Breathe

Some time has passed and I feel like its time to start writing again - for a couple different reasons. Mainly because it is now a very short time until I leave and I think this will be a good way for you all to know what's going on in my life while I am in Australia.

So like I said, the time has finally passed and next wed. I will begin my journey, through airports, crossing borders, changing time zones, and beginning something incredibly awesome, quite scary, and relatively life changing. Haha, oh man, I feel like I am crazy for even thinking about doing this whole school thing, but I'll say what I've said all a long - "his will, and not mine". I am sure that God knows what he is doing.

I have most things ready for my departure, I sort of just need to start packing and all of the last minute things.

Life right now is honestly sort of challenging, because I feel alone, with a lack of friends because everyone is so busy this time of year - so thats understandable, but part of me does not really want to make the move to talk to people because then I am just starting something that will soon need to end, not End, but you know? As of late, I've been spending most of my time writing and finishing the new songs which will hopefully be done next week, for sure within the month. I like most of the new stuff which I have wrote, and right now we're just finishing the vocal tracks and percussion. I am honestly excited to share these songs with my friends and family - and anyone else out there who listens.

So I have to write about this, just because I do. This year my music tastes have really changed quite a bit, I've leveled out and started to listen to a lot more folk and light hearted music. Yesterday I was walking around HMV, in hopes that I might pick up a cd that would really be GOOD, that I would really enjoy. Now honestly, when you go looking for an album like that, how often do you actually find one? I don't know about you, but I don't usually find just the right now, but I sure did. Its as if a light form of punk rock sat down for a cup of coffee with a traveling folk musician. I picked up "Marriage" by Attack in black, and honestly I almost love the whole album. There are parts where I am not a huge fan, but the majority of it is very well balanced - please check it out! It sort of has this passion that I have not heard in a long time, but it is also carries this deep sense of heart, and paints a nostalgic painting, thats probably not the right word - its sort of what comes to mind. For the sound that they have, it has a very old and wise heart (so I find).





I actually had the chance to play a show with these guys a couple years ago, and I remember them playing a really awesome set. They were also just great dudes.

After all that said, go pick up the album - its worth the $16.00.
