A Thought About Thinking

Not long ago I was at my sister-in-law Stacia's house, and we were talking about a few different things that have been going on lately in the family, world, etc, etc. She said something very interesting that I have been thinking about ever since. She said: "Isn't it funny that we never speak up about anything unless we're against it? No one really ever speaks up about an issue unless they have a problem with it, and its kind of sad that rarely do we hear what people think--we only hear about what they don't think."
I have been thinking a lot about that lately, and I think she's right. At least from my own part, I rarely let people know about how I feel about things--regardless of whether I agree or disagree. So I am going to use this as a means to periodically say what I think about certain issues, and just share my opinion--even if no one acually reads it anyway :-)
Its just like Eddie Vedder once said: "If you donn't stand for something, you'll fall for everything." I'm not the most articulate person in the world, but I hope some of my thoughts may be enough to at least get us to think a little bit more about some things.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hey everybody. I wanted to post something for Saint Patrick's Day--so here is a great movie from Who's Line is it Anyway. I love the song and think it's great. I hope you like it too. Just don't pay too much attention to the part after the commercial break is all. Enjoy!!

Captain James T. Kirk

As you all may know, I am NOT a "trekkie" (a Star Trek fan), but I saw this poster on the outside of a physics professor's door at BYU, and I think it is hilarious. I hope one day I'll also have a sound of being awesome.

Soldier Hollow

Two weeks ago Suzana and I were able to go tubing at Soldier Hollow with my work. It was really fun to be with everyone, and for those who have never been before, we had a really fun time tubing down the HUGE tubing hills they have there. If anybody remembers, Soldier Hollow is where they had the cross country skiing and biathlon events. Well, they still do cross country skiing there, but they've converted a section of it into a huge tubing area. You get to ride a little tow rope on the way up, so you don't have to climb up the hill, and then there are HUGE tubing lanes to go down. (I have video of Suzana and I going down together, but I can't upload it to YouTube and I don't know why. Has anybody done it that might know?? It is about 50MB, is that too large??) Anyway, here are a few pics in the meantime until I get this video thing figured out. Enjoy!!
