Oh man, first real post!
Listening to: "Cavity King" - Project 86
So I went to the Project 86 show downtown last night. Oh man, I love that band so much. Seriously, if you don't have the new album yet, go buy it. Anyway, concert. Last night was the fourth time I'd seen them, and it also happened to be the best show I've seen. As in best show ever. Granted, I usually say that everytime I go to a concert, but this time I probably mean it. My sister and I painted skulls on our faces because of something Andrew said on the band's tour journal like a year ago (photos of us coming soon). We got weird looks for it, but it was so worth it because we got free CD samplers, a free Rockstar energy drink, and best of all Andrew Schwab himself stuck the microphone in my face. In all the times I've seen them, I've never seen him put the microphone in anybody's face, but this time he stuck it in mine. Definitely a highlight of my life. Unfortunately we had to leave early, so we missed the last half of "The Hand, The Furnace, The Straight Face", "Stein's Theme", and "Another Boredom Movement", which is pretty lame, especially since I've never seen them play "Another Boredom Movement" live. Oh well. I bought a shirt and their DVD for $20, which is awesome. I can't wait to watch the DVD with my sister tonight. I better be in the Sonshine footage, or I will probably cry.
Okay, so I've talked about music, and now it's time to talk about faith. Andrew said something between songs last night that I really needed - "I've realized that the only thing that really matters in this life is Jesus. It's as simple as that." I've been straying quite a bit lately, and apart from this morning, I can't even tell you the last time I read more than a couple verses out of a Bible. My life is in need of some serious change right now. Anyone who wants to give me some prayer is more than welcome to it.
Well, that about wraps it up for right now. I gotta head off to work in about five minutes, and then come home and program for a couple hours because I waited two weeks until to today to do my Visual Basic homework for tomorrow. Stupid 6 1/2 hour Saturday classes... anyway, goodbye for now. Maybe I will update this more than my other blog. Don't count on it, though.
