Brothers Scott and Jordan singing part 2

Ok I said I'd get the other music video from the brothers Scott and Jordan. I think you'll enjoy this video as well. This video got a lot of laughs when we saw it in a recent work mtg.

Note on the video..."Scott and Jordan were asked to create a fun custom farewell song to a long standing employee at Novell. Played at her farewell party. Lyrics: Sheryl I'm going to miss you and I don't even know you, ..."

The Netherlands Song

This music video was written, recorded, filmed and edited in one day to add to a project that my friend's daughter had to do based on the Netherlands for her 9th grade class. Written and performed by Scott and Jordan Dastrup.

I think my friends sons are entertaining to listen to.

The Interview With God

The Interview With God Poem

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

Sneak Peek: Pixar's new movie 'Up'

From Disney, Pixar comes “Up,” a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. What he doesn't count on is a stowaway 8 yr. old Russell.

Wolf Moon Tonight

Tonight we will get the opportunity to see the Wolf Moon. Which means it will look like the biggest and brightest ones of the year 2009.

• Full Wolf Moon - January Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon. (According to the Farmers Almanac)

It will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA.






There are two songs that I make as a tribute for this evening:

Hungry Like A Wolf - Duran Duran


Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London

I'm Grateful For Our Woodburning Stove

It's only been only been one day but I am missing my oldest daughter Justine. She's left for school, BYU-ID and hopefully will adjust well for not being at home. I hope that we have done our job by teaching her correct principles so that she will govern herself. She probably will not see these thoughts but we are keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.

Man Can Fly

wingsuit base jumping from Ali on Vimeo.

If you see any web video in 2009 this should be it.

Video quote:
""At the beginning of wingsuit base jumping, we were trying to get as far from the wall as possible, so basically clearing up the whole thing, and now it's getting boring so we play around."

Their playing around meant that they would get so close to the cliff walls they would touch them with their fingers while flying past at 100 mph.
