Where in the world

Is Wyatt San Diego? Ha, if you aren't older than me, you probably won't get that. Anyway, I am going to get called to serve Him somewhere in the world. And honestly, I have no idea where I will be going.  But because everyone (and I mean everyone) has asked me where I want to go (or where I think I'll go), I am going to write a list of a few places that get my mind racing.

Ireland. Really, I love the Irish culture. Plus, my a favorite movie of mine, War of the Buttons, takes place there. And that is also combined with Scotland. I wish I was one of those cultures 89% of the time.

China. Seriously, wouldn't it be cool if I was the very first missionary called to mainland China? I mean seriously, someone has to be the first. It would just kill me.

Russia. Because I talk Russian accent good. I guess that would be a bad situation.

Norway. Because, I mean really. Someone who wouldn't like that wouldn't like the Celestial Kingdom.

Ghana. Africa rocks. Plus, Cameron Tribe is there and going on a mission with him would rock.

Armenia. Really, it would be great.

Poland. Because Bean is from there.

Iceland. Sigur Ros.

England. It'd be awesome.

New York City. Because I love the temple there.

Chicago. Because I am the sausage king there. Actually not there because I would be too tempted to fake sick and reenact Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

North Dakota. Because apparently that's a boring place? I would rock it.

I would prefer to go foreign and not to Canada because my father would basically live with me if I did.


I am going to be going on a mission, but I really don't care too much where. I would like to hear your guesses. Based on my personality, my abilities, and your intuition. Where do you think Wyatt Russell Duclos, psychic detective Avatar Browncoat CONTROL agent Hobbit Sausage King of Chicago time-traveling skateboarder Jedi Master Clark Kent Dragon Warrior superhero pretty cool guy, will go on his mission?

Also, it's a little ridiculous that I am basing where I want to go off of popular culture, for the most part.

Things I never did/was

Tomorrow is the end. Not really, but if it was, I have a pretty embarrassing list of non-complishments. Here it is:

• Never even kissed a girl. Not even close.
• Never was an adult.
• Never owned a car.
• Never read the entire Bible (almost there, though).
• Never wrote a book and/or movie.
• Never had a relationship with a girl.
• Never read Foundation.
• Never been out of a North American country.
• Never went on a mission.
• Never got my endowments.
• Never became an elder.
• Never been a president of anything.
• Never been married.
• Never went to college.
• Never ate a steak burger in Utah.
• Never had my concealed carry permit.
• Never did all of my laundry.
• Never worn a suit tailored for me.
• Never recreated any of my favorite scenes from my favorite movies.
• Never gone skydiving.
• Never seen The Hobbit.
• Never seen Life of Pi.
• Never expressed how much people really mean to me.

So that is my list. Pretty depressing. Good thing I'm working on it. Also good thing the world is still going to be happening for longer than the next 24 hours and one minute.

I don't like stuff like this

Typically I don't like posting stuff like this (or reading posts like this), but this song is really easy to relate to for me.



Ha. I am such a dork. I did the numbers last night; I am 0 for 25 of significant crushes that amounted to anything. I am so glad I get to go on a mission and forget all this girl stuff.

I just don't know what to do

I hate this guy. I really have never seen one thing I like about him. I want to not hate him, but I can't. I can't find one thing I like. I don't know what to do. Advice?

Reasons I fear I am part robot (and things that make me know I'm not)

I realized I could be a robot. I know I'm not, but just because of pop-culture "facts." Tell me what you think.

• I just can't do the RECAPTCHA things. You know, the pictures that makes sure you aren't a robot? I can't do that.
• Sometimes magnets will still to me. I don't know why.
• I just understand computers. It's almost like I understand their language.
• I am good at math. Like a robot.
• I look like him (kind of).
• I can hear songs on the radio in my head.
• I have a USB connector in my ear (just kidding. It's a firewire cable).

The thing is, the only reason I don't think I am a robot is because I cry. But cyborgs can cry, right? Oh well.

Successful holidays (so far)

I'm picky when it comes to music. I am pretty easy going, but there are certain standards that I feel everyone should follow, like listening to country music only on February 30 or destroying any trace of the Monster Mash. One thing that a lot of people don't seem to agree with me about and that is waiting until after Thanksgiving to celebrate Christmas. I just say one holiday at a time (and if feel the urge to change my opinion on the subject, I will feel the urge to delete your comment(s)).

This holiday season has been really great. Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I have hardly had to deal with the Christmas problem. I am really happy because I completely avoided the Monster Mash this Halloween, so I am shooting for a perfect season. And I have been successful so far. So please, just wait until Black African American Friday (that was close).

Oh, and:

Just so y'all know

I am a catch. Let us be realistic in this scenario. I am all around a great guy.




So that's why all the girls like me (that bit was sarcastic (and also ironic, because one would assume that because I am so great, they would like me (which is also why I made sure you knew I was being sarcastic (which was definitely a necessity)))).

I guess I am an idiot

My mouth kept moving and my brain is just thinking, "Who told you to say that?!" Sometimes I just hate my action-first style. It really shows how dumb I am.

Now my blog is trying to make you think I am crazy

I swear the count was way down yesterday. I promise.

I am ALWAYS right

I am always right. I have always had my opinion when it comes to just about everything. And often people say I am not right. And often I admit that I probably am. But I am always right. I am not saying this to brag or to impress or even tell you to listen to me, but I am awesome because I am so impressively right, so you should always listen to me. Haha. I am a crack up. Sorry. Anyway, seriously, I am correct in every way. Just know, it sucks. Also, because I am always right: I will become a rich author and film director, I will marry the most perfect girl and I will eventually use a jetpack.

