Oh my.

You can definitely thank Cameron for that last post.

But um, I swear I swear that I have not forgotten you, my few followers. I've just been busy. With concerts. And camping. And family vacations. I shall tell you all about each my adventures as soon as I return from one of the greatest cities, SAN FRANSISCO, next week.

Meanwhile, enjoy these beautiful pictures.

Oh man. You have no idea how excited I am to see this up close and PERSONAL.

Hugs and Kisses

Dear Utah:

You're too dang hot. Remember when you were cold? And it was awesome because I got to wear my hoodies and my beanies and my skinny jeans...? You know how I much I love that. And now look. LOOK AT THIS... THIS MESS. You've destroyed it all. Now I'm
SWEATY
and
HOT
and
STINKY
and I feel like poop.

Let's not do this anymore.
Thanks.

Concert #1

Well, we're going to pretend it's #1 at least, because I refuse to admit that my first concert was David Archuleta and Brad Paisley.

Anyways, we went to see The Decemberists

 and Typhoon

which were both, amazing. Here's a pic of The Decemberists on stage, before things got crazy...

As you can see, we were just a few people from the front. We were close enough to see their beards! :D

And in case you were wondering who I keep referring to as "we", I went with Gavin, Hailee, and Cameron. We had fun. Except I'm a little disappointed now because listening to them recorded isn't as good anymore. Because they were AMAZING live. AH. It was all so good. The music was great. My friends were great. Life is great. Yeah.

Next Thursday- EDWARD SHARPE AND THE MAGNETIC ZEROS!

...I'm a little excited. :)

Aww yeah.

Get a load of this geniusness. Jaco Pastorius, ladies and gentlemen. The all-time greatest bass player, if you ask me. I'm trying to learn this solo.

CHECK IT.

Guitar?

I've been in love with guitar lately.

And in case you didn't know- I SUCK at guitar. Bass, I pretty much kick butt. But guitar... makes me want to cry. But I've been practicing, and I'm getting pretty dece. (That's Hip for "decent".)

For Girls Camp I'm writing a few songs, and I have had a surprising amount of success in doing so. When they are completed, I'll be sure to upload videos! But, yeah. Doin' pretty good. Fo sho. Alrighty. K.

Yeah and I... love this picture

Like, a lot.

So how is your summer? Good, I'm suspecting? Cool beans. Keep it up, yo.

-SAM

Well this is different.

Let's reminisce. Remember June? TWENTY-ONE POSTS. To seven? I'm pathetic, I know. But I have an explanation! I've just had a lot on my mind, so it's been hard to post something random AND that makes a bit of sense. So. Here we go.

HARRY POTTER = TRUE LOVE

I CRIED. Okay, well, maybe crying isn't the best explanation for what I was doing. I was pretty much bawling and shaking and laughing and screaming all at the same time. You could almost say the the movie was horrendously good. (Horrendously good.... I think I'm puttin' that on Urban Dictionary...) But seriously. Even if you think Harry Potter is "just alright", go see it. You will die.

Of happiness.

And another thing- Go do something that will make you happy today. Blow a balloon and draw a face on it. Make a fort in your living room. Put some food coloring in your soap and take a bubble bath. Make some chocolate milk and drink it with a straw. Go find a tree and take a nap underneath. Visit your friend or neighbor and bring them a gift- just because. There are too many opportunities to do something that will make you feel better about yourself to not take advantage of them.

Wow. Today is good I guess... :)

Beautiful.

When you put my two favorite things together in one night, it just doesn't get better.

Fireworks + Rain = Happy Sam

Happy Independence Day everyone. Word to Franklin and Washington and whatnot. Yo.
