Low Rider, Donny...Donny, Low Rider

When I think of getting pumped for an event, I think of this.

........Ok, let's ride.

Saturday, 9, and The Beatles

	The Rocket Summer - Saturday
	Found at skreemr.com

Ahhhhh, the beauty of a Saturday. Yesterday, I was plagued by school, homework, and upcoming tests. But today, today is Saturday. The past is the past and the future is the future. Right now, however, it's Saturday. :D

Last night I hit up a Bless the Martyr show in Meridian. It was a fun show, and afterwords I went out with the band (they're all friends of mine) to Taco Bell. That's all fine and dandy, but by the time I got back it was close to 1:15am. That, combined with my having to get up every morning for either school or work at 5:45 left me absolutely and completely exhausted.

Which brings us to today. Saturday :) I slept in until noon, and woke with ideas in my head and a saying in my heart. "Carpe Diem." So, that's exactly what I decided to do.
After meeting up with a couple of my friends, Austin and Collin, we headed off to the Downtown Edwards to catch an afternoon showing of Shane Acker / TimBurton's 9.

9 was a fine movie, not great, but not awful. I found myself appreciating the CGI and animation more then anything else (the plot included.) If your expecting to see some kind of cartoon action/adventure movie, think again. 9 showed exactly what can be done when writers, actors, and special effect wizards (mainly the latter) put their minds together. 9 was no Nightmare Before Christmas, nor was it any kind of animated Wanted. It was a very pretty fireworks show. Once the fireworks ended, I was glad I had seen it, but also glad I had only paid matinee prices combined with a student discount (BODO Edwards FTW).

And now, after returning from 9, I find myself on my living room couch listening to The Beatles Love album. If you haven't listened to it yet, go buy it.

Could this Saturday get any better? Oh yeah, I've got my sisters birthday party and I get to see my girlfriend tonight!

How's your Saturday going?

First Week of School

Here's a vlog about my first week of school:

Back to school

I realize this is a little late, but here's a vlog I recorded a couple days back while at work. It's my musings about getting back to school.
Just some thoughts over coffee, nothing too heavy, too deep.

I'll do another one about how school actually has been, but for now, enjoy!

Changing politics, 5 minutes at a time

Screenr. If you tweet, you should check it out.

Watch this video my dad and I made:

The Mansfields visit Niagra Falls

Everybody, please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Now, brace yourselves!

My dad, the man who knows everyone

My dad is an amazing man of God. I admire his witty sense of humor, his ability to connect people and projects, and his awesome problem solving ability. Something else about my dad that has always fascinated me is his ability, no matter where we are, to know someone. I've been in the most obscure of places, only to be delayed by my father stopping to talk to that guy he met back in whatchamacallit doing that thing with that dude.

So, yesterday we decided to test this theory: does my dad indeed know people no matter where we are? The test location designated was the Buffalo, NY airport.

The Humans are Dead

After a couple requests, and finally grabbing the time needed, I have decided to actually do a new post! Amazing, right?

Anyways, just to do a brief recap of my last couple weeks:

• Connecticut was AMAZING. Check out WWIIhelmet.blogspot.com for full details
• School's like walking through thick mud.
• This weekend I saw Taken and Slumdog Millionaire. Both are AMAZING films- I would recommend them both.

Ok, enough recap.
I'm in a humorous mood :) Because of that, this post will contain youtube videos I find entertaining. I hope you will too!











Perhaps later I'll do a "deeper" post :)
