Some Awesome Lady 3

Alright… so I follow this blog called SoulPancake. It’s just about asking deep questions and then commenting on them. I found this lady named Kaschua (at least that’s her screenname) who writes the most profound comments I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how to link to the exact post I found, but here’s the text: [...]

You’re Self-Conscious 5

I’m going to start a group. SSCPNSA. Somewhat Self-Concious People Not-So-Anonymous. I’m becoming convinced that there is no one in the world that wouldn’t qualify for the club. If you’ve ever done any of the following, welcome to the club:

I Saw a Skyscraper Today. That’s Awesome. 5

Let me tell you a story.  A long time ago, you were a baby.  You sat there, looked around, grinned (but didn’t know why), and drooled on whatever object happened to be placed in your inch-long hands.  You didn’t care about possessions.  You didn’t know about the worries of the world.  You loved grinning and [...]

Thoughts for the Day 7

It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything, and a whole lot longer since I’ve just written something that doesn’t make sense. Therefore, here are the things I’m thinking right now: Security badges – freaking awesome.  There is no greater feeling than walking by Herbert the security guard, flashing your badge at the scanner, [...]

Ode to the Wingman 4

I finally made it to Houston! For the first time in my life, I’m living on my own in a real sense–as a matter of fact, I’m 25 hours away from life in Provo, if you drive. On a scale from 1 to “on your own”, I’m at least an 8.5. So far, living in [...]

Angry/Wrathful Scriptures and a Loving God 3

For quite a while, I’ve wondered how the Savior, the loving, caring caretaker/creator of our universe and our individual lives, make such statements as this one in D&C 29: 17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not [...]

Captcha! 6

Don’t you love those little things with all the ridiculously hard-to-read letters? You know, the ones you have to fill in to sign up on certain websites, or maybe to leave a comment on a friend’s blog? They’re called “Captchas” and their sole purpose in life is to make sure you’re not a robot. Cool [...]

New American Classic 3

On Monday this week, our little band played in the ward talent show.  We played New American Classic by Taking Back Sunday, and I think it turned out pretty sweet; our friend Celia played violin for the song and it added a ton to the sound! Anyway, here’s our friend Ashley’s video of the performance: [...]

The Most Awesomest Phone Ever 9

I’m going to warn you… this is a very nerdy post about a really cool cell phone.  If that’s not your cup of tea, thanks for stopping by.  If you like gadgets, let me tell you a story: A long time ago there was a company named Palm.  They made little things called Palm Pilots–remember [...]

I Loved a Chick Flick! 4

I have to post this–I love the movie Penelope.  I just watched it last night with my sister and you know what?  It made me realize what a shallow jerk I am sometimes.  I want to find a girl I fall in love with for who she is.  Even if she has a pig-face!  That’s [...]
