So was thinking about this last night…. I like to have like…. a “theme song” of sorts for my life. So last night I decided on a new one. For a long time it was a Dashboard song… but it wasn’t quite as fitting as I think this new one is.
Just to relieve you of the overwhelming anticipation, here is the song. This post will continue beneath it, so make sure you finish reading… 🙂
“She’s so cool it’s almost eerie
she’s so fine I lost all hope
Genetical testing
something has gone wrong
she should get back in
her cage before they find she’s gone
She said she hated Kenny G
that girl is way too good for me
We’ll break up before it starts
She’ll only tear my world apart
da na na na na na na na
Pre-ex-girlfriend, that girl is just too fine Pre-ex-girlfriend, leaving me behind
You might say she’s everything
just before everything goes wrong
She’s sunshine and lightning
she pulls at my heartstrings
she’s stunning and then she’s gone
The intellect that girl has
She’s saying “ death to false jazz
Like kryptonite to Superman
she’s here to break my heart again
da na na na na na na na
Watch her on the floor tonight
feel the crush she will incite
the spark of hope she will ignite
a beautiful sight
Softer than the lightest snows
watch her as the moment slows
in my face the door will close
and there she goes.
Pre-ex-girlfriend, that girl is just too fine Pre-ex-girlfriend, leaving me behind.”
-“Pre-Ex-Girlfriend,” by Five Iron Frenzy
Yeah, so anyway, I discovered that like every girl that I have really been interested in like at all in the last… fairly long time now…. this song seems to fit the case exactly. So I guess I kind of have had more pre-ex-girlfriends then i can count. Maybe I will compile a list someday. There’s a girl that i’m kind of interested in in one of my classes though…. she’ll probably get added to the pre-ex-girlfriend list too… but hey… what can you do?
(note: In actuality I am far more depressed about this situation then it would seem from this post. But don’t worry, I’ll be ok.)
Oh yeah, and remember to have a great day.
So I got this in an e-mail yesterday…. I figure probably not everyone is on the list….. so I thought I’d share the info…. in regards to Five Iron Frenzy’s upcoming album, Cheeses of Nazereth, which will release on April 22nd….
“Most of you probably already know this, but this album is a collection
of B-sides and demos, plus some new joke songs. The reason we are
putting it out is for you, the FIF fans. If you never got a copy
of Kamikaze on the Electric Youth tour, this is the album
to get. If you have a downloaded version of Burn, and want
to hear it re-mastered, this is the album for you. What about Marty, or Rhubarb Pie? It’s all here. What about the songs that
appeared on our first 7″ record which there are only 500 copies
of? Yep, those are here too. What about songs like Mind For Treason which we wrote in 1995, played it live often, but never recorded
until now. It’s on Cheeses. Plus if you like songs like
Kitty-doggie or Shut Up or These Are Not My Pants, you will want to pick this up because it’s got tons of stuff
like that. Dog Food, Mayonnaise Taco Monday, “How’s
About Some Milk, and Stinky Hippy, just to name a few.
In total there are 33(!!!) tracks on this CD. So if you want to
hear everything from our humble beginnings to our current dementia, this is the CD for you.”
That is all.
mmmm… tropical punch kool-aid. I decided I really wanted kool-aid when i was at walmart a little bit ago. it is the best decision i ever made. it is nutritious and delicious. well, probably not too terribly nutritious, but it is darn good. I reccomend it to you all. go and buy some. i suggest tropical punch. but under no circumstances should you boil the water and pour like 5 pounds of sugar into it….. trust me on this, it will make you want to vomit. it is better the traditional way.
anyway, i have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to go to crew call. So I am going to head to sleep now.
Btw, some fun stuff happened today… was a better day then i thought it would be. Stick with me on the prayers though…. I’m still sure to need ’em.
Thanks for reading.
I am now back at school. I have my first class since break… in about an hour. So I decided I will use this time to write a little something here for ya.
These last few weeks have been interesting for lots of reasons. There have been some extreme highs, extreme lows, and even some stuff right in the middle. Anyway, it has been kind of stressful at times…. it’s been kind of depressing at times. And more then just any one situation factors into this. But in my trying to get through it all, I sort of realized something… and that is the fact that it is forcing me to rely on God. Which I know is a good thing, but well… to be perfectly honest, it is kind of a frightening thing as well (to me anyway.)
So that may sound kind of odd to you, I don’t know. What could be frightening about relying on God? Well, I’ll tell you what it is that scares me about it. If I rely on God to fix something in my life, then it is entirely up to Him what will become of that. Or say I am relying on God to bring me the most incredible girl to someday marry…. to me, that is somewhat scary, because… what if God doesn’t want me to get married? Do you see what I’m saying? For me to not have any ability or control whatsoever makes it a very scary thing. But I guess at a certain point you have no choice. And for me, that point has come.
Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you all would pray for me in this. Some of you know speciffic things you could pray for, and perhaps others of you don’t. That doesn’t matter. God knows. If you desire to know anything… just talk to me sometime… I will probably be able to tell you at least a little bit.
Later.
flying back to school tomorrow…. will probably update once i’m there 😉
Godspeed.

ok… so nick left a cd at my house last night… and i decided that i really like this song 😉 note that i couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere… so i typed them out… but there’s one part i couldn’t really figure out… so i’m just going to omit it. It’s a great some anyway though 😉
“like i said i would return
cryogenically preserved
but you’ve got cold shoulders
for me to lean on
i can’t forget you girl
i don’t remember how to spell your name
the oxygen i breathe
you are my favorite dream
you’re my poison ear
you are my nightmare
constant misery
it’s still a mystery
why i love you when
you can’t stand me
i’ve got a better place waiting for you
i’ve got a better place waiting for you out there
if we hold on
we can roll on
be together
tie your sweater
stranger things have occurred
three in the furnace four were seen unburned
you’re a quiet stream
you are my favorite dream
you’re my poison ear
you are my nightmare
constant misery
it’s still a mystery
why i love you when
you can’t stand me
I can’t forget you girl
refresh me on your name
i call you every night
you play our little game
you smile and bat your eyes
i’ll be back here again
that’s just the way it always ends
who am i talking to
i always get it wrong
this one goes out to you
an adoration song
and maybe you will fall
just like my sisters fell
and be a flower by a well
i don’t want your love no more
the oxygen i breathe
you are my favorite dream
you’re my poison ear
you are my nightmare
constant misery
it’s still a mystery
why i love you when
you can’t stand me”

So I just watched Ringu, the movie which The Ring was based off of. It was cool. There are many aspects of it which I liked better then The Ring, but some things that were better in The Ring. Most of the story aspects in Ringu I found to be better and more interesting…. except they cut out most of the stuff with the kid, and stuff didn’t always flow as smoothly (japanese films tend to be slightly jumpy for my taste anyway… so i guess that makes sense)… but yeah… the ending especially I liked better. They follow pretty similar plot-lines, but there are differences… it’s definately an intersting watch after seeing The Ring. I’d say Ringu has an actual element of scariness to it too… which was greatly lacking in The Ring, despite the hype 😉 I guess just the way it is presented in Ringu seemed a lot more real. So yeah, if you get a chance, check it out. So long as you can take reading subtitles I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
sorry i’ve gone a bit without writing… and unfortunately i still don’t have much coming to mind to write about. then, i generally don’t feel like writing as much when i am up here as when i am at school. it has been pretty good though. i needed a break from school, and this has so far been a nice one. although at this precise moment i am pretty bored… but i should find something to do soon enough.
so anyway, i just wanted to say that stuff here is going pretty good… and update this in some way 😉
hope you are all doing well. later.
So to anyone who i talked you monday night or yesterday… everything is very much better now.
Also, for anyone who doesn’t know, Derek Webb is no longer in Caedmon’s Call, hence his extremely small role on their most recent album (they were all aware of the fact that he would be leaving soon after it). However, he has a solo project coming out on March 25th, which I just pre-ordered earlier today. Anyway, I have an mp3 of one of the songs… and I like it… so here are the lyrics.. oh yeah, and you can hear 30 second clips of all the songs, or download the mp3 that I have, by going here. Note that these lyrics aren’t official or anything… there’s one line I’m not real sure on, but everything else sounds right.
Oh yeah, and if you are in MD you may see me as early as tomorrow night. I’m still hoping it will become like 70 degrees there within the next day or so…. adjusting from my present 80 to your present 25 will not be fun ;). Oh well.
“if you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding get your life
should that be all i’ll ever need
or is there more i’m looking for?
and should i read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
to make me handsome, rich, and wise
is that really what you want?
cuz i am a whore i do confess
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and run down the aisle
run down the aisle
i’m a prodigal with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle
run down the aisle
to you.
so could you love this bastard child
though i don’t trust you to provide
with one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side
cuz i am so easily satisfied
and the call of a lover so less wild
that i would take a little cash
over your very flesh and blood
cuz i am a whore i do confess
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and run down the aisle
run down the aisle
i’m a prodigal with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle
run down the aisle
to you.
cuz money cannot buy
a husband’s jealous eye
when you have knowingly decieved his wife
so i am a whore i do confess
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and run down the aisle
run down the aisle
i’m a prodigal with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle
run down the aisle
to you.”

so i was just in the bathroom and i looked in the mirror and noted something that i have noted before. it has to do with your eyes. eyes can portray so many different emotions and feelings…. and eyes don’t lie. the craziest thing about eyes, i think… is that when someone is really happy, you can see kind of a light in their eyes… and it can be kind of intense. Then when the same person is feeling really crappy…. that light is gone. and it’s really a profound difference. i don’t know, it’s just an observation. i hope the lights are burning in your eyes…
maybe i’ll try and sleep now.
