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:

PoeticIntensity
"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.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints- a poem

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.

Hail OpenOffice.org!
PoeticIntensity
To begin, quite honestly, let me say this:
Without OpenOffice.org, using Linux in a professional environment (which I have been doing now for 4 straight years across 4 different companies) would have been, and would currently be, much more difficult at the very least.
Those who have desk jobs, and more specifically programming jobs, know how...

I almost didn't post anything tonight..... But... I've gotta.
One thing which seems to irritate me quite a bit is this phenomenon among people of my faith which drives them to make some pseudo-philosophical yet some how not quite doctrinally correct quote and then follow it by "I'm sure it's in the scriptures. I just read it. I swear. " or, "I'...

I take a lot of liberties on this, and there are a few slight timing issues, but I thought it was a great show of the "groove" inside music.
Good times.

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...
