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

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

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.

I didn't get enough sleep, so after our work lunch party, which enabled us to eat large amounts of Korean food (seasoned beef 'n' stuff wrapped in lettuce was good, but I didn't like the "kimchi" which was nothing more than hot and spicy rotten cabbage), I felt a bit tired... Too tired to work.

1st Nephi : 14

When I sit and think about what I just read, the 14th chapter of 1st Nephi is pretty crazy.

The majority of the chapter is all about the "mother of abominations" and the "whore of all the earth".
I believe it's written here to clarify the impact this (these) church(es) has (have) had upon the plain and...
