Some shows I have yet to see

So I'm listening to Coldplay, totally regretting never going to see them when they came through Pittsburgh. So I've decided to compile a list of bands/artists I want to see before I die. These are in no particular order:


Michael Jackson
Coldplay
Underoath
Elton John
mewithoutYou
Story of The Year
Kenny Loggins
Dave Matthews
Hillsong United
Radiohead
Third Day

Today started out fine

I enjoyed my first class. It was creative non-fiction writing, and we were reading essays about Thanksgiving. It's the beginning of fall, and the leaves are starting to change. There is a bright orange one standing in front of McKelvey, and it is beautiful. Reading those essays reminded me of the holidays, that are soon coming to be around the corner. So that was my morning, and it was enjoyable.

I get a call during lunch. I overdrew my bank account. I don't know how, and so I walk down to the bank with Jess. It happens that my sure saver CD was drawing money out of an empy account, so I had to close that account and withdraw my account. So that was okay, I still had about 175 dollars left in my checking.

I was in the library writing a paper proposal for my religion class when I read an e-mail saying that I had to bring in 400 dollars for my training trip to San Diego, so I call my parents. They had paid for everything last year, so I figured this year wasn't any different. I guess not. Last year, my parents paid with my bonds from my uncle, and I'm out of bonds now. So now either I or my parents have to find 400 dollars to pay for the plane ticket. I can sell raffle tickets, but its gonna be hard to sell 40 raffle tickets.

Swimming is time consuming and physically and mentally draining. I walk by kids on campus and wonder what it is like to not have to swim. I could get a job, make money, start paying off college loans; maybe even save up for a car. I could go to bed past 11, I could spend more time playing music. I could actually go on breaks. I could play more shows. This year and next I am really going to have to depend on God to provide things. I need a car next summer and I am going to have to take out a 3000 dollar loan to get one, plus money for insurance. I need some time off. I'm going to see New Found Glory tonight, another great financial desicion. Maybe that will put me in a better mood.

Another Poem

So I used to write a lot last year....so I figured I would post all my poems. Here's another one:

Through

4/26/06

Through the ignorance, through the flames
Through the mistakes that lead to my shame
Through the anger, through the pain
Through the stubbornness that drives me insane.
Through the fights, through the tears,
Through the sleepless nights that cause my fears.
Through the lying, through your glances,
Through the times I’ve learned not to take chances.
Through the silence, through the lying
Through the times I’ve died from trying.

Through the fights, through the friends
Through the times I made amends.
Through the mire, through the clay
Through the times I had to take day by day.
Through the judgments, through the haze
Through the confusion I’m lost in this maze.
Through the phone and through the trying
Through the nights I’ve felt like dying
Through my experience, I know I must live
Through these times, I’ve learned to forgive.
