X-Men III... Face Rocking Material???

Doesn't it suck when people let you down.

Well, I'm not trying to say the movie was bad... I didn't see it. I was supposed to, but the plans seem to have fallen apart... and I'll still probably have to pay Jesse for a ticket whenever I see her next...

Well... Whatever... People let you down... I let you down... The movie probably does suck... who cares... right???

At least I got my new phone, and The Classic Crime CD "Albatross" and the Run Kid Run CD... and Run Kid Run shoe laces.

Well, I'm sorry. Life has been pretty.... vacant lately, and I just don't feel like writing anything.
I'll soon have to start paying rent (living in my parent's house... not the A-frame).
I've seriously been considering moving back to Jacksonville. Aside from a few people here, I don't think I would miss much at all.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say my life sucks out here... but...
I really love my job. (Of course I'd love any job... I just love doing things, that's me)
Sadly enough, my job would be the hardest thing to move away from.

Well, I guess there really isn't too much more to say.
I hate having such a sour attitude... but life really sucks right now. I'm out of school, and so happy. I love working at Movie Gallery... the people there make it such fun, and I love the Honor Bound men's meetings and the Discipleship meetings (one each month). But honestly... life really sucks right now.
I suppose when work is the highlight of your day (and don't get me wrong... I love the people there) ...
Whatever... I should be happy. This CD is amazing, and the song "Who Needs Air is wonderful, and so... liberating...
But... there is this weight on my heart...
A weight of uselessness... or a weight saying that I'm not doing what I'm meant to do.

Well, forget this... I'm not saying anything... Stop reading... go read something valuable.

Here's what I've written lately (feel free to tell me how much it sucks... seriously... I've been having good ideas, but if I try to write anything... it just comes out as crap...):
05/12/06 (02:45)
I know just what to say
To make it all feel okay
But my thoughts keep flashing back
To a bullet painted black
And a regal liquid
Flowing from a smoking hole I put into your back
I know just what to do
To make it all seem okay
But I know your smile's deeper
Than your painted lips portray
And I know your heart is waiting
For a blue sky in the gray
For this night to turn to day
And this doubt into a faith

I wish I knew of something I could say
Or something I could do
To give the world to you
I wish I knew exactly what to say
To make my way next to your heart
With hope that I might remain
... Forever true ...

Don't let her go
She's safe at home
But who am I to say
Don't let me out
I'm safe at home
Who are you
Telling me what's best to do

05/17/06 (20:18)
They've been watching you
Watching you
Every detail
They've been watching you
Waiting for you to fall
The devil's after
The devil's after you
He's on your heels
Waiting for you to fall

05/19/06 (23:14) This may be the one good thing I've written lately
I ran out of emotions to show
So remembering childhood
I smiled
It was not a true smile
But I have been skilled at lying
Perhaps they would believe my common response
"I'm doing fine, how are you?"
And so...
Remembering a death in my childhood
... I smiled.

05/20/06 (00:40) (Movies = Happiness money can buy)

I've lost hope of ever taking flight
All the greatest thinks I could think
Have found a number of ways of making me cry
And even the happiness they sell
Is just another dose of death for me to buy.

05/24/06 (19:37) These are just some ideas I had

Run like hell ... is nipping at your heels
(I really just wanted to find a way to justify screaming RUN LIKE HELL)

Good night, good luck
And good riddance.
(this has no negative meaning toward the movie "Goodnight and Good Luck" which I very much enjoyed, and hope to purchase, but I did take some inspiration from the film...)


"Death to the salad eaters" (play the game Armed and Dangerous... I beat it in less than a week, and it was drop dead funny for the most part.)

In the Groove and Out of the Spotlight

Blog from MySpace.

Current mood: accomplished
Category: Music

So, I was going to email a couple friends, and then I decided I'd just post a blog. It makes things easier. That way everyone can get the story, and I don't have to keep retyping it.

Us guys in Reset played our last show last night.
It rocked. I've heard that we were the best band in the line-up... (but I mainly heard this from people from work, and family).
The show rocked though.
We had been practicing all week, and Monday I didn't feel like playing anything. I just wanted to quit, but I didn't feel good, and I had to pee like every 5 minutes... (and I hadn't had a great meeting with my Statistics final that morning). Anyway, at practice on Tuesday we were on the ball. We had finally found our groove and everything was going really well. Wednesday was even more energetic, and Thursday they couldn't keep me on the ground... (or the walls or anything else for that matter).
Friday was the night of the show, and I was so excited.
Coalwood played first and did a great job. Good Job Guys!!!
We (Reset) were next.
We got up there, did I sound check and all, I put on my Chicken Little snow cap (that thing is HOT! ... in more ways than 1). Anyway we were jumpin' around like maniacs (not really that crazy, but...), it was awesome.
We played a new original song... I don't know what it was called, then we played "Forever Free" and "Addressed to You." We then played a song built around four chords that I played on the keyboard. It was really simple, but really nice, and a good way to slow down the set for "Majesty." And then we went out with a bang. Literally... I remember the BAM of the lights and the screams toward the end of a cover of David Crowder Band's "No One Like You" (I think that's what it's called). That is a pumping song and we had the place jumping. Trent and I were out there in the crowd, gettin' everybody jammin' (and I'm sorry to whoever I bumped into on the way back up onto the stage). Well, up comes the bridge, and the moment that I've been waiting for. If you've heard the song, then you understand the energy build-up during the bridge. Basically the song go slow.... and then speeds up... and then breaks for a second and then jumps right into the chorus. Well, during that break...
I just felt obligated to be upside down in the middle of a back flip.
Like all the lights flared and then I heard everybody scream. It was sweet! (and the first time I had actually done it at the perfect moment... I kept missing durning practice) I think Josh and Adam did jumps and kicks and stuff, but I didn't see them... (I'll be able to see on the recording though, Josh recorded our whole set on camera, and he said the audio is great... I want to see!!!!)

Well, I hadn't eaten all day, so I went to eat, and missed Behind the Curtain... but then I watched Providence, and they rocked.
Well, after reassembling the church, I went out to eat with half of Reset and all of Providence.

The End...
Farewell Reset.

"Your Face Here" with love

	Austin AKA Crazy Rifle Monkey	you got to be joking because I have not been able to see you play yet. You are going to have to get the band back together for a show just for the people back in OP, Posted by Austin AKA Crazy Rifle Monkey on Sunday, May 07, 2006 at 11:21 PM

That's sad that you all are breaking up. It sounds like you have fun at your shows. That's why I write blogs/bulletins too so everyone can read and I don't have to type out 5 million times to everyone. Posted by elyse on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 at 1:12 PM
