Want a quick and surefire way to make a person feel insignificant? Tell them their face is indistinguishable from four billion others. While you're at it, go ahead and tell them that their facial features and placement are nothing special, just another casting of an overused mold.
What kind of audacity would a person have to possess in order to say such a thing? Maybe I'm being a bit hyperbolic with the above example but hyperboles prove points and I am on a point-proving mission (along with a save the world mission).

When choosing a blog title I always start with something completely over the top and eventually decide to dilute it. While hoping to make it as attention grabbing as possible, and the initial title of this blog was very attention grabbing indeed, I figured the insertion of swear words was not fully necessary. I don't want to offend the reader before the start of the entry, only afterward...yes, my posts aim to give you a bad aftertaste. Now onto more important matters...
There will be pandemonium on the streets of Provo and Orem come this November. Here's to being one of the few that will not be participating.
Utah County does not deserve an In & Out. The following essay will attempt to explain why.

This post probably belongs in my epicuriousinprovo.com blog but since that enterprising project went down the fecal matter hole it looks like it will find a home here.
Provo needs a good teriyaki place. I find that in order to get decent teriyaki you must venture into sit-down restaurants with geisha attire wearing waitresses which can often be pricey. There is also Teriyaki Stix which I will sometimes frequent in order to fix an insatiable need for teriyaki. It takes an overpowering delirium (usually brought on by my lack of teriyaki bowls) which drives me to step foot in the establishment. The bowls at Teriyaki Stix are pre-made and only receive a quick zapping in the microwave before serving. The lack of preparation is obvious as you dabble through scant amounts of bland chicken and vegetables coupled with an unproportional amount of teriyaki sauce that overwhelms and stifles the rice from ever fully expressing itself. Notice how I just anthropomophized rice, a feat definitely worth noting.
In short, you're left wondering why you even went in the first place.
I miss the dismally dirty teriyaki venues at home. I miss the fact that they're a fusion of Asian fares: Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Kimchee with your beef bowl? No problem! I also miss the fact that I can hear more than just a microwave buzzing as the cooks make my meal to order. Nom, nom, nom.
So I've decided if all other plans fall through, ie. teaching English in China; finding a respectable job, I'll open up a teriyaki place. I've already come up with the name, "JessYaki" and the slogan, "Get your yaki on!" Because honestly, if a place like Provo/Orem can get a good pho place (plug for Pho Noodle House on State St.) it's about time they got a good teriyaki place.
