So my mom showed me this interesting site that narrows down your beliefs into particular religions.
It's pretty interesting, try it out.

"Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-MaticTM knows. Answer 20 questions about your concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, and more, and Belief-O-Matic™ will tell you what religion (if any) you practice...or ought to consider practicing.

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold synopsis is... Susie Salmon, a fourteen-year-old girl, is murdered by her next-door neighbor in suburban Pennsylvania. She tells the story of her family's reaction and subsequent disintegration after her own murder.

It has been turned into a major motion picture, directed by Peter Jackson and is set to be released December 11, 2009.
I just finished reading it and I am so excited to see how it turns out.
This book is huge so I know they won't be able to include everything but the preview seems to have some real potential.

**note to would be readers...
There are a few graphic parts (i.e. the actual murder, and other adult content) so I wouldn't recommend this book for the younger audience

I'm trying to put my thoughts together and all I can come up with is wow... this book is astounding.
There is so much sadness and loss. Most of my time reading was spent wondering if I could handle all of it... I couldn't imagine what I would do if any of that were to happen.

"Halfway Gone" by Lifehouse

You were always hard to hold
So letting go ain't easy
I'm hanging on but growing cold
While my mind is leaving

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep
Cause you're halfway gone and I'm on way
And I'm feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause I'm halfway in but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone
You got one foot out the door
And choking on the other
Always think there's something more
It's just around the corner

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep
Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on way
And I'm feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way
And I'm feelin, feelin feelin this way
Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (wohoww wohoww)
I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (wohoww wohoww)
Now I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone
Don't take too long, don't take too long
Cause I'm on my way
If you take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on way
And I'm feeling, feelin I'm feelin this way
Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way
And I'm feelin , feelin feelin this way
Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (wohoww wohoww)
Cause I'm halfway gone, and I'm halfway gone (wohoww wohoww)
Cause I'm halfway gone, yeah I'm halfway gone

"Someday" by Rob Thomas

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it’s good to be someone

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow

‘Cuz maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
We’ll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just to feel better now
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

Just something to think about...

Habitat for Humanity

Yesterday was one of the most rewarding days of my college career.

My pre-law fraternity Phi Alpha Delta participated in a Habitat for Humanity build. We helped with the framing of the roof on a house in Phoenix to a kind, grateful and deserving family.
I was up at 6:30am and building by 8am until almost 2pm. It was such an amazing experience. I really felt like something I was doing was making an immediate difference in another persons life.
I don't really know how to describe what I was thinking other than that... I can't find the words.
But it was nice being a part of such an important group and although I didn't say much I enjoyed just listening and observing.

If you ever get an opportunity to be a part of something like this, take advantage of it. I took more out of it than just another community service project and I hope that everyone can have such a positive experience and know these feelings.



... and yes I am sooo sore! I don't think I've ever performed so much manual labor in 1 day. But it was all totally worth it!

New project!

So I decided (after a helpful suggestion) to start a blog about movies!

I didn't want it to interfere with my random ramblings of this one so I started a whole new one.
