This is the kind of thing YouTube recommends for me

Based on my previously viewed videos:



But really, how awesome is that?

Animal Music!

I was never much of a fan of America's Funniest Home videos. However, I think I might have enjoyed it more if people had written songs to go with the videos. Enjoy:



Seriously, how freaked out must that little girl be when all those raccoons are chasing her?

Minute to Win It

My favorite awkward celebrity on my favorite new game show? You bet I'll be watching this!

Powerful Stuff

In case you weren't aware (and if you know me at all, you are most certainly aware), I am a huge fan of Donald Miller. This video is from a DVD series for small groups called Convergence that he is the host of. The DVDs cover many different topics, but in this particular clip, Don and his guests Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman talk about suffering, and the misconception that once we accept Christ as our Savior our lives will become perfect and problem-free. I know I often fall into the trap of believing that my life should be easy because of my relationship with Jesus, and it's always helpful to be reminded that that just is not the case!

She & Him

I have a confession to make: despite being a fan of Zooey Deschanel and her musical style, I have never really looked into or tried to listen to any of the music by her band She & Him. However, I came across this music video, and, of course, I loved it!
Not only is Zooey looking as cute as ever, this is probably one of the best music videos I have seen in a while. I can't remember if I have discussed my feelings on music videos on this blog before, but I'll keep it short and sweet: I think most music videos these days are terrible. Either they don't have any sort of plot or theme, or the story they do have has nothing to do with the song.

This music video for "In The Sun" by She and Him, does not suffer from either of these qualities. It is simple, fun, and has some great choreography. In the description it says that Zooey describes Volume 2 as a "feel good album," and this video definitely captures that essence!

Cats.

For those of you who were not already aware, I am a cat person. Dogs are nice, but sometimes they are just too friendly. While I'm all about catching Frisbees and having fun, anyone who knows me well knows that my inner-most personality is much more like that of a cat.

Anyway, enough comparing myself to animals, this is getting weird.

The point is, I really want a cat. I am also unable to get a cat, for many reasons, a few being: my dad is allergic, my family is generally not cat fans, and cats aren't allowed in dorm rooms.

Now, I know people have their issues with cats, but I mean, look at this adorable creature:Can you honestly tell me you wouldn't want a cute little fur ball like this one rolling around your room?

Another reason cats are better than dogs is that they are way more self-reliant. Dogs need so much attention! Not so with cats! They don't need to be taken for walks, they learn to go to the bathroom in a litter box, and they aren't trying to play with you ever minute of the day. The only pet easier to take care of than a cat is a goldfish (which really might actually be harder to take care of - have you ever tried to keep one of those things alive?).

I know most of the people reading this (if anyone reads it in the first place) will be dog people, and you know what, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with loving dogs! All I'm saying is that you've got to stop hating on the cats! What did they ever do to you?

And on a last note, when I do have a cat someday, it's going to be a genius like this one:

Breathe

Rob Bell is amazing.

As we are coming up to finals, I think we all need a reminder to breathe, and I don't think there could be a better one that this right here:

What are you gonna do with Jesus?

Amazing Music Video

I feel like music videos these days are all the same - set in a club, people dancing, the singer singing in various locations and outfits. This is one of the most imaginative music videos I have seen, well, ever. I think it may be one of my favorites of all time. I had never even heard of this song or this artist, but as soon as I saw this, I loved it.

Amazing Animals

I'm not a big animal person, but in the past few months, I have seen two different videos on YouTube that really just make me smile.





(The music on this one is somewhat annoying.)
