My friends and I have released a new short film called "Radicali." We want to spread it around and have everybody go see it on the site we have created for it.
You can watch it here. (hold down shift when you click if you don't want to leave this page-It will open this in a new window)
Please leave any comments or questions you have on the site and we will respond as quickly as we can.
Also, if you click on our names (well, all but mine) you will go to the websites of each of the other guys in the group. It's all pretty good stuff. You can find out more about us that way.
All right. Thanks, and enjoy!

NEWS
FEBRUARY THE 14TH will be our wedding day, just so everybody knows. We are getting married in the Timp Temple and our reception will be at Somewhere Inn Time in Lindon.
Peace out.
Peace out.
Betrothment...ing.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...
So... We're engaged!
Mary got home from her mission (Geneva, Switzerland) on Thanksgiving Day. We were officially engaged (ring and all) by the following Thursday.
So we've been engaged for one whole week now. It's fun. I'd rather be married, but this is exciting.
A lot of people have already told us and I know that many people are thinking that we've been moving a little fast, and maybe too fast, but Mary and I are both thinking: FINALLY!
We started dating our senior year of high school, which was the 2003-2004. We've been together since December of 2003, but we weren't always "together."
After graduation in May of 2004, Mary left to go to school at Utah State. She came to visit every few weeks and things were tough, but we got through. I was always paranoid that she was going to find some hottie hunkball of deliciousness and leave me all alone... I got over it. Eventually.
January 12th, 2005: I enter the Missionary Training Center to serve a mission in Mexico. So from January of 2005 to January of 2007, I was on my mission while Mary was at school.
December 25th, 2006: A phone call. I get my Christmas phone call and Mary tells me that she has been called to serve in the Geneva Switzerland Mission and she leaves May 9th, 2007.
January-May 2007: Bliss. This was the gap that we had where we actually got to be together while we were together. We spent the roughly four months together going on dates and talking and just being together and trying to be strong for what we knew what was inevitable.
May 9th, 2007: Goodbye Mary. She leaves and I'm sad. While she serves in France and Luxembourg, I am going to school and work. I talk to her on the phone on Christmas and Mother's Day.
November 27th, 2008: Mary comes home. I freak out and go completely crazy. I surprise her by being at her house when she comes home from getting released by the Stake President. We hug. A lot.
Since then, we got into talking and making plans very quickly, our engagement being great evidence of that. We had a ring picked, a reception hall booked, and a temple reserved within the first week of her being home. She still has some adjusting to go through, but we're getting there are we are very happy.
"So how did you propose?" (That was you asking me that question, by the way.)
I made a video about all of our inside jokes and cutesy memories and sent her on a little scavenger hunt throughout the house to find some stuff that was also relevant to our awesomeness.
The very end of the video tells her to go to her room and POOF! Out of nowhere, I appear. I'm painted in blue and I sing 'Never had a friend like me' from Aladdin. Just kidding. I don't do that. I hand her a little note, which she reads out loud, followed by me dropping to one knee and proposing a betrothement. That isn't a word.
Betrothing.
She said yes. Wooooo!

I'm Engaged! But First, My News Article for My Journalism Class...
With Thanksgiving nearly two weeks behind us and Christmas closing in, holiday traditions of every kind are becoming more and more prevalent. Lights, stockings, and ornaments adorn many homes and provide a warm glow during during a bitter Utah December.
The warm glow has seemed to be mostly restricted to only the lights this year, however. The current economic state of the country has driven millions to start crossing items off their children's wish lists long before Christmas even arrives, removing the joyous glow that usually accompanies the season.
Consumers and retailers alike have been witness to the frightened frenzy on Wall Street that gave our economy its biggest scare in decades. This fear and the frenzy has caused consumers to do one thing: protect.
Retailers know one important truth though: consumers will still have Christmas, they will just be a little more careful about how they spend their money.
In response to this, retailers like JCPenney's and Macy's are lowering prices by up to sixty percent and advertising a plethora of bargains in an attempt to attract shoppers to their stores.
But how concerned are we really?
Shane and Dawny Anderson, a newlywed couple from Pleasant Grove say there aren't any out-of-the-ordinary concerns in their home, because, "we're already poor."
"The only thing seems to be grocery shopping," said Mrs. Anderson, noting the benefits of her husband having a job with the government.
Carol Edwards, a Social Worker from Wilmington, North Carolina has shed a different kind of light on the comparatively dismal season.
"The Holiday season of 2008 may offer us a gift in disguise. This year our family plans to do a very de-stressed holiday season that highlights the family and the creativity of the individuals in the family."
Edwards detailed how hand-made gifts and the presence of family would be the essential but ultimate elements to their holiday celebrations.
"This arrangement honors all our family no matter what their circumstances and it provides an environment free of conspicuous consumption. You have it within you to ease the clamors of anxiety and to re-write your script this Holiday Season."
