| yes i'm still around. just hanging out on myspace way too much.
i found this writing and it still applies today:
Though my life is coming to a crucial turning point, I fear that I am not ready. I am anxious to see what comes in the future, but I am scared that I will not be able to conquer all that I am faced with. I know that God will be right there, aiding me throughout it all, and sometimes even carrying me when I have no strength left. My worst fear is not making a significant impact on others’ lives. I want to be able to look down from heaven on the day of my funeral, and see people completely affected by the encounters they had with me. The only way I can do that is through God. I know the person God wants me to be, and I know I am not there yet. I believe that in order to fully become the real “you”, you need to be willing to sacrifice those things that you know are not necessarily helping your character. I am frank enough to state that I am not willing to give up those things yet. I willingly admit that I am not ready. I am just hoping that God takes that as a humble self-declaration. I do not claim to be the perfect Christian. I know that I have many faults and many sins that I participate in. But my heart is true. I am real. I know that God has made my heart with the spirit of His, and someday that heart will wholly shine through. I do not judge those who are not walking with God, I do not deject those who are living the secular life of the world, because I know that everyone struggles with different forms of sin, and as the word says “a sin is a sin”, no matter its magnitude. I just pray that those who do not know God can be stronger than I am when it comes to weaknesses. I know that I am strong at heart, but my flesh is weak. I just want to spread the love of God. God is love. And the greatest of all things is love. A love that is never failing, never judgmental, never favoring. A love that is always there, regardless of how many mistakes are made. Love keeps no records of wrongs, and is patient with our human-ness. We can be away from God for years, and He’ll still be right behind us, waiting patiently for our cry for help, and eager to sweep us off our feet. That, to me, is unfathomable. That, to me, is true love. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| had a fun weekend at home. got to see all the people i love and couple people i dont, but all in all a good weekend. i already miss home. jordan and i had a great conversation friday night- filled with yelling and then ALOT of tears but it ended magnificiantly (sp?) and i love him so much more now. he's such a blessing, even if he is so fricking opinionated. i love all my friends, they are amazing.
i'm convinced i have the best mother in the world. she's my best friend and although she gets on my nerves sometimes... i know she has ALWAYS and WILL ALWAYS love me-- mistakes and all.
easter sunday was good.. church was good, i cried... but i always do.
other than that. back to orange county, back to school, back to softball... two of those things i don't mind at all. (HINT: school's not one of them) whatever. that's life.
1 year and i'm doing just fine. ___________________________________________
You tried so hard to make me stumble...
But I'm so much stronger than that. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| I LOVE the band PLUMB.
One of my friends randomly brought out their cd tonite, and I haven't listened to them since high school... so we put it on my ipod. I used to listen to this cd everyday and my best bud and i would belt it out at the top of our lungs!!! ahhh... those were the days. p.s. they have amazing lyrics, and you know how i feel about that.
I watched you sit alone I watched you cry your eyes out Now tell me what you've done
is it so bad that I would shut you out And leave you here alone
Yes, I saw what you did I was right there with you I won't let you sink No, I forgive you
Phobic Don't be Grace needs a little more freedom Phobic Don't be Love needs room to breathe
I have watched you grow And I've stood in your shadow I've never walked away
I hung the stars and I hold your heart So, don't ever be afraid
Yes, I know when you breathe And I feel when you need I won't let you sink No, I forgive you
You can be healed You can be free You can know peace Never be afraid again
Never be afraid Never be afraid He's here
----------
in my heart i had hope built on dreams i'll never know answers to love left behind.
I have a HUGE game tomorrow. I can't sleep though. Ehhhhh....

you made a fool of me tell me why you say that you don't care but we made love tell me why you made a fool of me you made a fool of me
i want to kiss you does she want you with the pain that i do i smell you in my dreams but now when we're face to face you won't look me in the eye no time, no pleasure, no love you say don't touch you i can't touch you no more i can't touch you anymore anymore...
you made a fool of me tell me why, tell me why you say that you don't care but we made love tell me why
Over a year since it started back up again.... starting up again... its starting up again.... we'll be watching your back. It's permanent. NOTHING IS PERMANENT.
NOTHING. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| God, I can't do it anymore. I can't hold on to it. Please, take it away. I am done, I am not strong enough and I need you to take it off my heart. Its weighing me down..... It's killing me.
I get to go home and see my family next week, couldn't have been better timing, I need home to refresh my spirits.

| I just wanted to let all my friends know...
I found out last week that my brother got re-activated, and he is going to be shipped back to Iraq in January sometime. He's already been there once for 6 months, so its a little frustrating because we thought he was done serving his duty. But my family and I know that its all in God's hands, and my brother is completely happy to serve his country all over again. He even said last time when he came back from Iraq that he'd do it all over again, and well... here's his chance. Please pray for my family (especially my mom), my brothers girlfriend (who is taking it very hard) and ALL THE FAMILIES who have to deal with having a loved one over seas fighting for their country.
You don't have to support the war, but you can support the people fighting for us.
Thanks guys/gals.

