Whoops

Apparently I missed yesterday.   Whoops.

Day 15 video


I've liked Adele since she got way popular like a year or two ago, but I think she's so much better in an acoustic setting.

Old School

Day 14

DDL talking about what is quite possibly my favorite movie ever... in 1992

205# C&J fail

This was my first time trying 205# on a Clean and Jerk.  I hit 195# just before, but couldn't get 205#. 
I will get it soon.

I love me some Star Wars

Day 11
This feels like a chore... I'll probably make it to day 30 and not post again for a long time... but then I find videos like this that make me laugh.  A lot.

How and why we read

I've been reading a little more lately... and I love it.

My video for day 10

Paul Harvey and Farmers

Day 9

I honor of Patricia's slow dance party tonight...

Day 8

I like this video:



typical BYU!

Yup

Hurt

This is probably my favorite performance from an "award" show - ever.

Helping others

Day 5

This is from the 1992 Olympics, and in light of some nasty stuff that happened today, I just want to think about the people who rush to help when bad stuff happens, and how I want to be that kind of person.

Search for Truth

“Mormonism is truth. … The first and fundamental principle of our holy religion is, that we believe that we have a right to embrace all, and every item of truth, without limitation or … being … prohibited by the creeds or superstitious notions of men.”

Sometimes I have questions of faith, but this idea always keeps me going.  One thing (among many) which I love about my religion is that we embrace ALL truth, regardless of source.

30 days of videos: Day 3

This video definitely falls into the "Huh???" category.  While the video is interesting, and kinda cool, what is even more interesting to me is that they got Kate Mara, a real actress, to be in it.  How'd they pull that off?  Do they (the director/producer/writer/actors) know Kate?  Know her agent?  She doesn't even have any lines ('course, nobody does...)  Anyway, here's the video of the day:

Day 2

So I'm doing this 30 days of video thing... and I thought about this new movie trailer I saw today that made me laugh. I think it looks good...

30 days of videos: Day 1

So its been a long time since I posted anything on the blog.  Part of this is caution: I don't want to say something inadvertently offensive, and it seems there are a lot of very uptight people that just need to relax.  Besides, if I'm going to offend someone, I mean to do it intentionally!

Another reason for the delay is just that "meh" feeling in life.  I work, workout, try to develop friendships/relationships... and time just flies by.  I have been trying to read more, trying to be more grateful for the blessings I have in my life, trying to express that gratitude to those who let me be part of their lives, and trying to come to grips with what I want to achieve with my life.  (You know, the same things everyone struggles with, regardless of marital status, children, job, etc.).

So here's something I've decided to do.  I'm going to post cheesy/inspirational/what?!? videos for 30 days.  If you want, you can watch them too.  I invite you to come with me on this adventure into my thoughts.

Day 1

Today's clip comes from Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift.  This is actually the only Fast and Furious movie I haven't watched all of, but Han's a smart guy.

"Its trust and character I need around me.  Who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are."

"Life's simple: you make choices and you don't look back."
