So…  the new year has begun.  So far it is very much like 2002… only there’s one less 2 and umm… one more 3.  So I guess that’s kind of different.  Maybe.  I’m dumb.  Anyway….

Cornerstone has begun listing bands, so I thought I would give my list of bands it is important to see so far.  So here you go… my list (out of  a total 154 bands announced so far):

Umm…  there are some others in there that I am interested in, but did not list because I have never actually heard them before… and others I will probably see, but will not neccesarily make it a point to see.  but yeah.  Pretty good list… that’s almost a third of the bands on the list so far ;).

The party last night was fun.  One of the first things that happened in the new year was almost getting a chunk of hair ripped out of my head by an air pump thing.  Stupid stephanie had it pointed the wrong way, and I suffered for it 😉  haha…  yeah, there was a massive knot in it…  luckily, she got it out.  I would not have been happy if I had to cut it.  My hair is not to be cut until at least the time of cornerstone.  And the rest of the night was spent blowing things up with fireworks… and dave ovenshire defying death by bottlerockets….  haha…  I was surprised the boy made it through the night without at least suffering some severe burns.

Anyway, I am so messed up right now sleepwise.  It is 2:40 a.m.  I feel like it should be like maybe 4 or 5 P.M..  Except it is pitch black outside.  I didn’t sleep at all new years eve.  I got back here and went to sleep around 11 a.m..  I woke up at 8 p.m…. so I have only been up 6 hours and it is this late… it’s crazy.  Feels odd.  I am going to try going to sleep in about an hour though… need to fix myself up before I have to go back to school.

The new FSF album is really good.   Every time I listen to it, I like it more and more.  It’s sort of like their first album, in that is has to grow on me.  With the exception of a few songs, which I loved the first time…. such as track 7 (no idea what the title is), which continues to be my favorite song on the cd.

Anyway, have a wonderful day, and I hope you have all had a great start in the new year.

Godspeed.

“If I only had an ocean to compliment the sky

I’d pull it down

and paint it for you

and I’d never question why

cause “red would mean you loved me”

and “blue would mean you cared”

but black my heart when left alone

to cold and killing stares.

This is the burning of a dream.

The sound now turns to silence

but ill keep spinning around

naked in the rain of my own tears

as they fall into the

bucket of your apologies

while closing everyone else’s eyes

because your own are shut

not to see the volume rise again.

Feels like I’m waiting in the last hiding place on earth

hangman’s noose tight round my neck

but I’m saved and

for 100,000 memories

been washed ashore

be swept again by forever

and sailed away from you.

The sound now turns to silence

but ill keep spinning around

naked in the rain of my own tears

as they fall into the

bucket of your apologies

while closing everyone else’s eyes

because your own are shut

not to see the volume rise again.

Only you could row my boat ashore

If only you could set my fears at rest

but until lack of sympathies regress

I’m still waiting, I’m still waiting

for your call.

The sound now turns to silence

but I’ll keep spinning around

naked in the rain of my own tears

as they fall into the

bucket of your apologies

while closing everyone else’s eyes

because your own are shut

not to see the volume rise again.”
