George Albert Smith, Sr. (April 4, 1870 – April 4, 1951) was the eighth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, Smith was one of nineteen children of Mormon apostle John Henry Smith and one of his plural wives, Sarah Farr. His grandfather, for whom he was named, was also an LDS Church apostle as well as a cousin of Church founder Joseph Smith, Jr. John Henry Smith and George Albert Smith are the only father and son pair to have been members of the Quorum of the Twelve at the same time, having served in the Quorum together between 1903 and 1910.
Smith attended high school at Brigham Young Academy, graduating in 1884. He next graduated from the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah) in 1888. In 1896, he had joined the Republican Party and campaigned for William McKinley, who became President of the United States.[citation needed] He also favored Theodore Roosevelt, McKinley's successor.[citation needed]
Here in the dark
noone knows what I'm breaking
and often times
thinking of what I'm needing
If I could do without wanting more of this feeling
maybe then I won't think of you and what it's taking
I have a way of fucking up all that I'm given
and when I'm brave enough
I think of ways to help me make it
If I wanted to I'd crawl into
but my memory's fading...Im the ghostfish
and I need something to crawl inside
and leave me bleeding
Cos I've had enough of being sick of this inside me
This fucking waste of a life leaves me waiting...I'm the ghostfish
