Stop. You know I need you. The moment I see that tear run down your face…

Is it weird that maybe I feel more claustrophobic when people aren’t around?
I think so.
I spent pretty much all day yesterday completely alone. No parents. No car. No grandparent down the street.
Stranded in my house.
I woke up around 4:30ish? My mom was just leaving to go to a wedding. My dad got called in, and was gone from 8am-11pm, and my mom came home for about 45 minutes, to get ready to go to work. So she was here from 9:15ish-10.
I spent the night designing this wall unit type of thing. I’m sick and tired of STILL not having enough storage in my room. So. I want to do something about it. It’s getting to the point of my room not being liveable.
Haha. I totally just said I designed a wall unit. I sound so chic-ish. Will the parentals go for it? Doubtful. But who knows. I need space. We clearly aren’t moving any time soon. *gags* so…yea. I think they should give me the garage. They think not.
As much as I adore Skillet, they pretty much annoy me to no end. I don’t think there’s a single song of theirs that doesn’t make me feel like the most internally conflicted person in the world.
I guess formalities aren’t my thing. The memorial was kinda…weird. But…oh well. We couldn’t understand it at all. For some reason, there was a Nigerian guy doing the service. With an incredibly thick accent. And the lady who gave the…sermon-ish thing was rambling about halloween. I mean…some of it was nice, but most of it was just so…weird that you kinda had to laugh.
A girl in front of us got in a ’silent fight’ with her mom during the thing, and her mom hit her. The girl was probably my age, so it was really annoying. Then she started mouthing off to her mom. It was just so….annoying. It probably didn’t help having like 2 hours of sleep, but oh well. It was different. That’s for sure.
The song I found, that I now adore?
Let’s just stop,
drop everything,
(forget each other’s names) forget each other’s names,
And just walk away.
Turn around and head in different directions,
Like we never, it’s like we never knew each other at all.
We said what we feel, then we stop ourselves,
And just walk away.
Never looking back,
Loving every second of it,
we just walk away.
This is probably the best,
not to mention the worst idea,
that I have ever had.
Ignoring what we’ve felt,
Overlooking what we’ve done,
No awkward silences, no hiding any truths
Ignoring what we’ve felt,
Overlooking what we’ve done,
What do you say?

Can we please just walk away?
It could be…It could be…
Like we never knew each other at all.
Walk away!
All egos aside, what do you say?

The acoustic version of that song is probably one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard. Beautiful piano, vocals, everything. Chiodos. Baby You Wouldn’t Last A Minute On The Creek (acoustic). Go get it. It’s on their Myspace!
Anyways. There’s no way I’m missing this Kevin Max show. No way. I messaged the guy who put it together, and he told me its TOTALLY and completely free, even if you don’t go to school at U of I, and it starts at 9, which just…makes my life so insanely easy- you have no idea.
18 minutes away.
on the 18th.
but NOT for $18 :-p
fa-reeeeeeee
It was kinda ironic actually, cause I emailed my cousin the other day to figure out when Benjin’s party would be, and then like 12 hours later, I found this show. Most likely going to be on the same day. But if the show starts at 9, it never comes in to play. It’s on a Sunday, so unless my dad has crazy work stuff, my mom can drive the Jeep, I have the car, and it’s a beautiful, beautiful thing!
*holds breath* a month. This man…I cannot explain it. I’ve wanted to see him for three years now. Every show I’ve heard of has either been hours away (and…it’s just not worth it), or 21+.
He might flood over into excess every now and then, but at least the man doesn’t live his life by some religious puzzle piece. And it is because of that amazingness that I started really liking him, and digging into his stuff.
Yay for that. We’ve all got our flaws, but the vast majority of what I’ve seen from him, he seems to get it, and really get it. Not saying he doesn’t fall, but…he just falls very publicly. He doesn’t get caught up in the stupid drama. He’s incredibly unapologetic for who he is, whether it be ‘too conservative’, or ‘too wild’, and that’s obviously rubbed some people the wrong way.
It’s strange. He’s the only dcTalk member that I really like, in a musical sense, and yet, is the only one I haven’t seen live. Try to figure that one out. I did go through a fling with the Tait stuff, and still do at times, but they’re not a band I’d say I love or anything. And Toby…just…yea…no.
Because…I don’t know. I find myself, for the most part, having way more respect for Kevin than most other artists. He knows his flaws, and puts them out there. And that’s just beyond rare in CCM, from what I’ve seen. Mostly, if a flaw is admitted, it seems more along the lines of “oh, I went through a time of not praying at all. It lasted like a year, but things are great now.”
And Kevin admits ‘worldly’ flaws that he’s got NOW, not a year ago. And it bugs me, because everyone has them, to an extent, and yet, CCM just totally bashed him for it.
Bleh. Too many lessons to learn from that one.
such a weird weird thin line there.
Sooooo anyways. If you’re going to be within an hour or so’s drive, you should go, because…it’s Kevin Max. How can it NOT be amazing?!
