Wow, what a hit! Well, whoever thought up the idea for answering questions using band lyrics thing is sitting pretty. It's been picked up by other friends and it may just keep going! That'd be cool! Well, I probably wouldn't even know if it kept going or not since I wouldn't know where to look for it beyond my friends' sites but what ever... It would still be cool. I may even try it again with another band... proabably STP. Well that's all for now. Until then---

I thought that this was ingenious! I got this from Christina's live jounal which she in turn got from somebody else but it's a great idea. I think that anyone that listens to a particular group with a lot of regularity should have some sort of relation with the words of the songs that they listen to. It's that simple; we listen to what we can relate to at any given time. Well here's my answers to the same questions...
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WITH LYRICS FROM ONLY ONE BAND: (Switchfoot)


1. Are you male or female?: "Evidence convicts the hollow men/ After looking inside/ To my dismay I find I'm one of them/ Coz I'm an already but not yet resurrected fallen man/ Come break this limbo" (I Turn Everything Over)


"When I'm a broken-hearted man/ Complacent and tired" (You Already Take Me There)


2. Describe yourself: "Nothing but a chemical in my head/ Nothing but laziness/ Coz I don't wanna read the book,/ I'll watch the movie/ Coz it's not me,/ I'm just like anybody else my age." (Chem6A)


"Hey, I give it all away/ Nothing I was holdong back remains/ Hey, I give it all away/ Looking for the grace of God today" (Something More (Augustine's Confession))


"There's a song that inside of my soul/ It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again" (Only Hope)


"Monday found me on my knees again/ Breathing You in/ To blur the lines that mark where I begin/ And You end/ There's no use in trying to pretend/ Come take me again/ Coz rumor has it I'm not who I've been/ Come define me/ What can we do/ If the rumors are true?/ I turn everything over/ I turn myself in/ There's nothing left of me to defend" (I Turn Everything Over)


"Coz I've been thinking, thinking/ I've got a plan to lose it all/ I've got a contract pending on eternity/ If I haven't already given it away/ I've got a plan to lose it all" (The Loser)


3. How do people feel about you?: "He's tired of the holes that are keeping him incomplete" (Incomplete)


"I've got the company car/ I'm the one swinging at two below par." (Company Car)


"I've been the burnout kid/ I've been the idiot/ I'll turn the other cheek to be hit you can/ Take what you want from me/ Empty me till I'm depleted/ I'll be around if I'm ever needed" (The Loser)


4. How do you feel about yourself?: "There's always something in the way/ There's always something getting through/ It's not me/ It's You/ Sometimes ignorance rings true/ But hope is not in what I know/ But it's not me/ It's You/ It's all I know/ I find peace when I'm confuzed/ I find hope when I'm let down/ It's not in me/ In You/ I hope to lose myself for good/ I hope to find it in the end/ Not in me/ In You/ It's all I know" (You)


"Wish I had what I needed/ To be on my own/ Coz I feel so defeated/ And I'm feeling alone/ And it all seems so helpless/ And I have no plans/ I'm a plane in the sunset/ With nowhere to land" (Let That Be Enough)


5. Describe your boyfriend/girlfriend/crush: "Everything I know/ Tells me she's everything that I could hope for/ Everything I know /Tells me I can't let her walk away" (Might have Ben Hur)


6. What would you rather be doing?: "I'd like to say hello/ I'd like to I care/ I'd like to let you know/ Nothing here's the same with me/ Nothing here's the same" (Don't Be There)


7. Describe where you live: "Nothing here's the same It's all a dream/ The life on the movie screen/ And I'm standing on the edge of my seat" (Edge of My Seat)


"Everyday it's the same thing/ Another trend has begun/ Hey kids, this might be the one" (New Way to Be Human)


"You can close your ears and your eyes but/ Pop will never leave you alone" (Poparazzi)

9. Share a few words of wisdom: "Doubt you doubts, Believe your beliefs" (Ode to Chin)


I know that this is a lot more extensive than the other persons but I thought that I needed to put all of the lyrics that I did...They fit me like a glove. The next artist I'll do will be Breakfast Epiphanies! Not really...most (almost all) of those songs are already about me. Oh well maybe another day, yet another band. Probably when I'm bored like I am today. I thought I was working this week!! So I made no plans or intetions or anything!! Geez...such a hard life, eh? Right. Until then---

It is finished... At least the core of it is. Of course, I forget to tell you what "it" is. But that's ok I guess. I mean it's not like too many people read this anyway. I'm sure that they won't mind if they don't know what "it" is. You know, it's probably not all that important anyway. Or maybe it is...
Moving on... At the moment, I really have nothing to say. Maybe as the day wears on, I'll become part of that elite club of "interesting" that I am so far from being in I want to cry. Well not really...



about... the crying thing...



as in I'm not really going to cry...



not that I'm not really far from being in the elite club of "intersesting"...



coz that I am really...



far from, that is...



I'm going to cry! Until then---

Oh what?!... I got an interview at Lowes! I actually might get a job after all. I hope that it's simple coz I really don't know too much about all that hardware. Maybe I should have paid more attention to what my father was buying and what it was used for, etc. when we went out to buy stuff for our house. Oh well...I'll learn as I go along. I shouldn't have much of a problem considering that I am applying simply for cashier meaning I'll really just be doing a lot of customer service. I can handle that. At the interview, they kept asking about my past work environment. Through all of those questions, I realized how much I really enjoyed being a Martian. I miss working there...the discounts were great! Really though, the atmosphere was chill, like a musicians store should be. Hmmm....
I'm still thinking that playing on random sidwalks (obviously busy, random sidwalks) to earn money for stuff that Breakfast Epiphanies need would be a good idea. If not now, I could wait a few more weeks and we could all go out and play together...or some of us...what ever. I think that Grant should definitely get an acoustic bass so that we could all play. I imagine that sound...: geez, it's wonderfull. We'd be making money together doing something that we love. That's life right there!!! I mean there's probably a bit more to it than that, but overall that's a simple goal. Maybe not simple, but definitely a good one! I think that if it is on your heart (Personal belief: it's put there by the Holy Spirit) to do something that you may not even think that you're very good at, in my case it would be writing poetry/songs and putting music to them by playing guitar (I think I can write and play somewhat...but that's relative), you should go for it (Personal belief: if you let God take care of the details). Assuming this happened with everone, earth would be a rockin' place to live in. Not everone would be trying to be a CEO, or DR. Dude, or that DIRTY POP singer (*shudder*...pop...). They instead would be heading for things that they truly want to do and accomplish... (Personal belief: and you will be provided with all that you need, i.e. money, if you stay in Christ's teaching and listen to what the Lord says.)
Well I think that I'm going to jump down off of the soap dish now. I didn't mean to type your eyes off here, I was just going to mention "LIVE FROM NEW YORK, ITS SATURDAY NIGHT!!" Kidding... kidding. Dumb, I know... I know. Dorky... that's me! Anyway, the Breakfast Epiphanies site has a movie intro and that's about all I really wanted to say today. OH! and check it out! down below there's this thing asking, "need to comment?" yeah well if you click that then you can! Umm... yeah. Until then---

A morning ponder... Ok, so when I woke up and went to go use the "thinking chair", I was thinking about something that I heard, I can't remember where (not important enough I guess), but it is quite interesting. Just so everyone knows, I'm strongly against this statement, but it is quite a thinker... kind of a fun one for the day! Anyway: "Is sex premarital sex if you're not planning on getting married?" The way I see it, Yeah, but I wonder how many people believe that... That idea can transcend so many planes it's scary. Oh well...just a thought. Until then---

