My chance discovery

I enjoy country music although it's not something I go out of my way to get, but when I happen to stumble upon a good song I am always happy. So as I was flipping channels one night I happened to hear this song on the GAC channel, and I fell in love. This is called "Please read the Letter" and it's by Allison Krauss and Robert Plant from Led Zepplin. Who knew that they could make good music together, and what better way to share it then on my blog. I really have nothing else to blog about...

I guess it is Utah

So I recently read the new novel by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight) "The Host." I wasn't planning on reading it but Nila told me to. So due to peer pressure coming all the way from San Antonio I went out on a hunt for this book.
But, before I went out on that wild goose chase I tried to get it for free from the library. The day it came out I went on to the online catalog that the Provo Library and found out that my position in the queue was 177 at the time. I thought that was crazy, but the craziest thing is that I went on again just out of curiosity tonight and the queue is now at 287, and they had to order new books! well it is utah after all, and it's provo too.
As for the book, I enjoyed it a lot. It's not for everyone, but I thought it was good. I still think that the Twilight series is much better though

a few songs from my playlist...

Since I have nothing else to blog about, I thought I might share a few songs that i absolutely love, and some discoveries-at least to me

This is one of my favorite songs from the movie Once. It's called "When your mind's made up". I love everything about this song.



This is one of my favorite Feist songs from her album Let it Die. It's called "Mushaboom"



I have always loved The Killers but I only recently heard this song. "Why do I keep counting?" is fast becoming one of my favorites from them.


Okay this last one is another from the film Once, it is my favorite song from it. It's called "Lies."
Again I love everything about this song.

I'm sure their is an easier way to share with everyone, but oh well I'm bored. ENJOY!

the movie corner

So I recently watched national treasure 2 and it was what I expected. This movie is proof that Disney sucks whatever life they have out of a good film. The first National Treasure was fun, exciting, and different. It had a good plot, humorous script, it was just highly entertaining. In this second film all the jokes were old, the plot was weak, and they needed a better antogonist. So I don't think this movie was worth the time and i wouldn't recommend it to many people, but then again that's only my opinion.

Here's to life

Is it possible to trade in your life for someone else's?? I'm only kidding, but seriously, don't you have those days when you wish you could be some one else, even if only for a day??
And don't get me wrong, I love my life. well i'm content in my life, it's actually amazing that i'm not depressed or something given my current circumstances. (i.e. no job, etc...) Anyways, I am here to say that besides the obvious, I am a very happy person, and I think that it is all because of my family, friends, and the gospel. Who knows where i would be with even one of those things missing. So thank you my friends and family, for without you i would be homeless and on the street, maybe not that extreme but you get me drift.
And I think that if something like trading lives were possible it wouldn't be pretty, just watch wife swap, if you know what i mean.
