Jose can you see?

Aloha!
So, things have been getting better. I'm not in a fog all day anymore, so that's a positive thing! I also moved, which has been AMAZING! I can't tell you in words of how amazing my new roommates are. I have pictures...once I find my camera! ;)

I have to say that life is good. I have had the most amazing experiences in this last week and almost a half. It's AWESOME to know that I am loved and that people care about me. :D

I'm pretty stoked about next month. This month is preparing for it. ;) I'm going back to HAWAII!

WOO HOO!!!

I get to go back for a family reunion, and seeing as how we had a huge piece of family craziness this last month, it really will be a 'reunion' of sorts. :) IDK. I'm to the point where I know I need to go and see the fam bam, so it will be awesome. :)

Bonus--I have two different gigs this weekend. :) I'm pretty stoked about it.

All in all a pretty uneventful couple of weeks. Moving, EPIC Bowling, hanging out every night. :) I have NO complaints. I will be posting pics later this week.

OH! I almost forgot! So, Susi and I went to Las Vegas last weekend to look for our friend/former ward member Steven Koecher. He went missing last year in Henderson, and they have been looking for him ever since. I have to tell you that I didn't really know him all that well, but I am more than willing to look for him. He was a nice guy.

Anyway, this search was focused on looking for him on the bus system in Las Vegas. We rode buses in teams and tried to spot him. It was a sobering experience. I saw what a monumental task that his family has been facing. It really made me grateful for my family and our circumstances. We may not all have it together, but together we have it all. :)

I am also looking to make some pretty radical personal changes in the next couple of months. I've come to the realization that I need change. Not a scenery change, or an aesthetic change, but a change for my soul. I have been stagnant, and that is NOT good. It's time to try a little harder and get off my elemu (aka butt in Hawaiian). So, yeah. That's another thing I'm 'gearing up' for.

Another side note: My allergies have been INSANE this year. CRAZINESS! 

STORY: Three, almost four weeks ago, I rented some redbox movies. I watched them in the little spare time that I had, and therefore they were in random places. Aside from a hectic schedule, I was also moving. Three weeks later, I get a charge on my account for the movies (a price that I will not disclose...because it was high. :() So...after asking everyone around what that meant, I am taking it to mean that I am now the proud owner of three more movies. I guess it's good because I like all three of them. :)

I never knew that that happened after an allotted period of time. I guess I need to read the fine print next time! ;)

LYRIC TIME!!! lol. Man. I haven't really been on the up and up with music lately, but here is a good one. :) 

Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard
Words and Music by: Paul Simon

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
Its against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way

I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way

I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
