in everything,lj import

i have a long long entry bubbling up inside of me… but it's not here yet.

tomorrow is Chad's birthday and someone's re-birthday… the second someone, well i forgot her real birthday, but i am hoping that i can make up for it for remembering what tomorrow is.

speaking of chad, the background on my LJ is a manipulation of a drawing he did for me about 4 years ago…

But against the merchantile<br>way of living, being written up as a statistic.<br>Your sick of it and your gonna let people know<br>it. God damnit you are Human being.<br>Smart,Funny,and Sexy. But sometimes you fail to<br>grasp the larger picture. You tend to screw<br>people over with your attitude and not even<br>realise it, Or maybe you do. Well whatever the<br>case you are a fucking lunatic. But you don't<br>care…Your house is still relativly in one<br>peice.

Yours were some of the<br>most brutal murders recorded in history–yet<br>your case is still to this day unsolved. You<br>came from out of the fog, killed violently and<br>quickly and disappeared without a trace. Then<br>for no apparent reason, you satisfy your blood<br>lust with ever-increasing ferocity, culminating<br>in the near destruction of your final victim,<br>and then you vanish from the scene forever. The<br>perfect ingredients for the perennial thriller.
You are quite the mysteriously demented?

okay, well, not really patterns… but i’ve had about 4 Bible verses come up in 3 different places today taht all are pertinent to what i am currently going through…


Unconnected thought:

Do you ever wonder “what if”? Like if you could go back and make different decisions? Not like decisions you know were bad, just ones that would have made your life different…

Well, I didn't get up until 3PM, which is always a good start…

There was a show today, decent show… most of the bands (Lies Untold, Blood of the Martyr, Better Off Dead, Armed Battery, This Runs Through & Symphony in Peril) had good stuff about them, but crap about them too. I did indeed like Sypmhony In Peril (ex-Zao Shawn Jonas' new band). Derek, Mike and I had some fun heckling, "We-we-we-we-wee-wewewe-wewe-we!" "That's a lot of nuts!" "You'll never make it, never make it, ever never make it, never make it…" Aaron kicked me in the face, it's all good though.

I acquired myself a Trogdor button for my jacket. Tom's making a whole bunch… I'm helping him come up with some relatively obscure images.

Afterwards I went to Valerios, Dan ased what I was into now and I completely drew a blank… I had to really think about it when I got back, there's such a limited amount of stuff that I am really really into:

Converge (and the like)
Demon Hunter
Living Sacrifice
Hatebreed
Johnny Cash
Norma Jean-ish stuff
Society's Finest
Unearth
Sinai Beach
Suffer Hereafter

…yeah, that's about all that really gets me shaking my butt consistantly.

Also, there's a 48 hour marathon going on on the university radio station and I won a free chicken strips and fries from John's, which will come in handy after the Gathering on Tuesday. Also, they're playing freakin' <b>Group X</b>!!!! They played the Super Mario Twins song, Greg and I were dying laughing! I love them… crazy fake Arabs!

Good night.

I love that the radio – the A.C. station that we listen to at work – plays "I Can Only Imagine."

Lately I've been really captivated by the night sky. Ever since I was able to go to that exhibit in Pittsburgh and watched the sky darken from a light blue to the deepest navy I've ever seen (or noticed I should say), framed by a white open skylight, I've been amazed that I've taken for [...]
