even though you thought that i had forsaken my haven of written thoughts, you were mistaken and i have returned. even if you thought that my attempts at writing something worth reading were out of your window, you were also mistaken. it may not be worth reading, but it is definately worth throwing out the window.
as a kid, i use to always listen to five iron frenzy. there was just something about them that made me smile. maybe it was because adam porter liked them so much and he was so cool and i wanted to be like him. maybe i liked it because i actually liked it. i will never know. but right now silas and myself are listening to them and it makes me smile inside.
i want you to know that my favorite band of all time is no longer together. even though cool hand luke hasn't put out an official announcement, they are all but gone. mark has joined the chariot. this causes a few emotions to form in my mind. the first one is complete sadness. ok, i may not have found out about cool hand luke (shaun grimes and adam porter need credit for that one), but i liked them alot. they were the first and really only christian band that was/is honest. they weren't afraid to say that they struggle and fall just as much as i do. their encouragement and wisdom helped me through alot of stuff and it sucks to think there won't be a new record with new things to ponder. i think the thing that consoles me is that compact discs last a long time. new people will be able to listen to them and it will be great and they will be able to have the joy that i have cuz of their music. i don't know what i think about mark joining the chariot..i mean yeah they are good, but maybe he could start another band and make more new music. just a thought.
copeland and mae have new cds coming out in march. i am excited.
jessica and amber deserve a shout out for hanging out with me during xmas.
ok, i'm pissed off and heres why: when i walked into that convention center and saw that shirt, i think anger came into me. that isn't right. say no to drums. they had a praise team up there with 4 huge plasma tvs and a guy who's whole purpose was to make the beat with his cute little microphone. give me a freakin break. i wish people weren't so close minded, because that made me not want to listen to a word they said. what if an agnostic knew both sides, the church of christ side and the non denom side. what would he say then. that makes me angry. i told my mom about it and she laughed so hard. my dad was as mad as i was.
Je leverai les yeux a toi-
J'ai change cent foi de nom
Je leverai les yeux a toi-
Je n'ai pas d'spoir
im kind of sick of being lonely. i kind of wish God would just tell me one morning. "Well Jon, today is the day and you will meet her for the first time. And even though you will have hard times, you will be able to work through them because you are meant to be together, and it will be beautiful." Hey, I am willing to wait for that, and the big guy up there knows that. I don't think im ready for it, but when I am, I will tell her. "I wish you could put your ear up to my heart, and hear how much I love you." That line is beautiful and so true. I just need to run up about 16 flights of stairs to make sure I get the full effect.
You watched me like a 10-car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity.
i smoked paper in memphis in the kitchen after lighting the table on fire right as mama dillard walked in with an astonished look on her face.
sometimes when i get angry i break trees.
When you laugh you'll feel my breath there
filling up your lungs. And when you cry,
those aren't your tears but I'm there
falling down your cheek.
and when you say you love him, taste me
I'm like poison on your tongue-
But when you're tired, if you're quiet,
you'll hear me singing you to sleep.
chase and levi are evil. they introduced me to final fantasy, and even though im not playing i feel like i know the characters. its a fun little story line and it doesn't make sense, but i like it. Yuna. I might have to buy a cheap PS2 so i can play during the summer when i have to go sleepy early.
that night on the beach was amazing. this may sound so weird, but after I prayed alot I felt this weird emotion. It was intense excitement and contentedness and joy and awe rolled all together in one. It was like a fraction of what it could feel in heaven. It was amazing and I felt happy. Besides the conference being worthless to me, the quiet times I had were fantastic. God finally talked to me and gave me a task to do. And I went and did it that day and it felt great. Just looking at those waves for hours did my heart well. Then i got to walk with Chase and go to the pier (cute), it was great. The song "May I Have This Dance" by Copeland will be one of the songs that I would love to live out with you one day. Florida and the beach and friends makes for a good time. Btw, I was in the water and it felt great.
I've got a dream for us
Running threw my mind
Sitting on the beach
Looking at the sea
We are old and tired
And time has made us smile
As we go on counting things
People in the breeze
And we're not the only ones
There's hundreds on the shore
Looking at the sea
But it's just you and me
i listened to this and looked at the waves.
Katie Quinn and Silas George crack me up for reasons that should most likely not be mentioned at any time or any place.
i feel like i lost one of my best friends over the christmas break. i tried to do the right thing, but it backfired in my face and i feel like she won't want to talk to me every again. but i wrote her a letter and i really hope that it helps straighten things out, because i don't want to have anger or lose her forever.
you know i really wonder..why do we lose contact with so many of our oldest friends. i mean of the friends i have in cincinnati, which i was super close to, i am still in good contact w/ maybe 5 of them. thats sad isn't it..well, i don't know. i think that may be on purpose. i think God sometimes brings us into people's lives and takes us out for a reason. About 7 months ago I wouldn't have wanted to believe that at all, but now I think it is true. still, that is a pretty sad thought. the people you use to care about so much really are moving on and doing new things. i never thought i would have to make new friends, but now that i have i am really happy. i don't know why many would read this much stupid writing and care about how happy i am, but if you did, then thank you.
i use to think that marissa and ryan should be together and everything would be ok. i don't think that anymore, i think lindsey is great.
i wonder how charles is. i use to work with him at family christian but he left to be a missionary in russia. he was older and i wonder how it went and how he is doing. i think he is doing great and it went awesome.
i enjoy talking to my parents on the phone. it is fun.

gosh, if you read this far you must be a friend, or insane, or something. thank you.
i just started reading the 5th book of Harry Potter. im almost scared to pick it up again. Harry seems like he has anger problems, and I would just hate to see him blow up at everyone that loves him. I feel like he is going to cause a lot of problems. I hope it all works out.
i was going to get my hair cut today, but i decided not to.
and yes, i love spacejam too.
The End.
