Financial Decisions...
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I keep on runing into these people who have learned what I want to learn.
About a year ago, I met a guy named Rick Koerber and he seemed like a normal guy. About 6 months later, I find out he's a freaking multi-millionarie. I also find out that he teaches how he did it, and so I learn about it. It seems really legit...

Drum Corps. 2007

I just got back from a wonderful evening spent with my wife, Shaun, Tiffy, Shane, and Becca. We went to Weber State to see the annual drum core competition.
Let me just say.... Amazing. Yup... Amazing.... That's what it was.
It also got me to thinking about a lot of things. For some reason lots of normal things...

I was wandering around the net to shake off the daily grind, when I came upon this site .
The poem made me think, and thinking is a pretty good thing. So, in response to his poem, I wrote the poem "To Write". I was suprised at how fast it came, and pretty freely, too. Anyway...
It's always a treat to find good poetry....

To Write...
PoeticIntensity
(poem)
To write...
Feeling as though worthlessness is she who has found me...
The block of feeling sinks deeper into an endless ocean...
of creative decay.
Yes, to write is to live.
But to live defines my weakness
my misunderstanding
my inadequacy
my wretched mind
my life.
nevertheless!
to write...
..is to live...
...and I shall live....

Transcoding subtitles

"What is a motorcycle doing in *this*?", I thought as I continued upward through the winding Spanish Fork canyon. It wasn't so much that a motorcycle was in this particular canyon, but rather in the canyon during one of the 3 most torrential downpours I've seen during my lifetime.

Holy cow, there's some weird crap on the Internet.

2007 was a year of goal making, goal breaking, and goal taking.

I have written quite a bit about this chapter during previous years' studies. To begin, I noticed this time that it is by the "spirit of prophecy" that Zeezrom's thoughts are made known to Alma and Amulek.
I also noticed that during the buffeting these prophets delivered to Zeezrom, not one attack was personal. They were sim...

Too tired to work.

It's a new day,
And so I must fight.
Fight for my right live!
As time gose on,
I know my suffering will be small.
But why must I stuggle at all?
Time will go on,
And soon I'll be,
Just another scar on your heart.
Am I so alone?
My sadness and pain,
I'll never show.
But will time go on for me?
Can there be light behind my sorrow...

The Power to Change
Are there tears in me
For who I want to be?
Humbly in meek prayer,
I'll extend all energy.
With God's help I can abstain.
A new life I can obtain.
I will hold to the rod,
With my life close to God
Through His narrow paths I will trod.
Can these tears of mine
Cleanse all my soul and mind?
With the S...
