So apparently Anberlin is releasing a new track from their new cd
“Never Take A Friendship Personal” every monday, until February 1st,
when the cd comes out.  They are, of course, being released on
Pure Volume. 

Anyway, I really like it so far, have heard about half of the album
now, between Pure Volume and the 4 track promo cd I found on SoulSeek. 
And yes, I posted about this before, this should tell you just how
important it is that you go and listen to them.  And also buy the
cd when it comes out.

Anyway, my favorite tracks are A Day Late (or Day Late Friend,
depending on if you believe PureVolume or the promo cd) and Paperthin
Hymn.  I think in that order.

But at any rate…. some lyrics…

“When your only friends are hotel rooms

Hands are distant lullabies

If I could turn around

I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long

Since your paper hearts stopped beating

Leaving me suddenly alone

Will day break ever come?

Who’s gonna call on sunday morning?

Who’s gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever

Over and Over

A sleepless night becomes

Bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and Over

Complaints of violins

Become my only friends

August evenings

Bring solemn warnings

To remember to kiss the ones you love goodbye

You never know what temporal days may bring

So, Laugh and Love

Live free and sing

When life is in discord

Praise ye the Lord

Who’s gonna call on sunday morning?

Who’s gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever

Over and Over

A sleepless night becomes

Bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and Over

Complaints of violins

Become my only friends

Friend…

Whoa…

I thought you said forever

Over and Over

A sleepless night becomes

Bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and Over

Complaints of violins

Become my only friends

I thought you said forever

Over and Over

These thoughts run through my head”

-“Paperthin Hymn,” by Anberlin

ummm… i dont feel like making this protected, so… if you are easily offended close your eyes, or cease reading.

I just think this is the best opening voiceover ever written.

“Motherfucking cocksucker, motherfucking shit fucker, what am I
doing?  I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m doing the best that I
can.  I know that’s all I can ask of myself.  Is that good
enough?  Is my work doing any good?  Is anybody paying
attention?  It is hopeless to try to change things?  The
African guy is a sign, right?  Because if he isn’t, then nothing
in this world makes any sense to me, I’m fucked.  Maybe I should
just quit, don’t quit.  Maybe I should just fucking quit, don’t
fucking quit.  I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to fucking
do anymore.  Fucker, fuck, shit!”

For more greatness, go watch I Heart Huckabees.

so breaks go by pretty fast.  this is my last week here, and it
doesn’t feel like i’ve been here very long.  i guess i’m pretty
much ready to go back to southeastern though.  it feels like a
very long time since i’ve been there… but… i guess it HAS been kind
of a long time.  at any rate, it will be good to see people down
there.  and lakeland has a few nice qualities about it that you
don’t appreciate unless you aren’t there 😉  but i don’t look
forward to everything closing at 8 o clock ;).

saturday is the day of driving, i am contemplating when i want to leave
and so forth.  i might want to leave really early so when I get
down there it won’t be too late and I can hang out with some
people.  If I do that I will probably end up making the whole trip
by myself, rather then driving with jason brown until Georgia. 
might be worth it though.  i will have to see what time he wants
to leave.

it would be cooler if i was going back to LA.  but… i guess that time will come soon enough.  Hopefully in the fall.

So it’s 2005 now I guess.

Wow.
