and supposedly he's only doing this for selfish reasons but still i want to finish it!

When it comes to WWII i love to learn about it.
That war amazes me the most and i just have
the interest to learn more and more on the concentration camps.
I have come across a few movies that i have
(it sounds weird to say enjoyed because really they have made me sad)
watched and i would like to share them with you too.

1. Schindler's List:
it is rated "R" but i think it is a movie worth watching
especially with it being a true story.

2. The Boy in Striped Pajamas:
it is rated "PG-13" and a really good movie on friendship even though as
Bruno puts it, "were not suppose to be friends, were suppose to be enemies."

3. The Pianist:
it is rated "R" but along with Schindler's list,
its a part of history and something to learn more about.
It is also a true story.

I would love to meet a survivor of the holocaust and just tell them that i love them and that there is nothing they could of done differently to change history but i would also love to learn from them.

I would also love to go to Auschwitz- Birkenau.
I know it will be a sad feeling but it is one place i would love to visit.
Its one thing to see pictures and read about it,
its another to go and see the place in where all of this madness took place.

Video?

so i don't have too many blog followers,
but of the followers
would you want me to start posting
vlog (video blog) updates?

The man...

...on the mountain has reached his destination!

This post goes out to my friend,
Christopher Ryan Hostetler
Who taught me that being active in the outdoors is fun.
That rock climbing is like life,
you may take the most challenging route
but if you follow the marked paths it takes you to where you need or want to go.
I may of not understood it till now.
Who wanted me to learn from my mistakes and choose the better route.
And i have may have it may of been tough on the
both of us.
But it is what was was needed for you, Christopher
to reach your destination.
Be the best you can be, always go on adventures,
love always, laugh often, and never look back.

"Follow your dream...
take one step at a time & don't settle for less, just continue to climb.
Follow your dream...
if you stumble, don't stop & loose sight of your goal, press on to the top.
For on top can we see the whole view, can we see what we've done & what we can do-- Can we then have the vision to seek something new...
Press on and follow your dream"

You have reached your destination and it is meant to be focused on,
your dream has been reached...
Congratulations, I am Happy for you I really am!

Pink Sunday

A couple Sunday's ago i attend my old Singles Ward,
Phoenix North,
a lot of the same people still there from when i attended 3 years ago...
still kinda the same with the acception of this guy...Seems pretty innocent doesn't he...
well he sure does have a nice pink ensamble going on,
grey with pink pin stripe pants, with a pink shirt and tie...
So the story begins...

I am siting in sacrament meeting next to the missionaries.
I arrived a lil late so the people i may of wanted to sit by had no room,
so there i sit.
Pretty interesting fast Sunday sacrament meeting,
there was a guy that got up twice to bear his testimony
he was that eager to share it was cute but very funny
and some interesting starts,
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 go bear your testimony...."
but this pink guy however took the cake for me i look to my left to see this guy wearingyou guessed it slippers but not only slippers pink and magenta stripped fuzzy socks the socks that girls and me wear around the house on those cold days!

...to move or not to...

Everyone
has that person that will always
be around,
and here i am sitting at my parents,
house to myself.
No messages from friends in wanting to do
something.
So i guess those friends that i thought
i had are no longer,
They still are great friends but i feel like they think the
distance is to far.
Its not too far i am willing to drive just invite me,
i don't so much like
to come over unannounced.

To move:
-A change, fresh start
-New kid feeling
-Potential awesome new friends
-just NEW

Not to:
-I will miss my awesome ward +Bishop rich
-Friends I've made

kneyes

My friend Shane got really bored apparently
so he drew some eyes on my knees!
I now see through my knees!
Kind of like Pan's Labyrinth where the guy see's through
his hands...
I'm going to have to wash it off before i got to bed,
don't want it rubbing off onto my
white comforter!
But still pretty awesome...
Thanks!

what you see.
Sorry for all the baggage.

Everything
is always exactly as it's suppose to be,
the only thing worth getting attached to is change
AND
if what you're doing doesn't serve to create patience,
compassion, wisdom, and gratitude-
don't bother with it.

Sleepers Vol. 5

This issue goes out to my roommate
Amy Thompson,
The Last Cheese Bender!

She falls asleep 5 mins into the t.v. series
Dollhouse.
Only to furrow her eyebrows as she sleeps, so angrily!
Then wakes up cause she was drooling only to go into the next
pose...

I just drooled and am embarrassed so i will hide away from you all!
But it doesn't end there no sir... it just gets
better!

That hand must be getting a lil' tired making your sleep to face the
sky!

Learning about my Zodiac Signs

I fall in the cusp of cancer and leo…

the in between of the two.

so instead of just focusing on one sign why not focus on both.

