1. Intelligence<br />
2. Interests aligning: interested sports, music, movies/comedy<br />
3. Driven; self-starter; independence<br />
4. Chemistry/flow in our conversations<br />
5. Spirituality<br />
<br />
"What is your definition of love?"<br />
Two things:<br />
First: an intense feeling of deep affection.<br />
And secondly: if I imagine you throwing up (just profusely; ugly upchuck, you know), and I can imagine reaching out and trying to catch you and your said 'ugly upchuck', I probably love you quite a bit ;)klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-81611032738842079882012-11-06T23:54:00.002-06:002012-11-06T23:54:29.819-06:00Rachael Yamagata "It'll Do" (Lyrics)<br />

i wish i had a yard.<br />
if i had a yard i'd put hedges in it.<br />
if i had a yard with hedges i'd make a maze.<br />
if i had a hedge maze in my yard i'd make an entrance but no exit.<br />
i'd make people go into it.<br />
they wouldn't come out.<br />
i'd watch & laugh at the people in the hedge maze in my yard.<br />
but i have no yard.<br />

.....<br />
oh, there is no good in me<br />
not an ounce of sympathy<br />
i'm a liar and a thief<br />
but i'm alright<br />
<br />
there's a confidence in me<br />
an abortion of unease<br />
close the door and see the greed<br />
that lies inside<br />
<br />
oh<br />
how the gravity draws<br />
oh<br />
how the comfort groans<br />
oh<br />
how the growing takes the<br />
time from out my lungs<br />
follows me around<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
sweet.<br />

What are we as Christians doing that is so tame that it would be tolerated by such a wide spread amount of people?
The Jesus I've read about isn't tame.
The Paul I've read about followed Jesus in a way that put him in jail.
Jesus was nailed on a cross, because his culture took him as a criminal.
He was not tame.
Why am I?
Why isn't what I stand for making more noise in a wild way?

Flipped through it last night and this afternoon. I've been a Dylan fan since I picked up the guitar. Just seeing some of the pictures in this book & reading about what inspired some of his songs made me want to write. So, I wrote a few verses and a chorus. I'll probably add another verse or two and/or a bridge, but I'm satisfied with it thus far.<br /><br />"The Road is Gonna Be A War"<br /><br /><br />If something is inside you let it out<br />If cannon balls explode inside your chest, you shouldn’t doubt<br />That the road is gonna be<br />The road is gonna be a war<br />If everything you have is robbed from you <br />And you are left with nothing but this moment, you know that<br />The road is gonna be<br />The road is gonna be a war<br /><br />Say what they will<br />Say the wrong things, you know I will<br /><br />What if there’s no savior in the end?<br />What if everything you played your cards on is a myth?<br />Say, the road is gonna be<br />The road is gonna be a war<br />The constant current might drag you beneath<br />Turn you, shake you, spit you out, and tangle you with grief<br />Yeah, the road is gonna be<br />The road is gonna be a war<br /><br />Say what they will<br />Say the wrong things, you know I will<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blareshare.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bob-dylan-writing-car-lyrics.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 299px;" src="http://www.blareshare.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bob-dylan-writing-car-lyrics.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-19869586514179417492012-02-15T00:30:00.002-06:002012-02-15T00:33:31.744-06:00MusclesHey.

It sat beneath a billowing mustache and upon a strong foundation of a beard that was unshaven due to lack of interest. <span style="font-style:italic;">I'm pretty sure I turned them off.</span><br /><br />He sat on the pier watching sails dance across the sky, hardly, it seemed, attached to the boats beneath. The sky was blue. The seas were blue. The buildings were blue. He exhaled out, and the smoke was blue. A man across the pier shouted out. It sounded like blue. The fish were blue. His chair was white.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Maybe I'll move to India. I think I'd like that . . . The people there don't smile much, but there are lovely smells in their food.</span> A small, brown dog ran by, followed by a boy, Lucien I think his name is. He was supposed to be in school, but Lucien's, or whatever his name is, father caught and sold fish and couldn't afford hired help. Lucien wasn't much help except to move a few loads of fish, roll ropes, and make sure the small, brown dog didn't run away.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">I'd like to have sex with an Indian woman</span>, he thought, switching from right over left leg to left over right. <span style="font-style:italic;">A young girl. One who'd just like to fool around a bit before she's wed.</span> The blue water looked lively today. Salt water doesn't really smell like much after a while. But he wouldn't have noticed any way.<br /><br />Shouts and waves and songs and the small, brown dog barking. People, mostly middle aged men, would pat him strongly on the shoulder as they passed by his white chair. He didn't care what they said. He'd stopped caring years ago. <span style="font-style:italic;">The sky sure is blue today. Lovely clouds, though. </span>He did notice the sky.klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-39198535386974805972012-01-12T13:47:00.000-06:002012-01-12T13:50:04.176-06:00Ellis - InterviewI could not NOT post this!