Tactics

I have always had a tactic when it comes to the girl I like. I never go in unaware of exactly how I act. And you know what? I sucked at every mark I tried. I have been working one mark for almost two years now and I just realized that I give up. I cannot succeed if I am trying. I mean, really. Two years. That is a long time without someone even giving you a backwards glance. I know this sounds dumb and frankly a little melodramatic, but I do not care. Because try as I might, my tactics have never succeeded. Believe it or not, I have seen one guy pull off the "nice guy" approach and a million guys get more results trying less in a year than I would in a single text message.
I do not quit often, but I also don't act senselessly. The worst part is that I don't even really want a girl to like me. I just want to be successful at being the type of guy a girl would like. Do you know what I realized? I suck at just that. Two years of cold, hard data backs me up that even when I am doing the best job possible, I can't even get the status of runner up.

I have this thing. It's called a Y chromosome.

First thing that shows up that doesn't have to do with me when you google image search, "Wyatt Duclos."

The Liebster Blog Award is given to up(and)coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. The meaning: Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. 

Do Germans only have like three words? Seriously, we have twelve different words for just their one. I crossed out the ones that don't apply to me. Also, I edited the incorrect use of a semicolon and added the parenthesis-ed part.

On the note that this seems kind of girly

Ummmmmm...I don't think it's just for girls. I hope not, anyway. Kirsten and Eryn (And Jessie, also (and apparently Emilee was going to tag me?)) tagged me, sooooooooooo here we go.

One Must:

1. Write eleven facts about themselves.

2. Answer the questions the 'tagger' has set for you.  3. Provide eleven new questions for the people you tag.

4. Choose up to eleven people and link them in your post. 5. Inform the 'tagged' of this prestigious award.

11 Facts:

1. I have a Y chromosome. Fact.

2. I argue on Facebook. Actually arguing implies that the other person has a chance to win the conversation. I destroy people textually. I am a bully.

3. I have never kissed a girl. Not saying I haven't tried, just that I never have.

4. There is only one girl really that I want to kiss right now. And she most definitely doesn't want to kiss me. Fact.

5. The tan line on my legs imply that I wear immodest shorts. That isn't good, because I am a guy and short-shorts weren't made for  Y chromosomers. 

6. I hate how random I am.

7. I am a super hero with the power of climbing trees unlike any other.

8. I am an Apple fanboy.

Hot air balloon all the way. Then I would parachute out and live in the jungle like Tarzan. Seriously, I just want to live in the mountains or in a jungle for a few months.

China or Africa. China comes in second though because they are communists.

3. Emma Watson

4. Emma Stone

5. Barbara Feldon (back in 1960)

Emilee

1. What is your father's best quality?

He can work

2. Best thing you ever ate?

A freeze-dried bag of beef stroganoff. I am sure it is definitely not that great, but as I indulged in this simple meal at the age of fourteen after 12 miles of hiking in the rain, it was literally the most delicious meal I could ever ask for.

3. What is your favorite scent?

I tend to lean on the motor vehicle department on this one. I love the smell of gasoline (or petrol for you Brits) and I also love the smell of burning rubber. I do not love all automotive smells, however. I detest the smell of auto coolant. So much do I loath it.

4. Favorite summertime memory?

A few weeks ago I spent a day hiking and going to the rodeo with some of the best friends I could ask for. We frolicked in the meadows in the mountains and there was no doubt in my mind that I did not love every second of it. Plus, my date was perfect.

5. Tell me about the scariest thing you ever encountered.

That is not a question, but I will relay the scariest moment of my life. I can be very indecisive, mostly because I don't want to get hurt by making the wrong choice. A few months ago I told the girl of my dreams how I really felt about her and it was scarier than almost falling to my death then being lost in the cave I was in. Hands down. I was afraid of a girl. Ha.

6. What is the best book you've ever read?

The real answer would be the standard works, but I bet you guys don't want that answer. I once read a book that changed everything I did and it wasn't scripture. The novel was To Kill a Mockingbird. The book so many hate (I cannot imagine why) is one of the first books I would live by if I didn't have the gospel. So in answering your question, that one.

7. What is the best compliment you've ever received?

I don't receive compliments often, but when I do they usually are vague things like, "You'll be a great (author/father/missionary) someday!" I know it is stupid of me, but I don't really count those because you can say that to anyone (unless they are a girl and you are going with the father one). I was once told by someone that whenever he is about to see a video I made, he gets a little doubtful about how well made it will be. Then, every time he is blown away by how great it is. That was pretty the best.

8. Favorite color of socks?

White. I am sockially biased against any other color.

9. What do you want to be when you grow up//dream profession?

I really want to be an author that eventually makes his way into the film industry. I really would like to be the director/writer/producer for a film based on a novel that I wrote. I am kind of a control freak.

10. Best class you've ever had. Why?

Ninth grade English with Mr. Kirk Dalton. That class changed my life in ways that I can never express. I can say now that Mr. Dalton created inside of me a love for the English language unrivaled by most. I would go so far as to say that I would marry the language if that were practical.

11. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I would go to that one girl's house and, using the magic that could've transported me anywhere, express my undying love for her with words so beautiful she will be unable to not love me back. I would tell her that every day she is my constant thought. I would tell her that more than anything else I would just want to spend time with her, because she makes my dreams come true. I would do all that and more because the magical transportation would not be used up at all because she just lives in Lindon. I would be the best thing possible.

That or China.
