You drive me crazy

Dear Readers,

In no way do I support Brittany Spears, but her song "You drive me crazy" so accurately describes this week that the catchy tune has been stuck in my head. Maybe I'll have to think of another song like "Crazy Train." Getting to the point, this week brings a lot of action for me and everyone else.

First off, I have to share the most exciting news of my week. I am officially an member of one the largest fraternities on this earth: the Melchezidik Priesthood. That's right, on Sunday I was sustained in stake conference and then ordained an elder later in the afternoon. It may seem obvious, but I feel this overwhelming sense of more responsibility. Whatever the case, I feel really great. :)

This week brings many a final meeting for various groups as our high school career comes to an end. Tomorrow is our last band concert of the year, during which all the seniors will be recognized for their participation in the instrumental music program. Our Jazz Band is relatively young this year, with only four seniors out of the twenty or so in the group. I'm sad to have it come to an end.

We also have a senior testimony meeting this week. I can't say I'm looking forward to this meeting. Feeling the spirit will be great, but crying will go on a rampage through the group of seniors who attend. The tears might come to my eyes and I don't like that idea.

Choir also has an end, which has far surpassed its due date. The seniors will also be getting awards at the choir barbeque, but they won't mean as much due to the fact that most of them are lame awards. I saw one today that was entitled the "Mr. Personal Agenda" award. Talk about lame credits. Although, getting these awards will sum up a the pretty lame year we had in the choir program.

By far, the most exciting event this week takes place on Saturday. Today we, a few guys, planned out what we would like to do on that day for a group date to the Olympus Senior Prom. The night doesn't sound too extravegant, but I can garuantee it will make for a good time.

Yes siree, this week already has been and will be a great, busy week. I'm already tired. ;)

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
