5 Reasons the jazz will be good.

So the jazz started the season great. went undefeated in the preseason(8 games) went undefeated on a road trip against good teams. So they were really good until they went on another road trip and were winless. and the jazz ended up not making the playoffs so 5 reasons:

1.rookies the jazz have 3 rookies 2 are really good. but derrick favors still has to develop(he's only 19). so they will improve in the offseason.

2.The jazz have three FIRST round draft picks. If they pick wisely we can improve amazingly

3. Trades. The jazz have too many people and need to get rid of some ( memo okur, fez, raja bell. but we need to include our draft picks in trading.

4. Injuries. the Jazz currently have 6 injured players . that's alot so they will heal during the summer.

5.Coach Tyrone Corbin. name me another coach who started in the middle of the season and turned out successful you can't. It takes time for a new coach to change the direction of the team. A new coach is a big deal.

My favorite game this year was when they beat the Lakers in Los Angeles (something they haven't  done in 5 years) nobody expected it. a team that wasn't going to the playoffs with their rookie coach. and Gordon Hayward(a rookie) outplayed Kobe Bryant


This is My second favorite moment when Paul millsap( a BIG forward) scored three 3's in a row to bring the jazz into overtime and the win against Miami(a team who has three all-stars.)

laser pens!

best picture I could find

While I was writing this I realized  that they are called laser pointers. But I'm going to call them laser pens. If some one ever tells you to hold one of these be carefull because you never know if it's one of those things that will shock you.


I'm sure you have seen these. The reason I am discussing this is because I was recently at a ward activity and some little kid was shining his laser pen everywhere and everybody saw it and it bugged the crap out of me. I'm sure you've probably seen these at the theater when some annoying little kid is shining it on the screen.


But once I was the one with it. My friend had about 4 of them and so some of my friends went outside late at night and started to shine them in through the window of the room My brother was in reading a book. Then we went in the house hid behind stuff  and continued shining them on him and he never ever found out who it was.

it was the funniest thing ever so laser pens are so annoying especially when little kids have them.

home repairs

Home repairs are so stressful because you have to do stuff by hand(Yeah were lazy) so here are all the thing that have broken recently.

Hot water- Recently the hot water in My kitchen sink broke so you would have to climb under the sink and turn the valve if you wanted to use hot water to wash the dishes. And the water would be running full blast the whole time you were doing the dishes. We had to do this for about a month and a half

Dishwasher- our dishwasher broke about... well just along time ago. so we had to do them by hand( this is the same time as our hot water). We finally got a used one from someone in the neighborhood. only to find out that it was dripping water when it was on. So last Thursday My mom got a new(used) one from a friend of hers. that's now in our garage waiting to be putt in. So Now I have three dishwashers in My house... two are broken.

Laundry dryer- I'm not sure how long these are supposed to last but We've been through about three of them in about ten years but the washer has been fine. i guess we should get new appliances next time

Oven- the top oven at my house broke several years ago for about a year so we had to use th bottom oven . But My grandparent's top oven was a little hotter than their bottom so their family bought a new one for them and we got theirs so now our top oven is hotter than normal but is better than nothing.

I've also had about four toasters three blenders three girdles(pancake grill) but our refrigerators and freezers have been fine

I guess we should be grateful for the stuff we have right now and not take it for granted.

comment if your dishwasher has ever broken.

Cookies

sorry about the horrible picture of My kitchen

So On saturday I made some cookies without a recipe yep WITHOUT A RECIPE! that's pretty crazy and they was the best. So below is what I put in:
2 cubes of butter.
2 cups of brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
Mix that together
then I'm not sure what it was but I think it was 1/2 tsp baking soda              

a little bit of salt                                                                                            

a bag of choco chips
and a few cups of flour( till the texture is right.)
so if you want some just feel free to bring me chocolate chips and I will make you some
comment if they look good          .
