Lee and Me

I thought I would let you see some pictures of my roommate and me. We are singing karaoke together at a friend's birthday party. I don't want to depress you, but this was one of the best nights of my entire life. You can see the escalation of how things occurred that evening.

Friends

Lee tried to steal my thunder by dancing...

...So I body slammed him.

Good old fashioned sleeper hold.

A Video from High School

I am in the process of making a short musical called, "The Dropout." This video posted below must have been what inspired me to make a higher quality musical. The name of the song in the video is "Regresa a Mi" performed by Il Divo. My friends and I made this over a couple weekends in high school and I must say that it is one of the most sentimental videos to me. Enjoy.

Laughter


I don't think there is another picture of me where I look happier. However, the side of my face looks kind of nasty. They don't call me the Master of Nast for nothing. The other gentleman in this picture is my buddy Daniel. We are at a BBQ. I spilled a lot of condiments on myself that evening.

Some More Photos from Spring Break






It looks like I can only put five pictures on at a time.

More Photos from Spring Break






In my previous post, I didn't realize that I can only put on eight megabytes of pictures at once. So here are some scaled down images for you viewing pleasure.

Chorale Tour to Europe


Prague


Austin 's jacket matches the building.


The Melk Abbey. Too bad my eyes are closed.


The ducks in Prague are basically the same as they are in the US. I was so let down.



This past Spring Break, March 20- March 31, I traveled to Europe for the first time with the Biola University Chorale. We visited Germany, Austria, and The Czech Republic. Considering that we visited three countries in so few days, the tripped seemed so short, but so great nonetheless. We sang in several cathedrals from the Gothic and Baroque periods. We sang during several Catholic masses, even an Easter mass. I don't think I had been to a Catholic Church before this.
Everywhere we sang was very elaborately constructed and decorated--much more than anywhere I can think of in the United States. I can't imagine ever putting as much detail into something so huge as did those who built the cathedrals in which we sang. I believe that God has the ability to manifest his love for humanity through gorgeous architecture, but I don't think that a cathedral has the ability to love another. I believe that the Chorale demonstrated God's love for us through our songs. Our concerts seemed to be more than just concerts. I loved seeing the way that the audiences responded to our singing. I was definitely blessed and I hope that we blessed others even more.
