for this "quote book" and he emailed it to me so I thought I'd like to post it. Also, I would like to compile my own quote book. If you look to the right, under "Random Quotes", there is a quote. I plan on adding to that. Joe thought that quote was funny so I decided to start it off with that one (I said it last night). Some people you won't know, some you will. Josh was also very courteous enough to email me the original "quote book" so I'll post it here for your enjoyment:

Blogging! This is one thing that I never thought I'd get into. Alas, here I am, blogging! Of course the act of doing is different than getting into it. Passion needs to be involved when you get into it and I don't think I could feel "passionate" about writing meaningless banter on the world wide web available to friends, family and people I've never met to read. Since when did personal journals become public literature? That said, here goes nothin...

My name is David Christopher Murphy. I was born in Miami, Florida on August 25th, 1982. I moved out to Salt Lake City, Utah when I was 11 and have been here since, aside from a 2 year stint in Italy serving a mission for my church when I was 19-21. I currently attend the University of Utah as an Exercise Sport Science/Physiology major and a Pre-med student. One of the many reasons I chose to start blogging now is to update anyone who wants to know everything about these medical endeavors of mine, as well as my dating life(being one of the only one's in my group of friends not married), and any other amusing event that may entertain those aforementioned.

So, we'll see how this goes!!!
