I Pagliacci

Where can I get some good Pho?! Sometimes I get a craving for some good Pho, unfortunately Pho restaurants are officially underrepresented here in Provo. I heard there is a good one near Salt Lake, but I haven't found it. What I did find this week was the Provo Shooting Range! That was pretty fun. Luckily the weather cleared up long enough to enjoy a few hours of shooting.
So, I'm really excited for the week. Last Friday I purchased a couple of new stocks. GNA and USU. GNA is a steel company and USU is a global energy supplier (low enriched uranium). They will both be reporting their quarterly earnings this week and I have high hopes of eating steak this weekend as a result of a successful Bull rally.
I went to church today. Priesthood was really good but Fast and Testimony meeting was kind of strange. This guy got up and said, "The happiest times of my life were spent in the arms of another man's wife", of course the whole ward was shocked and when he told us the woman was his mother we were a little bit relieved but not really..yeah definitely strange.
A few days ago I watched a short film entitled, "Dr. Horrible's Sing along Blog". It wasn't the first time I'd seen it but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a sense of humor.
So tomorrow is the start of a new week. Pretty exciting. So I've been pondering something lately. As of recent it has been my belief that failure can be the secret to success. Failure is ultimately success if motivation and focus are maintained. However, my view of this has turned somewhat pessimistic. The reason being that sometimes you only get one shot. If you fail there is no going back, focus cannot be maintained due to the reality that results from certain failure.
