Just the basics :)

True Blue

None of us had ever been to the traditional True Blue night on Homecoming Week. We showed up to the Helaman Fields to find huge pools of blue foam all over the grass. On the hill there was a large tarp slide and a huge line of students. Some whose clothes were still clean, and others who were already dyed blue. We wondered if it was worth it. Our decision? ...ahhh yeah!

 

Homecoming 2008

Jen and I got asked to Homecoming by two of our friends that live in our same complex. Paul asked Jen by inviting her over for a movie and had the question written in glow in the dark ink on the wall. Reed covered the back end of my car in balloons that had puzzle pieces inside of them. The night came...Jen and I rushed around to get ready...and still needed a few extra minutes when the boys came to get us. We went out to dinner and then to the dance, "Enchanted" that was held at Thanksgiving Point.

Fall Date Ideas!!!!

 

Lets face it, summer is over and us guys need some date ideas! Girls we're sorry that the last few weekend dates have been lame. We're trying, we really are. The fall season took us by surprise and we simply weren't ready. Having conquered Provo I feel like I have a few fun date ideas up my sleeve.

Reader Submission: Stewart Falls

Submitted by Eric Petersen:

I just had an interesting time at a place here in Provo called Stewart Falls.* I went there with a blind date hooked up by my good friends. I recommend the location to everyone. The hike is an easy two-mile in-out hike with some impressive views of the Provo Canyon and the back side of Mount Timpanogos. Unfortunately, we missed the mesmerizing fall leaves by a week, but it was still a fun hike and the peaceful nature of the area was tranquilizing. I am definitely going back for future events with friends or future dates.

Jazzy Fire

 What better way is there to warm up in the cold weather than with a bon fire? Yeah it’s getting cold, but that doesn’t mean that dates are confined to the indoors. Last weekend my friends and I put together a pretty fun date. It was quick, cheap, easy and fun.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas: Food

There are 15 days ‘til Christmas, and as people far and wide are counting down the days with advent calendars galore, Dater’s Block is presenting a series of articles containing fun ideas for wintertime dates!  We hope you enjoy reading and participating!  The first three “Dates of Christmas” all have to do with one of the most beloved aspects of Christmas—food. 

"On the first date of Christmas my true love gave to me:"

1.       Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…

This popular tradition of bygone days isn’t as common as it used to be, but people around the world still roast chestnuts the old-fashioned way.  Roasting chestnuts as part of a date will make you nostalgic for a time you never even knew.  Picture this: You walk inside from the cold, snowy weather to be greeted by a smiling face, Christmas music, and a cozy fire.  What more could make the season bright?  If you have access to an outdoor fire pit, indoor fireplace, or oven/gas electric range, you can follow these directions: http://www.ehow.com/how_4694105_roast-chestnuts-open-fire.html. 

If you don’t have a fireplace, buy some chestnuts, heat up some eggnog, and sit in front of the – yes, I’m being serious—computer. Visit  http://fauxfire.com/ with your speakers turned up to see what I’m talking about.

 

2.       Cookies ‘n Gingerbread

There’s nothing like homemade sugar cookies…except, perhaps, homemade sugar-cookie-frosting!  Bake sugar cookie dough, use fun cookie cutters, and decorate to your heart’s content.  Then, deliver the finished cookies to a mutual friend, caroling and laughing all the way (or, if you have a sweet tooth like mine, devour them all yourselves!).  Feeling especially creative?  Build an architectural masterpiece out of gingerbread.  Better yet, make it a competition – challenge another couple to see which team can build the tallest, most grandiose, or best-tasting gingerbread house!

 

3.       Hot – hot – hot – Hot Chocolate!

 

For all of those guys and gals who aren’t exactly what we’d call gourmet chefs: You can still have a delightful, food-themed Christmas date!  (And an inexpensive one, at that.)  Just drive on down to Denny’s for two orders of “Bottomless Hot Chocolate” at $1.99 a mug.  The refills are free and unlimited, so while you sip that rich, warm goodness you can actually have a conversation and get to know your date.  When Jack Frost is nipping at your nose, nothing warms the body and soul like hot chocolate - and good company!

 

The Twelve Dates of Christmas: Service

Service is always more fun with a date! 

A date is always more fun with service!


On the fourth date of Christmas my true love gave to me… 

4.   An “Angel Tree” toy shopping spree
You can find an angel tree in public places all over town.  Back home, I would see one of them in my local church and at Wal-Mart.  Earlier this month, there was a beautiful tree in the BYU Tanner building dedicated to the children.  I often see couples at the mall shopping for themselves or each other, but wouldn’t it be even more meaningful to shop for a child who you know will appreciate an anonymous gift?  It will be fun for you to shop at the toy stores you always want to go in (go on, admit it!) and together, you and your date can choose the perfect present to brighten someone’s holiday.  These children may not get any gifts this Christmas without your help.

5.   Food bank adventures
Working together for a good cause is a great way to get to know someone!  This holiday season volunteer at a soup kitchen or food bank near you.  For those in the Utah Valley area, the Community Action Services and Food Bank on Freedom Blvd is a great place to start.  For more information on what projects are available and how to get started, visit http://www.communityactionprovo.org/index.php. 
 


image courtesy of community action provo

 

6.   Holiday cheer with care center residents
What do music, games, and good conversation have in common?  They all can be found in serving others on a personal level.  I have fond Christmas memories of singing with my youth group to residents at a care center.  Many residents have family members who don’t visit very often; others never have visitors.  Sing Christmas carols, play games, or simply talk to residents at your local care center.  They will appreciate your kindness in remembering them during a season when they may be especially prone to feelings of loneliness. 



“It is difficult for those who are young to understand the loneliness that comes when life changes from a time of preparation and performance to a time of putting things away. . . We cannot bring them back the morning hours of youth. But we can help them live in the warm glow of a sunset made more beautiful by our thoughtfulness. . . and unfeigned love.” –Richard L. Evans

 

Out and About/Entertainment

OUT AND ABOUT/ENTERTAINMENT

On the seventh date of Christmas my true love gave to me…

7.       Christmas lights, camera, action!     

Go for a Sunday drive or a stroll through town to enjoy the lights and luminaries of the season!  If you live in Utah: Temple Square is a classic date during Christmastime!  The lights there will be up through January 1, 2010.   

 

8.       Watch a Christmas movie

“It’s a Wonderful Life” is one of the most beloved and well known, and I highly recommend it!  But there are many other Christmas movies that are uplifting and entertaining.  My personal favorite?  “The Muppet Christmas Carol.”  Kermit’s depiction of Bob Cratchit is oh-so poignant, so heartwarming!  If you want more movie ideas, visit http://movies.toptenreviews.com/list_christmas.htm.   

 

9.       Sledding in a winter wonderland

Sledding doesn’t just have to be for little kids!  The snow is waiting for you, your date, and your friends.  So grab your disks, toboggans, and tubes and take advantage of it!  It well may be that you just can’t resist throwing that first snowball…let the games begin!

 

10.   Ice skating

In the Provo area, there is the Seven Peaks arena, a venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics.  Or, you could always slip ‘n slide on all the black ice that’s recently come to town…though that might be a more dangerous alternative!   

 

11.   A holiday concert

Several community groups and church congregations host sing-along events of Handel’s Messiah.  Many county orchestras perform at annual winter concerts.  Perhaps there is a Nativity pageant in your area.  These kinds of events are perfect for a date, and they are usually free or very inexpensive.  Enrich your mind and soul with inspiring music—music beckons the Christmas spirit like none other.  

12.   Enjoy Christmas day with your family! 

 

 

 

From your friends at Dater’s Block: Thank you, subscribers!  We wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Another Rehearsed Conversation

I am getting really tired of having the same rehearsed conversation with every person I come in contact. I feel I’m practicing a dialogue and every person I run into is practicing the same one. My conversations with people go something like the following:

Has someone ever told you "Have a good life" because chances of you seeing them ever again were slim to none?

The Kid Is A Romeo

If you thought you were a modern day Romeo think again. You may have thought you had charm, class, and a suave approach to women, but you would lose any woman to this guy. You might be thinking to yourself, have you seen me? I'm fantastic, amazing and women buckle at the knees in my very presence. If that's the case, you haven't met this little Romeo.

Fast And The Furious Tokyo Drift

How could anything good possibly come from crashing in a street race and being forced to choose between sleeping in a jail cell or a 10 square foot shack in Tokyo Japan? They say look on the bright side of life, but what about when life hits you hard in the face?

Daily Dating Tips for Guys and Girls

Daily Dating Tips for Guys and Girls:

M E N :

On a first date with a new girl, the first thing to say to her is "you look beautiful" before you even ask how she is. Keep the compliments flowing throughout your date, such as "Your hair looks nice, I like the color of it," and "Your outfit is great." But don't go overboard. A woman loves to be complimented because it makes her feel sexy, gorgeous and beautiful. She needs to feel you are attracted to her. So it shouldn't sound fake.

 

W O M E N :

Even without direct contact, your hands can send very powerful messages. There are a number of ways to convey that you want to get to know someone. Keeping your hands unclenched shows you're open to him. Using your hands to caress objects, such as the rim of your glass, locks of your hair, or the sleeve of your blouse in a rhythmic (as opposed to fidgety) manner, can be a sensual act. And for the brave, try picking fluff off his jacket, touching him to punctuate a point, or using the "accidental touch" when reaching for the salt.

Hands jammed in pockets, cleaning eyeglasses or balled in tight fists are all bad signs. Finger tapping, drumming, pointing or wagging are also signals to move on.

