Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

What up peeps?? Just for the record, I am watching C-SPAN right now. And they're talking about the Tax Code. I think I've reached an all time low in my TV consumption...

I know you all want to know how Las Vegas was. So, I'll tell you. IT WAS AWESOME!! Seriously, it rocked. I was really nervous heading into the tournament because I only played collegiate sports before my mission when I played rugby at Northern Arizona University, but if I remember right we lost to the Arizona State High School Champions. Its because all the guys on the team were doing crack before the games and drinking beer during the water breaks... Well, I just wanted to go in and catch a frisbee. So I did it. Then I just wanted to catch a touchdown - so I did it. Then I wanted to lay-out in the endzone for a touchdown. If you were wondering what a layout is, look below \/ \/

So I did. BYU won five games, lost zero. We beat teams like the Air Force Academy, Santa Clara, Lewis and Clark, Eastern Michigan, and ASUZA (I think). The closest any team got was 8-13. We stomped. But then we  forfeited all of our Sunday games and lost the tournament. Thats what happens when you play for BYU.

While I was gone, my roommates were a little bit crazy. Among other things, so many other things, they made this commercial for our webshow Between Two Arms:





GO HERE TO BE AMAZED!

My life has had a lot of changes in it recently. I like the lyrics from David Bowie's song "Changes."

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same

His advice to dealing with change? "Turn and face the strain." Pretty good advice. Plus I just like the word "impermanence." It feels good coming off the tongue. Impermanence. Also, I'm just glad that I can be someone that knows I'm not in the driver seat here, that there is meaning and purpose in everything.

A quote for the road: "And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better."

That's Wassup :)
