Ok, the music is fixed for real I hope...
The past week has been little more than work, stress, sleep, a trip to grandma's and grandpa's, a trip to Bingham Canyon Mine (always fun to see!), and 10 hour days this week that start around 5:30 in the morning.
Paul Ryan was named Romney's VP pick. I approve and support them. It has been questioned if Obama's VP (he sure ain't mine) should remain on the ticket for the election. Joe Biden thinks Romney will put people back in chains (he said that to a heavily African-american crowd), believes we live in the 20th century, thought he was in North Carolina when he was in Virginia, and referred to Paul Ryan as governor...and that was just one day of gaffes. To see just how great he is, here are Joe Biden's Greatest Hits:
One final thing to share, it's a fantastic letter we need to mass produce and send out to everyone. In 1959, Judge Philip B. Gilliam of Denver, Colorado, published a letter in the Pierce County Tribune in North Dakota. That letter has recently gone viral. The story is here, but I would suggest just reading the letter below because the automatic-playing video is done by the annoying Knowles-it-all girl...

Open Letter to Teen-ager
Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager. What can we do?...Were can we go?
The answer is GO HOME!
Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk. Wash the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job.
Help the minister, priest, or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons. And then when you are through - and not too tired - read a book.
Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities.
The world does not owe you a living...You owe the world something.
You owe it your time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again.
Grow up; quit being a crybaby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady.
You're supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years.
They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have every benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure.
But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, thinking and request.
In Heaven's name, grow up and go home!

Well, that's all for today. Thanks for reading!