Find your Cory or Topanga!

When we date we sometimes forget that we should be looking for our best friend! It's not just about the physical aspects, it's about somebody that you can't live without. Like Cory and Topanga, even through the ups and downs, over the years you know that you'll always come back to them.

Paul Harvey, We Wish You GOOD DAY!

Paul Harvey was an institution over the past several years.  I have fond memories of hearing his voice just as it was time to head to the lunch-room...

There are literally hundreds of articles out there--highlighting the life and times of Paul Harvey.  I like this one--because it seemed real, and personal, and yet interestingly positive on a challenging topic.  I do think that there are times--when we find a need to disagree with others.  And I do like the way Mr. Harvey couched it:

"I love you Mr. President, but you're wrong."

What Would You Do?

Two Choices What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

There are some stories which are un-documented in their source.  But, as with generations of humanity's ancestors who may have struggled with the written word, much can be learned and passed on through a meaningful story such as this one.  Read on, and enjoy!

Good Is The Enemy Of GREAT

 

"Greatness is not a function of circumstance.  Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice."  -- (Jim Collins, Good To Great)

 

The Race Of Life

Whatever challenges you are facing in life...and yes, I mean you.  Regardless what they may be--please don't give up.  There is too much at-stake.  You can and will succeed.  The suggestion: measure 'success' a little differently from now on:

The Familiar

Last night I slept at Grandma Jan's house. It doesn't smell of a grandparent's home, as many grandparents' homes do. Instead it's a fresh and inviting space, redone frequently. Always new additions, keeping with the times. But despite the fung-shway(phonetic) and color changes, some crucial aspects of the home remain constan...

The time now gone

4 hours taming a shrew. Well, reading it. Out loud. Alone. In my office. Rock bottom? Yes. I became so accustomed to the absurdity that I not only read aloud, but started talking to myself.

I'm in a wretched mood for no reason at all. And I've spent the last 3 hours getting to the root of this rather pressing issue. My conclusion thus far is as follows: Today was a fabulous day.

The Deception

I'm not big on mornings. Making it on time to that first class is an anomaly, to say the least. And so during the normal routine, when I'm about half way across campus, the bell tower tolls.

Wedding Budget Lifesaver #1: Reality Check
Wedding Traditions 101: Something Old, Something New

A Word On Traditions...

There is an old British ritual called "flinging the stocking". After the couple was married the guests would rush into the couple's bedroom and take their stocking, and the first guest to throw the stocking and hit either the bride or groom on the nose was the next to wed.

Sometimes it's just time for a tradition to be retired. If you don't like a tradition, you don't have to keep it. You've probably seen this video by now: (read more....)

Wedding Conflict Resolution #1: The Role of the Mother

We crack a lot of jokes about girls who start planning their wedding before they're engaged, but everyone knows their moms have been planning for longer. Mommy interference makes for great jokes around the dinner table, but unfortunately, when it's staring you in the face, it's not very funny.

So the question is, is there a legitimate place for the mother to assist? And how can a bride take control without hurting feelings?

The Ultimate Wedding Checklist

Wedding checklists are really nice to have, so I went scouting for one that would be complete enough to get you to your special day without any gaps. To my shock, ALL  the wedding checklists available online were missing really important To-Do items.

So we made our own wedding checklist. It's a complilation of all the best checklists out there, but without any of their omissions. You can download the file from this link:

Checklist_Chronological.xls

The dates are just suggestions. If you are really organized, you can pull a wedding together in 4-6 weeks. The idea is to spread things out so you don't get stuck at the end with too much to do.

Let us know if you notice anything we're missing!

Welcome to TheMarkMathews.7h.com

Hello Everyone.

This website is dedicated to spreading the joy of Mark Mathews around the world.  If you don't know who Mark Mathews is, stop reading and watch the youtube clip that follows.

In the weeks to come you'll see much more Mark Mathews love; from photos, to interviews, to video, and if this gets popular enough, maybe even another documentary.  So, for your enjoyment, Mark Mathews Everybody.

For those of you who are unlucky enough to have youtube blocked, no worries, I got a googlevideo link right here

Now, in the future, you must be subscribed to watch/read future articles. Why? Because I'm doing this for a communications class and my grade depends on subscripions. So, to encourage this a little, I promise 2 things:

1) If I get over 500 subscriptions, I'll make a funnier and longer sequel to that documentary

2) 3 subscribers will be chosen at random to win a Mark Mathews t-shirt (yes, those things are real). Who knows, if there's enough demand maybe they'll come back into production.

Mike,

Although I no longer live in front of him, and do not have a magazine dedicated to him any longer, I am still actively following my responsibilities as Mark Mathew's Public Relations Assistant.  When I got home from my mission within an hour of being released Mark was already at my house talking about plans to get on top...

