Rhyme and Reason: November 2008

Thursday, November 13, 2008. The Upbeat: Documentary on Utah Ska. If you went to high school in the 90’s, you most likely heard of the musical phenomenon that was Ska music. Especially if you lived in Utah. Have you ever wondered what Ska music is, where it came from, and why it ended up in Utah of all places? Well, the answer to these pressing questions have been answered once and for all in my good friend Brandon Smith’s new documentary, “the Upbeat,” which is now out on DVD. Me, my friend Ben, and som...

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Hope #4: Hope for a traditional American foreign policy. Okay, this one is a little long, but it’s a topic that needs a lot of explanation. Hope #4 for President Obama is that he will seek a traditional American foreign policy of neutrality and non-intervention unless our vital national interests or national security are inherently connected. What does this mean? This means no more world policing and no more state building! What should our foreign policy look like then? Yes, it...

Tuesday, May 26, 2009. The Constitution: Sacred and Inspired. 8220;[The adoption of the Constitution] will demonstrate as visibly the finger of Providence as any possible event in the course of human affairs can ever designate it.” (George Washington) . President Obama announced his nominee to take Justice Souter’s place on the Supreme Court today. As everyone expected he picked a Latino woman. We are “citizens of the world” who have rationally developed human rights. This is what those of use who hold t...

Sunday, December 14, 2008. Ha I will have to start tackling the mountain of reading for next semester soon though. But for at least a few days, that will be out of sight and out of mind. For right now I'm just going to be a pie cooling on a window sill. Monday, December 1, 2008. Eye of the Storm. Law School finals are upon me. If I make it out alive, you may hear from me again.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009. A Wife and Two Kids": Eden Turns Two-Weeks Old. Well, Eden is now 2-weeks old, so it’s about time that I show her off. She’s a precious little creature, she is! Eden is a great new addition to the family. She has brought a peaceful spirit into our home, which is helpful because it acts as a counterweight to Auri’s boundless. Spirit. Another advantage of newborns is that it tends to make wives more content. They can’t seem to get enough of the cuteness and the inn...

Rhyme and Reason: So Long Old Friend
http://freeyesfree.blogspot.com/2010/07/so-long-old-friend.html
Thursday, July 1, 2010. So Long Old Friend. Well, I recently lost a dear friend of mine to old age (and some abuse). No, I am not speaking of old Henry down at the care center; I'm speaking of my dear old acoustic guitar. A crack in the neck of the guitar became a large gap, causing the strings to want to pull away from the fretboard. For many reasons, I don’t really consider myself a true “guitar player.”. Also, I don’t know the names of the chords that I play. I play entirely by ear and memory. I am no...

Friday, July 3, 2009. The Spirit of '76! IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. It is easy for us to look at this document now and fail to appreciate the freedoms that have sprung from its text- which are quite literally responsible for our day-to-day happiness. Indeed, the Fourth of July is a day that deserves celebration. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links to My Music. The Spirit of 76! View my complete profile.

Rhyme and Reason: April 2010

Friday, April 16, 2010. Thoughts on the Tax Day/Tea Party Protests. Yesterday the Tea Party rallies culminated in a countrywide protests surrounding “tax day” in symbolic protest against all things federal government. I must say, my hopes have waxed and waned quite a lot in regards to this movement. On the one hand it has given me hope for the future of American politics, and the republic in general. And I must also say it has been bitter/sweet watching how begrudgingly the media has covered this. And wh...

Monday, October 12, 2009. Wish it was fall. This is my favorite time of year. I love the fall, and always have. Nothing beats the feel of the first brisk breeze of the season after a long menacing summer, the changing leaves and colors, and the overall change of pace. It seems that life changes and transforms along with the season. At least that has been the way it has been with me. Fall has always been the season of change for me. Some of my favorite memories are associated with fall. However, I must sa...
