There's Still Some Living Left When Your Prime Comes and Goes

Sometimes I think, "wouldn't it be cool if a lot of people read my blog? Like I was one of those famous bloggers?" Then I ponder on how I can do that.


I think, "maybe I could paint pictures like Allie Brosh on Hyperbole and a Half."


but I'm not artistic.


Then I think, maybe I can make my blog all theme-y like Cake Wrecks.


but we've seen how much people read the last theme blog I tried. blogging FAIL.


Then I think, "perhaps I can have a satire blog, that mocks other blogs like *Seriously So Blessed," 


but I don't know what to mock, and anyway, mocking people is kinda mean, so I just don't think I'd be able to continue it.


Then I think, "maybe I can do a photography blog and post all the pictures I take."


photographed by me: Copyright 2010

but then you might think I'm a legitimate photographer, and that would be misleading.


Then I think, "I could do a food blog, or an arts and crafts blog and post pictures of the amazing things I make.


but then I think, "nah. I don't feel like it. Plus I'm not crafty."


After all of this idea pursuing I think, "hm, I guess I'll just keep the blog how it is, and perhaps at some point I'll put more effort in my writing and so more people will just read it."


but then I think, "I don't know if I want more people to read it. I like that its just my friends and family."


Then I think, " but if more people read it, that would be cool." 


So, as you can see, this is very circular thinking. 


Sometimes when I read old blog posts I think, "I used to be funnier. Why'd I let myself get so unfunny and angry and such?" So friends, I'm going to try and bring the funny back into my blog.


but that isn't its theme.


*If you're not Mormon you might not get that blog. **


** If you are Mormon, you still might not get that blog.

ahhh, i like your blog though. After getting addicted to the hyperbole blog, I did think...whoa. blogging can be so much more. And those are cool. But I like being able to read about you and how you are doing. and i don't think it's so much that you lost humor on your blog as that you stopped posting. like at all. for quite some time. remedy that and i think all will be well :)

What makes a legitimate photographer anyway? I think if you can take pics, you are legit. Also, about your last blog where you talked about your favorite cases, could you please post the outcomes of the cases because now I am curious!

Haha. You totally captured thoughts I'm sure every blogger has at some point or another. I've always thought you were funny, so I can't wait for more Renny humor!

Mom a legitimate photographer is someone with a Nikon camera and a tripod who takes people's money when they take their photos, and they use photoshop to awesome them up.

The outcome of every single case was that everyone died.

Just kidding, I did tell you the outcome of the Property case though, the house was haunted as a matter of law.

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...
