Acoustic

Lately I have been a total and complete sucker for acoustic music. Something just gets me when it's just a simple acoustic guitar, a good voice, the box thing they use for drums, and occasionally a piano.
Here's a list of some of my favorite songs currently:

Misguided Ghosts - Paramore

Minutes - Abandon Kansas

The Earth Falls Asleep - Abandon Kansas

Miracle Photo - Ruth

Upstart (Acoustic) - Queens Club

Less Talk (Acoustic) - Queens Club

A Mirror Is Harder To Hold - Jon Foreman

Heaven and Hell - Write This Down

Amazing Because It Is - The Almost

Up and Up (Acoustic) - Relient K

Broken From The Start - Jon Foreman

Monster - The Almost

Dead Giveaway - Ruth

There's A Word For You - Rocky Loves Emily

Hot Action (Acoustic) - Lights Out!

And this song isn't acoustic or have any acoustic parts in it, but it's soo good!

@reply - Set It Off

BOOM!

THIS NEW YEAR IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!!

I have so much hope and I can see already all the good things that are going to happen. It's going to be crazy awesome and I can't wait to get even more into.

In 3 weeks I might get to see 3 of my favorite bands, 2 are touring together and the other one is going to be in the area like 5 days laters. Shweeeeeeeeeett deal!

I can't think of a better way to start off the year than with a few good shows.

By the way there is this song @Reply by a band called Set It Off. Freaking amazing song. Go look it up, now!

Happy Holidays!

So yesterday was Turkey day and in 29 days it will be Christmas. BAM! SO EXCITED!
Can't wait!

Anyways. I'm thankful for many things. I'm thankful that my heart is beating and my lungs are breathing. I'm thankful that I have experienced all of the things I have. I thank God for those oppurtunites so much, knowing they are just the beginning. I'm thankful for the second chances.

Now moving along. I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Oh, yes, that is almost an understatement about how amazing it is. Go check out the Happy Christmas 5 from ToothandNail Records, and while you're there, be sure to get Once A Year by Poema. Lovvveeee it! Great great great great music!

Speaking of Poema, their music video 2 AM is on MTVu's Freshman thingy whatever, and you should really vote for them to win!

Go vote a million times!

Oh by the way, Speaking of Christmas, Rocky Loves Emily's American Dream is now out in Hot Topic's Nationwide. $5 says it's a great stocking stuffer. The EP is a dream. If you don't feel like going to Hot Topic, it's also available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

I probably sound like neverending advertisement. I've been told that quite a few times by people. Hahaha. Music is my thing, sorry I don't have much else to tell you about!

I Still Can't Believe You're Gone

My teacher died.

On November 7th 2010.

I'm going to miss him.

Getting over the fact that he is gone is easy.

Getting over the fact that we all are going to die.

Isn't so easy.

I'm not as scared of living life without my loved ones as I am of living no life at all.

Mr. Herr was a great man. He taught me great things. The most valuable lession that I learned from him though was this:

You never know when you're going to go out. No one is invincible. Live your life to the fullest and do what matters.

Mr. Herr always had a life lesson or value to everything he did. Even in his death he taught us all a lesson.

Thank you Mr. Herr. I'm going to miss you. You are our Phantom of the Opera.

"I'll remember you like yesterday. I still can't believe you're gone. I'll remember you like yesterday. And until I'm with you I'll carry on. So long my friend, so long." ~Jon Foreman

.s.i.x.t.e.e.n.

yeah that's how old i am.

right now i am so tired. and so bored. my parents are at a party thing for church so i am home alone doing homework. blah.

last night/this morning i went to a concert for my birthday of course. and it was off the hook. not literally like "omg amazing greatest show ever" because it wasn't. but when i say off the hook i mean the guys were totally nice and sooo sweet!

i accidentally ended up selling merch during their show. i don't care i only know 1 song. i found one of their eps in their money box so the lead singer was like "oh this is old take it" so i did. haha.

yeah.

that's all i've got to say.

i lied. it really isn't.

the band was totally chill and really nice. and yeah i know i said that. but i had to say it again. they were some of the sweetest people i've ever met, and i can't wait to see them again.

i think i'm done now. yeah i'm done now. (:

All Hollow's Eve.

Yeah man. I went there. I didn't put "Halloween" in the title. I try to be different (but I've always been the same). Secondly I only titled it that because that's what today is. October the 31st.
Anways, I feel like throwing it out there that I never got to go "trick or treating" or go to a "costume party" or any of that nonsense. Ok 1, I'm a Christian and if you look up the history of Halloween, it has some not-so-great stuff to it. 2, You want to dress up like an idiot, to take your kid around to get free candy & have nightmares for the next 3 months, and then complain about cavities be my guest. 3, I'm not dissing Halloween, I'm just saying it's not as kid-friendly as it looks.
Oh yes, my 16th birthday is in 1 week. I'm so excited. No big party for me. Just going to a little joint to see a not-so-famous band play a concert. RockyLovesEmily. Go check 'em out. Yesterday I got my first piercing too. I'm a total WIMP when it comes to pain, and it didn't even hurt. So freaking proud of myself. I'm also so embarrased because when I was sitting in that big black chair I was freaking out to the piercer. Haha. Yea.
I have to go get ready for a party now.

Seperate We Are One

I took the PSAT's. On part of the information section it asks you about your religion. I didn't know what to put.

I didn't know what to put.

1. I believe that Christianity is not a religion. It's an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. Loving your friends isn't your religion, it's a relationship between you.
2. I don't belong to a denomination. I believe in the word of God. There is no style, tradition, culture, or practiced rules that I follow other than what is in the Bible.

They provided no space that just said "Christian", they were all different denomination or sects. Why can't we just love God, why does it have to matter how we go to church? Why does it matter how we serve him? I was outraged by this.

We are all individuals, but though we are seperate, we are still one. So why does it matter?!

Since I don't belong to one set, I put "other." These rules and regulations are of this world, and not the other. I'm not of this world. I am an"other" person, an "other" type of Christian, I belong to an "other" world.
