Disney

Well I finally made it to Disney World after a horrible plane trip with 3 lay overs that lasted 14 hours in all...... so yeah it wasn't very fun.  But I finally got to Orlando and finally got picked up by my hotel which was actually pretty nice.  I thought I was going to have to get one with two beds because that's all they said they had but when I got there I was able to get one with just one king size bed and when I laid down and just passed out.  I guess that's what happens when you try to sleep on a bench inside of the airport for 4 hours ugghh.  When finally I got to Disney it seemed like all I was doing was filling out paper work, doing background checks, and getting interviewed all day for 2 days before I finally had time to myself.  Much of this was actually standing in line to do these......After finally getting that done and even having to go the the Social Security Building to specifically get a new card because I forgot mine...... I finished and moved in.  I have 3 roommates Chase, Sam and Dallan.

Since I have finally gotten to Disney I have made a group of friends, also from the BYU schools, pretty quickly that I run around with.

Some of us playing in the fountain in Downtown Disney I ended up getting pretty wet from it and felt like a kid.  But it was far to worth it to ever regret it.

A picture truly worth a thousand words.
While here I have promised myself that I would take more pictures, because as a general statement I suck at it.  Though I think there would be motivation if I didn't have a 5 year old point and shoot, but in the end that's just an excuse.  Thankfully I have been improving and these are just some of the pictures I have been taking and some are from my friends cameras too.    I wish I could get more into photography, but I think I would get more motivation if I took a class.  But until I can afford those it will be just another fun half accomplished projects of mine. 

I finished the book "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins which is the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy.  And now I quickly moved on to the next and final one of the series "Mockingjay."  Its a a great series a little gritty, but it has a great idea behind it and really makes you think of where society is going.  Although the whole putting a bunch of humans in an arena and have them fight to the death isn't new.  (I mean look at the ancient gladiatorial matches of Rome.)  It is slightly scary about the thought of a government getting so powerful that it gets to the point being in absolute power and the general population is in just depths of slavery and fear.  Though reading these books really gets me in the revolutionary mood.  I probably shouldn't watch V for Vendetta anytime soon.....


I guess this whole SOPA doesn't help with this that really has me feeling a little disgruntled with the whole idea of the government having a little too much control over the internet.  Thankfully with this there has been such a public backlash that even the large companies like Google and Go Daddy to change sides.  Finally after a large black out of the internet the bill was then stopped in Congress and is being reviewed for another draft.

I now am deciding as it is getting so late that I will stop doing these long huge drafts, but actually try to get back to my small every day entries that I kind of miss doing.  Though just like exercising its going to be tough habit to get back into.  I really wish I had a more focused personality, but in the end it is only my decision of what I want to be like and nobody can stop me.  Except for myself.  So bring it on. 

 A song I have been listening to a lot lately to motivate me is Good Feeling by Flo Rida and my favorite part is this verse
The mountain top, walk on water
I got power, feel so royal
One second, I'ma strike oil
Diamond, platinum, no more for you
Got adrenaline, never giving in
Giving up's not an option, gotta get it in
Witness I got the heart of 20 men
No fear, go to sleep in the lion's den
That flow, that spark, that crown
You looking at the king of the jungle now
Stronger than ever can't hold me down
A hundred miles feelin' from the picture smile
Straight game face, it's game day
See me running through the crowd full of melee
No trick plays, I'm Bill Gates,
Take a genius to understand me

I guess that is to me is just that have a great outlook on life and live better then all those around you don't keep consistently comparing yourself to those around you.  If you really do that you will rise above and become something truly amazing, your full potential. 
I felt like this video was applicable to my post and well its just awesome and I highly recommend it.
