Justin Bieber… is why I like Hanson more and more.

hansonvsbieber

I was going to say Hanson is better simply because they have an “Activism” tab on their website.
But Justin Bieber has “Charity Movement.”

I was going to say Hanson is better because all three guys are such talented musicians.
But Justin Bieber plays drums, piano, guitar and trumpet.

I was going to say Hanson is better because May 6, 1997 is “Hanson Day” in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
But June 19, 2012 is “Justin Bieber Day” in New York City.

I was going to say, “Hanson took fans by storm with ‘Mmm Bop’.”
But Justin Bieber had “Baby.”

So what is it that makes Hanson better than Bieber? I don’t know, it’s just a feeling, I guess.

Animal Tracks in Snow

Below are a few animal tracks I came across north of Cincinnati, Ohio. With a good amount of snow, it was nice to be able to see these even hours after the animals passed through. There’s one set of tracks that I can’t identify. If you know what it is, feel free to respond below!

Christmas in the Snow

The highlight of this season is supposed to be family, being together, all that kind of stuff… but secretly, my favorite thing to do is take the dogs to the woods behind my sister’s house in Ohio. Piper (a beagle) hunts as if there’s no tomorrow. Asia (mixed) runs as if she stole something. It’s fun to watch. Here are a few pics…

You Heard It, She Said An “I Do”

One of my favorite TV show scenes is from “A Different World” when Whitley is about to marry Byron. The minister goes through a list of commitments the bride and groom are making to each other. He asks Byron if he will follow through, and Byron responds with an “I will.” Whitley is given the same speech and when it’s her turn to confirm, she freezes. Everywhere she turns, she sees Dwayne Wayne’s face. (And if you don’t already know this, Dwayne was her long-time boyfriend, another main character on the show.) So anyway, Whitley’s mother encourages her to say “I will” because the ceremony can’t continue without her verbal confirmation. Just then, Dwayne, who slipped into the wedding without drawing attention to himself, stands up and asks Whitley, “Will you?” It’s a superbly dramatic scene! Dwayne resists the groomsmen who try to wrestle him away from the ceremony, all while asking Whitley to marry him. She says “I do!” Her mom tells the minister to go on with the Byron-groomed ceremony because Whitley said “I do.” The minister sums up the entire scene by asking, “but to whom?!” It’s a fantastic moment. Dwayne and Whitley get married and the crowd cheers. Well, at least her side did.

As I navigate through my 30s, I know I’m closer now to the husband I want to be. The funny part is… I’m still single. But in the things I do, in who I date, I’m aiming towards the “I do.” The big question still remains, though, “but to whom!?”
