Later than Midnight

Copy and paste this to listen to while you read... Sorry I am not good at working these things.

As I typed the title of this blog, I thought of the song by Eric Clapton, "After Midnight, we gonna let it all hang out." Well I will not let it all hang out but I will spill a little bit more. Obviously that was not the song playing. So tonight I went to see "Angels and Demons" with my sisters Mckenna and Chelsea. First I would like to say that Ron Howard continues to be a favorite of mine. Second, "Where the Wild Things are" is going to be an awesome movie! Third, Tom Hanks is still good ole Tom Hanks. I liked the movie. It deepened my respect for the Catholic Church and those of other faiths. I don't like to think of myself as snootie but I guess sometimes I am. However, my religion teacher spoke about how we would not be where we are today if it weren't for other faiths and I know that that is true.

Next topic at hand- Driving from Rexburg, ID to Provo, UT. I don't know if this is just me and maybe it was just a re-realization, but not everything thinks the way that I do. For instance, Andrew and I were riding with two others guys that were good guys but had different outlooks on what a relationship was and how that should be held. In my opinion I thought it was kind of sad to hear the way that they were talking about girls. Just about how they kiss and don't want anything else, I guess it goes back to the NCMO idea. For those of you who don't know what that means, it stands for Non-Commital Make-Out Session. Yeah... I am not impressed. I just think back to an article I read about how important kisses are.

Okay, let's be honest. I really don't know what Blogs are for. What am I supposed to put on here? Should I be talking about these things or should I put it in a journal. Also, why do I have a blog, it's like I am saying, "Please! Someone read my inner-most secrets (even though I don't put too much personal stuff on here)," when I do my best not to tell people secrets. Maybe it's a place for repentance. I see things I don't like but can't voice, so I type it "annonymously" and decide that I am going to change it in my own life.

.-'-.Another point.-'-. I think it interesting so many people are affected by the little things that happen in everyday life. My decision to sleep in and not go to a yard sale looking for old bikes has an effect/affect(I am no english major) on the people that see me riding my bike, the people I talk to, and so forth. It is interesting to think that I will never know what effect I had on those that see me, I speak to or interact with. You never know what will happen because you decided to smile at that little kid that had been waiting in the airport for 4 hours on a layover. Or the effect that you had on her mother because she was scrambling for ideas as to what her children will do for the next 2 hours and you let them play chess on your computer. It's depressing sometimes because you don't see what you do, but the idea of it is overwhelming. How could you comprehend all of those things.

Last thing, I don’t know why brand new college kids stay up forever wasting time....I know I am saying that at 2:32 AM but the main reason is that I am staying with Mckenna’s friends. They’ve been coming in and out for and hour and are now playing Nintendo TNMT on the X box.