| All that I needed to hear from you Something of value but something untrue All that I wished that I'd find within you Stings when I see all the ways that you...
Took me for granted and told me it's through Picked from my pockets and smiled Empty is nothing and nothing is you Think I'll just sit for a while
See how what I wanted and I needed It wasn't enough in the end...
-yellowcard-
i went to the starting line/yellowcard show on saturday night. it was overall a great show, mostly because of yellowcard. i wasn't fully impressed with how starting line sounded, but i still love them. it was the last night of the tour and it was great one to end on... i just feel so happy for those guys, you can tell that their dream has totally come true, and they absolutely LOVE doing what they do, and love all their fans. plus, they are great guys, so they deserve it. favorite songs played, "gifts and curses", "one year six months", "only one", "back home".... especially "back home"... completely AMAZING having them belt that song out along with the crowd. AMAZING feeling....
another sunny day in californ-i-a i'm sure back home they'd love to see it but they don't know that what you love is ripped away before you get a chance to feel it
everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts, just to pass the time and my eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind put it all behind me and i'll be just fine
another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky sometimes i wish that it would rain here and wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes there's nothing real for them to see here
another starry night in californ-i-a i'm sure back home they'd love to see it but they don't know that
what you love is ripped away before you get a chance to feel it... | comments: Leave a comment  |
| i loved him lord. i loved him enough to die for him, and he did this to me. maybe he's beyond redemption. how do you forgive someone who doesn't even care enough to want to be forgiven?
read the book redeeming love. probably one of THEE best books ever. god is faithful regardless. look at the story of hosea in the bible.

| what is it with guys from my past... who have used and abused my loving nature... returning randomly to make "amends"?!?!?!?!?
seriously.. it weirds me out. got a call from an old friend, jason, who i haven't talked to in over a year. he said he's totally straightened his life out (he was a coke addict, and really messed up, but of course, i was willing to help him out any way i could).... and is making money, living on his own, bought a car, etc. and he wanted to get back in touch because he knows we ended on bad terms and wanted to say sorry and become friends again.... SOUNDS FAMILIAR!?!?!??!?!?!? fuck.
anyways. so we'll see what happens. i mean, it makes me happy to hear he's got his life together... but i've heard that line before... and well... look where that brought me.... to hell.
sooooo.... yea....
whatever.
i'm loving working at starbucks. its fun and i love everyone i work with, they are awesome people. its a busy job and a very multi-tasking type environment... but i love it. plus, free coffee.
yea, i have 50 innings of softball to play tomorrow... then i get to kick it with my boy joshua.... i love that kid... he's probably one of the most REAL friends i have. plus he's determined to set me and his roommate (who's an amazing guitar player in a punk band!) up!!!
again... we'll see.
i am over and out. tired like woah. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| It still hurts everyday The pain hasn’t subsided All the emotions are constant The heartache vividly colored
But you’re on with your life Living amongst the deceit While I sit here still caring Wondering if you even think twice of what you’ve done to me. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| last year was one of our better years in a life full of separation it's ok to second guess just as long as you remember she's gone.. in the bright of day it might seem like the stars are gone they never leave, they come back when the sun moves on it's over now you watched me as i turned around it's not why, but how the light is on i'll come home now i feel it's been such a long time since her eyes have met with mine i feel it's been such a long time i'm glad you've made up your mind it's hurting me from the inside if i only had something to say maybe if i prove that i'm right will it still be safe to stay? | comments: Leave a comment  |
| You're there by my side In every way I know that you would not forsake me I give you my life Would not think twice Your love is all I need believe me
I may not say it quite as much as I should When I say I love you darling that means for good So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever Until death do us part we'll be together So take my hand and hold on tight And we'll get there This I swear
I'm wondering how I ever got by Without you in my life to guide me Where ever I go the one thing that's true Is everything I do I do for you
I may not say it half as much as I should When I say I love you darling that means for good So open up your heart and let me in And I will love you 'til forever Until death do us part we'll be together So take my hand and hold on tight And we'll get there This I swear
So whenever you get weary Just reach out for me I'll never let you down my love
And I will love you 'til forever Until death do us part we'll be together So take my hand and hold on tight And we'll get there
And I will love you 'til forever Until death do us part we'll be together So take my hand and hold on tight And we'll get there Ohh we'll get there This I swear....
wonder and pray... everyday. and i love you still, this is ever true... after all you said, did you think it through.
lord, your will is the only perfect will. please protect my heart and fulfill your will....... please lord.

| been home for like... three days.. and i haven't gone to sleep before two yet. the acceptance boys are here.... i love those guys to death. the gatsby boys are rad too... and i have a new merch buddy... hahaha.. richie from the snake the cross the crown (their merch guy) he's soooo fricking rad.
the shows are awesome too... all the bands are playing well. tomorrow night (tonight) is chain reaction... that place always brings a good show. can i say that acceptance's set has risen to a new amazement. the new songs sound awesome live. the lyrics are indescribable (sp?) i have a new appreciation for the meaning behind them, and the emotion of what jay is singing. its a feeling that only those who really know what/who he's singing about can feel. but it honestly has helped me "vent" or "cope" in a sense.... so a huge thanks to jay for being such an amazing songwriter
what it would be like to look at the person in the face and be singing the song that tells how much they hurt you.
knowing that its far from over, this one belongs to you.
