I want a tank.

"I want a tank."
"Well then, why don't you get one?"
"Because they cost several million dollars, not including floormats. I don't have that kind of money"
"Now wait a second, you're a consumer.  You have credit cards, right?"
"Yes, but how am I going to pay the credit card company?  They'll come after me."
"Don't be silly, you have a tank"

for july there can be no judgement, I don't care who you are, but the the theme is - Call Me Maybe....
I know, I know strange, or ridiculous, but I needed pure fun for july and that was it. I fought it as much as I could, but I listened to it over and over and over.

august I think I can redeem myself a little bit, but the theme is Chasing the Sun. The beginning lyrics explain my new relationship, plus the upbeatness of the song just keeps the summer vibes flowing.

these "business cards" came in the mail I don't remember ordering them.

welcome to the planet.

So it's mid-July, I kinda missed my mark for the June theme song. whoops. it was a hard decision, so many to choose from, yet none jumped out at me, until the end of the month. it's older, but a classic, I needed to hear it that day.

boy and his tiger.

Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?

Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.

Calvin: (after a long pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.

human settlement of mars in 2023.

Science-fiction is my favorite genre to read, so if this Norwegian company can really make this happen, it would prove that creativity and science is one of the best combinations that man-kind has.

"Mars One will establish the first human settlement on Mars in 2023. A habitable settlement will be waiting for the settlers when they land. The settlement will support them while they live and work on Mars the rest of their lives. Every two years after 2023 an additional crew will arrive, such that there is a real living, growing community on Mars. Mars One has created a technical plan for this mission that is as simple as possible. For every component of the mission we have identified at least one potential supplier. Mars One invites you to join us in this next giant leap for mankind!" -www.mars-one.com.

Science-fiction into non-fiction. All the more power to ya. Atleast these guys will take the chance.  And they want to make it very public, with a television show that follows the astronauts though everything from training to actual settlement. Might be worth watching.

Watch, it's kinda cool. 

may song.

it's june 2nd so it's over due for a [may] theme song. it took all month for this one to come through the wood work, even though it's been around for a very long time. it wasn't until I was driving up 500 south when it came on and it just fueled the fire of my excitement even more of my best friend finally being home.

may - sail - AWOLNATION

I am grateful.

I am so grateful for the priesthood. Having it in my home is the greatest blessing.
