Sweet Ride Brought Back to Life!!!!

So some of you might know that Grandma Jenkins let me have her old awesome Olds, it was like a dream come true, such an awesome car. Well, it got me to Cali (and I kid you not I had so much stuff in that car they almost couldn't get it on the tow truck), but as I drove to my house in San Fran I had to go up a big hill and the next thing I know it's billowing smoke out from under the hood. All I knew was that it was leaking transmission fluid, and then I got so busy with school I didn't have time to check it out. I just took public transportation and feared the worst. Well, I talked to a Mechanic (our ward's second counselor) and he told me to check something, and I fixed the leak today with my roommates help!!! So I'm back in business, but I haven't decided if I am going to keep it or not, but it at least I have it if I want to visit Kim in L.A. and it will be easier to visit the Blodgies in Walnut Creek. So it's good new anyway you look at it. Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins.

p.s. A new blog might be starting soon, look for Fashionably Harrison to come your way!

Here's a resolution

So Tracy and I talk about law school sometimes, mostly since no one else wants to talk about it. I guess I can understand people not wanting to talk to you about your exclusive club that they are not a member of, but whatever. The point for this post is twofold. First, Tracy told me that she tries to go to all the speakers they have at her school and I think that it is a great idea. There are always great people coming and sharing and a lot of time they have free lunch, so we need to take advantage of this unique time in our life to enjoy these opportunities.
The second part of this post was that I went to a talk by one of the Judges from the 9th circuit court of appeals which is I think the largest circuit court in the federal system, not to mention fairly liberal. The meeting was on Religion and the Establishment clause. I was surprised to hear that this justice supports mixing religion and politics as long as one church is not supported more than another. I just thought that this was interesting to hear in a time where many people think that there should be more separation. I think the key idea is equality, as long as churches are treated equally it is fine. For anyone who knows someone very religious (and I consider myself to be such a person) they know that those people cannot separate religion from any part of their life, in some way it permeates everything.

Here's a wordless Wednesday for ya!

Takin to the Slopes

I just thought that everyone might want to see how good the snow was and how cool we all are. Now that I'm back in San Fran and the weather is in the sixties, that's right I said sixties, I feel comfortable reliving some of my cold Utah memories from during the Christmas break. The truth is though that even though I liked snowboarding, a lot, seeing the fam was the real treat and I miss them a little out here. Hopefully they miss me too and will come out and see me soon. We have about a million H&M's out here people, I'm not even joking.Yeah, good times were had by all and it was a sick pow pow day. Oh well, next year is right around the corner. Hope everyone has a good year and enjoys all of their school and work.

Hold your horses

There are varied and sundry posts on the way but I didn't have time today because I was writing in my journal (love ya Mom).

Oh Yeah . . .

I guess I could be more humble, grateful, considerate . . . all those little tiny things. I guess.

Resolve re-solve

How about some new year resolutions? I'm not big on these things really, I think that we should be honest with ourselves and make changes as they become necessary, but still sometimes it is easier if we make a goal and set a time limit.
From what I understand a resolution means we resolve to do or not do something, if you break down resolve, it becomes re-solve, so just solve all of the problems in your life again for the new year. I told my Mother that I don't really have anything to resolve or to solve in my life, except maybe to get married, and you really should not put a timetable on marriage so that's out as a resolution. Seriously though, I guess I could resolve to at least be more proactive and outgoing when it comes to relationships. That's just the type of vague resolution that I can keep.
Besides that I guess this is a good time to reaffirm decisions in my life. To strive to be kind and friendly, to follow the spirit, and to remember the choices I have made and the reasons why I made them. I really feel like I am becoming more of an adult and I am not sure if that is necessarily a good thing since I am already very responsible. I guess I resolve to think about the things I do. Way back in high school I decided that our mental abilities define what we can be, so I am going to try to make sure that I am who I want to be and that I understand why I am making the decisions that I make. By doing this I hope to avoid being swept along by the fickle winds of fate, I can at least control my attitude and my outlook. I also resolve to find ways to enjoy myself in whatever I do, man is that be might have joy. Once more I just want to clarify that these are not new things really, this is just a good time to make sure I am acting in accordance with what I know to be right and true. Merry New Year to all and to all a good year.
