Look Children to the Eastern Sky

The best way to describe my week would probably be "intense." I can't remember the last time I was this exhausted. So I wanted to show you a little video I made that was part of the reason of my exhaustion.
Yesterday was United Way's Day of Caring. Everyone at my work was in charge of a project at one of our agencies. Several different groups in the community gave four hours in the morning to volunteer to improve the agency in some way. I was in charge of the Family Support and Treatment Center, BYU came and gave them a beautiful new sign, as well as cleaned toys and rooms, painted their shed, cleaned their parking lot, cleaned bathrooms and windows, and basically made the place beautiful. It was a lot of fun actually, but I am so glad its over.
Part of my job was to take pictures to document this event. So of course I made a video with them. The music is Anberlin.
I would also like to say that in the video at the end I had already been up for three hours, don't judge.

Hey Renny
It is Friday evening and I am in the library right now "studying." What I had to do is give you props for liking a good band: Anberlin. Take this song for instance: Uncanny. It has really grown on me. Don't ask me why every time I type Youtube into my Firefox browser it redirects me to France's Youtube. I might have a destructive and malignant cookie that I should delete pronto. I'm really glad you've had a good week.

I am not sure why I removed the post. It was only one line anyway; about how it gave me blog fodder but I wasn't going to talk about it b/c it was fake blog fodder. It was funny. In the dream I created a post about this experience I had. I mean, I imagined writing about it on my blog, but then I woke up and it was all a dream and it was a funny sort of feeling. It was early in the morning, when it still made sense to me.

The guy in the last picture is Scott Smith, my brother-in-law.

PS Totally awesome video, and I concur with your mother.

Lindsey,

I read Bob Barr's platform. While I agree with most of his items, I disagree with his war and foreign policy. I also disagree about who should or shouldn't make law on what constitutes a marriage. My biggest fear is that voting for the guy who has such a small chance of winning would be like voting for Obama. That could give him the edge he needs in AZ if people jump off the McCain wagon and move to Barr.

Um... maybe he was in your ward your freshman year. He lived in DT the same year that you did. But yeah, he goes here now. His freshman year he dated a girl named Darci. I think that's it... I don't think that he's taken any history classes, especially cause he just barely got back from his mission.. well I guess like almost a year ago, but he just came back to BYU.

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...
