Dedication to the art of music is demonstrated to perfection in the form of indie folk band Bon Iver. Their album, titled "For Emma, Forever Ago," was based on inspiration found by lead singer Justin Vernon during a period in which he isolated himself in remote woods in Wisconsin.

The alleged purpose of this isolation was to recover from personal issues and agonies, including, but not limited to, breaking up with a girlfriend and a former band. Whether or not you enjoy their music, it is impossible not to admire dedication like that.

According to sources such as ESPN and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the University of Hawaii is in the finalizing stages of having its football team join the Mountain West Conference for the 2012 season. Oh my poor, conflicted soul.

Being born and raised in Hawaii, I've been a Warriors fan for the past 18 years. I have fond memories of covering them on the sidelines as a intern for KHON2 News in Honolulu, and I vividly remember the 2007 campaign, led by Colt Brennan, that sent Hawaii to its first BCS game. I rejoice at the move that will showcase and exemplify UH's talent.

One of the first memories I have of the year 2007 was celebrating what I thought was the failure and imminent collapse of the Bowl Championship Series. A team from Boise, Idaho, had beaten the University of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, 43-42, with what was probably the best play call I've ever seen.

At my high school, after the game, everyone was talking about how great the Boise State Broncos were, and I happily joined in singing the Broncos' praises. Conversations about the team continued when I arrived at TCU, but in a markedly different tone.

These days, I sometimes feel like my mind is being pulled in a million directions by a million separate threads 8212; most likely due to my smart phone. With iPhones and other devices rather pervasive throughout the market, people's minds are being pulled in more and more directions by the multitude of things these phones can do.

The reason smart phones are the most probable cause of our ever-stretched minds is that these phones can do so much. It is more of an argument to question what these phones cannot do, versus the abundance of things they can do.
