Well, I am not quite sure what I want to talk about right now. It has been awhile and a lot has happened so I suppose we weill just see where this goes.
So first things first, I have a girlfriend! Girlfriend might be understating it... I have someone who I care about a bunch and who improves me each day. So I suppose I should write the whole story...
So on Jan 26 I had a date lined up for that night. Fortunately (normally this is a case where you would say unfortunately) my date could not go to the second half of the planned date. This sent me into scramble mode to try and find someone immediately! So I went over to Gabe's and we scavenged through the ward directory, me being a determined vulture, Gabe being my voice of reason (STEEEEOOOOOORRRRTTTTSSSSSSS, Newman...) hahaha. So any my rush through the ward directory I noticed a girl that I had never seen before, who has requested to remain nameless at the moment. I will refer to her as Bella. Bella was really pretty and I made it a mental note to find out who she was. I continued that day, finding a date and having a good time with each of the two people.
The next sunday, I saw Bella again! She was walking to church and looked really pretty! I told her that I liked her shoes. I had done it!! I talked to this girl from the ward directory, and upgraded myself from a mystery to her, to someone she may have had a vague recollection of! Watch out world!
That night, I think I stalked her into a couple different apartments during munch and mingle. Then I talked to her again! Yes!! She told me about how she worked at BYU in their study abroad department. She also talked about how she was taking the GMAT this week and was a little nervous. I offered my services to her, and dropped off some ice cream during the week, and wished her well on her test.
(I think I should add a disclaimer that I still have a lot to type and things might be a little mushy from here on out.)
The following Saturday rolled around and Barney, Keith, and I were watching sports all day. Literally, we watched the BYU basketball game and then went to cafe rio so we could watch the Jazz game that night as well. We decided that we should go on a group date that night with our roomates and Gabe. I immediately wanted to ask out Bella, and called her on the phone.
The transcript over the phone is as follows.
Adam: Hi is Bella there?
Bella: This is her.
Adam: Hi, it's me Adam Murphy (I adopted this tactic from you James, stating your first and last names immediately after calling someone minimizes the chance that they will mistake you for someone else, or even worse not associate you with anyone they know.)
how are you?
Bella: I am good.
Adam: to myself in the back of my head this is where we are supposed to ask her out.
YOU want to go to the movies with us?
Bella: Yes, (at this point I can't remember anything that she said, I just remember being relieved and excited.)
Soooo we went and saw the Golden Compass, which has been covered extensively in my peers' blogs. And we just have gone from there! I held her hand Tuesday February 5 and we have been official as of Sunday February 10. I am way pleased with where things are. I don't want to get too personal or anything but I did want to share one experience I really thought was cool.
So Wednesday I had to go to work and supervise intramural tennis. Usually this is one of the easiest jobs on campus I can imagine. It takes about five minutes per hour, during which I make one check mark and write the names of the winners down on a single sheet of paper. During the down time I can study at my own leisure and really do whatever. Sounds easy eh? Will when I got there at six o'clock on Wednesday, the courts were all being used by the Boise State women;s team. After a lot of confusin and about 30 phone calls I had to cancel the matches that had been scheduled and explain to the sixteen couples that they wouldnt be able to play today. Most of the people were very understanding, a few made it a little more stressful, and I jsut wanted it ot be over. I just thought about seeing Bella that night and I felt way more relaxed. The night was hectic all night and I just needed a break. Well Bella, k I am tired of typing bella, SHANNON picked me up from work and we spent the remainder of the night watching Nacho Libre!! It was sweet! Just what I needed. I was way grateful for someone that I could just count on to keep me calm. It is such a blessing to have someone that can take away all the stress from your life. It is refreshing to be with someone that you can improve yourself with. Just one more thing and I swear I'll be done. I just wanted to follow up with my very first blogs, talking about communication. Shannon is easily the easiest person to talk to after only knowing her such a shortwhile. I think that is the biggest area in which I have seen improvement already is communciation.
Well that was a bunch and I still haven't updated too much on life itself. I apologize for being one dimensional but it is time for bed!

Rivals
I think one of my favorite things about life is having rivals. I may not appear to be too overtly competitive, but I really enjoy having people that are nemesis. I have an example. So all of my classes are way far from each other. I go from the Richards building up the endless stair too the basement of the JFSB or to the end of the JSB then too the seventh floor of the Tanner building, any way I am rushing to class and am never aided by professors. Each of my professors suffers from the superiority complex that they have the most important thing to say to you at that instant. Soooo stemming from this situation a rival developed.
