Days Of The Brighter Dawn

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:27:40 -0700

my days have become constant mornings and cool breezes.
i'm regaining my focus now. there was a day i felt a constant jump in my chest. i believe it was 2005. i am determined to become a purist again like i used to be.
there was only a handful who remember this. it was all about living life to the fullest, long walks to nowhere, early in the morning, late at night. going to the zoo, bright eyes, smiles, washed faces, warm embraces.

i'm determined to rediscover that. it was a very good year, before the poorest of choices, before the stresses that adulthood brings. i'm redefining who i am. constant purchasing of Odwallas and cold weather. i had a life. i'm taking it back.

now if i could only just get paid.

brighter days are here.

thank you for listening

Is Obama Getting Sloppy?

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 05:19:44 -0700

In the recent New York Times article, Senator Barrack Obama, has up to now, wooed the people from left wing all the way to the right. With this year's unbelievable switch of republicans and independents to the democratic race, has Obama exhausted his prized speech of hope? Now shifting His opinions on single matter issues like the concerning war in Iraq, many critics has shamed Obama at what seems like a "flip-flop" candidate.

a simple day

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 05:19:44 -0700

So today has been a pretty easy day, you cant do much when youre broke. But to make the best of it, the roommates and i cleaned house. I didn't know how disgusting everything was until we got our hands dirty, literally. So, besides the fact that i work mostly at starbucks, i have decided to start selling mortgage protection insurance. I hear theres money in that, especially with the many houses with this economy being foreclosed because its getting harder for homeowners to afford there houses and homes (more on that later). I havent really played music lately, i havent had the inspiration. Its been hard lately. But in all of this i made a new song called "Sound." (check for lyrics on this blog called "Sound.") Until, hopefully ill have some more news feeds up later tonight. Peace.

Update. 1:06 AM

Here's the link i mentioned I would post from my new found friend New York Times:

[secrets | 06.21.2008]

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:46:02 -0700

Lately I've been running across references and finding new scripture about secrets. I'm not too sure why either. I'm not normally one to secrets. Here's just a couple I've run across that stand out to me in this:

"For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light."

Mark 4:22 ESV

"Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bringto light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God."

1 Corinthians 4:5 ESV

My mind draws a blank with these scripture on how they mean to my life. At face value, these two scriptures talk about how all secrets cannot be hidden, obviously. Everything
will come to light. No man in darkness in his heart can keep hidden the ways of his sin. *For the Lord knows all and sees all. And any wrong doings in the Name of the Lord is held as heresy and will be done away with and that man shall be judged harshly by the Lord. For no man, shall, will, and can taint the Name of the Lord. for the Lord will not stand for it.

*note. Upon writing this, I felt that it needed to be said. Now upon this revelation, it doesn't mean that this is the only meaning behind this topic, even those in general sin who doesn't commit this in the Name of the Lord can be held secret either. But in this case, I beleve this is where God wanted me to say.

i am the hands who brought you out of your worry
i am the one who put the wind in your sails
and though it feels like its the end of your journey
i am the one who is the way to escape

i am the one who gives the sound to the music
i am the one who brings the life to the dead
and may you never find yourself lost in the rhythm
for im the one who wrote the score to your song...

[05.21.2008 | moving to dallas]

Thu, 22 May 2008 03:36:02 -0700

So recently I've been called to go to Dallas, Tx to work in the youth and the first place i've been called to was at Hillcrest Church. I'm pretty stoked, mixed with a little adrenaline and nervousness.

I'm moving out of my father's house.

I'm becoming a man who has to do what he can to live now at 22 years. It kind of puts a heaviness in my heart sometimes when I start to think about how it's time to move on with life and fully take on the responsibility of being an adult. I'll be moving to North Plano and staying with a couple of roommates Justin and Reese. Justin and I have remained friends for about three years now, and with me living in Houston and him living in Dallas, we've managed to keep our friendship despite the long distances. I haven't met Reese yet, I'm pretty sure he's a pretty cool guy, i mean he has a beard and plays drums; he's already sportin' an awesome on his shirt like a snazzy button and well deserves it I'm sure.

Rent's going to be pretty cheap. Cheaper where I live by about $25-$50, and I'll be working at another Starbucks there. It's been awhile since I've left and entry, I've been doing my best to try to quit my job and move on. But it's been hard trying to get a job around where I work, but Glory be to God, I stayed because now I don't have to worry about being unemployed in Dallas.

At Hillcrest Church, I expect to be a Youth Assistant and an intern there for a season. I say I expect because the job is there at the church and it's looking more like it's about to happen. The only thing I'm waiting for is the pastor, Mark Brand. He's on a missions to Sri Lanka currently and has been unable to give a say about any of what's going on in the Youth. But I'm trusting in God to open a door, even if it isn't there but somewhere else.

I've met Someone who has become very special to me, her name is Hope Abigail. She's become my best friend and like a dear sister to me, who always lifts me up in prayer and encourages me to live out my call and dreams for the Lord. She's almost become my other-half. She's currently at a bible college in Dallas and every time I'm in town were like joined at the hip. I love like I love my own family. I know she'll stick around no matter what. If you keep up with my music you may have heard the song "Something About Divine Hope" or seen in previous texts that say "Divine Hope is the latest thing." It is, you should look it up. The first time I left Dallas to go back home after visiting her I gave her my Moleskine journal and she promised to write to me until it was full. It's going to and does contain a bunch of quotes that's we've shared and feelings she has. I cannot wait. As for that there's really not anything else going on except that God is Great! I'll keep every one up to date, or at least I'll try.

end transmission.

I've always been a bit adventurous on finding new music. no matter where it's from. anything, just anything to get away from the corporate music world. and then i found this guy on virb.com and a recommendation through my buddy wes. probably the most refreshing thing i've listened too. it reminds me of snowy days of february at bible college in dallas. i highly recommend this guy to you!

..yea i love being a musician...
