So I guess a few people actually want to know what is going on with me. Well not much, this last weekend was interesting to say the least. I went home to help with the basement project. It is always fun doing things twice or even three times just to get it right. I also learned some good things to know about certain people, and about myself. Guess I need to lay off sometimes and let people breathe...lesson learned. As far as school, it isn't that great, I don't really enjoy being here in Utah, or at BYU. Just something about it that bugs me...the people. (I mean no offense by that to those from Utah). As far as school, I am not doing the greatest, but not so shabby either. I just need to apply myself a little more, which is kind of hard right now because I am worn out. I can't wait for the semester to end, it will be a welcomed break. I'm going to go home and work, hopefully earning enough money for next semester. I know, I live an interesting life, more so than I lead on, but for the sake of your health, I won't go into detail.

EFTER BRYLLUPPET(2006)
"AFTER THE WEDDING"

Back in August I was in Mexico on a bus and I saw this movie. I meant to write the name down, but I didn't and then forgot about it. Today I was thinking about it for some reason and could not remember the name so I googled it, using the words Denmark, Orphanage, India and Movie. I found it, and watched it again. It is definitely not your cheesy, make you laugh and feel good film, but depicts some of life's most depressing moments in a way that you will truly feel it. It is not overbearing like most films which use excessive music and displays of emotion, but does so in a way that makes it more real and believable. It was done by Susanne Bier and was up for an Academy Award which it didn't win (It went to the German film, The Lives of Others). It was produced by none other than Lars von Trier's production company, Zentropa.
