Random Update

School has started, so I will most likely be blogging a lot less. Anyways I've been sick lately, lately being the past two days. Saying that I've been bored, because miraculously my teachers decided they would be nice and not give us an overload of homework. So what have I been doing... Nothing much. I'm a twitterer or a tweeter or whatever it is. (You can see the widget on the left hand of the page) And I follow different people from different places and one of them just happens to be Ethan Luck. Previously I was not familiar with the Antoine Dodson "Bed Intruder" craze on Youtube, but Ethan Luck got together with Hayley Williams(Paramore) & Jordan Pundik(New Found Glory), & they did a Pop Punk Version of the original autotuned song. I found this to be extremely hilarious.

Anyways, enough about that. This summer I really wanted to attend Purple Door. Every band that was performing there that I wanted to see I had already seen this summer, or I would have the oppurtunity to see in 3 weeks from now at Uprise Festival, except one. And that one band I wanted to see really bad is like my favorite. Ok they are number 2 after Switchfoot, so this was a pretty big deal for me. I had 2 free tickets to go to Purple Door & no ride. I was pretty bummed. No that's a lie. I was extremely disappointed. Besides the point, Purple Door was 2 weeks ago, and in 2 weeks that same band will be playing a show 1 hour away from me! Yeah this probably sounds really dumb to you all, but this is a pretty big deal to me. Jesus is who I live for, but music is how I live. So that to me was quite a miracle.

So that's pretty much the update about me. How about you?

Choose the Gladness. Join the Madness.

Yup. I gave up going to a regular public school to come to a rigorous arts school that doesn't let out until 5 pm. To be glad I had to get mad.. The schedule is insane, but to say I didn't love it would be a lie. I'd better be busy as a bee than be at home and well, just be at home.
I gotta run, I have school tomorrow!

A Chance To Say Good-Bye

"Will this be the last plane ride in your swing?
The harvest moon has come
And with her sadness brings
My mom says "It's too cold to play"
So I'm just waiting here
Thinking on our sunny days
But now there's Autumn in your eyes
I just wanted a chance to say good-bye
A final burst of Summer-time
I just wanted a chance to say good-bye
There's nothing quite as hard or easier than time
My world is coming down and no one seems to mind
Where I once played there's no sound
And all your pretty leaves have fallen to the ground
And now there's Autumn in your eyes
A sad fare-well to Summer-time
I just wanted a chance to say good-bye
From the North the icy breath is all around me
Blowing and snowing, changing you
Now there's Autumn in your eyes
I just wanted a chance to say good-bye
A long fare-well to Summer-time
I just wanted a chance to say good-bye"
~Children 18:3

Tomorrow is my last day of summer vacation. That was the song that came to mind & I deemed it worthy to post here. Sigh. Summer was great, but I'm ready for the next thing. So this is my way of giving an ode to Summer, and a way to say I'm moving on.

Go check out Children 18:3. They just released a new CD Rain's A' Comin' on June 28th. It's AMAZING!!

SUBURBA

So today House of Heroes new CD Suburba officially came out! Yesterday it was on http://amazon.com for $2.99 with an exclusive bonus track. I bought it of course. The new CD is simply amazing! This CD's lyrics relate more with the common everyday person and the middle class. Your average commercial family, with a nice home, with a nice car, in a kid friendly suburban neighborhood. The last record, The End Is Not The End(to me) seemed to be a lot about war. Suburba's music is simply amazing and this band is definatly on top of their game.
Go buy it now! It's still $2.99 on amazon!
