An Indian Father's Plea

Heard this song while I was camping this weekend.  It made me think of the reading, so I decided to share it with you..

"There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade."   (Rush; composer Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson; lyrics Neil Peart)

Intro to Hutto

Hello all!  My name is Mike Hutto, but for the most part people just call me Hutto.  I kinda like it like that.

Hopefully I will be able to continue my studies here at RIC.  I am getting the runaround from the RIDLT concerning my unemployment benefits while i am in school.  If I can't keep my benefits, I'll have to drop out.  I should find out in the next two weeks how it will go.  Cross your fingers for me.

I approach almost everything with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor.  Some people think I never take anything seriously.   I do take things seriously; it's the humor that keeps me sane.

I'm a music education major, so I spend most of my time practicing piano and trombone.  The rest of the time is spent eating, sleeping, and on XBOX Live.

I'm also the most powerful man in the universe under six feet tall. You heard it here first.
