Happy Holidays
I don't get to go home for the Holidays this year (which I can't think about or I might have a small-ish break down) so moving on to the fact that I get to have a New York Christmas & New Year Eve which am pretty stoked for! Can you say watch the ball drop from Aubrey's rooftop...

but once you watch it, you will be over any copyright infringement
harsh feeling issues you may have towards me.

and cuts my breath short.

falling for a swish of light.

I read this post earlier in the week and it's surprised me how much its come up in my conversation. Lately I've been having a hard time transferring exactly what this brain of mine is thinking into coherent words and usually it just seems to come out wrong. There are parts in this blog...
kind of, sort of, technically.. a year?
This happened exactly one year ago today. whaaaa? New York has officially been in my life for a year! It was exactly a year ago I decided to move out here with out a plan, with only a shannon and measly amount of money in my bank account.
I had no idea a year ago that the decison I made...
Don't swim in the water
I went for a walk today along the Hudson
which has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city.
If you can get over this fact (which just might be my favorite article title of all time),
you can find some real beauty in the place.
Took some pictures,
made a few realizations...
A Weekend in CT
Just got back from the one of the best weekends spent in Conneticut.
Good food, good company, only made better by some much needed guidance from General Conference.
More pictures to come.
Utah in less than two days.

What would pursuade almost 2 million people to live on a island the size of my pinky finger? (No, that number doesn't even included the millions and millions of people who commute into the city everyday or any of the tourists.)
This is how my brain see's it. It's like everyone in the world...
Gary Ceran
I've listened to this podcast twice now.
This man is absolutly incrediable.
He lost his wife and two kids in a car crash involving a drunk driver.
Not to mention he and his wife lost five children previous to the crash.
The things he has gone through makes the stress...
gratitude at a late hour
Heavenly Father is patient with me. He is kind and forgiving when I make the same mistake for the thousandth time. He knows every thing about me. Every weakness, every imperfection. & yet somehow he still manages to love me and bless my life in countless ways. He is blessing me with this...
Hurricane what?
Its been all emergency preparation/hurry and grab water flashlights and canned goods at the grocery store before it runs out here in NYC. I am pretty sure these past few days city has been having a collective panic attack all together. Between this hurricane and the earthquake a few days ago its been one strange week out here.
But all is well my friends. Me and my apartment are well stocked up for...
And you thought it wasn't possible to star gaze in NYC.
you were so wrong.
do you see those 3 dots??
straight up beautiful.
it just doesn't get better folks...
and don't get mad, more music.
(feel free to collectivity groan)
I have a problem where my subconscious nags at me
until I share my musical findings with the blogging world.
It's a curse...

a wedding in the catskill's
Over the weekend I assisted on a wedding in the Catskill Mountains where we took a chair lift up to where the ceremony took place. It was incredible how great it felt getting out of the city, even if it was for work and just for 24 hours. I love my city but I've been missing nature in my life...

This quote is a subject that keeps coming up in conversations lately and it pretty much sums up what i have been feeling lately. My experience out here has been, well, lets just say it's had it's ups and downs. Until my move a couple months ago into Manhattan, I could not wait...
Lighten Up
About a year ago I posted a quote here on the blog. During my talk yesterday I used more quotes from Chieko Okazaki's* book Lighten Up and I thought I would share here as well.
"If there is one great constant in the universe is the unfailing love of the Savior, the other great constant is his unfailing respect for human agency. He will not override your will, even for your...
because its a requirement to share good music
VCR - The XX by tracks_arte
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal by subpop
Harvest Moon - Neil Young by houligen
and because I am trying to take life for today, and not for what it was or will be,
Every time I look out my window this is what I...

I am giving a talk in church on sunday. And to be honest, the rough draft has sort of turned into a Harry Potter, Buddhism fest. I may even throw in there a little Judaism and Confucianism.How do you feel about it?
I feel its gonna be a party.
