Summa at 1:12 PM

Life is going faster than ever, but first a quick overview of my summer. The day after finals I packed up may car and headed to Provo, Utah where I started my internship at BYU in the office of the Dean of Student life. The internship lasted about 2 months and I had a great time playing in Provo and getting some real on the job training. After the internship I drove back to Vegas for a couple of days before I flew out to Chicago to work my final two weeks of EFY in Nauvoo. I was in Chicago early for a couple of days and stayed with a fellow EFY friend Joe. Joe had a bunch of us to stay at his parents home in Chicago for a while before we finally drove to Nauvoo. It was a great couple of sessions and I will miss EFY. The time has come for me to move on and seek new and exciting adventures. After Nauvoo some of us traveled back to Chicago to fly to our respective destinations. While there I ran into my old roommate Tommy who was busy hooking up with is new girlfriend. After being stuck in the Chicago airport because my flight was cancelled I finally got back to Las Vegas a day after I was supposed to be starting my new assistantship. Now I am back in Las vegas and school has already started up including the undergrad course I am teaching this semester. I am excited to finish up my last year at UNLV.

Awesome! at 3:21 PM

I found this on the interweb. This is someone's actual resume. My goal is to one day be this cool.

Michael at 9:35 AM

Sad day yesterday when Michael Jackson died. Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon also died this week but they did not get as much attention. Farrah was not as much part of my childhood and lets face it, most of us were surprised that Ed McMahon was still alive. Michael was the biggest star of them all to pass away. He will be remembered like Elvis and the Beetles to die as one of the greatest stars of all time. I don't want to be too praising because like most people, while I liked his music, he freaked me out a bit. His music was a found part of my childhood, from his thriller music video, to the Sega video game "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" I owned and beat. One of my most clear memories of him was being gathered with my family around the TV to see the premier of his "Black and White" music video that played after the Superbowl if I remember correctly. I remember the video, I think, had Macaulay Culkin in it and all together was ok, until the last 10 minuets when he turned into a panther or some sort of jungle cat and then turned back into a human so he could vandalize a car. After that he then turned back into a cat and walked away and that was the end. I remember there being an awkward silence in the family room after that as we all tried to figure out what the crap that was all about.

On a side note I think I would have turned into a cougar and then trashed the car, people would be less likely to press charges if they thought it was a random cougar attack that trashed their car, and no finger prints. You should have thought that one through Michael.

North of the Bavarian Alps at 12:49 PM

Life is going swimmingly. I am a 26 year old single white male and I am loving it. The internship is going well. I enjoy what I do but some days I just don't want to work. (i.e. today) The efy midwest team is just finishing up Minnesota and I wish I could be there. In other news I was talking with my good friend Angela Brower and I have decided to travel out to Munich, Germany to pay her a visit and check out the city. One of the things I have always neglected to do was travel. I have always found an excuse to not do it but I am really excited about going. Angela has been a stage performer with an acting group in Germany. Angela and I became friends in 2007 when we were on the efy midwest team together. She is an extremely talented singer and has been featured on some church music. Her and I quickly became friends from when we first met and I am excited to have an adventure and see her.

26 Years at 9:53 AM

Tomorrow is my Birthday, I have been on the earth for 26 years now and every year this causes me to do an inventory of my life an look back at what I have accomplished and what I have failed. It is human nature (or maybe just my nature) to look back at my failures more than my accomplishments. I tend to be a person who constantly has regrets and is always wondering "what if..." I am proud at how far along I have some in my schooling. After high school I remember wondering if I would even be able to survive in college. I am proud to look back and not only have completed my Bachelors degree, but to be just a year away from completing my Masters degree. "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry", and I can say that when I was a bright eyed 16 year old preparing for my senior year of high school, I believed my life would be quite different 10 years down the road. I have always been a person who has to have some sort of plan, and when that plan does not come to pass it can be unsettling. I think I have come to the conclusion that it is not what my plans are for the world, but what the world has planned for me.

Up at 11:32 AM

I saw the movie "Up" last night. It was the best Pixar movie yet. Well Done!
