The North Korean Problem

I've been reading a lot about North Korea and this missile/rocket thing they are testing out. Everyone is freaking out and wondering why they wan to blow us up. Well, I think I might have figured it out. World leaders are just like little kids on a playground. They just want to be included. Let me explain.

Let’s say that Little Georgie Bush
just got a brand new model airplane for his birthday but little Kim Jong Il’s mom and dad could only afford to give him a ball of brown yarn. And Little Georgie is only letting those children that don’t harbor or fund terrorists play with his new toy. This means little Kim Jong can only watch the fun from afar and this obviously makes him very sad and jealous. So he skifes some matches from his good friend Mouhmoud and threatens to send a flaming ball of yarn into Georgie’s sandbox if he can’t take the plane for a spin. The only problem is that right now Kim Jong's arm is severely deformed and he can only toss the yarn as far as the mud puddle that is right in front of him. (His parents are trying to get that fixed but they have run into some technical difficulties.) The only hope the Great Free Sandbox has is Georgie's adopted brother, Barack. He has finally entered the playground and has taken over the defense of the sandbox. And, thankfully, is trying to befriend Kim Jong, but he is still paranoid. Little Georgie was so mean to him (stealing lunch money, barring him from the club house, convincing his parents and friends that he is just a lunatic) he's going to have hard time learning to trust this new guy. He better though cause Barack has one of the best arms in 5th grade and I hear he's got a whole box of matches. All we can do is pray that the kids on the playground will soon return to peaceful coexistence.

Okay maybe I took that analogy a bit to far...

Here's an article --> N. Korea Rocket on Launch Pad

I can't think of a witty enough title

So I'm thinking about trying something new. It's pretty scary for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Don't worry it's nothing too weird. Please don't laugh...or maybe you should laugh...crap. This might not work. Did you laugh just then? If the answer is yes then you can keep reading. If it was no then please stop reading immediately and go find something better to occupy your time.

Okay so I want to do stand-up comedy. I know it's weird and crazy and improbable and the hardest performing art to break into and I suck at the whole writing jokes thing but I think it would be fun. And the BYU stand-up club doesn't have a girl so that like gives me a better chance, right? Okay so probably affirmative action doesn't apply in this situation.

...Yeah so I'm already starting to doubt my abilities. I'll get back to you guys...

My Art

In the last few months I have picked up a strange hobby.

Watercolors

I'm not very good but I thought I would share a few of my personal favorites!