So there is this cute girl that I like to sit by in my old testament class. I hustle out of my volleyball class tuesdays and thursdays and sprint up the stupid stairs and then traverse over to the JSB. Now on tuesdays I have no problem getting into our seats in the back and life is enjoyable. Thursdays, not so much. (K I think I need to put a disclaimer in here that I do not really hate this person at all) Thursdays, I show up and someone is always in my seat! And not a different someone the same someone!! She is a nice, pregnant student who can probably only attend one of the two classes a week. I know not her name nor her origin, I do know where she sits on Thursdays. So this last thursday, I figured I would beat this soon-to-be mother at her own game, sitting in that seat I like on Thursdays. So sometimes I shower after volleyball, not this day! I perfectly made sure I put forth minimal effort in class to prevent the need to shower. Normally, I get a drink after volleyball. Drink?!?!? And waste a full minute hydrating? Pointless! Normally I wait for this girl outside the lockerroom after volleyball. This Thursday! HA! Never! I was going to smoke this young woman. I gathered my stuff after not putting the volleyball awayduring class even though I was the one who had it in his hands when class ended. I changed in record time, and passed like 75 people on the steps. I felt like a real athlete. I hastily walked to the JSB not stopping once. I entered 178 in the JSB with a flourish!!! Not only was the seat unoccupied, but the cute girl was already there! That woman and her developing child were no match for me!!! I rejoiced in the moment for awhile and waited to see the face of the lady when she had been hoodwinked out of her spot!! HEHEHEHHEHEHE She entered with a flourish looking tired, and well looking for a seat!! HAHAHA look over here m'am!! I am in your seat!! Take that! You were once so proud, ooking down at me with disdain from your throne of the rear of the class, boasting your successful relationship that was soon to yield a child, waving the fact that I don't even have a girlfriend yet!! You were so cruel, now your day o comeuppance has arrived. In the words of Ralphy from A Christmas Story, "Alright Pregnant lady( He actually says Black Bart, we'll assume he would agree with my stance), now you get yours. And then something happened. As she entered the class there were really no more seats left! There was one at the very inside of a row, but she was in no condition! OH! How my winning glory faded! How I felt the pangs of a shameful, abominable victory!! The act of all of the students moving for the pregnant lady was so notable that the professor even noted it before he started his lecture. Fortunately he neglected to proclaim the savage manner in which I had pilfered the seat from this young woman.
I had a lot of fun typing that, I have moments like these where I get so caught up I just end up doing something silly. Sometimes I think that I am a nice guy, then I slip up and make life worse for pregnant people. HAHA oh well! Please do not judge me, I plan to let that woman sit in her seat forevermore. So it is almost four a.m. I should probably wrap it up.
Oh one more thing, I think I crafted my best facebook status ever, it is up currently let me know what you think and rebuke me for light mindedness if necessary.

Life
Awww life. Sometimes I just wonder who's pulling the strings both for good and bad. So this weekend was nice, I spent sometime Friday with James and celebrated Kirk's birthday on Saturday. So how many of you would need an alarm clock to wake up at say 10 a.m.? 11? Daresay, noon? I am here to tell you that I evidently require an alarm clock in order to wake up before 1:48 p.m. That's right, I turned over Saturday morning, errrr afternoon to realize that I had slept through the first game that I was suppose to supervise and had almost missed the second game. Luckily I had some one working with me when usually I wouldn't who was able to cover for me, phew!
So right now I am in one of those weird phases where, right after I take a girl out, she'll inevitably end up having a boyfriend who isn't me. Oh well. Not sure really how to prevent it, but sadly I can see where it can happen twice more this week! HAHAHA what you gonna do? I wonder if I should pursue girls more aggressively. I have been doing good lately with expressing my feelings towards girls with my actions, however at the moment I am putting out indecisive actions, because well... I feel indecisive. Seems like just when something looks like it is going somewhere, it fizzles something else springs up, it fizzles.... It kind of feels like I am a giant vat of soda and every once in awhile someone drops Pop Rocks into my vat in different areas, and I go towards the fizzle, then when I get there the original fizzle is gone, and I here more pop rocks, and go follow them, and so on. I think that analogy was a result of blogging close to three. HAHA oh well.
My classes are very interesting. They all just blow my mind in so many different ways. Marriage Prep has been a super awkward/informative/silly/fun/inspiring class. I have had a number of times in class where I have introspected and found things I definitely could improve about myself. On Friday, Professor Barlow showed a video that really helped put things into perspective. The video was just pictures of old couples smiling, holding hands, kissing, just being happy together. It really just helped me put into perspective that the only thing I need to be successful in is marriage. When I was watching the video, nothing meant more to me then having a happy, loving marriage, and really deep down I think that is how I really am. Money doesn't matter, having a successful career doesn't matter, early failures in life don't matter. If I can just get to where I am old and in love life has been fulfilled. I wish I could have that feeling of the simplicity all the time.
My international business course is pretty much the exact opposite. The professor has had a wide variety of jobs, in marketing, sales, profit-loss, management, entreprenurial, being a CEO, in a wide variety of international settings as well. The guy has done it all. I wonder if I have what it takes to succeed in business. I just do not think that I am cutthroat enough. I think personal financial planning would be a much better fit for myself. None the less, I have really enjoyed the exposure my international business class has given me.
Astronomy is the last course in which I feel really stimulated by. The class is in the planetarium with these AMAZING cushy seats that recline way far back so you can look straight up. Space has always intrigued me. It has always had a calming influence. I love just looking at the stars and pondering my life.
You know what, I think I like someone.
I am going to ask her out till she tells me to stop! Take that! I'll report back later.

Break and Return
Howdy Howdy! Well break was dandy. I felt like I could separate myself from everything in Provo, both my educational pursuits and otherwise. HAHA I am watching the National Championship game right now, and I keep typing the wrong words (I tried to type economical instead of educational in the line above, I don't have any economic pursuits at all). Couple of things on my mind. So I really don't like Mitt Romney, I haven't conducted a full research of him by any means. He seems very swarmy to me. He switched on abortion, on the you tube debate I thought some of his answers were lame, and the thing that might bother me the most is that during his term as governor, gay marriages were legally issued, the first state to allow gay marriage, there are now two, and nine recognize marriages performed in Iowa and Massachusetts. Now Governor Romney spoke out against the form in which the ruling was brought down(a one vote majority descision by the Massachusetts highest court), however he spoke against gay marriage too late. In my opinion, he could have tried to prevent the issue from coming to the surface. In California, proposition 22 was passed reaffirming marriage as being between a man and a woman. Granted Massachusetts is a predominatly liberal state, who knows if the bill would have passed, California, another largely liberal state passed such a measure. I guess the bottom line is that I just don't think that I could vote for him, despite his religious affiliation. I have a hard problem with politics at this point in my life. I find it much easier to not vote at all, then to either a)vote for a large party candidate that I don't completely agree with, b) vote for an unorthodox candidate that I feel is closer to what I want but won't win, or c) what I did the last election I voted in, the California Governor recall, voted for someone I thought would be funny to have in office and that someone was Gary Coleman, who you should wikipedia right now if you don't know who he is. How do you get motivated to vote? How do you compromise your beliefs, by sometimes voting for someone whose stances are completely contrary to some of your own? I am by no means set on my political views if you could even call them that, and would enjoy feedback.
I was thinking about some things over break. I came up with the number one thing I don't want to ever have happen, get divorced late in life. So over break I had to split a lot of time with mom and dad, it wasn't that bad just pretty much doubled the time committments while I was at home, no big deal didn't really bother me at all. What did was how tough it has got to be for both my parents. My dad has a girlfriend it is kind of weird, his girlfriend has two kids that are 12 and 10 if I'm not mistaken, my mom still hasn't gone on a date. Either way it's weird, whether it is starting a new relationship late or being alone. I don't know who's life I would pick. I was wondering to, if you were say 50 and found yourself in a relationship that you weren't fulfilled in, would you stick it out our would you get a divorce that late in life... hmm
I am going to take marriage prep should be fun my firstday was good. Battery dying Night!

Two posts in two days? What the deal...
Well I actually had something happen that I think I need to think about. Funny, because as soon as it happened, I thought wow if I blogged about it, I think I could compile my thoughts better. Keep in my mind that although this may help me compile my thoughts, you're kind of witnessing the messy brainstorming.
