teaching swim school=really fun

Its only my second day and I already got this note. who wouldn't love teaching little kids to swim??? Plus they think you look really great in a swim suit...see the realistic representation..."when you swim, a side-pony is the way to go,"says swim teacher rachel.

provo dont be so lame...

come on grow up. seriously, like there aren't better things to do then protest the visit of the Vice-President of the United States. That makes me so sick. One thing I learned when I left Provo was that, everything that matters there, doesn't even matter in the real world. Its all about the people and there are so many other things we can do with our time.
I personally respect the decisions made by the board to invite Cheney. I am sure that I can learn something from him, even if I don't agree with a lot of his politics. He prolly won't even talk politics!
Its all about respect and tolerance. I feel so ashamed that my fellow students would disrespect like that...whateves, Its a free country. talk about controversy

Oh how I wish I could photosynthesize!!

Now I see that this has a double meaning. If you have twenty-nine minutes and four seconds, listen to this: Look up 'Maxwell, Neal A.' Topic:Patience, Its the last one listed, entitled "PATIENCE" then download the free MP3. It will change your life

Arbor day is on the way...

I might be a tree hugger
I bought this shirt to commemorate arbor day. love it.

holla holla holla

I LOVE my friends. Way to go superstars!! Go vote for Ju and Emily after March 31st. This video is spectacular!!

I, wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day.

So basically I was on tour with Drew Danburry, but if you want to know the truth, Drew just needed a ride to UT and as incentive told me I could open. It was pretty amazing to be a rock star for a weekend, playing a show for a bunch of people I didn't know, standing behind the merch table and telling everyone about Drew and his music. Its been fun to have Drew in Vegas.
First off on the tour, he played a show in Provo with Micah and Camille and some other bands. It was so much fun to see Heather, Amy, Hillary, Stefan, Lauren, Shannon, and Aaron:



After the Provo show we went up to Logan to play a house party. We met a ton of cool people and the crowd was amazing. I've included a picture of Drew rocking the crowd up in Logan.



I think it is so hard to make music into a business, or anything you love for that matter, into a business. If you become a rock star you need to make money doing it, but at the same time I wished that I could have developed real relationships with all of those awesome people I met in Logan. We had a great time and if anyone wants to book us for future shows. Call Annelisa...she's the real girlfriend/booking agent.


That yellow bucket was the collection plate. We got it filled to the top. People just kept pulling out $20s and we eventually had to tell them, "We know you like our music, but you need to eat this week." or "We can't take your whole paycheck." and stuff like that.

And here, for your listening pleasure, Nate and I recorded this song back in January. "Sonny Listen"--Its our first single. Enjoy!

This must be why I am so west coast...

I'm just a snob, reviewing some album...

So, the Shins new album...not many people have given it outstanding reviews. But personally, there are quite a few reasons why I like it. Mostly, I make that statement because of one line in 'Girl Sailor,' "You've made it through the direst of straits alright, can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?"
That in a nutshell describes how I feel lately. When you've been in love with someone who is completely crazy, strange, non-commital, needy and extremely emotionally unstable, liking a normal guy suddenly becomes really hard. Your mind can't understand someone sane. What? there's no games, no guessing?? All the sudden plain love just seems less interesting. woah, unbelievable.
So at least I finally pin pointed what it was. In the end, when its true, plain love will be enough. John Lennon was right, "All you need is love."

I could chew this all day long...

YUM YUM GIMME SUM!! so minty, so mojito-y, so exotic. you're gonna love it.
