| | Theme from "Sex and the City" | ] |
I now realize that my previous post makes me feel a bit like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Altough I havn't asked enough questions quite yet? In this crazy mixed up world, are we becoming more like men or mice?...or are the mice taking over?
There. That's more like it. |

There are times in life when you hear conversations between your fellow human beings that bring thoughts such as "WTF!?!?" and "What is the world coming to?" This was one of those times.
Setting: Breakroom at work (Everett QFC)
Ronney: "So...what movie should we go see after work? Accepted or Beerfest?"
Sara: "I don't know they both look so good!" *this was not a sarcastic remark*
Ronney: "Stephanie said that there are tits in Beerfest..."
Sara: "Alright, we'll go see that then."
I took this time to exclude myself from the awkwardness of perhaps receiving an invitation. However, it was out of the frying pan and into the fire for me when Ronney later asked if I'd like to attend this fiasco of juvenile debauchery, of course, he did ask this in fewer words than I've described.
Anyways...this is my story...this is my generation...and this is a sure sign of a drop in the quality of my social circle as of late. |

So...I don't know if I have a small case of insomnia right now...or if I just don't want to sleep. I'm pretty sure that it's the second of those two. I could be related to the fact that I only spent 4 hours of actually doing anything today and that was because I was at work...thus...there's been nothing to take any energy whatsoever. I dunno...maybe I'll go running right now...except I don't know how I feel about running in Everett at midnight.
If I was witty I'd write a screenplay about this.
If I was athletic this would probably push me toward some amazing goal.
If I had no sense I'd find a friend in the bottom of a bottle (but alas I do have sense)
If I had a fast car I'd go fast enough to outrun this.
If I had more creativity I'd make this a song...but the words/chords/melody/harmony escapes me.
If I was stronger I'd shove it away.
If I was a genius I'd discover the secret to teleportation.
If I had a genie I'd wish myself away.
If I had money I'd buy a plane ticket.
If I had even more money I'd buy the plane.
If I had a sense of adventure I'd discover the borders of the worlds second bermuda triangle.
If I had even one of the traits above...this post might not exist.
If I could give up anything/everything I have for one thing...I wouldn't be here.
This most certainly is an exaggerated post...but like I said above...I don't want to sleep...and I can't run in an attempt to exaust myself. |

I'm already so excited to go down to Oregon, and then go again. It's not exactly when I'd like it to be...but hey...I'll take it. And it will be a good time. I'm also really excited for Reidar's cd to come out. The new mixes on myspace sound great...(oh yeah...click and I are on it...haha...if you can really call that being on it...we're clapping and yelling on it)...anyways...i don't really have anymore to say..except i don't have to goto school as early tomorrow...yay. |

yeah...so I'm leaving for california tomorrow...that'll be...cool...i guess. I dunno...I'm going to be gone for any recording that might happen over the next two weeks...but I don't mind too much...the rest of the band can get alot done and then I'll come back and lay down my tracks. I'm really excited cuz' i found out what song it was the ben folds and rufus wainwright played together at the show. It's a Wham! cover called careless whispers. I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches on figuring out how to play it. I've been learning some new Ben folds lately and that's been kindof fun...most of it by ear...it's boring trying to search for transcriptions...probably not as boring as reading about this is though...so i'll stop. So...I'll have access to a computer for some of the time in california...so...yeah...not that has much to do with much...I'll go now.

Coldplay- Till Kingdom Come = my favorite and most relevant song.
Still my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come
I put your head inside my hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you, I've waited all these years
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I heard you laugh, I heard you sing
And I wouldn't change a single thing
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become
For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me |

Hello all, it's ben quite some time...and i don't really know why i'm posting at all cause the only reason i have an LJ is to read other people's and all that fun stuff.
Practice was great today. It'd been a long time since we'd played and we went over a new song and rewrote another (Everyone should come to the show on the 6th so you can hear the new stuff...and old..cuz' it's good too).
Everyone should also download/buy/pirate a cd by the band Aqualung...it's freakin' amazing.
Taking down took WAY...too long today. It didn't badly...it just was annoying cuz' I barely got to Sarah's before she left for work...it was good to see her...but it was sad that it wasn't longer.
So yeah..now i'm really bored...and i want to write music but nothing comes (as it's been forever and ever amen)..which makes it great to have a friend such as click. Cuz' he's an amazing writer and that gives me the super fun task of building onto the foundation of the song that he brings...and him and I need to get together soon for a writing session and get more new material.
Another cool thing about practice was the jesse came today and played with us. Sounds like hi might start playing with us more often. Yet another reason to come see us on May 6th...jesse might be playing with us...and that sounds brilliant.
So yeah...this is why i don't ever post...cuz' this does nothing for me...i know alot of people try and "vent" through LJ but it doesn't work for me...i just want to be somewhere else with someone else...or here with someone else...i just want some in particular to be here right now. But oh well...no...not oh well...it's driving me up the wall..so i'm going to shut up now because most people have probably stopped reading by now. |

yeah...so...i haven't posted in forever...but i feel like it right now. Yeah so...today's kindof annoying...i think that i'm just really low on sleep. All day long...things that i would normally laugh along with have been getting to me and that's kindof annoying beyond all reason...more the fact that they annoy me this much and shouldn't. And i know that we're going to be trying to go agaisn't most odds but what the heck... I know that it's likely and almost inevitable that she gets swept off her feet but that doesn't mean i can't hear about it as little as possible...agh...anyways...yeah...we're having really good chicken burritos that my grandma sent home with me and i'm really really hungry right now...so i'm going to go eat that and then fudge...(ps. i believe that this is my first whiney typical LJ post ever...and i don't plan on doing anymore of that sort because they annoy the piss out of me...anyways...thanx for your time all who read this...and this is actaully really awkward to right some of this because i know that a certain person will be reading this who is to say the least involved in all of this.)

Hey everyone...Yeah.,..it's been a while since i've posted..
Anyone who reads this...I could really use some prayer right now...so yeah..any would be appreciated. I'm not going to go into why..except that i've made some mistakes lately...and they are very similar to mistakes i've made in the past...that I have regreted for over half a year now...and somehow I managed to screw myself over with them again. I've put in jepardy...one of the greatest things that's ever happened to me...one of the things that drives me to do better in music/chivelry/and life...and i have a feeling and a hope that it will be ok...but It'll take work...and i need prayer. Not cuz' i'm scared of giving up...but i'm scared of making it worse...and just..I'm not even entirely sure what..
So if you read this...please pray for me... |

So yeah...Um..yeah
Just got back from worshipt night and that was sooo freakin' tizzite. Hope did a great job. Matt and Andy got a bunch of money from the offering for them going to Africa and that was awesome cuz' God allowed it so that over a thousand dollars came from almost all youth. And um..Scott did an awesome painting. So yeah...that was all really rad...and then driving back was fun too cuz' i just got my permit on tuesday.
Death Cab for Cutie was soooooooooo Good. but if you want to see any specifics on it...check out haley's post about it cuz' it wrapps it up great.
And not too much else to talk about so...bye |
