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
PoeticIntensity
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

Today I needed to encode a movie I bought on Friday (Fearless), and I wanted to encode it in its native language, but have english subtitles. The command I ended up using was this:

"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.

2nd Nephi : 4 - Nephi's Psalm
PoeticIntensity
First, a question.
In verse 15, Nephi states that he delights in the scriptures, and that he writes them according to the spirit. Well... That leads me to question whether or not he realized he was a prophet or not. Very interesting, and possibly stupid, question (maybe he already knew about D&C 68:4).
Now, the chunk of ...

I just got done reading an excerpt on Sony's new "open", "non-DRM" solution to downloading their music legally.

Yet another great strategy-based chapter. I'm kind of tired right now, and this chapter wasn't really loaded with doctrinal insights, but I will say that if there's any question about whether or not obedience has its rewards, you'll have to read verses 21-27. Definitely makes me want to both learn about and obey my Heavenly Father...

Too tired to work.
