I can't believe it.

So, I pretty much started school yesterday. I went to orientation.

Oh my lanta...it started off really dull and boring, (and honestly I

just wanted to vomit and leave.) BUT I am so glad I stayed. The

day was so informative and I registered for classes, which was

really exciting. Probably my favorite part of the whole day. It was

also fantastic to get to know the campus. Meet people, and really

appreciate the city for what it's worth. I lived in Salt Lake City for

half of my childhood and I never could swallow how wonderful the

city was until yesterday. The architecture, the enviornment, the people;

it's so alive and beautiful. I love it! Plus! I got into some really great classes

and have just enough courses (electives and general ed) to get me through

the semester. I think that this is what I love most about college thus far:

the ability to change your mind and no one has the right to reprimand you.

It is up to you. It is your time, your money, you life. So waste it if you must.

Utilize it, if you can, and love every minute of it. I can't wait to see what

next semester has in store. ;)

Change.

It amazes me how much life can change in just a matter

of seconds. I mean really. Who came up with this idea/

actuality of life just changing right before your eyes. Now,

I'm not saying I don't like it exactly. It's just so sudden.

I need some forewarning. An air signal, smoke signal,

a piano dropping from the sky would be sufficient.

Anything really. All I know is that a few moments ago

I was going to SUU, and now I'm going to the University

of Utah. CARAZY!!! Which means, yes, I will be staying

which definitely makes me smile. I wonder if there's a song

that can illustrate how I feel about this sudden change...

Let me check...

This doesn't really paint a picture of this exact moment, but

it will give you an idea as to my spiritual journey...




They really should make a stage musical of this movie.

The Orchestrations are beautiful I kind of want to cry...

This song definitey illustrates my love for God, and

how grateful I am to him for blessing me each and every

day. Giving me everything I always hoped for and nothing

I've ever wanted.

Thank you.

Well I now that I've brought up God I think I'll leave you

with this wonderful quote I found, that I love!

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak
that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might
do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
 I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I
 might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
 I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for
 all thingsthat I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all
things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am,
among all men, most richly blessed.”

Ciao.

On My Way

 This is the AMAZING Sutton Foster performing, "On My Way"

from the musical, "Violet." It basically sums up how I feel right 

now. Enjoi!

The Gods Love...Nubia?

I think the most amazing aspect of life is that we have been 

blessed with amazing minds and spirits, and although they 

may fail us, or rather, we fail ourselves. There is still time 

for improvement. Through love and peserverence we can 

accomplish what seems to be the most impossible.

God loves me, and he loves you too. 

With that said I put this as my Facebook status recently:

"Excuse me sir; you can call me names, and give me dirty looks.

You can spread your rumors: your lies, but trust me, it won't hurt. 

You can use words that smell of hate, and believe you can curse, 

but sir understand this. I am me, and that excels any horrid bologna dispersed from

the jaw of your mouth. Thank you. Good bye. For-ever."

Honestly, I had no idea where this came from. I wrote in response to a fellow 

co-worker who blamed me for his mistake. The response I got to this post 

though is what made me realize that it was much more than just my way of 

"venting," but it was a statement. A true statement, and it makes me so proud 

of my friends who support equality and acceptance. The truth is: we are different

and that is what makes us beautiful. 

 

So, this is to my friends (and some strangers) whom I love, a respect, more now

 than ever. Thank you for your undying acceptance (in all my flaws and differences).

This is also to to the world: love is love, trials are trials, mistakes are mistakes; and 

we all possess these three unpredictable mishaps.  So, whether we are common, 

or whether we are crazy is up to you to decide. All I know for certain is that 

to me they are the same. :) 

Ciao!

 

A Bucket List (sort of)

So I've decided to publish my Bucket List. I know, I know,

it may seem conceited. I mean, why would anyone care about 

anything I want to do before I buried six feet under, but it's not 

because I want to publish it to the world to show-off. I'm doing 

it to create some sort of an obligation for myself to get it done, and

if it's published my mind says, "oh snap, everyone knows, I better 

do it!" *crazy scared face* So here it is. Exactly as I wrote it the last 

day of English class. There are ten of them. ONLY TEN, I need to 

get them done, and if I don't. I'll survive, but it'd still be cool to say 

I got them done. Woot! Woot! 

Anyways to begin:

My Bucket List

By: Nathan Rust

• Learn to Fly a Plane:
•  I wanted to jump out of an airplane, but the more I thought about it, the more I found it to be stupid. So I found a happy medium.
• See Lady Gaga Live:
• 'nuff said.
• Tour Italy and France (and maybe some other countries on that side of the world) oh, and Greece:
• I have always been found of Italy, but France has now sparked my interest. I don't remember why. It just does. I'd also like to add Bali. :) 
• Write a memoir:
• This most likely won't happen, but I can dream. Right? Right? 
• Appear on Saturday Night Live:
• I'm not funny, but it would be interesting. 
• Get Married:
• If I find the right person, and find myself in an appropriate situation.
• Study Abroad in Jerusalem:
• I think it would be fascinating. 
• Go to India with Gabby. 
•  Just discovered this one. Just as I'm writing this actually. 
• Meet Oprah Winfrey:
• She's black, she's rich, and she touches my heart.
• Perform on Broadway:
•  Even for just a night will do. I'm easy. I would stay for an extended amount of time too. Who knows?

Well, there they are. This was fun. Everyone should make one, even just for fun. Well here it goes, off into the world wide web. Enjoi.