So Sunday I went hometeaching, and the girl I was interested in (who lives in the same apartment as the girls I home teach) is sitting there with what really seems to be a boyfriend. Not wanting to judge, I just kind of let it be. Monday I found a note on my door from the same girl. HAHA kind of my first Dear John, anyways she apologized for having me found out of her boyfriend like that, and then said some nice things, and asked to be friends and that she wanted to build trust again. It is hard to explain what I felt after reading the note. I definelty wasn't angry. I was a little down but not sad. I felt a little like I had missed an opportunity, but it wasn't a goodbye for ever. Just kind of like saying good bye to someone before summer... like it could come back. Now I have been thinking, and is this what I should have felt? Should I feel angry? Should I feel sad? If there has been a theme to my life this last little while it seems to be dealing with trials. I can look back over my life and identify some pretty rotten things to deal with if I wanted to. Divorce, seriousness medical problems, not attaining goals, failing in some areas... but with trials I don't really get mad, angry, or sad.
I remember on my mission, having companions that I felt didn't didn't have balance emotionally. I felt like I had it on both sides of the emotional spectrum, ones where they were so happy that appeared to be fake, and ones so negative that it seemed to carry no light with them. I don't think either of them had the correct outlook. What I fear now is have I become the overly happy one?
No.
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that my outlook on life is a product of the emotional growth, and what I think a healthy state of how I feel towards the world. I had a friend that told me once (paraphrased), "I feel unfulfilled with my life to this point, but at the same time, I don't know if there is anything that I did that I would change or do differently." This was on my mind this morning. What would I change about my life today, if I were looking back on it from the future. I came up with a few things.
1. Being more open with my feelings towards life and others.
It still makes me laugh at myself, that a blog can help me acheive this goal. I just don't write my thoughts down very often. However, I think sharing my feelings is essential towards communicating better, which is really I guess what this goal ultimately is. The past year's realtionship possibilties is really weird. I haven't had a girlfriend all year, which is the first time I can say that for a long time (Mission time mostly exluded... hehehe). I can think of several girls who expressed interest in me, and I ignored it. I can also consequently think of girls that I have had interest in and haven't felt it returned, or at least recognize it. Looking back I have both expected too much, too early in realationships, as well as discarded relationships prematurely that had potential looking back. A common error in all these was not communicating my feelings well enough. This is going to be a New Year's resolution type thing for me COMMUNICATE BETTER!!
2. Exercise Chubs!
So, I have never exercised so little over a period of time in my life!! I'm lucky not to way 432 pounds! I am asking for a gym membership for christmas and will buy one if I don't get one. I didn't exercise in the beginning of the semester because of my eye, but later on just didn't play sports as much. I'll be stronger than an ox on Human Growth Hormone in no time!
3. Say one swear word a day
And by swear I mean Compliment someone. I think that I do a good job in recognizing people's good traits, but no reason not to get better eh?
So thats the thought portion of my blog.... sorry for the discontinuity.
Today I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and lied in bed for another 45 minutes. I got up and messed around for awhile, then got to campus at 6:30! If you know me at all you know thats as weird as me writing in a blog. So I had always wanted to get one of those omlettes (sp?) from scoreboard grill, but had never been on campus anywhere near the time slotted for breakfast. With this on my mind I headed directly to the cougareat. I was the first one in the entire cougareat! Noone was even open yet. As I waited in front of the vacant Scoreboard Grill, I felt like a groupie of some huge rock band, or maybe like going to a premiere for a movie.... the tension was as thick as one of the Texas Toasts, I was about to consume. So anywho, the meal was poor, but I enjoyed the adventure of it all. So today I am going to take two finals! Count them, TWO! I'll post my results on here so I feel more accountable during my study time. You rip into me if I underacheive.
I may be a fantasy basketball diety.
Oh p.s. I got a date tonight, maybe I can try out my new found communication... now that I think about it, I guess I just stated a problem not really how I was going to solve it... DERG you COMMUNICATION!!!
Mood: Happy as the Carebear with a rainbow on its belly.
..call me ... Happy belly.

With this on my mind I headed directly to the cougareat. I was the first one in the entire cougareat! Noone was even open yet. As I waited in front of the vacant Scoreboard Grill, I felt like a groupie of some huge rock band, or maybe like going to a premiere for a movie.... the tension was as thick as one of the Texas Toasts, I was about to consume. So anywho, the meal was poor, but I enjoyed the adventure of it all. So today I am going to take two finals! Count them, TWO! I'll post my results on here so I feel more accountable during my study time. You rip into me if I underacheive.
I may be a fantasy basketball diety.
Oh p.s. I got a date tonight, maybe I can try out my new found communication... now that I think about it, I guess I just stated a problem not really how I was going to solve it... DERG you COMMUNICATION!!!
Mood: Happy as the Carebear with a rainbow on its belly.
..call me ... Happy belly.