I'd like to say something... that I've prepared... tonight...<br />Hello,<br />How 'bout that ride in? I guess that's why they call it 'Sin City'. (hahaha) You guys may not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But, when my sister brought Doug home I knew he was one of my own, and, my wolf pack, it grew by one. So, were there two, there were two of us in the wolf pack: I was wa-alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second. Could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So, tonight... I make a toast!klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-57593931829824669102011-10-20T22:18:00.002-05:002011-10-20T22:24:08.304-05:00Washed, Sanctified, Justified!1 Cor. 6:1-11, ESV<br />Thank you, Jesus!

May it bless you as well!<br /><br />1 Thessalonians 5:12-28, ESV<br />"We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.<br /><br />Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. Brothers, pray for us. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-9796735424356567112011-10-11T21:22:00.005-05:002011-10-11T21:42:04.689-05:00Proverbs 30, ESV<span style="font-weight:bold;">Proverbs 30<br /><br />The Words of Agur</span><br /><br /> The words of Agur son of Jakeh.

It seems as though attendance to “band” shows is down. Singer-songwriter performances have always had the “correct” number of attendees, in my opinion, because of the way the singer-songwriter system is set up. Usually, one books a singer-songwriter in a restaurant or private venue; one or the other. Because of this, attendees either ignore or enjoy the performance. That being said, this post is not concerned with the singer-songwriter. So, let us not count that style of music in the discussion. <br /><br />My aim, however, is concerned with “band” music. I have seen quality musicians and singers with quality songs struggle. My question and frustration (as I know is theirs as well) is ‘why’? Why the heck are these talented people struggling to captivate and, more importantly, keep an audience? Their performances are good. Their talent is good. Their delivery is good. So, why?<br />My conclusion, which I will express in a moment, comes from simple evolution. Do we as a society remain stagnant biologically and spiritually and technologically? No. We evolve. So, then, why is the “band” idea remaining the same? We should evolve this! How? Creativity. Learn from the past, but don’t stay in it. People are incredibly bored with the “band scene”. Believe me, I am. I don’t want to go see a band play. I don’t.<br /><br />Now, I am in no way saying, “People are bored. Let’s make them ‘unbored’.” No, no, no. I’m rather saying. Get creative. Get weird. I have been loving folks like The Flaming Lips, James Blake, and Astronautalis as of late. Why? I mean, The Flaming Lips are old. They’ve been going at this for a while. So, why am I captivated so much by them? Because they are weird. Because they are creative. They don’t stay in the box. James Blake & Astronautalis: they don’t stay in the box, and they are on constant mission to create.<br /><br />So, my conclusion: The “band scene” cannot and will not captivate unless they first create. Think I’m wrong? Apply this and prove me wrong! Please! I believe I am correct, but I want to see if I am. There is a difference between ‘I was inspired by’ & ‘I created’. Create! Just as you were created, create! Evolve! I believe we will see a shift in numbers, captivation, and loyalty in live music attendance if the change & evolution is made.klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-71331129595716435772011-08-14T19:08:00.002-05:002011-08-14T19:12:04.090-05:00Stuck<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.guzer.com/pictures/jeep-is-stuck.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 444px; height: 299px;" src="http://www.guzer.com/pictures/jeep-is-stuck.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

And the feeling is an impulse that begins inside, like a sexual impulse. Almost as definite as that. It's a feeling that begins in the pit of the stomach and rises up through the breast, out the mouth and ears, and it comes forth as a croon or a groan or a sigh. So, if you try to put words to that by looking around you and trying to describe what's making you sigh, to sigh in words. You simply articulate what you're feeling." -Allen Ginsberg, <span style="font-style:italic;">Howl</span>klshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692115338785609660.post-647694049782439752011-07-26T20:38:00.003-05:002011-07-26T20:47:33.009-05:00This ThingThis thing, it wraps me up in itself and makes me cold<br />This thing, it harbors every bit of my attention<br />This thing, it suffocates the good in me<br />This thing, it crushes my spirit<br /><br />And yet<br /><br />I keep giving into, feeding, entertaining, making time for<br />This thingklshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742277489686924353noreply@blogger.com0
