Mobile Blog
May I draw your attention to my Mobile Blog? It is a cool feature on Blogger where I can send pics from my cell phone to go@blogger.com and it will automatically post them. You can see a link to it on the right side of this page, under Links. (Note: Since I switched to the Beta Blogger, and the Mobile Blog is not a Beta Blog I am unable to make it post onto this blog, so I have to make a link).

Quick News
Here's some quick news in my life:
* I was accepted to the "Meso America Tour 2007" !!! Way cool!
* I like marketing the Outdoor Program for BYUI. It's a great job - responsibility, creativity, flexibility, and working closely with the Outdoors.
* I rode my longboard from the Rexburg Temple to 2nd South without stopping. I even rode by a police car and an Ambulance who couldn't stop me as I zipped through campus.
P.S. Here was my Halloween Costume:

Drum!
I went to a show on Friday called "Drum!". It was really cool. Quick explanation: a visual and acoustic message about culture and people, and how we come together. The drum is the heart beat of Mother Earth. They had some awesome singers and musicians. I had one of them, with the deep voice, record a message for my voice mail. I also got the producer's email and he's going to send me a copy of a poem that was recited as part of the show. When I get that, I will post it on my blog so y'all can read it.

Moose Tracks
I received a phone call from my friend yesterday telling me that there was a moose skin on the side of the road. Really? (it fell off a truck who was hauling animal skins from a factory or something).
To the average person, this would be a disgusting artifact and should be left to decompose. However, to people like me (outdoorsy and nerdy), this is a valuable piece of material. It can be tanned and made into nice leather worth 200 dollars or more. So I made a trip to the location and luckily found it on the side of the road. It was huge! It's too dark to be Elk so we're assuming it's Moose skin.
I called my friend Connie (who is married and has a house) and her backyard is already set up for tanning hides (note: "already set up for tanning hides" ... true outdoor nerds). I live in a small apartment and do not have the space or tools, so I have to enlist the help of others.
And then Katt. So Katt. Well. Katt. Hmmm. Katt. We'll just leave it at that. Don't really know what to say other than I probably shouldn't make my dating life a public matter. Eh?
So I wrapped the skin in a thick trash bag and stuffed it in my freezer...

MC Ground Breaking Ceremony
Elder Bednar came to campus today to speak in Devotional as part of the Ground Breaking Ceremony for the Manwaring Center at BYU-Idaho. His message was short and bold: about why we gather. I watched from the Kirkham area.
His message was bold in the fact that he left an Apostolic warning to all of us: Students, Faculty, and the City of Rexburg. Since we have such a great blessing here at school with all of the facilities being expanded and build, Rexburg's future definitely has extreme potential. However, Elder Bednar stated that, 'in the very day that we have and allow Intellectual Arrogance to exist among ourselves, the Spirit of the Lord will be withdrawn and the Spirit of Ricks will be near extinct.' Wow, I was humbled by that promise and I truly hope that years from now, when BYU-I is still doing great things, that we can remain humble and remember what blessing we have here. Elder Bednar also said: "Please be grateful for the singular opportunity you have to learn and work here - and for the responsibility that rests upon you as one who has been the recipient of great blessings."
(From The BYUI News Release:) Elder Bednar concluded with a promise to students, faculty, employees, administrators and the community that if they were to be intellectually modest, humble, grateful, obedient, and frugal "this university will shine forth ever brighter as a beacon of righteousness and of inspired educational innovation."
One cool thing was that after the dedicatory prayer they let the students participate in shoveling the dirt. Sterling and I bumped into each other:
