My God

this is for archival purposes. i don't remember if i posted this before (i probably did) but just in case, i need to put this somewhere where i won't lose it and i can remember where to look for it:

I kept thinking that God was supposed to come out of nowhere and fix everything.
But then I realised that God doesn't come upon you; he dwells inside of you. And hopefully I can get in touch with that.

this is by my friend madee, who constantly struggles internally with the christian faith and if it is for her. i love how she tries and is trying to change her lifestyle.

Go About Your Business, There's Nothing to Read Here

no, seriously. click next blog. :D
just here to blog again about mayday parade because i'm emotional. again.

i seriously could listen to mayday forever.
i could lie in a field of grass, by myself, with an ipod chock full of mayday and a battery that never died (now wouldn't that be nice?) and listen till my heart gave away. it would be better if like matt was there with me, but hey...he doesn't know.

i mean, i can't relate to what most of their songs are about, but...how can i feel like i can? like when you're listening to them, you feel like that person who derek tells everything to, like jason is mine. i tell him everything, i have told him my deepest secrets. idk if derek has one, but you feel so connected when you listen.

and i like how they write their songs. it seems so simple, but so structurally sound at the same time. like a suspension bridge or something. :/

when i hear their music, it feels like music should never get any more complex than that. not like their music is easy, it's incredibly difficult. but like i said, you can listen. you can...understand. does derek host song-writing workshops? :pant

i wrote DEREK SANDERS! on my social studies essay. let us see what my teachers says. xD

ANBERLIN!!!!!

what a n00bish title.

so hay. i saw them on thursday. i almost cried when we had to leave, it was one of the best nights of my entire life. i had a convo with chris kamrada of there for tomorrow, christian mcalhaney looked at me and smiled, and i got to poke christian from there for tomorrow's kneecap. :DDDDD

so now i'm on an anberlin itch now.
or, i want to be, since now that i look back and see all the songs i haven't listened to yet, i smack myself on the head and go to youtube. and that they're almost the best stuff i have ever heard (after relient k).

what's kind of amusing to me is, you know how funny and immature stephen christian acts? he writes songs like (*Fin) and Miserabile Visu.

BTW, speaking of Miserabile Visu, that song gives me the creeps.
Any talk of the book of Revelation and all that makes me want to crawl into a corner and cry. Dear God, protect me, save me. It's an extremely powerful song, but it's got this haunting aura to it since it's about the devil...etc. DD:
