TWLOHA

to write LOVE on her arms

a year ago, a guy named jamie wrote a story. a story of love and compassion towards someone that didn't know what love was. it's been a year since the story was written and the story and it's impact has grown to unbelievable heights. the story was of a girl named renee who was battling depression and addiction and also dealt with cutting. (to read the story go to TWLOHA.com). all it took was some shirts and LOVE. i felt for this organization the minute i read the story. they believe in LOVE and that LOVE is the movement. they're on tour and are going around with Anberlin, Bayside, Meg & Dia, and Jonzetta, and all they are doing is showing LOVE. they're not pressuring people, not pushing a product, nor denying anyone. LOVE is what they're doing. GOD is LOVE and they're are showing GOD through their LOVE. a year ago LOVE became the movement and it is the movement.

check them out, read the story, and decide if you want to join in.

the sammy carmike trio played CSU's talent show last night. we didn't win, but we won over a crowd we never thought we would. it goes to show, funny is colorblind.

at the red light

is the name of my musical outlet... not funny stuff about mexican food making you explode, but real musical outlet. we have a song called "you gotta buy your friends" that sounds kinda like the hives-ish, alternative scratchy sounding and it will be awesome to play that one live. it's all about frats and sororities and buying your friends (clever i know). our next song is called "pop goes the weasle" and it's kinda late 60's beatles. it's all about just getting tired of the same old boring life, and the chorus is a four part harmony on an "ah," so good. and our next song, "yoknapatawpha county" (anyone get the reference), was written on a dreary day. it's very folksie and has a very low, beat down feel to it. jeremiah's grandad calls it our "slave song," and for lack of a better term it's stuck. we have yet to find our "sound," but i think we recently found it... one word... hyphenated twice... are you ready? ELECTRO-ALTERNA-POP! synths and stuff... so good. i'm currently saving up money to get an m-audio midi controller, so we can play live. i'm excited, we're gonna go places!

aaron and family, sad times we didn't cross paths...

hello

this blog is coming from the comfortable bed, in my house, in Kennesaw. It's great, I'm on spring break and doing EXACTLY what I want to... nothing! I'm getting a free wireless signal from one of the neighbors, and it's great. I'm watching Scrubs and that is awesome. I downloaded a lot of new music and I'm loving listening to it, Jim Noir, Arctic Monkeys, Bright Eyes (I know, very emotional), Rogue Wave, and Silversun Pickups. Spring break rules!

good things

i've found somewhere to go on tuesday nights to get the message! it's in a couple of guys house and we just meet and worship with everything we have. i love it and i would like to extend a thanks to Dave (who willnever read this) who brought me. also, i am getting the chance to be a part in leading worship! it was my birthday a couple weeks ago and i got a bass guitar (fender jazz, royal blue... SO good). one of the guys who lives in the house i go to meet at, somehow found out i played, he asked and now i have somewhere to go on thursdays...

bad news...
still don't have a home church to go to on sunday mornings...

things are going well though...

p.s.
i have a seven page paper due monday and i am one paragraph in... refer to the title of my last blog and you'll know what i am doing...

procrastination...

i am procrastinating as i write this... anyway, i have been trying to write a paper that i do not care about for close to 3 hours now... i don't think my mind is 1. calm enough and 2. engaged enough in the topic to write. i have still not posted on the d group blog and feel like crap about it, but i haven't listened to the podcast yet. yes, i've had the time, but i didn't want to listen to it for some reason. i will probably not finish my paper tonight, it will be rushed and horribley written in the grammatical sense. i did have one the best weekend i have had in a while, this was because i spent it back home leading worship. this is something i have a passion for, much like acting, and the complete antithesis of writing papers. i want to hang on to God and what he did this weekend, but college is getting in the way, and i'm not doing the necessary(sp?) things to hold on to it. i want to hold on, but my physical body does not want to. internal struggle. i have not been doing quiet times. things are going well, physically, but my spiritual life is taking the hit. i want to do quiet times, but i does not seem important to me. this is too long, no one will read it. i am just bad at arming myself with God's armor. why does my physical body fall so quickley when my spiritual side wants to stand firm. i need will power and to be the spiritual person i am at heart. praise the Lord for this weekend. thanks to everyone involved. this is now way too long, aaron will be the only one who reads it, so aaron, help me out bro, i'm kinda freaking out because i keep falling into the same traps. i need God, but i ultimatley don't want Him. way way too long. hope you were not trying to work when you read this.

hating self. needing Him.
