**Results** David vs Goliath - Halloween Style
So just a quick update to the results! Recently it has been decided that for the result of who carved the better pumpkin that we both were amazing and we have called a truce and there is no definite winner at this time! This may be disappointing to some of you but we have felt that emotions were too high and there was too much at risk to let it continue, that it was better to end it saying we were both AMAZING!

David vs Goliath 2010 - Halloween Style
So let me tell you the modern story of David vs Goliath 2010 - Halloween Style!
Once upon a time there was a strong, good looking man named Turpy (Goliath) He was known upon the land for being the best at everything he did. Every fair lady in the land dreamed of laying with him. No man dared compete against him... One night around Halloween there came a woman! Her name was Hayles (David) and challenged Turpy to a battle. A battle that she knew he was highly favored to win, but she did not back down! Turpy respected her courage and mental strength (cause there was not much physically!) and gave her a chance to make a modern day David vs Goliath. The terms were set, they would have a pumpkin carving faceoff! Who ever carved the best looking pumpkin would be declared victorious and kind for the next year of Pumpkin Carving (I would say queen but we all know that will never happen!)
But how would they chose the winner? Obviously each person would vote for their own pumpkin even if Hayles knew she was lying... So the terms were as follows!
- Pictures will be posted on Turpy-World
- Turpy-World viewers would vote on who will come out victorious! (Thats you)
Here are the final projects
Utah Jazz Note - To the left we have a well done pumpkin. With the theme of the Utah Jazz this modern day original pumpkin is sure to make you awe! With fine craftsmanship and great detail this pumpkin is sure to be known
as one of the better pumpkins ever carved.
Nightmare Before X-mas - To the right we have a pumpkin done in the theme of the nightmare before Christmas. With very little carving skills needed and the man missing his leg this pumpkin will be know at best as a bold attempt to compete with Goliath.
The Question is... Can David do it again and defeat Goliath? Probably not but thats your decision to make. Vote below
1) Utah Jazz Note
2) Nightmare Before X-Mas
*** VOTING HAS ENDED AT THIS TIME ***
Thank you for making the "RIGHT" choice! David can't win twice!

Utah Jazz New Jazzbot
It has been some time since there has been an active post on Turpy-World! I understand that many of you used to look forward to the days that a post was put on Turpy-World! Some of you may have thought those days were over... Well I'm here to assure you after a long break, Turpy-World is back!!
To kick off the new session, I have news to tell you, and I need each of your help! Recently I had applied to be a Utah Jazz Blogger for the Utah Jazz. At first I was just joking around, thought it would be cool. But the more I thought about it... I think it would be sweet and I want to do it. So a few days ago I submitted a sample blog on why I should be chosen. And it looks as though others have all their friends going in just to vote for them. A little bias if you ask me but thats what I am going to have to do to keep up with my competition. So I am asking each and every one of you, to take a few min out of your busy day and extend a vote for me! All you need to do is make an account real quick if you don't have one then log in and rate if 5 stars. Then just leave some BS comment on how cool I am and how well of a Jazz Blogger I will be! Cause lets be honest... Who makes better blog posts? ...... NO ONE!!
This is a link to my post
After you are done if you have a few moments than go ahead and click on the following links as well and vote their butts down to make me look even better! :)
I would owe each and every one of you bunches!
Also be ready for a new Turpy-World post very soon as well!!

When Its All Said And Done!
Over the past week or so I have realized something in my life... How ungreatfull I really am for my family! Not that I dont appreciate them, or that I treat them badly! But when everything possible in your life goes wrong, there is always someone there you can count on! And when it comes down to it, they are the only ones that truly are there for me! I have a lot of good friends that I know are there to support me and help me. But usually its a conditional help, which is still very appreciated and without it I could not live! No matter how many dumb things I do, no matter if its my fault or not! No one will put themselves on the line, physically, emotionally or financially, the way they do for me! I do have the best family in the world and wouldn't change them for anything.
The past week has been a week of trials and hardships, in many ways has made me feel empty, but in many ways has build me up to be a better man. I know when everything is all done with, the lessons I have learned the past few months, and especially this week, will make me a much better person for the future.
I don't want anyone to think I don't have good friends! I do, that help me all the time and I am greatfull for them. I have made a goal to surround myself more with those friends and friends like them.
I believe a good friend is someone who is always on your side, who is there for you when you need it! They dont have to give you everything they have or go out of their way for you, they dont have to be perfect, but to know that they are there and not have to worry what they will act differently than they portray to you. Im not saying I have been the best friend all the time, and I continue to try to be a better person, brother, son and friend. I apologize to anyone that doesn't think im a good friend and know I would never purposely set out with the intent to hurt anyone or talk bad about them!
As the new year comes around, its a perfect time to change who I am, change who I associate with and what I will do in the future with my life. We walk the path that we pave for ourselves, we have no one to blame but ourselves for hardships. If we pave that path with things that will not make us happy in the future, eventually were gonna catch up to that part of the path and have to go through it. My goal is to pave myself with gratitude, good friends, family and a good future. Any tough time I have had recently did not come from no where, there were things I did to pave that in my path that I finally cough up to me! Luckly I have had good company to get me over the bumps in the path, where some dont!
And lastly I am sorry to anyone that may think I did something mean or wrong to them. Know that I would never hurt any friends on purpose. But this has also shown me just how important it is to have friends that treat you well and respect you and really want to be friends with you! Thank you for everyone who has been there for me I do have the best friends and family once all the weeds are taken out!

Things Couldn't be Much Better
Recently if you have been reading Turpy-World you will see a few posts of sadness, a few of frustration and a few of despair! Well I just want to let everyone know that I am not a sad of person as it may seem! Blogging is a way of relieving feelings! I post on here when things out of the ordinary happen! I have had a lot of good moments in the recent past that have not made it just cause when I'm happy I don't need to relieve anything! I like where I am and don't think of blogging it! So I just want to take a moment to let everyone know that things have been going real good for me lately! Not everything is perfect.. but I don't believe that its possible to be! You have to take what good is in front of you, enjoy it, and learn from the bad so you have more joy in the future!
I had been having a bit of struggles the past few months. It all started when my work let me go in February! It was unexpected but with the economy how it was and is they had to make changes, a lot of us didn't make the cut! Finding a job was a difficult task, I was under qualified for the good jobs just cause there were so many people out there applying, and over qualified for the crap jobs! And I was not catching a break! I decided to go out to Boston with my old pal John Gay to do summer sales! He was real successful at it, and I didn't have many other options cause the bills were piling and the job offers were not! So I spent a few months out there, did OK! But eventually found out I was not the person that could knock doors 10 hours a day! And when I wasn't enjoying it, I didn't sale! And there was no point in staying if I wasn't selling. So I came home!
When I returned I came back to nothing, nowhere to live, no job, no friends, no money, nothing! Nothing but my family! So with bi-weekly plasma donations for funds and a great family for support I went out to find another job! But it still wasn't easy! It took me about 2 months to find a job and by that time I had a lot of debt from unemployed and lack of making money in Boston! Over the past 2 months I have played catch up on a lot and am finally out of the pit I felt Like I was in! Looking back at everything that happened makes me see the larger picture, and while I had many many struggles I feel like it was necessary to put me in a position I am in now! Going out to Boston hurt me a lot financially! But I also got a lot out of it! It gave me change, i met a lot of new friends out there who have helped me a lot here at home! And even though she is married and we don't talk! I had a blast when Brittney came out to visit! One of the best weekends I have had in a long time!! I am a better person spiritually! (not that I was bad) But a lot of happiness has came from changes i have and am making! I do miss living with Brandtly a lot! He is one of my best friends! I have never lived with someone I had so much fun doing nothing with! And have missed having that best friend I have been lacking lately! He also helped me through a lot of hard times! And I do miss him! But at the same time, i'm not in a bad position now where I live!
I felt for the longest time I was in a pit I couldn't get out of! Financially and emotionally, and i'm not a emotional person! but recently I have had so much fun it makes all the struggles and pains I went through almost worth it! Having had to struggle financially and realize I was not as qualified for jobs as I once thought I was has made me start school back in the spring! I have a good paying job now that is flexible and will allow me to do it! Struggling emotionally made me come out of the shell I crawled into recently and I now have met a lot of new friends! Hung out with people I already knew but never dared to ask them out! And things are going good! A large step in the right direction! I am happy! Things are not perfect... But if they were, thats when I would be really worried!
Thanks for all the help everyone has given me recently in helping me come back to the Turpy you all LOVE!! All the fun times that I needed when I was struggling! And the support! I have great friends and family and couldn't ask for more:-)
