sorry

2003-08-14T16:21:00.001-07:00

to everyone who read that post before and the comments, i am sorry. i'm a stubborn sinner and sometimes when i realize something to be one way, i still fight it. i acted wrongly and then reacted wrongly, and i apologize and ask for your forgiveness. i'm not switching over solely for that purpose, but the link to this page is now located at http://anberlin.net/blog. thanks for reading and god bless.

America is too comfortable for Christ. The sooner this country is torn apart from war or poverty, the better.

Lego My Thing That I Built

2003-05-29T22:16:00.000-07:00

Me, Scott, and Tara built a seven foot plus lego tower tonight whilst watching Beauty and the Beast. It's got about 2,500 pieces and it took like three and a half hours. To top it off, we're not done yet. It should go up to nine feet in the morning. And it can withstand winds up to 2 miles an hour!!!

Ahem Yeah Well Hmmmm

2003-05-28T20:16:00.000-07:00

Okay so yeah I like, don't live in uh, Graceville anymooore. So like for sure I'm at the beach and stuff man. Like totally come and see me gnarly for real dude. Shyeah, gag me with a spoon.

Part of that World

2003-05-25T13:51:00.000-07:00

So I just watched The Little Mermaid twice in two days. That's such a great movie. I watched it with a group of girls both times and they were all laughing at me for knowing the words to the songs. I think that movie is definitely in my top ten.

I'm getting ready to move now. My car should be fixed later this week and then next weekend I'm off to Panama City. I'm so ready to get out of Graceville. That town is boring as hell unless you're like dead or something.

Anberlin.net

2003-04-19T20:34:00.000-07:00

Man. I've been working hard on it. Go check it out. I hope to finish in the next week. And then... Windshield Pictures?

FamilyDollar.Com

2003-04-17T02:31:00.000-07:00

So does it suprise anyone else that the store actually has its own domain? You'd think it would be more like this - http://coolstores.usa.com/cheapo-prices/familydollar.

Screw Prideful Contentment

2003-04-13T19:48:00.000-07:00

We are the epitome of a generation that has nothing better to do than sit around and talk about its facial hair. Then one day love, death, life, or hate slaps you in the face and you realize life is more important than getting caught sleeping in on a Sunday morning.

RKK With A Pink Button

2003-03-28T08:30:00.000-08:00

So I got to rock out with Anberlin last night, and hopefully again next Wednesday. Saw two new bands, Rock Kills Kid and Estelle. One more show and then it's back to boring old Graceville. At least I get to see the Lion King at Imax Saturday. That's something to be excited about. Not that stupid show Saturday night.

Too Drunk To Fight

2003-03-26T10:57:00.000-08:00

Straight from the mouth of Scott's little sister, Christina (interjected in a discussion about the war):

"Remember the big Bud Light boat at SeaWorld? They should get that boat and fill it with Bud Light and send it over there and say 'Free Bud Light! Free Bud Light!' Then they would all put down their guns and scream 'We give up!'"

Maybe it's worth a shot. Or a mug. Perhaps even a keg.

That Town Is Laid To Waste

2003-03-23T20:43:00.000-08:00

So after only one day, I can easily say that Jackvsonville is far more enjoyable than Graceville. I went to a Starbuck's for the first time. All I had was water, but still, it was fun. I get to see Anberlin thursday, and then Norma Jeans and Stretch on Saturday. Exciting. It's kind of like catching a frog. But at the same time, it's not like catching a frog at all. And that's what makes it so great. I could see myself living here....

The Eastern World

2003-03-11T13:17:00.000-08:00

My brother left for Kosovo Monday morning. I told him I loved him for the first time ever as he hugged me. Then he got on the helicopter and flew away to a war he didn't start. To fight with people he doesn't know. If he gets shot, I'm going to kick someone in the face. This country doesn't deserve him.

Keep The Chops Big Boy?

2003-03-05T11:04:00.000-08:00

So last week I was getting my hair cut by a guy I knew only from seeing him around the school a few times my first semester. Me and Justin were hanging out and he was like, "I'll cut your hair for free." So I said heck yeah. He proceded to get out his equipment and such and started right in on the job. He was very professional, but at the same time.....

Very feminine. Now I've had guy friends before that acted sort of girly but I knew they were straight. I'm not saying this guy was gay at all. And I'm not saying feminine guys are stereotypically gay. Even though I'm pretty sure they'd have to be. The point is, this guy was cutting my hair. With scissors. And I thought to myself, what would I actually do if he told me he was gay right then? Would I just sit and pretend I didn't hear him? Would I began a debate on why it's wrong? Or would I just say, "Oh that's nice."? I began to panic because I had no idea what I would have done. Thankfully, he finished the job with no further hints into his sexuality. But the thought still bugs me. Just what would I do in that situation? I'm pretty sure the first step would be to discontinue my enjoyment of the haircut altogether.

