"Verse and Voice"

Alas for those who devise wickedness
and evil deeds on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in their power.
They covet fields, and seize them;
houses, and take them away;
they oppress householder and house,
people and their inheritance.

- Micah 2:1-2

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.

Worship Him Where He Is Found

I am thinking about taking time off to hopefully go to the middle east and gain perspective and watch the world. I said that I am HOPEFULLY going to, this is a big HOPEFULLY...i dont know how any of it will pan out.

songs that rule as of right now:
Psalters - Banner
Leatherface - New York State and Speak in Tongues
Inkwell - Shine So Bright
Sunny Day Real Estate - Seven and In Circles
Twelve Hour Turn - Water Under Bridges Rise and Like A Cool Breeze Blowing Through Your Wallet






Brian and I practiced the songs tonight, it went really well. I am really really into it. I think Yield is going to be the name of the band, but I dont know.

anyone know where to get a cheap bass head?

I want to experience the love of God so much that I am changed by it. I want to see all things reconciled to He Who Loves Me. I want to see it all come down tonight...

"people like you and I will never know the easy way..."

& Serenade

Will you come and what will I say
Oh I have been so distant and unhappy
Like I could disappear

When I was a boy I saw things
That no one else could see
So why am I so blind at twenty-two
To the hope that is all around me
Filling up this room

On the road on my own
Waiting for the words to fall from your tongue
Into my ears

When I was a boy I could hear
Symphonies in seashells
So why am I so deaf at twenty-two
To the sound of the driving snow
That drives me home to you

-Mineral

This sums up how I feel most of the time. I feel a sense of loss. I feel anxious, like I will never stop being stressed or worried about school. I feel like school is the most important thing right now, and in actuality it is the farthest thing from it.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LIVE LIFE?

It looks as if everything I thought being out of high school would be like is far from the truth.

I am desperate for renewal; I am desperate for peace.

please do not forsake me.

Trompe Le Monde and existence

I have new friends at school. We spend a good deal of time together.

We now have theme nights... tomorrow is Mexican night and we are making tacos.


I am still battling between feeling at home and far from any form of purposefulness.

A little side note... I have been getting a lot of really awesome music lately and I am excited about it...but on the negative side, I have been really far away from a lot of things that I want to accomplish while I am down here.

listen to Leatherface, HWM, Twelve Hour Turn, Pygmy Lush, and the Pixies...

Jesus, I don't want to be angry anymore.
