Musical Memories

As I was walking home from school, I somehow stumbled upon my childhood memories of the ice cream truck. The one that makes that delightful noise which perks up any child's lazy, summer day. Poor parents! ha! "Mom, Can I have a dollar? Please, please? Mom, Can I? Can I? Please!?!? Hurry! The ice cream man's comin'!"
When I was little my Mamaw lived in South Houston, TX. My sister, Heather, and I would go every now and again to visit for a few weeks during the summer. Where Mamaw lived...the ice cream man drove around. [I grew up on a dirt road in the middle of DeRidder countryside.]
Once, I didn't get the dollar from my Mamaw in time...so I missed the truck! But I was young, so I chased him down for a couple of blocks! My favorite ice creams were those Tweety Bird or Ninja Turtles ones with the bubble gum eyes! Maybe an ice cream man drives around Provo?

Potential Focus of Master's Thesis

I have spent most of my time at school since I have returned from my mission. While here, I have studied somewhat intensively the theoretical teachings of Zygmunt Bauman. I wonder if I can handle another two years of schooling? Perhaps I'd like to get a Master's. I want to continue studying consumerist culture and its affects on family relations and social bonds.
Here is a song that my buddy, Michael, showed me which illustrates the society we live in today. The lyrics can be the summary of an article or book written by Bauman. Hopefully, liquid modernity frightens you and you are gathering your children around you this instance to convey your love unto them. :)

Black & White

A joke I remember from grade school:
What is black and white and (pronounced) "red" [read] all over?
Nope...wrong! It's not zebras...It's a newspaper! Ah ha ha ha!
I just finished two finals today. Therefore, I feel that I deserve a blogging break. I made a list of things concerning this past semester about which I would like to blog. I am excited to inform you all that I have been alot more social this semester compare to last. I'm not certain yet that my grades have suffered from it. But I know that being social contributed somewhat to my stress level being so high! :)
I will just leave you this cute black and white photo to remember that I love zebras! Yippee!
