I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

I think they need more songs about dads... Anyway, its Father's Day. So I am posting about my dad, because he is the coolest.

Look at him, coolness simply oozes from him. I know I know, you're jealous, and... you should be. Let me tell you some things about my dad. First of all, he is the smartest man I know. He tries to be all modest about this, but really dad, you're not fooling anyone, we all know you're a genius. Second of all, he is hilariously funny. Don't be fooled by his quiet exterior, the man is funnier than anyone else I have ever met, and believe me, I know some pretty funny people. Third of all, he is quite the entertainer. Ask any of my siblings, they will verify this fact. Ward variety shows... he should always be the MC. He usually isn't, and we all concur, nobody is as good at it as he is.

When I was younger I was astounded by the fact that my dad could manage to sound like anyone that was singing on the radio. Seriously, one second he was Elvis, the next he was Buddy Holly, then all of a sudden he was Bob Dylan. Can your dad do that? I think not. Moreover, my dad can build anything. No, I'm really not even kidding. He has built us bunk beds, he built my mom an island in her kitchen, have you ever done that? I'm gonna go with no. Now he is building himself a shed in our backyard. The list of other things he has built is endless. And let me just say, he is no shoddy workman, not only does he build things, but he builds it right, and he builds to last.

But, sorry I just started a sentence with but... let me tell you my favorite thing about my dad. He is my hero. He takes care of my family and any time I need a blessing I know he can give it to me, because he has, numerous times. Physically, my dad is very strong, ask my brothers, he can still beat them arm wrestling, and they are no weaklings themselves. Spiritually however, my dad's strength is astounding. He is always teaching, whether it be verbally in Family Home Evening, or simply by his example of righteousness. In fact, I used him as such today in Relief Society. So, I am grateful for my dad because to me he is a great example and emulation of what my Father in Heaven is like.

So, I have met a number of cool dads in my lifetime. I have grown especially fond of many of my friends fathers, and I think they're great. In the end however, my dad is the best. So happy father's day dad. I don't tell you this enough, but I am proud of you too. Stay cool.

Yes, I drew that picture. I drew one of Paul too, but it doesn't look quite like him. He thinks it does, but I would like to perfect it a bit more before releasing it to the public and letting him use it as his profile pic.

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
