Does All The Good U Do Matter @ All??

I titled this post the way that I did because that is how I felt last night and am still feeling this way right now. I wonder sometimes if God recognizes all the good that certain people if they cannot do other things that are "right." What I am saying is that I am a member of the LDS Church and I want to get Endowed, but I cannot right now because I feel like I am not prepared and I have certain circumstances that are prohibiting me from getting endowed at this moment in time and I feel like at least I am going to Church, partaking of the Sacrament, & doing Missionary Work and service when I can. Does that matter in the least? I mean, I hate it when Elders tell me and other people too I assume that "you will not go to the Celestial Kingdom if u are not endowed or sealed", etc...no one should feel pressured into getting married or to go on a mission in order to go to the Celestial Kingdom. I feel like certain people in the Church are too forceful and I just don't approve of the pressure! I mean I realize that there are other ordinances besides baptism in order to receive exhalation, but it is not a sin if you do not get married, get sealed, have kids, etc. I cannot believe that you will go to a far off bad place if those things does not happen! I had to get this off my chest so I just blogged what I felt.

Fat Tuesday "BKA" Mardi Gras 2009!!

Wow! Today was so cool! I mean, at first I got out there and it was crowds of people and the streets were filled just waiting for the truck floats to arrive and come down the street and we had to wait an hour before the parade went under way.



At first, when it started, I was BEHIND the barricade and I was not catching n e thing because there was a truck float in front of us and all the other floats were passing on side of it so when saw that people were getting in the street to catch things, that is when I deiced to get in the street and boy did I catch some things when I got in the street! I had a blast and I caught cups, Frisbees, footballs, large and long big heavy beads.



The beads that I caught I had trouble jumping up for more beds being afraid that they would break and my neck was killing me!



All in all, I had a great Fat Tuesday!!

2009 Oscars/Academy Awads!

The Oscar/Academy Awards were incredible and I am glad that Kate Winslet won best Lead Actress and that Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor; Heath really outdid himself as the Joke in "The Dark Knight!"


I love the Academy Awards and I love movies and I am so glad that these people get at least nominated, even if they did not win-at least they were recognized and that is a really high honor!


The ONLY category that I was interested in is and will be every year: "Best Motion Picture."


The 2008 Best Motion Picture movie was "Slumdog Millionaire" and even though the Curious Case of Benjamin Button had MUCH MUCH more nominations; it still did not win but I loved that movie and I always will! it was the best movie I saw on Christmas Day and 2008!

Napoleon Parade Rolls On....

The parade today was packed and I had a great time as usual!! Cannot wait til Fat Tuesday!! The beads that this dude was throwing.....I was trying to catch them all!! Good Practice for Mardi Gras!

"Isis Parade" in Metairie

This parade was cool, it was short and only had 21 floats, I did not catch that many beads and cups but hopefully on Fat Tuesday I plan to catch a whole lot more! I had a good time tonight! Kid Rock was the celeb in this parade!

Movie Premiere of "Madea Goes To Jail"

I love Tyler Perry's movies; his plays do not interest me as much as his movies does-but some of his plays he turns into movies! But this movie I saw last night was hysterical! I was laughing so hard last night people would have thought that I was drunk! And I do not drink!

His movies always has a theme and if you pay attention and listen to the words that his cast is saying, you can immediately understand his concept and where he is taking it. His films may b funny but there are parts in all his films that have a deep meaning and that can touch ur heart!

"The Return" of a Legend:ex-Missionary J. Rosenvall

My friend that I had the pleasure of meeting while he was serving a 2-year mission for the LDS Church returned home to Utah today and I called him because I swore to him that I would call him the DAY he got home from his mission! You do NOT know how wonderful it felt to talk to him after he left the Westbank and me many many months ago! He made a tremendous impact on my life and I will never forget him for that or all that he has done for me to help me become a better person and member of the Church! I love him! I am so blessed to have him in my life as a friend and as a constant reminder that God places wonderful people in our lives for varied reasons, whatever the reason was that He sent Jeremy in my life...I THANK HIM EVERY DAY!

Friday The 13th vs. Friday The 13th!

Today is usually a very superstitious day to some people, but NOT for me! In fact, I did a dare! I went and saw the new Friday the 13th remake film tonight and it was more gory and comical than scary. I mean how the people died was funny and the music and effects is what made it funny to me, really!

It rained heavy on and off all day today as a matter of fact and I like when it thunderstomred because that made the movie a lot scarier because scary movies now in this day and age are simply not scary enuf. If I fall asleep or don't jump during a scary movie. It is not horrifying enuf for me!

My friend Brady is the same way-we need GREAT HORROR to scare us and the crime rate is about the only thing that does that for us besides movies! I hate it when people talk and kick my dang seat during a movie! Those are my two pet peeves in a movie theater.

There were two parades today that occurred, but I did not attend n e one of them because I wanted to stand in lien to get a good seat for the movie :(

I will go to some parades next week or even this Sunday. They have become more violent rather than enjoyable! That is y I do NOT attend them as regularly as I use too! Safety comes first!
