What if Dr. Suess Wrote the Book of Mormon?

Hey everybody! Just to celebrate school getting out, (and seminary) I'd like to share with you an Email I got that I find funny. Enjoy!

What if Dr. Seuss Wrote the Book of Mormon?

Nephi:
Of goodly parents I was born
I've never drunk, I've never sworn
This is Lehi, he's my dad
Laman, Lemuel, they are bad
And who is this? Why this is Sam.
Sam:
Yes, this is Sam; Sam I am
Laman:
That Sam I am, that Sam I am
I do not like that Sam I am
Sam:
In a tent, my father dwelt
Laman:
And it's so hot, I think I'll melt
Lemuel:
Our father's brain is out of whack
Laman:
Yeah, it's too hot, I'm going back
Lehi:
Then go and get the plates, my dear
Laman:
On second thought, I'm staying here
Nephi:
You said you'd leave and go away
Now all you want to do is stay?
Lemuel:
That Nephi always gets his way
Laman:
Here we are in this damp cave
Sam:
We would not be here if you'd behave
Nephi:
I will go and I will do
There's the angel, that's my cue
Laban's had too much to drink
Now he'll lose his head, I think
Nephi:
Look what I found, a brother from the quorum
Sam:
We will take him home, we will call him Zoram
Laman:
Our gold and silver we have spent
I do not like it in this tent
Lemuel:
I cannot read the Liahona
I must have drunk too much Corona
Laman:
We hate it here, we have no lives
Lehi:
Then go back to the city and get some wives
Lehi:
A tree, a tree, I see a tree!!
The fruit is white, the fruit is free!
A floating building, could it be?
Why do they laugh and stare at me?
Laman, Lemuel, come and see!
Laman:
We will not eat your precious fruit
Lemuel:
We will not wear a tie and suit
Laman:
We will not help you build your boat
Lemuel:
We do not think that it will float
Laman:
No not this boat, it will not float
Not even in a shallow moat
I do not care what Nephi wrote
Lemuel:
We will not eat your fruit I say
Laman:
We will not eat it on a tray
Lemuel:
And we won't eat it in a tent
Not even if your clothes you rent
Laman:
We'd rather have a can of spam
L&L:
We will not eat it, Sam I am
Sam:
You do not like it, so you say
Try it, try it, and you may
Try it and you may I say
Laman:
Sam, if you will let us be,
We will try it, you will see
L&L:
Say, we like this fruit of life
Sorry that we caused such strife
You've saved us from an awful jam
Thank you, thank you, Sam I am!

Things to do When You're Bored

So, once upon a time I was really bored. So, I looked up things that I could do when bored. I got to this really funny website entirely devoted to boredom! Here are some of my favorite things that I found:

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.


Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.
 
Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Pretend you're a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.


Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.

Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.

Try and sound Welsh
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
The key to sounding Welsh is to make sure that your voice goes up at the end of the sentence, so that everything sounds like a question. Throw in a superfluous 'isn't it?' at the end of everything you say and you're halfway there. Isn't it?


Stare at the back of someone's head until they turn around
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
This works on the "I have the feeling I'm being watched" principle. Conduct an experiment-does this really work?

Have a "Who is less competitive" competition
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Trying to win at this will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

Why?

I'm thinking about getting a restraining order against snow. I would like it to stay at least a STATE away. Why you ask? Well, for those of you who are reading this and are not currently in Utah, It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. At least it seems to be melting fast...

Having a Tough Time?

“Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.”  ~Samuel Johnson


“When things go wrong don't go with them” ~Elvis Presley


“When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.”~ C.S. Lewis

“Things go wrong because people build walls instead of bridges.”

When Things Go Wrong
by Author Unknown

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Love this Song...

 Sorry, YES it's Dinsey, but YES it's good. Go the this site. Or you can find it on YouTube or Hulu. It's called Me, Myself and Time by Demi Lovato

10 Things in Movies That Bug Me.

1. When someone (usually the Hero) is being chased by the bad guys and the bad guys always yell : "Hey! Come back here!" Like they'll say : "Oh, Ok!" And turn right around. Seriously?
2. When a someone is captured and put in prison. The first thing they do? Shake the bars of the jail or door handle. Not gonna work. It'd be funny if it did. 
3. When the villain tells his goons to attack the hero.. Instead of all of them ganging up up on him, (which would be very effective) they circle him and WAIT one-by-one to take him on. Then again, the goons are never portrayed as being smart...
4. When big noisy explosion happen in space. (Star Wars) The reality of the situation is: Space is a vacuum! You cant have any sound in space! Yes, it would be boring, yet realistic! Except, no one cares about being realistic...
5. When they use that one scream over and over in every single movie. It's called the Wilhelm scream. You'd recognize it if you heard it.
6. When people don't run, when they should be running.
7. When you find out at the end, that it was all a dream.
8. When Villains monologue. It's always their downfall. And how long do they spend writing it?
9. When someone gets in a Taxi and yells "Follow that car!" Wouldn't he spend a little time asking why?
10. When, in scary movies, someone scared out of their mind, and yet when a door opens by itself they willingly go in and everyone's thinking NOOOO DON'T GO IN! Then the door closes on them. THAT is very dumb. Or when someone walks towards freaky sounds or noises that anyone would normally walk away from.

A Capella

I got into ACapella!  ACapella is our school's amazing choir who wins just about everything they ever compete in. We also will most likely be going on a trip to Disneyland to tour! It was probably my hardest (yet best) audition ever. But, I'm SO exited!
