I just want to make a plug for John Mayer. What a guy. Without fail, no matter what mood i am in he is just the ultimate choice for something to listen to. He and Jack Johnson are definitely two of my all time favorite artists.
But today for example. Stressing over my last essay that i need to worry about for history. Nothing big... just 20 percent of my grade, and it needs to be at least 7 pages long for even a decent grade. Oh and add to that, my notes stink, so i need to do all sorts of research to find out more information so i can put it all in there, then gather up all the sources staple it all together and go put it on his desk Thursday morning.It all can be a bit stressful, especially when your working full time and have the attention span of about 5 minutes. I swear i have been on and off facebook about 50 bazillion times today alone and its only 1 o' clock.
But back to John Mayer. I seriously just turn on my ipod and put it on shuffle for John Mayer and all of the sudden i am so calm. Its amazing how something like that can happen. I just get so relaxed when i finally buckle down and go listen to either of them. Its so great.
Another thing that really made my day when i opened my call. Not that opening it was enough to make my life so happy, but you know what i mean... I looked at the date i report to the mtc and its a month after John Mayer's concert! I get to go! I will be there, you count on it! I heard Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson are coming too this summer but i don't know if i will be able to see them or not, I'd love to that's for sure! But at least I'll get to see john.
Life is great! Who needs school anyways? Why worry about the paper? just get it done, listen to John Mayer, and let your life just flow on by. This too shall pass.. There really isn't anything worth losing my breath about, everything is fine, its not do or die! Life is good! Don't worry, be happy! and listen to john Mayer! That should definitely be a golden rule, somebody write that down.

Tribute to the highly underrated
I have been thinking about various items and things that everyone uses in life but no one really gives credit. You know what I'm talking about! and if you don't, just follow me for a minute or two.
Lets start with shoelaces. That's right, i said shoelaces. You've got em, your mom's got em, your sister's got em, I've got em, every one's got em! Seriously, and if you don't like shoelaces i don't know if i can talk to you right now, Velcro is ridiculous, Velcro is for wimps who cant handle the coolness of shoelaces. If it weren't for shoelaces, how would we carry anything on our feet?!! and if we didn't have anything on our feet, think of all the bad stuff that could happen, i mean shards of glass, sticks and stones (no pun intended) and all sorts of stuff could just turn out to be just flat out evil if we didn't have the protection provided by shoelaces. Now i know there are the people who are fanatics of walking on live hot coals, but to them i ask one question.... why? why on earth would you put yourself through all that misery when you simply could get a pair of shoes with shoelaces to hold them on your feet. Seems logical to me, but lets move on.
Dog leashes. What kind of chaotic world would we live in today if we didn't have dog leashes to control our over-eager, highly curious dogs from running all over the place. Some kids wouldn't even come outside to play, for fear that some monster dog will come and eat them! i know i wouldn't come out! Just kidding, dogs rule and cats drool, there i said it. get over it cat people. No but thank goodness for whoever invented the dog leash. even if it was just for a walk around the block, it sure saves us some time by allowing us not to run clear to vernal chasing our beloved dogs.
Garbage Cans. This will be my last one. It'll be short too. I am so thankful for garbage cans. they always hold my trash, even if it stinks, if its wet, sticky, big, small, or any other word to describe it. The garbage can will always be there to hold what i don't want, all so i don't have to. What a good thing a garbage can is to us. Thank goodness for the garbage can.
Hopefully i got y'all thinking about the things we take for granted, because we really have so much we don't even think about. The house, the bed, the TOILET PAPER!!!! we have so much to be grateful for, and if you didn't stop and think about it today shame on you.
Hasta Luego muchachos!

The temple!
k now that I have set up this blog, I figured it would be used for humor and good stuff like that. Nevertheless, this entry will be a serious one.
It will also be very short, because i can not say too much about it other than my feelings. I want to discuss the temple. Yes! I went through the temple yesterday. It was so amazing! I can not tell you all that happens in there because we aren't supposed to discuss it, however know this. I have a tremendous respect for the house of the Lord.
The spirit was so strong! i felt so good in there, it has definitly become my favorite place to be.... and yes that means the kitchen is bumped to second!!
No but seriously, i am making it a goal to go at least once each week, and today i was looking at my week this week, i could even go maybe 3 or 4 times!!! There will never be a wasted moment before my mission. I will assure you. I honestly cant explain how good I feel, this is completly inadequate in describing my feelings. Just go to the temple, in fact, invite me to come with you. Then you'll know.
I am done now, later world!

Once Upon a time...
And so it begins! I have no idea how this will turn out or if i will use it as much as i think i will now, but i will give it a shot anyways, we shall see!
I am thinking I will just start blogging with a bunch of miscellaneous stuff to get the hang of it. My name is Rob Nelson. What a start right? yeah but hobbies include Frisbee, water ski-ing, water polo, swimming, video games, and anything else really, I'm pretty easily entertained. I am way happy right now though because tomorrow i get to go through the temple! man that will be great, I'm excited for it. I've heard there is no way to prepare for it really, you just need to make sure your worthy and ready to feel the spirit once your in there! I feel ready, and anxious actually to get in there.
I also am excited for my mission. That's right, i got my mission call! Melbourne Australia here i come!!! well not til august but you know, I'm still on my way! Right now i am dealing with all the visa stuff so i can get out there, that's somewhat of a mess to deal with. But hey! you know! whatever it takes to finally get out there right? Coleton and me are the last two to go, but i think its safe to say we are just about as anxious as anyone could be if not more to leave! Its hard watching all of your friends leave and your stuck here.... going to school...
Speaking of school, I am just about done!!! I have a paper to turn in next Thursday but I'm not going to worry about it til Sunday or Monday. But as far as lectures go i am done!! It feels so great to finally be done, now I will have my associates and when i get back from the mission i can just jump right into school somewhere, and hopefully then will i know what i want to do when i grow up! As of right now though, I'd rather not grow up! Can I not just be a kid forever and ever?!?! I would enjoy that so much!
Well world, this is it, I am finishing my first blog! Way cool right? Y'all take care and keep in touch!
