Bubbly (cover)

This one is a great one from Colbie Caillat.

Didn't Even Notice

So, this is an older song and Video, but I just decided I am going to try and get a new video up every week. Some of the songs will be originals written by yours truly, others will be Cover songs. I wrote this one a while ago and this is a performance at Poetry and a Beverage (basically an open mic night) at USU.



I came when you called
I did what you asked
Gave you everything you wanted
I offered my help
I offered my heart
phrased words so they complimented

Sometimes love don't feel like it should
Sometimes love..stops your every move
and..I took a chance on you-
but you didn't even notice

Didn't even notice

I'm sick of all the games
sick of all the lies
all the times I comprimised for
I let down my guard
let you slash inside
where I hide dreams behind locked doors

Sometimes love don't feel like it should
sometimes love stops your every move
and I took a chance on you-
but you didn't even notice

Didn't even notice

Just walk away- that's fine
I will move on- in time
but when you look back you'll see
you gave up any chance with me

You didn't even notice

I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul

Remember how Adam Sandler goes off on "The Puppy Who Lost His Way" in Billy Madison? And the Principal says "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to your response" ? With this new job I feel an awful lot like that Principal.

First of all, I went to Philadelphia. This is all I saw:



That's the view from my balcony at the hotel. Neat eh?

But this experience in Philly did prove eventful for me. I had a very eye opening experience. You know what that is? People are dumb. Seriously dumb. There are way too many people in this world with little money who are willing to give that money out.

I work for a company who does a training session on Auction Teacher. Basically this program shows people how to use ebay to make a living. There are companies out there who will sell you a lot of products for dirt cheap and all you have to do is sell their product for them. So basically you list the item for them and handle all the customer service. It is actually a good program. All I do is answer questions, help with paper work and set up for the seminar.

So at this training session/seminar we have a speaker who talks a little about which companies to work with and basically gives you a check list to get started. He also will talk about a few other things and then we sell them a couple packages that will help out their business.

People are dumb. First of all, some of the questions people have about this and ebay are ridiculous. I honestly feel like I lose intelligence after talking to some of these people. I didn't know there were this many dumb people in the world.

Now, it's really okay if you don't know anything about a computer and the internet, but you probably shouldn't start a company where you need that knowledge if you don't have it.

You also shouldn't be giving me your welfare check. Maybe some of them will actually use this and make money, but I guarantee the majority of people don't do it.

I have come to the conclusion that it is very easy to make a lot of money. All you need is a hotel ballroom full of stupid people.

Chillin out, Maxin, Relaxin All Cool

With the new job I will be traveling a lot. Ok, that's basically all I do is travel. I will probably be in 3 or 4 different states every week. That is neat. Looks like I better get used to flying.

This week it's Philidelphia. I am only doing one day for the first couple weeks. I would ask if there is anything cool to see in Philly, but I really wont have much time to do anything on this trip. I fly across the country and have to head straight to the hotel. And fly back early Friday morning. Maybe I can at least grab a philly sandwhich sometime along the way...

Maybe I'll get some pictures... maybe not. We'll see.

Waiting For Wednesday

(Originally posted on January 31, 2007)




First of all.. Did you know there is a band and a song by Lisa Loeb called Waiting For Wednesday? I didn't either til yesterday. That kinda bugs, I really thought I was completely original with that one.

Well after posting such a happy song last time, I'll post a break-up song this time. It fits well for my life for multiple reasons at this time actually.


Five Months of pain with occasional bliss
left me abused and alone.
I don't know where I signed up for this
but I'm packing up to go home.

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for Wednesday

Seeing her smile and seeing her laugh
tears me apart every day.
Convincing my heart what I know in my mind
to heal that's the only way

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for Wednesday

When Wednesday comes I pray to the Lord,
it brings to me peace of mind
When Wednesday goes still praying my Lord
You'll take this thorn from my side

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for Wednesday

Now I am waiting for you
I'm still waiting for you
Just waiting for Wednesday

Inspiration for the Underachieving

Who needs some motivation? I was just watching Coach Carter and was reminded of this great quote. I'll also put another one of my favorites under it.

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson


This one is on the Air Jordan shoe commercial. But I love it

It's not about the shoes.
It's about knowing where you're going,
Not forgetting where you started.
It's about having the courage to fail,
Not breaking when you are broken.
Taking everything you've been given and making something better.
It's about work before glory.
And what's inside of you.
It's doing what they say you can't.
It's not about the shoes, It's what you do in them.
It's about being who you were born to be.
Become Legendary.

There you go. There is your pick me up for the day

Thanks Hay. Now I feel obligated.

A. The rules are posted at the beginning.
B. Each person answers the questions about themselves
C. At the end of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names; then goes to there blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged.

10 years ago:
In February of 1998 I was in the 9th grade at Riverview Junior High School. I was probably 5'9" or 5'10" and had size 14 feet and large ears. I was hanging out with Scott Davis and Nicole Burnett, and probably was just about to become friends with Matt Sundquist. I was a good kid and I think I still loved Angie Campasano. I loved her for 2 years. I think I was still in the really loud stage of my life but was just about to realize people didn't like really loud annoying people.

5 Things on my to do list:
(1) Get a job. I should hear back from Auction Teacher by Friday or Tuesday
(2) Fix my Neon. Stupid car hasn't even ran half the time I've had it
(3) Donate my Galant to Cars for Kidneys
(4) Get into the studio and record an album
(5) Get back up to Logan for a couple days

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
Invest a lot of the money. I want to make sure I'll have money for my future. Buy a nice house for myself. I am going to customize it so I have my music room in the basement and I'd fill the music room with new Guitars, a nice keyboard, a drum set and sound equipment. Buy a few new cars. And I'd buy everyone in my immediate family a house as well. Oh yeah, and I would travel for a while.

Jobs I have had:
It started out at Papa Murphey's, then A&W and Subway, a couple construction jobs, Tony Roma's, Convergy's (worst place ever), Little Professor Book Store, a camp for troubled teens, Dixie State College of Utah Recruiter, Best Buy, Lagoon and a TA for Public Speaking at USU.


3 of my bad habits:

1) When I perform my eyebrows go crazy. I don't know why, but I just can't control them

2) I check cougarboard, facebook and now my blog multiple times a day

3) If my mustache is getting long I constantly play with it with my tongue and dry out my lips

Things people don't know about me:

-I used to cry a lot when I was little. I got made fun of so much that I put a block on that emotion. I very rarely cry anymore.
-I've never really tried to master any specific skill. I feel like I can do a lot of things well, but nothing great.
-I have never been in a fight in my life
-Up until a couple years ago I wanted to be a professional athlete over a musician/singer
-I'm not as confident as I appear.

I'll tag RJ. You're it.
