Musical Reminiscent

So we do this thing in my family where at least one of my brothers start playing his ukulele - usually Ryan, but sometimes Kade and Adam too - and then we all just end up singing along with as many songs as we know for hours on end. And then after that we just start making up songs, and they are always hilarious. Some of my favorite songs topics have been the pizza and hot dogs song or the dancing asian bears.
Sound fun? Yeah it is.

I miss that. Ryan is off serving the Lord and the Scottish. And I don't see Adam and Kade or any of my other brothers as often as I would like. I think it is high time for a jam sesh with the broskis. I miss them! Seriously, the funniest people I know. Honestly, even when the ukes aren't present, we find music everywhere and just sing our hearts out all times. I love that about them. Though sometimes Cob has zero rhythm and it is ridiculous.

And here's a vid of us instigating the singing of Bohemian Rhapsody at a family Christmas party a couple of years ago. Grandpa did not appreciate the impromptu and loud nature of it :)



This is my family. And I love them. The crazies.

Oh and Adam is going to the freaking West Indies on his mission! So rad. I can't even handle how excited I am for him.


PS.. Happy Birthday shout out to the BFF! Charity is unbeatable.


And to the other BFF who's birth celebration is tomorrow. Love you, Lyse!

Beezer.

Today I created a playlist of Weezer and Beyoncé songs.
I called it Beezer.
That should tell you what kind of a day it was.
Honestly, it probably won't tell you what kind of day it was.
I'm not even sure what kind of day that is because I've never put that music combo together before.
But let me tell you, it was brilliant.

Today's favorite Weezer song. And today's favorite Beyoncé song.
It was definitely a good day.

Weezer just makes me so happy.

It doesn't matter my mood; Weezer just plain makes it better.

If I made music, it would sound like Weezer music.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to tire of listening to Weezer. Then I laugh and recognize the truth: that would never happen.

Today's piece of advice: go listen to some Weezer.

My life is a musical.

Once upon a time I watched High School Musical(this was not one of my finer moments), and as terribly cheesy and ridiculous that piece of cinematic entertainment was, it made me come to a conclusion. I would just straight up LOVE to have my life be a musical. If people burst into song and dance everywhere I went and whenever something important happened, I would absolutely adore this. I would also probably feel more comfortable, because I'm pretty sure that I tend to do this in normal situations. Sometimes I just can't help but sing. And if the song is good, then it absolutely must be accompanied by dancing. So, since I already bust out in musical exhibitions at mildly inappropriate times, then I figure everyone else around me might as well join in.
Seriously though, wouldn't it be so cool if you were just walking around the grocery store and people started singing ballads about what they were buying and beboppin' around with their shopping carts? Or if you went to a soccer game and the people in the stands started singing about how much they love the sport? Or if I was walking around campus and backpack-clad students just started spontaneous dancing in Brigham Square.... ok, let's get real, I go to BYU, so that already happens on a weekly basis, maybe even daily. :) Anyway, yes, this would be so incredibly cheesy and logistically impossible for there to be choreographed songs and dances everywhere I went, but it is still worth the dream. If my life was a musical, even the terribly sad or disheartening things that happen couldn't be that bad. And so, despite the ridiculousness of the idea, I will continue to sing and dance in pretty much every situation I am placed in. It just can't be stopped, trust me, I've tried.

Side note: If my life WERE a musical, this is what my roommates and I would look like:
