Bottom Line.

Think what you may, and decide as you will, but here's what it comes down to:
This nation was built on Christian priciples wether you like it or not.
And our forefathers want it to stay that way. It's the way it was intended to be!
Thefore, we need a leader who values life and values morals.
The reason for someone to not value life is because of a lack of morals.
A ton of people argue that an issue like abortion should not lead you to decide how to vote, but I say, of course it is! It's a human life, a future american! a child. I would never in a million years, for any reason under the sun, wish to have a leader who was not going to value that life.

Now I know, you're probablly all like "shut up! you know nothing you're only 15...blah blah blah..." Well, that's rediculous. As an american citizen I have the right to have an opinion, and you can take my word for it, I know a ton of about I'm talking about. Not to sound condesending, but probablly a lot more than some kids our age. I know that I can't vote, but I can't help but be passionate about it. It's my life that these men will be affecting!

I just pray to God, that we elect a leader who has value of life. And if the wrong person gets elected than let God's will be done. Our days are running short and I'm ready to go home.

In My Opinion

Music's fails when there's no passion in it. Sing about something real. Something that's got meaning and relates to life today.

1. Bright Eyes
2. Manchester Orchestra
3. Brandnew (devil and God are raging inside of me brandnew)
4. Brandi Carlile
5. Coulour Revolt
6. Spoon
7. Johnny Cash

Halleluja

I don't typically enjoy female singers, but Brandi Carlile is amazing. Seriously, go check her out.
and when you do, listen to her cover of Halleluja by Jeff Buckley.

Oh! and here's some more of my feelings in song form:

That's not passion if it's got no soul
when I wake up in the morning, shaking and cold
before my feet hit the floor I have more passion in my breath
than you've ever put into a song, and I suggest
you find a new way to do it, cause i might not stay
but leaving sounds just way too easy.

There's a bullet in the gun.

Is it alright to do this?
can we be forgiven if we ask?
I'll pull the peices together
and we'll finish our task.
Because I started all of this
and I will end it too.
Dear God give me the stength
and tell me what to do.

Dear Scott Nelson,

WHATEVER!
:]

And so it is.

So, today is mine and Nikki's three year "anniversary". I know that's the proper word for it but it makes us sound too old. Yesterday we celebrated by spending the day in ann arbor and getting dinner down there. It's funny when we do those things though because my mom just sits in the car and listens to the radio for like 3 hours! haha. I seriously wouldn't trade it for the world though. She's the best and means everything to me. There's many more years to come!

:]

3 fricken years...

And it never gets old!

I Want to See It

Saturday's show was by far one of the funnest shows we've played in a long time. Between the kid in the sheep costume and the guy dressed up as the Liberty Mutual Diabetis man, it was hilarious! We've been doing some talking lately and we're starting to really figure out what we want to do with our music. For so long we've had one mind set and one style of writing, and we're ready to change a little. I'm stoked.

Been listening to a lot of Colour Revolt latley. Most likely you'll see influences in our new stuff. If you don't have their new album, go get it. It's way better than Copeland!

A Vacation

I've been dreaming so dark
black and white pigments in your skin
shows me you've been cheating
not on me but in the game we're in.

I had a dream I killed your family
there blood was black and white
No pigment in my skin
showed me something wasn't right

So give me a technicolor dream
a beam of hope, a light to see
your georgeous green eyes
another reason to believe
in black and white
It's not perfect, but I sleep just fine.

And I had a dream you killed my family
there blood; the darkest red.
the pigment in my skin; the color that I dread
shows me something isn't right
but that may just be fine.
It's not perfect, but I sleep alright.

Doctor, Doctor!

if you want to be paranoid about every little thing, watch this show.

SUPER!

ADDICTING.

Nostalgic

Last night I listend to: Panic!at the Disco(when they still had the !), Fall Out Boy, Waking Ashland, Simple Plan, Silverstein, and Senses Fail...I relaize all of those bands are terrible, but it took me back. Back when I was always afriad of getting beat up, when I was changing girl friends each week, and taking money from my mother's purse to buy clothes from Hollister, ahhh yes. Those were the days...

Busy!

1. School 9:00 - 2:00
2. Drum Lesson 2:00 - 3:00
3. iPod Appointment 4:00 - 4:30
4. Nikki's House 5:00-10:00

It feels good to do something for once. Today's going to be productive, I can feel it in the air.

by the way! I got the Manchester Orchestra EP/DVD last night and I reccomend everyone go get! I got mine from Record Time in Roseville. I'm in love.

Sympathy for the Martyr

The price some people pay for their religion is incredible...

Taliban gunmen kill Christian aid worker in Kabul (AP)
AP - Taliban gunmen killed a Christian aid worker in Kabul as she was walking to work on Monday, and the militant group said it targeted the woman because she was spreading her religion.

Stop! Take Some Time To Think!

Britney Spears gets divorced, goes crazy, shaves her head, loses her kids, her 16 yr.old sister gets pregnant, then she goes to "re-hab" and now is rolling around naked in a steam room singing about how Guys only want to have sex.
WHAT THE HECK!

Yesterday!

Yesterday was aweomse. The show went really well, except the headline position kind of worked against us in terms of having new people listen to us...oh well.

Today however, is not my day. I'm doing school, Nikki can't hangout and I just spilled Arizona Green Tea all down the front of me. shoot me.

...Down.

I seem to be down on my luck lately. This month started out really good...I don't know what happened. Any who, when I get in these moods here's what gets me through. I recommend you listen to all of these:

• Parachutes by Coldplay
• Gimme Fiction by Spoon
• HOME Vol. 4 by Bright Eyes & Spoon
• Digital Ash in a Digital Urn by Bright Eyes
• Brother, Sister by mewithoutYou

Some other great albums to listen to:

• First Came the Law by Once Nothing
• Hope For the Best But Prepare for the Worst by Saints Never Surrender
• I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child by Manchester Orchestra
• First Impressions of Earth by The Strokes

I had the wonderful opportunity to finally see my all time favorite band earlier this month, Showbread. All you haters out there can shove it! And the leaves are falling off the trees which is sad in some kind of metaphoric/symbolic way...but it's still a pretty sight.

I recommend reading Save Me From Myself by Brian "Head" Welch, the ex-guitarist of Korn. It's basically about how he went from demented to redeemed. Excellent story and an awesome testimony.

Someone tell me why I feel so down

I got nothing to lose and nothing to prove

just a broken heart and a hole in my shoe

write me a song of hope

that allows me to belong

and we can all be Friends and we'll all sing
along

oh tell me how to feel

show me something real.

Me.

I see this going no where,
Your lips tremble at the very thought.
You say we're in it together.
But the truth is that we're not,
and I think you know.
I think you know.

I have a burning passion,
to paint a picture and call it my own.
My very heart and soul
poured out in ink for you.
sign my name and press my thumb print
no one else will have the same.
But you have your agenda
and no one can play your game
because you always win,
you always win.

This never was what I want,
Disrespect and a shaking hand.
Just replace me, it's just that easy.
so I can go my seperate ways
and I think I'll change,
I think I'll change.

NOPE

Mmmm...Bacon.

Once again I woke up late, but it was worth it.
I made a huge breakfast. Bacon, Eggs, and Waffles.
It was probablly the best thing to ever happen to me...today.
Yesterday Nikki and I had a mini Office Marathon. Best show ever.

My sister just recently turned 21 and yesterday I discovered a half empty
bottle of Sky Vodka in the freezer....
BRING BACK PROHIBITION!

I Can Feel A Hot One!

I just bought Manchester Orchestra's new EP/DVD. I'm stoked.
December 4th seems so far away. Go listen to them, www.myspace.com/manchesterorchestra

Have We Lost Our Minds?

it's the constant bracing shock of now,
it's the whole damn world turned inside out, alright.
-Kevin Devine


It's 12:06 and instead of doing school I'm blogging,
and I'm about to go shower.
Home school life is so tough....

If only I could...

it's not that I don't like it, I just want to do it my way.
my own words, my own songs.

i guess we can't always get what we want...

Eagle Eye

So today I had to go and get inspired by a few of my favorite artists. One of which is:

Josh Porter (dies) of Showbread- Gotta be one of my all time favorite frontmen. He's got this energy and spunk that you dont see in too many other artists. Plus he's got a super experimental sound. I tuned on Dead by Dawn and screamed my heart out. Now I got a sore throat. Raw Rock Kills!

by the way, Go see this movie:

HOORAH!

America is a mess.

But it's the best.

That what I got to say.
