Destn

Well, i worked 5pm - 1am yesturday, at 12am-10pm today. 18 hours of work in two days. Then i come home to find red wine all over my college application.

On the other hand i'm super happy! So heres to the night, i'm bushed.

I heard the anti-christ last night on the radio, his name is oscar. He said that the world was going to end in 2007, and how the radio guy should come over to the dark side. He simple replied, good will conquer over evil. I thought that was very deep for a conversation with mini-satan at 2 in the morning.

so remember kids!,

Nothing is perfect, everything has a crack, thats how the light shines in.

Would you believe they put a man on the moon?


Sure they put a man on the moon, but isn't it more fun to say they didn't?

My point: Sometimes not having a point is alot more fun, and everybody likes to smile.

Oh well, as Black Francis of the Pixies once sarcasticly screamed into a microphone

ITS EDUCATIONAL!!!!

COINTELPRO



The burning monk on the cover of Rage Against The Machine is Thich Quang Duc, an elderly Buddhist monk, immolating himself on a main intersection in Saigon, Vietnam on June 11, 1963 to protest the rule of Ngo Dinh Diem, the American backed leader of Vietnam who was leading an anti-Buddhist campaign in southern Vietnam. This action was witnessed and filmed by many members of the American media and led to the end of the Diem rule in Vietnam. This photo won the 1963 Pulitzer Prize.


How far would you go for your faith?

The echo that is love



My life has been extra-ordinary, blessed and cursed and won
-billy corgan



I went crazy today i wrote and recorded not 1 but 2 bad songs today!!!
it was a very productive day.
you can listen to them if you want, but take note the lyrics where written purely out of the frustration that comes with trying to write a song that makes sense.


I woke up to The Barenaked Ladies "Enid" (little known fact about me: i don't get out of bed unless the radio gives me an inspiring song to get up to)

I like that song only because of the one line "i could do it all for you, but i don't want to"

Of course, i like anything that acknowledges the fact that some things really aren't that important, and definitly aren't worth putting any brain waves into. Who knows, maybe God can take care of all your problems, and maybe thats why he says not to worry. Make sense.

And i hope to God i



In all my years i've realised one thing. Our lady peace's album clumsy is a great ode to hope.

Granted i'm sure nobody has ever claimed that before, but never the less...

In all the pain and moaning heard throught the album (i still think automatic flowers is a really creepy song) theres that sweet breath of life in the chorus of clumsy where he offers solutions. (everybody has questions, few have answers)

and maybe you should sleep
and maybe you just need a friend
as clumsy as you've been theres no one laughing
you will be safe in here

you will be safe in here

If you have a crapload of problems have faith.
Maybe Jesus is your friend.
And maybe as clumsy as you've been he's not laughing.
Maybe you'll be safe with him (psalm 23:4)

I guess all i'm trying to say is when things go hay wire, know that Gods still with you (kinda like sunny days we ignore because were dumb and jaded)

So thats whats been on my mind today.

That and is the "9 items or less" line at the supermarkets applicable to people named les?

Laxatives and Sleeping Pills


IMGP0396

So i've spent the last few hours watch Ladder 49 with this guy. Wow he looks evil. And i've been pondering very important things.

Like, What came first? the chicken, the egg, or the phrase "who cares?"

Also, what would actually happen if you took a laxative and a sleeping pill?

what does alpha-getti soup look like in china?

After thinking alot about questions such as these i came out with a few solutions to lifes everyday problems.

To be is to do
-Plato
To do is to be
-Aristotle
Do-Be Do-Be Do
-Frank Sinatra

Oh well, here comes faith to carry me along

Just - Radiohead

Something occured to me today while i was sitting on my porch as the cold breeze blew over me at 11 o'clock tonight. That is, The Holy Spirit is everywhere.

Thats alot of places to be. Thats in my keyboard. Thats in my Sprite. Thats in my Soda Crackers and my Guitar, phone, dresser, lego, speakers, baseball bat, board games, in my collection of old mcdonalds toys and outdated magasines.

And yet i still have so little faith that i still doubt that God is actually doing anything, even though he's all around me screaming. I guess i do it to myself.


A poem about SIN

Can't get the stink off
its been hanging round for days
comes like a comet
suckered you but not your friends

one day i'll get to you
and teach you how to be a holy cow

you do it to yourself, you do and thats why it really hurts
you do it to yourself, you and no one else

Don't get my sympathy
hanging out the fifteenth floor
change the locks three times
still it slips in through the door

one day i'll get to you
teach you how to get to purest hell

you do it to yourself, you do it to yourself
and thats why it really hurts

you do it to yourself.
you do it to yourself.
you do it to yourself.


Of course, the first step to everything is admitance.

My Friends Are So Depressed


Sep28_22

Sometimes I think I have the most awesomest friends in the world. Then they send me photos like this and I know it for a fact.

With the help of my Super cool pal Fred I can now put my songs on this blog, they are cleverly located under "My Songs"

Where would I be without you Fred.
I guess here. without you. baby.

Tonight at Bible Study we talked about "Something silly we've done without thinking"

Heres mine.

I remember it hurting.

Alot.

Mayonnaise

I believe in a strong introduction.

Hello.

Glad we got that out of the way.

Well, i spent 6 hours at a meeting in a small incredibly hot room today where the next youngest participant was 10 years older then me and whose head looks like a boiling ball that has a slight molding problem.

Needless to say i'm a bit frantic, so load me up.

I've often asked myself a question in which i already know the answer when it comes to worshiping God (as i am a guitar player, and a rather vibrant one at that)

Is it what you play or how you play it?

Obviously any church going member would say what you play, it doesn't matter how you play Marilyn Manson (not to pick on him) but nobody is going to define that as worshiping God no matter how you play it.

I guess my main beef is that i have not seen dancing in a sunday morning service, or any sort of open physical expression of ones love for God (aside from what can be done from a chair), in..... well ever, and i think thats kinda sad. Maybe nobody likes to worship God with Body Movements, i don't know.

I guess all i'm saying is God doesn't care about how you worship him, as long as you do.