So here is what I found…

They are great thinkers and possess magnificent memories.
By nature, these are immensely sympathetic souls...particularly to those in distress and will contribute freely and lavishly toward relief. Loyalty to friends is yet another admirable trait associated with this cusp combination. Indeed, there is no trouble or disgrace sufficient to cause these natives to forsake those to whom they have given friendship. Females governed by this cusp combination are frequently among the best wives and mothers to be found in the entire Zodiac. They are good housekeepers and excellent cooks, with a pronounced desire for "pleasures of the table." Indeed, all these cuspians (regardless of gender) have a strong association with food.
Cancer/Leo cuspians love being on the "cutting edge" of innovative projects and activities, possessing the vitality and ambition to be successful in creative endeavors. Indeed, "creativity" is one of the keywords attributed to these subjects and their caring nature ensures that the benefits of their imaginative powers will help others. Although they may not necessarily be suited to the position of leadership, they are efficient and their application to the task at hand is admirable. These natives also know how to delegate authority and work within a team environment.
However, when there is a tendency to vie for ascendancy, this cusp combination often produces wide mood swings which can cause immense psychic stress. It may be hard for others to know exactly how to approach these cuspians and those who know them well will frequently ease slowly into conversations, sitting quietly until the mood becomes apparent.
Generally, it is difficult (if not impossible) to push Cancer/Leo subjects from one psychological state into another due to the fact that they are resistant to emotional manipulation. The water element of Cancer results in these natives tending to respond through emotion, while the fire element of Leo provides a more physical aspect to the character, coupled with a tendency to respond to the world by way of action.
Thus, these cuspians are normally quite intuitive and will leap headfirst into life, refusing to fret over whether their latest goal is realistic or practical. However, should the situation happen to require drama or courage, then these subjects most certainly possess both...in great abundance.
Cancer/Leo cuspians enjoy physical exercise (which can aid to counter the stress inherent in the emotional nature of this blend) and there is a decided preference here to play team sports or participate in group exercise rather than any solo activity. In short, these natives are far too sociable to truly enjoy solitary running or any other form of individual activity.
-- Possess the inward and sensitive traits inherent in Cancer --
-- Possess the outward and fiery traits inherent in Leo --
-- Tend to have rather volatile personalities --
-- Prone to movement...both physically and emotionally --
-- Life is prone to be focused on strength and grace --
-- Often lacking in self-discipline --
-- Apt to dwell on the past --
-- Need to learn to live for the moment --
-- Vibrant and energetic --

What do you think.... is it me?

a better me

Sleepers Vol. 4

We went up to Payson, AZ
for mother's day and went to dinner
and to a movie
then to dessert at chili's.
On the drive home Vanessa passed out from the fun times.
I saw her in the review mirror and
gave my camera to Shane
to take a picture
of her.

True Colors

I've seen enough in my life to know which are good
and
which are what i don't need to deal with anymore.
This past week was one of
those true color
moments.
As much as i will miss living in the front room
it'll be better it i just
moved out.
I haven't been much of myself and have become
something id rather
not be or say.
I think becoming a better me is most
important
so achieving that has to happen in a different place
then i am now.
I hate having people find out things
in ways i wish they wouldn't
although i would
of told you but i didn't know how to bring it up to you
when you would always say
we have a crazy deep relationship sometimes i don't
get it myself.
How do you not get it?
I guess its what needed to happen for all the true colors to
come alive and for me to see that
i just don't belong.
So farewell!

Sleepers Vol.3

Last night Shane passed out on the couch
with his I'm feeling fat
button unbuttoned,
shirt a lil
up.
And posing!

Today...
He was so pooped from the
zoo
that he took a
power nap
on his
laptop
(haha power nap on his laptop I'm so funny)



Brittany passed out on the chair next
to Shane
arm on his leg.
And his arm grabbing hers...
"I'll never let go"

Love Language

I decided that today i wanted to figure out my love language because i've heard so much about it in my sister's ward back when she lived in boston i think i took it but i dont remember what i came out with any who i took the test.

My Scores

8	Words of Affirmation
9	Quality Time
5	Receiving Gifts
2	Acts of Service
6	Physical Touch

In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.

where are they?

Back in July 2007 i posted a blog on two friends
i had and have since moved away
and curious
to where they are now.
Well an update i came across Kate Howell on facebook,
glad to know she is still alive hehe!
Were friends
but probably not as close
as we were when
nothing mattered back as a
kid.
As for...
Adrian Arce
still have no idea where he is
I miss him!
I need to write him another letter.
Even though i don't get a response i still enjoy writing them, someone gets them
i mean they don't get returned!
So where are you Adrian?
you still alive?