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that, especially today, I'm thankful for Mark Mathews.  I’m sure most of you are as well.  However, I'm afraid that some of you may not know exactly how awesome Mark Mathews is.  So, thanks to the efforts of Collin Grant, we can give those of you who don’t know Mark to well a taste of what he’s like...

Mark Recon 4

I ran into Mark on campus today.  He has a soft cast on his leg because of a surgery for his bad knee, but this should be the last one he needs. He also had a very interesting story for me...

Songs to Remember

Sometimes years go by before we remember songs that were AWESOME! Don't let anymore time tick by before you remember these great hits. Here are a few of my favorites, some are a major blasts from the past and others are pretty recent.

New songs to LOVE

I heard back from a few of you saying you loved the "old" songs and wanted a "new" version. Here is a list of some newer songs that I CANNNNOT get enough of. Hope you love them too.

Falling for my best friend

I've liked this girl for a while, we’re pretty good friends, but I think I’m starting to fall for her. My friends have been urging me to tell her how I feel about her, but I don’t want her to feel awkward and ruin the friendship we have.

We always go out together, she kinda flirts with me, we text all day, but it's stil...

When should I say no to a date?

This is something I have struggled with ever since I started dating and I still don't have a very good answer for it. When should I say no to a date if I am not interested in someone? Should I really give everyone a chance? And how do I nicely say no when I've decided I'm not interested? I think us girls have some innate sense of compassion ...

Decisions

I have a boyfriend and we’ve been dating for 16 months. I’m totally in love with him and I would really love to marry him. He is graduating this semester but he doesn’t talk to me about any wedding plans, he just says how much he likes me and how much fun he has when we are together. We spend a lot of time together. My big conc...

Being a single girl at BYU

I’ve been attending BYU for 7 semesters now, I always thought this was the place to find your soul mate. The truth is that I never get asked on dates and I’ve found that the only thing that guys care about is that girls are hot and pretend to be spiritual. I realize that I’m not the most attractive woman in the world, but I&rsq...

RM Drama
I got off from my mission 3 months ago and oh my gosh!! Life is hard!!! I’m supposed to go on dates and stuff but it’s really hard. I’ve been going out with this girl, we’ve been on 3 dates and now she texts me a lot and wants to hang out all the time. I do like her, but I’m afraid to ...
All you need is love
Priorities?

I’ve been going out with this guy, he is a really nice guy and we have lots of fun. I think I like him but I don’t see him working in spiritual goals. He is smart and fun, but I’m scared of falling in love with somebody who won’t take spiritual matters seriously. I don’t want to sound judgmental, but it is something...

Christmas "Break"

I’m going home for christmas and I won’t see my girlfriend for at least 2 weeks. I’m really not sure if I want to keep dating her, but she is really excited about it. I just don’t know if I should talk to her before I leave or just find out if I still like her after the break. My concern is that if I don’t like her,...

What do You Want?

What Women Want

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days. As it turns out, this is a very big project to undertake, but it is going great! So these are some thoughts from my readers. I think this are starting out to be a pretty comprehensive list of what women want....but lets not forget the guys...I want your feedback too!! Don’t forget to send my website out to your friends...I need all the help I can get!! I’m a huge advocate of # 6 and 7....Enjoy!

What Men Want

Many of you may have read my last list about the likes and dislikes of women in relationships with men. Since I'm not a man and have a relatively hard time seeing life from their point of view sometimes I decided to give you good places to find what men want and need out of a relationship. I'm expecting to hear back you guys out there letting me know if the content of these websites are true, and all you girls out there if it helps. Thanks for reading, enjoy and don't forget to pass along this website to your friends (since my grade depends on it!)

What Women Talk About

Shoes

I've always known that I seem to talk more than my boyfriend, or any guy I know, but did you know that different studies have shown that women usually say on average about 3 times as many words a day as men? This article from the BBC gives 46 examples of words that men just aren't that likely to say.....in fact, some men might not even know what some of these things are....they are pretty funny so check it out.

Men and Women's Brains
I was shown this video a week ago and loved it! It explains the differences between men and women's brains....including the great mystery of the nothing box!! Let me know what you think and don't forget to send this site to your friends...my grade depends on it! Thanks and enjoy!

The Differences Between Men and Women
I found this article on a website. It happens to be extremely biased (you can tell a women wrote it) but it is very funny all the same. Enjoy!
Physiological Differences Between Men and Women

Haven't you ever wondered what makes men and women's brains so different? This article I found on line gives some very interesting facts on how men and women develop and are therefore fundamentally different. Enjoy!

What are the 78 differences between women and men?

I found this article from the BBC website. Apparently there are 78 genes in the human body that seperate men and women. People wrote in about what they thought each gene would be. This was written from both men and women, and not only that, the gene ideas were written by the British.....hilarious!!! Need I say more?
