The South won the war!

You think that I am lying

The South won the war,

Is everyone crying?

Wait a minute you say that not what I was taught

The south won the war!

Ok now you’re looney

The south won the war

Now pass the banana pudding.

I can’t believe your saying this, you’re making me distrauught

The south won the war!

Im starting to believe you

The south won the war

I am thinking it’s all true




If you keep repeating and repeating it must be a true plot

Let the Amen Sum All Our Praises

I have been moved by this statement as of late. About a month ago I was asked to be part of a multi-stake choir to sing for the priesthood session of general conference. Of course, I said yes. Because the actual experience of singing during a worldwide conference was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Yet I did not look forward to singing in a choir that big and to the rehearsals. I guess I had a bad attitude and I needed to be taught some new virtues. You see I don't like big choirs because they don't like it when I do things to stand out. I love theater because even with a small role there are always opportunities to stand out. And if not I make the opportunity. That is not the case with a large choir especially one that will sing before the world like at general conference. In fact, great effort is made to unify each individuals appearance and especially their vocal quality. I have always been a "look at me" kind of person. So it is uncomfortable for me to sit

I confess I am an imposter!

             I have to come clean. I have to expose a secret side to my life. For the past ten years I have been hiding behind a mask, well actually a beard. I am now ready to confess, my name is Andrew Mair and I play Santa Claus.   It all started innocently enough. My younger brother had taken up the habit several years before me. And I told myself that that was not for me. I would never do that. But then I bought a Santa hat, it made me look jolly and "Christmassy".     Then I would throw in a "ho ho ho" from time to time just to try it out.   Even still I never thought I would become one of “those” people.   And then one day while walking through the Brigham City Deseret Industries thrift store I saw it, A Santa Suit.   I wasn’t sure if it was had all of its pieces, or if it was still intact and functional.   It had everything, a beard, a full suit, a belt, boot coverings, a hat and a wig.   If I bought the suit, what would I do with it?   Would I be one of

The Extreme Middle?

I’m sitting in the extreme middle.  That’s at least how I like to describe myself, but all it really means is that I do not completely hold to one side of the political spectrum or the other.  I don’t like to describe myself as an independent, but I like the thought of being and independent when it comes to thinking.   The reason I use the term “extreme” in my description of myself is that while an extreme right or extreme left thinking person would take a very hard stance and rigid response to their beliefs and reject anything that is not.  I am an extreme middle thinking person which means I reject any hard stance on nearly anything.  Any rigid and hard stance in my opinion means you have decided not to think anymore.  You are going to use that stance to make your decision for you.  What’s funny is that I know very few people who when push comes to shove would actually hold this hard rigid stance in real life.  Many people in my area when talking about immigration will vocally rej
