I apologize for the lack of blog posts. This trip has just drained me both mentally and physically so I will post one at the end to make up for all of the days I have missed.
Stay tuned.

St. George.. Spring Break.... Day 1.
We have officially started our spring break.. My friends Jake, Parker, Clay, Brad, Ryan, and I had decided to travel down to St. George and Vegas for the week. And just for you readers out there, I am writing a post for every single day of the trip so keep your eyes open..
It was quite an eventful day one of our spring break. The day consisted of the following:
-Woke up, went to church with my close friend Parker Debenham.
-Met up with the group at Brad Beck's house where we enjoyed a nice, warm, home-cooked meal by the infamous Kay Beck... Wonderful woman.
-Hit the road with Brad and Parker for one of the most fun road trips i've ever been on. Perfect music, perfect scenery, perfect everything.
-Pulled into St. George to meet up with Jake Davies, another great personal friend, and headed to the condo.
-Got settled, went swimming, hot tubbing, and streaking through a golf course.
-To end the night, we caught frogs in a pond right by the condo entrance. We named it Kerman.
Overall, the trip has been a success and there will be more to come. Sorry there are no pictures but I will be sure to put some up tomorrow.
Goodnight all!

Can't wait for college.
Do you ever wake up and wonder if you will do a research project for someone else trying to get their masters degree? Yea I didn't think I would either, but yes. i did.
Yep. That picture pretty much sums up my day right there.
My mom is in the process of trying to attain her Master's degree in music from BYU. She has spent countless hours both at home and down at the BYU library gathering different sources and annotating (summarizing) the sources that she finds.
Her assignment was this... Find 100 sources.. yes, I said 100. Organize them, alphabatize them, and give a one paragraph summary for each source. After all of that, proofread it so there is no errors or mistakes.
The reason I tell you this is because I did this whole assignment myself, for her. She had asked me to help her type a little bit to relieve some stress that she had already been overwhelmed with before all the typing occured. So as soon as she gave me the list to type, i quickly realized that this wouldn't be a "quick type job".
I started typing after church at about 12:30 p.m. and ended up finishing just a few minutes ago at 12:30 a.m.
Yes. I spent half of a day typing a research paper that I won't even get credit for.. The only recognition I got was a few "thank you sweetie" 's from my mom. But that just goes to show you the dedication one must have to get a masters degree.
College. Bring it on.
I just wanted to personally thank my wonderful mother for giving me this amazing opportunity to type for her and get her a passing grade.
Love you too mom.
oh p.s. - She just told me that there will be another assignment that she'll need help with tomorrow.. FML.
I'm going to bed.
Loves.

Zotes
Zotes Sunflower Seeds.
The most witty, cruel, yet amazingly creative and unique sunflower seed company on the market today.
They take a whole different approach to marketing and building their brand image.. They target a whole different crowd and are comparatively "cool" in comparison to the boring "David and Spitz".
They offer different flavors that include, Beer Baked, Salt & Pepper, Garlic Roast, Jamaican Jerk.. the list goes on and on.
The reason I write this post and acknowledge Zotes is because my uncle Jason founded the company some years ago and it has really helped motivate me to look into studying business and creating a company of my own someday. I have enjoyed watching this business grow and you will see what I mean when I say it is a whole different company that takes their marketing to a whole other level.
Take a gander at this amazing company and I promise you will not be sorry if you end up purchasing some of the seeds.. They are truly incredible.
Here's to you Zotes, and all the people you have helped in making their lives more positive and upbeat!
Follow Zotes.....
My best friend
This post is dedicated to my best friend. Kayla Paige Hintze.
This girl has made my life so happy and exciting. She is beautiful, sensitive, caring, smart, and I am so lucky to have had her in my life for as long as I have. I am truly grateful for all that she has done for me and for all the memories that we have shared and all that are to come :)
I don't know what I would do without her, I could not live a normal life.She has influenced me and has shaped me into the person I am today. For all that we have been through, good or bad, I just wanted to express my feelings for her and the appreciation I have for all that she is and does. She means so much to me.
I love you kayla...

Difficulties...
Well as I was in the process of posting my playlist, it appeared that the link was broken. So unfortunately, you will all have to wait until tomorrow................. I know. It's a tragedy.
Should be up tomorrow.
Goodnight all
Innocent thoughts of day 2.
Hello again,
I am glad to be back writing on this! I decided to post a list of my hobbies, interests, just things that make me happy to be alive...
Here it is.
1. The first thing that comes to mind is music... House music in particular. It's a passion and it plays a huge role in my life, takes my mind off almost everything and I know it bugs almost everyone around me but that doesn't phase me. I also love all other types, Phoenix, MGMT, Hawthorne Heights, Mumford & Sons, that stuff. It's all good. I will be posting a playlist of all my favorite songs and artists by the end of tonight so stay tuned.
2. Business. It fascinates me to study up and stay on top of what is happening economically. I am constantly researching who's on top, what different marketing techniques different companies are using, etc.. It really is fascinating. I am enrolled at the Canyons Technical Education Center in the Information Technology/Management Training Program and I have just two words to describe it. Life Changing. It has taught me basic principles that has transformed me from a "high school student" to a professional, empowered individual and I couldn't be more happy and grateful that I am a part of it.
3. Lacrosse. Lax. Whatever you want to call it, it is amazing. I have been involved with the sport for about 5 years now and I have loved every second of it. I plan on playing in college for the University of Arizona if everything works out... Pictures will be posted.
I know those are just 3 things that most people could care less about, but it literally has shaped me into the person I am today.. My life revolves around that and there will be more that I will mention in the near future..
Oh. And just a word of advice, never write a blog post when you're in a hurry. If I weren't in such a rush I would be including a lot more right now, but for now that is all I have.
More to come, stay tuned.

Welcoming myself...
Yes.
This is a blog.
By me.
Jordan Fry...
To be quite honest, i never thought of this day coming. I've never been real huge into the "social" nature of the internet. Sure, I have a Facebook account that i check regularly but only to stay connected with my friends, like most everyone.
But here I am typing away, rambling off on an incoherent topic that almost appeals to no living person. The purpose of this post is essentially for myself to get a feel for what blogging is all about, and already i'm starting to enjoy it, so if you are thinking of following or whatever it is you do on this, be prepared for a lot of posts.. (i hope).
I'll keep this blog short and sweet by just introducing myself. I have a very witty personality. I tend to be very blunt, honest and selfish on occasion. But I do have a great sense of humor, but a very different sense of humor that only my friends can relate to. I enjoy many things that I will post at a later time. I have great friends and a great life. I am grateful for most everything in my life.
That's all for now. Check back for further updates concerning my views on how life goes on around me and my thoughts on the ever changing world.
Bye for now,
Jordan
