About Me
I was born and raised in Utah and am the oldest of 6 kids (me, four girls, and a brother). My parents have taught me to be a gentleman and a scholar, which I have tried to implement throughout my life. I love playing, writing, and listening to music of all kinds. I'm currently studying computer science at Brigham Young University (BYU) because I love math, most sciences (I'm not a big biology fan), and technology. Of course my blog title screams nerdy, and I'm sure you'll pick up on that reading through my blog! Below is a link to view some of my favorites.See favorites
About the Blog
I promise my blog title operates under a completely understandable principle, even if it is super nerdy! The basic principle is this: I realize that my life constitutes an extremely small existence in context of the relatively gigantic world population, but I want to connect the small instances and principles I learn in my life to a bigger picture that involves more than just myself. I also would like to remember some of the significant (and insignificant) events of my life, and since I'm terrible at writing in a journal this seemed like a fun way to do it!Please excuse the construction: I'm still working on the blog layout
I'm a Mormon
The natural question that always follows the mention of my Utah background is whether or not I'm a Latter-day Saint (commonly known as a 'Mormon'). If the signs I have placed all throughout my blog don't give it away, then I'll clear it up: I am indeed a member of the LDS Church, and I owe all of my happiness to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I highly encourage everyone to check out the 'I'm a Mormon' tab and or lds.org for more details!My Links/Pages

For Your Entertainment, We Present Today's News Coverage!
"Good" news bores me. When I visit CNN, I want to read about scandal, outrage, and ruin! Oh wait...if I want to be happy, why am I looking for negativity? I skip over the positive and happy in search of the discouraging and depressing? Yeah, that's a great way to motivate myself. The American media has clearly conditioned us to focus on negative information. The shooting incident surrounding the theatrical release of The Dark Knight Rises captured weeks of media attention, while American-built schools constructed for Iraqi children earned minutes. What if the media used their influence to encourage positive change? I'm convinced that thousands of good deeds and positive actions take place every day. Why not cover these events instead? We have the ability to broadcast live video coverage to the other side of the globe. It's about time we use our incredible technologies to propagate responsible and worthwhile messages!

I wonder why people are more interested in the sensational, the horrific, the depressing. Is it human nature for our interest to be more readily grabbed by such things?
