12-16 Feels Like Tonight

Hi. Hope all of you are doing well and are enjoying your break. I have a basketball tournament this weekend that I am extremely excited for(as Dwight Schrute would say lol). I am playing with a few really good local players and I think we have a great shot to win.

Little random story for you, as sad as it is...

I live in the country so there are some hick racist people around from time to time. So today I went to get my haircut on Main st. today and saw a 35 y/o guy with his baby son exiting a pickup. Th pickup was bright green and had confederate bumper stickers all over it. I looked at The dad's shirt which read "Slavery gets **** done." I mean really people? You are walking around in public with that shirt on in 2008!! I was simply speechless.

As for the music, tracks 2 and 3 are my sister, Annemarie's picks. Tracks 1 and 4 are mine.
Im gonna ask her for some insight the next few weeks over break....
Hope you like our combined musical tastes.....


1. Chasen - Drown
http://www.last.fm/music/CHASEN/_/Drown
Amazing song about Charleston, SC

2. Embrace - Gravity
http://search.playlist.com/tracks/embrace%20-%20gravity
British band which reminds me a lot of coldplay. Check em out.

3. Matt Nathanson - Weight of it all
http://search.playlist.com/tracks/matt%20nathanson%20-%20weight%20of%20it%20all%20
Powerful song about tough times in our lives.

4. Daughtry - Feels like tonight
http://search.playlist.com/tracks/daughtry%20-%20feels%20like%20tonight

This is a very powerful song about mistakes and trying to make them right...


Hope you enjoy.

12-9 Swing Life Away

Hey there. Im sitting on my couch in my lving room at about 1 am thinking about life, happiness, meaning and of course....music. I am 21 years old, with no plan for whats next to come. Since I can remember, we have always been pushed and encouraged to be in school, it has always been whats coming next fall. Oh wait not anymore. Get a job? Go back to Grad school? Take another adventure? haha who knows..... We all want the same thing---to be loved, to be wanted, to be utilized, to find our purpose. We all travel different paths but ultimately very similar things make us happy. True love, family, God's infinite mercy and glory, security, inspiration, passion, contentment, purpose, fulfillment.
These are the most important elements to life as we grow older, make our way and leave our legacy.

"Swing Life Away"
-Rise Against

As for music, this is what I have been listening to :


1. Beyonce - If I were a Boy Remix with R. Kelly

12-2 Christian Music update

Hey there. I drove to the local Christian bookstore today to find some new Christian stuff.
Its really sweet because you can unwrap any cd and listen to it on the cd players in the store, which they provide...Obviously when Im home its one of my favorite places to go relax.
While there, I found two new cd's by Nevertheless and Downhere, both of which are really awesome and I suggest you check out. Below is one song from each album. The other 3 songs are a few of my favorite Christian songs that you will hopefully enjoy.
