Don't judge a book by its...

Covers. I love them. I think they are so fantastic. You take a song that is essentially great already and turn it into an acoustic version that is EVEN BETTER than the original! It blows my mind how creative people are... Heavenly Father really has blessed this earth with so much talent and I feel so grateful to be exposed to all of it.  So, now, this is me exposing you to some of my favorites.

Taylor's Swift's "Love Story" sung from Romeo's perspective. Make sure you can hear the lyrics. SO cute!

This arrangement... Brilliant. There are no other words to describe it. Just brilliant.

And this one... Just make sure you watch it!

Hey Girl.

Did you guys watch stake conference on Sunday? Well, if you did, then I think you'll appreciate this...

You know those pictures that people post about Ryan Gosling? The ones that are like "Hey girl..." and then say something super sexy that's really only sexy cos it's Ryan Gosling? Like these:

You can't tell me that those phrases would be as attractive if they weren't next to Ryan Gosling's face, right?!? Picture this: the creepy old guy in the single's ward who hasn't gotten married yet cos who knows why coming up and saying this to you? Not as attractive. And that's a fact. Anyways, I saw one about the talk that Elder Oaks gave on Sunday and the sheer hilarity made me feel like it needed to be shared. Enjoy.

Creative Procrastination

I'm not a Pinterest addict. I just never got into it. However, I'm 100% addicted to this site called "CraftGawker". It's Pinterest for crafts. And I LOVE it! There are so many cute ideas and most of them are DIY (do-it-yourself) so it's perfect for when I get bored and have nothing to do...

And then, there are those times when I have TONS of things to do and yet I still decide to not do them. That was this weekend. But, the product of my procrastination is this awesome melted crayon art that now sits above my desk. Pretty sweet, huh? :)

Mazel Tov

Right now, I'm taking this class called "Families in World Religions". I love it because it talks about how families fit into some of the major world religions. The last few class periods, we've been watching this movie that follows a Jewish family who lives in Jerusalem. It takes place during one of the major religious festivals called Sukkot, or Feast of the Tabernacles. Not ever having learned a lot about Jewish culture before, it was interesting to watch and compare their worship rituals to my own.

Usually, I'll read my scriptures and say my prayers in the morning and then not think about it until I do it again at night. However, in this movie, it showed the husband and the wife continually praising God. Out loud, most of the time. They read their scriptures, said multiple prayers throughout the day, and the husband went to a worship service every morning. They were so faithful that God would let everything work out in their lives that it became a major theme of the movie. I guess you can say that this media had a good effect on me because it's helping me to realize that there is still so much more that I can do. It's important for me to never stop trying to be better because the fact of the matter is that I'm not perfect yet. But, that's still okay... :)

A Little Old School

Let's talk about how I am in love with the Michael Jackson station on Pandora... Think about this: a compilation of MJ, the Bee Gee's, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Prince, and Stevie Wonder. There is a heaven on earth and I found it. In Pandora. I'll listen to it at work sometimes and it's literally busting out such good songs that I cannot concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing. It's awful but I just can't stop listening to it. I'm addicted.

And, can we also talk about how much I love this song even though it kinda doesn't make any sense? I don't know what about it makes it so catchy but imagine me doing the Carlton dance around my apartment, jammin to this song... It makes my life... I mean, look at how hairy their chests are... It's gotta be a life-maker for anybody...

Just Feeling Old at 20

Let's be honest. I LOVE--basically with a fiery, burning passion--the Price is Right. Sometimes, it's the reason why I get up in the morning, just so that I can watch it. It's my life goal to be a contestant someday. And, believe me, it will happen.

Anyways... so you know how commercials during shows are geared towards the audience that the TV people think are watching the shows? Well, that must mean I'm a 70-year-old with limited mobility. Literally, every single time I watch the Price is Right, a commercial comes on advertising that you can get a power chair from "The Scooter Store" or "Hoveround". I bet you didn't know that you can regain your mobility at little or no cost to you. I did. I bet you didn't know that there's a black man who can bust out the Hoveround theme song. I did. I bet you didn't know that the Scooter Store will give you a lighted magnifier just for calling but that Hoveround will include a handy tote bag AND a sturdy cup holder AND a limited edition travel mug when you buy your power chair. Yeah. I did.
Let's just say that I wish the TV people would realize that not everyone who watches daytime television has not lost the use of their limbs. But, since we're talking about it... Go on. Which one would YOU choose? :)

THE SCOOTER STORE: My favorite question is when they ask "Have you fallen in the past 12 months?" Please. Sign me up right now.
