What's a Word that Rhymes with 'Rhyme?'

Dear Reader,


I had this poetic-ish insight the other day. Let me know what you think!

There are many takes on love on life. I compare mine to a jacket and a tie.
The tie, so rich a purple, makes me look good and clean-cut; the jacket a little rough.
The jacket is heavy and worth a lot, yet the tie is pretty tough.
The tie came from a friend, the jacket from a lover, from which I could never recover. 
The tie has several missing strands from years of use, but good sentimental value.
The jacket keeps me warm and picks me up while feeling blue. 
They are both part of my life, despite not being equal. 
Both, however, affect my heart and cause it to be full.
I will hold them both dear, but we will see if they will return the favor. 

However, leaving the poetry, there is another aspect to these two articles of clothing. I wear both of them every Sunday. What significance does that have? It is the Lord's day. It represents very well how both of them are. They are both inseparably connected with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

It might not make a whole lot of sense, but I wanted to write it down because I liked it.

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated
