funny youtubes



I love funny people who make videos like this. This person obviously had a lot of time on their hands, but I'm glad they took the time to make me laugh. It's always great to have a funny youtube to brighten my day. Also, I'm really curious as to when he used sexy in a speech.

Martha

I love all things Martha. We've gotten the Living magazine in the mail ever since I can remember. My sister and I used to pick up her wedding magazine whenever we were with our mom at the grocery store. She was the source of all of our cooking and craft projects.
Since coming to college I have neglected looking at all of my Martha resources, but when I find the time I love browsing through her website. 
This is such a great resource for crafts, recipes and weddings. Ok, time to brag about my sister again. Her wedding was featured on Martha Stewart's website a few years ago linked here

Names

I have spent too much time on this, but it is so fascinating. Maybe I'm weird, but I think this is so cool! You type in any name and it shows you the years that it was popular. I can't remember how I found this, but I found it a few months ago and went crazy typing in names of everyone I know. Check it

Pick Me Up



I love that the internet can be used to spread so much good. I love finding videos like this on youtube. I can feel the Spirit so strongly through music and David Archuleta's voice is amazing. I've been so stressed out lately and listening to this song has helped calm me so much. I love it and hope you all do too.

Disney Channel Original Movies

Did you know that the Disney Channel original movies that we grew up watching are almost all on youtube in parts? Yeah, best discovery ever! My friends and I spent our Friday night watching Wish Upon a Star. 
I LOVED these movies growing up. I used to watch Double Teamed and try to do the cool fake move that helps them win the game. I watched Gotta Kick It Up and pretended like I was suddenly good at dancing. Such cheesy movies, but you can't help but love them. 
Disney has gone downhill since I was a kid. The TV shows are LAME and the original movies are equally as awful. Also, since when do ten year olds have girlfriends on Disney? I swear they just keep getting young and younger each year. 


Movie Songs

One of my favorite things is when movies have a great theme song or great soundtracks. Music in films can completely change the entire mood of the movie. I love the good war movies with the intense music in battle and the sentimental music when there's a lovey moment. I'm very much influenced by music and consider it to be a huge part of who I am. Here is some of my favorite music from movies

I love Man From Snowy River. I started learning this song on the piano, but then my parents' cleaning lady moved the sheet music, and I've never been able to find it. I can attempt to impress you with the first two pages that I can play though haha. 



I get chills. So.... magical



Obviously..


This soundtrack brings back so many memories. So beautiful!


Ahhhhh


Another obvious one





Knowing me I need to stop here, or I will be annoying and post way too many. I'll also probably come up with the best one right after I post this.

making changes



I found the video that we watched in class so fascinating. I wanted to look more into the cause and found this little video. I liked how it shared statistics and then gave encouragement to make changes. I loved it! So powerful! Often times I think I wouldn't be able to make a difference, but then videos like this excited me and make me want to get involved in the change. Hope you all like it as well!
