Different.

I like the format on wordpress, and it's a bit easier to organize/manage/update.

Life.

I'm working on putting a new blog together. One that I'll actually update on a semi-regular basis (weekly minimum).

God is cool. I really needed a job... and it looks like I have 2 now. Both EXACTLY what I was looking for. Also, my roommate and I are going to buy our esspresso machine today (we're huge coffee nerds). Here's a picture:



Completely manual. Can't wait to pull some doubles in a 2 oz. Bodum Pavina. Yes, this is incredibly nerdy.

Well, I hit the road with these guys tomorrow. Not for long, just a few weeks. I've known Sam and Jeremy for a few years now, and we've been talking about playing together (again) for probably a year and a half. It should be fun.

I'm trying to get better at taking pictures and stuff... so I'll hopefully put a few up here and there.

Love, love, love,

Same Mistakes.

This song has been running on repeat in my head for months now. A friend of mine introduced me to Justin King a while back, and I just fell in love.

Lyrically... Rhythmically... Musically... this guy's got it.

Life outside the fish's belly.

I rarely write notes/blogs anymore. I don’t know why this is an exception. Scratch that, I do… but I’ll spare you.

As I sit listening to Obadiah Parker’s “The Tip Jar, Vol. 1 – EP,” I’m excited for this month. This summer. This whole…. “life” thing.

May: Be a vegetarian. Attempt snakeboarding. Play guitar (and bass). Write music. Find a coffee shop dumb enough to book me. Pray. Fast. Laugh. Read. Run.
June/July/August: Tour. Ministry. Friends. Music. Fun.

Perhaps it’s just circumstance… but I’ve found myself drawing closer and closer to God lately. This is something I’ve wanted/needed/prayed about for quite some time now. In hindsight, I was in a horrible state in the beginning of fall. I didn’t like me. Now… I feel like a new person.

This is good.

I’ve said for months that I’m going to run a marathon next year. I’m sticking to this. Twin Cities Marathon. 2010. I actually started training last night. I’ve started. It’s happening.

I’ve said for years that I’m going to do the whole guitar/singing thing. I’m starting. It’s happening.

I’m getting another tattoo. I’ve been thinking about this one since October. I might do it tonight…. I might do it next January. I don’t know when exactly; but I’ve decided to do it (sorry dad).

I’m taking active steps. I’m taking action.

8 months ago, I was Jonah in the belly of the whale. Now I have vision. I have hope. I have Jesus.





This is good. This is very good.

I'm on a huge William Fitzsimmons kick again. I think it's because I'm so enamored by the guy... there's something so raw and real about his music. If I could play guitar, sing, write or have a beard half as awesome as he does... I'd give up playing bass in a hearbeat.

Really, I would.
