Believers Never Die Tour!

Sunday night, my friend Tiffany and I went to a concert. We had been looking forward to it for a few months. The headlining band was Fall Out Boy, whom ive always wanted to see in concert! They were GREAT live. The other bands that performed were: Hey Monday, All time low, Cobra Starship, Metro Station, and of course Fall Out Boy. It was a REALLY awesome and entertaining show. Of course, I forgot my camera. I aksed the teenager sitting next to me if she would e-mail me the pictures she was taking. I gave her my address, but she has failed to do so. She kinda looked at me like i was loopy for asking her. The pics i got were taken with my phone. They arent that great, but they'll suffice. ALSO, i made a new playlist with one song each from the bands that played. So while youre reading other blogs, leave a window open with my blog and have a listen, they are all pretty good listens! Probably my favorite thing in the world to do is see bands play live! I love to do it and wish i could more often, money permitting. Enjoy!

My soul on the web.

Via the request by Mrs. Vikkie, i've decided to share some stuff i've been writing. I also wanted to put up some of my favorite artwork i've found on the web. SO.... gaze. and enjoy :) (i hope)

Don't let the silence get you down, though you've been sitting here for hours, hoping a voice could soon be found that speaks much louder than this music. For you're a little off colour and out for the count, don't let that get you down. Don't let the talking keep you up, if they're your friends they'll share your vision...And as the phone rings breaking the silence... they will figure out that you don't want to answer. For you're a little off colour and tired of the sound...Don't let it get you down. Don't let the people make you think that just because you're young you're useless, You know it's not naive to think that you can change the things around and that no man is an island. For I'd rather be a pebble in an ocean vast and drown alone, Than make no sound at all.

I NEED YOUR HELP!

Alright. I did this the past 2 years and this year i am helping with a new group of friends and collecting donations and participating in the AIDS walk. Any little bit helps. I am trying to give back a little. At times i may get down on myself, but I also realize that there are others out there that are way less fortunate than me and who are suffering. I, however, have my health and my amazing family and good friends. The following link is my personal donation page where u can donate any amount. Anything is greatly appreciated! Your donation will go towards support and advocacy for adults and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Nevada. AFAN works to reduce HIV infection through prevention education to eliminate fear, prejudice and the stigma associated with the disease. My link:

THANK YOU!!!!!!

P.S. I know this wasnt a life update... but i will be doing that as soon as something happens worth talking about :) Love you all!

I pull out my shotty and shoot fool's like John Gotti

This past weekend was my cousin kristin's 27th birthday. Her and her hubby Jason were going up to New Harmony to spend her birthday up there so I tagged along. It was a good time. We got freakin stuck in the snow in their car though! That was interesting. We went into Cedar for just a bit. We had Costa Vida... which saved my life cause i have had the most intense craving for their sweet pork enchiladas! So it put a nice little grin on my face to get something i was desiring! Later Saturday night we were back in Harmony and Aunt Carla made a chocolate fountain and we had a bunch of treatsies. We proceeded to put in a cd entitled "90's dance songs" that my aunt used to use back when she taught areobics. We had a pants off dance off in the kitchen and danced the night away. Sunday morning Curtis, KC, Jason, Me, and Jason's niece Alyssa went shooting up the canyon by the cattle guard. It was a muddy mess but it was still fun. I shot the 22, the 12 guage, and Jasons 9mm. I was glad to spend time with my extended fam! Who would trust me with a gun? haha! KC thought he was funny sneakin in the pic.

Curtis with the 9. He's pretty legit.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

It seemed like any typical crisp winter friday night in vegas. I was home alone scrounging for food in the kitchen. The front door opened and Jess walks in. I wasnt expecting to see her! I didnt know she was commin down. SO Jess had the bright idea that we should go for a bike ride on my new bike and she would take Moms new pink beach cruiser.
We only had like 45 minutes of daylight left. We headed up the road laughing at one another cause it had been so long since either of us has been on a bike. We get maybe a mile away from the house when my cell phone falls outta my pocket. So i pull on my breaks. My bike and I come to a hault.... and so do my handle bars. They came off the bike!!!! I was like WHAT THE DEUCE?!?! So i put the handle bars back in the socket but they wouldnt attach right, so i was unable to control my front tire. I couldnt even walk along side my bike let alone ride it cause i had no control... the front tire was all skiwampitz! IT JUST SO HAPPENS that there was an Albertsons shopping cart on the side of the rode right where we had our little mishap. Jess and I put my bike in the shopping cart and i had to push the bike home (roughly about 1 mile, not sure) Oh my heck it was so embarrasing! i can imagine people cracking up.... cause i know me and jess would be rollin on the ground if we saw such a show! She laughed at me the whole way home.... it was a pretty funny time. we took a few pics with the cell phone to capture the moment.
Im sure there will be many more adventures to tell of bike rides.... if you know how "special" i am.... i always get myself into some sort of mess!

The bike in the shoppin cart

The freakin handlebars came off!!!!

What we fear most

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,
It is our light not darkness that most frightens us,
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesnt serve the world.
Theres nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Its not just in some of us; its in everyone.
And as 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.

This weekend in Bootytah

Lou, Cub, and I at the SUU game.
This weekend was pretty fun. I was up in Cedar with the family for a funeral. I froze my butt off! it snowed 6 inches while we were there and honestly I have no idea how i used to live there! I guess i was a trooper back then but as of now i am officially a wimp in the cold! I cant believe how close to Christmas it's getting! Holy crap! Another year down the crapper. HAHA. While in Cedar I hung out with my friend Cub (Kaitlyn) most of the time. We honestly are so goofy together. We made a CD of the most random songs... like back from the 90's. All her roomates were gone for the holidays so we put the CD in while we were in the kitchen and we had a dance party! Oh my heck if you would have seen us you would have died. I busted out the sprinkler, the fax machine, and many more moves that I invented! Later we went to the SUU girls and boys basketball game. The girls won and the boys game was a close and intense game, but we ended up losing. I got to see Lindi (Lou) at the game and it was so good to see her! I miss her.

Well this week i'll be wishing i had the money to go buy Christmas presents for everyone I love but living on your own isn't cheap! And i'm pretty upset I dont have the money to do what i'd like to do for my friends and family. And in the words of George Costanza, "HAPPY FESTIVUS!"

IT'S A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!

Oh and also.. i heard a song today on my ipod that made me tear up (Shon, go look this one up.. it's on Anberlins new CD and the song is called "Breathe") for the rest of you... here are some of the lyrics:

"This is surrenderTo a war-torn life I've lived.Scars and stripes foreverIn need of change I can't resist.No need to hide anything anymore.Can't return to who I was before.I can finally breathe.Suddenly alive.I can finally move.The world feels revived.This long of a struggleFinally opened up my eyes.Revolution's not easyWith a Civil War on the inside.No need to hide anything anymore.Can't return to who I was before.I can finally breathe.Suddenly alive.I can finally move.'Cause I realize.I can finally breathe.Suddenly alive.I can finally move.The world feels revived."
