My Ride

I finally have a car of my own. I can't tell you how free I feel! I feel like traveling around the world! OH BOY! No, it is cool to have a car though. Really nice. I bought my brother's car. 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. It has been a car I have loved driving for quite sometime and I continue to love driving it. I got the registrastion and insuarance.... and a Y parking sticker for BYU... So I am set. I traveled all the way to Ogden and back and it seemed to work like a charm! It's nice to have a radio that works... for the most part. It is a really nice and comfortable car and I got it at a really nice price. So I am feeling more and more like a man as time goes on... and Kirk says it's got a comfortable back seat.

Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings

So I just barely bought the new Counting Crows album "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings." I have to admit I really like it a lot. I have been reading a lot of the reviews and I would have to agree that it is a really great album! You have to listen to the whole album to get the idea, but it is really put together well. I just read something that had Adam (Lead Singer, Song Writer) talking about how they don't want to make a really good single but they want to make a really good album. Especially with the new world of music where you can just buy one song instead of the whole album.... that was paraphrased of course.... and I must say, it is a really great album but, I have come to expect it from my favorite band. The only problem is they will be going on tour with Maroon 5 and they will be playing in Scranton, PA.... but not Utah. It's kind of a sad thing but I can live with it. If I could just get to Scranton....I know some of you might be asking why I would randomly say Scranton and that is because I lived close to there for a few months. That would be a good excuse to go visit all of my friends there in Scranton. I just don't know if I can make it out there but I will try. My favorite song on the album is "Cowboys." (If you want to listen to "Cowboys" it is on my play list at the bottom of the page) I really like the chorus of the song "insignificant." If you are a Counting Crows fan it is is totally worth the purchase. I have come to expect nothing but greatness from them. If you aren't a fan the I would first like to say.... "I am sorry." Then I would tell you to go buy all of their albums and become one! It is so worth it.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!!!

Berlin! is over! It is kinda funny how much something like that changes you. I loved filming the whole week! after doing it I have finally figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I would love to be in front of the camera. The only problem with filming is that it is so anticlimactic. When I left the studio for the last time I left alone. There was no one there to say bye to except for Pippin who was my costume person, there was no final performance to give it all you got, there was no one to thank for coming and experiencing the final show with you. All I had was the director saying, "OK, that's it thank you." All in all it was a really great experience and I hope that I will get to do something of that scale again. I have been preparing for this show since January. The great thing about doing this show is learning everything about the Berlin Airlift. I knew nothing of the struggle the Berliners had to go through. I was also able to meet some of the amazing men of our country who actually helped with the Berlin Airlift of 1948. I met and talked to Gail Halverson who is well known as the Candy Bomber. He came to a reception that we held in between our last performances on Saturday, March 15th. It's amazing to actually talk to a real hero. Someone I look up too. (I even had a picture of him on my desktop at work) It really made me think about what kind of a man I need to start being now. It is awesome to see someone who has refined his life into something magnificent. It was a real testament to me that it is the small and simple things that we do that make us into men we can become. It's amazing that he simply dropped some candy to the kids in Berlin and because of that simple almost insignificant action became one of the greatest ambassadors for the church he is a part of and the United States. So I am really glad for simple reminders that help me focus on what I need to to be doing today.
