A Small Tribute To My Brother Taylor

Hey... it's me

"The guy who haven't posted anything since May?"
".......Yep, that's me.."

haha, so yeah I haven't blog for a good while now, I just lost the motivation with writing, I even stopped making memes

but I'm back, so you just have to put up with me again :)

Since I have been inactive with writing, a couple of friends even asked me when I was going to write another post. One of them being my friend Levi "Shout out to Levi" as he calls it when I mention him in my blog haha. He probably just wanted to have another shout out.. ha jk

 So for this post, I wanted to make it into a "tribute" of sorts to my brother Taylor.


He comes back from his mission in the Dominican Republic March 1st

 October 2013 me and some friends went to Utah for 4-5 days for General Conference weekend, during that time my brother made a Facebook status of " So my older brother has been in Utah since Thursday and not having him at home reminds me that we're growing up and that I'm not always going to have him around :("

Psshh, I left for a couple of days than he just leaves for two years. haah.

We get along pretty good, there has been sometimes when we didn't, one of those times

We were in our beds talking, I mentioned how another "friend" of mine has stopped talking to me, I was trying to express to him about having Aspergers and how difficult it has been for friendships and so on. at this point in time I haven't told anyone how much it actually did hurt and the struggle from it. he said how he has had friends stop talking to him, said how it's normal etc. but than I simply just said "Well at least you had other friends to talk to" I got pretty emotional saying that and that was the end of the conversation. It was pretty much a "Drop the mic" moment, haha jk.

He left  March 11th 2015, and a couple days before he left I wrote this blog post I had him read it, he didn't really said much while reading it, but you know those sounds people make when they're reading something and get emotional?, the "gulping" sound, he made a couple of those.

My family are pretty introverted and don't share our feelings with each other a lot. so that's why he didn't really said much. a couple months into his mission I asked what he thought of the blog post, he said "I liked it. I got to see your point of view for a lot of things and some of your experiences that I didn't know before"

When Frozen was a new movie, we went on a taco bell run while blasting the frozen soundtrack and singing the songs together, we would go get some taco bell at times to watch our shows on Netflix.
How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and some others

Us watching some show, I didn't know he took this until it was on Facebook ha
One night we were watching Supernatural from the tv, not computer this time, it got to a pretty creepy part and the fireplace blasted on. the fireplace downstairs turns on really loud, so that scared both of us, ha good times.

I would teach a class at church during Sunday School, one of the lessons that I just happened to be given was on the law of chastity (No sex until marriage etc) one time we were watching How I Met Your Mother and there was a scene (It was just implied, didn't show anything of course ha) then I just said "They should of been in my law of chastity lesson" he just did a face palm, I used that line a couple more times haha...

When the hashtags became really popular, me and Taylor weren't really fans of it, but to annoy him I would use hashtag in front of every word I said to him. he would do it in return, had some good times with that

Last year I was in a talent show and I did some of my poetry, one about the Atonement and the other was a spoken word  plus cracked some jokes. Video>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmRYzGuVwlk

I sent my brother the video and he was lucky enough to actually watch it, but he said 

"That's why I brought these" B-) hahahahaha! That was pretty slick... That was good stuff! hehehe I've learned a whole bunch about the atonement and the gospel in general. And omfreak. That spoken word poem you did was amazing... Like I'm being completely serious. That was really, really good. And you performed it so well. Wow. That was really great. 

Hey, thanks for that video. That really touched me today. You're awesome, you know that? We defs need to go on a bunch of adventures when I get back home. But only on one condition... You have to get me cups of water whenever I want ;P hehehe jk :P 

I probably didn't say this enough back at home, but you're awesome :) I probably am closest with you out of the rest of our brothers/sisters. And we've had some pretty rockin' times :) We have to go on some Bro adventures when I get back :D Love ya, man!"

We would go to this one restaurant  multiple of times, we went there a couple days before he was going to leave and he referred it to "The Last Supper" was pretty funny. 



6 years ago me and Taylor were told to go outside and stop watching tv when our mom went somewhere. she probably didn't expect us to make Carl the snowman, who was 8ft tall.


So yeah, I'm pretty excited to see him in a couple more months, one adventure we're wanting to do is go to General Conference in April. ROAD TRIP haha.

To sums things up, I'm pretty much like Josh in our broship
