I thought about a burning fire. I thought about a loving fire.
BURN YOUR GODS TO THE GROUND
Your eyes bring me to me knees
YOUR EYES! YOUR EYES!
Asking more of me
I give my heart
Your lips drip with honey
I can't resist a taste
Your path leads to the grave
And I follow you
Your path leads to my death
And I follow you
Your path leads to the grave
And I follow you to my death
I'll follow you down
If you give what I desire
What makes a man a man?
Like a sheep lead to the slaughter
What makes a man a man?
Butchered without a word
What makes a man a man?
Father what have I done?
What makes a man a man?
I AM NOT A MAN
This is the last time I swear
DON'T BELIEVE MY LIES!
LORD, TAKE THIS LUST FROM ME!!!
Take this list from me!
Burn your gods to the ground
Take this lust from me!

You can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, and again when your head goes through the windshield
Only one question remains... Why did I bother to spell that all out if no one will see it?
Why even ask the above question?
Introspection is my speciality.

Chruch Is Hardcore
I'm not sure what it is about church that does it, but I always find myself thinking about hardcore. I find inspiration in the hymns and songs we sing, as well as in the sermons and written word of God. Inversely, I can't go to a hardcore show without being profoundly impacted by the beauty and glory of our Creater.
One truth that I know, that gives me hope and assurence, is that God has designed me in such a way that hardcore is the means by which he speaks to my soul. He has given me the talents and abilities to use hardcore to glorify him, and to proclaim his grace and beauty to the world.
Soli Deo Gloria

Dreamland
1. I can't stand overly open/flirtatious girls.
2. Banana's, although they work well as the focal point of a cathartic experience, are not aerodynamic, nor were they meant to be thrown a great distance.

The Ocean Walker
Something I've been thinking about lately is about how I am usually written off as "that weird kid" or "that hardcore kid." I feel like there's so much more that people don't take the time to learn about me. Beneath my awkward exterior and my choice to be a straight edge hardcore kid I am a genuine and unique individual. I guess I'm frustrated by the lack of people in my life who invest in a relationship with me. I had one friendship in high school where we really dug deep into each other. The encouragement, support and understanding that went both ways in that relationship is something I long for. I miss having a relationship like that.
I am the Ocean Walker.

I Don't Get It
I don't understand you sometimes. I don't love you sometimes. I don't listen to you a lot of times. I think I'm better than you most times. I don't trust you sometimes. I am not my own. I don't know who I would be without you. You never change. I do. Forgive me, Father.

Not Funny. BLOOD!
So this is is not funny... I've been passing
blood in my urine since November. No answers! Nothing! And now we're starting the whole run around on circles, and look for problems that we're already ruled out deal. I am ticked. Two nights ago I passed RED urine. This morning, as soon as I woke up, more red urine. I AM TICKED!

"I Will Stand And Fight. For Once I Will Be A Man."
I had a conversation with Kate not too long ago and that, along with some of my classes and a discipleship group I'm in, have really been concivting to me. The basic idea is that I need to remove distractions from my life that are keeping my focus on anything but God. Specifically in my relationship with Kate I need to be praying for her and us, as well as WITH her. Focusing our relationship on God and glorifying him through it are two things that are essential for our relationship to be lasting and meaningful. My desire is to
Completely surrender Kate and our relationship to God. Prayer for this is something I would appreciate greatly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The Changing Of Times
It's been a while since I last updated. It has been a very busy few weeks for me. School, catching up with friends, etc. As far as what's new in my life there are two major things going on.
First, I've got myself a lady friend. Her name is Kate, but I call her Suzanne. Second, I'm in the process of starting a new band with Glenn (from Hand Drawn Mountains) and Adam, who lives across the hall from me. We are still looking for a few other guys, so nothing much has happened yet. But when it does happen it will be EPIC! that's a promise.
That's all for this installment folks.