I Guess I'll Never Know

What's the point in trying if you know it will never happen? Some things in life are just too ridiculous for words.

One More Day Is One Too Many

2003-02-27T15:55:00.000-08:00

So Orlando is far away. So are my dreams. I'm going to get them one day, I'm sure of it. I'm ready to go now in the enthusiastic sense, just not in the common sense. Or so I've been told. Justin got a new job today at some factory the next town over. He starts at 48 hours a week making over eight dollars an hour. He wants me to go apply tomorrow morning. I told him I would. I'm not counting on getting the job, even though they need 5-6 more people. I'm not being pessimistic, I just don't want to plan on something like that and then it not happen. Even if I do get this job, I won't keep it long. I'll get my money and get the hell out of dodge. The main thing this means is I won't have to sell my car, which will definitely be a plus in Orlando. Where I will be soon. With my dreams. With my sweat and my guitar. And a little picture of a snowy town to remind me there are people out there who believe in me.

And This Is How We All Fall

2003-02-11T16:46:00.000-08:00

If you've never seen AnBerlin live, then you've never heard this song. And it is incredible. Go listen to it. Be amazed. You have three months to save up ten bucks for this cd. And yes, it will be worth it.

Good Morning Kosovo

2003-02-09T07:55:00.000-08:00

So I went and hung out with my brother this weekend. Turns out he's leaving for longer than I thought. Two years maximum, and one year minumum. I thought it would only be six months. He's staying in Fort Bonstell in Kosovo, the largest military installation in the world. They built it just for this war. He's a blackhawk crew chief, and what he does, there's only two divisions in the country who do it. I'm sort of excited for him but scared at the same time. He's got so much going for him in his life right now. He's engaged, loves his job, and he's getting better at guitar. He doesn't need to go over there and get shot. We're gonna keep in touch through email instead of phone, seeing as how they're ten hours ahead now. He'll be gone the first week of March, please pray for him if you remember.

Imagine The Peanut Butter....

2003-01-28T08:41:00.000-08:00

So I have a new excellent cd. Evergreen Terrace, "Burned Alive By Time." I love it. On the downside, my car pretty much got screwed this past weekend. I had no antifreeze in it when the freeze hit, so I didn't drive it at all until yesterday. I tried to crank it and all the water dropped out of the bottom of the engine. Not good. My car could be dead. That would not be fun. On the upside, AnBerlin starts touring again on February 8th!!! Two months sooner than they were supposed to!! On the downside, I have to go to work now.

2003-01-26T11:18:00.000-08:00

So I spent not so much time on Chase's site as I thought I would have to, and even though it still isn't finished, I am very proud of it. Everyone go check it out. Tell me what you think. Next on the list is to get rid of this temp I've got here. Granted, it was one of the nicest Blogger Pro had to offer, it's still not me. And that's no fun. So I'll be working on that and other stuff soon.

P.S. - Hopesfall is stinkin' awesome and I'm not watching the Super Bowl.

Cries Of The Past

2003-01-25T09:43:00.000-08:00

Yeah ^ that is now officially my favorite death metal record. Everyone should hear it. The guitar is incredible. I also borrowed the new Hopesfall from Scott, so I'm counting on some good tunes today, as I work on Chase's new temp.

I found out a cool thing yesterday. Actually I thought it was quite amazing, but certain people's nonchalant reactions clued me in that it was not quite as profound as I had hoped. But, what I discovered was that I can tell what a coin is without seeing it. Just feeling it. I'm only good for pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters right now, but I hope to soon merge into other coinage. I should run away and join the circus.

The temperature in Graceville today, according to weather.com, is 21° with a wind chill of 9°. However, I also read on solarviews.com that the temperature on the surface of the sun is 11,000°. That being said, I am done complaining about how cold it is for the rest of the day.

So boxblog.com is going to die soon, and with it will go many memories. I've enjoyed the community of blogging so far, and I don't intend on stepping down that easily. Looking back through some old posts of mine on bas made me realize I've certainly lost the vigor I once had. Keeping the spirit alive was much more difficult than I thought. I'm not making any apologies because I never made any promises. And I'm not going to start now. I will say this, the posts on this site, although lax, will hopefully be a bit more frequent. Thanks for stopping by, and close the door, it's freeeeezing outside today!