Black again... (I really meant to put black, but it has nothing to do with my skin color or anything... It's the name of an STP song!! Really!! Forget it...) The DSL has been down for a while and this is the first time that I've taken the time out from my busy day to appease my self with... myself. Anyway, job searching sucks! I don't think that its' ever been this hard for me to find a job... EVER!! I really do think that I need to stick with my guns and just go full core into the rock business. Yeah... good ol' rock. The way that they can be smoothed out by water, chiseled by sandy air, or created by liquid magma... just brings me to tears: *weep, cry, weep*. No, but really... for some time now I've been on this GOD-given mission to have a band that will make it. Hence the drive that I have and the money that I oh-so-over-faithfully spend on equippment that I need. But there's the dilemma: Where am I getting this money from? I'm so near to broke I don't know what to do. I can't just go out and play a show without a band... Or maybe I can... Well, ladies and gentlemen, I may have come across something that I can make an attempt at making money. I might try it... soon! I need dough and it seems a feasable attempt. I just need a corner to play at where there is a good amount of people willing to support their local (kind of) band. Well, I'm off to think of a good place. If any of you can think of any good places tell me please! Until then---

Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh!!!! I've decided (and so have my finances) that I've really got to go out and get a job. I've never actually had to really look for one though!! I mean I've been really lucky when it comes to finding jobs, they usually fall into my lap. Since Mars Music (actually Marc Begalman, also former president of Office Depot, basically a rich-!$# mofo that just wants to make more money) decided to close the west coast stores in February, I've continued a jobless life. I think that that was my last easy application. WHY?!!!? Oh, WHY?!!!? I hate this!! It's one of those times that I need to grow that money tree that I've talked about since I was little...
So the difficult thing is (as I'm sure you all know) finding a job now that the rush of high schoolers is over. Right. Game over, please try again. The next hurdle: finding a job that you can tolerate for at least three months (any less and there is no way that they can be used to further your job searching capabilities later in life). Drink Sprite, play again. Dang it, Begalman!!!! Stupid rich person!!! They need to get lives. He should pay for my tuition!! That's it!!... I lose...FATALITY. Enough of that. I go out tomorrow to actually really look and hopefully find. "Well I guess this is growing up." (yeah, yeah cheesy...I'm over it). Until then---

Something funny... This one kind of goes out to Aaron: If zombies were made of cheese and you made a movie about zombies and, of course, having to kill them (again) you could call it Cut the Cheese!!! Yeah I'm an idiot, but that was the first thing in my head this morning so I had to share. Until then---

More lyrics... Look, I know that you probably don't want to see song lyrics to songs that you haven't heard, but hopefully you will hear and be delighted that "I," as in you, "was one of the first to know them!!" Aww how sweet but I think that my thoughts are more wrapped up in song and/or poetry, a lot alike in most, if not all, cases. In light of Grant's contest, I've come across lyrics that I wrote about two weeks ago but it semi-relates to some of the stuff being debated...or not. Whatever, here are the lyrics (the song sounds tight!!):
Reality
You're lost inside a dream
You're stuck within a world
You're left to be alone
Exiled in your home
You feel the fall of dark
You're pressed against the floor
You're here beyond a curse

Can you find your reality?
Is it lost in the wind?
Hold on to the Stronghold
It's the end and your begin

You don't know what you stand for
And you don't care to know
You don't know what to believe
It doesn't feed your soul
You feel the fall of dark
You're pressed against the floor
You're blessed beyond a curse
And you don't even know

Can you find your reality?
Is it lost in the wind?
Hold on to the Stronghold
It's the end and your begin

Until then---

Tonight, song lyrics... Preview to a song that I just wrote. I don't have much else to say and I want to say something. So here it is:
Follow
I drive the streets alone
I'm farther from my home
Yet I'm as close as I'll ever be
Cars pass me by
For You I will try
For You I...I'll follow

I'll go where You take me
Lead me from here
Let me away from my pain
I'll follow, I'll follow

I ride along the road
With promises I'm told
But I know this time they're all for me
You take your time
Some say it's a crime
That what they need may have to hurt them

I'll go where you take me
Lead me from here
Let me away from my pain
I'll follow, I'll follow

Until then---
