DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

Paying homage to online friends during this holiday season with some heartfelt silliness:

My inspiration, my energy, my wisdom, my gratitude, my vision, my laughter … my knowledge.

From me to you: I’m so glad I’m you’re here.

And, yes, if there’d been more than four cues, I would’ve included more of my favorite sites. 🙂

how NOT to get out of church

July 28, 2009October 20, 2010

I wasn’t always a fan of church, but I always went. But apparently this boy really didn’t like church. It doesn’t say if he was avoiding a Mormon church or some other service, but it was in Utah. Still pretty funny! 😉

I grabbed this book by JulieAnn Henneman late yesterday afternoon. I had every intention of reading only a few chapters before Boston Legal (“Denny Crane!”) came on at 10 pm. However, it didn’t work out that way… At 1 am, I dragged my sorry and very tired butt to bed,…

    Very nicely done! Your production values and your approach are both really appealing.

    Thanks, visitor, but any praise for the production values (and approach and pretty much everything else) really belongs to these guys:

    I just hopped on for the ride there at the end (i.e., the last nine seconds).

    Laugh away, but I certainly hope you won’t discount any of the feelings you experienced while viewing my version of the clip just because you’re now suddenly aware of where I found it. I’d feel bad if my sincere expression of exmo camaraderie wound up being disregarded simply on account of my obvious fraud.

    No, not at all! That’s what is so ironic to me about it, that this video does equal or more justice as applied by you to our communities, as it did in it’s original rendition to Mormon Messages.

    Hey, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate you playing along. In the absence of a budget, mutual admiration is worth its weight in gold. They control the treasury, but we’ve got the numbers. Here’s to a fun 2011. 🙂

    Regarding the contempt, I read an anecdote on some exLDS facebook group a while ago that really stuck with me:…

    Great point at the end, Holly. So that was Pres. Nelson's take on "Man is that he might have joy."…
