Beginning The Beginning
sometimes when I don’t know what to write specifically about a very broad topic, I start by just saying
I don’t know what to write
Sometimes I dive right in
Sometimes I have some sort of magical build up
Sometimes my journal-blog entries are messy
Just kidding
they are always messy
but this time is different
or at least
this time should be different
this topic deserves the highest form of organization
It deserves an outline
forethought for days
planning
revisions
on second or third thought
this entry in the book of my life deserves much more than even that
maybe if I wrote....
a book series
a tv series
a major motion picture
would that be enough to fill the measure of what I have to say about this topic?
probably not
let's add to the list of things I should be writing/building/making
broadway play
short film
long film
book of poetry
medium film
a few more spin off series' of books
several Taylor Swift worthy albums
a symphony orchestrated concert or two
a couple of
netflix/hulu/amazonprime originals
I couldn't forget a Hallmark film
a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade
a viral video
the fastest growing chain food restaurant in the nation named after it
PLUS
an entire course at BYU-Hawaii dedicated to this part of my life
that has become my whole life
NAY
an entire MAJOR full of courses such as these
now we're talking
hire a psychic to commission Dr. Seuss to write a book about it?
too far?
this translation
that I am going to attempt right now
from my heart/mind/soul
into the English language
deserves
(in the words of Grace Vanderwal)
so
much
more
than
this
(a few blog posts)
but
it
is
what
it
is
(a few blog posts)
so
what in the world could it be that I am talking about
what subject is deserving of all of the worldliest highest forms of acclaim that I can think of
???
Well let me continue to stump you
because not only is it deserving of all of these worldly acclaims
it is of a spiritual hierarchy that goes back to the beginning of time
there is no end or beginning to time
which means this thing that I am talking about today
is something of an eternal nature
eternity
forever in both directions
this foundation of everything I have been laying
only scratches the surface
unfortunately...
that is as good of an intro as I can come up with
it is the very best I can do
(just thought of some more. Bollywood film, chapter in the bible, and an entire art exhibit in Rome)
so
what is it that I am talking about today?
the question is not what
but who
whom.... if you fancy
let me tell you
the whom that I speak of
that deserves all things celebratory on heaven and Earth
goes by the name of
Nathan
LeGrande
Witt
-------------------------------------------------------
As It Starts
That's a name I recognize
The first time I heard the name Nate Witt I was either on a beach or in my ocean home in Hawaii
my roommate friend was telling me about her summer that she was still coping from
there were a lot of toxic people she was working with
she moved branches you could say
about 4 hours north
and one of the people who helped her have hope in humanity because of their kindness, good humor, and "chill vibes" was this one dude named Nate Witt.
She talked about a lot of her former co-workers that were awesome
she never said Nate when she talked about him
just Nate Witt
I remember her saying over and over how perfect Nate Witt and our friend Sierra would be together
"but I don't think he is super into the church, idk.
still
His personality and Sierra's would be perfect. I have to set them up"
hehehe....
Fillin' in the Blanks
fast forward about 5-8 months
to fill in that time I will just add these points of note
-fn covid hits
-I interviewed for and got a spot as a future Nanny for the summer in Italy
-I don't go on the paid for cruise not paid for flight that my roommate friend invited me on for her and her co-workers to recruit more people (I still cannot believe I would have met him that way. I was saving money for Italy tho so no cruise for me.)
-fn covid gets worse
-Italy is so bad that the prophet holds a world-wide fast for Italy
-Ryanne decides to not go to Italy for the summer because it becomes illegal and impossible
-Ryanne goes back to Utah to be with family and finish the semester online bc
.....tp runs out on an island much faster than a mainland
because there are only ships and planes to deliver it from the mainland that is hours away by either
(I was not about to wipe my butt with my hand)
A few days after I got home
EARTHQUAKE
-roommate friend convinces me to work with her this summer
-her, me, a bunch of friends, and my brother move into a hotel in salt lake city
-Nate Witt does not move in because his fam is closer by
-I go on a date with a co-worker that lived in the hotel too
That's all you need to know to prepare you for what happened in our bosses backyard
(peep at the dude on Seth's shoulder)
