Podcast Mania!

Well, tonight was pretty crazy.  Here in Salt Lake, Drew and I have a lot of extended family that live around the area.  Every Sunday night we all go to our Grandma's house for Sunday dinner.  Its pretty fun getting us all together once a week.  Tonight was a pretty big night, we had about 20 people there.  Anyways, since tomorrow is a holiday, everyone came over to our condo after dinner to hang out.  One thing lead to another, and we ended up going crazy with podcasting!  We recorded a few minutes on a few topics and I think it turned out pretty well!  There were 7 of us contributing: Lauren and Taylor Rice, Joel and Lindsay Tjarks, Katie and Brian Hazen, and Matt Beckstead.  We split it up into seperate downloads so if you would like, you can just listen to the topics that interest you.  Here are the links:On FacebookOn FamilyOn the Iraq WarOn ImmigrationPlease let us know what you think about it! Happy listening.P.S. If you didnt catch them the first time around, you can hear ...

The Zero Substance Twinkie
2008-02-16 10:51:00
Being a working college student is not an easy task, time is short, the workload is tall, and the demands are plentiful. It seems as if every minute is valuable and one cannot afford to waste even 1 precious hour. Time must be organized to ensure that homework is completed, tests are studied for, and work commitments are met. In the middle of this whole mess is the need to provide the body with nourishment so that it may have the energy to make it through the daily grind.When time is tight many find themselves seeking out "easy" snacks, foods that simply taste good and go down without any effort. A twinkie is a great example of one of these "quick and tasty" treats. During a moment of hunger nothing tastes better than a twinkie, full of nothing but sweet, sweet sugar. The harsh consequences of the twinkie consumption comes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes later when the sincere desire to vomit is embraced. The twinkie eater is faced with the disgusting reality that he has chose...

Our readership tends to dwindle slightly during the weekends, but for those loyal ones who do still visit, I thought I'd put up just a little something for you.  Theres a couple things that have happened recently that I want to comment on.Did you all hear about what happened in Berkeley recently?  Apparently they kicked the recruiters for the Marines off the UC Berkeley campus.  They literally did not let them actively recruit.  That blew me away on so many levels.  Ahh, it frustrates me so much, and that kind of behavior in a nutshell is the kind of nonsense that Berkeley has been known for throughout at least the last century.  These are the men that are sacrificing their lives for us here at home, and those pompous students think they are so high and mighty and will just go and kick them off their turf.  Not only are they keeping a great, heroic organization from getting new members, but they are keeping men and women who go to Berkeley from having the opportunity to join the Ma...

As a party, we come together

Mitt Romney "officially endorsed" John McCain's candidacy for President of the USA. Mitt gave his "full support" to his former rival all for the good of the Republican party and the fight against global jihad. Romney noted the fact that the democrats are in a nasty internal fight and this was the uniting move that will allow the Republican Party begin their attack on the eventual democratic nomination. Mitt didn't mess around and came out and said that neither Obama nor Hillary should be the next president.As much as I bashed on John McCain it was almost magical to see the two standing side-by-side and inspiring to hear as they came to a truce with the intentions of uniting the GOP. I loved Romney's line when he said, "with their rhetoric, our democratic opponents are skilled at striking heroic poses, but with the Republican nominee, we are going to offer America the real thing." John McCain is a hero and that is a characteristic that neither Obama nor Clinton will ever have.I jo...
