Hey, Remember Last Year?
Yeah, so 2010. It was definitely a year. Anyone who thinks any different is completely daft, because let’s face it, every year is A year. Speaking of daft, who here saw the reintroduction of Daft Punk back into American culture with Tron: Legacy coming? Yeah, that was a worthy bit of news. Yet, somehow, no one really cares, because who the hell is Daft Punk, right? Especially when we...

Album Purchases Post-Christmas
I received quite a bit of money in gift cards so I took this chance to increase my music catalog with some albums that I have been wanting for a while. Here is the list:
A Tribe Called Quest’s People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm - This completes my Tribe catalog rounding out the triad along with The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders.

Sounds Pulsing Through Life, Pt. IV
“Undergraduate, Pt. 1”
It was the month of August in 2002 when I found myself lugging a 200 CD case (not completely filled, mind you, but close) down to Arlington, TX to become an architecture freshman at the University of Texas at Arlington. My case was composed of mainly country and “Christian” music, my main staples at that point. However, as every college kid knows,...

Blood Is In The Air
The leaves rustle over the ground
As the wind coerces them to some fated place
The skies go gray then shift into black
The lightning curls around the clouds
And the thunder foretells some predestined end
The trees quiver in their place
The branches cast out their hands of death
The waves mock the power of man
The ocean swells toward the sky in defiance
Water appears and acts in trinity: steam,...

The Dusk to Daylight Trilogy
III.
Daylight of Sorrows (Whatever She Took)
It seems so clichéd and romanticized to end it with a pull of the trigger
But the act must not be delayed or the sun might rise before I set
Oh, looking down on me are those despising fates that so often I have met
I stare up at them, aching for them to renew my life’s vigor
“I can’t do it!” I say to myself as the my hand battles the gun down to...

Corriendo por Ciudad Juarez →
If anyone feels called or convicted to give to a worthy cause then please consider this one as it will provide a home for a family that is less fortunate in Juarez, Mexico. I can vouch for this cause because I have gone down to build two houses for them myself! Free shirt designed by Jeff W. if you give more than $40!

Medicinal Relevance For You: Dustin Kensrue... →
mrfy:
Just wrapped up an interview Dustin in Baltimore. Reblogging to your friends would be greatly appreciated. Also I have no idea what my bold or italicized words wont appear as such.
Thrice has played a lot of varied spaces, be it small clubs or 20,000 seat arenas. Does the mindset change…

On Vacation
Sorry if my posting has been sparse lately. I am in DFW enjoying fellowship with some of my closest friends and I won’t have the time to post as often as usual. However, I will try to get an occasional one or two out at night time. Love you all. Be back refreshed and ready for more later!

Andrew Schwab's Blog →
Project 86 has been a favorite band of mine for a while now. However, I think the biggest reason I like this band is because of the incredibly deep lyrics and the man behind them, Andrew Schwab. The man can write like a mofo. His blog gives you a good representation of how legit he is with the pen.

How Real is America's Faith? by Stanley Hauerwas
The British, I have discovered, assume that Americans are more religious than they are. That presumption seems justified in the light of Ed Miliband’s declared atheism. As yet no one running for high political office in the US has been willing so to identify themselves. Indeed, it seems to be a requirement of political office in America that you believe in God. Americans seem to think...

The Flesh Grows Back
Knife wound bleeding
Drops weaving between fingers
Blood fell to the dirt, as did I
Death’s mask covering
Eyes closing in conclusion
Those looking on jeer and leer toward the figure
Felt power of death over life, they dwell
They know the course of nature, of course
Nothing brings the dead breath again
Let alone life
Shaun, George, and Ash all know
That flesh grows back
The defeat of death is...

Hipsters: How long, oh Lord? How Long?
Mr. Newberry: Did I have you figured wrong?
Martin: I don’t know; I mean, I hope so.
Mr. Newberry: I visualised you in a haze as one of those slackster, flannel-wearing, coffee-house misanthropes I’ve been seeing in Newsweek.
Martin: No-no-no, I went the other road. Six figures, doing business with lead-pipe cruelty, mercenery sensibility. You know… sport sex, no real...
