Tuesdays with Muerte

So my roommates and I created a band based on this one song we all know called "All Hands on Deck" by Waking Ashland. I've linked it here so you call all imagine me singing and playing guitar. Brian Spencer wrote a piano part. John, the Asian, wrote a bass part. Lee McCready (who broke a girls' window today with a snowball) is on the egg-shake. Please enjoy!

President Bush launched the US invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003. It's almost been 5 years since that date. . . I've stopped keeping tabs on the US policy on the war in Iraq. After viewing some viral videos I saw posted on the internet regarding the training and transfer of power to the local armed forces, I don't believe President Bush has any realistic hope of pulling out US troops in the near future. (I hope the Al qaeda didn't get a view of this...) Which do you think is going better? Click on this: Afghanistan Or IRAQ

"The Village Blacksmith", a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is featured in a old-school, family-favorite movie. The italicized portions of the first stanza are the lines I'm positive are quoted in the movie. Can you guess which movie? " Under a spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. His hair is crisp, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate're he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man."

At long last, I have discovered how to make it so that you don't have to log in in order to leave your comments. Hopefully you will find the blog much easier to use and much more enjoyable. Here are some enjoyable pics for you to reminisce over.

We definitely should have covered this during our time together in OH. What parts should we all play? Snape--Dad Dumbledore--Bryan Ron--Belle Hermione--Rick Harry Potter--Heather Voldamort--Phil Videography--Stef Audience--Mom

Mitt Romney has brought Mormonism into the spotlight as he contends for the Republican seat in the 2008 Presidential election. This article found in the NYT is the most comprehensive, and some-what objective, article I've read regarding the relationship between Romney, his politics and his religious values. (Although, to any LDS reader, the author is obviously not for the Church's beliefs.) The author challenges Romney to define his values and in doing so, sway the minds of many concerned voters who may still be nervous to vote for a "Mormon" Candidate. The article is called, "What Is It About Mormonism?"

Has anyone else noticed that despite my blog's title, "Tuesday's with Muerte", I have only posted twice in the 4 month history of my blog. Maybe I should consider a new strategy in posting. While new ideas are still percilating in my brain about how to better serve my readers, please feel free to offer some c&c yourselves. Always yours, Bryan p.s. If you have any recommendations for a new banner, I'm thinking about making a new one too.
