Show tf i^escfay'Sepf Jake Shimabukuro Jake Shimabukuro, a Hawaiian native, performed for a packed Kent Concert Hall Tuesday evening as part of the Arts and Lectures series at USU. Shimabukuro displayed a unique side of the ukulele to the over 1,000 students who attended the event. His lightning fast fingers and overwhelming energy had everyone in the audience cheering him on. Shimabukuro played a variety of music including, jazz, Hawaiian, classical, rock and the blues. Most of the songs Shimabukuro played were original compostitions inspired by such things as his love of Shirley Temples, Kermit the Frog and songs his mother used to sing. Shimabukuro has been playing the ukulele since he was four years old. He is now 28 years old and has been touring all over the United States and Japan. His mother was Shimabukuro's first teacher and he said he fell in love with the instrument immediately.

But with so many people trying to vilify the modern diet, it's not easy to stick to your guns. After decades of misinformation and lies, we all are disposed to look at fat and sugar in a negative light. Thankfully there is a simple remedy for this problem. Whenever I'm confronted with these two words, I read them as "goodness" and "quick energy/' So, next time you look longingly at a DingDong, don't deny yourself. Instead, say "Oh my! This has thirty-six grams of goodness and forty-seven units of auick energy. Those are just the things that I need!" Second only to this nutrition label heresy is that awful tactic I will call the starving child method. When you balk at your roommate's bran muffin, he or she will undoubtedly say, "You should appreciate that. There are starving children in China who would kill for it." There are starving children in the world. I feel bad for them. But the bran muffin still sucks. Problem solved. So go out and eat. Winter's coming on; the love handles will keep you warm.
