Guest Wall


So GA, Joe Spady, Dain and I have created a guest wall for the apartment! Whenever you stop by you must sign our little wall of weird so there is proof of you being in our pad!

Love you all thanks for the emails about the misspellings and such. Makes my day to see my errors:-)

Okay though I am tired and off to bed, making podcast #2 tomorrow so the best is yet to come.


GOOD NIGHT MOON

Momentary Thing

"After so long on the wrong side, everything I had and I wanted is gone!"

Music is a huge part of my life. Some of my favorite moments in life revolve around the song that was playing on the radio or my iPod while I was experiencing a moment that I wouldn't forget.

I am one of those people who needs their music for just about everything. In high school if you were to see me walking in the halls you'd see my white headphones attached to my ears. I was a drifter through those halls because I wouldn't be paying attention to anything except the song that was playing at that moment.

It's been a long time since i've been able to focus on my music and my old desires of making my own album. I remember study hall my freshmen year I would spend that time writing and brainstorming ideas for songs. Things that were personal and meant something and would be good to hear.

One of my favorite things in life is when you hear a song that is describing your mood. You hear that song and get goosebumps, because you are thinking wow this song is describing me perfectly. You then think that the song was written for you or that you were meant to hear that song at that exact moment.

I am a person who believes that all things happen for a reason. I believe that I was supposed to hear 155 at the beach this morning and that God knows why it moved me the way it did.

I am only looking forward to what happens next with my music and Gods plan.

Can't Think of A Posting Title For This One


I was reading the book Fight Club yesterday and if you haven't read it, it's twisted. Well the stories unnamed narrator has a this problem where he goes to support groups for random diseases so he can feel better about himself. He can't sleep at night because he is depressed and the medications he has are not working, so he came up with another way to feel better about his life. His favorite one that he goes to is testicular cancer, because when he goes there he hugs the crying men and goes home and sleeps well.
While I was reading this I began thinking from the narrator perspective. What if I was at my whits end with saddness and nothing made me happy? What if the only way I ever found happiness for only a short period of time was when I left support groups for termanilly ill people?
As twisted as it may be, I empathized with this unnamed narrator. I began feeling sorry for his monotonous lifestyle and battle with depression.
If only there was that one character in the book that said "You know what you need? You need Jesus." Ok that would ruin the plot of Fight Club and make it not as good as it is, but still. I felt obligated to jump into the story and hand him my Bible.
If only...
