It has been 3 and a half years since my little brother Preston Francis and I have seen each other. In two weeks the man will be home from his LDS mission in Sweden. I'm proud of the boy. The craziest part of the whole situation is that he hasn't even met my fiance Candace yet. This post will be a montage of this glorious man's life. Enjoy.
There was this one time that Candace and I were driving in Pleasant Grove. I noticed out of the corner of my eye something queer. I stopped my car in the middle of the road, immediately put it in reverse, and backed up until I saw something similar to this.
Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. We saw a large, male, billy goat standing on a barn. We laughed for at least thirty seconds and drove away. The goat escaped my memory until just now. This really happened.
There I was, standing on the sideline of Utah State University's spring football practice. My assignment for the day was to film some highlights. I was having a wonderful time when things turned ugly in an instant.
Most people tend to run away when they sense that something is about to collide with them. Not me. I stood my ground as the cornerback, safety, and wide receiver came at me at full speed. The truth of the story is because I was so concentrated on my camera, I had no idea what was going on. If you notice in the film everyone around me backs up. I don't move a muscle as they come flying into my unsuspecting body. The amazing part of this was that I protected the camera as I came tumbling to the ground. I'll let the video do the talking however. Enjoy me hitting the turf from three different angles!
I must tell this story second hand, for I was not there to experience the gloriousness of this moment where time stood still . I will forever regret not being there to witness this event of extreme eating. I have a friend named James. He is larger than the average human. I have heard legends of what Jamesy has been able to eat. At eight years old he was able to consume a Big Judd's one pound burger.... At eight! His picture still hangs on the wall as the youngest challenger ever to eat this burger. When sensuous sandwich challenged him with 24 inches of sandwich he ate it in four minutes, decided it was weak, and ate 48 inches of sandwich! The man has competed in the Nathan's hotdog eating contest in Vegas. He is truly one of my heroes. One challenge was just too much for James though.
Never has an amount of food defeated my good buddy. I'm sure you could feed him an entire fatted pig and he would enjoy every bite. No, what defeated James this day was a little bite of sushi. The story goes that a gaggle of my friends were out eating some delicious Asian gourmet, and things got a little bit interesting. James was dared to eat probably a tablespoon size ball of wasabi on a piece of sushi. When that green ball of burning hell hit James' mouth he was brought to tears. That wasn't all that happened to my good friend. He got a nose bleed! James will sweat peeling an orange, so you can imagine the beads of sweat that had coagulated on his brow. I can only imagine what a painful experience this must have been for him. On this day wasabi was David of old, and James was the giant. No one expected him to get a bleeding nose. I can only say that I wish I could have been there. On a side note I really don't enjoy sushi, it is really overpriced.
