| *and yet another song I wish I had written*
Please don't mind what I'm trying to say cuz I'm
I'm being honest when I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set
On the rest of my life being a part of you
Tell me what you think about being open
About being honest with yourself
Cuz things will never be the same
So I guess I'll see you
I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay
Don't waste time getting to the point cuz I'm
I'm patiently waiting for your next phone call
Your next excuse for losing sleep again
Tell me what you think about being open
About being honest with yourself
Cuz things will never be the same
So I guess I'll see you
I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay
Cuz I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I can't, I could never walk away
How can we resolve this now
We let it go and wonder how
This can ever be the same
Can never be the same
So I guess I'll see you
I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay
Cuz I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I can't, I could never walk away
Please don't mind what I'm trying to say cuz I'm
I'm being honest

| I keep thinking about leaving dreams of you behind
Daydreams laced with memories of the years gone by
I've forgotten other women but you stay on my mind
Tattered pictures in my head steal my heart
After all this time
All the tears I've cried
Can you say that you think
Think of me
In the darkness now
And no place to hide
Can you say that you think
Think of me
I think of you
We'll work it out someday she said
I worked it out last night with a colt to my head
Dodging glances that would leave for dead
Slip into the great unknown with the good book by my side
After all this time
All the tears I've cried
Can you say that you think
Think of me
In the darkness now
And no place to hide
Can you say that you think
Think of me
I think of you
*It's kinda strange how all the songs on our first album (To: The girl in the front row) were almost all about a certain girl. And then all the songs on this album (Johnny Rocket) were written with no specific girl in mind or no real personal experience that I had. But now...it's like Johnny Rocket was foreshadowing my life. I'm almost afraid to write the next album for fear of what it might say to me.

| It's like this is your last chance to get it, knowing that you never
will, but never giving up because you always get one more last
chance. It's a little bit weird how every band that comes to
Aberdeen to play talks about how awesome the scene is and yet I
personally don't like playing here very much. I can't recall it
right now, but it's like that verse that talks about how a prophet is
never accepted in his own town.
Anyway, I figured that it's about time to update this thing.
There's been a lot going on in the past two months. We started
recording our CD...finished...listened to it and decided it sounded
like crap. So we're gonna re-record it using our own equipment
like we should have done the first time. Scheduled recording is
June 12th-15th. With the help of Myspace we are gonna help
revolutionize the music industry...one small town at a time!
I don't really know what to write about in this thing anymore. I don't think anybody checks my website anyway...
lata suckas!!

It's like, that high you get from being at summer camp. Or coming
back from a really awesome youth retreat. It's a defining moment
in any person's life. When you get done doing something...and
you're cold, tired, hungry, exhausted, and all you can think about is
"when are we gonna do that again?" There's such a deep connection
there that I'm sure there are a lot of people that never feel that, and
that's so sad. It's like you know that you know that you know
that this is what God wants you to do. You may not do it
perfectly everytime, but at least you're moving in that
direction. It's easier to steer a moving vehicle back in the
right direction than it is to steer one that has stopped. I'm
pretty sure that as a band we're at least moving in the right
direction. I may not know exactly what God has in store for us
but I know that it's gonna be huge! I just wish I knew what and
when. Now is not the time for me to know. I do know that I
have a gift. It's a huge responsibility and sometimes I waste it,
sometimes I don't use my gift in the best way possible. But I'm
recognizing more and more how huge this gift is and how huge this
responsibility is. I think music is the best way to get into
someone's head. And when you get into their head you can affect
their thinking, when you can affect their thinking you can affect their
action. I pray that we can continue to write lyrics that cause
people to think, and that we can continue our ministry off stage as
well as on stage. We spend an average of 1 hour/month on
stage. Music is what we love, but it's only the doorway to our
ministry.

| I'm gonna keep the ugly colors.
I've been a myspace pimp, whoring out my band to a lot of people
lately. I think most of them haven't bothered to listen to our
music. Bastards!! They just want to add to their collection
of "myfriends". It makes me so mad I could spit! Anyway,
had a good time with Thomas the past few days. Hangin out,
playing Halo, staying up late, drinking his sodapop. I don't
think that last one was technically a sentence but oh well.
Moving along. We have a show in Leola on Saturday and all day
today I was singing while delivering so I could get my vocal range back
and get it in shape for the show. Most people wouldn't know it,
but your voice is a muscle and must be kept in shape if you want to
sound goodly. Also...did you ever notice that you're really tired
after going to a rock show? Not just because of the bepoping
around, but because of the loud music. Your ears are also muscles
and loud music gives them a pretty good workout, couple that with
bepoping around at a two hour show and your head feels like it's been
sweatin to the oldies for six days 'straight'...get it...I said sweatin
to the oldies and "straight"...nevermind...stupid joke.
So...whatever happened to that one girl? Why do guys always talk
about girls and girls always talk about guys? Ok, so maybe not
always, but I was just noticing the other day that about 85%-95% of all
songs on the radio are about "love" or "feelings" or "sex"...basically
guys singing about girls and girls singing about guys..
Hmm...that just made me think. Could I write a song...nay...a
whole album that's not about love? That's not about girls?
I has been done, but could I myself do it? I'm not sure.
I've tried my hand at writing specifically "Christian" songs and I suck
at it. They're all corny. But I think back to some old
records of Petra and I realized that they were corny too!!
I think I just need to think more about salvation, honor, and other
such things. Maybe then I'll have an idea for a song not inspired
by girls or my feelings for girls, whether it be love or hate, or the
ever popular lovehate. I don't understand how that one works.
