The Rock, Transformers, and a Quarter

The picture above you is a picture I took before the fireworks in Estes. Pretty sweet if you ask me :)

As for the actual post...

The Rock was good this week. It was hectic, but I think it went really well once things settled down. The band played a cover version of Higher by Creed. It ended up being very tough for them as the lead singer lost his voice for part of the song and the projector that was displaying a quote kept going in and out. However, the rest of the day was good. It was tough for me to believe that, but many people told me otherwise and I truly appreciated their edification. John Drage talked on the topic of Heavenbound. He basically said that we are all meant for heaven and we need to realize that that is our home, not this planet.

Last night, I did a couple of fun things. First, I went on a hike with Eric, a friend of mine that works in Conference Service. We went to Gem Lake and it was a lot of fun. It was a short hike and the lake was really tiny, but it was really fun to gander at. After we got back, I went into town with Jennee. There we went to see Transformers. We had plenty of time before the movie started, so we went to KenTaco Fried BellKin, which is a Taco Bell and a KFC in the same restaurant. There I dropped a quarter in line and a man picked it up, and put it in his own wallet. I could assume that he thought it was his, but I kinda want to say that I believe that our society just really has ingrained within us the idea that anything that isn't bolted down is ours. It was an interesting moment, however insignificant it was.

Then I went and saw Transformers with Jennee ( like I said we were going to). It was awesome!! Sweet robots fighting and intensely awesome action. It doesn't get much better than robots fighting on the freeway. They even mentioned Faurier Transforms. It was so realistic!!! Oh wow, what a nerdy comment. Although when they mentioned signals processing, they said they should go from Faurier to Quantum Mechanics, which as far as I know, doesn't have a whole lot to do with signal processing. Still a sweet movie nonetheless. It was full of cheese, but what do you expect from organic robots fighting in a galactic war?

Until later...
