under the covers (playlist for 2/6-2/12)

I believe that a good cover affords you the opportunity to re-discover, evaluate, fall in love, with long forgotten songs or the over worked songs of the present.  Many of the following covers actually "un-covered" songs that I thought I didn't like.

I love this photo...for a lot of reasons. Can you believe that it was taken months ago?

cup of ambition...(playlist for January 30 - February 5)

1) Confession:  I love Dolly Parton...many a bad day drive home has been spent singing a long with her (if you are looking for a back-up singer Dolly I am here waiting).

2) I cannot wait until March when I get to see this guy and Cary Brothers...he is quickly becoming my new favorite.

3) Awful video....amazing song (and artist)

4) One of my all time favorites...

5) The Civil Wars have been one of my favorite duos for a long time.  In celebration of their new album one of my favorite singles from them.

6) Sometimes I find myself liking artists that I would never have guessed I would have.  Marina and the Diamonds falls into that category.

7) I can't tell you how excited I have been for Adele's new album.  Since getting it I have been listening to it 90% of the time...

8) It's songs like this that make me realize that the gap between my generation and my parents' might not be that large...

kul ‘am wa antum bikhair! aka new year = new goals

although I am less than thrilled at my current prospects (in all aspects) I have decided that instead of moping I am going to

“wake-up and die right” as my father would say.

With that in mind here are a few of my goals for the new year…

1) wake-up after 1 “snoozing” session

2) blog more…(as I am not a very good blogger I feel like this post is already accomplishing this goal…)

3) read 52 books by the end of the year.

4) only go out to eat twice a week

5) try to understand the gospel outside of my own cultural context

6) find more amazing music (aka go to concerts more!!)

7) train for a MARATHON!!!!

These are all things that I have wanted to do for quite some time…and now that I am only working part-time and not going to school I have no excuses!

LOVE IT!!!

Registration

Dear BYU-

In the past, the registration process has caused me major headaches...tonight the server would not let me in for 10 mins. Once I was let in....you routinely crashed, which is also a headache inducer. When I finally did get in and tried to register for classes...I found out many of them are not even offered fall semester....

Which all leads up to me getting a freakishly amazingly spectacularly fantasitc schedule for the fall....wait what?

Yep that is right...I pretty much have the easiest fall semester of my life...followed by what will be the easiest winter semester. In the fall I am registered for 7 classes...4 of which are 1 credit classes. That is right I have four 1 credit classes...3 of which are lecture only classes.

I have decide that being a senior and deciding to add a year (or a management minor) onto the college experience is the wisest decision ever.

Oh, did I mention that I will only have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. That is right...I will have the honor or having a 5 day weekend!!! hahahaha.

I gloat because last week I worked 50 hours between my two jobs (let us not forget I go to school full time as well) and this week isn't shaping up much better either. Additionally, I will have the "luxury" of attending school both spring and summer semester...the one week in between I will be at my work's annual grand convention.

All in all...if I can just get through the next 5 months, my fall will be my summer....

Steve Nash

I love Steve Nash...

Let me explain, I don't watch professional basketball. In fact I think the last time I saw an entire professional basketball game was....never.

Why do I love this man?

nough said.
