šŸŽµ Cees’ Favorite Things (Ultimate Version) šŸŽµ

(To the tune of ā€œMy Favorite Thingsā€)

Verse 1:

Mountain bike trails and canyons for climbing,

Carefree businesses, perfectly timing.

Tracking my health stats with Garmin, it sings—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Verse 2:

Nicolas Cage merch and rugs made with style,

Theo’s great questions that make me think awhile.

Camping in deserts and bike race flings—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Verse 3:

Thai food that’s spicy and junk snacks for racing,

Riding at sunrise, the cool air embracing.

Being a dad with the joy that it brings—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Verse 4:

Morning meditations and scripture reflections,

Tinkering apps for maximum connections.

Bonsai tree pruning and autumn that springs—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Verse 5:

Southwest points stacking on trips I am planning,

Building new ventures with bold understanding.

Madison’s grounding, her wisdom she brings—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Verse 6:

Elder Eyring’s talks and life lessons from failure,

Living by design—it’s my truest behavior.

Deserts and sunlight and cycling that zings—

These are a few of my favorite things.

Chorus:

When the kids fight, when the days drag,

When the stress is bad…

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don’t feel so sad!

The Elder Eyring Project

Can you have a favorite apostle? Is that allowed? I think so. Why not?

A while back (this is taking me longer than I would like to admit) I decided that I was going to listen to every talk Elder E. ever gave. Still working through them. If you want to follow the progress, check the links to each talk, you can see it all here.


Caged In: My Unstoppable Journey Through Nic Cage’s Filmography

Think I only make lists for apostle stuff? Nope! I’ve got one for the man, the myth, the legend—Nic Cage.

At some point, I thought, ā€œYou know what my life is missing? Watching every single Nicolas Cage movie.ā€ So here we are. I’ve put together this masterpiece of a list where you can follow along as I journey through the good, the bad, and the ā€˜what in the world did I just watch?’ moments of his epic filmography.

Feel free to join me in this cinematic rollercoaster. Check out my thoughts, see which ones I’ve crossed off, and maybe even question my life choices along the way.

You can watch the magic unfold and track my progress right here.

Muppet Treasure Island

Avast, ye scurvy dogs! If ye’ve not laid eyes on Muppet Treasure Island, ye be missin’ out on a bounty of laughs, heart, and high-seas hijinks! Tim Curry, the most devilishly delightful Long John Silver to ever sail the screen, commands the ship with charm sharper than a cutlass. Add the Muppets’ madcap mischief and toe-tappin’ tunes, and ye’ve got a film worth more than all the treasure in the Spanish Main!

Curry ain’t just a pirate—he’s a legend o’ the seven seas! šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø
