i saw a girl in boston with a crucial chest peice and it made me want to get tatts real bad,

posi-numbers beantown and end of tour...

this weekend im going to be going to two of the three days of posi numbers...im kind of bummed because i want to go to the third day as well, but i have to go to denver on sunday morning so i got to come back on sat after the show... its gonna be tight because think i care, modern life is war and down to nothing are going to b playing on friday which will be tight, and mental is playing on sat, which will be fun, but it sucks because blacklisted and coldworld are playin on sunday and i really want to see both of those bands. but what you gonna do? at least ill be able to see the bands that i will. i feel like spendin mad loot on merch too. there is the new DTN, lightout and the new mental jams that i want to pick up....

My tour with pnuema is over. we played are last church on sunday at danielle our leaders church it was awesome. we got to go to thte beach in maine and this place called the portland headlight which is this tight light house right on the atlantic and there were all these rocks that i went climbing on and such it was so tight. we also went up to this hill and watched the sun set and sang hymns....it was probably the one of the best times in the summer. this summer has been real great for me. i have grown very much in love with Gods word, and i have had alot of great conversations with pastors and friends and syblings(i dont know how to spell that) and i just have been blown away by the things that i learned this summer.

after the tour with pneuma ended in maine they dropped me off at My brother Joels house for a couple days, its been great. i got to hang out with my 2 year old nephew marx. i went to read him a book tonight and i broke his brand new bed. i should have known that a bed built for a two year old was well.....not built for a 21 years old. well...lesson learned. me and joel went into beantown today....which i guess is a nick name for boston but im not sure why i just heard people call it that. we went into china town and got bubble tea and then we went and ate at a pho' soup place down there...it was incredible. then we found newbury comics and i got 3 cd's for 24 dollars....

Viva Voce - Lovers Lead the Way 5.99
God Speed You Black Emperor 7.99
Guster - Keep It Together 9.99

im pretty happy with them, well actually i only listened to the guster album....i am also reading a clockwork orange it is getting really tight , and i think i will finish it pretty soon, which will mean 4 out of the five book goal, and then im also trying to finish the New Testament by the end of the summer, i am in 1 cornithians now, so i need to step it up......

im spent....

p.s. I saw one of the guitar players from suicide file walk into newbury comics.....it was tight, he has an ill sleave.

passions?//

i was talking to one of the professors here at school tonight. he is starting a church plant here around the school. i talked to him about 30 mins. and one of the questions he asked me during the conversations is "what are your passions?"i dont feel like anyone has ever asked me that...
i told him hardcore....than i thought what are my passions//?

hardcore...
laughter...
tattoos...
the bible...
christ...
chipotle...
family...
reading...

these are the things that i spend my time on...i stress about these things....think about these things...long to be involved with these things...this is what makes me tick, and couldnt love it more. i dont ever want to loose my love for life, God, and family. iwant to enjoy my life and what i do with it all the time. i realy belive that the series of events that guided me towardsthe things that i love and the things that are my passions happened for a reason. and it would be a low downy dirty rotten shame to squash any dreams that i might have to pursue any of these passions with everything in me. a shame...

ive been out on the road....its been a while

well im back for a bit we been out for like a month...we did one week of southern missouri camp and three weeks of penn-del camp. its been interesting. i have been getting really in to the word of God...ive been reading alot. Ive read through the book of John and Acts so far this summer and i am going through the book of romans now. God is really showing me alot...its the first time that i am really finding out what i believe as a follower of christ and as a person in general. ive also picked up a couple of cds along the way. i got...
radiohead- amnesiac
donnybrook- lions in this game
modernlifeiswar- witness
boody sunday- sentence the dead

they are all pretty tight i really like the new modernlife its mad different from their old stuff but i like the direction that they are going. i was hesitant at frist but now its growing on me pretty good.

any way i just wanted to let whoever is tuned in that im alive and lovin it. keep it real, keep it simple keep it real simple.

p.s. i read "one flew over the cukoos nest"....incredible, while i was reading it i was wondering when it would end but after finishing it i look back and miss reading it....i am now almost finished with "the lion the witch and the wardrobe" after that i will have three of my five book goal knocked out.
