THIS JUST IN!

New xanga site for me. My new xanga site is: http://www.xanga.com/nowitguitarist. So head on over there if you haven't already... and subscribe to that one! Fare-thee-well "crazybass3"

How come life has to be soooo freakin' confusing!? oh well. Well... today was the 1st day of classes. Actually... it wasn't that bad. I only had ONE class! haha. Goood stuff. Sadly... we are going to have a final at the end of the year... so no "NO FINALS" for me. Hopefully.... I won't have too many more though. Well, I'm gonna go. Have a good one everyone!

PS. SAM SAMPLE! You need to come visit! I could sure use a screaming buddy (if you're still in a screaming state!)! haha. Plus... yeah.... You ditched out last year. haha. j/k. Oh yeah Julia... I haven't been to Omaha with a Local...so yeah... I probably don't know how fun it is. haha.

Nothing too exciting happened today. Went to the mall with my family and Angela (my bro's g/f) as well as lunch before hand. Besides that... nothing much. Woke up... went on an hour and a half long bike ride, then tried to run.... but my legs weren't working properly for a run cuz of the long bike ride (so I'll just extend the bike ride tomorrow)... then after the mall/lunch... just watched tv and played PSP... then went and helped my bro get our tiki torches filled up so we could light them... and ate dinner... and now here I am. Well, I'm off to do find s'more stuff to do... and I've just told we're gonna shoot off bottle rockets... so bye!

OH YEAH. I have just recently aquired the old Hawk Nelson CD. Like, their 1st one... before "letters...". Julie and Cathy... thought you would enjoy hearing that. Last time I knew... you two didn't have it! HA.

Well, it's about 2 am down here in albuquerque. I can't really sleep. Things kinda just suck a little bit right now. Just really disappointinig/suprising and stuff.. I'm actually not really looking forward to going back to school at this point. Like, not even because of the the classes, but yeah. It's also not even that I wanna stay here... cuz I really don't wanna stay here that much. Oh well. I've also been thinking a lot about my career. Like, sometimes I have doubts and what not about what i'm really supposed to do... like if I really am supposed to do this music/band thing. But the past few days... I've just been having like some "FOR SURE" feeling. Like, I know it won't be easy (I mean, i can tell everytime i pick up a guitar and start to write. haha) but I just have this strong feeling that it's what I'm supposed to do. Thus, I've been thinking realistically about if I got signed and stuff. I probably wouldn't be able to do college and the music at the same time. No matter how much I would love to see that happen... it's probably just not realistic. Cuz music would take up the majority of my time. So if I do get signed in college (which will hopefully happen)... I'm gonna probably drop out. However.... HOPEFULLY (and probably what I will want to do) I will stay up there in Iowa.... cuz even though I'm not crazy about going back up right now... when i'm up there.... I feel more at home. I feel my friends up there are better friends then I've ever had, they pretty much feel like (and especially with the guys) family. When I'm here.... I just don't have that feeling. There's a Jimmy Eat world song called "the world you love" and there's this one part that goes: "I fall asleep with my friends around me... the only place I feel safe... I'm gonna call this home". And yeah, that's just a GREAT song and I can really relate to the whole thing right now... but yeah... when I hear that part... the first thing that pops in my head.... Iowa/Northwestern/etc. So where I would live... I'm not really sure. I guess when the time comes.... God will let me know. I could live in my Aunt/uncles I'm sure.... but I wouldn't want to like... be a bother you know? I'd probably get an apartment or something. So yeah. Besides studies and friends and stuff.... I'm gonna really focus on music this semister... then during the summer... maybe work some more on songs... do some shows... and record a demo and send it in (early summer hopefully) and yeah.... just see what happens.

TAKE ME

Can you hear me? Does anyone around me
Feel the way that I feel now?
Cause from the window where I sometimes cry
I just want to see Your face tonight
And I’m willing to lose everything I am

Cause I need you more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ve been going wrong so far

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone anymore

When You’re near me, I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is so black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won’t be coming back to here again

I need Your loving hand to guide me
Through the maze of all the things inside me
Then I’ll know that I’m alright

Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ll be going wrong so far

Tale me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not along anymore
Please help me get from worse to better
Before these tears soak through this lonely sweater
And let me know that I’m alright
I still have one strike of this match left
And I’m holding on to my last breath
And its getting a little dark around to see here

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on it will be alright
You’re not alone

And You’ll be here forever, forever You’ll stay
And You promised to love me, You’ll love me always
You’ll love me for always, You’ll love me for always
Always
